I'll be getting back to my founding family later tonight and hopefully Jack will age up to child before I'm finished with this gameplay session. Then they'll get started on having more kids. Crossing my fingers they only have one more, not twins or triplets. Their house isn't big enough. o.O Have a great rest of your day/night!
And I hope you are only blessed with only one more kiddo in your game! I do not wish my misery on anyone lol!

@Karababy52 I used to have a weird shift at work too, so I have been known to keep very weird hours myself. I was in the same boat with mojo's Wilde's. I started reading them, and while I didn't get through it all together in one sitting, I did binge through it so much which is what got me to start my own. :)
I can't wait to read about the chaos I'm sure the triplets are going to spread in your story. I'm sure it'll be hilarious for your readers, but you'll probably need to be put a padded room before they age up. hehe Seriously though, I love toddlers in TS4, they're just so adorably cute!
@silveRose82_ Oh good, glad I'm not the only one that likes to binge read stories they've just discovered. Makes me feel a little less lame for doing so. lol
Here's a bit of an update on my Lovell I.S.B.I. Jack aged up to child rolling Artistic Prodigy and Glutton. So now I have TWO gluttons eating all the food up in the house. o.O Thankfully, Amy gave birth to only one baby, a girl. Jillian rolled the Silly trait. Yep, Jack & Jill. lol I know, sort've cliche' but meh. I figured since Eddy is a goofball and childish, he'd be able to talk Amy into going for something silly like that.
Here's child Jack and toddler Jillian:
On a side note, I STILL haven't had any fails, so far! That's almost unheard of for an I.S.B.I. I think having the Parenthood pack and the fact Eddy's almost maxed out the skill has helped a lot with that! I'll tally up points at the end of this Gen when either Jack or Jillian take over. They're not having anymore children, two is plenty! However, I did update their house adding a room for Jack, an outdoor play area for the kids and a covered patio for Eddy's small garden.
Here's a few more candid shots of the family under the spoiler if anyone would like to check them out.
Anyway, here's a few more screenies:
This pic cracks me up! lol Poor Amy is over there giving birth to Jillian and Eddy looks like he's just sitting there saying, "Wow, looks painful Babe, glad it's not me!" teehee In reality, they were chatting at the table while she was in labor and then she got up in the middle of their convo to give birth.
Jack welcoming Jillian to toddlerhood, trying to make her laugh with funny faces while she eats her first solid meal. He seems to take after Dad that way.
Jillian telling her Daddy & Jack a story. She's so freakin' cute!
And that's where I'm at so far. Jack starts school tomorrow. I added an easel in the remodel and Eddy drew a couple focused diagrams to hang up, one right by the front door and one in Jack's room. I'm hoping that helps encourage him to do his homework. Not sure if it's needed now though since Eddy can influence his kids to do homework. I love the Parenthood pack!
Have a great rest of your day/evening y'all!

Have a great weekend!
https://ciyrosesims.home.blog/2020/03/04/otts-family-generation-a-heir-poll/
We announced the winner of the heir poll and are almost to starting the next generation.
.... lol sry, real life rears its ugly head plus other games stole my soul. Starting to slowly dip my toes back into the Sims recently, though. We'll see how long it lasts.
@mojot89 - Deserves an award for answering ?s for me while I'm off in la-la land. *gives gold star*
I'll try to add my 2-cents to what I caught in the posts I missed. If I missed your ? however, or you need further clarification on something, ask away! I'm gonna try to keep a better eye on this post in the future.
In other random news holy CARP is University hard in this version compared to past games O_o - But thus far I don't see any major changes that University would cause for an ISBI. Other than the fact that it will be patently impossible for anyone other than your TH to attend or succeed at attending said university, that is. (And in my limited experience so far, good luck with THAT too . . .)
Ok - The Randomizing Traits and Aspirations for a Generation : Yes, that only applies to the children of that generation. As far as spouses go . . . I mean, TECHNICALLY you're not supposed to change their aspiration (even the one they come into the family with) unless it's completed. Reasoning behind that being you can theoretically change it from something difficult to something far easier (even if it's just to get some of the individual milestones and the over-all aspiration still won't get finished) and milk extra points that way. Having done so in the past (or continuing to do so) won't invalidate your game or your score, however. If you prefer to play this way, by all means. If you'd like to deduct points to make up for doing it in the past, then just calculate how many points you earned from the freely chosen aspiration and remove them. Easy peasy.
There are no rules as to who you can marry in an ISBI, and that includes sims from other legacies with earned skills and traits. So no need to remove them.
Nope, I don't mind small updates to let us know how your games are going! I only request that you don't embed a ton of pictures into said posts. (And if you do want to share a lot, then put it in a Spoiler tag).
As always, HAPPY SIMMING!! and much love to those of you who continue to play in the ISBI sandbox of crazies and then tell me about it.

Her future mate was taken from the gallery. I'm sorry I can not remember the creator's name.
That front door looks inviting.
He cleans up after himself so his life is doomed.

@Shadami - I almost always lose track of points . . . it's a curse.

@Shadami I am not good keeping track of points either.
I'm loving Bailie as heir so far, and am excited to get generation C started.
@silveRose82_ - Congrats on the update! I added your blog to the links list, FYI. Sry it wasn't done sooner.

@Shadami - LOL that's entirely up to you. It won't hurt MY feelings.

I've been silently lurking this thread for a while, thinking about starting my own ISBI but not doing it, until I finally cracked and started "King of Fools" a couple months ago.
This is my founder, Thaddeus King. He lives in a starter lot in Willow Creek, and wishes to become a Freelance botanist
He has gotten throught quite a bit of adventures so far, and you can read it all here if you want to!
King of Fools
And so, my reason to fianlly come here is a a question about something that happened in my last playsession. I'm gonna put it under a spoiler i canse somebody starts reading the blog and doesn't want to get spoiled lol
So yeah, I bought a lottery ticket just because, and somehow, Thad was my first sim ever to hit the jackpot lol and my question is...does that money counts towards the "earning 100,000 simoleons" points? he got 1,000,000 just like that! It feels a little weird lol
Also, what the hell do I do with so much money? lol!
Year Long Community Challenge
@SimCave So cute!!! I love the playtime like that. So cute.
@Salem
@Lynnwood No worries at all. I have been loving this challenge, and am happy to share it with others. I've got a long way to go, and really I blame @mojot89 for making it seem so fun with her Wilde's.
