Diary of a Sims Player: Generation one summary

This is really quite simple. I start with three sims. The lifespan is set to long. Erin is the founder. I chose supernatural life states to make things more interesting. Erin is a fairy; Bryce is a genie; Jesse is a witch. I move them into a house in Dragon Valley. Erin's LTW is to perform inner beauty on twelve sims and get her charisma to level ten.

Jesse gets a job as a firefighter. Erin signs up to be an alchemist. Bryce's LTW is to reach the top of the psychic (mystic branch) career path. He's not interested in working for a while, but he eventually wishes to get the job.

Things develop quickly with Erin and Bryce. I wanted to see what they'd do on their own, planning and hoping for her to have kids from both of them.

I quickly realize I need to get her the 'no jealousy' LTR because Jesse flirts too.

Then he more than just flirts.
Even though I made this Erin a family oriented sim, she has no interest in making babies. I install woohooer, but it takes me forever to figure out why it's not working right.

I work on the house, adding a second floor with hopes to one day fill it with kids. I worry that Erin will never get pregnant, and it's not that I haven't tried. I used the loophole several times that she could turn a regular woohoo wish into a try for baby wish, but it never works. So, I end up giving them ALL the fertility LTR. (bad idea, by the way!)

Erin gets pregnant. I'm thrilled. Bryce is the daddy.

She goes into labor when Jesse ages to mature adult. Life span set to long: yes, it takes that long for her to get around to making another generation.

Triplets! Michelle, Robert, and Natalie. All genies.

Michelle

Robert

Natalie

It's a crazy house for a while with three babies and then three toddlers. I don't want Erin to get preggers any time soon.

Which means, of course, that she does. This time, Jesse is the daddy.

Twin boys! I let Jesse name them: Zeus and Poseidon. Yeah, Jesse doesn't have an ego. ....

Zeus

Poseidon... or Sid for short.

Fertility LTR: NEVER again!

Finally, the triplets age up.

I need Erin to choose a husband now that she's had kids with both guys. I decide that the next one she talks to (not to her) wins.

Jesse.
(and I have NO IDEA what's going on with Zeus' neck! It fixed itself right after but...weird)

Bryce ain't happy. Jesse kicks his butt. Don't mess with a fireman, you crystal ball gazer!

Bryce's heart is broken.

Erin works on her LTW, creating temporarily-ugly sims all across the 'hood.

Having had time to heal, Bryce starts flirting with Erin again, even though she and Jesse are going steady.

...and then engaged.

Bachelorette party. The entertainment is firemen. I laughed and laughed at the irony. Jesse and Bryce both show up, and everyone has a good time.

The twins age to child. Yay! No more baby/toddler chaos!

Jesse's bachelor party. He only has eyes for Erin.

Then, an AWFUL bug happens in which I have to move them out. Then, I discover I can't move Bryce with them because one sim is pregnant, and that counts as two....
WHAT?!
I'd had no idea Erin was preggers again. So. Very. Angry.

After much back and forth, I build them this crap house with the blueprint thingy.

The triplets age up. That's a horrid pic of Michelle. I didn't take one after her makeover, but I gave her the same hair as toddler and child.

Time to pick an heir....I don't want it to be the new baby because I don't want to wait that long in this insanity which is about to get worse with a new baby. I narrow it down to Natalie or Sid. Then, I ask Siri to flip a coin. It lands on its side. -.- I ask again. Heads=Natalie.

So, now, I want to hurry up and finish Erin's LTW and focus on Natalie.

Then, the game pulls this crap on me. Erin has TRIPLETS AGAIN! June, May, and Julio. May is a fairy. June and Julio are witches. The household drives me nuts. The constant phones and babies crying make me crazy.

I hatch a plan... If I can get all Natalie's saved wishes gone and not put new ones in the spaces, I can move her out to live with Bryce. Barely-legal loophole.
