I loaded up the game for a little bit, but was unable to play for very long due to the wind here causing power problems.

If you remember, there was a crash at the end of the last update.

Well, Uliana was back to being a toddler.  So, I did a quick skill check and she was all skilled up and I immediately aged her up.

In the neverending quest to earn money, when Iris wished to make a Time Machine, I had her do it to sell.

Sabrina and Robbie are home.  They are getting ready to have their birthday, but help first by upgrading the sprinklers.

This was actually posted here during gameplay.

Boobs Sabrina is almost an exact replica of Iris, but with Spike’s hair.

Robbie surprised me.  He is so cute.

Splash and Max had moreee puppies.   Both are male, so I kept the little one closest to us.

Apparently she was pregnant in the last update.  I do recall that I gave her fertility treatment after Uliana was born.  Please, please give us an heir this time.

Iris gives us Victor and Virgil.

I seriously was bouncing in my seat.  I didn’t peek though.  This is Victor.

OMG!  Virgil is the purplest cutie ever.  I still see a bit of Grandpa Alfie around the eyes, but I have no clue where the purple hair and eyebrows comes from.  I lubs him!

Are we ready to sneak a look at Victor?  Cross your fingers boys and girls. I’m tired of babies.

And we got it.  Green hair, check.  Purple eyes, check.  Woot!

Iris was ecstatic over having an heir now.  She immediately sat down to play with him and completely ignored little Virgil.

Please bare with me.  I am hunting down lag, plus I haven’t opened up the Iris save files in two weeks.  I have some pics left over from last update and I can’t quite remember what was going on.

Our two heir potentials were born last update.  Timmy and Tommy if I remember correctly.

Sabrina is (still?) skilling on the blocks.

I know this little guy has a name, I just can’t remember it for the life of me.  I will insert it here when the game finally loads.  Apparently, he does not like clowns.

Timmy and Tommy are both ready to become toddlers…so am I for that matter.

One of you, please, please have perf. genes.

Well, I guess this is a no, plus he’s sorta creepy looking.

Another no D:  11 kids so far.

I guess they’re sorta cute even if they are not heirs.

Time for skilling.  Quincy really enjoyed helping out and Robbie was never far away either.

Iris was found working out.  She informed me that there would not be any more babies until the T’s hit childhood.

Splash and the unnamed male, had their first litter.

This ends the pics from March 25th.

April 9th ~~

Opened the game up a little while ago and these two were doing their last little bit on the xylophone.  As soon as they are done, they will have birthday time.  Also of note, was serious lag.

I swear he has a name, I just have no clue what it is.  I keep forgetting to look.  His social was in the dumps and it took Quincy two hours to walk from the front door to his bed to brush him.

Splash:  I can haz more babies??

Quincy:  How was your Friday night?  Oh it was great.  I fixed the dishwasher while standing in a puddle of water.

Don’t die.

I quickly directed Spike to mop up around him.

It was a Friday night.  Nothing good was coming from the lag….so I decided that instead of everyone except Sabrina having a birthday, I would throw hers in too.  It was three days early though.

It took 12 hours.  Literally.  There will be no CAS  pics for now.  I have to hunt down the lag..but first..

I went shopping…and I mean major shopping.  To the tune of about 50k spent.  The backyard is a war zone of fun stuff.  I will have to build on to the back of the house to clean up the yard a ton.

As you can see, the first thing on the agenda is get a lullaby out of the photobooth.  It took four tries, but I won.

Yep, my new favorite toy is the photobooth.

This is where the lag finally drove me nuts.  It took 20 minutes to save.  So, I shut it down, and went through my Mods.  Looks like I had two male default skins.  I hope that is the conflict slowing these guys down.

I quickly went straight to CAS.  Quincy got a big makeover and was put on the exchange.  He isn’t ugly or attractive, kinda mid-way between the two.

Robbie, got hair and that’s it.  He looks like a snob.

Sabrina isn’t so bad, but that forehead is big.

Timmy and Tommy are identical in the face department.

Poor guy is so unhappy with me.  Spike adopted him previously.  Meet Max Spunk.

Okay now that this part is done. I guess I better have Quincy move out and check the lag problem. Well, it’s still a bit laggy, but not bad enough to tick me off.

Robbie, Sabrina, Timmy and Tommy were all put in Boarding school in an attempt to lessen the lag.

