Hey all. 🙂 As we’re starting to gather more sims, I thought I’d do like I did with my baby boom challenge and start each chapter with a reminder of who we’ve got. 🙂
Frost – mom, young adult, white hair/eyes
Abyss – dad, young adult, black hair/eyes
Dijon – son, child, gold hair/black eyes
Topaz – daughter, toddler, gold hair/black eyes
Boyd – son, infant, random blond hair
Dijon went over to a friend’s house after school. I approve, so we’ll try and build that friendship into a relationship later so that he’s not thrown to the SP wolves when he ages up and moves out. LOL
Abyss played for tips at the fairground again, and actually managed some money this time around.
And he was a doting daddy when he came home.
How meta.. a ghost telling ghost stories.
Spooky day! I let Dijon trick or treat.
While baby sleeps....mom and dad flirt. LOL They’re always flirting if I haven’t got things queued up for them. At this point they both roll wishes for another baby. I like your enthusiasm guys, but we’re waiting til Boyd ages and knows some stuff.
Aww.. best big brother ever! Dijon helps Topaz finish out the Dr. Seuss-esque series of toddler books.
Today is Boyd’s birthday! Topaz’s too, but I’ve been doing some work on the upstairs and now only have the funds for one cake.
He ages up into a cutie with gold eyes.
Here’s an un-derped pic for you, as he had to go straight to bed since he was tired.
After the day’s consignment funds roll in, Topaz gets a cake too.
Shimmer sparkle..
Ta-da! She adds Loves the Outdoors to her traits.
And an un-crosseyed picture of the birthday girl.
These two are still pretty similar face-wise.
More flirting from these two.. but good news is Boyd’s awake and happy.
Frost wastes no time teaching him to potty..
..and then focuses on teaching him to walk while Abyss is off at work. Both she and Abyss are tired when he gets home, but with two toddler skills taught, they hop into the sack for some fun before crashing.
Thankfully big sister is there for the assist when Boyd gets hungry.

The big kids are knocking out some block skill. Check out those castles!
Hard to tell from this angle, but Frost’s wardrobe change lets us know baby number four is incoming. She wraps up teaching Boyd to talk (though he seems dubious about asking for a bath) and then I send her out to collect flowers at the fairgrounds for hours. Winter is fast approaching and wildflowers have been our best source of income so far. She manages to find almost 7k in flowers before heading home when it starts hailing. Should be enough for me to finish up the upstairs rooms for the kids.
With Frost busy, Abyss tries to cook. That black goo is supposed to be mac and cheese. He gives up and grabs some leftover cake.
I just love toddler faces. *wub*
I had Frost resting in the rocking chair out here when she felt a gush and stood up. She figures it looks like another step towards her big ole family wish.
Frost: “Owww.. at least there’s only one more after this.”
Ha. You’re missing a zero.
Frost: “What? I’m wishing for five.”
Well, you’re having fourteen. God speed.
And with that, we welcome baby #4.. it’s a boy!
Meet Diesel. He has his daddy’s black hair, and is both Brave and a Heavy Sleeper (which means he can beat up burglars, but will sleep through their arrival anyway. LOL)
And because I finally downloaded a pose player, here’s a picture of the family so far. Awesome poses from Poses by Bee. 🙂
Dijon: 10 point hair, 5 point eyes
Topaz: 10 point hair, 5 point eyes
Boyd: 0 point hair, 10 point eyes
Diesel: 5 point hair, ? point eyes
Story looks great! You have some nice looking sims there! Thank you for the shout out and the link, I so appreciate it. Now that you are trying poses, you will find sims have their own mind, even when you are posing them. When a pose doesn’t go completely right, (Usually the head is wrong, or the eyes), click the pose clip board again and choose “use current pose, then in the top left of your screen cancel the first black clapboard. The pose will then snap into place as designed. When you have poses with multiple sims, they get “distracted” by each other and the pose goes wrong. Although they get distracted by things in the room too and single poses won’t pose right. Have fun with it, and thank you again for choosing my poses!

Thank you so much for the tips! I knew some of these were a little off, but figured it was newbie user error. 🙂

Yay for Boyd giving you some points! Hopefully, they can get some older generations in there somewhere along the line. But the kids are adorable in the meantime. I love the idea of dressing them in their ‘generation’ colour – may just copy that idea when I get around to doing this challenge.

So far that gold gene seems to be strong. We’ll see if Diesel ends up with it too, but I’m hoping for throwback eyes instead.
