Some time ago, @mcrudd created the thread "a different 100 baby challenge". The rules were simple, and the main one was to have fun. In that spirit, I have begun the legacy of Georgina, who is the first of what should end up being 10 generations. I have the game set on long life-span, and I'm not using any mods. Other than raising children, designating an heir and continuing the family, I don't have any strict rules. Georgina has been seen on these forums before; she just completed the millionaire scenario, and this story picks up right where that one left off. Georgina Waller had been trapped on the island of Mua Pel'am as a teen and had to earn money to make it back to civilization. Along the way, she met Reggie Hammond and fell in love. Now a millionaire, Georgina no longer wishes to escape the island. She and Reggie live a rustic life, but she enjoys it.
Reggie takes care of Clara the milk cow while Georgina waters and weeds the crops. https://i.imgur.com/1ITyOHJ.jpg After the work is over, it's time for recreation... https://i.imgur.com/2mVhKRq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/d66fONC.jpg ...or perhaps procreation. https://i.imgur.com/EnEk5NF.jpg With a baby on the way, Georgina asks Jessie Hammond for the family's blessing to marry their sister Reggie. https://i.imgur.com/H71gXRs.jpg With their approval, Georgina proposes to her girlfriend. https://i.imgur.com/4fu5cOf.jpg She said "yes"! https://i.imgur.com/qSVfbdg.jpg The happy couple say their vows in Newcrest Cathedral https://i.imgur.com/JRfirKO.jpg The rice-throwers need a little work on their aim. https://i.imgur.com/316YgkG.jpg After a long day, it's time for a nap. https://i.imgur.com/JnyVzxF.jpg Soon after, it's time for the baby to arrive. https://i.imgur.com/hjVdZMS.jpg Welcome to the world, Lauren! https://i.imgur.com/sjZqeaQ.jpg Back from the hospital, Reggie and Georgina enjoy some quiet time together. https://i.imgur.com/YT5sufD.png Lauren has become a toddler. https://i.imgur.com/dfRSVDv.png
@jbadger12 What a great start! Georgina and Reggie are such a cute couple. The wedding looked beautiful in your chapel. Lauren an adorable toddler! Can't wait to read more!
@TeeSea I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sorry for the long delay. I don't have as much time to play as I used to, during the lockdown.
Georgina is a powerful and highly skilled spellcaster, but until recently, she hasn't spent much time working on her potion-making skills. Now that she has money for a cauldron, she's correcting that deficiency. Unfortunately, something seems to have gone wrong with this batch... https://i.imgur.com/DUPGGXq.png
Georgina tests the potion, uncertain about what effects it may have. https://i.imgur.com/6vlgKWH.png Unfortunately, it seems to have been a charm potion which worked all too well. While under the influence of this love elixir, Georgina visits the Hammond household, home of Reggie's sisters, to use their computer for a work assignment. https://i.imgur.com/ydiYqla.jpg Natasha suddenly finds Georgina irresistible... https://i.imgur.com/ekYj3M1.jpg A few days later, an angry Nicolette Hammond arrives to confront Georgina. https://i.imgur.com/14uZsBA.jpg Georgina informs her that the situation is worse than she thought, but vows to set things straight. https://i.imgur.com/014eNnm.jpg When it's time, Georgina travels to the hospital alone. https://i.imgur.com/BYljVFj.jpg Introducing Phoebe Waller-Hammond: https://i.imgur.com/uRxvtaO.jpg Having already talked things over with Reggie, Georgina apologizes to Natasha. https://i.imgur.com/VhE8kak.jpg Reggie wasn't sure how she would feel about Phoebe, but she managed to find room in her heart for such a sweet, innocent little baby. https://i.imgur.com/p8MCKL2.png Soon, Phoebe grows into the toddler phase. She isn't bossy, she's a natural leader... https://i.imgur.com/jYr2zhl.png In the meantime, some of the other Hammond sisters have found partners. Jessie introduces Reggie and Georgina to Cassandra (formerly Goth). Natasha is still feeling a little frosty. https://i.imgur.com/oK8Cl2h.jpg Later, Georgina visits Silvia and her beau Johnny at his place in Oasis Springs. https://i.imgur.com/xN91XFz.jpg Reggie and Nicolette catch up while the toddler cousins talk. https://i.imgur.com/yoqodXQ.png
Georgina and Reggie try to convince Caterina Lynx that she needs more kids (and fewer cats). https://i.imgur.com/armoihi.jpg Georgina runs into the Caliente family, and introduces herself to Don Lothario's teenage daughter Soraya. https://i.imgur.com/cMECpdg.jpg
@jbadger12 Plot twist I was not expecting! Georgina should test unknown potions on other sims in the future. I'm glad Reggie was able to find room in her heart for Phoebe. Phoebe is an adorable toddler...LOL she's just a natural leader :D It looks like things have worked out in the end. It's great that Georgina and Reggie's kids have cousins. I firmly believe that Caterina Lynx only needs one kid who is destined to be just like her. ;) What a great update! Enjoyed it a lot. I hope you get more time to play in the near future. Thanks for sharing.
