Hello everyone,
I wanted to start a new thread about my family and their legacy, the old thread was about the decade challenge, this thread is just a how this family live through their lifes, mabye later I will probably re-do a decade challenge as fictiv history challenge just set in the future. Although I've written several times that this legacy is finished, well, I'm very wrong. I simply can't and won't play without this family anymore. I tried other families, but I return everytime and this savefile is the most advanced and adapted.
So, let me give you an proper introduction. We are starting with the sixth generation of the Kaufmann family in the year 2063. If you are interested what was happened before, you can read the family history here.
This is my heir Tobias Kaufmann, born in 2040 as the only child of Hannah and Moritz Kaufmann. He is working in a car and repair workshop "Autowerkstatt Klee" as an engineer/a mechanic. My gameplay is set most of the time in Germany, but several worlds are connected to their counterpart in the real world .
His personality changed during the time, as the only child he spent his childhood alone in an underground bunker, as his parent were active in the resistance, he became a loner, a geek and socially awkward. But when he started his jobtraining, he has totally after being accepted how he is, he loves being in a group with like-minded people, although he became a perfectionist and a maker.
This is his lovely wife Sara Kaufmann neé Schwarz, and their two children son Benjamin, born in 2060 and daughter Anja, born in 2062.
In 2063 Tobias and Sara just enjoy the time with their newborn daughter.
Benjamin is a good big brother (trait fussy), Anja adores him.
The paid parental is over and both parents have to work again, the budget is tight, the home still needs improvement and renovations.
That's all for now. Have a nice day

The little ones were growing so fast. Anja plays with her brother now. She has learned a lot from him.
Anja has a little birthday party with the whole family. The grandparents (parents of Sara in the first picture) were very proud of their youngest granddaughter and have adored her.
Since it was also Christmas Eve the children were sent to bed for a short nap before opening the gifts.
Unfortunately later during the night sara received a phonecall, her parents didn't arrived at home.
During her mourning she discovered that she is pregnant again.
The house was too small for 3 children, but Tobias has reached the top of his career as mechanic and later he has received an opportunity for a higher paid position. But the family has to move to the United States of America for that job. They found a house for around 50.000 Simoleon, it was in their price range, because it was a monstrosity, ugly house, built during the civil uprising during the 2050 in a desert town surrounded by a wasteland. The climate change hits the country hard and so plants can't surive on the surface, they would be burnt under the strong sun.
Sara got also a position in the town to make it habitable again.
Suprised by the high living costs Tobias struggle to renovate his house. He found himself in a shady side hustle to make some money to pay the horrendous bill.
As part of his new job he should also teach new students in mechanic at the University.
Selma was born in 2065.
Since the Selma needs the most attention from Sara, she denys to be breastfead and is always hungry, Tobias mainly take care of Benjamin and Anja.

I have also change the playground in park a little bit.
2066 - 2067
Benjamin and Anja just chatting on the couch, before Benjamin has celebrated his birthday with a Chocolate cake.
Meanwhile Selma has made a huge progress and stands already.
But not always she was a happy little sunshine.
She grew so fast and I fell in love immediately when I saw her. I don't know why, but her first appearance was the little toddler cc-Dirndl, she was looking so cute.
But she had returned seconds later.
Someone is seeking for trouble...
Since living in the USA is still kind of dangerous in the future, Tobias and Sara have a strict parenting style to keep their children safe. They have high expectations in Benjamin, who suffers under these strict houshold rules and expectations.
He would rather play with the other children than study.
He often arrived at home too late after the 7 pm curfew, when it was already dark outside, so he got scolded ...
... and scolded ...
... until he got a punishment, it was a light one but he felt threatened unfair.
As you can see Sara is pregnant again. The Doctor told them it will be twins, which was a shock for them, since they couldn't afford a bigger house and the budget is still tight. But she had to keep the unborn babies and there were no financial support from the government, which they were used to when they had lived in Germany.
Tobias and Sara are worried about the behaviour of Benjamin, they both work very hard and late, and they have no money for a babysitter, which is a dire situation, because they had to leave him unsupervised.
They try to adapted the US-American Thanksgiving in there Life, playing a happy family.
Benjamin starts to complaining about his life.
Slowly he understood that saying sorry and helping with the chores prevents a punishment.
To keep him at home at time, they allowed him to have sleepover party, which was a huge success.
Then Christmas came and the family followed the revival of an old us-american tradition of wearing family onesies at christmas, but they still opening the gifts on christmas eve as part of their german heritage, no german child would ever change that. Sorry
Edit: I forgot almost the most important news. I have restored the family tree, at least for the heirs. Since I made a reset, released almost all ghosts and cleared all relationships at the end of challenge, the tree was total broken, so I went to older saves files, saved the older generation heirs and included them again. Then I changed the relationship before let them die again. Surprisingly I didn't need to changed the relationship of Wilhelm and his son Hans, he has remembered him as his son, even the friendship bar was the same. I had tears in my eyes, when I saw this.
