Playing today and looking at one of the new gen 6 cousins - he has pointy ears! One of his older brothers does too but they don’t have the same father so I had a look at their mother’s ears and they’re pointy! I don’t know where those ears would have come from though! This is down Kit’s line, he was from gen 3. His youngest daughter Audrey had two girls with the same father (Gideon Harris) but only one, Elliana, had pointy ears! Anyone know if Gideon has pointy ears? I’m pretty sure the ears didn’t come from Kit’s wife, Violet, but I don’t know if any of Audrey’s siblings had them. I’ll have to check on Audrey and her twin brother next time (eldest sister Michaela passed away a few game days ago on her youngest daughter’s YA birthday 😢, but maybe I should check her children).

Update: Sheldon has them, but not Audrey, so I think that makes Violet, Kit’s wife, the origin of those ears. But how did Audrey pass them on to Elliana since those features don’t seem to skip generations? Michaela’s children Dylan, Max and Keira don’t have them. So the one child of Kit’s who didn’t have children got pointy ears but one of the grandchildren from one of the girls did get the ears and now has passed them onto the two of the next generation? How did this happen without me noticing! Looking back through pics of that gen, I can’t tell from the CAS photo whether they have them at that early age or not, or whether this is a glitch of some kind!

Incidentally, this is the breakdown of children per generation across the family tree:
Gen 2: 3 (1 boy, 2 girls)
Gen 3: 8 (4 boys, 4 girls)
Gen 4: 20 (9 boys, 11 girls) - 14 are still alive, all but two are elders
Gen 5: 35 (19 boys, 16 girls - one has just become an elder, the youngest is an infant 🤣)
Gen 6: 29 (9 boys, 20 girls so far)
Gen 7: 14 (7 boys, 7 girls so far)
It took me two hours to update the family tree the other day!

I’ll get another update done within the next couple of days but I had to share this - of all the grandchildren that Emerson and Rose have so far, only one of them doesn’t have red hair! That’s a lot of red-haired children 🤣.

Rebuilding Brindleton Bay Gen 5.14

Last update for gen 5!! Which is probably just as well because I'm halfway through the next gen already!

Harlow asked Storm out on a date but this is the only pic I got as the date glitched and Harlow disappeared very soon after.

Snow has taken to playing the violin often and loudly

I'm not saying that it factored in Winter's decision to propose to Molly and then move out but it totally did!! They moved out to a house in Windenburg to help with Winter's career as a politician.

Cohen passed away, so Emerson took Storm around to comfort Mabel, who still has at least 30 days left.

Then we were finally able to work on getting a kitten for this generation!

Night on the Town, so Emerson and Rose invited Winter and Molly over, and Storm and Harlow came along too. Aspen and Naomi, as well as Snow, arrived later as they had to work. (I didn't realise that I'd given Rose and Storm the same hairstyle for formal outfit until this date night )

Pre-Prom party. Snow tried to get Daniel interested in her (he had turned down her prom-posal two days earlier) but no luck. But fortunately, Lawson Goth was plenty interested!!

Prom again! Plenty of dancing, Snow finally got her first kiss, and the two girls both received royal titles!

And the next day, it was time for a lot of birthdays! Rose aged up into middle age, then Snow aged into YA. She gained the Perfectionist trait and will be getting a job as a diver.

Then it was Storm's turn. She gained the Squeamish trait (which will go wonderfully well with her aspiration of Outdoor Enthusiast ) and will become a detective.

Harlow and Lawson were invited around to age up as well.

I had issues with the cats breeding so I had to randomise a kitten in CAS. Meet Bellusdeo (from a series called Cast in Shadow).

Snow and Lawson got engaged, then moved out into a house in Sulani for her job as a Diver.

And finally, Aspen and Naomi eloped right there in the lounge room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so ends Gen 5! Halfway through the challenge - yay!! I'm so pleased to have made it so far with the support of all the lovely people also doing this challenge

Rebuilding Brindleton Bay Gen 6 house tour

Because I have the time to do this update, I'll show you Storm's new house.

Front view, although it's a little hard to see in the middle of winter!

Ground floor. Top row - lounge room, entryway with WC. Bottom row - Kitchen/laundry, dining room.

First floor. I apologise for the weird effect - for some reason, I couldn't get a better picture than this. At the back, master bedroom with ensuite and WIR (which will double as a nursery). Two bedrooms towards the front and a shared bathroom.

Basement for housing all the collections and photos so far.
