Can I say how much I love this? Because I do. Short-haired, purple-loving, tattooed, hot biker mama and Lucky Palms? That is, like, all of my interests.

How glad I am to be proven wrong. Someone did get it! Yay for me!  ;D

I'm glad you're enjoying this. Levana is such a fun character.  :D

You already know how much I love Levana so I won't go into that again but I do have to say that I think Baruch is ADORABLE! I am also looking forward to seeing how things play out with Amos & Lydia. He might want to take a shower though...could help move things along in the romance department. Just a thought.   ;)

A Non-Relaxing Shower (Baby #3)



As to be expected, Baruch is treated to the same level of Claw Attack as his brother was. Only 24 more to go.



Amos heads over to Lydia's house, which is conveniently right next door. It's Snowflake Day, so I have nothing better for him to do.



Unfortunately, Lydia isn't home, and Amos spends most of the day talking to her father about snow. I was also wrong about her vampirism. Lydia gets it from her dad, not her mother. Don't ask me how I didn't know that.



Levana makes the flip to her maternity clothes, and I am reminded once again that I forgot to change her sleepwear. All well. Hopefully she has a girl this time. Time to mix things up a bit.



I've never seen a toddler resist being potty trained. Baruch just squirmed around for a bit, and Levana took him off. Turns out he was sleepy, so he was put to bed.



Random horse is random.



Baruch still goes through the typical toddler training, such as walking. He's finished with everything with three more days to grow up. I think I could age him up prematurely at this point, but I don't really want to.



I'm not entirely sure why I took this screenshot in the first place, but I'm leaving it in here because Baruch's head has been taken over by the Memory pop-up. The horror!



I don't think Levana entirely understands what season it is, if she's roaming around in short sleeves surrounded by the snow.



Amos and Lydia aren't the only ones playing tag. Their dads can enjoy it, too! (Didn't remember that Oscar was Amos's dad? It's okay. They look nothing like each other)



Having just put Baruch to bed, Levana winds down by taking a relaxing shower. Her shower quickly turns entirely un-relaxing because...



The baby's coming! What is she going to do?



Drive to the hospital on her motorcycle, of course. While in labour. Nothing wrong with this logic at all.



I also learn that, even though a child can be left by themselves, if they also have a toddler in the house, a babysitter still needs to be called. Makes sense, of course. Don't usually see such well-dressed babysitters, though.



Unfortunately, I don't get the baby girl I hoped Levana would have. Still, say hello to Chayyim Esrim bin Eli! He's a cute baby, even when his face is obscured by a passing werewolf. Not sure if I'm comfortable with a wolf scampering into the hospital, but that's The Sims for you.



Eli even showed up for his son's birth. I don't think Oscar or Roy ever did that. Nice to know he at least cares a little bit. Not that Levana is going to be paying him even the slightest bit of mind, of course. He accompanies the two of them home and is promptly asked to leave. Poor Eli. He's also back together with Lina, despite sleeping with Levana right in front of her. I don't even know what to say sometimes.



Amos ages up to a teenager a few hours after Chayyim is born.



Sadly, he still looks almost exactly like Levana, minus the obvious difference in hair colour. He still looks pretty good, though. Hopefully Baruch and Chayyim look at least a little different.

Yay!  Another update!!  Must say, I think the WYD challenge is one of my favorites out of everything I've played thus far, so kudos to CSquared for that.  I'm enjoying how poor Levana is now being surrounded by males.  Exactly how it should be, given the challenge.  Whenever that first girl nooboo appears, she is in serious jeopardy of being the most spoiled Simling of all time  ;=)

Yeah, that girl nooboo probably will be. Unfortunately, she won't be here for a little while. I'm waiting a fair bit for Levana to have her fourth child. Probably not until Amos is a Young Adult.

In Memoriem



First, I don't think I spelled 'memoriem' right. Second, I'm posting twice in one day because I have a half hour to kill. Third, Levana is not very happy.



Amos invites Lydia over the day after his birthday. She aged up a few days before him, and despite a brief scare with one of the other unborns, she's still single. Amos hopes to remedy that.



Unfortunately, as a combination of teenaged moon swings and general anti-vampirism, Amos wasn't the most gracious host, (though not the least) and Lydia leaves. Oddly enough, she leaves having a great time.



Not to be dissuaded, Amos invites her back over an hour later. Lydia says yes, but never shows up. On the bright side, she calls him the next day and asks him out to prom. All in all, net gain.



Amos puts in some good old fashioned bonding time with Chayyim while waiting for Lydia. He also cleans the entire house. No Lydia, clean house. I'm not complaining.



He also squeezes in a booby trap on the toilet. Levana falls for it, but I was distracted by a particularly good episode of How I Met Your Mother and missed the screenshot. Here's a screenshot of her answering the phone in compensation.



