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)
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))
Elise and Levi Weldon everybody <3
they are so in love, i’ve never gotten this moodlet and have no idea if it is from a mod or what- but he’s so in love
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!
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
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.
Philip is thirteen! He is getting super close to the eligible marriage age (15) for the 1300s, that is crazy. I made him shorter for my own sake, but he will slowly be aging up even while a "teen" in sims.
New spousal portrait for the Frost family because I kept forgetting to make it, what's new. They've been spending a lot of time together through winter without actually having much to do and have come to the conclusion that they don't actually have a lot in common (game please) so uhhhh. we love arranged marriages, I guess?
Lowri has become a very sociable girl and even made friends with the daughter of the Orellano's who lives down the street. Their cow, Belle, has been warming up to her as she started to come out and talk to her every morning while her mother would milk Belle.
We have a new family portrait with the kids now that they are older, and honestly, should've waited till now to make it instead smh, but here we are! From left to right: Erilyn (4), Philip (13), Eyra (4), Lowri (7), and Ben (9). Next year is going to be the first crisis to impact my game and I'm so nervous, no food sources for three years,,, yikes.
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.
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 😭) He is very curious about everything, and is in his "what's that?" phase much to Lilith's dismay.
