50 Foals Challenge - Mystique Family

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my thread :smiley: (I have now completed this challenge - dated 19th November 2017)

I won't post a long introduction but give you a brief run down, I (Narrator of the story) had already created my characters before I found the 50 foal challenge. Testing how to play sims 3 after being a sim 2 player for a long time, to be honest, I had created Maxx as the main character (my sim self) & her Poppy (who is basically only here until she is old enough for him to um…. Move on in his life ). I wanted to start off as a teen, I had already built my house etc before I found the challenge.

As it was my third attempt in character and world creation I decided to alter some events to suit the challenge, rather than start from scratch again, so that I could join the crew who are participating. However I am following through now with the rules, for the breeding etc.

- Rules can be seen here : forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/770712/official-rules-50-foals-challenge-sims3/p4

I also have a blog site for the Mystique Family
I created a website for this challenge and future Sim challenges. Can be found Here - I also have a WordPress page

Mystique Family Tree can be found Here

Below I have a list of the foal count. Foal names are links but sire and Dam's links you can find link-able on my website

    First to age up is Bambi and immediately followed by Thumper.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/oqw8aw143/Screenshot-805.jpg
    Boris who had woken up to find that Valencia had left without a note or anything, was wondering why she left, never even slept there. He was wondering if he had dome something wrong, but he knows that he has to get his riding skills up and concentrate on the horse work. With the foals aging up, the mares pregnant and ready to foal soon, it will be time for new stallions to join. So Boris continues to ride Teddybear and work on his skills.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/tpjqpfcmr/Screenshot-811.jpg
    Paul takes Bambi to the training grounds and puts Bambi onto the hard jumps she is born with level 9 and is only needing a little more work to max out her skills. Bambi without any issues flies over the jumps like a champion.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/id757ltn7/Screenshot-817.jpg
    Amber after caring for Thumpers grooming needs, saddles him up and heads for the training grounds too. Thumper like his half sister needs very little work on the jumping skills. Both young horses now slowly being broken in saddle work.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/591kuyjlv/Screenshot-825.jpg
    Boris gaining up his skills to a gallop now, takes Teddybear up to the mountains, for a nice scenic ride.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/khri8pif7/Screenshot-833.jpg
    They both arrive to the waterhole and see many wild horses around, Boris is amazed just as much as Teddybear is, but his thoughts are still with Valencia. Non the less he proceeds to continue with his riding skills.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/nom1scakz/Screenshot-842.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/70ujpvq43/Screenshot-856.jpg
    Paul and Amber had spent the day training the young horses and are exhausted, before they head off home to eat and go to bed, they sell the horses. Bambi is sold for $11,797 and Thumper is $9,846.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/xyogrlvbn/Screenshot-868.jpg
    Boris decides to do a riding class and enter his first competition with Teddybear budgie, he’s leveled up enough to enter a beginners race and comes first.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/xyogrm31f/Screenshot-876.jpg
    On his way out, the paparazzi happen to want to get some photos of him, celebrity highlights are beginning to follow him now too. With another local wanting his autograph (again without underpants) – yikes….

