Decade Challenge - Campbell Family

Hi! This is a way I have narrated my challenge of the decades. It will not be super detailed and will only describe more or less what the decades have been like during my game. I apologize in advance for my English since I am practicing during my narration.
Basically I decided to post my challenge of the decades on tumblr and in the forum, I have been posting about it on facebook since May of this year and finally I decided to bring it here. Do not expect anything improved, this is just an account of the development of my challenge and not an elaborate story.
My couple Éowyn and Edward Campbell are the forerunners of that family. Edward works with gardening both at home and at work. They have a small vegetable garden that they use for sustenance and sometimes pay some bills (I already got 3 pitaia plants, I died when I got it). Well, Éowyn only cleans the house and does all the housework that her life requires in 1890, but always with class. The poor thing lives sick, mainly with stocky and bird flu. She lives playing with the animals in her playpen.
To make life more difficult for my Sims, I'm using the off-line and fertility line, that is, no running water, just candle lights and eating only two types of meals. Two pregnancies have already happened, that is, four children! As they plant strawberries, I have only had girls and I sincerely hope it will be so until the next pregnancy. I am growing a cow plant now and I have two reserves.

Well, my sims managed to have exactly three pairs of twins, that is, six daughters. Thanks to São Morango, all girls. I'm going crazy with them, after all, a tiny house with only 1 vase and 1 bathtub for eight people. The older daughters are almost becoming teenagers, while the middle ones still have a long childhood phase, one of them has still been wetting the bed all the time, that is? More baths. Edward has already become an adult and Éowyn as she got pregnant 3 times will take a little longer for that. The youngest twins are two pests, one of them always steals cookies from the jar, while the other is always asking to bathe.
With the arrival of the coldest time of the year it is difficult to guarantee that no one will die of cold, with only one fireplace at home, the second floor has become problematic, someone almost always dies. They celebrated Christmas together, set up a small Christmas tree and sang waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.
The girls are always making dolls and snow angels around the yard, all the time playing and helping to clean the house, sometimes even cooking and washing clothes they help. The names of each of them in order of birth and clothing color are: Elizabeth (yellow), Noemi (red), Diana (Blue), Lauren (purple), Sofia (green) and Katherine (pink)
The house is crazy, people are always messing up, while someone dirty the house, the other one cleans. The bathroom is almost never empty and basically the best friend of my daughters is the cow plant.
It seems that they all have the face of the mother and the shape of the eyes of the father.
The older daughters of Edward and Éowyn became young adults and with that preparations for the arranged marriage began. The two married in the same place in a very similar decoration. Elizabeth married a local farmer who had enough money and stability to support her, and together they raised a family, while Naomi married a kindergarten teacher who had reasonable conditions.
The younger twins became teenagers and with that the choice of my next "heiress" was decided. While Diana and Lauren are about to become young adults and dream of their wedding day, Katherine and Sofia just want to enjoy their youth.
The rainy season has simply devastated the entire plantation and the henhouse on the humble ranch of the family which has put them in a very financially complicated situation. A rich and mysterious man offered to save the family ranch in exchange for marrying his youngest daughter, Katherine, who, even though she didn't like the idea, had no choice.
While her sisters who are still living with her are studying and planning their nephews' layette, Katherine has been shopping for her future wedding that will take place as soon as she reaches the age of majority.
My sims' middle daughters became young adults and quickly married residents of the small town they live in. To the surprise and happiness of my founding couple, their first grandchildren were born as a girl and three boys (each daughter who married had 1). Well, while the youngest daughters practiced etiquette with their mother, Edward planned their wedding. Sofia married a very wealthy lawyer who lived close to the forest, both decided to live in seclusion and away from the city.
She and her sisters visit the family almost every day during their lunches or dinners. As the younger twins also became young adults, the decade went by, we are now in 1900. With that and with Katherine's arranged marriage to the son of an extremely wealthy old man, a gigantic renovation was done in her home making it bigger. and more spacious to accommodate everyone in a comfortable way.
Jim Raynor is a beginner politician who has a huge family heritage, his arranged marriage to Katherine could not be just business. As an extremely materialistic boy and raised with all the good things in life, a very chic and open-air wedding was held to celebrate his union with the beautiful Campbell heiress.
NOTE: The wedding was the event I photographed the most as you can see. I am not very good with decorations so pretend it is super chic and pretty lol. The choice of the wedding dress was not ideal, but I found nothing that looked like a wedding dress and had puffed sleeves and a corset.
I love your home. It is adorable. And the toddler in the wash tub.... Awww

