I love lurking in these decades challenge threads! It's such a treat to see all the old-timey settings! Your family is lovely, and the wedding was beautiful - so sad about the latest update! Hopefully things will be on the up for them now... (depending on what decade they are currently in, I suppose... oh dear.)

I was very happy to know that someone was following my challenge! I'm glad you enjoyed the wedding, I was honestly very lost at the beginning of everything, let's say that the challenge of the decades for me was a little confusing at first, mainly because I always needed to investigate the attitude I should have about the lives of sims lol .

I love all the current Decades challenge threads....I'm hoping the other 3 that have been going update soon! You have good character designs and all I have to say is keep up the good work.

Katherine decided not to get pregnant for a while, but since not everything is flowers, she ended up getting pregnant a while after twins. Her pregnancy was very complicated and due to the poor health conditions of 1900, as soon as the twins were born, she developed a disease that made her infertile.

Éowyn got to know her granddaughters, but a few days later, during the night, she found her lover waiting for her. The next day, while everyone was leaving flowers at Edward's grave, Éowyn died.

After that, Katherine's sisters all went to her house to help take care of the new babies and to say goodbye to their mother. Katherine and her husband acquired a custom of always leaving flowers on her parents' headstones and with that sometimes the two end up being very sad.

The twins just grew up to be babies and the house was filled with joy again. The couple's relationship has cooled off but both are hopeful that everything will return to conformity. Jim recently started learning how to produce wines and plans to open a winery in the future while his wife has discovered a new hobby which is knitting.

I ended up not taking a lot of pictures of the events because it was a little over the top. Basically the Campbell twins had the best upbringing and family they could have had during 1900. The good life they had made them both a little snobbish. Margareth, the eldest daughter because of two seconds, was arranged for the neighbors' son since childhood since her parents expected her to inherit her fortune while poor Amelia would be left with practically nothing.

Despite all the luxury, when the girls became young adults, the first world war broke out and with that, the girls' father died (the mother is almost old). Both daughters had hurried weddings before their loved ones went to war. Amelia was unlucky, her lover never returned and left her pregnant with twins in her new home.

Margareth was also not very lucky, as her beloved Grady was embarking for war and most likely would not return. (I threw the dice to draw whether he would live or not, and the dice said that no sooner will we have a new widow and pregnant woman in the family and that she will need to get married urgently.)

As predicted, Grady went to war and never came back leaving behind his pregnant wife who needed to get married right away so people wouldn't start whispering about him, after all, who would like to marry another man's pregnant widow?

As much as she didn't really want to remarry, being a woman, Margareth was not allowed to manage the farm she would inherit and so her mother went after influential families who had heirs who had returned from the war.

A headstone was erected in the family garden with all the others, but Grady's body was never recovered.

While her mother arranged the details of her upcoming wedding with a man named Mitchell, Margareth remained carrying flowers and wailing at her beloved's grave. At first, all the advances and encounters that took place between her and Mitchell were showered with rude responses, flirting that did not work and sadness. just a few months after the romance began to flow in both directions, but still, in Margareth's mind, she was only doing it because it was necessary and not because she really wanted to.

When she learned that she would be asked to marry, Margareth made the decision to release her lover's spirit so that he could finally rest in peace.

Margareth was asked to marry in the most beautiful and noble place in the city, many girls of that time dreamed of such a request and she had been the lucky one to get it.

Since most of the men were still at war, the city seemed strangely empty and sad. The death toll was growing more and more each day, taking the hope of many women who hoped that their husband or son would return.

The confirmation of her pregnancy did not make her very satisfied, despite being a kind and caring woman, Margareth did not wish to have children, even if that was absurd at the time. Not even the pregnancy of Grady's daughters made her happy, which resulted in extremely troubled months.

His marriage was in a hurry, Mitchell knew that his bride carried babies that were not his, but since her family was wealthy and would give him and his parents financial stability, he accepted.

The wedding took place in winter, before the babies were born and so that the belly was not in evidence, after all, what would they say about her if they knew she was pregnant with her dead husband? On the eve of her wedding, Margareth said goodbye to her beloved one last time.

Shortly after getting married, Margareth gave birth to two healthy girls, none of whom looked like her late husband. The girls had a good life and Mitchell decided to take them on as his legitimate daughters in order to help his family not fall out of favor.

Months after the first pregnancy, Margareth became pregnant, this time by her current husband, but even so she was not able to be happy with that. Over an afternoon tea, she decided to tell Mitchell that their first heir was coming.

Thank you very much for saying that! I'm really happy to know that I'm on the right track.

You have a beautiful family. It is sad they were lost in the war. I love seeing Decades stories.

Thank you! I really suck at rolling dice, my sims usually end up having a tragic ending.

This family is really cute
