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.
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.

We hit the Great Famine! Content Warnings ensue.
'The Great Famine of 1315–1317 was the first of a series of large-scale crises that struck Europe early in the 14th century. Most of Europe was affected. Crop failures were not the only problem; cattle disease caused sheep and cattle numbers to fall as much as 80%. The period was marked by extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, and even cannibalism and infanticide. Historians debate the toll, but it is estimated that 10–25% of the population of many cities and towns died.'
The Frost family had to say goodbye to their stock when they couldn't keep up with managing even enough food for themselves. It was hard to let go such a well working food source of eggs, but they wouldn't have gotten anything out of the chickens (or their cow) if they had kept them and let them starve.
The garden lost all of the plants, no longer bearing any harvest that Ruben had to dig them all up from the ground. Food helpings are being cut in half and the kids are becoming short tempered as a result. Lowri in particular has been extremely vocal about her distaste towards pretty much everything at any point that she can. (she got the loud child phase lol)
Philip has been getting sick way too easy ever since but is still doing his best to keep the younger ones entertained and shift their minds away from being hungry. Ben, on the other hand, has been angry and quiet, Ulla has been pushing her worries about him for a while. Ruben says that he just needs some time to himself.
If anything, Ruben has been taking this as a chance to work on new seed bags to lure animals during his hunts. They've become scarcer to find on his runs, but that hasn't let him down just yet. Ulla has been subject to his ramblings on the different pairings of seeds and scents would better attract an animal towards his trap that she has begun to follow him around during the day so she can sleep at night.
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.

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.

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. 😭
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.
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
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.