    https://s19.postimg.cc/g8ms6na1v/Screenshot-889.jpg
    The next morning Amber takes Dasher for some training.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/pt6etjetf/Screenshot-893.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/vu43qkr4z/Screenshot-904.jpg
    Boris and Paul also take Teddybear and Blaze for some training too.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/9i6ax8x6r/Screenshot-913.jpg
    Meanwhile at home the girls decided it’s time to birth their new babies. Louise gave birth to a little colt called Anthony.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/q5xszp9xv/Screenshot-918.jpg
    Thelma also gave birth to a little filly who was given the name Cleopatra.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/hawyp8ilf/Screenshot-942.jpg
    The foals decide to socialize and get to know one another. Enjoying their new home and surroundings.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/rkzdofqgj/Screenshot-969.jpg
    That evening Boris got called to Nathan Shultz’s birthday where he and his cousin spend some time mucking around. Boris being reminded of the time he and Valencia had their pillow fight.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/vhcpkeoar/Screenshot-996.jpg
    After he gets home he helps his parents tend to their growing garden. Boris embracing nature he continues to wonder what has happened to Valencia and why she’s not returning his calls or texts.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/oqw8b0bfn/Screenshot-1003.jpg
    Chivas Regal once again decides to have a nap in her old stable, missing Maxx whom also is no where to be found.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/hnocvg3g3/Screenshot-1014.jpg
    The next day Paul takes Teddybear for his training lesson, and max’s out his jumping skills.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/w6vhwt6ur/Screenshot-1016.jpg
    Teddybear is so happy even when he comes home he shows his joy for jumping.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4wa6owjdf/Screenshot-1018.jpg
    Boris decides to continue to tend to the garden this morning and tries his luck in contacting Valencia.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/pgf0nd49f/Screenshot-1026.jpg
    After he successfully got in touch with, Valencia finally brought up the courage to come over and explain what was so heavy on her soul.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/p3nmh8bpv/Screenshot-1030.jpg
    They both talk to one another, Valencia explains what happened and how she’s hurting that she can’t be a mermaid for him anymore, how she is missing that life and thought he wouldn’t want her anymore. Boris listens to her and feels her pain. She finally agrees to stay the night, even with human legs.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/urtx84ns3/Screenshot-1035.jpg
    The next morning Boris took Valencia to the beach, he had a surprise for her and asked her to look the part of a mermaid. She dressed the part and together they gaze into each others eyes, Valencia is not sure what Boris is up to but non the less she has exciting feelings building up.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/i0fr1oylf/Screenshot-1047.jpg
    Boris takes out the wedding rings and begins to exchange his vows, he wants to show her that she means the world to him, human legs or not. Valencia and he exchange their vows.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/fvve0mceb/Screenshot-1051.jpg
    Now they are husband and wife. But Boris is yet to give Valencia the surprise he had planned for her.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4jisitvzn/Screenshot-1059.jpg
    Boris gifts Valencia with a Mermaid kelp and she begins to eat it.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/vu43qswcj/Screenshot-1073.jpg
    Boris watches as her transformation takes place, watching as she will soon have her wish once again.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/pt6etpev7/Screenshot-1096.jpg
    And she is now a mermaid again, Boris and her embrace with joy. Valencia feels at home with her abilities once again, smiling with joy.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/xlx2lnxoz/Screenshot-1104.jpg
    They decide to go for a dip in the ocean. Sharks swimming around but nothing seems to put them off wanting to enjoy the salt water and Valencia to enjoy her gift again.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/cp0uh0uj7/Screenshot-1117.jpg
    Boris watches as his beloved wife takes to the water like a professional and enjoys seeing how happy and natural she looks in the water. Even though he doesn’t know that joy, he enjoys watching her so happy and at home in her natural environment.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wjmw34mlf/Screenshot-1118.jpg
    While Valencia races around, evening slowly begins to set as the newlyweds enjoy their day at the beach.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/xlx2lod4j/Screenshot-1120.jpg
    Boris decides to enjoy a relaxing moment on a floaty hearing his wife splashing around enjoying herself and recharging her body with the much needed salt water.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wwea9bzqb/Screenshot-1131.jpg
    Evening was starting to slowly set, they decided to have a little fun splashing about before their mini honeymoon by the ocean comes to an end. With Valencia being married to Boris she had joined the family at the Mystique ranch now, and Boris had told her days start early with the horses. So they had a little more time to enjoy before they would have to head off home.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4jisivlpv/Screenshot-1165.jpg
    Valencia decided to give Boris the one gift she knew how to best, to give him the pleasure of being a mermaid also. Boris accepted and began to feel the electric feel of the earth beginning to move under his feet.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/q5xszwzpv/Screenshot-1173.jpg
    Valencia watched as he spun in the liquid light, and waited for that magical feeling to explode inside his soul, bringing the best sensational feelings any human sim could experience.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/mz39gb2f7/Screenshot-1177.jpg
    Valencia jumped with joy, they were both now mermaids and Boris felt on top of the world.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/mz39gaupf/Screenshot-1181.jpg
    They both felt it was the best night of their lives. Together forever.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/r87zigq8z/Screenshot-1185.jpg
    Hand in hand they walked through the salt water Boris feeling the water in a different sensation now. Valencia encouraging him to enjoy his new abilities now.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ipyje56vn/Screenshot-1190.jpg
    They both taking a dip into the ocean and enjoying like as a mermaid as a couple.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/nbunmifk3/Screenshot-1215.jpg
    Once they got home they were both tired yet feeling alive.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4wa6p3tpv/Screenshot-1222.jpg
    After their beautiful day they ended the night with some passion and slept soundly until the morning.


