I don't have much cc hair, so I had to check. It's from snowy escape, the uncolored version. For the Merks and Sandra-style in this episode, I took the look based on JFK jr and his wife Caroline Besset.
I forgot the last time to post a picture of Amelie as toddler.
While Sandra was studying hard, the grandparent took care of their granddaughters.
Playtime with Amelie and Grandpa Fabian
Not funny, Grandpa has played a monster.
Amelie needed to be consoled.
Grandma Erika told good story, well as a famous writer, it's not a surprise.
Sandra met her new baby sister and she's happy.
I did an update on the kitchen and living room.
Amelie was the only one who is happy to see her dad.
Sandra was not so happy, but the children has the right to see their dad, and Sandra was not one of these women who denied the access to the children just to punish their ex-partners.
Christmas time.
Baby Annabelle born 2004 became a toddler.
John Merks was not happy to see Sandra and the daughter in such living conditions, Sandra was also tensed with the time. Moving back to the parent, as helpful as they are, felt like a big failure to her. John promised to help her. It took a while for Sandra to find a landlord, who was willing to rent out to a single student mother of two (hint: she moved in 2006). Sandra got also a job offer from a friend for a style magazine to write columns.
Sandra is now 30 years old and became a adult, and still needs a high maintenance.
In the year 2007 until mid of 2008, I've killed and deleted around 4 dozen sims, my loading screens are now a few seconds faster, not much, but still better than before. So I have just changed some mccc settings to get back the control.
2006 was year of the soccer world cup in Germany, I've forgotten this during the game session, but however I still remember how it was, the people were nicier and friendlier and the very good summer weather helped us too with the Sommermärchen. It was a relaxing and easy-going time for everyone. Sure there was dicussions over dicussion and very shameful truth about the these games which where bought by corruption came out later, but we didn't know the thruth during that time and had much fun.
Sandra finished the second states exam and is now able to work for the government a a jugde in Germany. She quit her old as writer, her articles were rarly accepted lately and so she was very happy to get a job as a local judge. She has found a new appartment for her two daughters, it's not big but better than her old kidsroom.
She even had sometimes some time to bath the toddlers.
Mostly Grandma Erika and grandpa Julian help whenever they can to keep care of the kids.
John Merks came to visit, Amelie and Annabelle were excited to see Daddy.
To calm the nerves Sandra is practices yoga. Amelie and Annabelle are watching her.
Her Daughter Annabelle best friend in the Kindergarten is Christina Lehmann. Sandra met her parents Dominik and Morgana in their fancy home and became friend with them.
Fun fact: Morgana is a far relative from Sandra, she descended from Johanna Hegenbrecht, sister from Hans Kaufmann and is the great granddaughter from Johanna.
Amelies Birthday.
Late, but it's Christmas time. I've skipped the event lately, but this time I played it.
Sandra invited her parents and John Merks, Chistmas Eve is celebrated where the youngest kids live.
Together they sang Jingle Bells, and listened to the traditional german christmas songs in the radio. Then they have opened the present, which santa left at the front door.
Then it was time to enjoy the delicious feast.
But towards the end of 2008, another tragedy occurred. Her friend Morgana died from pufferfish nigiri.
Morgana was a tough girl, I needed three attempts, that girl wanted to live.
But it was too late, Dominic and Christina were shocked and heartbroken, when they found her.
Sandra accompanied Dominik to the funeral and the grave from Morgana.
She paid tribute to Morgana with a violine concert.
Surprisingly She did this on her own, I haven't played her, fun fact the ghosts on the the cemetry gave her tips.
I've checked my screenshotfolder, and there are too many pictures. So, instead of a two years story, I'm posting the story of one year.
The last years has ended sad, and so we have a grieving widower Dominik, who came often to visit Sandra, just not to be alone in his big empty house.
Sandra tried to comfort him, because she has the Compassionate Trait.
Dominik helped her to rearrange the bedrooms, the old room was to small for both children and Sandra decided to switch the bedrooms.
Christina and Annabelle are playing together, while Amelie tortured her kids laptop, she has gotten on christmas.
Of course Sandra took care of the children (still with the help of her parents).
