Chapter 2

Time for round 2 you guys!

Last time Hannah managed to squeeze out four children. One girl and three boys.

We open up with Oscar playing around in the bathtub.

Hannah continues to make friends outside the household. Although, her methods have evolved into something a little more risque than I would like.

As cute as this is, it's really irritating when I have the kid in the middle of something else and they just drop it to go hug their parent.

Ugh. Familial love.

I had Hope invite her childhood friend over. He aged up too!

I wanted to see if there was any attraction, but there was not.

Oh, speaking of!

I mispoke last chapter. Hope randomized as straight, not gay.

Whelp. I guess attraction isn't required.

Hope wants a kiss before the night is over...maybe she'll manage it afterall.

Nope. They just whacked each other with pillows for three hours.

Sims.

Birthday!!

This time is Pierce's!

Sorry, my cat hopped on my laptop..which was on top of my lap and I missed the actual birthday photo.

But here is Pierce! I believe he got the elf ears too!

Yes Hannah you're pregnant.

See?

Hope finally got a job in her LTW career, Culinary.

I don't plan on playing these guys too much after they move out, but I don't mind giving them a little bit of a head-start.

Hope brought this guy home from school, and they have actual attraction! Just one bolt, but at this rate I don't think Hope can be picky;

So I had Hope ask...Simon (I think) on a date.

She got her kiss!

And plenty more after that.

I'm glad you're looking forward to the little bundle of love.

In the nursery? Really?

Bump!

Pierce gets plenty of love, even if I don't photograph it.

Theodore is still here too.

Tristan is around here somewhere...I promise he's still alive!

I'm surprised Hannah is even in any of these pictures. I feel like this woman spent 80% of her time sleeping.

Ah there's Tristan! Happy and healthy as promised.

In all my years of simming I don't think I've ever had a sim go into labor over a pile of garbage.

First time for everything.

It's nice that the kids are out there in support.

It's a boy! His name is Shiloh! He has his mom's skin and hair, and his purple eyes came from a grandparent.

Hold your horses guys, there's two more coming.

Well I was bound to get multiples at some point.

But how did I manage to get triplets before I got twins???

I purposefully set the triplet/quadruplet settings down. How am I that unlucky?

Oh well. Meet the second of the three, Orion. Another boy.

He has his grandparent's black hair and green eyes, and Hannah's skin.

Last one!

Meet Bruno (yet ANOTHER boy).

He is the first to get red hair! He also got his dad's grey eyes and skin.

I thought I'd show the layout of the house as is. I ended up moving the cribs to the big bedroom on the left and putting the big bed in the nursery.

I'm super happy Hope is a teen. Cuz this is going to be a pain.

Already helping out I see!

And she got a promotion!

Yes! One more teen to help with the madness!

I mean...Happy Birthday!

A very handsome lad!

Theodore rolled Familiy/Fortune with an LTW to become an Education Minister.

He randomized as straight.

Of course I had him invite Veronica over after she aged up.

They became besties :)

Got their first kiss...

And fell in love all in one fell swoop.

He also got a job in Law Enforcement! Not the career he wanted, but they're a little hard up for money so he doesn't get to be picky.

I love it when my camera swings me around.

But it's for a good reason I guess. It's Pierce's birthday!

Yes! I'm very happy you're not a toddler anymore too!

I'm amazed that Hannah has kept these things alive. Good thing too, they need to sell these babies.

Pierce joins the tradition of running to greet Oscar when he gets home.

Theodore came home with a very attractive teen, too bad he's already attached to Veronica.

...yeah there aren't a ton of pictures while the triplets are little. I was a bit busy keeping everybody alive.

First up is Shiloh.

Very cute yes.

Tristan's first move was to pick on poor Shiloh :(

But no time for that, I want to get this over with.

Oh, I know that forcing sims to age up isn't technically allowed, but my sim babies tend to glitch out when I let them age naturally. Like it will take them three days before somebody gets around to it.

Anywho...let's get to Orion's birthday!

Also cute.

It's a little unnerving how similar all these kids look.

Bruno is up last.

Wonderful. Now let's just get through these next few days without pulling out all our hair.

Hope has been AMAZING!

She's currently helping Pierce with his homework, but she helps out a lot with the triplets too!

Yeah I wanted to get this stuff out of the way pronto.

Aww! Pierce is much nicer than his brother Tristan.

Oh my goodness I thought this was Pierce and I was like, "Why did I take this random picture of Pierce?"

It's actually Oscar's little brother! I think his name is...Ollie?

One by one we'll knock them out.

Orion has the elf ears! I just noticed!

Hope topped her teen career! She is officially an overachiever!

Hannah gets to do this a LOT. I don't know what you feed them Hannah, but it's not very good for the plumbing.

I just wanted you guys to share in this rare moment. All of them asleep at once!

Tristan brought this girl home...but I don't remember her name.

Birthday time!

Tristan rolled Popularity/Family with an LTW to be a Rock God.

He also randomized as straight.

