I'm going to back up hazelnut here and suggest that one of the kids should be named Yogurt.
I like the choice of Lisa Bunch for Golf.  They're cute together.  Of course, I still have no idea how the Bunch parents managed to produce the kids they had.  Apparently genetics hadn't been invented yet at that point   ;=)

Yoghetta for the win!
I think it might have been mutation that produced Arlo's particular charm lol genetics could not be that cruel!

@Deklitch , Lisa has added a Bunch of cuteness. Jack, Ethan, and Darlene have all disappeared from the town along with Morgana Wolff and Bella Bachelor. I need to age up Arlo and get those genetics into the mix. I'd like to see how he mixes with the K-Does.

@hazelnut , We'll only get up to the letter O for this empire so no Yoyo unfortunately.

@PeregrineTook , Judy is a scientist. I'll assume that had something to do with the strange genetics or lack thereof.

@Malley, Golf is handsome. He chose that hair all by himself.

@Magpie2012 , As a child, I think Arlo is kind of cute, if I squint.

Lisa moved in the next day, and she and Golf were soon engaged. Lisa’s lifetime wish was to be Living in the Lap of Luxury. Done.


She’s also a virtuoso and wanted to buy a guitar. Strum away, Lisa, it makes everyone happy.


Lisa somehow managed to have 4 skill points in gardening and wanted to be a professional gardener. I was about to get rid of the money trees as they’re getting a bit tedious, but Lisa has taken over tending them for now.


Lisa: Sunlight! Happiness! Arrrgh!
Golf: What have I gotten myself into?


Well, you’re committed now, Golf.
Golf has supermaxed Charisma, completed his lifetime wish, purchased Golf’s Friendship Park (because in sims’ alternate reality City Hall is not for sale), and is at level 5 in his career. It’s nooboo time.


Since I am party averse, Golf went to his park to ask for campaign donations.
Golf: You know that it would be quicker to just throw a party…never mind, he gave me $12,000.


Bravo: I’m a firefighter. See? I’m dressed like a Firefighter.
Golf: I’m a politician and these are my current required work clothes.
Bravo: Perhaps try asking women other than your sister for campaign donations then. Oh, here’s $6,428 anyway.


Late that night a tiny girl joined the Khan-Doe family.


Even later that night, Golf and Lisa began working on her sibling.


Meet little Greta, Friendly and Artistic.


There was no real rush for Greta’s skill learning as moving won’t be possible until her sibling catches up. None the less, the Potty-Trainer in Chief went to work. Because math.




Golf has been working hard from home and will be at level 7 next time he goes to work. He and Lisa both have 10,000 points in getting married type wishes pending. After the next promotion, he’ll be able to afford a couple of days off.
Mostly this is just a picture of the family redheads, though.



We’ll leave Lisa to strum her daughter into a deep, floorboo slumber.

Thanks, @Magpie2012 , see below for a Bunch more.

The skilling continued.
Lisa: No matter how smart we get, we can never learn chemistry.
Greta: Then why are we discussing it?


With her toddler tasks completed, Greta had her birthday and developed a Good Sense of Humor.


She requested an easel, but why get one when two is better?


Perhaps you noticed that Lisa was once again wearing maternity clothes. It’s time these two got married.


Just in time to welcome their newest daughter.


This is Genghis Khan-Doe. She’s Easily Impressed, Eccentric, and mad at me.


Genghis: Must learn to walk … must run away.


Soon Genghis had her birthday and became a Daredevil.
Genghis: Hah! Not soon enough for me.


Genghis: Tutor me Grandpa. I want to catch up with Greta.


Genghis: Run fast, run far my trusty steed!


Meanwhile, Greta visited her uncle at the Bunch house.
See, Arlo looks pretty cute.


Lisa invited Arlo over and force fed her brother cake.
I’ve seen him look worse *squints*.


Greta, a very easy child, hit the honor roll and became a teen. Her traits are Friendly, Artistic, Good Sense, of Humor, and Loves the Outdoors.


Time to make another baby.
Well, this is awkward.

Oh my!  "Because math" showed up  :=)  I appreciated it.
Greta is absolutely lovely!!  Love the clever Genghis Kahn-Doe name, but I'm all sorts of partial to Greta (not that I have favorites).

@PeregrineTook , I think Genghis has a little more Lisa in her. Greta really was an easy child. I make sure every grandchild gets the Steel Bladder LTR before moving. Greta also became Dirt Defiant. I have never had a child pop fewer wishes than Genghis. After the usual buy a planter bowl, she didn't wish for anything except finally to get on the honor roll.

@hazelnut , Genghis seems like a name that Lisa might choose.

@Magpie2012 , Lisa was kind of a Flip stalker. Sometimes she chose innocent conversation topics, but if they were going to be alone together, I had to set her to playing the guitar as flirt prevention.

