So... we have to rework the house to have room for an extra kid. I'm not thrilled with how the house looks with the addition, but it's functional for now. Decorated the nursery real quick for Beryllium. Hold on-- WHY DOES THE BEAR HAVE TEETH KILL IT WITH FIRE I definitely was NOT getting rid of the downstairs bathroom (or any of the bathrooms!) to make room for this kid, so we shuffled it over to the computer closet and then moved the computers under the stairs. I had to rota

We got enough money to finish up Lithium's room, so I figured I would start off with that before I forgot. Can you tell I went CC shopping? I was more looking for pose packs and animations for photo mode, but it doesn't seem like there are too many available just yet. I was already subscribed to most of them. The other side of Lithium's room. Speaking of, the twins aged up to preteens pretty soon after I started up the game. I went ahead and gave Helium a point in mind, so h

When Julian and Ellie got their next paychecks, I started working on furnishing the bedrooms to be a little nicer, starting with the master bedroom on the first floor. It's still kind of bare, but better than an empty box with a bed. I also moved the desk and computers I'd had set up in here into one of the spaces that were meant to be closets on the original floor plan. Other side of the room. For science. Ellie, Julian, and Helium all got sick at work and school respectivel

I'm sure I had something witty here and then the site ATE my draft other than the pictures so. Just insert whatever you think would be the best intro to this chapter here. Woohoo. I don't even know what's going on here. Lithium: I am establishing dominance. When everyone went to work/school/daycare, this lady stood outside the house all day looking pissed. I know I looked up who she was previously, but I do not care to do so a second time. Meanwhile, Julian got fired for eith

I feel like I went real light on pictures since I was mainly focused on keeping the (spoilers) babies alive and not taken away or whatever happens in Paralives. This is what a child in a loving and stable environment looks like. I did remember to take a picture of the 'office' area as of right now, though. Featuring our souvenir mug, the deer figure thing from the treasure chest, and a tiny bronze trophy for donating stuff to the museum. The art and the cat thing are from the

Once upon a time, there was a young woman who had a dream. A completely reasonable and normal dream to have. She dreamed of starting a bloodline with each descendant named after an element of the periodic table. Ellie: That seems more like your dream. Okay, but you're the one who's going to do it. Ellie: This doesn't seem like a great place to raise a family. I did kind of mess up with picking the most expensive lot, so this is only the second most expensive, but it's also ri
