I'm still here!! Been stalking it even a few years later Hoping you are able to update. I've got a few of your horses to use in my challenge. I'll be redoing my thread once I get the screenshots in order. I'm glad your still here!!
@WolfLady74, yeah some of them don't show up, but it was still worth reading. Took me nearly a week to get through. I am so enchanted by your Imaginary Friends and their horsies.. I may just have to start up a 50 foals challenge myself sometime soon.
Life with three infants and a toddler was a blur of sleep deprivation, feedings, diapers and crying.
Ivy and Elias were glad when the day came for the triplets to become toddlers. Toddlers were at least a little more independent than infants. Their kids went in together to buy them some gifts to make the work a little easier.
They decided to have a birthday for them. Annabeth was the first to arrive.
"I bet you thought this day would never come," Annabeth said. "I don't know how you and Dad have done it."
"I'm asleep on my feet, Annabeth. Would you like to take your sister for a little while?"
Annabeth was happy to bring Lauren to the cake as everyone started gathering around.
Everyone cheered for her.
She got Ivy's eyes and Elias's hair. She's a cutie.
Next Keira took her brother, Hunter, to the cake.
Ivy and Elias were happy, but too tired to cheer.
He got Elias's green eyes and Ivy's hair. He's also a cutie.
While everyone was cheering the birthdays Serena helped out with Noah by giving him some baby food.
Ivy herself brought Elijah to the cake. Elias found some energy to cheer this time.
Lucas was very excited. Some of that may have been because of the recent news that he and Julie are expecting their first baby.
Elijah got Ivy's violet eyes and the recessive Taylor trait for blond hair has shown up again. He's adorable.
After some tweaking:
Hunter:
Elijah
(somehow I missed a portrait of Lauren)
Elias and Ivy still found themselves constantly on the go trying to keep up with four toddlers. The playpen and the walkers helped, but some days they never even had time to get out of their pajamas.
They both tok turns taking little naps when they could.
They all were getting better at eating their baby food.
They enjoyed the walkers and the play pen.
They had also received IF dolls that could occupy them as well.
More often than not Elias and Ivy spent their time figuring out who was crying, and what they needed. If they weren't doing that they were taking turns keeping them entertained.
Although Noah, Lauren, and Hunter slept well, they were not usually sleeping at the same time. The most difficult had proved to be Elijah.
The others would sleep in their cribs or the swings. Elijah, on the other hand, only screamed louder when he was put down in the crib or the swing. (although the swing is supposed to increase all their needs his actually decreased any time he went in the swing.) The only way Elijah would nod off is if someone rocked with him in the rocking chair. Everyone took turns rocking with him.
My original post was too long. So here is the rest of what I typed:
Keira had stayed even though she was an adult because she knew her parents needed her. But there were days that she wished she had moved out.
"I am starving, Alex." Alex, who was also hungry had just pulled a muffin out of nowhere to eat. The easy life of being an Imaginary Friend. "I wish there was a way you could take him for a little while."
Keira still worked on trying to find a potion to make Alex real any time she had a short break.
One day after Ivy had miraculously gotten all of the triplets to sleep in their cribs she got a call from Annabeth. She suggested to her mother that she come and visit for a few hours so she could get out of the house. Elias and Keira both agreed that she should go.
Not long after, Ivy was spending some time with her eldest daughter. Annabeth had her own big news. She and Travis were expecting another baby.
The next day Elias took a little time to get out. He went to visit Erik.
Every so often, to help them all unwind, the genie would play some music for all of them.
Ivy and Elias were happy when they found out about the birth of their newest grandchild. Lucas sent over a picture of Julie with their new daughter, Kristy.
One day while working hard trying to find the potion to make Alex real Keira finally found the correct combination!
She and Alex ran outside to get away from the sounds of one of the toddlers throwing a tantrum. "Finally, Alex! Finally you can be real!"
After he downed the potion the purplish pink cloud surrounded him.