LOL We got this before she realized she was preggo.  I’ve never seen it before, so it must have came with Showtime.

Karma bit Spike in the behind.  I then sent everyone off to bed.

Spike: I foresee a little person playing with blocks in our future.

This is confirmed the next day.

With no kids in the house, the bored adults train the dogs to hunt.

Iris takes over the garden and the sprinkler upgrades.

Spike chose to upgrade the shower.

Spike and Iris: *flirt flirt*  Shared I wubss you’s.
Max:  I brought the paper.  Give me wubbss too!
Splash:  Attention, attention puppy incoming!

Baby Danny is born.  Since he is a single pup, we will keep him.

I know for a fact that I have done this before, but I just realized that it must have died in a fiery crash.  Redo!


They are officially engaged again.  No wedding for a bit.  I want to try a real wedding party.  It will be my first.  I am hoping that all the kids show up.

Both Iris and Spike had service awards to collect, but they took separate vehicles.  Poor Iris went into labor on the side of the road.

Luckily the hospital is right there.

I hope this one has perfect genes.  Baby #12 is Uliana.  (think Juliana without the J)

I get the feeling that Iris is tired of popping out babies.  I don’t blame her.

Gotta have the cute baby in the swing pic.

It’s the moment of truth!  Oh please please be the heir.

Spike: *puff* If you’ve *puff* seen one birthday *puff* you’ve seen them all *puff*

Omg.  No!  No! No! And note that she is so ugly on top of that.

I have officially had it.  They were both given fertility treatment.

Yep….I’m still amused.

Spike did all of the skilling this time around.

The gnomes watched Iris work in the garden.

Then the next day they took turns playing with her.

Max went on to become an elder.

Not much of a difference if you ask me.  Splash is pregnant again.

Roxy was adopted for Danny.

Eventually it was time for Uliana to get to childhood, do the blocks skill and run off to boarding school.

He followed her around the house for a bit and when she finally stopped, he gave her a massage.  I ❤ Spike.  Such a sweetie.

Uliana seemed to get uglier.

Those money trees that one of the daughters put in finally became harvestable.  They made $15k on them.  They were also able to pick up 10 Money tree seeds and plant them.

Then Crash.  I have no clue how far back I have to go.  I had saved within the hour previously, so hopefully not too much was lost.  So we will end it here.  Let’s hope the bun(s?) in the oven produce an heir/ess.

Well, I went to play just now and loaded the wrong save.  I was sitting there so confused.  Anyway, got out of that save and into the correct one.

I had Michelle and Penny reading skill books, so that means that Opal and Nola were forced to learn the athletic skill.

I am determined to spend time with the kids this time around.  I am not sure if that’s good or bad.  With the way the saves are acting up, they might disappear on me at any time.

With only one bookcase, this is why only two read at once.

Nola snuck off to play with Puppy 3.

Everyone is doing something fun.

Too soon, they all switched spots.

Spike:  I have a really fun idea!
Iris: *waits*

Spike: Wasn’t that fun?
Iris:  *giggles*

Wasn’t expecting this, but yay!

Little Splash was born to Glider and Captain.

Captain then aged up to elder.

I believe this is from Quincy coming home from Boarding School.  Another teen in the house.

Big age gap between these two.  Here is our new and improved Robbie.  We are hoping that the color coded jammies spill over into the genetic pool.

They didn’t, but he is too cute for us to be disappointed.

Mom immediately starts getting the necessary skills out of the way.

I finally found something that lazy Nola likes to do.

Captain: *bark bark bark woof?”  (translated- What you doin humans?)
Jenn and Captain hear *lullaby*

Captain:  Woof woof woof BARK!? (There’s no more room for humans…need more dogs, yes?)

Captain: Bark! (Told you so)

This time around everyone ages up when they are supposed to.  No early cakes.  First up is Michelle.  She will stay here until her sisters are YA too.

We’ll throw in a dash of Robbie since we aren’t used to single birthdays.

Michelle hits YA with Eccentric, Friendly, Good, Loves the Outdoors and adventurous.  When she moves out with her sisters, she quickly gets engaged to a girl name Maritza.  A few years later, they got married.  I knew from prom days that she went both ways.  So, I was not surprised.

Little Robbie is cute.  He is off to play with blocks.

She never popped, or I didn’t see it.  Was kinda surprised when she waddled by.

