I think Darya is my favorite of the triplets as well.  Dorri's cute, but her features make her come across as just a bit harsh, and Delia looks sleepy.  It's adorable, but sleepy.  Congrats on continued fantastic progress.  I love how quickly the bottomless nectar cellar LTW can happen with a wealthy family that plans ahead  :=)

So in love with this family! Echo is my favourite!

Great to see Stiles entering into the empire! I had him in my original decadynasty, where he married Jamie Jolina  :D

@PeregrineTook , Planning ahead is what I do best. I like that those expensive bottles of nectar count towards the career as well.

@Magpie2012 , I really like Echo too. It's been nice having a self-employed sim for a change.

@Malley, I like that everyone has favorites from Sunset Valley. I hope to get Jamie involved eventually.

@CeresIn , Echo is lovely. This family is all so nice. Looking at Isla's friendship panel, she is still best friends with all her children, grandchildren, and in-laws except Gobias who she still dislikes.

Echo and Stiles became engaged in the most romantic spot in town. Swept away by the moment, they were immediately wed. I stopped the bride from dumpster diving by sending them home.


Despite the ringing phone, they successfully tried for baby.


Echo: I want to have a girl.
Maybe, maybe not.
Echo: I want to drink nectar.
No.


Three family members in the basement at once, and only one was coerced!


This batch of nectar sent Echo over the top. She is now a Vizard of Vine and has completed all her requirements.


The newest member of the family was taken immediately to a birthday cake.


Here is Evan, Friendly and Hates the Outdoors. Hey, he looks like his daddy!


Stiles: Mommy was going to do this, but she’s busy losing her breadfast.


Isla: No, Grim is not coming for Mommy. The sounds from the bathroom just make it seem that way.


Evan quickly learned his toddler skills and had his next birthday adding Never Nude to the mix.


Echo: We’re having another baby!
Stiles: *thumbs up*


Stiles: I got a promotion!
Echo: *thumbs up* I hope you can tell by the look on my face that these are not equivalent.


Darlene Bunch came over after school.
Darlene, please recommend our birthday service to your siblings.


Darlene stayed until after 4am.


We’ll leave with this heartwarming photo.
Stiles: Cut the racket! I’m trying to sleep here!

The Grim reference with the sounds coming from the bathroom.  Oh my goodness!  So funny!

@CeresIn , It may not look like it, but Echo and Stiles do have a really loving relationship, those parts aren't funny though.

@PeregrineTook , She was sick pretty much for 24 hours straight.

Everyone was tired, so little Eden waited until morning to blow out her candles. Her traits are Virtuoso and Clumsy.


Eden didn’t pose for any skilling photos, instead we have pictures with her brother.


Don’t get your hair tangled up.


She did learn her skills, however. Eden is now excitable…


…and one heck of a horsewoman.


This is probably the most social family I’ve ever had. Maybe because they don’t have a television.


I didn’t push Evan to get on the honor roll. The family would have to wait for Eden anyway. He made it after 4 days of school anyway.
Go get a job at the cemetery, then we’ll fix this.


Okay, looking like a middle-aged 16 year old. It suits you. So Evans traits are Friendly, Hates the Outdoors, Never Nude, and Brave.


Evan ran off for his first night’s work. Those bare feet must be comfortable in the mausoleum.
Evan: Must get indoors.


Echo went to empty the nectar machines and was soon joined by the entire family. It’s like they can’t stand to be away from each other.


Isla: Out youngest grandchild will be a teen tomorrow. Does that give you any ideas?
Flip: I’ve been wishing to have 10 children forever.


Number 6 was soon on the way.
Isla: Must you do this every time?
It hasn’t been every time, but only because I forgot.


Eden became a teen that day after school. I didn’t even know that was allowed as everyday wear. Head off to the bookstore and get a job, then we’ll switch that to your formal wear and casual you up a bit.


Eden’s traits are now Virtuoso, Clumsy, Excitable, and Commitment Issues.


