Thanks Tiamet, Krae and Judewright.
Work is busier here than I was anticipating, and while I get the chance to play this dynasty, I haven't had the chance to update the story, or even load the pictures that are ready to go. Hopefully that will be happening by the end of the week (story update and picture upload).

We had some unwanted excitement towards the end of last week. Intruders entered our house last Thursday night/Friday morning while we were at home asleep. They didn't take anything or hurt any of us, sleep has been difficult since then, and I seem to be jumping at any sound. We read in the paper a day or so ago that two of the three intruders had been caught by the police and that made things a lot more pleasant for us, and here is my latest update.
Chapter 3 - The Founder Gets Guests
One morning, Ann wakes up early and heads to her private fishing spot on the Oid property. The watcher is quite surprised to hear her whistling, and even more surprised when she talks to him, without complaining.
Ann - "Good Morning Watcher, how are you today?"
Me - "Good thanks Ann, and yourself?"
Ann - "I'm quite good."
Me - "Are you still unhappy with me?"
Ann - "No, not really. I don't mind fishing all that much, really. Agnes from Sunset Valley has experience in these things, and she was telling me that a fishing hole on your own property is the best thing for an immortal who wants to supermax fishing."
Me - "That is true, but I do have a question."
Ann - "What is it, Watcher?"
Me - "Why haven't you stocked your pond yet?"
Ann - "What do you mean, stocked?"
Me - "A fellow Watcher, Saltpastillen, told me that stocking the pond with fish of various kinds, especially alley catfish, angelfish and death fish is a great way to meet the requirements of a fishing supermax and a self employed angler career. You get 10 of the fish in question, put them in the pond, and then fish away. Death fish appear in your pond 24 hours a day."
Ann - "Wonderful, thanks Watcher, I wish you had told me that before. I'm off to the Riverview Fish Hatchery to catch fish from there. I can't catch Angelfish or Death fish yet, but I can catch alley catfish, especially if I have some cheese."

Meanwhile, Jon is in the gardening area, planting various seeds.
Jon - "Watcher, I need help."
Me - "What do you mean?"
Jon - "You expect me to garden, cook, paint, do alchemy and keep up with my career in the music industry. It is too much for a single sim. I need help."
Me - "So, what do you suggest?"
Jon - "Get a husband and wife, with no children, and an interest in cooking, painting and helping in the raising of the children. Send one of them off to the culinary career. Let the other one do whatever career they want."
Me - "What do you mean, Children?"
Jon - "your previous Founders have talked to Ann. They have told her that you like a second couple and you like them to have a child."
Me - "But I'm keeping things simple this time."
Jon - "Do it, or I quit."
Me - "But you can't quit, the rules require you to remain in the household until you die of a natural death."
Jon - "Exactly, another story to the graveyard."
Me - "You wouldn't."
Jon - "Try me!"
Me - "Fine, don't get your pixels in a knot, I'll find you a couple, a couple that is married with no children, one interested in cooking. Got it, the Crosbys."
Jon - "Odin doesn't like children. Try again."
Me - "I'm sure you don't mean any of the ghosts around the town, none of them still count as married, not even the ones who were married when they lived."
Jon - "I mean Hannah and Aiden Jones, Watcher, that big house of theirs on the hill, with Hannah's dead family members. Bring them here Aiden is into gardening and so forth, and Hannah is family orientated."
Me - *Checking the forum for their traits and LTWs* - "Hannah wants to be surrounded by family which won't be happening, and Aiden wants to be a Chess Legend, which also won't be happening."
Jon - "Change their LTWs then, you changed me to 'Rock Star', after all."
Me - "They have to become friends with you and Ann, first."
Jon - "Stalk them then, that is how you had me and Ann meet up, you stalked me."
Me - "As you wish. Aha, Hannah is there."
Ann met with Hannah and the two ladies spoke about the male sims in their lives, and became friends quickly, Ann then invited Hannah and Aiden to the Oid's field and they moved in, securing more friends for Ann. Even as Hannah and Aiden were introduced to the Watcher and the Cerebralizing Brain Enhancing Machine 2.0, Ann returned to her fishing and Jon to his alchemy. Both Hannah and Aiden emerged as different sims: Aiden - loved the heat and outdoors, had a green thumb, was a natural cook and a gatherer, while Hannah loved the heat, was good, family orientated, nurturing and artistic. In time, they changed their lifetime wish - Hannah wanted to be a professional author, while Aiden wanted to be a culinary librarian. Hannah kept her job as a journalist, Aiden changed to the culinary career and Jon and Ann as well as Aiden and Hannah woke to see a new yard was built by the Watcher, a tent, an all in one bathroom and a street light all in a yard painted red and covered in heart shapes.
Me - "One pair at a time, into that tent and give us Generation 2 and spouse."
First of all Ann and Jon and then Hannah and Aiden did as their watcher commanded. It wasn't long before both ladies were nauseous from unknown causes, and Ann ate watermelons and Hannah, apples. Aiden meanwhile was taken by aliens, and on his return gained weight from an unknown cause.
Right through her pregnancy, Ann continued to fish, she had now discovered the joys of live bait in fishing, and was becoming known in the waterways around Riverview. Hannah had been given time off work for her pregnancy and she spent the time working at her writing to get a regular royalty income. Aiden waddled to the stoves and the fridge as he cooked before heading to work.
One day while Jon was at the elixir store, Ann stopped mid fishing action and indicated that the baby was coming. I sent her to the hospital and ...
You'll need to wait to the next chapter for the outcome.