Several kids had to deal with traffic the night they had to learn to drive.

Iris:  OWWWIEEEE!!!
You’d think after almost a baseball team was shot from that uterus, that she’d be oblivious to the pain by now.

Opal and Robbie: (synchronized) OMG!  Medic!!

Opal:  Man, that looks tiring.  Hope she doesn’t get fatigued after this.
Robbie:  I’m so glad I’m not a girl.

Please, please, please let this Sabrina have perfect genetics.

Three birthdays coming right up!

Scratch that.  Let’s make it an even number!

Yippee!  Woohoo!

Robbie:  I can’t party while there’s a broken appliance in this house!

I totally LOL’d my ass off.  I recall saying she would get her LTW before she moved and she got it during her cake time.  All of her plants popped right then and she got the perfect garden.

Without a makeover, I have no clue who it is.  The poke your eye out boobs make me think  it’s Nola.

I let them all stay for a bit and have cake.

Sabrina failed, but again, too cute to be disappointed in.

Opal: Brave, Snob, Clumsy, Family Oriented and Athletic.
Nola:  Charismatic, Neat, Family Oriented, Genius and Brave.
Penny: Klepto, Perceptive, Genius, Brave and Daredevil.

All four have been saved and will be heading to the exchange later today (3-25).  These three are still single in my game.

The Family went broke, but they bought the four girls an 8 sleeper house, originally a nursery house for the Queen Bee Drones and kids, but I refuse to build, so everyone has these in their towns now.

A few days later, it was time for Sabrina to grow up a bit more.

With an almost empty house, these guys decided that we need a “T” child.   Here’s hoping for a girl.  Tiffany is what we have picked out.

Glider and Captain are still spry enough to pop out more puppies.  Puppy 3 and Viola went with the girls.

Puppies!

Baby!

I finally got around to doing Sabrina’s makeover.

You can see that not only does she have to listen to kids music, I have her glued to the kidz zone too.

We got some family time going on..well they’re all in the same area anyway.

Iris: Dum de dum.  Off to mail gems because we are poor.

Iris: *stares at mailbox*

I knew you could get deliveries from the mail, but for it to force a delivery when it’s empty?  Just mean, mailbox. Just mean.

Meet Timmy and Tommy.  I got gypped out of a Tiffany.  Timmy is the little blue btw.

Hey look at that we caught up to where I opened the game today.  Since they are brand new and I haven’t played yet, we leave off here.  Will one of these cuties be our next heir?  Will Iris and Spike be running for the bed?  There’s room!  We could do some time machine fun!

Stay tuned to our next update.

I am going to spare you yet another replay.  It all happens the same way…almost.

We are in dire need of money.  Iris and Spike write books together now.  We are up to about $40k a week in royalties between the two.

Currently, I have quit having Iris and Spike work on genes in order to keep room for the future kids to show up.  This is our new, first future child.

I wonder if she had green hair in her future life?  I hate that she went to YA with her old lady gray hair.  This is Melissa Wahl.

Soon after, this dapper gentleman came through.

Future child #2 is Morgan Wahl.

Iris spent time with both “children” to get to know them and other motherly things.

I went and built a 10×10 house with just the basic necessities.  I then placed a bunch of them around town.

Quincy is now ready for childhood…again.

Michelle was at boarding school.  I chose to let her come home instead of staying in.   Quincy was signed up to go.  We even had another visit from Bianca.

Quincy’s hairdo pic.

I bought Melissa and then Morgan their own 10×10 house, since that’s all I could afford.  They each made it to their respective houses and got jobs.  Melissa has a boyfriend (I did a rapid immigration this time).  Morgan and Melissa might have known each other in the future or something, they hang out together a lot.

We did manage to re-get Viola, but she didn’t get a cool makeover yet.  Puppy 3 (still no named ghost dog) and Viola are expecting.

We picked up another female for Glider. Her name is Captain. Not big on that as a girl name, but whatever. They have one puppy so far.  This one is a no name little boy.

Closer inspection reveals a heart on the left and a flower on his side.  Pretty darn cute.

Iris is back down to needing one level for her painting and one level for writing in order to get her LTW.  I got bored and I have been reading a blog with a stylist who gives whacky makeovers.  Looked like a heck of a good time.  We forced Iris to become one.  She made her boss over as a Decepticon.  She was not happy, which is okay.  Her and Iris had a huge fight over 3 trait incompatibilities.  They hate each other.

