UDC YR. 1306

UDC YR. 1310 (+1309 recap)

Was outta the loop of playing my udc save for a hot minute that I forgot to take screenshots for 1309 when I got back so recap time! All that happened really was that Ruben remarried early 1309! Thats- that is really it. He does get sad about Lilith every now and then but for challenge purposes I need more heir possibilities... I don't wanna loose before gen 2 L

(You are seeing right, I did change my shaders again) These days, Philip has been pretty scared to say the least. He rarely goes to bed himself anymore cause he's scared of monsters and the dark...

Also! I decided to revoke them of their loft and instead made a bedroom for the parents so the babies don't wake the other children. Baby Lowri has been very destructive and so Ben and her are not at likes at the moment...

Fun little family dinner on the first day of winter! Literally, this was the first time they all sat on the same end of the table and the toddlers were both around the table. Perfectly sat down at different sides of the table too! I dunno, it was very satisfying for me lol

And on the last day of 1310... Ulla gave birth... And I swear I am not cheating these, nor do I have any traits to make them more fertile for mulitples... But Ulla had quads! (I am dying) She had Ebba (F), Erilyn (F), Eino (M), and Eyra (M)! I tried to give them more Scandinavian names to match their mother's nationality. Sadly, Ebba was a stillborn but the other three came out healthy!

And since we have passed ten years, heres a look on the family tree! (because its so big, I am no longer having any more kids with gen 0 parents lol I was planning to only have two or one with Ulla-) Ignore the spoilers of the quads surviving infanthood and Ben getting to a child lol, that happens first day of 1311.

UDC YR. 1301

Babies Philip and Izabella were born early into the year, completely healthy! Luckily, there were no complications for either the babies or Lilith.

Both Lilith and Ruben are ecstatic to welcome they're children but find it almost bittersweet with how fast they are growing up. The twins quickly grown accustomed to the chickens, even mimicking them when they would crow or cluck, to which would always confuse the chickens and usually scare them off...

It wasn't too long after, maybe a third into the year, when Lilith found out she was pregnant again. Although ready to welcome the new child with open arms just as she did with the twins, she almost feels conflicted about moving a tad too fast. Money was short, and their house was small.

And,,, Ruben had made an almost fatal mistake when trying to repair the fridge. His candle he was using for light ended up getting bumped too close to the wood and caught the whole thing on fire. Luckily, Ruben was able to put it out fairly quickly, though Lilith is still worried about another fire breaking out, moving every candle at least two feet away from the walls.

Although Lilith was none the wiser, (like many other villagers in town,) she met the infamous witch who lives down the street. She had whispered nonsense and somehow repaired the fridge almost instantly right in front of Lilith's eyes. Maybe she was just tired from all the farm work, the twins, and working through another pregnancy, so Lilith simply brushes it off. (as you can tell, i had too much fun giving the townies intense lore. TW: implied death (like the priest having three daughters before having a son, which he was then relieved only to find his son is fatally sick with only so many years to live.))

So... I got surprised with a pregnancy AND double of it...

They live in a one bedroom trailer... HOW ARE THEY GONNA AFFORD THIS? ONE IS IN COLLEGE, AND THE OTHER IS A GARDENER?

though it was a really sweet journey. Neither were ready, but eventually got really excited about the whole thing.

So we have a little set up of Charity starting to sell things from her garden and watch the babies while Levi goes to university, and Levi watching the babies while Charity works.

Anyhow, meet babies Thalia and Nicolas!! <3 (I was really rooting for Levi's suggestion of Thalia and Toren, but Charity was not having it LOL (part of lumpinou's RPO mod))

I fear that Nicolas is becoming a mortal enemy of mine right now... Fussy, AND doesn't like being held? AND A LIGHT SLEEPER? Both him and Thalia are light sleepers and both wake up at different times of the night, poor Charity and Leviathon don't get much sleep these days.

WHICH IS WHY I WAS SHOCKED WHEN CHARITY CAME UP AND ASKED THIS WHEN LEVI WAS TRYING TO PUT THE KIDS TO BED. Obviously I said yes because I love the drama, and if she wants kids and is asking, why not. Levi has already been autonomously thinking about baby bottles and everything.

