The Life State Dynasty of the Affini family (Update 11. Mar)

[Audren]

I love reading through this dynasty. The aliens are so precious! I look forward to reading more!

[MarianT]

Great family! And who knew that ghosts could pick up pets? Look forward to more!

[LenaLJ]

Such a cute little family!  I think Nataly is my favorite.
I'm only vaguely familiar with the rules for this type of dynasty, but it appears to me you're doing quite well, though getting Nataly a negative trait by her YA birthday will definitely take some effort!  Can't say I've ever gotten a Sim the irresponsible trait, but I'm working on argumentative for one and its challenging!

@PeregrineTook It was a hazzle with that trait, and also now as a young adult Nataly is facing difficulties with it. (Secretly she is a bit favorised by me too, i really like her)

I'm really floored at the diversity of your children so far!
Congrats on the twin alien boys--they are precious.
All the children are growing like weeds!

So looking forward to what happens next!

Thanks @oshizu , i feel lucky that i already got so many different lifestate just in the first batch, only missing a vampire and a witch.
And yes it feels like they are growing up so fast, but I am still trying to do it even faster

Oh wow, this is really cool!  I keep looking at the rules for the Life States dynasty this time around.  It really is Baby Boomer on steroids XD But I'm really enjoying how you are tackling it!  I sincerely love the masterpiece paintings as well.

@Shewolf13 Babyboomer is always one of my favorite challenges, so this is really just my deal.

Thanks @Audren

@MarianT Raquel is a real cat lover, I really liked having Angel with me to test out the new expansion a bit when the expansion hit, but she will move out with Raquel to get one more space in the house. But will definitly have to play more with the pets.

Week 3:

They ventured into the 3rd week. Knowning this would all be about skilling and working. Andrad and Alique both took up new skills, so that they could better help their comming children.

Every now and then the children went to the wishing well, all asking for the same. Help us with our careers. And everytime it shined nicely and green granting them a boost towards their goals.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

They all had to gain friends too. Broderick as the Social Media star he desired to be could not help himself to share every step of his life with his followers.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Eduardo talked up the young ladies as his friends or fangirls.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

While Nataly tried to gain friends and skills at the same time even though it could backfire a bit.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And then there were the skills. Chaim worked hardly on the computer, switching between programming and playing games.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nataly having caught up with her siblings in her progress, enjoyed the quiet time in the garden.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

They did not spent much time on sleep, and worked both day and night. Broderick soon had mastered the DJing skills.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Raquel and Angel bonded more and more while Raquel tended her vetenarian skills.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And Eduardo was mastering the different arts of music.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

But again the alien would not let us work in piece and pick up Chaim this time.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The week went by and one by one left the home, first Nataly, then Eduardo, the Broderick, and also Raquel and Angel.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Lastly only Chaim had to fullfill the last few tasks, so even though he came home tiredly from work he powered through.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Andrad og Alique where once again alone. Flirtingly they celebrated that 5 children had completed the goals and moved out.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And it was time to bring in the next generation.

It's such a pleasure seeing the images of the whole family hard at work.  And what a beautiful family it has been so far.
I'm looking forward to reading about Week 4 brings to Alique and Andrad.

Since your parents chose the huge Hound's Head lot, may we assume that they will not be moving?
Can't wait to see what happens next!

[Shewolf13]

Oh wow, all five are already done?  That's awesome!  Can't wait to see the nooboos!

[reggikko]

You're really making great progress. I can't wait to see the next batch of kids.

[christinal3106]

How did Nataly get that skin color?  I never seen an adopted child like that.  Or could you change it somehow?

@oshizu Glad you like the family. I surely do
And you are right, I decided to go for a bigger lot and stay put for the whole challenge.

@Shewolf13 and @reggikko  Thanks, it went nice and fast, couldnt wait on the next toddlers either.

@christinal3106 The skintone comes from custom content, long time back i found a big pack with a tons of colourfull skintones, and now i cant play without
You cannot see the skintone on babies, but it shows up from the toddler stage and forward.
More colours in the spoiler

@LenaLJ  Sorry, I am a cc noob.  I have never used it, so how does it work?  Do the babies you adopt just have those skin tones when they age up?  Does it effect the random sims generated?  Or is it something you change yourself?

[PeregrineTook]

Is it unfair that I like Nataly so much more than her siblings?  There's just something delightfully whimsical to her (which I'm sure that the outfit simply enhances) and it just makes me smile every time she's in a screenshot.  I mean, her facial expressions alone are delightful!
Sad to see this first lot heading out, but excited to see who comes along next!
You're doing splendidly with this challenge!

@christinal3106  Thats totally okay This is also the only CC i use. The babies do not have any of these skintones, they just look like normal babies. But when i age them up to Toddlers they get a skintone from all the skintones that the game can access. So in my case, thats the normal skins tones everybody has + twice as many colourfull skintones. This does also affect random generated sims. So i do not have to change it to get it to happen randomly, if I want I can though go into CAS and create and change sims to have these skintones.

@PeregrineTook Wouldnt call it unfair, she has a very special place in my watcher heart too. Rather lucky with how the game created her. Its always sad to see them leave, but it means more toddlers

[christinal3106]

@LenaLJ  Sorry, I just have a couple more questions about those skintones.  First, are they genetic?  Also, can you tell me what they are called or link it.  I really want more skin tones in my game.

Week 4:

With all the children moved out, it was time to get the next batch in. Alique went to the wishing well again, and the wishing well send another lost child to her.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Andrad went out and adopted two children. First beign little Miracle, and the second beign Floyd.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Both aging into toddlers so fast that they really had their hands full again. Alique tried to help them all at once, Aspen was just like our former ghost a whiz-kid child, and the toddlers wanted all the attention they could get.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Floyd was a playfull fast learning toddler, very capable on his own.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Miracle instead loved that Alique and Andrad was always there to teach and comfort them.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Floyd blew out his candles way before Miracle.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And then Alique gave birth, alerting the whole play room.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The triplets Drew, Ebony and Faith where born. Drew beign a vampire like his mom, and Ebony and Faith both beign aliens.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Miracle soon followed Floyd and celebrated her birthday.
All while Aspen studied day and night.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And in the middle of it all, Andrad turned Adult, a not so pleasent surprise.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Aspen started early with contacting the wishing well, but it gladly applied to her wishes.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Alique spent time playing violins with Floyd and Miracle.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It was already very clear to see that Drew would resemble his mother. While Ebody and Faith looked more like their father.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

After reaching a A in school Aspen came home telling she was going though a phase, a dress like a bear phase.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

All 3 toddlers did so well with their tasks, all with help from both Alique and Andrad.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Alique had the honors to bring them all to their cakes. Firts Drew, then Ebony and lastly Faith.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

After that she tried assiting Aspen with her phase and dressed up too.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Miracle was also working hard. She aspired to be a witch, like she felt it in her blood. And witches need to be feared.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And so Miracle grew up as the first, staying a bit in her teenage years to complete her goals a bit easier. Arguing with everybody she could get near.
