Before that I had another save where an elemental had twins with Father Winter, one of whom aspired to become a spellcaster while the other one joined the military. Later on the twins joined up again, along with Father Winter, to tackle the challenge in Stangerville. Both were pretty fun saves.

I haven't really done much with the father winter trait yet.

I think the Father Winter Baby trait is a very underused trait. It is a subtle trait, and is most interesting when it is combined with other traits and gameplay. The Russian Fairy tale begs for the girl he saves to be a werewolf or spellcaster and to have come home pregnant as well with some money. And what happens after her sister dies? Especially if she is pregnant. How do the townies react to this scandal and the child that is born? How many illegitimate children does Father Winter have?

All this leads to an interesting child-alone or teen rags-to-riches story.

The traits that I pair with the father winter baby trait are cold acclimation, waterproof, and stormchaser. I also use observant and add a mod to make it even more useful, because Father Winter knows "everything" and in my game that is an inherited trait. Sometimes I also cheat in brave and dauntless. I do not like how much of the dauntless trait is centered on dating, so I often cheat that trait instead of having Sims earn it. This combination is such a powerful advantage along with earning extra reward points, that I usually also cheat in infant_unhappy and erratic as a counter balance. I have Spa Day and my Father Winter Baby spends a lot of time working on wellness activities and skills to stay mentally healthy. This is my version of the Father Winter occult. I sometimes forget that I made most of this up and that it does not automatically come paired with the Father Winter Baby trait.
