I added my new plant sim toddler to the household and changed her name to Petal Jayne.
One of the human sims in the household is named Sarah Jayne and the household name happens to be the Jayne household. I wanted Petal to be a different sim to her original self who will remain with her original family. More to be seen of her in future videos of her household.
When I break up the household I plan to put the humans into a different household than the mermaids and I'll probably place Petal with the humans. The humans might be broken up into more than one household and the mermaids will most likely find themselves in at least two households.
For the moment they are all together.
I don't have all of this on video so am adding the screen shots here so you all know what's going on. I might even add the screen shots to a video as well to keep the progress complete in the video series.
Little Petal waited near the letter box wondering where she was and who would collect her and where she'd go next.
Eventually a huge mermaid named Triton King collected her and carried her inside.

Here is Petal showing off her flower trail.

She has already learned to walk, talk and potty as well as completed her peg box and xylophone skills.

She just needs to read her toddler books before she'll be ready to age up with a cake.
I still don't have a clone of Maya Ocean. I told George to ask her for a DNA sample. Several times. No go. She didn't refuse him - it's just that nothing happened. Maybe the household is too overstuffed. I'll keep trying. It could be we get no clone of Maya Ocean until I break up the household. Or maybe it will never happen. At least we have her original.

I have a mod in. It is one I just recently put in, and it gives toddlers more activities. It seems to be the thing that is forcing puddles to become magnets for them. They find every broken tap, sink, shower, dishwasher etc in the house and sit around it playing in the puddles. It is certainly helpful in that I'm finding lots of broken plumbing around the house that I wasn't previously aware of and can now organise repair crews.
I built a large nursery on the second top basement level. There wasn't any room up above in the top level basement.

Finally I got them all facing the same way towards me.

I'll have to get one of the sims in the household to buy toddler books next.
I put 6 cribs in the nursery on the assumption there'd be more babies/toddlers soon but if George can't/won't get a DNA sample from Maya Ocean it may not happen.