There are so many people in this house.

Hannah and Oscar are getting old so it's time to drink the juice.

Might as well finish it in one go.

Drink up Oscar. We still got a long way to go.

I was hoping this challenge would go smoothly...but with one girl and six boys I'm afraid it's going to last much longer than it needs to.

We're so close guys!

<3

Theodore pops in with the toddlers on occasion. It's very sweet!

Hope brought this girl home and she is GORGEOUS!

But none of the boys are into her. Shame.

Tristan invited this girl, who aged up with him, back over. But I don't think there was any attraction. Damn it guys!

FINALLY!

Shiloh is a child!

Orion went next.

:D

And finally, Bruno.

You guys have no idea how happy I am!

And, not sure if you noticed, but Hannah isn't pregnant! Quite frankly, I haven't given Hannah or Oscar any time to woohoo. I've micro-managed the hell out of these last few days.

...unfortunately, they are still too poor for new clothes. I'm sorry Orion!

Theodore topped his career! I must've missed his first promotion.

Another overachiever on our hands.

Well I spoke too soon. Dammit Hannah!

At least the triplets are kids now. Makes it a little more manageable.

Tristan got a job in the Music Career.

Look! He's glowing...I'm tired ok.

Pierce is such a sap. I love him.

Bump.

I don't know what happened with these two but they do NOT like each other.

I saw that coming.

Theodore won though! With only three body points I was a little surprised.

Nearly missed this birthday!

Yay Pierce!

He rolled Popularity/Romance with an LTW to be the Mayor.

He randomized as straight.

This little lady grew up with Pierce and...you guessed it. I thought I'd see if they liked each other.

Well she's receptive!

Oscar topped his career! Now it's Hannah's turn to get a job.

...I'm not sure what happened here. This guy is acting like Hannah cheated on him...but I've never seen them flirt or anything.

Luckily Oscar wasn't affected, and I don't care if some random townie hates Hannah. Even if it is for no reason.

Pierce got a job in Politics.

Theodore is being your typical teenager.

Poor Hannah made all these nice pancakes right as everyone left for school. How annoying.

Oh yeah...bump!

Hannah got a job in Culinary. I figure with her cooking skill already halfway up it won't be too bad.

Bruno takes a test drive on Oscar's career reward.

Another look at the house! I was finally able to add a proper nursery. Hope turned the old nursery into her own personal bedroom. Being the only girl has its perks.

Hannah is going into labor!

It's another boy.

We are currently at ONE girl to SEVEN boys.

It is what it is I guess.

Everyone meet Oliver. He has black hair and...purple eyes? I can't tell from this picture.

*pops back into the game*

Yes! Purple eyes.

Fun Fact! No two kids in this house have the same genetics! Not yet at least.

Pierce got a promotion!

Tristan managed to piss this girl off somehow. Not surprising. He's so mean lol.

Hannah is our breadwinner now, so she is working on her skills.

Great. You realize there are 10 sims in this house already.

See how Tristan acknowledges his little brother on the floor and yet, does nothing?

Bump!

Could you try for a girl? Please?

Well, the house is about to get a little bit smaller. It's Hope's birthday!

Ta-da!

Now we just need your portrait and the you get to leave this hellhole.

I'm going to miss her actually. She's a huge help with her younger siblings.

Ethan grew up with her. They have crushes on each other, but with no attraction I don't think I'm going to have Hope pursue him.

I totally forgot to get a good makeover picture of Hope before she moved out!

:(

But she's gorgeous don't worry. I might include a little something of her new life in the next chapter.

Bump!

Why would a child just be randomly standing still in the middle of a room?

You guessed it! Birthdays!

Bruno decided he wanted to go first this time.

Bruno rolled Knowledge/Romance with an LTW to be a Prestidigitator.

Is that a real word? It doesn't recognize it as a word when I type it out...

Sorry! Bruno also randomized as straight.

Orion went next.

He rolled Pleasure/Romance with an LTW to be a Rock God. Just like Tristan!

He also randomized as straight.

......................

I have no idea where Shiloh's teenager pictures went. Literally they are not here?

I'm so sorry Shiloh!

He rolled Knowledge/Fortune with an LTW to be a Game Designer.

He randomized as gay.

The next night it was time for Oliver to grow up!

I don't know why I had Orion bring him to the cake, but whatever works.

Ta-da!

And there is Shiloh in that terrible blue wife beater/ cargo pants combo.

Hannah gets started on those skills.

Tristan actually shows some brotherly love for once.

As irritated as I am at the boy/girl disparity, I have to admit that Oliver is pretty cute.

Hannah and Oscar think so too.

Baby time!

THANK GOD!

Sorry. It's a girl.

Her name is Lacy! She also has black hair, blue eyes and her mom's skin.

I don't know why black hair is so prevalent? It came from a grandparent for goodness sake.

And Pierce is an overachiever!

He celebrates with video games.

And we end yet another super long chapter with Shiloh serving everybody breakfast.

Thanks for reading!
