This is Alex Robins, Werewolf, and Founder.

He rolled the following traits:  Family-Oriented, Hydrophobic, Light Sleeper, Mean-Spirited, Never Nude
The LTW he picked out of the five that popped up?  Surrounded by Family.  So we're doomed to have a bunch of Alex-spawn running around Moonlight Falls.  Wonderful.

After moving onto the empty lot across from both consignment stores, he got a job as a Decoy.  One of his co-workers is Daydream Ivy, who I'm particularly fond of, and they spend quite a bit of time hunting together.

However, he already has his eye on a certain someone...

Meet Violet Slymer, who lives nearby with her Werewolf and Vampire roommates.  Luckily, she's open to moving into the house with Alex, which is... actually a house now that she added to the family funds.

Since Alex is a Werewolf, and pretty good at hunting by now, he managed to buy a gem-cutting machine to help boost prices on the gems.  He's quite fond of it, Violet, not so much.

(Yes, he did go on a 3-day trip to China.  I'm too scared to take pictures while on vacation.)
But, she is a fan of the fangs.

[RainBeau]

Yay! Welcome to the fraternity of Life States Dynasty writers! Good start!

[fanofaband]

Thanks!  It's been a lot easier than my other Dynasty's so far, considering the longer lives.

----------------

Alex became an Adult sooner than I thought.

Though soon after this, he finished all of his requirements.  Sorry for the lack of pictures for Alex, but we'll see much more of him later on.  He's my athlete and alchemist, so no matter what happens, I'll be prepared!

At least they didn't need too much convincing to bring in the next generation!  Hopefully.


Nooboo!  Violet's excited, even though it doesn't seem like it at the moment.  She's been learning Logic so she can tutor our heir and create a nice stash of Young Again potions for our heroes.

Nooboos also mean an upgraded house, with plenty of room, at least for now.

It's a good thing Alex brings in so much money from hunting and from his job.  Seriously, before he finally quits, he gets to at least $1500 a shift.

He's such a good husband.  He does all of his husbandly duties, he gives Violet backrubs, sends her on expensive trips to the Spa, and reads pregnancy books all without any prompting from Violet.

She's come a long way from her Alchemy accident, huh?  Alex also does his husbandly duties by freaking out when she goes into labor.


After we get Alex wrangled back to... whatever he was doing before he started freaking out, Violet gives birth to three adorable nooboos.

Mary, who's a Neurotic Light-Sleeper...

...Horace, the Evil Virtuoso...

...and of course, Avery, a Couch Potato who Loves the Outdoors.  I should also add that both Mary and Horace are normal Sims, while Avery is a ghost-werewolf.  But!  He still counts as the heir!  As for Horace's blue color?  All Moonlight Falls pre-made ghosts are blue, which makes me chuckle.

Not wanting to stop just yet, Alex and Violet set themselves up for countless sleepless nights.  How, you might ask?


By working on Alex's Surrounded by Family LTW.  How lovely...

[Margerita]

Nice start!

Nice to see another player who is also at their 5th life state!

[fanofaband]

Thank you!

--------------


I'd say Alex is pretty proud of himself right now.  He has three nooboos, and more on the way.

Time soon came for the triplets to grow up!

Mary was first...

...then Horace...

...and finally Avery, our heir!  I didn't take a picture of him at the wardrobe, since they do strange things to ghosts.  I'll tell you this much though, he's not blue, which made me sad.


Avery was already best friends with both Alex and Violet, so he started on his toys while his brother and sister were taught how to talk.  He played with both the peg box and the xylophone until he maxed them both, and then was taught all of his skills just in case.  I've noticed I get better random trait rolls that way, though I could just be imagining things.

Of course, it had to come to an end, as Violet finally gave birth again.

Anna, who's a Brave, Excitable, normal Sim...

...Bruce, an Excitable and Easily Impressed Werewolf...

...and Janice, a Heavy-Sleeper Virtuoso Were-Ghost.


Nothing like a little father/son bonding time!  Of course the token toddler howling shot, and Avery's just adorable with his little ghostly body, don't you think?


A couple more expansions were added to the house, I'm not much of a builder, so... yeah... it's kind of lame.

Next up, birthday!

[RainBeau]

I agree, he is adorable! Cool that he can bond with Mummy over being a ghost and Daddy over wolfy things.

[RavenKay]

Wereboos! We all love the wereboos.
Thats why some of us marry  the Wolff's and Browns. We love the toddler werewolf animations.
Your founder is very handsome and a town full of his spawn doesn't seem like a bad thing.
After the second generation most of the original residents have died out anyway. EA didn't think too far ahead there.
I will be looking forward to the next chapters. 

[fanofaband]

Thanks!  I've always been quite proud of him at least.  Aha, now that's a thought, I didn't think about trying to marry several generations into the Supernatural Friends household.  But, I will say, generation 4 marries an original townie, and there are still TONS left to choose from.  Including ghosts.

-----------------------

After the triplets had learned everything they were going to, birthday cakes were bought, and they got older!

First up, Avery.

Who rolled Eccentric.  I can work with that.

Then went Mary.

Who rolled Friendly.

