Galia Power of Ten Dynasty 2.0 - Week 4: Power of Happiness
« on: November 07, 2020, 11:39:24 AM »
Galia Power of Ten Dynasty


Welcome to my latest dynasty attempt!  This was supposed to be the year that I actually accomplished something Sims related...but then 2020 really hit and like so many others, it has drained me physically and emotionally.  But I'm feeling better now and want to give this a shot.

Since it's the Power of Ten, and it's about Power, I have chosen a last name that means Power/strength.  There is also another theme going through, that I will leave someone on here to figure out.  I also want to create a powerful bloodline by the end of the challenge.  I could have started with a special sim from the gallery, but with 10 generations, I think I have plenty of time to get it done.

Chapter 1:  The Power of Love (Week 1)





So let's learn a little bit about Gonzalo.  I created him from CAS Stories.  He is a merman, and fine looking one at that!  He starts at level 3 of the conservation career.  He will be choosing the Marine Biology branch.  His traits are Outgoing, Loves the Outdoors, and Child of the Islands.




Before Gonzalo summons the Island Elementals, he does need to build himself a tiny house.  This is so he will get the super speedy relationship goals.  He doesn't have forever to woo his Elemental Princess.  He also decides to do some Conservation Research before calling the Elementals to see if that will put him in better favor with them (it didn't, but he only did it one time)






Look at all these choices Gonzalo has!  I will be honest, this isn't Gonzalo's "first" attempt at this challenge.  We kept trying until we got pretty elementals.  If we didn't like the one's we got, we just started a new file.




Gonzalo has chosen this beauty!  Her name is Kalama something or other.  Her last name doesn't matter because it will be Galia soon enough.  She is an adult, which is her only downfall.  Her traits are unflirty, which doesn't seem to affect them with the tiny house relationship bump, Creative, Snob, and of course, Sulani Mana.  Her given Aspiration is Aspiring Author, but it's going to keep changing, so that information isn't important.




Gonzalo has asked Kalama to move in with him.  She is very pretty in a tribal way.  I'm gonna leave her alone (well she is gonna get new clothes).  She brings $20,000 to the household, and Gonzalo hasn't earned hardly anything except for the Researching Conservation did for his At home Assignment.






Gonzalo took her on a date to Sand Simoleon Beach (Comm Lot 1).  He made her some food, because she was hungry.  She wasn't shy about eating, which Gonzalo liked very much.




Later that evening, Kalama had some news to share with Gonzalo.  They were going to have a daughter.  Well they better have a daughter!  We better go get some strawberries!



The next day, Gonzalo took Kalama to the Garden of Hot n Heavy and proposed.  She said yes!



Gonzalo then made a wish at the Wishing Well for fortune and was awarded around $30,000, thus fulfilling his earn $10,000 simoleons reward.


Gonzalo's got to "get to the church on time"!







For some reason, my game wouldn't perform the wedding ceremony outside.  I think it's because it was raining and Kalama had an umbrella in her hand.  So I had them elope inside, and it worked. 


Gonzalo became good friends with Patchy, resulting in a non human friend, and the added benefit of seed stealing!






Gonzalo and Kamela have gone to many different community lots and festivals during their "Honeymoon" period.   They went to the Humor Hijinks Festival, Waterside Warble, Myshuno Meadows, Ohan'ali Beach, Sand Bar, and Romance Festival.  These are in addition to the placed they were for their first date and proposal.


Imelda was born late in the evening on Wednesday (maybe early Thursday morning).

Next time we will cover Week 2, and go through Imelda's toddler time.

Ok. Let's try this again.  I wrote up my whole update a couple days ago and when I hit "post" it said that I didn't have anything in my message body.  After messing around for a few minutes I gave up.  I've also decided to go the route that a few others have recently done, and that is to make short updates instead of story.  I may change my mind at some point in time, but right now I just don't feel it. 




Chapter 2:  Power of Antiquity (1st Spring, Week 2)









As promised, here is Imelda as a toddler.  She has her mommy's hair color, and her daddy's eye color.  She is also a mermaid.  Can't remember her toddler trait, but think it's inquisitive or something.  I do have to say that she earned Top Notch Toddler the fastest I have ever seen...like less than 2 days!  I'm sure some of you do that all the time, but I do not get along well with toddlers.
















Since Imelda is essentially done her work for the toddler stage, I decided it would be a perfect time to take Gonzalo to Selvadora to start his Archeology skill and work on whatever antiquities collection proves to be the most beneficial.  He took a 4 day trip in order to be home in time for Imelda's birthday.









Imelda's birthday party was a success, however, she aged up needing a shower something fierce.  Their house was still kinda tiny, and had a VERY open floor plan (meaning shower and toilet were in the kitchen with no walls).  Imelda would die of embarrassment if all the people at her birthday party saw her naked.  So she ran to the ocean and went for a swim, however, it didn't help her hygiene.  Sidenote:  The seagulls mean we have improved the islands the first level.  I have never done the conservation thing before, so I am interested to see what happens.



Gonzalo and Kalama have also decided that the house needs to be a "normal" house now that Imelda is a child.  Everyone needs a little bit more space and privacy.  The watcher doesn't currently have the patience to build one house, so we are just gonna piece together some rooms and call it a day.

I'm really bad with toddler care, so I gotta respect your first top-notch toddler. Any day now for me!

And the new house is great.

Before I read the update, I have had that to happen to me before. I would copy and paste my update on the note pad before posting in case I lost it. That way all I would need to do is reinsert my photos.

Thanks, Trip.  I think the winning combo is tiny lot and study spot.  All the other times I raised a toddler I was fighting to get the last skill in.  She had them all in 2 days tops, and I let her sleep and eat lol!

Before I read the update, I have had that to happen to me before. I would copy and paste my update on the note pad before posting in case I lost it. That way all I would need to do is reinsert my photos.

I think the trouble is that I didn’t convert my files to jpg.  Mrs Flynn dm’d me and said this a rule, so I fixed the stuff.  I usually blog my stuff so that rule just totally slipped my mind.

What a lovely family.

Thank you both!  I just got Snowy Escapes and I need to decide if I’m going to disable it to play this file or leave it in.  I know they like you to wait until heir change but I just can’t see an advantage if I have it now, in fact I see a potential disadvantage in the lifestyle section.

Sorry to double post myself, but I wanted to let you guys know that my file was hit with the stupid bug.  I lost like 2 sim weeks, and I'm thinking it might just be easier to start over, than try to figure out from my notes what goals I have to accomplish yet again if I were to replay the time lost.

My Restart is Here.  I was feeling inspired and actually wrote a story for the beginning...it's short lived though, by the end of the update, it's back to sim A did this, Sim B did that. 


Oh, and I'm also back to doing this on my blog.
