In the last time Elvira had baby girl Little Elvira, crossing off the E child for Zed’s generation and joining other siblings Zia, Zimos and Zelda.

 photo Screenshot-512_zps055be208.jpg

And we did not waste any time with the final baby. This is going to be a short chapter.

 photo Screenshot-513_zps44ae42d7.jpg

Zelda reaches level 5 of the logic skill while Zimos enjoys some time off, I don’t want them all skilling all the time. Whatever will I do later?

 photo Screenshot-514_zps323fde8e.jpg

Then Zia rolls up the LTW of Renaissance Sim, so she goes and maxes logic, painting and finally writing.
Another LTW down. This unfortunately means she won’t be heir because, what would I do with her?
Also, there probably won’t be an heir poll this time because I think I know who I want to be the heir. But I’ll keep it a secret for now.
Furthermore, I’m counting the kids reaching their LTW as gaining points worthy, but people can disagree if they feel it shouldn’t be awarded.

Mama Elvira is absolutely sick of having child with the same name as her, or just children in general. But Little El grows up into a toddler, isn’t she a doll?

 photo Screenshot-518_zps98ab0474.jpg

And doon after, Elvira pops and Baby D is officially almost here!

Triplet spam of them not doing anything at all. For once, I am so grateful for Imaginary Friend dolls taking up their time.
Oh, and how annoying Wozny and Fiona are, constantly waking them up.

 photo Screenshot-520_zpsf03779e1.jpg
 photo Screenshot-521_zps775beec0.jpg
 photo Screenshot-528_zps78658df5.jpg

Some toddler Elvira spam just to note that she did complete all of her toddler skills and even got a few books in etc.

 photo Screenshot-533_zpsa2097449.jpg

Then I bought the World Bundles disc
So these Muses moved to Hidden Springs (after a crash of course, but whatever. I don’t hold no grudges)
I accidently left the ghosts at home and didn’t bring any of Zed’s siblings, I’m cold hearted but it’s how I roll.

 photo Screenshot-531_zps03146fc8.jpg
 photo Screenshot-532_zps55052f83.jpg

I built them a beautiful house (well, I like it)
But the images aren’t really working on my computer, I put them there in case it’s just my computer being an arse. I’m also sure I took more photos of the house but they don’t exist so…

 photo Screenshot-534_zps40549257.jpg
 photo Screenshot-535_zpsbaf966c4.jpg

And one of the first things Zimos goes and does is complete his LTW (freshly chosen to be his LTW) of Illustrious Author.
Nice, two kids have completed their LTW before both of their parents.
Another child not viewed as heir worthy by me … Although I was kind of excited about the ‘M’ and ‘S’ children he could potentially create.

 photo Screenshot-536_zpse45ac6a3.jpg

Then it got to the end of the first day and I realised, I haven’t built a bathroom!
What a rookie mistake. I was genuinely shocked at myself and then panicked because I didn’t want to add anymore to the house layout.
So the room in the above pictures that has the science machine and the chemistry lab – they got moved and th spiral staircase deleted so my sims could have those basic requirements like a toilet.

 photo Screenshot-537_zps472c985a.jpg

I made a girl room and a boy room with equal amounts of toys, yet the girls still choose to go in Zimos room.

 photo Screenshot-538_zps668f349c.jpg

This photo hasn’t worked for me … but based on the next slide, Elvira goes into labour!
At 8am in the morning so the triplets cancelled going to school and Zed cancelled going to work to scream and shout.

 photo Screenshot-539_zpsdaf24680.jpg

And meet final baby Duke Muse!

Short chapter I know, but what can I do?
Next time you will see a lot of birthdays as I grow up all 5 kids into teenagers and decide if I want to have an heir poll or not.

NGC Elvira

Last time Elvira here gave birth to triplets: Zia, Zelda and Zimos! Since it happened on a holiday she was rolling up wants to lounge and swim so this is what she did when the triplets weren’t even a day old.

Also in advance I apologise if there are more spelling mistakes to pretend to overlook this chapter than usual. I think my keyboard’s batteries are running out so they are helping me co-write this part.

 photo Screenshot-475_zps99b97105.jpg
 photo Screenshot-476_zpsd233300d.jpg

The baby days weren’t very exciting. Elvira and Zed constantly rolled up wants to rock with a baby so that’s basically all that happened.
With Elvira sometimes stealing candy since she is Evil.

 photo Screenshot-477_zpse78e1eaf.jpg
 photo Screenshot-478_zps25eac25f.jpg

Zed is still suffering the longest Midlife Crisis that I’ve ever witnessed.
So sometimes I indulge in his wishes and let him get silly things like make overs or a new car.
But I’m not very good with this Midlife Crisis thing so it will be fun to see how it turns out.

 photo Screenshot-479_zps8f2d8ec9.jpg
 photo Screenshot-499_zps6eb9edce.jpg

Another annoying thing that started happening. Ghosts occupying the rocking chairs, making Elvira or Zed cancel the long list of actions to help care for the triplets.
And there is two rocking chairs

 photo Screenshot-480_zpse95e6c8f.jpg

After the longest three days (it might have been two and I cut out a day or so) A party is thrown for the triplets.
I don’t remember what order they went in if I’m being honest.

 photo Screenshot-485_zps89576c15.jpg
 photo Screenshot-486_zps18f29b54.jpg

Now, I know for definite the boy is Zimos. Hahahaha. Let’s get real.
The toddler with blonde hair is Zia and Zelda inherited her mothers reddish brown hair.
It was a party, but the guests were too interested in the rookie playing guitar instead of the babies.

 photo Screenshot-489_zpsd65a8e1c.jpg

I set up a room like this so the toddlers went around acompleted most of these as well as being fully skilled on the xylophone and were taught to talk, walk and go potty.
We also cancelled the maid so he’s stop putting the books away – Does this look like an accidental mess?!
However, I feel like you want to see a montage / toddler spam bit for the next couple of minutes.
Cue the music.

