Venus Windling Has Ten Children
My heir Venus and her husband Gawain had seven children previously: Katharina, Belarius, Olivia, Remus, Anubis, Orestes and Ourania. Now they have an eighth, their third child by blood, a son named Orion.
"Another brown haired, blue eyed baby. What a suprise."
Anubis meanwhile had become a teenager. I balked when I looked up his aspiration and saw that he too was a Knowledge Sim. No wonder I earned so many points from third generation! I once was talking to my father in law about the odds in the game and the "sado-random" chances of things and he told me sado-random or not that I still seemed to beat the odds more often then not, whether it's the chances of an abduction in game or the rolling of a dice from a random number generator website. He's antsy to turn me loose in a casino.
"I'm totally charged."
Now that I just finished talking about my good luck, I'll share with you my bad. Venus ended up getting nauseous from baby number four, or child number nine, just as the food started to smoke. The next thing I knew the stove caught fire.
"On second thought this food isn't smelling so good. Wait, why am I smelling smoke?"
After she snapped out of her swoon and I had snapped her out of her resulting panic I had her help the fire lady put out the fire.
"Yuck! And, I thought the food smelled bad?"
Anubis brought home Pan from school and I immediately had him sit on a love seat and invite Pan to join him. Once their relationship was in the 60s (daily) I had him head to the entrance hall where a stereo was always on, had him call Pan over and had them dance. Normally, if I catch them just as they come home from school, that's all it takes to earn the dance scholarship. By the time their fun is maxed, the scholarship is earned. Orestes also brought home a friend, one of the twins, though I can't tell from the picture whether it's Artemis or Themis.
"So... I bet you don't have a bubble blower out at that old farmhouse, eh?"
Not long after that little Ourania became a child. Here she is using one of the public toilet stalls that I use in my legacy house. No normal toilets for me, take up too much space. :P
"Hello? Anyone here?"
It was time for Windling Gables to celebrate a few birthdays and, of course, the ghosts had to interfere. Poor Orion had to use two cakes to celebrate his birthday as a ghosts ill-timed scare interrupted his growing up the first time.
"Ahh! At least I thought to put the baby down first..."
Here he is, though, little Orion all grown into a toddler and tucked into his crib.
"Night Night!"
The ghosts were becoming more and more of a bother. They were haunting every night now and just making more and more of a nuisance of themselves.
"Hey, that's funny, does anyone else hear something?"
Venus gave birth to her fourth baby, her ninth child overall, not long after that. I named him Owain. For the first time i had something unique, he had brown hair and green eyes!
"Alright, just one more to go!"
Next up Orion became a child, I was running out of yellow clothes at this point so I ended up giving him a blue sweater with yellow stripes.
"Must run! Gotta get upstairs and away from those ghosts!"
When Orestes became a teenager I rolled Family for him (or it might have happened at college, I'm not sure). I wanted my heir to be family so I was trying my best to make sure at least one of the by blood kids was a Family Sim.
"Looks like it might be a life with a ton of kids for me."
I just took this picture of Ourania because she looks so sweet. Since they are, technically speaking, 12th Generation legacy, and in a legacy where aspiration counted more then looks, really pretty Sims have sometimes been in short supply.
"Ghosts are so noisy, how am I supposed to get my beauty sleep!"
After that Owain, the baby that I named similarly to Gawain as he was the only one to inherit his father's green eyes, became a toddler. I gave him his father's hairstyle to boot, though it looks a little silly on a toddler.
"Yay! My jailor's here!"
For some reason I felt the need to sacrifice Anubis to the cow plant twice. I'm not sure if I did it for the next generation or for Venus and Gawain's benefit. I'm guessing it was for the next generation if they might need it since I have no pictures of either of them drinking from the cowplant. I'll never use a teen again though, their age meter got re-set and I had to have him re-earn his grade scholarship.
"Mom says I was supposed to come out and feed you but she didn't give me any meat. Hey, what are you sniffing me for?"
"Thank goodness, safe and sound, now would you mind feeding the other one?"
"Well, there goes my good grades..."
"The Grim Reaper sure is enjoying our business today!"
Apparently the twins really enjoy the new legacy house, either that or they simply enjoy this generation. Here either Artemis or Themis blow bubbles with Ourania and Orion.
"I think it's the bubble blowers personally, but that's just me."
I have never seen a ghost scare a guest to the point where they passed out. In fact I didn't think it was possible, until one of the ghosts decided to take out a hit on Ricky. He wet himself, stank up a storm and then passed out right where he stood.
"Look at the time! I should be going... home... zzz..."
Next, Ourania became a teenager and for her I rolled Fortune. She was so exhausted from the previous night of haunting ghosts and so nearly overslept and missed the bus.
"Can't talk, gotta dash!"
After that Owain became a child, the little guy with the unique eyes has certaintly grown on me, and I'm sure the more observant among you probably already knows who my heir ended up being.
"No sleep... Ghosts kept me up... So tired..."
Here's an interesting glitch that I noticed happens every time a Sim freaks out in a room where a ghost is haunting an object. They complete the animations for the item in their queue right where they are standing. So, when Owain saw a ghost haunt a lamp he plopped down right there on the floor and started getting his jollies with the bubble blower.
"This is so much fun, isn't it Orion?"
Except Orion was in the other room, though the bubble blower, and both boys needs acted like they were both there.
"Hey, Owain, I can't see ya little brother. These bubbles are something else, huh?"
I gave up on having the tenth child naturally because there simply wasn't time, so I got lazy and had Venus adopt number 10, a little boy named Ptah.
"You want yellow? I can do yellow! That yellow won't know what color it is by the time I'm done with it!"
Points Earned: Two for Venus and Gawain's impossible want to Have Ten Children. One for Anubis' impossible want to Max All Skills. Anubis, Orestes and Ourania earned one and a half points in scholarships.
I am now a Dynasty Crafter.

Those points make my head spin--such precision! I really love all the unique names, too. Those little pop ups that come along with the name are nice... not that they're a new feature, but you said they gave trouble in the new IE. Good thing I use Firefox. I really enjoy them.

Yeah, and the thing that really gets me is Overlib, the javascript that I use, is the same script that NASA uses on their website for their pop-ups and I have to wonder what they are doing about it no longer working in IE. And, what they think about Miscrosoft for breaking it so stupendously.
Well, I guess we already know what they think, as all of their new satellites and the new Mars missions are completely powered by Linux.