The year moved forward, Sandra met Dominik and convinced him, that he should go out and met some new people.
But instead he had only eyes for Sandra and enjoyed very much her company.
Slowly but steady they fell in love and were dating, here they went into a cinema and watched a movie together.
And there the first kiss happened.
He accompanied her home, to make sure that no one harmed her.
They had more dates until the end of the year 2009. A small selection.
Things are going well to Sandra and her kids. To strenghtens the bond between the two families, Sandra and Dominik decided to travel into the mountains during the winter holidays. It was also a test, how the kids are accepting the others.
Part 1
Okay, not the best start.
But the days were full of action.
First time on skis.
That was very close.
Visiting the snow festival, with the lovely firework at the end.
The snow was sometimes very dangerous for the back, like here on the hiking path.
In the evening Dominik and Sandra prepare the dinner and enjoy the quality time together.
Annabelle and Christina already had their fun together.
Meanwhile Amelie get to know Dominik.
He even bought her a toy, which she has asked for.
At the end of the vacation all three kids were playing together.
Part 2
Sandra asked Amelie, what she thinks about Dominik and she likes him. (unfortunately you can't see the big thumbs up)
Same Question about Sandra was asked to Christina by Dominik, and same reaction, thumbs up.
Oh, Annabelle had also her birthday.
After the okay from their offsprings, Sandra and Dominik practise the proposal.
Part 3
But first things first, Sandra and her children were asked to moving
Here it is, the big modern house, a tuscany style (german edition).
Dominik was the winner of the race.
Honestly I have no idea, how a kids room looks nowadays. So I made them quite colorful.
They are playing together already as a family.
While Sandra was chatting with her sister.
And then the moment you realize you made a mistake to left two adult alone for a moment, because you have to take care of the needs from the children.
Yes, my dear readers, they made a try for a baby, which was planned but not so fast.
@YellowLady Thank you very much for following so long my story. I appreciate it
2011 - 2012
A lot of big days happened in both years.
While Sandra was eating with the children, she went in labor.
Time for the walk, no other picture from the panicked husband who was with her, because her doctor was a ghost. I think ghosts shouldn't have a job, I've played my other scenario with a ghost, and in my eyes the ghosts really need an overhaul. Much things don't make sense with ghosts.
yesss ; Welcome Hannah Kaufmann, born in 2011
Amelie slowly becomes a teenager and wasn't happy about the newest family member.
The Big Day.
No, I couldn't wait longer for the new gamepack, the announcement and leak came a little too late for me.
Family and friends are gathering.
Dominik took Sandras family name.
The guests were a little bit too hungry and killed the wedding cake before Sandra and Dominik had the chance for the first cut. They repeat it on the next day.
Not only good things happened, we had also a fire (from baking cookies) Seriously, Sandra? You have level 10 in cooking and level 6 in gourmet cooking, how did you start that fire from baking simple cookies, my darling?
Christmas and New Years Eve.
A lot of presents.
And mommy took pictures.
In the evening they watched a childrens movie together.
During the winter break, the children were lucky, because it fell snow.
Safe firework for kids.
They made back at home at the right time, the kids wanted to see the silvester show.
In 2012 Hannah became a toddler.
An here is the official family portrait.
@Kellogg_J_Kellogg Thank you for following my Story for such a long time.
Now, my simself from the past went into meditation and got the enlightment, that I should really calm down and stop being angry about people. I still have the high maintence trait. And I really want to finish the challenge, the break did me good. . So I'm back again and it's time to finish the challenge. I didn't make much pictures about the two years, I had no ideas what to tell, however the mod and the game can still surprise me.
2013-2014
During the summer holidays, the family travelled to the beach, a trip which all have really enjoyed.
Amelie is almost a teenager and because teenager have their own mind, she has forbidden everyone to come in her room, especially her parents and the nanny, but her friends are an exception, they are allowed to come in.
Time for her birthday party, she invited her friends and her grandparents.
This is her, what the game made out of her and I didn't like it. This is the last hairstyle I would use.
This is my version, in her party attire.
This is Amelie in her normal streetware, I think she really looks like a teenager now, surprisingly.