    *********************************************************
  • Amber and Paul had said their farewells to Boris and Valencia, leaving them in charge of the challenge and property. Boris has proven he was a able and capable man to continue on his great grandmothers legacy.
    https://s19.postimg.cc/jfhbqk4v7/Screenshot-1272.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/e42f5u3cz/Screenshot-1284.jpg
    The foals Anthony and Cleopatra finally having their birthdays and aging up into regal young horses.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/rkzdooy8z/Screenshot-1289.jpg
    Valencia had taken Blaze out for her very first ride, she spent most of the morning slowly riding and gaining up her skills. Once they got atop the hill Valencia started to feel a little ill.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/834q8q6g3/Screenshot-1299.jpg
    With stomach pains and nausea she cries out in pain.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6o35k0sib/Screenshot-1300.jpg
    Overcome with the horrible feeling she ends up being sick. It looks like morning sickness has greeted her this morning, unexpectedly.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/lk1ormjcj/Screenshot-1310.jpg
    Boris meanwhile was working Anthony training him in the saddle for the firs time and was unaware that Valencia was feeling ill.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ipyje6wlv/Screenshot-1313.jpg
    Valencia being a tough spirited girl continues to learn her own riding skills and decides to take Cleopatra for her first ride with the saddle.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/urtx8cszn/Screenshot-1337.jpg
    However once again she dismounts only to be sick again.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/vu43qwjir/Screenshot-1352.jpg
    Once she’s feeling better she gets back on Cleopatra and spends mo more time wasting in training her, so that she can join her new owners.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/8fw4ez9b7/Screenshot-1353.jpg
    Boris has spent most of the day working Anthony who is slowly gaining his skill points.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/qvglce2v7/Screenshot-1388.jpg
    Valencia was invited to a pool party and decides to ride to the party hoping she wont be late to the party.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/q5xt00ulv/Screenshot-1407.jpg
    Upon arrival she sadly hasn’t mastered her dismount as such and falls off Cleopatra. Paparazzi wasting no time to capture the embarrassing moment.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/fkdxnlo5v/Screenshot-1411.jpg
    Meanwhile both Boris and Valencia are out and about, Mystique Ranch gets a visitor. Maxx has been missing for some time and came to visit the ranch. Sadly no one being home it is only the horses who are aware she had arrived, but then left.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/f7mjhso03/Screenshot-1418.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/724hjak83/Screenshot-1433.jpg
    Boris was at the EC centre selling off the two young horses, making room for the next two that would arrive soon. Both had been trained under saddle. Anthony sold for $12,591 and Cleopatra sold for $5,698. It was a nice profitable evening.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/j3zvdg8w3/Screenshot-1523.jpg
    When Boris had arrived home he saw a very frightened Blaze, the thunder and lightning had startled him so much he was on the road and panicked.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/p4xkalvj7/Screenshot-1526.jpg
    Boris calmed him down and slowly talked to him to settle his fear down, which seem to work quickly.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6pd3dd20z/Screenshot-1534.jpg
    Boris saddled up and took Blaze with him to Rosemary’s birthday party which he knew he was running late to. Blaze was so fast he over took the ice cream truck and was gaining speed on the car in front.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/5n2wuxltf/Screenshot-1546.jpg
    Finally Boris arrived to Rosemary’s house and wished her a happy birthday. They spent some time chatting and talking. Boris knew Rosemary was poorer and struggled with money, so he wanted to give her something she could make use of.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/mnlt3dlxf/Screenshot-1559.jpg
    Without hesitation Boris gave rosemary a nice expensive gift, which she never expected. She said he was such a kind hearted soul.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/w85fqd65f/Screenshot-1566.jpg
    Valencia had come home early as she was heavily pregnant and was brushing up on her writing skills. She now could only tend to the grooming needs of the horses and while she waited for Boris to come home, she began to write her very first novel
  • Oh sweet <3 @ElijahsBabyGurl9 i hope all is well at home and RL can really be a downer, it's a blessing when we can escape through our sims or even on here for a little bit, but i completely understand and am thinking of you! I hope all is ok and most importantly YOU are ok!! Stay strong sweetheart!!
    Yes it sure has been a roller coaster, i cried so much when my main character died, of course time was coming, i kept a close eye on her aging... but when Louise just brought her back to life i was like WHATTTTT no way.. and cried some more, this horse is amazing!! I couldn't believe it, saying that... the twists and turns that will come out in the next few chapters is just as mind blowing... it's amazing the freewill sims have and what they actually do. Really is amazing!!

    I just read your chapter and commented and will be going into the game to send my beloved Terrwynn some gifts for her loss and painful time without Nick... Such a hard time and heartbreaking moment in her life. Look forward to your next update sweetness and i'm back on so will be posting up new chapters also. Need to finish publishing this one, as i have started two new ones. One puppy challenge... another a mystery maybe? :smiley:

    I'm working on a "life after the 50 foal challenge" story as so much as been happening since i have been back to app plains. I think it deserves it's own story too.. so not sure where or which angle i'm taking things once this one is finished.... an it's not far at all.

    And re Dasher he is adorable, he was such a darling unicorn!!! YES he did and his babies may just be popping up somewhere in another story too :) so many ideas but not sure which angle to take them on so will see once this is finished and I've got my new one to publish the story there too.
  • CHAPTER 8

    PART 3 Return of the founder – foals 43 to 46.


