    @mcrudd See, you've falling into the classic Sims trap. You don't want multiples and the game will give you multiples. You've got to get at least neutral with having multiples for you to get out of the trap.

    How do I do that without falling into a trap of triplets LOL. I have no tv or radio because listening to kids tv and kids radio enhances the chances of twins. I actually did that on purpose with my first 100 baby challenge and had several twins and triplets, so this time I am trying to not have it, so I can enjoy the game play more, it takes a sim week to do one full range of aging up, I am in a good routine now, but then twins just messes it up, you can never handle two toddlers the same even with two parents, I usually go into the next week and then it messes up my school grades until I get back to my Monday to Monday game play ;)

    Well, it has taken a while to get started but I decided to play along and see how well I can do.

    Here are the Easley's - Evan is a wannabe writer and Kylee is a painter. They live in Willow Creek for now (using the same house that I started with my failed 100 baby challenge!). Money is extremely tight at the moment.

    6FaoPnK.png

    Things are about to get a bit more difficult as Kylee just found out that she is pregnant with her first child.

    PDDzZHp.png

    The welcome wagon just left and they are trying to get a bit of money together so that they can provide a proper nursery.

    Hi All, I am still here...just haven't played this save in awhile. @mcrudd - Oh gosh...yes, I know all about those multiples! hehehe Wow! Babies 41 and 42 Olivia and Odin...twins! Oh gosh! I mean it's great for the challenge...but it is a pain waiting for them both to get the A to age them up.

    @Llandros2012 -
    The Easley's look like a wonderful couple...and baby number one is already on the way! Congrats!

    @Signofhatredlol Welcome to babies Royce and Grant <3 All of your sims are nice and busy in your household, congrats on Josh and Edward moving out into the big world ;)

    @Dinkus83 Dean should take a chill pill LOL Aww welcome little Timothy <3 Happy new years to the Archers household. Aww Stefan such a sweetie to love his new sibling. Congratulations on the new pregnancy Eva. Ugh smashed dollhouse, wonder who the culprit is … Farewell Quintin and Ramiro, do come stop by for some cake ;) Welcome baby Ullal <3 and congratulations on the newest pregnancy now :) Great update

    Hey there at @Llandros2012 welcome to the family version, its much more fun than the other one we did. Aww you did not fail the other challenge <3 You just lost a little interest, it does become repetitive. Welcome to the Easley family. Evan and Kylee looks lovely. Congratulations to Kylee on her first pregnancy, can’t wait to see the little one soon. Hope they make money to get a lovely little nursery.

    @Soulgal7 Hi there, its ok real life does get busy sometimes, only reason I am simming a ton is because of the isolation in the house and my husband working a shut 12 hours a day. Yeah twins are a pain, toddlers take a bit longer to skill up too, but yeah the schooling takes longer and goes over my week routine I have in the house. Sometimes I just let time run out back to a Monday which is a pain but works better for me LOL

    @all I will be loading my game soon, just need to grab a quick brekkie and feed the dog. Lady is like a little prairie dog at the door every time I walk past, she is like MOM LOOK AT ME. She wants food as soon as I start moving in the morning.

    You got to get to neutral to multiples. Like you don't care if you get them or not. Actively not wanting them is the game's sign to give you them.

    hahahaha I shall try that mentally and see if my brainwaves lets the game know I am quite happy to have more twins ;)

    @all, loading my game now, but I guess its going to be a while to get to age up stage with the twins, although I did manage to play last night I still have a way to go.

    Kylee has almost completed the Painter Aspiration and has been keeping the family financially afloat. Evan was forced to hold onto his completed books until his aspiration asked him to sell and so he is finally bringing in some money. He even got nominated for an award for one of his novels.

    I bought him a basketball court because it kept popping up - he wore me down! But it made Kylee stop and try to go play so it didn't stay out for long. For now, it's in the inventory.

    wukPLoA.png

    In order to stay fit, Evan will have to just settle for the workouts on the tv until the money starts rolling in.