Amelie has gotten a school event and she belongs now to the cool kids in the last row and of couse she spent her time in the social media
Surprise No 1
Her dad came to visit, the day after her birthday. He didn't came to visit the last years
And since he is a 4 star celebrity she made a selfie.
Surprise No. 2
Now as a 39 years old woman, Sandra became pregnant again, somehow her protection has failed. (I was really a surprised, I saw the rattle, but I just thought she was thinking about to get baby.)
If my math is correctly: it's Holger Kaufmann, first child of Hans, he is 69 years old, in my game we have the first day of 2015. Maybe Fabian, husband of Erika is at the same age, but I'm unable to check my list right now. My mccc settings are let them die around the age of 80.
Edit: It's Fabian. He has lived 495 days, while Holger lived 390 days. So Fabian is about 11- 12 years older than Holger. I think I never changed his age, after my heiress Erika met and fell in love with him and probably I didn't see that age difference as much as a problem in this case.
Sometimes I think the game makes will challenge me. This time it puts New Years Eve on the last day of 2015. However 2015/2016 were bad years with the refugee crisis and especially on what happened on new years eve. This politics divided families and gave energy to the bad guys who want to turn back the time to the darker ages. I have seriously no idea if this decision will have some bad impact in the future, I hope not.
But lets start with the good news. Amelie has her first kiss.
Christmas time
With uncle Holger and the grandparents.
When the family went to church Hannah, too young and too tired, stayed back and got an extra present.
Between Christmas and New Years Eve, Sandras son Finn was born and Hanna was happy about her younger brother.
New years Eve.
Of course there were discussions about the refugees in the Kaufmann family too and Sandra and Dominik have decided that their young daughters aren't allowed to go out on this day. Therefore they have celebrate new years with their friends at home.
Sandra was cooking and Amelie entertained Hannah.
Party and fun activies
The new years eve scandal made Dominik angry and he decided to get fit again, while Amelie went into a phase where she wanted to be left alone by her parents and sibling.
This brings us to the Talk.
Sandra has notices the strange behavior and wanted to talk, but Amelie didn't want to listen.
So she left it to Dominik to talk about it.
Birthdays
Annabelle, Christina and Finn had their birthdays.
this post will be maybe the last post, my decade challenge has now officially ended. It took a while until I found my motivation back, but then I rushed through without making many picture, that's why I extended until 2020, where Amilie grew up into an young adult. My focus was on her story.
2017 - 2020
Let's start with two toddlers playing around.
2018 marks the years, where Holger Kaufmann died during a heat wave. He became 71 years old.
Hannah has also celebrate her birthday.
Amelie started a professional training as a masseuse.
Not always these massages were painless.
When Amelie became 18 years old she moved out in her own appartment.
When her boyfriend break up with her in late 2019, she started to struggle with her life and began to meet the wrong people.
Sometimes she could not remember why she slept on the park bench.
Then at the beginning of 2020 Covid19 arrived in Germany and in March 2020 the social life was totally banish from the public for a while.
(Honestly that as the best time in my life, everything was peaceful, no noise from the airport or the street. Since then I love the homeoffice. Now I have waste my life in the public transportation and having all the selfish people around me again, I'm not really happy with the current situation)
All shops where closed and especially those which had close contact with customers. Not knowing how to earn money, Amelie started to produce and uploaded her first videos.
She will face an uncertain future ...
The End of the Decade Challenge
Thank you all for reading and your patience, I was happy about every comment here in this tread.
It was my pleasure, writing about this challenge helped me to stay on it.
After the end I tried out some adult mods to add a darker theme, but unfortunately or luckely (depends on the view ;D) I can't much write about it, but I'll will give you a a brief overview what was happened in the following years from 2021-2027.
I have deleted many sims and the relationship/ghosts. The generation tree is now broken, but the performance is much better now.
Fabian Kaufmann died offscreen around the year 2023.
Amelie went into some addictions and rushed into a marriage with a criminal. With the help of him she the became free from the addiction years later. She is still in love him and support him with his dark schemes, he had threaten her much better than her other so called friends. She is now producing catvideo content and expecting her first baby.