    https://s19.postimg.cc/52d1h212r/Screenshot-2.jpg
    With the evenings raining so heavily and storms brewing, after all the horses were locked up and tended to, Boris enjoys playing drums for a little bit, where Saffron decides she’s going to visit the family again, however Maxx isn’t there to greet her anymore.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6hem68s0j/Screenshot-1568.jpg
    That evening Louise had given birth to a little filly, she was named Fortune, Blaze was successful at being a father.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/vao66wqgj/Screenshot-1569.jpg
    Thelma also gave birth to a little colt who was named Lucky.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/76xei5i4z/Screenshot-99.jpg
    The next morning the foals made the most of their play time, fooling around and bonding.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/pz99lr1oj/Screenshot-105.jpg
    Enjoying themselves so much they both are energetic and pesky little babies.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ea59xs303/Screenshot-140.jpg
    Boris for some time has been trying to get in touch with his great grandmother, he got news from some locals that she was homeless since she got her life back from Grim, when Louise had her resurrected, and no one seem to know how to find her and getting in touch with her isn’t easy either. Boris knew his mother Amber wanted to find Maxx and try to bring her back home, she didn’t deserve to live on the streets, she built this empire and everything around him, that he enjoys everyday and finding out she was homeless and struggling was heart breaking enough. The thought was unbearable, Boris a soft soul and very much like his Great Grandmother, caring and worrying about everyone and everything, he decided he had to continued in his mothers footsteps to try to get his great grandmother back into her original home.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6u60bys5f/Screenshot-142.jpg
    Finally after months of trying, he finally managed to get Maxx on the phone and asked her over, Maxx came and Boris wasted no time in talking to her of how worried he has been and the whole family of her where about. Boris didn’t know her very well but heard many amazing and wonderful stories, so he wanted to spend time to get to know her better too. He wanted to embrace her aura and beautiful spirit everyone so adores. After some time talking with her, Boris saw she was very hungry and weak and asked her to come inside.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/64n7zn1wj/Screenshot-145.jpg
    Over the time since being resurrected Maxx did become very frail and moved very slowly, it took her much longer than normal to walk to her old front door… was Maxx dying? No one really knew yet.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/tiv7bkc43/Screenshot-149.jpg
    Boris came over to help her and they both got talking. He knew this place was best run by her. He began to explain these feelings and matters with her, expressing how he wanted her to move back, but had to get residents reduced due to the council’s regulations. He continued to explain matters to Maxx when he got interrupted…..

    https://s19.postimg.cc/nhxieg7hf/Screenshot-151.jpg
    Valencia was rushed to hospital as she was in labor. Her water had broke and Boris was about to be a dad. So he left Maxx hoping she would make herself in her own home, he left to be with Valencia in the hospital.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/g1y8sr6yb/Screenshot-162.jpg
    Boris and Valencia got a beautiful baby boy which they name Atlantis. By the time they got home, Boris found Maxx had left. He was so worried and tried calling her but no answer, he knew it was late. He was exhausted from the days events, he thought he would leave it until the next day.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6u60c0plf/Screenshot-172.jpg
    The household was busy with so much going on and Boris constantly working on getting his great grandmother back at home. There was some problems with the council regulations that there were too many living sims in the household and another was not permitted to join. So it was time to cut down. Stallions got sold, with Lucky and Fortune growing up they were quickly trained under saddle.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/nctr51foj/Screenshot-192.jpg
    Valencia sold Lucky for $10,452 and Boris sold Fortune for $11,692. His goal was to reduce the household members so that he would get the council permit to ask his great grandmother back home. The stress had been building. And with the challenge almost at an end. It was time to tie loose ends. However the mares were pregnant with Dasher and regardless of cutting members in the household this was still a problem. Boris grew more frustrated but did what he knew best.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/jlk6iijxv/Screenshot-200.jpg
    With the sales of the horses, Boris decided to ask Maxx over once again. In hopes she wouldn’t knock him back again, to his joy she didn’t and she came back to visit once again. She was very fond of him and so proud of him, his gentle nature reminded Maxx of herself.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/5ms2k0wyr/Screenshot-205.jpg
    Maxx knew nothing of Boris’s plans of why he invited her over today. He spent some time talking with her, she looked unhappy and that she has missed the horses. She was in the show business now to survive. So Boris asked her (once he got council permission of course) for Maxx to move in as a roommate. And she wasted no time in accepting.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/m2vxptlur/Screenshot-208.jpg
    Boris was so happy after all the months his mother and he have been on the quest to get their beloved Maxx home, he succeeded, still he knew she was only a roommate but for now until he continued to negotiate with the council, he decided to enjoy a pillow fight with Maxx and enjoy her coming back home.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/jlk6iju8j/Screenshot-221.jpg
    Despite her frail body Maxx still could whoop his butt in a good pillow fight.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/7wg6uly4z/Screenshot-250.jpg
    Their play got interrupted when Louise pushed her way in to nuzzle Maxx and tell her how much she’s missed her.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/5f4fnejeb/Screenshot-260.jpg
    Louise smells her hair and keeps nuzzling with her. Their bond never ended, it’s been a long time since she had seen her Queen.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/dxdvrp06r/Screenshot-281.jpg
    Louise and Maxx just stare into each others eyes, Maxx doesn’t need to say anything Louise knows all the pain she has lived through. But she is glad she’s home.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ldd5dhvlv/Screenshot-285.jpg
    Maxx wastes no time and whispers to Louise, sharing their secrets. Louise embraces all her pain and love.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/cicb301oj/Screenshot-290.jpg
    Embracing Louise and both have their moments of silence, no words were needed, it is all understood and felt, deep in their souls.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/9o95pjk2r/Screenshot-299.jpg
    Louise wastes no more time and blesses her queen to recharge her with some magical love and power, to bring up her sad spirit, yet fragile body.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/402uyn80j/Screenshot-303.jpg
    Maxx feeling that bright unicorn light swirling through every vein in her body, allowing her heart to breath again, something she hasn’t been able to do since she was resurrected, she now felt she was home!