I don’t mind waiting while you open Eye of the Tiger on youtube, honestly. It really improves this next part.

So not only were these three the cutest they were also on the same eating and sleeping schedule. The easiest trio ever!

 photo Screenshot-494_zps0d847a9a.jpg
 photo Screenshot-495_zps47037f57.jpg
 photo Screenshot-496_zps92a63d83.jpg

There was another break into the household.
That burglar is a rookie, no one breaks into a vampire household unless they can take them. Have you never even played video games?

 photo Screenshot-497_zps5225fd7b.jpg

Also, in other sad news, Mr T died! Everyone mourned for days until I realised I had to clean the tank to get them to stop

 photo Screenshot-500_zpse16c035d.jpg

BAM! Next baby is due!
Since the toddlers are all skilled up and on the eve of their birthdays I decided it was time to introduce another child into the mad house.

Speaking of birthdays…

 photo Screenshot-501_zps7ba8e818.jpg
 photo Screenshot-502_zps17621f9b.jpg

Zia

 photo Screenshot-503_zps94d78f70.jpg

Zimos

 photo Screenshot-504_zps20b83532.jpg

And Zelda.
The Derplets.

 photo Screenshot-505_zps267d6dde.jpg

And here they are post hair make over.
(I do not have the time for outfits, but look how colour coordinated they look on their own)

 photo Screenshot-506_zps5a7daf55.jpg
 photo Screenshot-507_zps23430f51.jpg

Zia quickly gains 5 skill points in Logic and Painting
(More than 5 actually, but 5 is all that matters right now)

 photo Screenshot-508_zpsca65210a.jpg
 photo Screenshot-509_zpsf266c7b5.jpg

Then Zimos gets 5 skill points in Writing and Logic
You know, last generation not a single one of the kids completed the helicopter parent points as children and this generation just sweeps it under the rug. Vampire children, eh?

 photo Screenshot-510_zps5d05abb0.jpg
 photo Screenshot-511_zps49ed3289.jpg

Then Elvira gives birth to little girl Elvira! Whom I shall be calling, from here on in, Lil’ El or Little El or maybe just even El just to avoid confusion.
It’s kind of a Cathy Linton moment and now you’ll all suffer that Wuthering Heights feeling whenever someone mentions Catherine / Cathy’s name
WHICH ONE DID YOU EVEN MEAN BRONTE?!

I do not miss English Literature, that’s for sure.

NGC Zia, Zelda & Zimos

NGC Zia, Zelda & Zimos

 photo Screenshot-458_zps0491bd28.jpg

Welcome back, smells like new generation doesn’t it!
Last time Zed was declared heir so we got rid of all them other spares and he now lives in the household with wife Elvira. Wozny is also still alive and kicking but has just lost his wifey, Fiona.

 photo Screenshot-455_zps72b1c38f.jpg

Of course one of the first things to happen is a burglary. Even though Elvira is in the criminal career – surely we should be exempt since she is practically this guys boss.
Unless he is freelance…
Let’s stop focusing on sim politics and get down to the challenge!

 photo Screenshot-454_zps9a33876a.jpg

Speaking of Elvira, she seems to always get caught on the days when she should be getting a promotion.
I’ve decided to let Zed and Elvira climb the ladder a bit, get them to at least level 5 in their careers before the bairns come along.

 photo Screenshot-459_zps498289cf.jpg

Ghostly Fiona comes for a visit.

 photo Screenshot-460_zpsf51d302f.jpg

Which then encourages Wozny to visit her :(
To be honest at this point I was insulted that he went and lived to the ripe old age of 99 days. No broken heart syndrome? You wait a whole 9 or 10 sim days before joining my simself.
Pfft. Wasting my youth here.

 photo Screenshot-461_zps8542f53f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-463_zps39b2c617.jpg

No, I do miss him (for the first few days, till you know the ghost hauntings become a regular affair)
Wozny and Fiona Muse – Founding generation of my NGC.
Wozny managed to master the Athletic, Gardening, Handiness, Guitar, Piano and Fishing skills (you know, with that 10 days worth of free time)
While Fiona only mastered Athletic and Writing.
I’m only taking note in case it’s later added that this is important. As author of the rules I can’t really see it happening but this is the just in case.

 photo Screenshot-456_zps7cb9a9c7.jpg
 photo Screenshot-462_zpsfed538d0.jpg

So Zed speaks to a genie about having a large family and then he and Elvira do the bubbly deed.

