Ultimate Apocalypse Challenge | Diary Entry 1

Character Sheets !!

I need them both, help

von Dough Family 1.0

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))

Babies,,, My renditions of Ray and Evangeline from The Princess and The Frog !! I'm excited to play with them though hehe, I will post their character sheets whenever I get around to actually making them

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))

von Dough Family 1.4

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

von Dough 1.5

My Gshade broke and I don't know how to fix it, it just keeps crashing my game when I open it so sadly I had to get rid of it... Reshade has always does the same thing gshade is doing now so rip. Along with losing my gshade, I lost all my game files... (never letting a sibling on my pc again smh) So the von Haunts are in a new house again. I also did have to make the twins from scratch in CAS so they might look a bit different, sorry.

PSA, Nicolas does not like the jack in the box. It was a pretty cute animation though. I'm thinking of taking the kiddos to the water park before winter hits, it's early stages of fall so it is still warm out.

And little Thalia is an actual menace. She tears up the kitchen at least once a day, much to her father's dismay. She refuses to wear her clothes sometimes, running around the house like a madman. She's definitely a handful. (Not that Nico isn't as well...)

That's it for this update. :) I might not play for a bit; I'm getting bored of like everything at the moment. So. We shall see.

UDC YR. 1300

Starter Heir:

Starter Heir's Wife:

To start off,,, Ruben and Lilith settled into a farm together shortly after marrying. With the little money from Lilith's father, they were able to buy a cow and two chickens. Their farm (gardening patch) is by no means fully used, but they have a few crops growing already.

(pretending the pregnancy test is grain seeds...)(I ALSO FORGOT TO TAKE OFF HER NAIL POLISH FOR A HOT MINUTE IM SORRYYYY) Within a couple months of living on the farm, Lilith was overjoyed (even though she looks in tears in the photo- I swear she was happy) to find out that she was pregnant!

The move was surprisingly a lot easier than Lilith was fearing it to be (she had a really close relationship with her father, and he ended up passing a month after she moved away-) and she found to enjoy the farm life with Ruben fairly quickly. (Given she grew up a baker's daughter, though they were by no means wealthy.)

Oh. And Vlad decided to show up and feast on Ruben... Erm. It was not planned. (I swear, I tried stopping it T-T he would not leave) So he might be a tad... under the weather? (I have a mod that makes being bitten have a chance of being turned... I don't know what to do if he does turn... sigh.)

It took literally almost until the last three months for Lilith and Ruben to be able to make anything other than gruel... Lilith was pretty proud of herself (and relieved to eat something other than gruel) when they finally had the ingredients to make porridge. Of course,,, not a first choice either,,, but it was better than gruel!

UDC YR. 1308 (ROYAL EDITION)

I mostly played with the royals this year! It won't be very common that I do, but their children aged up and I thought I would check up on them.

Joan: Bea, I just don't know what to do. The entire town seems to hate me, haven't you noticed? Back home in Tartosa, I was well loved, it does not make any sense.

Beatrice: The people are different here, your grace. You know that King Edward is... Well, I mustn't say this if I want to live, if you understand what I am saying.

Joan: No, no, I understand. I just wish that they did not take it out on me. It's tireless behavior.

Jack: Mother, you will never believe it. I think I have fallen in love.

Joan: Jack... This is the third girl this week. It's Tuesday.

Jack: Well, yes, but this is the one this time. And she is actually a royal, so father would approve.

Joan: Your wife is already picked out, Jack...

Jack: Oh. Well then, I think I will fall in love with her when I meet her!

Joan: You've- You've already met her.

Edward: I've been at this for hours, good grief. Is this all of it then?

Luis: That's your first response of action, Your Majesty. There are dozens of others and there are letters from the other kingdoms wondering about which daughter the young prince is getting married to.

Edward: I still haven't done that. I already told Joan that the girl was picked out, has it not been yet?

Luis: No, Your Majesty, you never looked at the letters or the lineup of princesses yet.

Edward: I swear I will have died by the time I finished all of this. I am done for the day, Luis, tell everyone I am not here.

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.