    https://s19.postimg.cc/hgzthk0cj/Screenshot-311.jpg
    Once again the girls just cuddle and snuggle. Louise is happy that her one and only is home and Maxx knows how much she has missed being home, she’s missed out on seeing so much but most of all being with her horses which she loves more than life itself.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/kb2yv0hyb/Screenshot-317.jpg
    Louise has assured Maxx is home. Things will be back to normal now she’s here. The emptiness that was lurking in the air has now lifted, Louise feels everything will blossom again now that her queen is home.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/p9qh9iqw3/Screenshot-367.jpg
    Later that evening the time has come for Dasher to be a Sire too, Louise gave birth to a little unicorn filly, she was named Opal.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/u8dzo3s4z/Screenshot-377.jpg
    Thelma gave birth to a little filly also, who was named Pearl.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/xrzxdxi03/Screenshot-391.jpg
    It was time for Atlantis to grow up from a toddler to a child also, celebrations tonight on many avenues.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/o7gar1d8j/Screenshot-408.jpg
    As expected Maxx wasted no time in feeding the two girls. Both waiting and taking turns for their feed. The girls knew Maxx was someone special and felt safe around her even with the brewing storm above them.

  • Time has been flying past with little taking place of late, everyone doing what they knew best and embracing the days as they fly past. The time has come for the foals to grow up once again.
    https://s19.postimg.cc/wxdds2hwz/Screenshot-443.jpg
    Opal was the first to age up