 photo Screenshot-464_zpsb7718341.jpg

And baby Z is on the way.
Even though the titles totally give it away as to how many and what sex the baby/babies are

 photo Screenshot-465_zps42eddcc3.jpg

Zed is able to determine the gender of the baby, being at Level 6 in the Medical profession.
He says it will be a girl! Good thing we just decorated the room blue then ¬__¬
Note to future self: Determine the gender before decorating the child’s room.

 photo Screenshot-466_zps6e2308d9.jpg

And a couple of days go by with nothing majorly happening.

 photo Screenshot-467_zps7a96ed25.jpg
 photo Screenshot-468_zps7fb7f22e.jpg

Then when Elvira is full to bursting with babies I grow Zed up into an adult.
We welcome his new midlife crisis. No big deal except vampires MLC go on for like 24 days I think it was.
I’ve played ahead and he still hasn’t gotten over it … and I’ve played a head a lot

 photo Screenshot-469_zps4b8e8a6d.jpg
 photo Screenshot-470_zpsf6f46855.jpg

Then Elvira brings home a basket! Inside we have:

 photo Screenshot-471_zps1bdfc0a5.jpg

Zimos
Named after a pimp from Saints Row the Third

 photo Screenshot-472_zps02b45577.jpg
 photo Screenshot-473_zpsc78be3b1.jpg

Zelda & Zia.
Which one is which? I have no idea. All three are vampires though.

And that is all she wrote … For now.

NGC Wozny’s Heir

NGC Wozny’s Heir

 photo Screenshot-259-1_zpsdc5bebfc.jpg

This is my simself checking the poll on boolprop! My it’s a close one. This is the chapter where I shall reveal the heir!
But of course I’m going to do that clever writing thing called suspense and not tell you straight away. I am just full of sass!

And also, because currently the heir poll isn’t complete. Why did I do it for 10 days?! 10 DAYS!? Do I just want myself to be unhappy?!
Anyway, I played for as much as I could edge forward without getting Wanda, who just turned into a YA, too old in case you know, she lost loads of time and had to somehow squeeze out 5 kids.

 photo Screenshot-260-1_zps29324aa2.jpg
 photo Screenshot-261-1_zps2c5e05b6.jpg

Of course we have to start off the chapter with a birthday. It’s Fiona’s and Wozny’s birthdays into elderhood!

 photo Screenshot-262-1_zps2123341f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-263-1_zps68b0b8ea.jpg

Aren’t they precious?
Take it all in now because we probably won’t see much of them. I don’t really like elders too much.

 photo Screenshot-264-1_zps101b915a.jpg
 photo Screenshot-265-1_zpsd7549103.jpg

Since Fiona topped her career she retired straight away. She’ll just focus on writing and painting for something to do.
Soz Woz, you have a little bit more to go!

 photo Screenshot-266-1_zps4b802b5c.jpg
 photo Screenshot-267-1_zpseab2c10e.jpg

Sebastian Striker was Wanda’s high school sweetheart and well, he looks interesting enough that if Wanda is crowned heir he can help make some weird babies.

 photo Screenshot-268-1_zps721bcd3a.jpg
 photo Screenshot-269-1_zps9fb06859.jpg

Like a pro, she runs through all those major events in one night but stops at engaged. Safe enough to keep other women away but not living in the house yet.

 photo Screenshot-270-1_zps42fee798.jpg

Wozny works hard on getting promoted and Fiona works hard to earn money. They actually have a lot of money for a founding generation.
We’re saving up for some exciting redevelopment of the household, later.

 photo Screenshot-271-1_zps268cbe12.jpg

Zed is absolutely chuffed when he tops his career.
Look at that face! He is proud as punch.

 photo Screenshot-272-1_zps7d4b5673.jpg

That is more like it!

Wozny reaches his LTW of becoming a Robot-Creature Cross Breeder!
No retirement yet though Woz, if you just stick at it for one more promotion you’ll save me the time and effort of having to get another sim try and do it :)

 photo Screenshot-273-1_zps44697e10.jpg
 photo Screenshot-274-1_zps35b3dc87.jpg

Otis derped up into a YA! He didn’t manage to top his teen career but, we can’t have it all.
The pattern so far for teens is to complete either their career or get on the honor roll for 3 days. Never both. Lazy kids.

 photo Screenshot-275-1_zpsaac330ab.jpg

Then he runs off to join the criminal career so he can work towards his LTW of being a Master Thief. Of course this is yet another income to the already rich household. And I hate having so much excess money.

 photo Screenshot-276-1_zps579f6755.jpg

Fiona is so like me in so many ways (Hey isn’t that great, she is your simself after all) OKAY THANKS READERS. Enough of your sass.
I think she favours Zed, just like me. Hahaha.

 photo Screenshot-277-1_zpsf137b1a7.jpg
 photo Screenshot-278-1_zpsfee6a5a7.jpg
 photo Screenshot-279-1_zpsb1128272.jpg

Then, I try to set Otis up with someone. One less thing to do later.
She was younger when we invited her over I swear.
So Otis gets on his logic skill to make that woman younger.
Until I realise we are hardly scarce for choice here at Bridgeport. Otis doesn’t have to settle!!

 photo Screenshot-280-1_zps6d7d287c.jpg
 photo Screenshot-281-1_zps1a772d8f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-282-1_zps3ecc08ee.jpg