This pandasama drawing toy is really cute, and both Thalia and Nicolas have been taking turns drawing, filling their walls with just pure chaos of crayon and paper. Thalia is also the only one who wears shoes in the house and is constantly playful because of it, and the fact she wears mismatched shoes seems so perfect about the whole dynamic.

And lastly, both Thalia and Nicolas had their first naps since aging into toddlers since they've never really been tired during the days before, but they both went and napped on the sofa, and I thought that was adorable.

Working on a save file for Willow Creek for the Ultimate Decades Challenge (1300s edition) by MorbidGamer!!

Serfs: serf was a peasant who was bound to a lord's land and was required to perform labor for the lord. Serfs were at the bottom of the social order and were treated similarly to slaves, but they could not be bought or sold. Serfs were given land for their family's needs, but they also worked on the lord's land, especially during busy times like harvest.

Fief: A fief was a piece of land granted to a lord's vassal in exchange for their service to the lord. The vassal would promise to fight for the lord and the lord would promise to protect the vassal. The vassal would oversee the serfs who worked the land.

I will update as I go along since I will be building everything myself for this challenge (i hate myself and am taking the hard route) and making original townies to give the full immersion of the challenge!

The willow creek map replacement shown in the screenshot is by MissChipsa and is completely free!!

(i gave up on finishing it for my udc playthrough, but im slowly working on it still since im probably gonna run the challenge again (i already love it im a history nerd in this sense))

UDC YR. 1307

Content Warning; Death

(ignore the random shader change, i found one that i liked a lot better and even made my game run a lot smoother)

Lowri and Llywelyn Frost are born. Luckily, both are born healthy... unfortunately, Lilith died from the birth. It was sudden, and Lilith was alone when it happened, death seemed to have no remorse for her.

For a few nights, Philip didn't want to sleep alone at all, so he had been sleeping with Ruben and Ben instead of up in the loft. Eventually, he got brave enough to go sleep on his own, but Ruben would be lying if he said he didn't find it just as comforting to have his two sons close by.

With having to pick up on chores around the house quickly, Philip ended up catching an illness from the hay after dealing with the cow. After some nurturing and lots of warm honey milk, one of Lilith's recipe's, Philip quickly overcame his illness much to Ruben's relief. Philip had ended up even dreaming of his mother the first night where she had come to comfort him of his fears.

Lowri and Llywelyn were growing bigger, and Ben has been watching their every move, asking why they did certain things and why they wouldn't answer him when they talked to him. ...He didn't cry when he found out they couldn't talk yet... just trust me bro.

Ruben met with the neighbors to hopefully set up a future arranged marriage between their daughter and Philip. ...Philip got a little distracted instead. He got extremely attracted to both Ithica's... who are married to each other already...

Philip has started to pick up archery when he isn't doing his chores! He isn't the best... Ruben doesn't know the first thing about archery, so he just lets Philip go at it and hope he doesn't get an arrow to the head while gardening.

ultimate apocalypse challenge | diary entry 5

UDC YR. 1318

For this crop year, we rolled bugs zone! Surprisingly, I didn't actually get bugs until two days in- but we digress. Minna had the baby! His name is Adelbert Wendlen and (at least for now-) is our next heir.

I fucking love when sims get stuck. He went in the water and decided he couldn't walk back over the plants. Anyways, here is the infant Adelbert now that we got to the next day, he's wiggly and so far, really loves sound. He really hates tummy time.

I've decided that their only income will be from selling at the lowest price and trading with Jacques (I don't think I spelt that right but oh well if I didn't) so we've got Minna selling to their next-door neighbour here.

Another instance of my sims going into the damn pond (river in terms of not able to make it expand past lot??) Apollo luckily got out just fine by themselves unlike somebody.

And we've got little Adelbert playing with one of Minna's cooking spoons because why not. He's got these animals wrapped around his fingers already and I love it. (especially because they literally hate Rolf if he tries to talk to them)

Thalia von Dough

Nicolas von Dough

I would have kept them infants longer, but having twins is so indescribably stressful especially when their father is FAILING HIS COLLEGE COURSES CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING THE KIDS. sigh. I'd rather him fail college than be a neglectful father though.

Sock is the kitty, I don't take enough photos of him, but Levi and Charity got him when they first started dating. He's a grumpy man. Shae is also in this photo; I might start making posts about her and her own daughter as well. 👀 anyways not much happened between this update and the last, I was busy setting up my rainbow legacy house asldnfldsaknff
