The Bigwallet/Power Storyline

 Welcome to this thing. So, the story behind this paste bin is because of the 10th episode of James' Jungle Adventure let's play. Long story short, he went to the Old Salt House and made a comment about the portrait of Max in it. Saying something like "haha I wonder if someone would make a novel about that story" Well, too bad. It's not a novel but it's a storyline with as much detail as I want to dig around for. Before we start, a term I'll use as my only unit of time is called expansion eras. An expansion era is the time from the release of an expansion pack until the release of the next one. I'll also be shortening rags to riches to R2R. I won't be delving too deep into any other spin-off series, or something like that. Some things I say might not be present in a let's play episode, just for the sake of storytelling. If you want to know the most about this timeline, brush up on your Bigwallet lineage a bit. The Bigwallet family had their Rags to Riches series start in the following eras:

Lady Bigwallet - Get to Work era
Anaya & Lacy Bigwallet - Get Together era
Sir & Little Bigwallet - Get Together era (dine out is not an expansion)
Frederick Bigwallet - City Living era (new save game)
Katrina Bigwallet - Cats & Dogs era

Now that I've done all I need to, we can start. The story starts with Lady Bigwallet, who legally changed her name to show who she truly wants to be. Royality, with a big wallet. She starts out with nothing, and raises money with her one-wall retail store. After a while of being an artist and gardener, relying on Afro Disiac, she saves up enough and gets her own art gallery/photo studio. The Bigwallet Emporium. She buys a luxurious home and then, the Lady's Life spin-off let's play begins. THEN, we have a SPIN-OFF SPIN-OFF series, the Bigwallet Bakery. A spin-off of Lady's Life. Bit after that, we go back to Lady's Life and Lady marries Wyatt, the alien and has 2 girls with him. Anaya & Lacy, the heirs of the next R2R, now in the Get Together era.

 Not short after, Max Power moves into Windenburg, the SUPER SIM! He meets Lacy while Fishing outside the Discotheque pan Europa, and they get along instantly. Max helps them fund the renovation of their grandma's emporium, because you know, they're friends. Max wasn't trying to finish the friend of the world aspiration. Either way, they get some money and finish the renovation. After that, their nightclub is successful, and Anaya and Lacy get married to Atticus and Bradley, respectively. After that, Anaya had Little with Atticus, and Lacy had Sir with Bradley. Another generation of the Bigwallet family is born, for the Dine Out R2R, of course. They still remain in the Get Together era. Max cheats on a lot of people and gets in the mood and sends an oddly arousing text to Anaya when wishing them a nice baby shower, but of course he can't come BECAUSE HE'S BUSY WOOING ZOE PATEL.

 Okay, anyway, after that, Sir & Little make their restaurants, but one of their restaurants, S.P.O.O.K. was sponsored by Max. He has a furniture line, straight out of The Shining. Max returned, once again, with his enourmous amount of money, and helped the Bigwallet family once more! Sir offered him a coffee, but he's a tea person. Little secretly despised him, but she'll take any money she can. Oh, also, Afro Disiac and Ingrid come back and have a baby. A new Disiac, and his name is Gerald Disiac-Roe! It was randomized because any fusions of their names sounded horrible. Gerald and Little have Frederic, and then they kick out Gerald. Frederic is left in a bassinet next to a mailbox on a grass field, which Max leaves to himself to help Frederic be alive. Little told him not to, and assured him that they'll take care of him. But that's like saying you'll clean your room. Meanwhile, Sir is confused how he doesn't have to pay his loan and gets confused about what he's gonna do with Anaya's and Lacy's nightclub. Oh, and he also accidentally sold R.E.E.F. without the need for it. They never got a house because JAMES NEVER DID PART 50.

 Frederic then grows up and moves to San Myshuno, starting the City Living R2R. They then enter the City Living era and a new save game. Frederic grows up to become a social media star, aspiring to be like Penny Pizzazz (which he then ends up marrying). The City Native, Frederic, had a plant room which made him a lot of money. Shady. Max Power was known to keep this from the public eye, such information could never exposed! Maxine disagrees, and keeps telling Max it's nothing too bad. Anyway, Frederic learns to sing like Elvis Presley or some other known singer, and bores everyone with his Day in the Life of a Vegetarian videos. Thankfully, he didn't ramble about his morning routine. He has a baby with Penny, and then, Katrina is born. And Penny is ignored.

 Katrina grows up and goes to Brindleton Bay, wishing to become a veterinarian, and own many vet clinics. She gets 5 pets over time, because she can't help pass by the adoption centre without doing anything. Oh, and we now come into the Cats & Dogs era. Katrina isolates herself from any calls and starts her first vet clinic, Barn (on the Boardwalk)! She learns how to diagnose pets with a single look of an eye, yell at her sleeping cleaner, and train her employees until they stop agreeing to come after work. After getting Barn to 4 stars, she buys a new vet clinic in San Myshuno. Surrounded by ads of her dad, she realizes how dumb his clothing ads are. Anyway, the old salty house is made, and, would you guess, Max comes in to help out. He basically tells her to copy the emporium, and funds her for it. He gives her a dragon fruit patch which Frederic started growing, because he had enough of him doing such horrific acts. He can't have his public image ruined because of a delinquent acquaintance! One of the elements of his discontinued furniture line, the portrait of the Dear Leader, is implemented to the vet clinic as an ode to him. He has a new funky furniture set, titled "Straight outta Pizzazz". The loveseats out of the set are being temporarily used until Max decides Katrina is worthy of another investment, or Katrina earns enough money to get what she wants. And then, she snaps. Her 5 pets are driving her out of her mind, the dragon fruit isn't growing fast enough, Penny keeps calling her, and the vets aren't making enough money. She decides to go out to Selvadorada and explore her recently found love for the Omiscan culture. And now, the Jungle Adventure spin-off series starts. She meets Mario, an archaeologist and explorer. Funnily enough, Mario's also one of Max's distant relatives. However, they are totally oblivious to that fact. Katrina buys the Bigwallet Nightclub, finds the old furniture of when it was the emporium, implements them back based on the pictures she has seen, and places her Omiscan treasures and artifacts. And this is where we are now. Katrina is currently working on her collection and museum with Mario, to hopefully fulfill that sense of accomplishment.

 The story between the Bigwallet and Power families aren't something like old friends. It's more of a client-consumer relationship. The biggest reason why I focused on the Bigwallet family more is because it was mentioned in the Jungle Adventure let's play, which has Katrina as the main person, a Bigwallet. Anyway, in most all of the situations Max was interacting with the Bigwallets, it was investing in their businesses. The fullest extent someone went to was when Sir offered some coffee. Who knows, will they ever be more than just a business deal? Will they be more involved with each other? Only time can tell. James, you have one hell of a storyline on your hands. This took me about 4-5 hours, enjoy.
