Mole/Wirth Legacy 4/26/19

Wow, a lot has happened since the last update!  Let's start with the Wirth side.  As expected, Alec died just before baby Iris was born.  Sad, but yay for a girl finally being born into this legacy.  We haven't had one of those since the founders.  Everything was going swimmingly until a paperwork mix-up got Noah accidentally inseminated.  The Alien Embassy gave him the choice to give up the baby, but in the end he and Edith decided to keep him.  They named him Asher.  At this point in time, Noah and Edith have just become elders, Todd and Opal are still adults, and Iris and Asher are children.

On the Mole side, both Luna and Connor died within a day of one another.  Shortly after their passing Cameron and Kitty had twin boys: Brady and Brandon.  If you're counting, that's six boys in a row folks.  Their oldest son Bryan went off to college, but didn't stay long.  He met an alien woman named Jade, fell in love, and decided to drop out and get married.  The moved in with Jade's "elderly aunt" (actually she was Daniel's wife from way back when, who I never got around to playing through to death) and proceeded to adopt as many puppies and kittens as possible (Jade wants to Raise 20 Puppies/Kittens).  Back at home Cam and Kitty's second son Lee went off to college, where he met Lena.  He actually did graduate, moved into the former Aspir house (I kicked them out lol), and married Lena.  They are expecting their first child.  Shortly thereafter, Bryan and Jade had some financial troubles (i.e. Bryan's the heir, but there wasn't room for him and Jade until Lee moved out) and moved back in with Cam and Kitty.  They are causing a bit of trouble because they have no jobs, keep adopting pets, and have just announced they're expecting.  Their third son Austin is currently a Senior in college, fourth son Dylan is a teen who doesn't particularly want to go to college (Cam blames Bryan for being a bad influence), and the twins are children.

Whew!  That was a lot lol.  Until next time, Happy Simming!

Mole/Wirth Legacy 4/20/19

Since the last update the family has experienced some changes.  First Diana died suddenly from a stomach condition she'd been hiding from the family (technically she died of old age), then Dawn also died suddenly when she surprised a burglar, fell and hit her head, and was found the next morning frozen on the deck (also technically old age).  Amid all this loss, however, Cameron and Kitty welcomed a third and then a fourth son.  They're named Austin and Dylan.  Also Noah's younger brother Todd abruptly decided to marry his girlfriend.  They spontaneously eloped and returned home to surprise the family (basically I just didn't feel like a big wedding ceremony was in order so soon after Dawn's death).  Noah doesn't think his brother's marriage is going to work out.  Time will tell.  Noah and Edith also learned that they will be parents in the near future.  Neither is particularly excited about it, but they're glad Noah's dad Alec is still around to help out (pretty sure Alec will die before the kiddo is born, so we'll see how they deal with that).  That's all for now.  Happy Simming!

Mole/Wirth Legacy 4/15/19

I've decided to play my dual legacy over in Desiderata Valley.  It's based on two women descended from premade sims, one is human, the other alien.  I've written a somewhat tragic backstory for them to overcome, but at this point they are both elders with grown children and one of them has grandchildren as well.  There probably won't be a lot of updating here, as I have the full story to go off of in my game, but in the event anyone else decides to read this I'll give a brief recap of the story so far:

Sharon Wirth and John Mole were engaged and living in Desiderata Valley.  Unbeknownst to Sharon, John was in the SCIA and he agreed to become the first test subject for the aliens, whose females had all been rendered infertile due to a viral epidemic.  The aliens inseminated him, but when they discovered he was carrying twin girls, they betrayed him, thinking they could use the girls for breeders and therefore have no need to mix their race any further with humans.  They kept John in captivity until the twins were born.  John, however, fought back and was able to escape right after the first twin was born.  He hid in the woods, gave birth to the second twin, left her at Sharon's doorstep, and got as far away as he could, ultimately dying of blood loss after being found by an elderly couple.