With the addition of the two future children and Michelle aging up, Spike will complete his LTW as soon as the other girls hit teen.

Oh can you guess?  No more babies for now.  I want to focus on the girls for a bit.  I had read that if you use the Time Machine for a “Try For Baby” that the future/past children would show up within a few hours.  Apparently, that is untrue.  It took a week for both future kids to show up.  Iris and Spike are not allowed near it anymore.

Not only did Nola, Opal and Penny turn teen, they got home in time for prom.

Michelle – at home reading, going to school and working on skills.  She is level 3 in inventing, level 2 in charisma, level 8 in cooking, level 3 in gardening, level 7 in handiness, level 6 in logic, level 4 in mixology, level 4 in writing, level 3 in martial arts and level 5 in photography….only from classes and book reading.  She is home schooled so that we can do all this.   Her LTW is to be a Celebrated 5-star chef.  She is good, eccentric, friendly and loves the outdoors.  I am going to pick her last trait at YA and give her Natural Cook.

Nola – has made it on the honor roll.  She has not picked a LTW.  She has not been home (as with the other two girls) to have read many books.  She is level 7 in writing and the rest are what she earned as a toddler with books.  She is a Party animal who is neat, brave and afraid of water….wouldn’t that cancel out the brave part?

Opal – is on the honor roll and wants to have the Perfect Garden.  I am hoping to have that done before she hits YA.  Her gardening skill is currently at level 4.  She is a Clumsy snob who is brave and athletic.  Her best skill is logic and it’s at level 5.

Penny – Enrolled in Military high school since she wants to be an Astronaut.  Her handiness skill is level 7, writing skill is mastered and logic is level 9.  I think she’s been sneaking books as this was all news to me.  Not sure about the writing skill…I might have done that to her during childhood.  She is a Brave, Perceptive, genius who likes to steal stuff.

The reason for the formal makeovers was for prom.  Penny is the only one that came back with a romantic interest.  The universal NPC babysitter, Davey Linell.  I swear the goober follows me around to each world.

I even gave Iris and Spike makeovers too.  We will see them next time.  This was basically a catch up update to how I replayed through the future kids.  I quit doing the Time Machine when Quincy was a toddler, which might explain only getting two future kids instead of three.  I’m not rushing the kids off for once, as I can just use YA potions when needed.  There are 7 people in the house and 5 dogs, one of whom is pregnant with a litter that could end up being 1-4 puppies.  I also did not take any pics of the replay.  I felt that you can pretty much look at the last two chapters to see how it might have gone.  I just don’t have a Robbie, Seth or Sabrina.  I am hoping they will be born in the future though….no not time machine future.

Due to writer stupidity and a situation of not saving, we had to replay almost a full update.  Let’s just do a highlight reel up to the “L” kids’ birthdays.

The pic for re-skilling.  While Iris runs by half naked.

Alfie was forced to have a public birthday with the girls.

It took several tries to get Iris to the cake with Opal.  Penny is derping for the audience.

Don’t quote me, but I believe Nola is on the left and Opal is on the right.

Can’t mistake our Pretty Penny.  I didn’t explain her very well in the previous chapter.  We landed in Sunset Valley and she had appeared also.  The pop up to name a new baby came up.  Iris wasn’t pregnant.  I  think it might have been a stuck pregnancy, but I have no clue.

Time Machine was finished and utilized…extensively.

Skilling before boarding school.

Now we get to Leo, Lily and Lucy’s birthday.

A quickie to up the fun levels that are dropping.

Baby….she popped into a Luigi shirt??  Ugh

We quickly changed that then chained her to the easel.

I was so not expecting this to happen.  Alfie walked out of work and the camera zoomed to him.  He was maybe 85 yrs old.  I had him jogging everwhere for the last skill goal thingy…jog however many meters to extend your life or whatever it was.  He still had almost 200 to go.

I shift clicked these two here so that Alfie wouldn’t be alone.   Grimmy was at the park stuck for three hours.  I had to reset him.

Than he pulled a Tart Family and showed up invisible and in graduation clothes.  Stupid glitches.  Oh and Iris went into labor.

Her and Spike grabbed Alfie’s gravemarker then walked down the street to the hospital.  Here is little Quincy.  The first boy of this generation and hopefully our perfect genetics heir.