Then the heir poll was up still with like 8 days to go. So I built them a lovely new house (well added on to it)
So those are the before shots, and below is  what I did to be like YAY I’m playing sims, but not really because time is just so precious for these kids right now.

 photo Screenshot-283-1_zpsbc4722b7.jpg

And a little after taste.

 photo Screenshot-284-1_zps6fef9eeb.jpg

It was all well and good until I realised how inconveniently I placed the chimney. Right in front of the stairs.
And I’d run out of money momentarily…

I can play a little more right? No harm in actually just playing with my sims is there…

 photo Screenshot-285-1_zps0e601242.jpg
 photo Screenshot-286-1_zpsf8d3336a.jpg

Otis meets this beaut Peyton out somewhere. So I wake up all the boys to meet her. She will hopefully stay young long enough for one of them to plant the seed if they are heir.
HEY-OH

She grew into an elder a few days later.

 photo Screenshot-287-1_zps0e4ca66a.jpg

I think I actually made the house too big. It scares me.
It’s also full of basic stuff still so a lot of things break … Constantly.

 photo Screenshot-288-1_zps7c545e98.jpg

Wanda went on a date with Sebastian. How cute, thinking about their wedding.

 photo Screenshot-289-1_zpsb340173f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-290-1_zps0bd73386.jpg

Then I just went and made the decision to get them married. Right there in front of the school (Great location for a date? You saw it here first)
He fills the last space in the house and undoubtedly will bring in another income when he gets a job. This is my cunning plan you see, with Sebastian in, and I only want him there temporarily, I won’t play with them until the heir poll is over.
Smart move. Good going genius!

 photo Screenshot-291-1_zpsd3e1a3ce.jpg
 photo Screenshot-292-1_zps8d86efae.jpg

So next time I went on (and the heir poll was still happening, I just can’t keep away!) I had to just build on to the house and ran out of money.

Okay, enough of this pitter patter, let’s take some risks!!

 photo Screenshot-381-1_zps81de9ed5.jpg
 photo Screenshot-382-1_zpsde52d9a0.jpg

I make a bold move and move Wanda, Sebastian and Otis out of the house. Currently, Wanda has no votes anyway and Otis has one. It’s sad to say but I don’t think many more votes will be cast and it does look like a race between the younger three, who all have 2 votes each at this point.
I simply can not do a three-way heirship so I hope we get a couple more votes.

 photo Screenshot-384_zps0b3914dd.jpg
 photo Screenshot-385_zps3ef2da65.jpg

Wozny finally made it to Mad Scientist and just retired right there and then. I don’t know what he’ll do in his spare time, maybe grow a garden or something?

 photo Screenshot-386_zps344427c2.jpg

Zed, Nieva and Yoel are all suffering at work and school because they all work at the cemetery as well as having a couple of after school activities.
I want my children to SOAR.

 photo Screenshot-387_zps0ee11ca7.jpg

Turns out that this is where Otis, Wanda and Sebastian live. I don’t know who sleeps where though and why they seem to think they have enough space and friends to throw parties.
Lame spares.

 photo Screenshot-388_zpsd50fb61d.jpg
 photo Screenshot-389_zpsce85357d.jpg

Zed grows up into a YA, I am hoping that he becomes heir in all honesty and so far he does lead on the heir poll. I even voted for him

 photo Screenshot-390_zps5b0b36ca.jpg
 photo Screenshot-391_zps9c1e1a93.jpg

Wozny and Fiona are quite fun to play be it that they are old and leathery.

 photo Screenshot-392_zps7e616063.jpg

Zed joined the Medical profession (he wants to top that as his LTW) and his boss is Elvira. Even though Zed was tired or hungry I still made him run halfway across town to begin a relationship with her.

 photo Screenshot-393_zpseb547a4e.jpg

Wanda is pregnant. Not thanks to story progression either. I took this into my own hands before she moved out.
She later has a boy that she called Deshaun but I don’t agree with that so if by some weird magic wave of votes she is voted heir, little Deshaun will become little Walt.
You know what, I might just go change it anyway.

 photo Screenshot-396_zpsebc15479.jpg

I let Nieva skip her last day of school since she isn’t even on the honour roll and then Wozny comes over and scolds her, even though he just planned the birthday party to happen at 11am

 photo Screenshot-398_zps36e39f7f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-399_zpse6ea9eac.jpg

Nieva as a Young Adult!
She didn’t top her career OR get on the honour roll. You know I had so much faith in Nieva. I thought she was going to be my ‘smart one’

 photo Screenshot-401_zps3ae9b05a.jpg

Her LTW is to be a Master Magician, so she starts on that.

 photo Screenshot-404_zpsf274e659.jpg

On a family trip out to the festival Elvira finally sticks around long enough to become Zed’s romantic interest. But she ran off soon after. I can’t remember why.

 photo Screenshot-405_zps34d121c0.jpg

But then it was left with Zed and Fiona on a date. BAD Sims! Stop that!
What happened was the whole family was grouped together then Elvira showed up and everyone was like, Barf, I don’t want to be near you lovesick losers.
Everyone but Fiona. Typical mama wanting to chaperone her little boys date.

 photo Screenshot-406_zpse0450fec.jpg

Yoel reached the top of his teen career. He cut it pretty close though.

 photo Screenshot-407_zps5018914e.jpg
 photo Screenshot-408_zps444ccb22.jpg

The next day he skipped school and work to grow up. I didn’t take a picture but he also joined the Magician career. His magician name is Yoelolol, Nieva’s is Nievamento and Fiona’s acrobat name was Cynical Badger but I can’t remember if I told you or not.

