Triplets? . Good luck dealing with them!
Arron sounds a real pain, although I found the streaking and playing in the toilet oddly adorable.
Also, I love that bonkers light fitting over Lorna and Ali's bed and Lorna's colourful suit.
Arron’s extremely headache-inducing. Between him and trying to keep track of the triplets.... *rubs temples wearily *
Lorna’s suit is her Art Critic uniform. Not sure it’s very gloomy, but I like her beret
Awww, I missed congratulating the Watcher on Mara achieving top-notch toddler and on Aaron's arrival.
The Doom family is really zooming right along! How many extra points do toddlers add to the overall score?
Though Aaron is no doubt more fun to observe from her than to trait, I really enjoyed all your shots of the stroppy Aaron. I've never played the Wild trait.
Congrats on all the skill-maxing! And I'm impressed that you didn't even use Jasmine Holiday's relationship boost for Social Butterfly (I haven't checked if she's allowed this time around).
Oh no, triplets! Quick! Hire a nanny! I have to say that toddlers really complicate the "Have/adopt 10 children in one generation" milestone"...
I'm still very jealous--none of my watched sims have ever given birth to triplets!
Crossing my fingers that you eventually get your Gloomy child! (Are you using HillieE's Random Trait Generator or Pinstar's?)
The score is still capped at 101, but toddler skills count towards the total skills learned, so that bit is now much easier. But as you say, it really complicates the ‘Have 10 children’ milestone, so it probably balances out.
I might have used Jasmine Holiday if I’d thought of it! She must be around somewhere, but I haven’t seen her, so I forgot that was an option (although possibly not allowed in the legacy).
They’re my first watched triplets too. In fact, I don’t think I’ve even had any twins on Sims 4.
Oh, and I’m using Pinstar’s trait generator.
Wow, Tasmanian Devil Child + Triplets. Good luck! More like legacy of doomed to drive the watcher crazy?
Thanks! Yeah, this generation is little more painful than I was expecting!
I swear! This game! Every time I've wanted just one more baby it spits out multiples! I don't even want to think about three toddlers at once. Oh, well, at least the Doom family is supposed to look gloomy at all times.
It's so great that both kids so far have inherited Lorna's skintone. Fingers crossed your luck holds out with the triplets. I guess you've got three more chances at a gloomy trait, so that's nice.
Arron's such a cutie! I loved his tantrum!
Lorna looks amazing in her career outfit. That beret suits her perfectly!
Congrats to the Dooms on their many achievements this chapter!
Yep – the doom thing is turning out to be great. Whenever anything good happens, that’s fab for obvious reasons; but whenever bad stuff happens, that’s good too, because
doomed!
Triplets! Should be exciting. It's been such a long time since I tried a legacy -- will you be able to move some of them out eventually?
Yes, I can move the kids out (except the heir, obviously) as soon as they reach teen – although they’ll probably stay longer, depending on what traits and aspirations they roll.
The triplets were soon toddlers. Lola, the oldest, rolled the Charmer trait, thank goodness. She has Ali’s eyes, Lorna’s skin tone, and mystery hair.
Devlin is a chip off the old block and rolled the Fussy trait. Nice of him to favour Ali, since the rest of the family look far more like Lorna.
The youngest, Brennan, is Inquisitive. He has glasses, because without them his portrait-panel picture looks too much like Arron’s and I kept clicking on the wrong toddler.
Arron maxed out all of his toddler skills on his birthday, with a lot of micromanagement and help from both parents, Mara, and poor, long-suffering Reiko-the-nanny. Whew!
His parents caked him up quick, and threw a party to celebrate the demise of the little brat’s wild trait, I mean, to celebrate their beloved son’s birthday.
He rolled the Gloomy trait, and becomes the likely next heir (being the firstborn, Mara could supplant him if she rolls the Gloomy trait later; the triplets never can). The current plan is probably to do the cadet thing with Mara, because, favouritism.
Very appropriately, the formerly-wild Arron rolled Rambunctious Scamp. Mara had just switched over to that aspiration too, so they went to the park to do the ‘play on a jungle gym while playful’ bit together.
The triplets are skilling quite quickly without much intervention – they like chatting to each other, often entertain themselves, and they love skilling with the ever-awesome Reiko, which makes them infinitely less of a headache than their big brother was.
Although painless or not, Lola and Devlin are still most definitely Dooms.
And even when she’s happy, Lola can be a little bit disconcerting. If I had the vampire game pack, she’d be a prime candidate for turning, because that 'smile' would be even better with fangs.
The only one who didn’t get the Doom Memo is Brennan. He’s happy full-time, bless him
.
In non-toddlerspam news, the wild one became a Rambunctious Scamp in record time. Shocker.
He switched over to Artistic Prodigy. Arty stuff isn't really his cup of tea, but he’ll probably need to memorialise his spouse some day.
And finally, Mara aged up to teen. Notice how neither parent is anywhere in sight, but lovely Reiko is there to cheer? If she weren’t so useful as an NPC, I’d want to adopt her <3.
Mara rolled the Foodie trait, which synchronises nicely with her Creative trait – depending on her final trait, she’ll almost certainly find herself in the culinary career and knocking out a lot of the points from the Food scoring category. She got Fabulously Wealthy as her first aspiration.
Current state of the Dooms:
Lorna: Completed Painter extraordinaire; 3 bestsellers to go on Bestselling Author. Maxed painting, writing, guitar. L9 art critic.
Ali: Maxed piano, guitar, painting, L7 cooking, L6 violin. L9 of musician career. Has also earned a point in the Food category by autonomously eating enough homemade birthday cakes to get fat from the family’s cooking
Mara: Maxed all toddler and child skills, plus violin and piano; L6 charisma. Completed all child aspirations.
Arron: Maxed all toddler skills, motor and creativity. Rambunctious Scamp done, and most of the way through Artistic Prodigy.
Triplets: 3 days off child. Lola’s maxed Communication; other skills are in progress.
