Caspian No Story DecaDynasty

[Deklitch]

Wow, you're flying through this, Krae, well done. Just a comment, you only seem to have 9 names next to the ten best friends requirements, you may need to check your records again.

[KRae]

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I've edited it to include Tisha Tompkins, his future wife. She was on my hand written list, but I missed her of all people. She's a witch, by the way. I think not writing a story really helps the speed.

[KRae]

Pierce Caspian moved to 300 Riverblossom Hills Drive, a beautiful vista home, with his new wife, Tisha Tompkins Caspian. Our heir, Chelan, was born on day 4 after the move along with her twin sister, Xena, both witches. I rearranged my plans to aim Chelan at a handiness supermax to take best advantage of her witchiness. Both honor rolls were easily met. Gotta love the instant teen witch homework completion despite the occasional scorching.

I place a rocking chair near the graves to cut down on dropped morning action queues due to disgusting best friend ghosts.

The Garage 'O Fun    that she didn't get to use, although I did send her to parties at her sister's and she always was there alone in a hottub.

[PeregrineTook]

Loved the clever trick with the rocking chair.  They're like some sort of crazy ghost trap!

[KRae]

And the trap is full again.

Chelan Caspian married Dexter Olivares and moved to his home at 223 Cotton Branch Drive. For those familiar with Riverview, it's that divided house that you need to walk outside to get from one side to the other. I've been making very limited changes to the houses, mostly expanding some rooms and changing beds, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. This is what I did to the downstairs here.



I got rid of a kitchen, combined bathrooms, tore down the dividing wall, and installed a single staircase. I left the furniture and décor pretty much alone. I wanted to retained the split personality feel. Upstairs I just tore down the dividing wall and changed fixtures.

For once the heir had several age appropriate candidates to choose from. Dexter was selected as my game placed the elixir shop right next door. He turned out to be a great choice: genius, ambitious, artistic, family oriented, charismatic and just a great guy. I kept him alive until the next heir moved out.

On day 4 after the move our heir, Skagit, was born along with her brother, Will.

[KRae]

Yep, one day they're there changing you channels, the next they're a teeny tiny tombstone.

[KRae]

Skagit Caspian married Louis Cheek mostly because he was age appropriate, available, and had pretty red hair. Oh, and his big house at 1 Remington Point didn't hurt either. Unfortunately, due to odd bugs and loading times, it was time to move town. Look out Sunset Valley! They settled in at 15 Maywood Lane and had a baby girl, Whatcom, on the 5th day. Four days later her sister, Yma, was born.

The Basement Art Gallery where no one ever goes

[PeregrineTook]

It's a pity Whatcom didn't inherit the pretty red hair.  "The Basement Art Gallery where no one ever goes" sounds like it should be something out of the Lemony Snickett books.

[MarianT]

Great progress, KRae!

And you forgot that the basement is where people to go to hide from their in-laws. They'll have some great paintings to look at!

[Malley]

Good progress so far! I had a similar problem with my dynasty where tremendous lag and errors caused me to have to move towns. Kudos to you for sticking with it

[KRae]

Although I haven't posted heir 7 yet, I'm actually working on heir 8 and have had tremendous trouble with Sunset Valley as I explained in the main DecaDynasty thread. No sims were moving in and homeless townies were filling all the rabbit hole jobs. I did a factory reset and families have started to move in again, but I think well do a final move to Twinbrook when heir eight finishes his requirements. He got one of the two teenage girls in town (other than cousins) as a romantic interest at prom. His sister got the other. There are no teen boys at all. Not even NPCs. I'll post gen 7 later this week.

[KRae]

Whatcom married her long time best friend, older man Ethan Bunch, and moved to his home across the street at 16 Maywood Lane. On day 4 after the move, Heir 7, Spokane Caspian, was born along with her twin brother, Ty.

[MarianT]

Wow, Generation 7 already! I was going to say I'm surprised Ethan Bunch was still alive, but then I remembered you started in Riverview.
