Owain Windling Gets More Grandchildren
Fourth generation was winding to a close. Owain, my third generation heir, and his wife Adriana were simply counting days. Their children Othello and Ishtar were working on their impossible wants and their youngest Amalthea was working on earning her last few scholarships before college. Mercury, of course, was writing novels.
Ishtar ended up taking a break from her earning money regime to cook hersef a meal. That, unfortunately did not end up working out for her.
"Wow, look at the pretty flames... Eep! Flames?!"
Not my first point loss breakdown, and not my last either! Poor Ishtar I guess I'll have to make it up to her somehow.
"Ooga! Ooga!"
Amalthea earned her last scholarship and headed off to college, that makes all ten kids and earns me two points for an impossible want from both Owain and Adriana!
"No more house fires and monkey sisters for me!"
Next, Iago graduated and moved home, he had already maxed his skills so I just got him in the career for his LTW and then sent him out with Othello to stargaze every night.
"What, more green babies?"
I ended up selling the stairs to the mosuleum which kept the ghosts trapped in there so I didn't have them bothering me anymore. I already had installed a hack to stop them from scaring my Sims a while back and took the point loss. But, now at least Padma's puddles would be easy to clean up as well, or at least centralized.
"The place is flooded!"
Gah! I forget sometimes that when you take a picture in Sims it chops off the top bit and so I cut off their heads a bit, but, nonetheless, it was Saturday again!
Fourth generation, second bloodline: from left to right, across the back are Iago, Ishtar and Othello, on the loveseat are Adriana and Owain and in front is Mercury.
I really hate how, after a night of stargazing, the guys sometimes insist on eating standing in the kitchen instead of going to find a seat in the dining room. What is up with that?
"So, who do you think will be abducted, me or you?" "I don't know, I've got a feeling neither of us are about to be abducted."
Ishtar managed to earn her §100,000 finally!
"Filthy rich at last!"
So it was time to move her on out to her just reward.
"Which involves getting off the Precious."
I had her fall in love with a friend of hers Vidar McCarthy. Time to get in some more baby making!
"Hurray! I'm out of the nut house!"
In no time I had them engaged, married and Ishtar was pregnant.
"I'm so lucky my favorite shirt stretches to maternity sizes."
I swear to you, this is not a hack or a joke, she had twins. A little boy named Emil.
"Time to potty train now? I really gotta go..."
And, a little girl named Grace.
"Now, where's the toilet? No, I don't gotta go, I just want to play in it."
Here they are together, looking adorable, sorry stretch of cute toddler pictures ahoy!
"We can has bottle now?"
"Don't want tickle, Mommy! Want bottle!"
"I has a bunny."
Here they are all grown up into children. Emil had an unhealthy fixation on watching wrestling at all hours of the day and night.
"Kick him to the curb, girlfriend!"
Meanwhile, Ishtar had been pregnant with another child, another little girl, named Lydia.
"Time to watch sports, now?"
Now that Owain had his six grandchildren and was in prema-plat, finally, I decided to go and play college some more. And, at college, of course, it was pizza eating time for Aeolus, Achilles, Volos and Aeneas. Isn't it always?
"So, there's no ghosts here? At all?"
And, as I'm sure the observant amongst you had already guessed, I had decided on my heir. It was going to be Amalthea.
"Finally! Good taste prevails."
Points Earned: Two points for Owain and Adriana sending 10 Children to College. One point for Ishtar earning §100,000. Amalthea earned half a point in scholarships.
Points Lost: One point for Ishtar going into aspirational failure. One point for College Penalty (Ishtar, Othello, Demetrius, Valli, Iago).

Interesting choice for heiress, I would've gone with one of the boys. Although she does have great stats, she is unattractive, at least you got Family!

Yeah, unfortunately both bloodlines are about to get a little ugly because I'm choosing aspiration over looks.
I just learned to dress them to their strengths and they end up looking pretty good, for them anyway. Except, you know elders, they never seem to look good in old age, especially if they didn't look like much when they were young!
That's why I'm glad I have custom face templates in for the adopted kids. They end up being the only cutie pies in my legacy, really! Thanks for commenting!

Aww, Ishtar's children are adorable but Ishtar herself is really atractive so what to expect. :D Great update!