    https://s19.postimg.cc/y4rbk52ur/Screenshot-456.jpg
    Followed immediately by Pearl. The girls were ready to be trained under saddle.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/so8npx1sz/Screenshot-461.jpg
    Valencia tended to Pearl cleaning and caring for her before she saddled her up and takes her for a ride, then to commence with training.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/mnaysumwj/Screenshot-465.jpg
    Boris did the same with Opal.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ija006bgz/Screenshot-467.jpg
    The girls had a keen buyer for them already so Valencia worked hard to saddle train Pearl so that she could join her new home, Karrkitt has been a friend of Maxx’s for some time and offered to buy a variety of horses, knowing the high standards and beautiful place they would be in the remainder of the foals and adult horses would be slowly moving to reside with Karrkitt’s family.
    As Pearl’s racing level is maxed out Jumping is needed to bring it up as far as possible.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/s3tmn1t37/Screenshot-475.jpg
    That evening Pearl is sold for $11,712 and successfully trained under the saddle with only one more to be maxed out in her jumping skill.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/71tn8y0oj/Screenshot-480.jpg
    Boris works Opal who also has her racing level maxed out and jumping level is 9, one off from being maxed out.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/t63t5lrc3/Screenshot-482.jpg
    Once broken in Opal is sold for $12,590. Both Boris and Valencia feel like they have done a great job tonight. The Girls have gone to a wonderful home, and now they needed to concentrate on the next tasks. The Challenge was truly coming to a complete… nerves were a little high as to what would happen to their lives after this challenge? Although it wasn’t time to worry about this for now, it was still on the back of their minds.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/sgl0t83n7/Screenshot-498.jpg
    With all the stallions and foals trained and sold. It was time to get two more stallions soon, but Boris wanted to enjoy some swimming time with his great grandmother in the meantime. He needed to distress and he managed to have long talks with Maxx, his feelings and asking hers about what she would like once this challenge is over? Her wishes, in hopes he could fulfill them… They talked yet enjoyed the swimming.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/cv3p99c9f/Screenshot-504.jpg
    Two amazing stallions were delivered to the property as the final two for this challenge. They were fast keen and from suburb bloodlines. Boris knew this challenge had to end with a a bang. Although throughout the challenge all the horses that were chosen were of high standard and the foals that came from them were priced higher and carried off the remarkable genes from both parents. These two new stallions were no exception to the rule.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4cu94yvgz/Screenshot-507.jpg
    Tiger Fall came from wolfiemix his fiery entrance and presence had everyone's heads turning. He was very unique in his looks and something Maxx loved was the stripes. He favorite wild animal being a tiger he was perfect to be one of the ending stallions.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/jybkoxmur/Screenshot-509.jpg
    Le Prix also came from Ponylover7 a beautiful show champion. With amazing traits and abilities the excitement has grown to see what beautiful foals these two final stallions will produce.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wcycp8r7n/Screenshot-510.jpg
    Louise doing the one thing she loves most to splash in the water trout, it has been the first time she isn't pregnant and was given a short break. However time was coming for Le Prix to impregnate both the girls.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/fp6umsm6b/Screenshot-511.jpg
    Thelma on the other hand is enjoying the ball. Both mares still young enough but slowly getting older, with these being the last two babies they will have each. Everyone is excited yet sad that the challenge is coming up to an end slowly too.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wcycp9tsj/Screenshot-526.jpg
    Atlantis grew up one more time, was time for his teenage days. Boris and Valencia were getting slowly older themselves, and the ocean was calling them, Both being mermaids, meant that Atlantis was granted the gift of being a mermaid too… but they wanted to finish the challenge. It was the only thing to do before they could start their own lives and head out to sea.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/402uyskwz/Screenshot-531.jpg
    Atlantis thought he would tend to tiger and try out some riding for the first time, however he was getting his mounting wrong.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/7josom32b/Screenshot-534.jpg
    After correcting his position, he took Tiger for a short ride, before it was time to return home.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6hem637eb/Screenshot-538.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/ea59y6noz/Screenshot-590.jpg
    Boris on the other hand has been spending more and more time with his great grandmother and taking as many selfies and photos with her for the memories.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/5bam75dwz/Screenshot-545.jpg
    And talking about things that are deep on his heart. Asking Maxx is she will not be a room mate anymore but move in permanently back to her family home. Boris felt she deserved this more than anyone as he wanted to eventually answer the call to the ocean life.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/reauauslf/Screenshot-547.jpg
    Maxx feeling very blessed and chuffed that she has such a beautiful Great Grandson. She assured him that he is not only the perfect gentleman but a wonderful man in all that he aspires. She did happen to ask him to give her another great great grandchild, hoping he would abide…. Meanwhile Chivas awaits to be petted by her queen too.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/b3aqej0o3/Screenshot-549.jpg
    Valencia worked Le Prix, he was a fantastic jumper so she took him to some racing to build up his skills. Valencia bonded with LePrix really quickly she loved how his elegant grace felt during his rides. He certainly turned heads with his presence.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4cu9535sj/Screenshot-553.jpg
    Atlantis spent more time with Tiger, he really liked how calm and placid Tiger is. Tiger bonded with Atlantis and loved having the attention from him, he could sense Atlantis was a little nervous so he took caution and care of him during their ride together.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ldd5dsdoz/Screenshot-556.jpg
    The rain begins to fall, but Valencia and Le Prix continue to work with the training.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/cicb3ac1v/Screenshot-562.jpg
    Atlantis has been working so hard on his riding skills he has now got to a gallop. He and Tiger take to the country side. Atlantis being a merman found the rain didn’t bother him the slightest.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/r1jg4quwz/Screenshot-569.jpg
    Boris decides to maintain Maxx’s garden and plant more crops. Louise also comes to help out with some of the crops and their growth by blessing some plants in need of extra TLC.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/cicb3ajrn/Screenshot-592.jpg
    That night Maxx takes the time to ride Louise. Who is pregnant to Le Prix, non the less they slowly go for a ride, before dinner time. Louise had missed this and has nothing but her queen on her mind.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/reauawibn/Screenshot-598.jpg
    Tonight the family sit together to eat their meal, most times of late it’s been who ever is hungry grabs a bite, but since Maxx has come back home, they sit at the table once more as a family. Maxx is big on the family eating together, and keeping together, so she is honored this grace. Everyone enjoys a nice chat during their meal but also are exhausted from the days events.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/htr7o0dk3/Screenshot-637.jpg
    Boris talks to Valencia while everyone else has gone to bed. He asks her is she wants to try one more time to fulfill a wish. Valencia loving him so much of course she abides.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ea59y85pf/Screenshot-668.jpg
    Boris and Valencia don’t waste time and go by the hay bale; of course in love as they are, they decide to be a little cheeky rather than the regular routine of having some clean fun. Valencia tonight is successfully pregnant again. Boris has fulfilled Maxx’s wish.
  • CHAPTER 9
    The ending of the challenge, but not the Legacy. – Foals 47 to 50


    Time was nearing an end, everyone could feel it in their souls, and plans were being made how they would spend their futures.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/p61pqjk2b/Screenshot-693.jpg
    The ladies both gave birth to two beautiful foals. Louise a little colt who was named Lancelot and Thelma to a filly named Elaine. Le Prix had become a successful father of two.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/60yggykvn/Screenshot-703.jpg
    Atlantis loves the outdoors so much he spends all his time working on his homework somewhere outside, while he is studying away, Lancelot decides to have a little tumble and roll on the fresh grass.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ej7wl3whf/Screenshot-726.jpg
    Boris continues training Tiger who is ready for the ring of fire, with Tigers skills almost Maxed out, Tiger doesn’t fail any jumps and takes all the challenges with ease.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/scw9a81yb/Screenshot-730.jpg
    Valencia being pregnant spends time working on her art work, she’s unable to ride and is growing bigger by the day.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/trxtz25n7/Screenshot-769.jpg
    Lancelot and Elaine spend their time together like all the foals playing and sniffing around, getting up to mischief, both of them know it is nearly time for them to age up also. And responsibilities will come.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/fy9ha05c3/Screenshot-776.jpg
    Atlantis came out of School, he has brought himself a dragon egg and it was ready to hatch.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/60yggvkur/Screenshot-778.jpg
    While he waited for his pet dragon to hatch he wondered what colour it would be.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/vjqstywpv/Screenshot-787.jpg
    He ended up with a little purple dragon whom he names Karma. She was beautiful and full or charisma. Atlantis wasted no time in playing with her until he had to go back to class or he would be in trouble.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/pk31pqr6r/Screenshot-803.jpg
    After a long day for everyone it was time to retire to bed. Maxx was the first one to crash along with the others.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/b0vwobqc3/Screenshot-808.jpg
    Boris spent time with Le Prix training him further so that he could compete with him, as Valencia was unable to ride and she loved riding Le Prix Boris thought it would be good to give him to some exercise.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/laybnlqib/Screenshot-816.jpg
    Maxx decided to give Thelma a little ride. Thelma and Louise both were impregnated by Tiger the final stallion for the challenge. Time was slipping away quickly from them. {Too quick if you ask me!}

