Amalthea Windling Has More Kids
Amalthea and Jessie were now the proud parents of six children, the first five were adopted: Gertrude, Gomez, Chuku, Dinah and Karna, the sixth was born by blood, Cerebrus. The five older ones were now off at college working their way through the system alongside the children of first bloodline and a few townies.
"Hey, new girl! You wouldn't happen to be able to lend a distant relative some help here, huh?"
Beowulf wouldn't need help for long because he graduated soon after and was sent back home to get some new clothes, drop off some elixer bottles and head out for an apartment complex.
"Later, people."
With Alvin there Ivy was no longer the only person that had to gain some skills before she could start working on her grades. But, that didn't mean I still didn't forget sometimes until late into the semester, or that when she was working on them she wasn't being bothered by annoying mascots.
"So, you done yet? You done yet? Huh? Huh?"
With Beowulf gone I went ahead and pledged in Vishnu's sister Valkyrie who seemed excited to be at college.
"Better then sitting around and doing nothing in a dorm!"
Soon after Beowulf graduated Derek followed him. Unlike Beowulf he was going to stick around Windling Gables long enough to max his skills before moving out.
"Alright! Where's the zombie?"
Which he did in no time flat.
"Excellent! Thanks Mercury!"
During all of this Cerebrus was still a toddler in the nursery, working on his Creativity scholarship. He got that weird Zzz's glitch about half way through toddler-hood that just wouldn't go away.
"Visibile sleepy time!"
Following Cerebrus Amalthea gave birth to a second child, a little girl that I named Cassandra.
"Three to go!"
Back at college I had Branwen, my heir, settle on a husband. Actually there's a bit of a story about how I got him. I wasn't happy with how any of the current bartenders looked, so I lured them to a spare's lot (Abbey, Harmonia, and Andromeda's I believe) and proceeded to fence them in and kill them. I did this until several new ones generated of the appropriate gender and aspiration for my heir. There already was a male Knowledge Sim but I didn't like his looks and with the default face templates a nice one generated, though he ended up being Popularity I decided it was good enough.
I killed seven to get the current one. I also have two Knowledge ones that are female that generated and I think I will be moving them in, perhaps in another generation or so, to get their impossible want points. They look really cool! We are catching up to where I am in game play, I haven't done that yet!
I know I could have done face surgery on Juan McCullough and even edited his DNA to make it affect the kids but, in case you missed it, by fifth generation I was getting bored with how things were going. Don't worry, something is going to drastically change in the next generation that will re-capture my attention and keep things interesting for you readers too, I hope.
So, anyway, here's the current bartender, a male Popularity Sim named Orion leFay. Branwen's husband to be.
"Here's §100, will you go out with me?"
Meanwhile Ivy managed to gradute and I had her move to Windling Gables to drop off elixer bottles, get some new clothes, and max her skills for the point.
"OMGWTFBBQ?!?"
While Ivy worked on maxing her skills, Amalthea and Jessie were working on another baby.
"Looking good, babe."
And, it's Saturday!
Second bloodline, fifth generation: from left to right across the back are Mercury, Jessie, Amalthea and Ivy, in front is baby Cassandra and toddler Cerebrus.
Not long after that baby Cassandra became toddler Cassandra.
"I has a note!"
Meanwhile Cerebrus became a child.
"Yep, it's still Christmas here."
And, Amalthea had a third child by blood, another little girl named Chloe.
"Two more to go!"
But, with two more to go, even though Amalthea was five days from being an elder she still couldn't conceive. So I sent good old Mercury out to the Cow Plant garden.
"It feels like I've done this before..."
Amalthea brought him back with the Bone Phone.
"Oh yeah, I remember now!"
And, then went out to drink some essence of Mercury.
"It's wonderful that I can have more babies, but at the same time this is absolutely disgusting!"
Ivy, who wasn't very good about spinning up gain a point wants, finally managed to max her skills.
"And, that's check and mate."
So it was time for her to head on out of here.
"Buh-bye now!"
Points Earned: One point for Derek maxing his skills. One point for Ivy maxing her skills.

Oooh, Bitsy, not only am I loving the update schedule, but I am very intrigued by this "twist" you have promised us! I also do the same thing with my NPC's, I have a spare move them in, kill them, and generate new ones until I get an attractive one. I'm also in for the points (64, currently on Generation 4) but the looks, are important. With NL, you can change the aspiration so, I just want to have some pretty Sims. Sorry for the rant. :)
Cassandra and Chloe turned out pretty! I was really worried, but Amalthea and Jessie's genes mixed very nicely. I used Jessie once, his son had his face template, but thankfully his mother's CAS nose. (The one from the CAS face template.)