Birthdays
Annabelle and Christina aged uped to yound adults. Annabelle has been moved out in to her own apartment.
But on Christmas they came all back to the family home.
Christina went fully religious and met her future husband in the group gathering. She fell in love and just wanted to make him happy. As religious zealots the tension between them and the family occults (Sandra and Hannah are active spellcasters) arise.
Her first baby was shortly born after 9 month.
Erika is now a greatgrandmother and Sandra a grandmother.
Annabelle got engaged in 2027 and expecting also a baby.
Hannah became a teenager. (I think she is really blessed with the genes, she is, I believe, the 6th generation)
Her new boyfriend is a welcome excuse to get away from her family and the loud new born.
I still don't have enough time to play, but when I do, play for a long time at once. Unfortunately I did made some mistakes, like starting a scenario in my legacy save, but I didn't want to delete that new sim. Or was surprised by the story itself. However I did incorporate it somehow in my family. I didn't make note on the exact timestamps and forgot to write down inmediately, So I'm guessing. But I would like to recap my story and head cannon which I had all the time. If I'm allowed to do so?
2028 -2040
Finn became a teenager
Erika came to visit.
I've changed the appearance of Sandra and Dominik, before the became elders.
At this point juvenile Hannah was still in love with her boyfriend and were visiting a romance festival together
Finn loves gardening, but the times got harder. Self-provisioning became necessary in due of the hon going inflation and crisis.
Erika died in 2028, I was able to catch this sad moment.
Well Hannah went to to highschool for one day and joined the streamer after school activity. On her firstday this happenened twice. Not good when the teacher were just watching it, instead of helping. After this, Hannah left the school, at her age of 17, she's getting the Abitur in Germany and moved away from home.
She invited her parents and boyfriend to her new home, she shares the rent with my villenary scenario Sim Moritz Schwarz.
They becamejust gofriends, he tried to flirt with her, but unsuccessfully, she has the new loyal trait, when she had her Birthday. He respected this after a no.
Time flies. Moritz try to make money, Hannah was studying communication, and her small community and business plan gave her a small income.
Pure fiction and headcannon from now on:
In 2032 we had a Coup d'état, and the democracy was abolished (Okay that was a try to make a holiday on friday, I've learned with highschool children you can't create a holiday on that day). Apparently whe had also a war. Annabelle died off-screen from a cow plant around 2034, with is in the original rule the cow-plant meant to be war, her husband died in a fire, leaving behind her only son Jens. He was adopted by Amelie then.
Around 2036 Hannah break up with her boyfriend and finished the university. With her experience as streamer she has joint the PR-Branch. Moritz was also almost done with his scenario.
He finished that scenario in 2037. As a villain he madesome difficult choices and met the wrong guys. He vanished without a trace for one year. Hannah was in sorrow, but manage to get a manager position in a new company, while still searching for him.
Then in 2038, the was a sign, he was kidnapped and Hannah had to pay the all his dirty money to the cartell. His body and mind was broken and he was very thin, but he at least was alive. He didn't said anything about what was happened, but Hannah was happy to have him back.
Hanna is helping him to get back to his normal, but this is a slow process. He went from a out-going, self assured and very romantic guy into a lonesome man with insecurities in social behaviour. But he was trusting her very fast and considered her as his only friend.
The love between both grew and they came together in 2039.
And there was still a romantic part in Moritz soul, asking her if she would to marry him in 2040.
So far she also expect a baby from him.
This was fun to read. Interesting that you're doing a decades challenge into the future now.
Poor Moritz! How did you have him make his money in the villain scenario, if it's not too personal a question for me to ask of him?
@mightysprite thank you for reading. Somehow I still love that save and the family so I keep counting the years. It over 2 years old and the only game I didn't abandon for new things after a while. Hmm, his aspiration was serial romantic and so he was a scammer in some certain ways. But I didn't finished the aspiration before changing him, in the end for the last 200.000 I tried out the James turner trendi "cheat" and sold an overpriced outfit the a Goth member.