@Kellogg_J_Kellogg Thank you! I'm glad you found that.
A few days after their marriage, Katherine's father, Edward, died of old age. It seemed to shake his daughter and son-in-law completely, but his wife did not even show a reaction to seeing him dead and stretched out in the kitchen. She stayed there, watching him until death sought him out.
Jim tried to comfort his wife as much as possible and encouraged her to be distracted and go back to practicing her beautiful floral arrangements that left the whole house extremely fragrant, especially during the winter. Although they met a little while ago, it could be said that their relationship was beginning to narrow and even though they were not lost in love for each other, at least they did not hate each other completely.
Since her loss, Katherine has been very concerned about her mother and did not want her to die at all. Sometimes they fought over the over-protection that Katherine tried to impose. Jim always watched everything and laughed because he thought his wife was very determined with what she put in her head.
Katherine practiced her floral arrangements for months until she finally reached perfection, but for her it still wasn't enough. Her family's pressure to get pregnant was terrible, making her and her husband feel obliged to try as soon as possible and after a few attempts, she woke up beaming and finally, pregnant. He happily told his sisters and mother that they fervently approved of the situation.
What nobody knew is that even that week, Katherine would wake up in extremely severe pain during the night and would have to be rushed to the hospital. Jim always beside his wife comforted her when they found out she had lost the couple's first child who was definitely a boy.
NOTE: I was really VERY sad that she had a miscarriage! I expected the first babies of the family to come soon (they were twins, 1 couple), my yes is very sad and it was not long after the father died.

I was very happy to know that someone was following my challenge! I'm glad you enjoyed the wedding, I was honestly very lost at the beginning of everything, let's say that the challenge of the decades for me was a little confusing at first, mainly because I always needed to investigate the attitude I should have about the lives of sims lol .

Thank you very much for saying that! I'm really happy to know that I'm on the right track.
Éowyn got to know her granddaughters, but a few days later, during the night, she found her lover waiting for her. The next day, while everyone was leaving flowers at Edward's grave, Éowyn died.
After that, Katherine's sisters all went to her house to help take care of the new babies and to say goodbye to their mother. Katherine and her husband acquired a custom of always leaving flowers on her parents' headstones and with that sometimes the two end up being very sad.
The twins just grew up to be babies and the house was filled with joy again. The couple's relationship has cooled off but both are hopeful that everything will return to conformity. Jim recently started learning how to produce wines and plans to open a winery in the future while his wife has discovered a new hobby which is knitting.
Despite all the luxury, when the girls became young adults, the first world war broke out and with that, the girls' father died (the mother is almost old). Both daughters had hurried weddings before their loved ones went to war. Amelia was unlucky, her lover never returned and left her pregnant with twins in her new home.
Margareth was also not very lucky, as her beloved Grady was embarking for war and most likely would not return. (I threw the dice to draw whether he would live or not, and the dice said that no sooner will we have a new widow and pregnant woman in the family and that she will need to get married urgently.)
As much as she didn't really want to remarry, being a woman, Margareth was not allowed to manage the farm she would inherit and so her mother went after influential families who had heirs who had returned from the war.
A headstone was erected in the family garden with all the others, but Grady's body was never recovered.
While her mother arranged the details of her upcoming wedding with a man named Mitchell, Margareth remained carrying flowers and wailing at her beloved's grave. At first, all the advances and encounters that took place between her and Mitchell were showered with rude responses, flirting that did not work and sadness. just a few months after the romance began to flow in both directions, but still, in Margareth's mind, she was only doing it because it was necessary and not because she really wanted to.
When she learned that she would be asked to marry, Margareth made the decision to release her lover's spirit so that he could finally rest in peace.

Thank you! I really suck at rolling dice, my sims usually end up having a tragic ending.
Since most of the men were still at war, the city seemed strangely empty and sad. The death toll was growing more and more each day, taking the hope of many women who hoped that their husband or son would return.
The confirmation of her pregnancy did not make her very satisfied, despite being a kind and caring woman, Margareth did not wish to have children, even if that was absurd at the time. Not even the pregnancy of Grady's daughters made her happy, which resulted in extremely troubled months.
His marriage was in a hurry, Mitchell knew that his bride carried babies that were not his, but since her family was wealthy and would give him and his parents financial stability, he accepted.
The wedding took place in winter, before the babies were born and so that the belly was not in evidence, after all, what would they say about her if they knew she was pregnant with her dead husband? On the eve of her wedding, Margareth said goodbye to her beloved one last time.
Shortly after getting married, Margareth gave birth to two healthy girls, none of whom looked like her late husband. The girls had a good life and Mitchell decided to take them on as his legitimate daughters in order to help his family not fall out of favor.
Months after the first pregnancy, Margareth became pregnant, this time by her current husband, but even so she was not able to be happy with that. Over an afternoon tea, she decided to tell Mitchell that their first heir was coming.