@TeeSea I think this may be a weekend thing for a while. It was announced at the office this week that we're low on headcount, so it's acceptable to work more than 50 hours a week, if we need to.
Meanwhile, back on the island, it's Baby Season. Reggie's sister Jacklyn, now married to Malcom Landgraab, tells Reggie she's expecting. https://i.imgur.com/1wEjggP.jpg
While on a visit to the library in Windenburg, Reggie learns that Silvia is also in the family way. https://i.imgur.com/TQ9Yjmx.jpg Georgina reads a story to Lauren and Phoebe. https://i.imgur.com/45rtPJu.jpg Somebody's not having a very good day. https://i.imgur.com/9CIJUmE.png On the way home, Georgina drops in on Nicolette and Caterina. https://i.imgur.com/L9igDdN.jpg Reggie insists that they also stop at her sister Maricela's house, where they are greeted by Summer Holiday. https://i.imgur.com/vDV0I7e.jpg The next day, Cassandra comes to visit. "So, when are you and Jessie going to have a kid?" Georgina asks. https://i.imgur.com/V2Szr5a.jpg Later in the week, Lauren maxes out her toddler skills. Georgina helps her blow out the candles. https://i.imgur.com/rv5wMdz.jpg Although it may be hard to tell in this picture, Lauren inherited Georgina's distinctive nose. https://i.imgur.com/OcQD4Rk.jpg Reggie! There are children present! https://i.imgur.com/7LeCcYT.jpg Lauren educates Reggie on the mythology of Voidcritters. https://i.imgur.com/atvkTFi.png Reggie educates Phoebe... https://i.imgur.com/NxzeOFz.png Phoebe nuzzles Clara the cow. https://i.imgur.com/8Xab6RD.jpg In a hopefully unrelated event, Phoebe ages up to child status. https://i.imgur.com/a3eTIMM.jpg
@TeeSea It is spring in my game, but Georgina is also kind of a busybody and suggested to all her sisters-in-law or their spouses that they ought to work on expanding the family. Hopefully with story progression, I won't have to take as active a roll in that sort of thing in the future.
Eating a healthy breakfast of magically summoned Mac-n-cheese with the family is a great way to start off the day. https://i.imgur.com/zQBEOQJ.png
Before school starts, Phoebe helps out by watering some plants https://i.imgur.com/yKTaViA.jpg Lauren assists in weeding the garden. https://i.imgur.com/kG9qI0I.jpg While the kids are off to school and Reggie is swimming deep in the ocean, disaster strikes and Georgina must deal with it alone. https://i.imgur.com/J2RaXCq.jpg An exhausted Georgina puts out the last of the fires too late to save the house. https://i.imgur.com/MWbBnIq.jpg Luckily, she has a little bit of money saved up, and uses it to move the family to Tartosa. https://i.imgur.com/UPZvTK6.jpg Georgina can still indulge in outdoor dining and chess, if she wishes. https://i.imgur.com/rYsxbSK.jpg But there are lights and comfy chairs and music, now. https://i.imgur.com/5V1TQ5z.jpg Reggie has found a rocking chair where she can knit. No more sitting on the side of the bed to do it. https://i.imgur.com/FU7ZzHk.jpg After putting the kids to bed, Georgina steps out on to the balcony to take in the view. https://i.imgur.com/i60mZu3.png
@TeeSea I think they're planning to phase in more options to story progression as time goes on. They will need to do some tuning with it, but it takes a little work off of my hands. I went through a few weeks ago and matched up a lot of townies and gave them kids so their families wouldn't die out; now the game can do some of that for me. As for tuning, I've seen the overstuffed houses, too; one of Georgina's friends kept asking if she and her partner should try for a baby. Georgina always said yes. I think she only asked three times, but once they had triplets, so they've got four toddlers and a child now.
Reggie heads out to the cowshed to take care of Clara. https://i.imgur.com/3oHKDON.jpg
Georgina is still learning her way around the new house. She just found a recycling machine in a passageway under the main house. https://i.imgur.com/3RniJ0j.jpg While Georgina tends to her new garden, Reggie heads to the indoor pool. https://i.imgur.com/GECbdPh.jpg Georgina eats her dinner while helping Phoebe with some tricky homework. Phoebe's friend Valeria remembers that she's got the same assignment. https://i.imgur.com/4Wqq6zn.jpg Lauren and Phoebe eat dinner in the kitchen while Georgine assists Valeria. https://i.imgur.com/ZhssmOh.jpg Lauren lets her Aunt Silvia into the house to babysit while Reggie and Georgina go out for Love Day. https://i.imgur.com/DjqEqjf.jpg Reggie is a "Romantic" sim, and this is one of her favorite holidays. She takes Georgina to a scenic spot in Del Sol Valley. https://i.imgur.com/IpQ8Wmm.jpg It's late when the two arrive home from their date. The moon shining down on the bed through the skylight reminds Georgina of the days she slept under the open skies on the island of Mua Pel'am. https://i.imgur.com/f6738tC.jpg
@TeeSea I did build Georgina's current house. A version of it is on the gallery. I named it after Reggie and put it where the wedding venue originally was in Tartosa.