I was able to play a little bit, since we are successfully finished the job project. I played other stories, but it too me back to this legacy. I had to paused with this family, because I made a mess with the story and needed a break afterwards, but now I'm on the right path again.
2040-2046
The Wedding of Hannah and Moritz
I still try to figure out how the mws parties are functioning. Other players wrote that these last a whole day, but mine always ended after 4 hours and I'm never able to finish the whole goals in one playthrough.
But here we are. The big day.
A nervous couple in front of the city hall
The vows
The wedding party with the family
Shortly after, Shortly after the labor had started.
Welcome to this world Tobias Kaufmann, born in 2040
To keep the balance of good and bad events: The regime started a civil war in 2041, and Moritz joined the Resistance, Hannah is anything but happy about his move.
The regime doesn't make jokes and the family have to flee in to the underground and had to move severals times.
Moritz practise fightings, alone and with fellow fighters of the resistance, Hannah's brother Finn also joined the forces.
They've tried to keep a normal life as good as possible.
In 2044 they found an abandoned old house in a small village, this house had still some toys for toddlers, Tobias was the happiest child in that moment.
When Hannah was looking around, discovered that this house must be from one of her ancestors, since the people of the pictures look familiar to her.
The basement was pretty well equiped and Moritz went through the military ranks very quick.
During the night Hannah washed Tobias in the bath tub and admonished to be quiet.
Later they are back in the safe basement.
Hannah started also to worked for the resistance. With her public relations skills she filmed everything and promoting the fights.
Finally th regime lost his powers in 2045 and The family decided to stay in that house, bought it and wants now to renovate it.
Family Portrait
Hannah won an award for her documentary of the resistance.
Happy Birthday Tobias, who is now not and toddler anymore.
Oops, I realized I've played that save over a decade without updating here. I'm sorry. My excuse, I've played a different character in a houseflipper style and I had forgotten the time. Sometimes I had to switch to other family members because Mccc went wild, in cause of my settlement save and I had to roll back the settings and now my sims have to live which the consequences. It's a picture-heavy post.
2046-2056
But let's begin with good news from the realm of deads.
Wilhelm and Luisa have married again.
Tobias had a normal childhood, he is still shy but he managed it to get friends.
He met the reason why I had forgotten the time, her name is Luisa Klee.
Suddenly he became a teenager and I've change his style.
At first he had green hair and then he changed the hair color to blue.
Luisa Klee is the niece of Hannah Kaufmann and daughter of Christina Klee, who became very religious. Luisa is still influenced but she have her own mind and ideas.
Now in peace, the siblings spent more time together and with their parents.
Luisa Klee had a boyfriend name Marco Janssen.
He even became her fiancé and spent time with her family, while he had trouble to stay at university.
Her Grandpa Dominik gave her a financal boost for her own workshop, but he was shock when he saw that place, it was a garbage dump.
In case you are curious, I have uploaded both rundown places in the gallery.
Dominik is still not convinced but the whole family helped to to clean that place.
The other sims are still using this place to get rid off their broken stuff and Luisa was working day and night as a freelacer and manufacturer
Christmas 2050 was stated good but went very sad.
I thought I could have atleast one day extra, but this was not the case. RIP Dominik Kaufmann.
Later, Marco Janssen left her for an other woman, which he married suddenly (via neighborhood story). Later he wanted Luisa back, but she ghosted him. Luisa, who owns now a successful business bought the building next to her workshop, but this place was also a dump.
Tobias visit her reguarly in the shop.
She also met a new love and got engage again. His name is Michael Schmitz.
The progress is slow, but unstoppable.
Sandra Kaufmann was ordering her pictures.
Together with Christina they prepared feast for the whole family on christmas.
That's more than enough for today, thank you for reading.

This politics divided families and gave energy to the bad guys who want to turn back the time to the darker ages. I have seriously no idea if this decision will have some bad impact in the future, I hope not.
But lets start with the good news. Amelie has her first kiss.
Christmas time
When the family went to church Hannah, too young and too tired, stayed back and got an extra present.
Between Christmas and New Years Eve, Sandras son Finn was born and Hanna was happy about her younger brother.
New years Eve.
Sandra was cooking and Amelie entertained Hannah.