    https://s19.postimg.cc/8wbjnaefn/Screenshot-859.jpg
    The foals aged up and Boris took Lancelot for his first ride and training, he had a lot of work to get done before the next foals were born.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/yf3w0b5pf/Screenshot-865.jpg
    The foals arrived early; Thelma gave birth to a little colt who was named Zoolander. He was a spitting image of his sire Tiger.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/md8i66jmb/Screenshot-874.jpg
    And Louise gave birth to a stunning little filly who was named Steller.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/3xo18r2wz/Screenshot-877.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/sqxl9gjdf/Screenshot-879.jpg
    The foals stand up for the first time and observe their surroundings.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/n2raijcg3/Screenshot-909.jpg
    Valencia too has come into labor and is headed to hospital.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/h1tllgi43/Screenshot-918.jpg
    Boris and Valencia proud parents of a pair of twins, Ryan and Bernadette Whelan.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/k8o554sab/Screenshot-924.jpg
    The next day Valencia wastes no time in riding her beloved Le Prix. Also excitement growing as she knows the ocean is calling her.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4n6tl7b77/Screenshot-938.jpg
    Zoolander and Steller enjoy their run around on the private training ground next door, where they can enjoy their play time and fool around like little foals.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ekhue80sj/Screenshot-940.jpg
    The foals share the story and rumors they heard of how they are the precious last foals to be born in the challenge and that they wont be sold. Both of them excited yet uncertain what their roles will be once they grow up.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/5ph03q6v7/Screenshot-948.jpg
    They waste no more time talking serious and instead enjoy some play time.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/628e9x4kj/Screenshot-951.jpg
    Steller plays chase with Zoolander.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/4afff18cz/Screenshot-957.jpg
    Zoolander chases her and they enjoy their time together on this sunny day.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/8jk5h73wj/Screenshot-966.jpg
    Valencia wasted no time taking Elaine over the jumps, Elaine already one away from maxing out her jumping skills manages to max out to 10. Her sires genes certainly are showing through here.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/fzjf3071f/Screenshot-974.jpg
    Once Elaine was broken in under saddle and got to level 10 in jumping, she was sold for $14, 488

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ao4iiasoj/Screenshot-978.jpg
    Valencia when looking for Lancelot on the training ground, got pulled up by a local begging for her autograph.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/fzjf30u6r/Screenshot-990.jpg
    Lancelot was also trained successfully and sold for $12,637

    *******************************************************

  • Days were flying, seasons had come and gone, it was time for the foals to age up and be the adults to complete this wonderful challenge. Sadness was hovering around the Mystique Ranch now.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wnax5ih8j/Screenshot-1011.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/5cplxm1gz/Screenshot-1019.jpg
    Zoolander and Steller have finally aged up, both now ready for their first bit of training.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/sqxl9klz7/Screenshot-1056.jpg
    The twins have also aged up and it was like ying and yang, evil v’s good. Ryan had inherited the evil traits where Bernadette the good traits, the only thing they both had in common was they are mermaids and love Dragons. Both entertaining their eggs and waiting for their baby dragons to hatch.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/x02bbq237/Screenshot-1067.jpg
    The dragons have hatched and Bernadette got a nice green dragon one that will assist with the gardening.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/p7bnjr3tv/Screenshot-1075.jpg
    Ryan on the other hand watched a little evil dragon just like himself, a black dragon joined him and his sinister ways. Meanwhile Maxx slept through the whole ordeal. She was aging up slowly too and it was a worry she might not live for much longer once again.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/itmkgim37/Screenshot-1099.jpg
    Ryan wasting no time in contemplating Evil, however as Maxx has zero tolerance to that kind of behavior, he has refrained from doing anything yet.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/5cplxnywz/Screenshot-1111.jpg
    Bernadette on the other hand, was happy to leave her dragon behind for Maxx to help her with her garden.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/roner2dgj/Screenshot-1121.jpg
    Boris spent time training Zoolander before he would get a quote to how much he was worth, as Maxx had requested neither he nor Steller would be sold, they would continue their lives at the farm. Zoolander was quoted for $12,878 but remains at the Mystique Ranch. Perhaps Maxx had plans for someone to utilize him for a future 50 foal challenge? It was un known as to why, but Boris didn’t question her and did as she had requested.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/8xlhh6643/Screenshot-1123.jpg
    Atlantis spent time training Steller, once she was trained she was quoted for $12,197. She too has remained on the property at the Mystique Ranch.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/6ezsg7a0j/Screenshot-1155.jpg
    Once Boris came home, he caught up with Maxx and asked her if she was pleased with all they have done, and she said she was. He also asked her permission if he could take his family and leave as the ocean was calling them and he really wanted to go and enjoy his life as mermaids.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/csovjguc3/Screenshot-1157.jpg
    Although it is hard for him and his family to leave. Maxx naturally didn’t have a problem. Maxx had all she loves right here with her, her horses. She got to live to see the challenge she started with her Poppy completed. She got to see 5 generations of children and all grow up, she got to be resurrected and even married a few times. She was happy with how her life had unfolded. She had started a number of legacies without even trying. She was proud of all she has achieved.
    Maxx told Boris that it wasn’t her he needed to thank but all the people who allowed their stallions to be studs to the mares, the mares who all left their own legacies behind and that somewhere more would be continued.