Then there he was standing in front of her. She thought he looked very handsome.
Alex thought she looked even more beautiful with his new, human eyes than she had before.
"Oh, Keira. Thank you so much for making me real. You never gave up."
"I couldn't give up, Alex. I love you," Keira confessed.
"I love you, too, Keira," Alex said as he drew her into a hug.
@Thrippa it was the most frustrating thing ever! For the others the swings are great. Nothing worked with Elijah except rocking with him. Luckily it helped the adults rest as well or I'd have been done for. That's what I get for naming him Elijah, I guess. I have known several kids named Elijah in my life and they were all troublemakers. I'll add another update tonight. They are teens where I am in game play so I am a bit behind. I'm getting so close to 50!!
Both Ivy and Elias were pleased and happy when the time came for Noah's birthday. They knew three toddlers would be better than four. They had finally gotten the triplets onto a schedule. Well, mostly.
The whole family gathered around to celebrate Noah's birthday. He leaned over to blow the candles out himself.
He was very excited about getting older.
He's a cute kid.
The next day he pulled out his doll to play with her.
When he put her down she came to life.
Now that Noah was a child and the triplets were settling into a routine all of Ivy and Elias's kids got together to plan a surprise for their parents wedding anniversary. They bought them a trip to France. Ivy and Elias tried to object, but their children wouldn't take no for an answer. Keira said that she and Alex were more than capable of handling the triplets and Noah for a few days. Annabeth, Erik, and Lucas all said that they would take turns coming over every day to help out. They talked it over, and agreed it was a wonderful opportunity. They had never actually had an opportunity for a honeymoon, and truthfully they could use some time away by themselves.
The town they arrived in was quite scenic.
"I can't believe the kids did this for us, Elias," Ivy said as they looked around.
"It really was very sweet of them." Elias grinned at her. We're completely alone for the first time since we have been married. How about if we get settled into our room and see the sights tomorrow?"
Ivy returned his grin. "Sounds like a great idea."
The next day Ivy and Elias took a walking tour of the area. They found some beautiful ruins nearby. They also looked through a tomb and found a few relics.
Afterwards they went to one of the cafés for some for the local cuisine.
Everything was delicious and Ivy and Elias enjoyed having some time to just relax and enjoy one another's company.
The next day they went to visit one of the local Nectaries.
They enjoyed the tour and sampling some of the nectar.
They even paid the extra fee to try making some of their own nectar. Ivy's gardening hobby led to her wanting to try her hand at making nectar.
Squishing the grapes felt strange and set her to giggling.
And then she slipped and fell in the grapes.
"You look sexy covered in grapes," Elias said with a laugh.
"Oh, Elias. You'd think I was sexy in a garbage bag."
"Yes, I probably would."
After she had gotten cleaned up Ivy set the machine to working. Elias was already thinking about how Keira was doing with the kids. Their plane was leaving a few hours.
The flight home went well. Then they caught a water taxi out to the islands.
They paused for a moment outside to look at their home.
"Are you ready to go back into the craziness?" Ivy asked.
"I am. The vacation was wonderful, but I love our life and our children. I'm happy to be home."
I know! Toddlers with wings are cute. I was kind of disappointed that none of the triplets were fairies. More to come soon. Back to horses as the triplets grow!
Yikes it has been so long since I updated! I got distracted by playing Sims 4. It runs much more smoothly on a Mac because it's coded for a Mac. Sims 3 has been giving me a really hard time. I even tried using porter from twallen to move the people into an identical neighborhood. That helped for a little while, but not forever. Okay, enough of that and on to the update:
It didn't take Ivy and Elias long to get back into the everyday tasks. But now that they were more relaxed it went much more smoothly.
Keira was glad her parents were back. She was exhausted.
They got the word shortly after that Annabeth had given birth to a new baby boy. They send them a picture of her and little Erich. He inherited the green skin tone from his mother, but dark skin like his father.