Party and fun activies
The new years eve scandal made Dominik angry and he decided to get fit again, while Amelie went into a phase where she wanted to be left alone by her parents and sibling.
This brings us to the Talk.
So she left it to Dominik to talk about it.
Birthdays
Annabelle, Christina and Finn had their birthdays.
Christina
Finn
this post will be maybe the last post, my decade challenge has now officially ended. It took a while until I found my motivation back, but then I rushed through without making many picture, that's why I extended until 2020, where Amilie grew up into an young adult. My focus was on her story.
2017 - 2020
Let's start with two toddlers playing around.
2018 marks the years, where Holger Kaufmann died during a heat wave. He became 71 years old.
Hannah has also celebrate her birthday.
Amelie started a professional training as a masseuse.
When Amelie became 18 years old she moved out in her own appartment.
When her boyfriend break up with her in late 2019, she started to struggle with her life and began to meet the wrong people.
Sometimes she could not remember why she slept on the park bench.
Then at the beginning of 2020 Covid19 arrived in Germany and in March 2020 the social life was totally banish from the public for a while.
She will face an uncertain future ...
The End of the Decade Challenge
Thank you all for reading and your patience, I was happy about every comment here in this tread.

After the end I tried out some adult mods to add a darker theme, but unfortunately or luckely (depends on the view ;D) I can't much write about it, but I'll will give you a a brief overview what was happened in the following years from 2021-2027.
I have deleted many sims and the relationship/ghosts. The generation tree is now broken, but the performance is much better now.
Fabian Kaufmann died offscreen around the year 2023.
Amelie went into some addictions and rushed into a marriage with a criminal. With the help of him she the became free from the addiction years later. She is still in love him and support him with his dark schemes, he had threaten her much better than her other so called friends. She is now producing catvideo content and expecting her first baby.
Birthdays
Annabelle and Christina aged uped to yound adults. Annabelle has been moved out in to her own apartment.
Christina went fully religious and met her future husband in the group gathering. She fell in love and just wanted to make him happy. As religious zealots the tension between them and the family occults (Sandra and Hannah are active spellcasters) arise.
Her first baby was shortly born after 9 month.
Erika is now a greatgrandmother and Sandra a grandmother.
Annabelle got engaged in 2027 and expecting also a baby.
Her new boyfriend is a welcome excuse to get away from her family and the loud new born.
/cough
I still don't have enough time to play, but when I do, play for a long time at once. Unfortunately I did made some mistakes, like starting a scenario in my legacy save, but I didn't want to delete that new sim. Or was surprised by the story itself. However I did incorporate it somehow in my family. I didn't make note on the exact timestamps and forgot to write down inmediately, So I'm guessing. But I would like to recap my story and head cannon which I had all the time. If I'm allowed to do so?
2028 -2040
Finn became a teenager
Erika came to visit.
I've changed the appearance of Sandra and Dominik, before the became elders.
At this point juvenile Hannah was still in love with her boyfriend and were visiting a romance festival together
Finn loves gardening, but the times got harder. Self-provisioning became necessary in due of the hon going inflation and crisis.
Erika died in 2028, I was able to catch this sad moment.
Well Hannah went to to highschool for one day and joined the streamer after school activity. On her firstday this happenened twice. Not good when the teacher were just watching it, instead of helping. After this, Hannah left the school, at her age of 17, she's getting the Abitur in Germany and moved away from home.
She invited her parents and boyfriend to her new home, she shares the rent with my villenary scenario Sim Moritz Schwarz.
They becamejust gofriends, he tried to flirt with her, but unsuccessfully, she has the new loyal trait, when she had her Birthday. He respected this after a no.
Time flies. Moritz try to make money, Hannah was studying communication, and her small community and business plan gave her a small income.
Pure fiction and headcannon from now on:
In 2032 we had a Coup d'état, and the democracy was abolished (Okay that was a try to make a holiday on friday, I've learned with highschool children you can't create a holiday on that day). Apparently whe had also a war. Annabelle died off-screen from a cow plant around 2034, with is in the original rule the cow-plant meant to be war, her husband died in a fire, leaving behind her only son Jens. He was adopted by Amelie then.
