Oh my god.
I'm up for revenge on Thor too. The nerve...
I have some ideas, but have not had a chance to exact them yet. I'm glad my X Files references aren't going unappreciated. Sadly, Mulder doesn't seem to be shacking up, so his very unique face might not make it past this generation.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation of MC Commander. I'm still quite daunted by it, though it seems so very useful.
Great progress with the house! I'm really enjoying this story!
Grrrr, Thor! Yes, he deserves to be punished somehow... hilarious after-shot of him and Foosball.
Oooh, congratulations on the twins! Were you hoping for multiple births?
It's honestly very simple to use, you just dump it into your mod folder then set your preferences using a computer in town. Thanks! I need to expand the house soon and like ... make it something other than a square, but you know, fabulously wealthy aspiration first. And no on the intentional multiples, that was quite a surprise.
STEELLLLLLLAAAAAAAAA! 
I do look forward to their kids being close, though: BFFs generation two!
Eugenie continues to be the cutest thing ever. Good to see Joaquin's got priorities: clone the action figures, absolutely! I bet he's got vintage.
We may have to chat MBTI some day. The tests floating around the internet are often bad and kinda wonky, but understanding personality typing can actually be a really useful (and fun) skill.
(Psssst: @Trip do iiiiit)
Haha, I'd be up for that conversation. Eugenie is adorable. I have yet to try cloning toys but it's on my list! It'll be a bonding activity for the boys and their dad.
I'm a bit confused. Did you make all the different celebs? Dorothy, Harry, Hermione, Frank, etc. etc? I am so loving them all, except maybe for Thor who is quite the disappointment.
I enjoyed watching Joaquin do the Simray thing! Another Simray fan!! It's something I personally love doing and have furnished most of my no buy house that way. Well, that and multiple people doing the whole connections thing. I usually hate surprises but this is one case where it's really fun to see what will come out next! Did you sell or use most of the stuff you got?
The wedding was lovely and romantic. Nice to see folks crashing the party too.
Cracked up at Thor's foosball obsession. Obviously they don't have such a thing in Mithgar.
No way, I am not that talented. I just put keywords into the gallery and placed non-cc sims (except Dorothy, that was an accident) into the lots in town, going by who looked the most like the actors who portrayed the characters. It's a shame I haven't caught Ron Weasley because he is spot. on. Same with filling out the town with lots. I have a bunch of houses from keywords like "bohemian" or "gothic" and some restaurants and parks and such. The tiny tavern Stella and Eugenie go to that first time is a gallery creation that fits on one of the tiny lots that's left empty in Windenburg.

Watcher's Note - For now I have a self imposed restriction on aging up the babies prematurely or trying to affect their gender(s). If you care.Though we're still trying to save as many pennies as possible to get Joaquin to Fabulously Wealthy, we did splurge on a room for the children. I wanted it to be bright and jolly and I think we did an all right job on a limited budget.
The completed house will need to be expanded to allow for hallways and another bathroom soon enough, but for now, it serves us quite well. Cube-like as it may be. It occurs to me with this view that the Master Bedroom is really very ugly and poorly decorated in comparison to the rest of the home.
Joaquin has really stepped up to the challenge of fatherhood and is a wonderful help. He even offered to babysit so I could visit Stella after she gave birth to little Lucas.
Candy had insisted I come with her for that visit. I think she's disturbed by Stella's new ... uh, husband. Yes. Stella eloped. With our dear Wednesday's boyfriend, John Connor. The day after he aged up to Young Adult. We all feel very weird about it. Perhaps Stella is having some sort of midlife crisis. She broke the news to me shortly before going into labor.
Or perhaps she just eats up the absolute adoring worship that young, handsome John lavishes upon her after all of her romantic failures. He claims to have been in love with her since he was a boy, which is more than a little creepy, but I suppose I can see the romance in it too. Of course I support anything that makes Stella happy, I just was a bit ... shocked, I suppose.
Also, I'm pregnant again. And completed my aspiration! I've now joined Joaquin for the home stretch of Fabulously Wealthy. When we've accomplished it, we will do Soul Mates together. So far I've published two apps and two games, all of which are romantically focused. My dating tool can't be
proven to be responsible for all the love in town, but I know what my analytics tell me, and it's at least responsible for a good hunk!
The boys seemed to grow up into little children faster than could be possible
(grr toddler stage). Little Hawke rolled the unfortunate combo of Lazy and Rambunctious Scamp. Legacy Randomizer has a sense of humor. He also inherited my chin. Or lack thereof.
Carver
(sigh) got the Mean trait and wishes to be a Whiz kid. He inherited his father's chin and my eyesight.
And of course, they both got Joaquin's shaggy brown hair. Seeing the three of them together just does the most incredible things for my romantic little heart.