Keeping up with the triplets made Elias really feel his age. Ivy still seemed as young as the day he married her. It just reminded him all over again that she was not aging the way that he was. He decided it was time to talk to the genie about extending his life. "I was thinking about what you told me about a wish that can extend my life."
"Yes, it may not be able to help you equal Ivy's lifespan, but it will certainly give you many more years. Are you ready to make that wish?"
"Yes, I am ready. I wish for a longer life." Suddenly the genie was overcome by a burst of power that startled Elias.
The power reached out and surrounded him, lifting him right off the ground. Elijah in the playpen giggled at the sparkles surrounding his father.
Elias felt both disoriented and invigorated afterwards. He went outside to check on the horses and saw that the gnomes all seemed to be mourning the loss of the professor gnome. Elias thought it was very strange.
Meanwhile Ivy got a text telling her that Erik and Serena were expecting another baby.
Now that they weren't spending all their time taking care of the kids Keira and Alex were getting closer.
It wasn't long before Alex knew it was time to move their relationship to the next step. He got down on one knee and asked Keira to marry him.
Keira was thrilled. "Oh, Alex, I have wanted this for so long!" He put the ring on her finger and it looked so beautiful she could hardly believe it.
Keira and Alex didn't want to wait to get married. They also didn't want to add any stress to Ivy and Elias by asking them to plan a wedding. So they slipped away one evening to elope. They ran into Annabeth on the beach and asked her to keep their secret. Annabeth wanted to stay but had to rush home to take care of the kids.
They got changed into the nicer clothes that they had brought so that they could exchange their vows.
There in the moonlight, with the sound of the waves lapping the shore as they exchanged their promises to one another, everything seemed perfect.
Then they exchanged their first kiss as husband and wife.
Afterwards they were so elated to be married they got a little silly, and it turned into some friskiness.
They had brought along a tent so that they could spend the night together away from everyone else. Soon they both disappeared into it.
They definitely enjoyed their first night together.
It helped a lot that the toddlers could occupy themselves in the playpen.
Lauren and Hunter especially liked playing together in the playpen.
Despite that, there were times that both Ivy and Elias just collapsed in exhaustion.
Erik and Serena were about to lose some sleep as well since they sent word to Ivy and Elias that they had just had their second baby, Roy. Erik sent a picture to his parents.
Finally the day came for the triplets to have their birthday. Ivy and Elias were so grateful. They had felt like this day would never come. To celebrate Elias had brought home a special treat. A chocolate fountain!
Lauren had been born first so Ivy brought her to the cake first. Everyone had just started gathering around for the party.
Elijah, always the troublemaker, couldn't wait for his sister to age up.
He is cute kid. But I think he'll still be a troublemaker.
Lauren wasn't bothered by Elijah aging up first.
Hunter couldn't wait for the cake either.
He grew up nicely.
Elias decided to taste the chocolate fountain. He felt he deserved it for surviving the triplets.
The triplets tried it out next.
Party continued:
The chocolate fountain was really popular!
After a little tweaking here are some portraits of the triplets:
Elijah:
Hunter:
And somehow I missed Lauren, again.
Don't know if anyone is still out there. It's been a really long time but I want to finish this. I am working two jobs and have been really busy. I had a recent SNAFU in game. I installed Into the Future and one of my mods messed up the initial encounter with the time portal. Not knowing it was supposed to happen another way I saved. I'm trying to work something out. Also testing with another save file which mod is the issue.
I look forward to any updates you have. My foals challenge glitched so badly that I've been forced to restart just havent had the time or motivation. I'm trying to find just the right horse to start with. I've picked the following horses from your challenge to use as sires: Rascal, Piper, Seraph, Starlight, Baron, Jasmine, Champion, Unique, and Peregrine. I'll give proper credit and links so people will know where to find them. I hope that is okay with you Miss WolfLady ^_^