Of the five kids, all of them were completely skilled as toddlers, not one single one of them completed 5 skills points of two different skills and even though all 5 of them went to school every day and had part time jobs only 3 topped their teen career and 1 got on the honour roll for 3 days.
That’s some pretty bad parenting on my part.

 photo Screenshot-409_zpsddcf714c.jpg
 photo Screenshot-410_zpscee1cbba.jpg
 photo Screenshot-411_zps358a252c.jpg

Zed and Elvira cement their relationship.
The temptress kept running off so this actually did take for ever in terms of Sim relationships where I’m so used to just having a sim meet randomly at the park and then get married that evening.
A whole sim week to get this far? What is going on.

 photo Screenshot-412_zps75ec3e94.jpg
 photo Screenshot-413_zps6dbdec1e.jpg

I also thought, why not?! Let’s have a vampire heir!!
EL OH EL, JAY KAY I still have no idea who the heir is and you can tell I’m just sticking it to the rules and playing anyway.
I think what my plan is, is to use these few days to get a spouse for Zed, Nieva and Yoel. Let them move in and then we’re all set to make they babies when the time comes.
Meaning, yeah maybe this is a longer chapter than we all thought, but hopefully the next few won’t be so bad.

 photo Screenshot-417_zps4afd63dc.jpg

Then I realised that Fiona and Wozny are constantly rolling up wants for grandkids and are getting such a full life bar …

Yoel gets a good thing going with Priscilla Arnold who was a previous maid of theirs.
It was going well until she aged into an elder the next day.
Come on man Priscilla, uncool.

 photo Screenshot-418_zps2359ce90.jpg
 photo Screenshot-419_zps0449e008.jpg

Nieva has been trying it on with, like, everyone.
I’m tempted to let her have various fathers for her children but she just keeps scoring out.

 photo Screenshot-420_zpsa5f38a37.jpg
 photo Screenshot-421_zpsa5127fd6.jpg
 photo Screenshot-422_zps9fe06eff.jpg

Balcony wedding for Zed and Elvira Muse.
And Elvira runs off to get a job in the Criminal career as her LTW corresponds with that career but I can’t remember which branch.

 photo Screenshot-425_zpsbb88c451.jpg
 photo Screenshot-426_zps312d0fb5.jpg

And Zed becomes a vampire! I realise I should have waited, he is now 96 days from becoming an adult and Elvira is like 50 or so days from becoming an Elder.
We shall have to force Zed up sooner than I anticipated so he doesn’t hang around forever.

 photo Screenshot-427_zps1453aa7c.jpg

But it is all okay because I think they are my favourite couple.
Even though as a sim player I have no favourites …

 photo Screenshot-428_zpscd24d13b.jpg
 photo Screenshot-429_zps0c6048f4.jpg
 photo Screenshot-430_zpsdab8e4ac.jpg

I played for quite a while then … Fiona grew into an elder at the start of this chapter and now she is 89 or 90 days old.
And Grim visited her in the bathroom, of course.

 photo Screenshot-431_zpsae3af374.jpg

Barry Tenderlove is next on Nieva’s list since things failed miserably with Johnny Jones (I can’t remember his name?)

 photo Screenshot-432_zpsf1b2a511.jpg

She also catches Mr Turtle.
I’ve never really played with the small critters so I think I’ll see how I manage with Mr T. (Oh, man that wasn’t even planned. I named him Mr Turtle after Finding Nemo)

 photo Screenshot-433_zps12af9519.jpg
 photo Screenshot-434_zpscbf20b27.jpg
 photo Screenshot-435_zpsebed0b45.jpg

Things go a little well for Nieva and Barry so I rush the relationship along so she is all ready for the next generation.
Everyone but Yoel now, who is talking to a maid again in the background. He clearly has a fetish.

 photo Screenshot-436_zps31f6d24f.jpg

Wozny is still around, but he’s getting pretty old. I can tell the next time I go on to play he might bite the dust. The heir poll is still 3 days away, well 4 technically since it ends so late at night.
I’m determined to just sit and wait it out though, you know I feel like I should, as a real human being, have more things I can do with my time.

But instead I made another founder to start a Pruglacy. I don’t even think I’m going to post about it, but that’s what I did. And it was a good distraction.

Followed closely by a sad and lonely Yoel.

That’s right. Heir poll is over and Zed is your heir! Now we can finally start on making babies for Generation 3!

