Content Warning; Child Death

Minna had twin baby girls. Luckily, the birth went by with little error and both are alive. We've got little Selma and Zelda Wendlen in the family. There is worry with Selma though because of the fact her head is scarily small compared to her body.

Despite just birthing twins, Minna has found time to herself to return back to the easel in the barns and started painting after long months of not being able to. This piece is still undone, but the more she does, it is beginning to look like she is making a self-portrait. (Which I thought was so cute when I saw the hair color)

Rolf hasn't gotten the bathroom when its free, so he took it upon himself to just shower out in the rain and the pond. Just be glad he went into the more secluded part of their lot to do so, but he's definitely clean for once!

Sadly, baby Selma did not make it. Her head was too small and over the night, Minna found her un-waking. She looked just like her mother, and I think that scared Rolf off because he has been avoiding the house a bit now. Luckily, Zelda is still healthy, she is too little to understand where her sister is, but she definitely knows that she isn't around.

On a foraging expedition, Rolf came across a little foal. He doesn't know why the little horse followed him home, they seem to both have a mutual hatred towards each other. (Seriously, why does every animal hate poor Rolf) Rolf was going to send the girl away and force her back to the wild, but then Minna had seen her, and Minna was not going to let Rolf do that.

Minna was able to convince Rolf to house the foal until she could fully live by herself given the poor foal seems to have an injured back leg. Minna made Rolf promise, and Rolf has a problem of not being able to say no to his wife. While he attempts to work on the foal's leg, the girl kicks him away every time, so it is a bit of a task.

At least the girl seems to like Adelbert, Rolf would have said "absolutely not" if the horse even looked like she might kick at his child. The foal seems to understand enough that Adelbert is three years old only and keeps her distance unless he approaches her.

UDC YR. 1308

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.

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!

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.

UDC update

So! My save file got corrupted! I am so... so happy can't you tell? Anyways, this means I have to start over... I got up to 1317, so for the sake of my own sanity, we are starting at 1318, right after the great famine. So, let's meet the new "cast"

I gave them the biggest lot in chestnut ridge and brother... it took too long to build everything, i don't even know if it was worth it or now gah. (i didn't take pics of the actual house cause... it's meant to look like shit. and we don't need to see that)

So, yeah! That's the beautiful lot. that took way too long. Anyways! Story wise! Minna is already pregnant! (for my own sanity, shut uppp)

Honestly, they've just been doing a lot of hard labour. Nothing too fancy, and I've named their animals after Greek Gods which is always fun! (was totally listening to Epic while building and it kept me somewhat sane)

family portrait~ fun fact, I forgot to put down a chair and then got lazy and didn't put one, so Rolf is in fact doing a wall sit in the air, rip his thighs.

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

von Dough 1.6

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.

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. 1319

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.