And finally, Horace.

Who rolled Athletic.

We still have to worry about those pesky child requirements though.  Violet takes her son under her wing.  Arm?  Er... ectoplasm...  Whatever, anyway.  She starts tutoring him as soon as she finishes registering him for scouting at the school.

Needless to say, Avery is... less than thrilled, though he gets more so when she promises to get him that inventing table he's always wanted.


Since Avery is the heir, Mary and Horace begin their aging process so they can leave the house.  There's only so much madness I can handle at once with this house.  Mary goes first.

Going from child,

to teen,

to young adult, gaining the Cat Person and Good traits.  This means Mary is a Good Friendly Neurotic Light-Sleeper who's a Cat Person.  Her LTW choice was The Cat Herder.

Horace was next.

From child,

to teen,

to young adult, getting Genius and Loves the Outdoors as he ages.  Horace is now an Evil Genius Athletic Virtuoso who Loves the Outdoors.  His LTW is Hit Movie Composer.  Horace and Mary move out together, leaving space in the house for more madness, whenever it might happen.


Avery doesn't care too much, he has his doll.

[RainBeau]

I forgot to crack up at Horace's initial traits. An Evil Virtuoso! That is just too fun.

[fanofaband]

Haha yeah, it's always fun, if only for their expressions.  For some reason, whenever I roll for traits, I seem to get those paired up a lot.

-----------------

While Avery works on his requirements and his inventing, the other triplets start to age as well.  Anna was first.

Then the werewolves aged up and showed their cuteness.

Janice

Bruce.  I love that all the werewolves howl if one howls.  It made for quite a house during the full moons while everyone was there.

But, since they aren't the heirs, I ended up aging them quickly as I could as well.  There's... a lot of that in this post.  Anyway, Anna's transformations...

Child

Teen

Young Adult.  Honestly, I think she's the best-looking one of all six kids.  She's now an Excitable, Brave, Insane, Genius, Born Saleswoman, with the LTW of Firefighter Superhero.  Could have been worse, right?

Bruce is next, being the wolfy he is.

Child

Teen

Young Adult.  Violet's nose is a curse, I swear.  Bruce is now an Excitable, Easily Impressed, Evil, Family-Oriented, Born Salesman, who's LTW is Surrounded by Family.  Aha... trust me, Evil pops up quite a bit with this family for some reason.

Lastly, Janice, the other were-ghost.

Child

Teen

Young Adult.  She doesn't look terrible, but she still has her mother's nose.  Why Violet?  WHY?  Anyway, she's a Workaholic, Virtuoso, Genius, Heavy Sleeper, who's a Slob, with World Renowned Surgeon as a LTW.

Of course, they all move out, and the chaos is finally fixed.  *wipes brow*  Went from 8 to 3 sims in a few days, feel a lot better now.

Putting our focus BACK to our heir, Avery ages up by his invention table.


Into a rather good-looking teen, am I right?

He finds a romantic interest rather quickly, being who he is.

This is Brittany Bertiger, who happens to be a witch.

They share their first kiss...

But someone else is on his mind, and the fling is over.

Who might it be?

Hmm....

----------------
By the way, apparently Avery IS blue.  I checked.  I'm dumb.

[RainBeau]

He is a handsome blue boy! And who is this fairy lady I presume has captured his heart?

[fanofaband]

Gen 6 is about to be born in game, so... I have a looooot of catching up to do here *grin*

--------------------------

Mean-Spirited Alex still loves his wife.

I think I'm in love with gold ghosts after this Dynasty, and I'm not a big fan of gold or anything yellow.


Avery finishes up his last promotion at the graveyard, and ages up after he gets home.

Then graduates at the consignment store while working on a few of his skill challenges.

Now, the question is, who is the fairy he seems to have fallen for?

Sophie Rodgers almost immediately moves in, and Avery's popping wishes for her left and right.  She wants to be a Fashion Phenomenon, which makes me wince, but whatever, it's something else to do.

Avery is a self-employed Inventor, and he works as hard as he can on promotions and skill challenges.  We ended up setting 100+ cheap chairs in the yard for him to blow up.  He's also working on the Consignment challenges since Inventing only has 5 skill challenges.


At this point, Sophie is an Adult, but since fairies have a rediculously long life, none of us are worried.

Avery, however, is a little impatient.


Of course, they can't have kids of their own yet, but that doesn't stop Avery from reproducing on his own.

In the form of SimBots.  His LTW is Monster Maker, and since his father is a werewolf, they have all the supplies they need.  His three children are Jeremiah, Tonya, and Michelle, and all are immediately released into the wild, as per orders.

While Avery finishes up his requirements to have children with his Sophie, his mother becomes an Elder.


This challenge is actually going pretty quickly for me, though the 5k wishes are the ones that seem to take the longest.  Anyway, Avery finally finishes up his requirements...

...and does his best to bring in the next generation.

I'd say it was a success.

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

Hurray for the most-likely gorgeous fairyboos!

I love Sophie. I almost nabbed her as a dynasty wife just because she's absurdly pretty.

[geekchic]

Ooh, she'd make a good match for my wereboo, Logan...