Last time Yoel was born (haha YOLO) and was the last child for Wozny and Fiona, their other children being Wanda, Otis, Zed and Nieva.
Of course it was at this point Fiona starts rolling up wishes for 10 kids and Wozny wished to have children with Fiona.
Look around Wozny, you already have 5.

 photo Screenshot-215-1_zps370d6270.jpg

This chapter is probably going to be long. We’ll watch all of them up until Yoel is a teen where I will link you up to an heir poll.
(Poll runs till Sat Jun 08, 2013 9:07 pm)

 photo Screenshot-216-1_zps291a1e43.jpg

Fiona now has the freedom to complete her career. Once she does she’ll complete her LTW as well.

 photo Screenshot-217-1_zpsda9ba8bb.jpg
 photo Screenshot-218-1_zpsfcfaafac.jpg

Otis grows up into a teenager and he is the double of Wozny. The hair does not help, it being the exact same style.

 photo Screenshot-219-1_zpsbcc7edb1.jpg

Its sometimes cute but really annoying when this happens without my consent.
As you can tell, Otis and Zed are best friends.

 photo Screenshot-220-1_zps82e420e9.jpg
 photo Screenshot-221-1_zps5e6b946f.jpg

Soon it is time for Nieva’s birthday, again she was fully skilled. She also looks like Wanda I think, but maybe that is just because they have the same hair.
Seriously, look between Wozny and Otis. Otis is a slightly bulkier Wozny.
Fiona laughs at every birthday too. I don’t know why? Maybe it’s her Good Sense of Humour trait.

 photo Screenshot-222-1_zpsd1775521.jpg
 photo Screenshot-223-1_zps14e7eaa5.jpg

Another birthday coming right up!
Yoel becomes a toddler. I had hoped for another blonde kid. Oh well, at least he has Fiona’s slightly sticky out ears.

 photo Screenshot-224-1_zps7562d7d6.jpg
 photo Screenshot-225-1_zpsffcf961f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-226-1_zps6718e0e8.jpg

Yoel is quickly skilled up, because with him as a child, normality will return and everyone can sleep through the night!
He also grew up with plantsim hair which we immediately got rid of.

 photo Screenshot-227-1_zps23301201.jpg
 photo Screenshot-228-1_zps7c43d893.jpg

I hope you like birthdays, this time it’s Zed!
Zed also didn’t get two skills to 5 points, he got 5 Logic points but didn’t have enough time to complete anything else.

 photo Screenshot-237-1_zps0a49be0a.jpg

The reason that there is mainly just birthdays is because not a lot else has been happening.
I keep them busy skilling, especially trying to make extra cash through Wanda’s books and Nieva’s paintings.

 photo Screenshot-238-1_zpsaf87944a.jpg

Wanda, the little hardworker, reaches the top of her teen career in the grocery store! Just in time too…

 photo Screenshot-239-1_zps53211bd9.jpg

 photo Screenshot-241-1_zps8d9b1da4.jpg
 photo Screenshot-242-1_zpsc08da0e6.jpg

Wanda grows into a Young Adult. She literally only needed one more day on honor roll to get us another point.
This happens at the same time Nieva grows up into a teen. Again, just one skill away from having two skills at 5 points. She had 5 Logic skill points and 4 painting.

 photo Screenshot-243-1_zpse03d74f5.jpg

Yoel is only a couple of days from becoming a teen so Wanda might as well stick around. She joins to writer career.

 photo Screenshot-244-2_zpsd97e5ca7.jpg

Fiona finally reaches the top of her career! Even if she isn’t very good at it.
She had been working hard for days to max out her athletic skill then had to do gigs and performing for tips to get there.
This also means she completed her LTW: Master Acrobat

 photo Screenshot-248-1_zps486e29c5.jpg

Otis gets his third day on the honor roll!

 photo Screenshot-249-1_zps5c8ba397.jpg
 photo Screenshot-250-2_zps5bca1fb6.jpg

And finally Yoel becomes a teen! He didn’t get to level 5 in anything, he just played with his imaginary friend doll.

With that done and dusted it is time for the heir poll.
The only officialy heir poll is over on boolprop: here is a lovely link
So please vote there as they are the only votes that I am taking into account.

A reminder for who is up and running:

Previously, Wozny and Fiona Muse had 4 kids together: Wanda (teen), Otis (child), Zed and Nieva (babies) with one more to go!

 photo Screenshot-200-1_zpsb5ecb165.jpg
 photo Screenshot-201-1_zps9f41760c.jpg

Before Nieva has even hit her crib, Zed is caked up.
Generally with babies I wait until the bar says 0 days then cake them up. I hate waiting until the night time the next day. So this is happening in the wee hours of the morning.
He’s also blonde! How cute.

 photo Screenshot-202-1_zps7339bb8a.jpg
 photo Screenshot-203-1_zpseeada521.jpg

They bite the bullet and just get Y out of the way.
I really want Fiona to focus on her career as an Acrobat and it has been difficult doing so without being able to do gigs.
Wozny also hasn’t slept fully since the kids were born so the sooner they are kids the sooner he will be able to sleep right and skill to get promotions quicker.

 photo Screenshot-204-1_zps25e805ff.jpg
 photo Screenshot-205-1_zps2b550cb2.jpg

Not a lot happens for some time. I did extend to have this nice new kitchen/diner with a table built for more than two people.
Also, Otis has an Imaginary Friend which he doesn’t put down.

 photo Screenshot-206-1_zps9b30ceb4.jpg
 photo Screenshot-207-1_zpsae907fda.jpg

The little Zed is fully skilled so gets grown up (again not including peg box and xylophone)

 photo Screenshot-208-1_zps3ad3485f.jpg

Wanda went to prom, was prom queen and gained romantic interest with a boy around the town.

 photo Screenshot-209-1_zps15970151.jpg

We’re still rather poor (especially since I just built out and made a seperate kitchen space) so Zed has to sleep in a sleeping bag for a couple of nights.
However, I do find Wozny sneaking in and sleeping there sometimes

Nieva finally gets to have a birthday. Of course, it wakes up everyone in the already super tired household.
At least she is kind of cute.

 photo Screenshot-213-1_zps85655d4f.jpg
 photo Screenshot-214-1_zps8ce070f9.jpg

Not even a moment later, Fiona goes into labour! The finally Museling of this generation: Yoel!
(I keep reading his name as YOLO)
Fantastic, we got them all out. Now you just have to read about them growing up, and I apologise but I think I’ll be doing it in one long chapter.

