Remus definitely has gorgeous eyes. I love him!
His eyes are just killer. From what I can tell he's going to be a very attractive Sim.
You always design such wonderful founders! Mina is gorgeous. I love her angular jawline and the soft, seductive setting of her eyes. It's going to be interesting to note which feature is most commonly expressed in her children.
Also, I didn't know that two occult Sims could produce a human offspring! Perhaps this is the case with little Remus because one parent was initially human? Either way, good luck infusing the muted Aurora Skies with vibrant, half-Yakshi babes!

I love CAS and mixing genes a lot! So this challenge is great for chilling out after work, etc. Mina isn't actually an occult sim. She is just a human on the rainbow slider. So Remus inherited her human-ness and his daddy's skin tone. Ah well, at least he's a looker!
Mina is beautiful! I'm really enjoying your story. There's a genuineness to Mina that is enjoyable. She might be fathering 26 children (well, 27 at least now) from 26 fathers, but it still doesn't seem factious in anyway. I like that, and I like your manner of writing.
Thanks so much! I feel genuinely fond of her.

At long last, it was time for Remus to age up to a child!
I am hoping as I get further along in this challenge that it'll be easier to leave them as babies for longer. But right now, it's skills and up they go. Remus is going to be a little heartbreaker.
His sisters put on quite the enthusiastic show for his sparkles.
And while they sat down for cake, I made the call that we were ready for our flight. The kids had no idea where we were even going until we pulled into the airport parking lot!
Al Simhara seems to be a city of love. No matter which alley you turn down, you'll catch locals in embrace.
Even at the base camp, these two gentlemen seemed to have become rather fond of each other.
We have all taken different routes of maximizing our experience. Dana, ever the curious genius, is exploring the tombs.
Fox has decided to really power up her magic so that she may upgrade our appliances before she ages up.
Remus is either with his toy Rommie (who has shown no sign of becoming real as yet) ...
... or obeying the whims of this charming little local. Her name is Menet. Remus insists we have her visit when he is a teen.
Dana, for her part, has given me the scoop on anyone who she's met through the adventure boards. However, I didn't have chemistry with any of her picks.
Which isn't to say her networking was for nothing.
I met Hassaan quite by chance. I was buying a mummified teddy bear for my eventual half-Egyptian child and he helped me pick it out. We talked until the sun went down.
He was immediately on my shortlist, but having the same astrological sign as Jessie was a shortcoming. Also, I had no shortage of admirers. (Watcher's Note: Leave Mina standing in one place for too long and her entire queue will fill with "listen" interactions from everyone in the area).
Hassaan, though. He stood out.
I decided then and there that I wouldn't be able to really feel satisfied with anyone else. So we spent one, magical evening in the oasis of Camp Moon.
Hassaan was gone when I woke, but I felt wonderful. I had heard chimes and the weather was so calm and balmy. I sat and sketched for the whole of the morning.
In all honesty, it was difficult to fly back to Aurora Skies. Though there is always one thing I can't stand being away from.
River just became an elder, but she has a good amount of LTH points. I'm hoping that we can douse her with some young again as soon as she gets dangerously old. For now, she's still a spry lady, supplementing the family with valuable gems and metals. And sometimes ... other things.
The full moon hit on our first night back. Lunacy hit poor Fox again and she kept running around in her winter coat screaming about her age being wonky. Unfortunately, I checked, and somehow she is now five days younger than Dana. But, to me, it's just a longer time with my precious baby before she leaves me.
In any sense, the lunacy makes her want to do crazy amounts of magic, so we got a lot of converted apples and updated appliances out of the episode.
The next morning, everything was back to normal again.
I do a lot of painting to pass the time in my pregnancy, but as I grew bigger, the strain became too much, so I took to reading instead by our newly flame-proof fireplace.
Labor hit me just as I was sitting down for one of Dana's famous tofu dogs. Poor Dana couldn't even gather herself enough to make any audible sounds.
By the time the baby finally arrived, all three of my children were bored of labor panic and had left me to my devices. So, right in the kitchen, I welcomed Isis into the world. She is friendly and loves the heat.
And she's green like the oasis at Camp Moon.
