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.
Content Warning: Pet and (mentioned) Child Death
The kids have been growing pretty fast now, the twins reaching five this year while Ben turned five months old. Izabella has been taking a bigger liking to the animals then Philip, but they both are frequently outside with their father while he is doing the farm work.
Sadly, another death had struck the family, and their dog, Wolfie had passed from old age. The kids were devastated, and Ruben is stuck grieving his two kids and dog now, trying to keep a calmer demeanor for his kids. Lilith seems to be in flat out denial about talking about any of it.
Instead, Lilith has been doubling down on teaching her kids the basic needs and manners to help them mature. ...Somehow Ruben managed to get struck with lightening twice... Let's just say he was pretty delirious, and Lilith had to strangle him into bed that night.
For the majority of the days, Ruben and Lilith have really just been trying to keep the kids busy now. Lilith has been slowly teaching Izabella to cook while Ruben is itching to take Philip fishing. Lilith is not letting him of course.
Quickly, Ben reached 2 and has taken to the mud and rain by full force. (it is so weird to look at a toddler standing and jumping and call it two- my brother was doing this at two but its still weird lol ðŸ˜) He is very curious about everything, and is in his "what's that?" phase much to Lilith's dismay.
As stated in last post, I played with the Royals except for the last day of 1308, so this is a pretty short update for the Frost Family.
Ruben finally got his kids and brought them all to Saint Grace Church for Lilith's burial. A nun had come over and blessed her grave before they left, ensuring Ruben that she would be in heaven. (lol as an atheist, that is so funny and weird for playing a family that are heavily religious but we rolling along.)
Honestly, the kiddos have been getting along nicely. Lowri has become quite a troublemaker, loving to take things apart and leaving them in a destructed state. And surprise surprise, Ben is loving the action and chaos that it brings. Poor Philip is usually the one who is told to clean it up.
Ruben is slowly coming to terms with the fact he will need to rewed, slowly being okay with it too. (When his new wife has children, does it make his first wife's children no longer allowed to inherit the farm?) The only problem? Actually finding a new wife.
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))
I think I figured out why my sims often have more than one babies... I have it set so they can have up to four babies. (and in the first family, I forgot they were supposed to woohoo instead of try for baby) Rolf does less work than Minna, poor girl is going crazy. For some reason, she brought Adelbert outside while she was doing laundry, I think she's been lonely.
Adelbert survived his death roll! He's such a cutie, I love my child. Now that he's a bit older, Rolf has actually been paying attention to him... I mean. At least he's interacting with his kid now. T-T and I love that Minna is able to play with her son, it's so cute.
Episode five thousand of sims glitching into objects! Why is Jacques coming out of my sims stove/chimney, bro's Santa Claus?
Family photoooo. They look so formal and professional, it's crazy.
Adelbert PUT HIMSELF into that chair that was put their just because they own it but dont use it and he's looking at me like I put him in timeout. The family actually all went over to the market table when Minna was tending it, I had to make Rolf go back to work smh. But it was sweet of them.

Content Warning; Child Death
Huge ass post to make up for not playing in a while and my last two updates being so short lmao.
Poor Eino ended up dying of a mysterious illness (llazyneiph drama roll) and I forgot to take a picture of him as a toddler before he passed. The quadruplets have been dropped to two left, this is stressful guys.
Surprised I didn't even think of doing this earlier, but we got a photo of all the kiddos together! We are ignoring the smell glitch and the hat glitch; I fixed those after way too long of it happening lmao. Plus, a photo of just the girls together!
Both Philip and Ben are really bad at aiming the snowballs... but at least they had fun. I feel like the winter is never going to end, if I have one more blizzard, I am going to LOSE IT. Anyways.
The Frost family reached Christmas and had a lovely turkey meal. (I have nothing to make any other large meal for these holidays, ignore they had turkey for the last big holiday as well.)
The cold leaves little for the family to do work wise, so it is mostly just them trying to get through it and keep the kids entertained enough to prevent grumpy people in the house. They do seem to be faring well in that department at least. Except the fact Ben keeps making jokes about poor Erilyn.
We have new sleeping arrangements given the kids are getting older and starting to need bigger beds! Not sure how I'm going to place the fifth bed not under a top bunk when the two are no longer toddlers because it is already pushed as close as it can to the front door... but we'll deal with that when we get there, yeah?
cannot remember if ive posted character sheets of the others, but here are the ones of the new cast
CONTENT WARNING: Infant Death
1304;
Gonna be real, not a lot happened in 1304, it was pretty uneventful. Lilith got to work on the first-Generation Portrait, (which I hope doesn't break down the line... I'll keep the pictures via hardrive and integrate into my game with CC version if it does.) She is still working through her pregnancy, and the baby seems to be doing just fine. Her illnesses went away fairly quickly, so they are hoping that the babies end up birthing just fine.
I did have the family go to the local tavern for May Day, and they ended up being able to see a family of ducks, so that was pretty nice. Ruben's garden is also coming along nicely even though the soil seems to be pretty dry this season.
1305;
The toddlers don't seem to be taking the idea of having more siblings very well... but they're gonna have to get over it since I kinda need a big family to keep at least a hope that all of them don't die. ðŸ˜
Baby Ben and Thomas are born early morning. Of course, neither toddler seems to be happy about even still. While Izabella is mostly sad about it, more so about her mother not having time to spend more time with now because of another set of twins (i think she's actually cursed), Philip is outright mad about having more brothers lol.
As if to prove that is not the case to her elder children, she has been reading them bedtime stories every night... It doesn't help that the younger two are constantly waking Philip and Izabella in the middle of the night.
When aging Ben & Thomas, Thomas sadly passed from Sepsis. (I totally forgot to add this…) and I forgot to take a picture of Ben as an infant- So that will be in the next upload lol.