This is Wozny and Fiona Muse who just had Zed. They don’t waste any time to get on baby N.
Also in the household is child Wanda and toddler Otis.

 photo Screenshot-188-1_zps6b72db0c.jpg
 photo Screenshot-189-1_zps0e90ea21.jpg

Speak of the devils. I eventually gave Wanda that make over to get her out of plantsim hair.
Otis is fully skilled and is grown up into a child.
In hindsight I probably should have let them max out the peg box and the xylophone to make the children ages easier, but I didn’t!

 photo Screenshot-191-1_zps79489a70.jpg
 photo Screenshot-192-1_zpsaeeed950.jpg

I finally extend the house so it has an upstairs. The wallpaper is still not much because I don’t update everything as I go along. I mainly save money then do big improvements as at once.
I will give the house a full make over (you know, the works) when I have the next generation heir.

 photo Screenshot-193-1_zpsef3230e1.jpg

Baby N is on the way!
Fun fact: Fiona wasn’t initially supposed to last this long. I was going to use her for the first two or three kids then have Wozny date others to get a bigger variety of genes.
Oh well.

 photo Screenshot-194-1_zps705c7349.jpg
 photo Screenshot-195-1_zps839248eb.jpg

Wanda has a birthday into teendom!
Unfortunately she did not reach the required 5 skill points in two different skills so has not made any points. Hopefully she will improve and bring some in as a teen!

 photo Screenshot-196-1_zps0c8537e6.jpg
 photo Screenshot-197-1_zpsace6f20f.jpg

I could tell this was going to happen as soon as I made Wozny make something that required the oven.
Even so, he put it out and the firefighter was gutted she didn’t get there sooner to put it out herself.

 photo Screenshot-198-1_zps62d09942.jpg
 photo Screenshot-199-1_zps65113414.jpg

And soon Fiona goes into labour and has baby Nieva!
I think I might have made this name up, I’m saying it like Neve-ah
I’m glad it’s only one, I had the horrible feeling she was going to have twins to spite me.
Luckily not.
That’s all for now :)

Last time, founder Wozny fathered Wanda and Otis with spouse Fiona.

 photo Screenshot-175-1_zpsfa9dac21.jpg
 photo Screenshot-176-1_zps7b61b41f.jpg

Fiona spends the next day completely ignoring Otis and performs for tips to get herself some promotions.

On her return home she, and Wozny, grow up into adults!
You guys look exactly the same as before.

 photo Screenshot-181-1_zps25ce1cee.jpg
 photo Screenshot-182-1_zps607ebd6b.jpg

With that all out of the way they get to work on the next child now that the days until they become elders and unable to have kids are numbered.

 photo Screenshot-183-1_zpsaf55fa99.jpg
 photo Screenshot-184-1_zps99a5e131.jpg

Days pass and not a lot happens, so soon Otis becomes a toddler.
Which makes it even more uneventful. Everyone is just skilling and complaining about being hungry all the time.

 photo Screenshot-185-1_zps6df1aa16.jpg
 photo Screenshot-186-1_zpsbb1cde9b.jpg

Eventually, little darling boy Zed is born!

I do wish there was more going on but that is all I captured.
Apart from a few promotions and skilling not a lot does happen.

More birthdays and babies to come!

Last time Wozny and Fiona had baby girl Wanda!

 photo Screenshot-157-1_zps7782b56a.jpg
 photo Screenshot-158-1_zps8e1f75b5.jpg

Since the beach lot is miles away from everything I decide to move the family onto the middle of that pitch for that sport… And delete the house.

 photo Screenshot-159-1_zps7c38a537.jpg
 photo Screenshot-160-1_zps7110759a.jpg

They get a new house and I have the feeling it is going to be a hum dinger when it gets complete.
Of course, they ran out of money so inside is pretty basic.

 photo Screenshot-161-1_zpsd586bcef.jpg

Wanda is the most nightmarish baby I’ve ever played in game. She cries constantly.

 photo Screenshot-162-1_zps1de50760.jpg
 photo Screenshot-163-1_zpsffccfcb3.jpg

Woz gets some ink.

 photo Screenshot-164-1_zpsa1974d6f.jpg

Fiona gets a gig!

 photo Screenshot-165-1_zps6e6ac749.jpg

But she only does the one and then Baby O is on the way so I don’t bother scheduling any others.

 photo Screenshot-166-1_zps1128b866.jpg
 photo Screenshot-167-1_zpsfe1ab9d4.jpg
 photo Screenshot-168-1_zps24257bc4.jpg

Whingebag, I mean Wanda grows into a toddler.
This is going to be a fun few days

 photo Screenshot-169-1_zps1437d47a.jpg

Baby O makes an appearance

 photo Screenshot-170-1_zps2c3e9938.jpg
 photo Screenshot-171-1_zps43261b25.jpg
 photo Screenshot-172-1_zps0eea98df.jpg

It wasn’t a fun few days. Wanda is really whiney and needy. She is all skilled up and then I cake her up early earning us an extra point. She grows up with plant hair (?! WHY!?)
It’s funny because even though I can chose her trait (and almost all kids traits) I always just randomise them anyway. Speaking of traits, I will leave Wanda’s and all of the children’s until they are YA just because then I can write them down.