Of course, it's not all easy. My pregnancy is uncomfortable and Carver seems to pre-emptively hate the sibling he "never asked for" for making mom sad. Hawke just yawns.
But I don't expect my children to be perfect. It's enough that they love one another and us, even if sometimes there is a mean streak or a fit of narcolepsy.
Though Joaquin long ago handed control of his club, the Spin Masters, over to Candy to focus on making money, he knew the value of a good club (and very much enjoys our wellness meetings). He suggested that the boys might meet some neighborhood kids for a homework and skilling group, which was an idea they enthusiastically took to.
So was born Kool Kidz, and we finally got to meet some of the offspring of our famous neighbors.
The wellness club often gathered at the same time for assistance with homework. There seems to be no hard feelings between Wednesday and Stella.
As Wednesday says, "I don't want a man who worships me. Or who'd leave."
And Stella says, "So you're not into men?"
And yes, Candy is pregnant. She and Harry tied the knot shortly after she found out. He is now Harry Behr, which makes Joaquin giggle-snort.
Now, to meet some of the
potential spouses town children. First and foremost, this is Lucas, Stella's son. He got the creative trait because life isn't fair. He looks very much like a combination of his two parents. (I heard through the grapevine that the alien and Thor are expecting, but it's unclear which one of them is pregnant. Hopefully it's Treacherous Tom and his lack of shirts, so the whole town can see him get flabby. Ha.)
Stella and John Connor are expecting a new child. They sure didn't waste any time. Not that I can talk, I suppose.
Anyway. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Summer Holiday married Captain America? Well. You'd get this kid. A veritable Prince Charming, glowing with genetic perfection. He will likely offer my boys some stiff competition later in life with the ladies.
Jon Snow and his townie bride had triplet girls. Here are two of them with Carver. The pretty one, Melina, has the glutton trait, which is a real shame. The squinty one is very tight lipped about her trait despite many getting-to-know-yous, so I might have to internet stalk her. I can do that now that I've completed Computer Whiz.
Apparently I missed the announcement, but Hikaru Sulu married a townie and produced a daughter named Jaylah. She is a Genius and is very cute. And I appreciate her sense of randomized aquatic style.
Robb and Dana Scully also produced triplets, but only one daughter. Her name is Journey, which is a beautiful name, and she has her father's piercing blue eyes. However, she is evil.
Hands down, my favorite
prospect of the boys' friends is little Georgia DeWitt. She is the child of Clint Bartlett (Hawkeye) and Rose DeWitt (Kate Winslet's character from Titanic). She loves the outdoors and is very likely the most beautiful child sim I have ever laid eyes on.
That said, all of the children are courteous and polite, even Evil little Journey. So they are all welcome in our home as long as that continues. And it delights us to see the boys getting on so well with all these other children.
We're also proud to say they're only a few hours away from completing their initial aspirations very early on in their childhoods. Unsurprisingly, Hawke has taken over my computer to use typing for the bulk of his, rather than exercising in any fashion.
While his brother "politely" asks inappropriate questions to get his mean out. Like, "so which one do you call dad, then?"
I went into labor with my third son while I was sleeping. So I didn't make it to the hospital for his birth.
Welcome to the world, Varric. I think perhaps I'm done with pregnancy now.
Luckily, the bedroom had enough room for a third bed. So now it's down to waiting to see who my boys will be.
And perhaps who we'll be as parents to them.

For the curious - MC Controller update on the town.
The Hulk has impregnated three disney princesses (Jasmine, Belle, and Snow White) and moved into his own house. This is a different Sim from Bruce Banner, who is monogamous with Pepper Pots. Hulk likes 'em royal and brunette, apparently, or as my friend Desiree said, HULK SNOO SNOO. (though if we're being honest, HULK SMASH still works here too.
)
John wasn't the only one who ditched his teen girlfriend the instant he aged up. Pugsley also immediately married a random townie named Eva. And the Stark brothers shacked up as well with older wo...men. Bran with Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West and Rickon with Frank. Both are expecting. Here are the rest of the pairs:
Maaike Haas/Don Lothario
Dina Caliente/The Joker
Aurora/Paolo
Natasha/Mitchell Kalani
J. Huntington/Mulan
Poison Ivy/Travis Scott
Hermione/James Kirk
Maria de la Vega (yeah, we got Zorro, he just never shows up)/Malcolm Laandgrab
Swab Townie from the Science job (Mila)/The Joker
And to recap the kids:
Hawke: Lazy/Rambunctious Scamp
Carver: Mean/Whiz Kid
Jaylah Sulu - Sulu/Random Townie - Genius
Geogia DeWitt - Rose/Clint - Loves the Outdoors
Melina Snow - Jon Snow/Townie - Glutton
Journey Scully - Robb/Dana - Evil
Lucas Payne - Creative
