I'm not having the time currently to play my games as much and detailed as I would like, so instead of random and quick visits to my ongoing hoods, I figured I'll run a smaller new TS4 challenge, allowing me to test the Parenthood gamepack. So, here's a few pictures from my new attempt at the Five Units Challenge. Find the rules here if you want to check it out!
I created Abraham Clump and Sylvia Rotting in CAS. They look quite ordinary, but according to rules a few details were given my attention. A small house was built and I was actually surprised how easy it was to get a decent starter home. I expected that their start funds would not give them a quite spacious home, but that they would need to stress a while to get the essentials.
Well, here they are in their living room. No curtains yet, and most of the stuff is cheap, so they will upgrade eventually. Sylvia and Abraham are not yet engaged, but finally they are going steady and time was spent to build their romance.
The house is quite ordinary, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and a hall. No foundation yet, but whenever a 2nd story will be added, it might be natural to raise the house, too.
There is plenty of room for 6x6 plots behind the house, and left and right too, but I will need to consider how the house will be expanded.
Sylvia Rotting is young adult, she hasn't got the greatest looks, but I like her. Her main DNA is blond hair and green eyes, and the gen 3 sim will need to have Sylvia's green eyes.
Sylvia's aspiration is Freelance Botanist, and traits are Cheerful, Geek and Neat. Due to her botanical interest, she also like to collect stuff.
Abraham Clump is young adult, his main DNA is black hair and blue eyes, and the gen 3 sim will need to have his black hair. This shouldn't bee too difficult if each generation has 2-3 kids?
His aspiration is Bodybuilder, and traits are Cheerful, Jealous and Loner. Due to his athletic interest, he also got the High Metabolism trait.
Well, today was a bit funny, because suddenly there was this woman Anita Meshram calling Abraham, asking to come over. And, despite being a loner, Abraham accepted. Strange thing to do also because Sylvia and Abraham were busy romancing! Anita arrived and sat down alone while the couple totally ignored her.
Eventuallt Anita Meshram jpined their conversation, and when Abraham handed a rose to Sylvia, their guest were cheering. Silly guest, Sylvia had to tell her to leave! Good move, because that night Sylvia got pregnant!
After taking the pregnancy test, they had only §15 left, so they had to focus on raising funds. When the baby arrives they will need to buy some stuff. Sylvia planted a little garden, selling crops doesn't bring them the big money, but it might help. Not sure yet if Gardening will be Sylvia's skill.
Because I just added Parenthood to my game, I really want to try out some of the new child related stuff. No need to expand the house quite yet though, because the founders' bedroom is rather spacious, with room for one extra bed.
Abraham wants to exercise daily, and the easiest thing is to send him out jogging. By time he will want some gym equipment. It might be smart to dedicate his 6x6 outdoor unit to exercising, this way the rather big equipment won't need an extra room in the house.
He has taking up painting, and already makes a few hundreds during an inspired day. Not sure yet whether his skill will be Painting or Fitness.
The baby will soon be coming, Sylvia is on third trimester. Abraham invited her out on a date, they both needed to get out of the house, and a quick visit at Spice Market in the city was possible. Just the two of them!
But no! Who showed up other than Anika Meshram? She was thrilled to see Abraham, and she got seated to chat, without even bringing some food...
It became late hours until Sylvia and Abraham could find a quiet spot in the docks. There Abraham proposed to Sylvia, and they got married without any party. Perhaps they can celebrate a little later, but with no friends except the stalking Anika Meshram, it might be better to leave the wedding event to the next generation...
Baby will arrive in a matter of hours now, and Sylvia needs to eat and use he bathroom constantly. But she has reached level 2 in Gardening, allowing her to evolve the garden plants. She doesn't seem too enthusiastic though, maybe she should look for a more specific way of gardening?
Then it's due!!! They rush off to the hospital!
It really looks like a scaring thing, hopefully the doctor won't push the wrong buttons...
Abraham and Sylvia got the unexpected news - they are about to have twins named Rudolph and Sammy!
All went well and all seems happy, including the doctor.
Everyday will definitely be different! Not just one baby in their bedroom, but two! Rudolph cries a lot, and Sylvia found it strange that his eyes are brown, but that may change as he grows up.
Also Sammy has brown eyes, hm. Is it a typical baby stage thing, or will none of these have the required green eyes?
Well, they will know soon enough. I don't think babies will grow up by themselves, so they will stay in baby cribs for 24 hours. Growing into toddlers will unveil some genetics, and whether Sylvia and Abraham will need to have more kids.
To be continued...
Welcome! :) On this blog you will find stories, how i play and videos created with The Sims 4, but also a few projects from older game versions can be found in the Archive. The old TS3 stories have their own blogs. Most long going stories have a main page with index of updates.

I'm no longer on Tumblr! I refused to give all their 3rd parties unlimited access to my computer. Link still works, but no updates.