    Thelma and Louise have now retired and enjoy their lives just as horses, Maxx wanted to girls to just enjoy being horses. Steller and Zoolander have since had babies and can be found in the exchange, perhaps there will be more to come of them?



    THE END - OR THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA?
  • CREDITS and a little Interesting information and shots after the challenge has completed.

    Thank you to the challenge creators and for all the people who let us use their horses in our challenge. We truly appreciate it! This story and challenge may have ended…. However the legacy lives on, this is not the end of Maxx and her legacy just yet.

    Thank you to anyone who reads their story and finds it interesting or even inspirational to try out the foal challenge! I have a great time participating in this. This has been my first attempt with sims3 to not only start a legacy, but publish a story and enter and complete a challenge. I have to say not only have I made some wonderful friends, but who have given me the inspiration to finish this challenge and even start a new ones.

    Since ending this challenge Maxx’s family had over populated Appaloosa plains – (with 21 children, 21+ grandchildren, 18+ Great Grandchildren and 12+ Great Great Grand children (and many more pregnancies to happen, I am certain there will be members who will show up in challenges again) Or stories of their own.

    With the over population and crashing my game of late, I have had to move some families to other islands, their stories will slowly evolve. Since I have story progression. Some in game events have taken place without my control. Stay tuned as you just might hear more about the Mystique family at the appaloosa plains : I must add it has been interesting just watching what they get up to, themselves.

    *************************************************************************
    BLOOPERS & other interesting moments.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wysdijkwj/Screenshot-236.jpg
    As mentioned above…. Some events just cannot be explained. I came to check on Maxx and the family and found Thelma had some how helped herself into the house… thank goodness for “moveobjects on” or else I would have had to knock walls down….


    https://s19.postimg.cc/mopyj704z/Screenshot-13_2.jpg
    During Story progression I received a notice that Maxx Wolfgang was old and wouldn’t be around for much longer, so I went back into her household to watch my sim self finally RIP. He daughter Eloise and family were residing with her at the property also.
    I came in the nick of time as she just was passing over to watch the events and finally can salute my sims self for being such a brave and wonderful sim. I have watched and enjoyed her charisma and character throughout this challenge.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/hdb1yl18j/Screenshot-16_2.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/hq2g4or77/Screenshot-20_2.jpg
    To my surprise a death flower Maxx had given to Grim who in turn brought her back to life… I just can’t seem to die as a sim….. lol

    https://s19.postimg.cc/ifl8h1cb7/Screenshot-22_2.jpg
    Once again days have gone past as I've been working frantically to restore and rearrange sims for future challenges as I have now started a 101 puppy challenge, so final sorting of my old world…..to reduce the clutter in appaloosa plains when I got yet again another notice….


    https://s19.postimg.cc/uhgmb5qoj/Screenshot-27_2.jpg
    One again I watch as finally my sim self is going to depart the game of controllable sim life.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/3we3fmqw3/Screenshot-36_2.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/fy9h9rkoz/Screenshot-41_2.jpg
    This time Le Prix who was the stallion I kept on the lot decided to demand resurrection.

    https://s19.postimg.cc/wysdiev5f/Screenshot-47_2.jpg
    https://s19.postimg.cc/uvhyafxtv/Screenshot-49_2.jpg
    Like I said I just cannot die, these horses and animals are amazing their free will and what they can do, my sim certainly has the love of her beloved horses. So on that note, it’s not the last you’ve seen of Maxx… obviously 3 deaths and 3 returns… never seen anything like it!

    She has now been tucked away into another story... so any fans of hers will see her pop up somewhere one day...

    I hope you enjoyed their story and farewell from this challenge.
    I have a new thread with my 101 Vantana puppy challenge started, Feel free to enjoy their story and I hope you have enjoyed this one as much as I have enjoyed playing, creating and sharing their legacy.

    A huge thank you to all the readers, this has been my very first sim3 story/challenge & Legacy. I hope you all enjoyed and feel free to visit my website for the links to the horses & Foals, along with some sim characters.
