I’m going to be honest – I got too wrapped up in playing and failed to blog in a timely fashion. I’m somewhere heading towards Gen 3 and still blogging the death of Gen 1. Boo on me!
So here’s what I’m going to do. I”m going to post some picture-posts to catch up a bit with the family and then I’m going to keep going like nothing happened. No story, just captions and summary. After I catch up, you’ll get story.
Gen 2: Heir was,because of the event roll that made it youngest – Brenna.
Event # 8 was to Give a Sim your least favorite job. I don’t usually give sims the Business career, so that’s the job Brenna got just before she and Vernon elope.
Event #9 was to Bulldoze the lot and rebuild. It took a while because they didn’t have a lot of money, so I held off on that one a couple of weeks. In the meantime, twins Caleb and Connor were born, and with the youngest being heir, last born Connor was hypothetically it. Little did I know…
Event # 10 was to Write Something, so I had Brenna and Vernon each write books.
The next pregnancy happened… and Cyrus becomes the new heir, after which Event #11 was Try for Baby. We tried for baby…and got pregnant with Tripets… Cordell, Collin and (last born) Cierra.
Which, you guessed it…made Cierra the new heir.
Cierra rolled for the child aspiration of Social Butterfly, with Traits of Insider, Hot-Headed and Mean. Her adult Aspiration was to be a Body Builder.
Event #12 was to go camping…
Event #13 was to Paint Something. I made everyone paint and hung the results on the wall.
I lost my notes for Events #14-15 and I’m note sure what they were. I didn’t see any relevant pictures, so they must not have been memorable.
Event #16 was to add 3 new Sims to the town,so I added 3 of my previously made Sims to the hood… and shortly thereafter, the last of Cierra’s brothersgrew up to YA. I moved them out as well.
GEN 3: Again… Cierra is Heir, as Youngest.
I have a system now, with the addition of Clubs to the game. I always create a Singles club for YAs and make the interactions be romantic and friendly, with hot tubs and stuff like that. As each Gen passes, I add perks that boost romantic interactions. It helps finding a potential mate.
There haven’t been a lot of available males, so for Cierra, I opened it up to both male and female members.
I still wanted them to have natural children, so I downloaded the WooHoo component for MC Command Center, which allows for same sex biological reproduction. Soo… all of the Gen 4 kids are biologically theirs, not adoptions.
First born was Delilah, a cute little girl who grew up looking like her mother, Meaghan.
Event #17 was to go out to eat, so I took everyone to a restaurant.
Event #18 was another Try for Baby… I seem to get that one a lot. This resulted in twins Darren and Declan.
Sometime or other, in there,Damien was born.
Event #19 changed the Heir Rules from Youngest to “Must Be Female (ongoing)” so that means, I now have a matriarchy until further notice.
This makes Delilah the new heir.
Event #20 was to sing Karaoke…
Sometime after this, the family had another pregnancy… another boy, Daniel. Both Cierra and Meaghan are pretty close to Elder, so I don’t there will be any more chances for another girl… leaving Delilah an open field as the only heir.
Her Stats Are: Genius, Evil, Unflirty, and she wants to be Leader of the Pack. It’s a good thing I play with Clubs a lot. I use them for keeping family in contact, helping the kids make friends, and finding spouses.
Before I stopped playing to test out Toddlers and Vampires, I was having a hard time finding her a soul mate. It was the Unflirty trait. It sucks. She kept getting only so far with someone and then bombing out because of her awkward flirts. I finally moved the guy she had the highest relationship with into the house and had him perform the required Romantic interactions to build their relationship up enough for LOVE to happen.
Anyway… that’s it… you’re caught up and I’m ready to play again. Yay!
Since the lat update… I’ve tested Toddlers, Vampires and started a Build Newcrest Challenge. Which I also need to blog for.