Meanwhile in Desiderata, Sharon had learned she was pregnant right after John's disappearance.  On the night he left his daughter on her doorstep, Sharon also gave birth to a daughter.  Sharon was convinced that the alien baby was John's, so raised her as her own, naming her Luna because she found her in the moonlight.  Her own daughter was born in the wee hours of the morning and was thus called Dawn.

Sharon's family was not keen on her keeping the alien baby, but after a DNA test proved Luna was John's child, they relented and even allowed Sharon and the babies to move in with them.  Sadly Sharon died in a kitchen fire shortly after the girls' toddler birthday, leaving her sister Hannah and her husband Isaac as their guardians.  Hannah and Isaac's son Daniel was quite a bit older than the girls, so he left for college by the time they were children and didn't visit much even after he graduated.

Hannah became depressed after the loss of her sister, her only son moving out, and the steady decline of her marriage.  She eventually committed suicide.  Isaac began drinking after that and wasn't much of a guardian to Dawn and Luna.  They were left to their own devices a lot.  When they were teens, Isaac decided to check himself into a rehab facility and called on his son Daniel to move back home and watch over the girls.  Isaac died in a car crash on the way to rehab and Daniel became their permanent guardian.

Daniel had never particularly liked his cousins, especially Luna, and so he avoided them as much as possible.  Once they left for Uni, he deeded the house to them and moved away.  During Uni both girls met their future husbands and upon returning home Luna married Conner and Dawn married Alec.  Eventually Luna had a son, Cameron, and Dawn had two sons: Noah and Todd.

At some point, Luna's twin Diana, who had been with the alien civilization this whole time, showed up and filled them in on exactly what had happened to their father and how she found out about it.  They learned that their cousin Daniel had been abducted against his will, despite the agreement between the Sim Nation and the Alien Nation that men would only be inseminated on a voluntary basis, and there he'd met Diana.  Once they realized their family connection, they worked together to piece together the whole story and then use it to force the aliens to release both of them (without impregnating Daniel).  As it turned out, the aliens had in fact tried to use Diana as a breeder, but she had never successfully carried a baby to term, making her useless to them.  They agreed to set both of them free in exchange for their silence about all their misdeeds.  Daniel returned home and continued to have no contact with his cousins.

Diana had nowhere to go, so her sisters invited her to stay and join their ever expanding family.  The house was full to bursting at this point, so when Cam finished college and prepared to marry his college sweetheart, he purchased a large house across the street and asked his parents and Aunt Diana to move there with him.  Though they were sad to separate, the sisters all agreed it was for the best.  Since Cameron had his heart set on a large family, he and his new bride Kitty began trying for a baby right away.  As of now, they have two sons, Bryan and Lee, and a third baby on the way.

Dawn's sons are a bit younger than Cam.  Noah went to college, returned home with a fiancĂ©e (Edith) in tow, got a job in the Medical field (same as Cam coincidentally), and has just gotten married this round.  Todd opted out of college for a career in Music and is dating, but hasn't yet decided to settle down.  Dawn is very anxious for grandchildren, but so far no dice.

Lol, I guess that wasn't exactly the short recap I'd planned.  Oh well.  Until next time, Happy Simming!

American History Challenge 4/12/19

Finally all of the third pregnancies have been delivered and we wound up with an unprecedented FOUR sets of twins!!!  I wasn't even sure I'd get 2 sets this round and then there were 4, unbelievable.  We are now in year 1410, which is where I will leave my little tribes for now.  I'm still working out the kinks in the rule set for tribal society, however, and will continue that when I come back to them.  I'm wondering if maybe I should take this opportunity to rewrite history and make things the way they should have been (according to me of course, lol), rather than simply trying to play through history as it actually went down (as far as we know).  Things to ponder.  I still have a ways to go before any settlers show up, so I'll have plenty of time to decide.  Next time, I'll need to start working on the ceremonial lots and figure out the best way for the children to start meeting one another so we can start planning future marriages.  Not sure which 'hood will be up next.  Happy Simming!