Iris is in dire need of a new haircut.  Quincy is going to age up and be our hero.

Or not…lol. Cute little guy and he got daddy’s hair.

More time machine fun.  Yes, Spike, more babies.

Daddy does the skilling and I had Iris out collecting stuff for money.  She found the very first woohooium I have ever seen too.

Didn’t think it would happen, but cue our Young Again Potions.

So cute.  Finally got skilled and off to have cake.

He was quickly enrolled in boarding school.

She did make it to the shower, and to kill two birds with one stone..I directed Spike to jump in and nail her.

Baby!

If you wondered how she takes it when they leave for school, she bawls.  Like a girl.

I sent Iris out to try fishing.  You can see that Grandpa Victor is out and following her around.  He then just stands and stares at her.  It’s really creepy.

She went into labor and delivered right in the living room.  Meet little Robbie.

I have not reinstalled the swings yet, so an immediate cake was ordered.

Daddy’s eyes and the random brown hair that has shown up since the first generation.

Totally forgot to show you the Husky we picked out and adopted for Glider.  Here is the very first puppy.

Jade came out for a visit.  She ate cake, had a VR adventure and then cleaned the house.

The last of the skilling.

I couldn’t believe what they had queued up next.

Poor Robbie hadn’t even gotten to the sparklies before Iris and Spike ran for the TM.  He didn’t get a makeover pic either.  Poor kid.

Spike was out early one morning mailing off all of the gems and metals for Iris.  I decided it was time to put his hair back on and then decided to make him over.  I am hoping that the green and purple shirt will channel perfect genetics through sperm donation.

Iris alternates between book writing, painting and inventing.

Then I thought, let’s have a garden too.

Oh and let’s have more babies.  We blasted kids stuff in every room.

Viola is seen here napping with Bianca.

Spike has been working out constantly.  Here he just hit level 10 in athletics.

Meanwhile, back at the inventing table…

We get Seth

We get swings and we get a little Sabrina.

We got 5 teens and a Spike gets a lot of lifetime points.

More cake.

Seth got Dad’s eyes and Mom’s hair.

Sabrina is officially the generation 4 heir.   Now Spike and Iris can kick back and just work and max skills as this is the last child.

Viola looks like she’s having a bad rendering day.

but did give us two adorable little puppies.  I sure hope I saved them.

Almost identical.  I think one was a bit bigger than the other.  One was a female the other male.

I was highly amused to see that her shadow on the wall is bald.

After 8 kids all at the romantic interest stage, I finally made sure that they got what they wanted.  I wanted a drama free generation, I got it.  I didn’t get a drama free save file, but oh well.

Dad and puppy watching tv together was too cute to pass up.  Canine gnome seems to be watching it incorrectly.

The girls made it to teen and only have a couple of days left, so here they are.

They sure turned out nice looking.

Everyone had an IF come to life, just for population in town purposes.

I have no clue who’s who, but there was a Lucky, Pat and Patches.

Here we have a Michelle (her actual birthday), Nola, Opal, Penny and Quincy..Quincy still was closer to childhood than YA, but I had the heir and they needed to go.

I sent them on their way and took a dog or three with them.  Everyone was accounted for except for Michelle and Quincy.  They were completely gone.  They were not dead, they were not listed as homeless and they were no longer on the family tree.

I hadn’t realized that the future/past kids won’t show up with an overstuffed house.  Cue our first future child.  I think his name started with an M.  I started to wonder if future kids could make past kids disappear, but I kept going in the hopes of finding Michelle and Quincy.

Except for Spike’s skin tone, he looks more like an Alfie clone.

One YA potion later…o.O  WOWZA!

Master painting and Writing skills..check!

TM spat our future child #2.

..and number three.

I sent these three out into the world.  Only the third one survived.  The first two disappeared the same way Michelle and Quincy did.  I didn’t save.  I just exited the game.  I was so mad.  The next day I loaded up the game and saw only three save files.  I was like, “Where’s number 4?”   It was a few spaces away and had hidden away like it knew I would need it.  I was seriously glad to see it even though it meant losing a whole half a generation….Quincy was a toddler still.  I saw that save and looked at it and decided to replay it differently.

My drama free generation failed, but at least the family wasn’t affected by it.  Stay tuned for a real update sometime in the future.