Loving your work clothes, Eden.


The latest Khan-Doe joined the family with very little fuss. Welcome little Foxtrot.

Wow, Eden and Evan both turned out to be quite lovely.  Moreso Eden, but I think that's just because Evan is trying to fit a whole lot of adult into his teen face  ;=)

@PeregrineTook , I like that Evan and Eden don't look like any of the other grandkids. When I see the rest around town I have to check to see who they are.

Foxtrot became a cute little toddler with the traits Heavy Sleeper and Loves the Outdoors.


Yes, Isla, feed her in front of the fuming potty. Now stomp your foot because to can’t empty it.


The house has been slightly remodeled, mostly just the great room has been expanded and given nicer windows, fireplace, and front door. Everything is still on one level – no stranded toddlers for me.


The fireplace has a comfy hearth.


Foxtrot learned her skills quickly and was allowed to eat a piece of her cake this time. She added the trait Lucky.


Because Eden needed one more school day to reach the honor roll, Stiles was able to reach level ten of the symphonic career that weekend. Thanks for the new stereo and the tutoring, Stiles.


Soon Echo was ready to move with her little family. For some reason the Altos had moved to a smaller house leaving their mansion available.


With the departure of the fifth child, a recap seems appropriate.

Alpha: LTW – The Perfect Garden, Supermax - Gardening, Career – Gardener,  Property – Alpha’s Green Grocer

Bravo: LTW – Swimming in Cash, Supermax – Handiness, Career - Firefighter, Property – Bravo’s Fixers

Charlie: LTW – Culinary Librarian, Supermax – Cooking, Career – Culinary, Property – Charlie’s Diner

Delta: LTW – Rock Star, Supermax – Guitar, Career – Music Rock Branch, Property – Delta’s Community Theatre

Echo: LTW – Bottomless Nectar Cellar, Supermax – Nectar Making, Career – Nectar Maker, Property – Echo’s Nectar Bistro

You're doing a great job!
Just out of curiosity, does Isla spend every moment that you don't plan for her playing in the waterslide?  It seems like she is in her swimwear in every shot.

@PeregrineTook , I not using Generations so no waterslides, but Isla and Flip both have a sprinkler addiction. Then again they're always happy.

The day after Echo and crew moved out, Foxtrot hit the honor roll and had her teen birthday. Hmm…where did the curls come from?


That’s more like it. Foxtrot added Irresistible to her traits.


She went to the cemetery to get a job. She got so involved in reading Game of Thorns that she had to sneak home after curfew.


Isla gets stir crazy from time to time and heads over to the park. It’s a good place to catch up with family. She chatted with Delia and Alpha, who is always stinky. Madison joined in later. That’s Abel in the background, once again (or perhaps still) fried.


Isla also sings karaoke. No, Nick Alto, she’s not great, but getting on the stage to boo just isn’t polite.


Since Isla is a level 10 gardener and at level 7 in fishing and handiness, she decided a career in science could be a long term cure for her boredom. So heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off….you know the rest.


Flip was bored with his business career as well so he quit and sign up to be an educator. Logic is new and exciting.


It’s once again time to drag out a birthday cake. It’s the revenge of the curls!


Looking pretty much the same, Foxtrot’s traits are now Heavy Sleeper, Loves the Outdoors, Lucky, Irresistible, and Athletic. She wants to be a Master Acrobat. Dust off your workout clothes, girl, and grab some liquid job booster. It’s time to get cracking.

45 kids?!  You're brave - Who's Your Daddy? was bad enough.

Are you playing with just the normal Sunset Valley school?  It's going to get pretty crowded later on, with all of those eternal teenagers.  Good luck!

(Also, I'm really hoping for a male Juliet  :P)

The Who's Your Daddy? project was actually one of my favorites to play through.  Perhaps that's part of why I love this story so much  :=)
Foxtrot has in interestingly bored/indifferent facial expression.  She's like, "Yeah, I'm irresistible.  What about it?"  Just kind of cracks me up.
