No worries! Just roll with it and everything will pan out sooner or later.  :)

I Agree. I think everyone started out a little rambled and may have thought it was bad when it was actually excellent! I think your doing a great job and remember we are all our own worst critic.

Definitely! The beginning of the Lancasters I felt I was all over the place (it's my first attempt at a Dynasty). But once I actually got into it, I felt more confident that it was better than I originally thought it was.

You guys are the best. Thank you.  :D

It seemed I barely blinked and suddenly Daisy was suffering labour pains.  She dashed to the hospital and, hmm, the gods of the game are playing with me. Twins. Great.


Dahlia was first,

followed closely by Daphne. The happy pair barely had enough money to buy another crib.

Daisy's earnings were quite good by now but Tyron was earning pocket money. I decided to leave him in his job anyway. He could mind the babies once Daisy returned to work. It worked out well. He had to leave in the same car that drove her home.

Tyron could help out in the garden too.


His main focus though, in between diaper changes, the never-ending feeds and social interactions for the babies, was painting.


I wanted Tyron to paint the portraits.  I didn't like his chances of getting there though. I even spent a precious $400 of their meager savings on lessons for him.

I feel embarrassed to admit how difficult I found those babies. My sims have had oodles of children but almost always I have relied on mods to help out. Having to do it on my own was a real challenge. I was so pleased when their birthday rolled around. At least twin toddlers could interact on the toddler table (once they learned to talk).

They grew up rather sweet I thought. Dahlia has her mother's lovely eyes.


And Daphne has golden brown eyes like her dad.


I know I should have fixed those horrible eyebrows but - no time, no time.  ;D

Figwit, your twins are adorable and I have to hand it to you.  I've been having a hard time with one at a time, so you have done well to raise two!   ;D

Thank you both.  The twins were a lot of work but I must admit I have fallen in love with them.   ;D

Apologies for the wonky text/pics in the previous chapters.  I tend to forget that not everyone has the same sized screen.  I have fixed them now and will do better from now on. :D

Now, somehow, I have just managed to lose the work I just did so here we go again.

The twins were a lot of work but they were totally adorable too.


I have to admit, I regretted rushing around organizing other training and then breathing a sigh of relief when they were asleep - a bit like real life babies really :) because, like real life babies, these little ones would grow up fast. 

Somehow, I managed to get them trained in all the right things.


It's a pity their dad, Tyron, didn't learn as fast. I anxiously watched their days slip by while he struggled with his painting.

And then, something I have only happen once before in my game.  My sim girl aged to full adult.  Really though.  She has just got those toddlers off to sleep. :o


She looks just as lovely as an adult.  She got new hair to celebrate.


Tyron tells her that she is still the most beautiful woman in his life. Big of him seeing he is a whole lot older than her anyway and is not far off becoming an elder.  Still, they are an affectionate couple and are always throwing up romance wants for each other.


And for a birthday surprise they got some brick veneer added to the outside walls of their humble little cottage.


I knew now that there was no way known I was going to meet any of the requirements for the challenge. Tyron just can't get the hang of painting, they are still as poor as church mice, and time is on a roller coaster.  Still, I decided to keep ploughing on. If I can achieve anything at all in this before everyone dies I will feel I have done something. ;D

Thank you all.

Kattiq, the hair is an Anto 84 conversion. I am not sure if this is the same version I have but I know it is available on My Blue Book blog.

You are very welcome :)  Oops. Removed the link, Kattiq.

Did anyone hear that noise? It was one of the unfulfilled goals whizzing past - the portrait of the heir as a toddler because those little toddlers soon aged up to children and Tyron was still painting nothing special.  

Dahlia, the heir


and Daphne


Dahlia has her dad's reddish skin whereas Daphne is paler like her mother.

They get their own girly pink room. It is not exactly luxurious but they like it.



The girls learn to paint.


and fish


Things are starting to look up at home. We know what this 'unknown' tree is going to be don't we?


They are a happy, loving, if non-achieving, little family.


and there is plenty of romance to spare


Actually, despite the big pash, he turned her down for a woohoo twice here. I don't know why. Sims!

That's great Figwit!  I loved the shot of the whole family at the table - they do look like a happy little family.  Their garden is looking really nice too!   ;D