Hey there stranger!
Wozny Muse (son of Ivy Muse from my WYDC) has moved to Bridgeport to begin a new challenge and restore the outside world’s faith in the Muse family name.
Okay, it isn’t the same Wozny Muse we grew up with – I saved him in the bin and recreated him in Bridgeport exactly the same. I was scared the millions of glitches and bugs would travel over.
So this is an exact twin of Wozny. If anything I’ve made it harder for myself since he has lost all his skills, friends, celebrity status. Everything!

 photo Screenshot-112-1_zpse7c7eddc.jpg

Wozny gets a job in the Science career as his LTW is to become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder.
He’s an Aquarius who likes Disco, Egg Rolls and the colour Violet.

 photo Screenshot-114-1_zpsea37d1ed.jpg

Since Wozny is a workaholic he just wants to work from home for his first day.
His other traits are: Kleptomaniac, Athletic, Friendly, Workaholic and Brave.

 photo Screenshot-116-1_zpsebcce2e2.jpg
 photo Screenshot-117-1_zps2394cbdb.jpg
 photo Screenshot-118-1_zps56c1c695.jpg

His first days are uneventful, as they generally are. Work, skill, sleep, eat.

 photo Screenshot-119-1_zps7e6bb392.jpg

So I decide it’s about time to get a ring on his finger. He goes out looking for a special someone.

 photo Screenshot-121-2_zpsfdafc7e4.jpg
 photo Screenshot-122-1_zpsacbdf28b.jpg
 photo Screenshot-123-1_zps6edf336b.jpg

That’s right, it’s someone no one has ever seen before. Who is this mystery woman?
Well, it is Fiona Badger.
I couldn’t help it okay. I was making over Wozny and then I was worrying his looks would get edged out by the townie genes and I was dressing him really cool and I was going to make myself a simself at some point anyway …

 photo Screenshot-124-1_zps17772fc3.jpg

 photo Screenshot-126-1_zps20b2e63c.jpg
 photo Screenshot-127-1_zps6fa72bd2.jpg

I don’t know if I’m making an effort to photograph more or if I am just genuinely intrigued by Wozny.
Also, I have no idea how the layout of this Name Game Challenge is going to work. I’m going to try and end chapters neatly on the birth of babies (similar to the WYDC) but I know this is not going to go as smooth as I want it to.
I’m naming parts after spouses and children because surely they will be unique enough for titles. But I have so much more to document than just kids this time…

Fiona and Wozny’s date was a real success. They call it a night but the next day, earlier in the morning, they go on another.

In a true sim fashion these two speedily jump through the milestones.
Fiona and Wozny Muse.

 photo Screenshot-141-1_zpsc7654add.jpg
 photo Screenshot-142-1_zps3c457c04.jpg

With another Museling on the way.
Fiona gets a job as an Acrobat because that is obviously the smartest choice with all that maternity leave that will happen. Wozny is only a couple levels into the Science career so they don’t have a lot of money.

 photo Screenshot-143-1_zpsf3a543fb.jpg
 photo Screenshot-144-1_zpsc7987ed7.jpg

But there is enough money to move the newlyweds to a bigger lot, unfortunately this was the biggest I could manage to place in Bridgeport.
At least it is scenic.

 photo Screenshot-145-1_zps96e091df.jpg
 photo Screenshot-146-1_zps8f09c15c.jpg

I quickly build them a house but there is a lot of dead space. The terrain is uneven so I thought I’d be clever and put it all up and use all the space.
It just looks hideous

 photo Screenshot-147-1_zps7533378c.jpg

But the bedroom is nice!

 photo Screenshot-148-1_zps9a5fd002.jpg
 photo Screenshot-149-1_zps5577f8c0.jpg

And they like the beach. They swim in there a lot as well as skilling in other ways

 photo Screenshot-150-1_zpsc0f65528.jpg

Bump time.

 photo Screenshot-152-1_zpsdd7bc926.jpg
 photo Screenshot-153-1_zps45364a0e.jpg

They went to the festival to celebrate but you can’t do much whilst pregnant.

 photo Screenshot-154-1_zps9788b467.jpg

Since Fiona can’t get maternity leave she is honing her writing skill to make money that way.
When they can afford it she’ll also use the Easel.

 photo Screenshot-155-1_zpsaad51e6e.jpg
 photo Screenshot-156-1_zps72f841bb.jpg

And, it genuinely catches me by surprise, Wanda Muse is born!
4 more to go.

This is where I shall end the chapter. It is a lot to process, but Baby O should be around soon.