Around 2036 Hannah break up with her boyfriend and finished the university. With her experience as streamer she has joint the PR-Branch. Moritz was also almost done with his scenario.
He finished that scenario in 2037. As a villain he madesome difficult choices and met the wrong guys. He vanished without a trace for one year. Hannah was in sorrow, but manage to get a manager position in a new company, while still searching for him.
Then in 2038, the was a sign, he was kidnapped and Hannah had to pay the all his dirty money to the cartell. His body and mind was broken and he was very thin, but he at least was alive. He didn't said anything about what was happened, but Hannah was happy to have him back.
Hanna is helping him to get back to his normal, but this is a slow process. He went from a out-going, self assured and very romantic guy into a lonesome man with insecurities in social behaviour. But he was trusting her very fast and considered her as his only friend.
The love between both grew and they came together in 2039.
And there was still a romantic part in Moritz soul, asking her if she would to marry him in 2040.
So far she also expect a baby from him.
Poor Moritz! How did you have him make his money in the villain scenario, if it's not too personal a question for me to ask of him?
I was able to play a little bit, since we are successfully finished the job project. I played other stories, but it too me back to this legacy. I had to paused with this family, because I made a mess with the story and needed a break afterwards, but now I'm on the right path again.
2040-2046
The Wedding of Hannah and Moritz
I still try to figure out how the mws parties are functioning. Other players wrote that these last a whole day, but mine always ended after 4 hours and I'm never able to finish the whole goals in one playthrough.
But here we are. The big day.
A nervous couple in front of the city hall
Welcome to this world Tobias Kaufmann, born in 2040
To keep the balance of good and bad events: The regime started a civil war in 2041, and Moritz joined the Resistance, Hannah is anything but happy about his move.
The regime doesn't make jokes and the family have to flee in to the underground and had to move severals times.
Moritz practise fightings, alone and with fellow fighters of the resistance, Hannah's brother Finn also joined the forces.
In 2044 they found an abandoned old house in a small village, this house had still some toys for toddlers, Tobias was the happiest child in that moment.
When Hannah was looking around, discovered that this house must be from one of her ancestors, since the people of the pictures look familiar to her.
The basement was pretty well equiped and Moritz went through the military ranks very quick.
During the night Hannah washed Tobias in the bath tub and admonished to be quiet.
Later they are back in the safe basement.
Hannah started also to worked for the resistance. With her public relations skills she filmed everything and promoting the fights.
Finally th regime lost his powers in 2045 and The family decided to stay in that house, bought it and wants now to renovate it.
Family Portrait
Hannah won an award for her documentary of the resistance.
Happy Birthday Tobias, who is now not and toddler anymore.
2046-2056
But let's begin with good news from the realm of deads.
Wilhelm and Luisa have married again.
Tobias had a normal childhood, he is still shy but he managed it to get friends.
Suddenly he became a teenager and I've change his style.
At first he had green hair and then he changed the hair color to blue.
Luisa Klee is the niece of Hannah Kaufmann and daughter of Christina Klee, who became very religious. Luisa is still influenced but she have her own mind and ideas.
Now in peace, the siblings spent more time together and with their parents.
He even became her fiancé and spent time with her family, while he had trouble to stay at university.
Her Grandpa Dominik gave her a financal boost for her own workshop, but he was shock when he saw that place, it was a garbage dump.
Dominik is still not convinced but the whole family helped to to clean that place.
Christmas 2050 was stated good but went very sad. I thought I could have atleast one day extra, but this was not the case. RIP Dominik Kaufmann. Later, Marco Janssen left her for an other woman, which he married suddenly (via neighborhood story). Later he wanted Luisa back, but she ghosted him. Luisa, who owns now a successful business bought the building next to her workshop, but this place was also a dump.
Tobias visit her reguarly in the shop.
She also met a new love and got engage again. His name is Michael Schmitz.
The progress is slow, but unstoppable.
Sandra Kaufmann was ordering her pictures.
Together with Christina they prepared feast for the whole family on christmas.
That's more than enough for today, thank you for reading.
