The Founders: Byron and Emily Gordon
Lot: Slipshod Mesquite in Oasis Springs
Life State: Human

LSD1a.jpg

First things first. The parents head over to Magnolia Promenade to fish for Dragon Fruit.

LSD1b.jpg

Byron's first Aspiration is Nerd Brain. Emily started with Painter Extraordinaire. She also took a Freelancer position once her painting skill was at level 7. At that point, more lucrative gigs show up. I didn't think it was worth it to take gigs under $1K. Of course, Byron took a job in the Scientist career for the increased abduction odds. By the way, Dance Machine/Disco nap + upgraded bed means that they only had to sleep for about an hour and a half per night.

LSD1c.jpg

By the end of week 1, both had completed their aspirations. I sent them out in turns to adopt three infants: Eliot, Elinor, and Milton. The next day they tried for baby. Emily gave birth to twins, Shelley and Keats.

LSD1m.jpg

Despite leaving an open spot, Byron came back without an alienboo on board. In fact, he would go on to be abducted numerous times with no luck.

LSD1d.jpg

Soon, the babies began to grow up. Milton's toddler ensemble cracked me up. Hey Milton, Huggy Bear called. He wants his outfit back!

LSD1f.jpg

His child look was a big improvement, if I do say so myself. Nerd chic really suits him.

LSD1g.jpg

Cooking with kids! That's Keats in the foreground and Shelley on the computer.

LSD1h.jpg

Still the best way to make fast money in the game.

LSD1i.jpg

Milton and Eliot. Eliot was the first to become a teen. Milton is working on one of his adult skills. When children knit, they get Knitting skill, Motor skill, and Emotional Control all at once. Sweet!

LSD1j.jpg

Elinor was not amused that she only got to be a teen for one day.

LSD1l.jpg

But look, Elinor. Shiny!

LSD1k.jpg

Can you tell who was my favorite child of this bunch?


Here's a link to my Spreadsheet if anyone is interested in all of the particulars of who did what when. Note-I also use the sheet for planning. Completed objectives are green and when a child moves out, their entire column is colored in. Warning, there are spoilers!

Yay!  I can't wait to see what  your lovely in-pink parents have been up to!
Are they wearing pink to match their skin tone?

Also, you changed your avatar but I can't figure out who it is.  Tell me, tell me!  Lol.

That's Andy Tate, the Sim who is exploring Henford-on-Bagley for me. That's his first bunny friend, Peter.

Emily and Byron sure started out with a gorgeous group of kids!!!  Seriously lovely!
I laughed out loud we both had a redheaded pear move out first in the Culinar career with the skills Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and Baking.

I love how Milton looks like an intellectual nerd, while Keats and Shelley pose like studmuffins.
Elinor has a super adorable smile!
I also really your update format, with each kid's requirements laid out.  What a great idea!

Oooh, Clarke is Emily and BYron's 15th child to move out!
Congrats on being 1/3rd done with this dynasty challenge, Watcher!

I'm so impressed that Group 3 is bookended with alien progeny!  How lucky is that!!!
I imagine that Clarke is named after the science fiction author Arthur Clarke, but his glasses kinda make me think of Clark Kent (without the "e"). :)
Poor Salim! So handsome but nobody wants to move into his poorly-furnished apartment!  Especially not a mermaid!

Yes, Clarke is named for Arthur C Clarke and Wells is named for HG Wells.

The natural-born children are Shelley, Keats, and Spenser. I am hoping for a girl this time, but I haven't influenced either the natural-born or the alien genders.

You're such a mind-reader!  *puts on tinfoil hat
I was wondering if I could tell, based on appearance, which of the kids were natural-born.
Spenser with his curly hair fooled me!
Also, I thought Wells looks a lot like his parents, but then I saw that he's an alien. What a coincidence!

I think with alien children the disguise often resembles the human parent. Wells is one of the more attractive progeny, in my opinion. Quite a few of these offspring will probably make it into my casual game at some point. I really like quite a few of them.

Child 22 just became a toddler, so I'm actually almost halfway there. :)