    I6g8eOE.png

    Kylee is working hard but is on her feet all the time. This has to be painful after a while.

    a8U3Giw.png

    Finally, she goes into labor and Evan promptly freaks out. It is the first so that is expected.

    Et4UEys.png

    But this was not expected. Meet babies 1 and 2 - Annabelle and Ayden Easley. Thanks for making it a bit more challenging in the beginning!

    @Llandros2012. Well done Kaylee bring in those simoleons with your awesim paintings. Wow Evan congratulations on getting nominated for your novel. Hahaha I have disabled whims for the reason of them being persistent with things I don’t want in my game, especially basketball court, sims are obsessed with those, so I understand why it’s in the inventory. Oh my gosh he is taking that tv workout pretty serious. Oh my goodness a double start !!! Welcome baby Ayden and Annabelle, they are so super cute <3 With this challenge thank goodness we only require three skill poinits and not completed ones ;) Lovely update, I will post mine soon, just waiting for Ann to give birth

    So I forgot to get Ann pregnant again, both girls have A's and the toddlers just about completed their 3 skillpoints when I noticed :# So just about everyone is ready to age up after long hard struggles, especially with the potty training, I just forgot to get Ann pregnant in time. I will wait back to Monday in my game and then age them all up, they will be in the house a bit longer with completed skills and A's but oh well, I need to concentrate more LOL

    @all, Trying to get myself caught up on comments, and then I'll have another update. So, I should have myself all caught up here before going back to work in the morning. I'm guessing I'll be exhausted, based on the fact that random wandering and cleaning the house has worn me out the last few days, so I may not have another update here for a couple days after this. But, we'll see ;)

    @mcrudd
    Congrats on Jennifer moving out and all the age ups. Kelly did look so sad, glad it was just from school and not more serious sadness. Welcome baby Neve! The giraffe onesie is adorable :) Congrats on Kelly out and more age ups! And more twins! Welcome babies Olivia and Odin! The game loves you ;) I agree with @Seera1024 that's just the way video game luck works. If you really want something, it's not going to happen; but if you really don't want it, it'll happen all the time :D That's why I rarely get multiples, cuz I really want triplets lol. I haven't had it happen yet.

    Oooh Neve is angry looking lol. And, sad Maya. They know the twins are going to mess up their routine ;) Lol at your dog, we have two cats and they have been extra needy since I'm the only one in the house right now hehe. Everyone asleep except for Olivia, she's going to be the troublemaker I guess ;)

    Congrats on Leelee moving out! At least with twins you get to watch the cuteness of toddlers playing together. Welcome baby Paula! Lol forgotten pregnancy again. Those twins really got you ;) Congrats on Maya moved out! And all the other age ups, getting back to schedule. Welcome baby Quin!

    @Signofhatredlol Congrats on all your progress! You're moving right along. Welcome baby Royce!

    @Llandros2012 Glad you've joined in for the fun :) Welcome to the Easleys! They're a cute couple. And congrats on the first pregnancy already! Congrats on the award nomination and lol at the basketball hoop. Sometimes sims just can't be trusted with things :D And twins for you too! Welcome Annabelle and Ayden! The twins are looking cute and Evan looking sharp for his award ceremony. Congrats on the new pregnancy!

    @Dinkus83 Wow - you have made alot of progress - I am going slow but have just wrapped up 2 weeks in my game. Also, I think we are on the same game schedule as I just had the Season Premiere holiday and Love Day this week as well. Congrats on little Wyatt - #24!

    The Easely's

    xkskax7.png
    The family gathered around the very small TV to catch the season premiere - it was a full day of homework and projects so everyone struggled to get through the show!

    xZNLZYz.png

    Annabelle and Ayden are still B students and it is the weekend so they spent some time working on their childhood aspiration.

    The newest member of the family, Bryanna, spent her day getting to know Blarfy!