Levana is in the middle of feeding Chayyim when she hears the bad news. Rest in Peace, Eli Vokobar-Lancaster. (He remarried Lina just days before he died) This completely trashed Levana's mood, and she can hardly do anything for the next few days.



I meant this update to be focused on Amos and Lydia's relationship, but I didn't play long enough to get them together. Instead, I present an update filled with random screenshots of Amos. Like on the toilet. Eating pancakes. While Levana really has to go.



Levana also really needs to stop getting date calls from everyone. Baruch's father Roy (who's married now) asks her out on a date, as does Clark Peddler. (who's also married, and doesn't even know Levana) Frankly, I'm surprised Eli isn't asking her out from beyond the grave.



Also, Chayyim ages up pretty much completely ignored. He gets the ugly green hair, so I need to change it.



YES! He looks different! He looks horrifically ugly, but he looks different! Success!  ;D

Chayyim's toddler pic made me jump in my seat! And that takes a truly special kind of ugly to do. I guess they can't all be stunners. It will be interesting to see how he turns out later in life.

Yeah, Chayyim isn't looking so hot right now. I think he'll look a bit better, though. He seems to have gotten most, if not all, of his genes from Eli, and he's not all that ugly. Hopefully he'll improve a bit with age.

In the dog world, I think Chayyim would be a pug.  They're not exactly cute, and they definitely push the boundaries of ugly, but there's something endearingly cute about how not-quite-ugly they are.

Love Day



Now that we have two toddlers in the house, Amos chips in with child care. Fortunately, Baruch ages up the day after Chayyim, so it doesn't last too long.



Amos also masters the art of sleeping with his eyes open. A valuable skill.



I've failed to mention in the past two updates that Chayyim is a witch, inherited from his father Eli. I haven't seen him do any witchy things, though, so I present this information through a screenshot of him learning to walk.



Prom is the same day as Baruch's birthday, so Amos dresses up and heads out. Lydia rang the doorbell, but by the time Amos got to the door, she was gone. No idea what happened, and Amos is obviously alone on the limo ride to the school.



Fortunately, Amos has a stupendously fantastic time at Prom. He and Lydia are now going out, Amos was crowned Prom King, and he didn't have a single negative experience at Prom. Very well done, Amos.



Baruch ages up while Amos is at prom. Fortunately, Baruch isn't a Levana clone, either. Those eyes are definitely Roy's, and so is his mouth. He's a pleasant blend of his parents. Roy passed away a day or two after this, right after Levana got over the Mourning moodlet for Eli. Next LTR is definitely going to be Stone-Hearted.



However, first comes first. Levana finally saved up the 65,000 points needed to get an Age Freeze potion. She is now indefinitely a Young Adult. I anticipate this being rather awkward once Amos grows older than his mother.



On Love Day, everybody gets going. Amos invites Lydia over, mostly because his Social need was oddly low. Plus it's always nice to see two teens in love together.



Levana heads over to the Sparks house to chat up Walter, mostly because I can't seem to find Darren Dreamer anywhere. Plus, I might as well go for the Occult cluster, since I've managed to get an occult nooboo inadvertently. Fingers crossed for a Fairy nooboo.



I'm not setting them up together immediately, mostly because I want to wait until we have a little more money and room to expand. Plus Walter is going out with Cricket Something-or-Other.



And Baruch does nothing romantic at all during Love Day, mostly because he's still a kid and that'd be a little weird. Plus, the only potential romantic partner on the lot is Lydia, and they're arguing about... something.



Levana and Amos have a chat, probably about how I don't really have an ending for this update.



The closest I get is Levana burning her carbonara and setting the stove on fire, but she quickly puts the fire out. Unfortunately, that's all I've got this time. I don't even have a motorcycle screenshot.

The toddlers with looks that are really out there are the ones who grow up into the coolest adults, in my experience.  I look forward to seeing what Chayyim has in store for us.

No other comments, but I'm still reading.   :)

Random horse is random.

Who doesn't love a random horse? It would seriously just make my day if one wandered by while I was going through my daily routine! Definitely would break up the monotony! ::) *brainstorming ways to get a random horse into work with me*

As for this solution to how Levana would manage to get to the hospital...?

Drive to the hospital on her motorcycle, of course. While in labour. Nothing wrong with this logic at all.

Seems legit.  ;) I think this is exactly what a purple loving, tattooed, Harley Davidson* riding mother-to-be would do! Obviously it didn't cause any problems because Baby Chayyim came through just fine! Welcome, Baby #3!

I am really enjoying this story and can't wait to see what happens next...hopefully Levana won't have to mourn too many more "Baby Daddies." Then again, with the granting of her most recent wish, she'll be losing a lot of her friends & family to old age. Stone Hearted is starting to look like a very good idea...
