I'm not sure how much storytelling I'll be able to do, but I'd at least like to document this one as I go.
Meet the parents!
Andy Claiborne
Zenobia Claiborne
Andy and Zenobia started their new life in Oasis Springs on the Sandtrap Flat lot. Andy quickly completed his first aspiration, The Curator, and Zenobia was not far behind in completing Painter Extraordinaire. Andy used 3000 satisfaction points to get the Connections reward and went to work in the Science career for one day, just long enough to invent a Sim Ray and a Satellite dish. Zenobia purchased Marketable in order to increase the value of her paintings.
Both parents switched to the Super Parent aspiration. Although Andy tried to contact aliens, his attempt was unsuccessful. He and Zenobia successfully tried for baby and adopted Bonnie, Yardley, and Cameron. A couple of days later, the twins Xavier and Deirdre were born. They skipped the Wishing Well this round because they had quite a lot of happy moodlets stacked up and didn't want to risk becoming mortified if the Well gave them the infertile outcome.
Once the children came, it was soon apparent that their current lot would be much too small, so the Claibornes waited until after they paid their bills and then evicted their neighbor, Johnny Zest, and built a fairly large house on that lot. They think they will stay put for the rest of the Dynasty since moving house is a bit of a hassle.
The first group of kids:
Bonnie
Bonnie, like the rest of her siblings, was able to age up early after she maxed Potty training and had level three in all of the toddler skills. She chose to become a Whiz Kid and is a neat Sim. She hopes to be a vampire when she grows up.
Yardley
Yardley also chose Whiz Kid as his aspiration. He hasn't been very argumentative yet (despite having the Hot-headed trait) because he has been too busy working on his grades and aspiration. He hopes that when he becomes a teen he can start studying witchcraft.
Cameron
Cameron loves art and chose that pursuit as his aspiration. He isn't really interested in becoming any sort of creature so he will likely stay human.
Xavier
Xavier inherired his mother's skintone and Fairy genetics. He completed his Social Butterfly aspiration very quickly since he doesn't have schoolwork to worry about. He's now working on maxing two other child skills so he can grow up as soon as possible.
Deirdre
Like Cameron, Deirdre is an artist at heart. She also has no desire to be anything other than human at this time. Being the baby of the family has forced her into the background for now as her Watcher is busy with the other kids. She'll get her moment to shine soon enough.
**Note: the babies were aged up early after becoming Good Friends with both of their parents.