Before long, Isla was insisting that Genghis feel her tummy.
Genghis: So that’s my aunt or uncle in there? How is that even possible?


Genghis was a hard worker and reached the honor roll only one day school day after her older sister.
Those clothes actually suit you, Genghis.


Isla interrupted the birthday celebration. There was half eaten cake everywhere.
Okay everyone, just calm down. Isla knows what she’s doing by now.


Genghis (Easily Impressed, Eccentric, Daredevil, Angler) got a job at the bookstore and then simplified her hair.
Genghis: I must be ready to leave on a moment’s notice.


Isla went into the bedroom and gave birth to her 8th child.


This is Hotel who is an Artistic Heavy Sleeper. She has Flip’s coloring, but her mother’s ears and lips maybe.


Hotel learned all the usual toddler skill including the importance of dance.


She was the first Khan-Doe to take a special trip to the library, however.


Hotel had her birthday becoming Ambitious.
Hotel: You know you could have named me Ritz or even La Quinta.
How about Holiday Inn?
Hotel: Never mind.


Hotel soon discovered an empty easel and set to work.


A pond was built in the back forty. I thought Genghis might enjoy it, but she never expressed any desire to fish. Flip and Isla like it even more than the sprinkler, though.


Hotel was invited to the Landgraab’s to do homework with possibly the last townie child in Sunset Valley.


That was a very important Friday. Both Greta and Genghis got on the honor roll, completing the last of their requirements, and Golf finally reached level 10 in his political career. One at a time, they raced across the street to begin the next chapter of their lives.
Get out of the middle of the street, Lisa.

Is it wrong that I really want Hotel to be a resort owner?
Another delightful update.  Keep up the great work  :=)

@PeregrineTook  and @Magpie2012 , A resort could be fun in another life time. Here it would be like You've got 5 minutes to get your resort to level 5!

Nothing improves the mood better before school than a quick sunflower dance.


Now that Hotel is the only child at home and she’s all tutored up, Flip has time to explore other interests like stocking the home pond with death fish.


It took Hotel three days to reach the honor roll. Once again, it’s cake time.


Hotel is now Irresistible.


Even with her school responsibilities and her job at the bookstore, Hotel still finds time to paint.

Two days of work got Hotel her promotion. She quit her job and registered as a professional painter.


One more day at school and she was ready for cake.
Hotel: I wish to be good friends with Arlo.


Here she is looking not much different than she did as a teen. Hotel’s traits are Artistic, Heavy Sleeper, Ambitious, Irresistible, and Family-Oriented.


Arlo was invited over and served cake.


Arlo: The juxtaposition between the artistic and the practical is fascinating.
Avant garde?


“Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme….”


Hotel: Arlo, will you marry me and be my own personal work of art, my very own Picasso?


Foxtrot: Hey, I’m trying to put on a show here! You’re turning my stomach.

This: Hey, I’m trying to put on a show here! You’re turning my stomach.

I totally feel your pain! It boggles the mind that we're going to have a Bunch of Arlo's running rampant!

@Magpie2012 , Just keep squinting. I may have to go back into my game and take a close-up just for you.

@Deklitch , The Bunch family is my favorite. It's easy to make fun of Arlo, but not everyone can be a beauty queen.

Arlo was a wonderful addition to the family. He wanted to be a Seaside Savior, but later changed his mind and decided just Swimming in Cash would be good enough. Arlo was naturally Athletic and wished to develop his abilities.


He was already at level 3 in handiness, so the military seemed a good fit.


There’s just something about a man in uniform. *squints*


Hotel was busy too.


Hotel: It’s time to buy a teddy bear, Arlo.


Arlo: Oh good. I like teddy bears.


When Hotel went into labor, Flip and Isla panicked, but Arlo just strolled on by.


While his wife gave birth, Arlo danced to his favorite kids’ music.


Which explains this, I guess.


Let’s see what Bunch hath wrought.
First up is little Hannah. She is a Disciplined Heavy Sleeper who has her mother’s coloring, but otherwise is all Arlo.


Hattie, on the other hand, has her father’s coloring. She looks more like Hotel, but she seems to have a very square jaw. She’s A Perceptive Heavy Sleeper. I used random traits. I swear.


Once again, Flip took over potty-training.


Flip: Woo! Potty-training! Now let’s start on those teeth.
Hannah: I have two…maybe.


Hattie: If I quietly play with Yeti, maybe the excited man won’t notice me.


Arlo: Mommy says we’re works of art. Don’t you forget it!


Just a quick note: As I said before, I’m not influencing gender. The totals so far – Children: 5 girls, 3 boys. Grandchildren – 12 girls, 5 boys.
