Yuma Heights is a great house -- I really enjoyed it when I had a family living there.
I think you can change names if you use the dresser instead of the closet.
I like the way Cirius looks, and I'd rather see Liberty's looks perpetuated than Akira's. But that's just my preference -- Liberty's been around longer.

Congratulations on moving out Gen 2!

@MarianT

I remember that one of your heirs lived there and I've never played on this lot before so I'm so excited about Yuma Heights.
Although part of me wanted to match Cirius with another premade townie, I just couldn't pass up Mizuki.

I'm very fond of Cirius already! I hadn't thought of looking at genetic transmission that way.
Usually, I tend to hope that sons resemble their father and daughters resemble their mother.
Sometimes the genes seem to even skip a generation, but it's probably only my imagination.

I absolutely loved playing Libery Lee, my very first mother to triplets!
In one of my failed immortal dynasty attempts, she also had triplets with a pollinator but didn't live in the dynasty house.
Do you think she might have some secret dev-given gene (code) that makes her more prone to triplets?

A Townie Dynasty with Leeway: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
« Reply #62 on: December 31, 2017, 03:49:21 AM »
2.8: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Week 6/Saturday

Cirius: We're hoping for two kids so we travel somewhere that promotes multiple births.
That's when it hits me: I'd rather have Mizuki give two single births instead.
Mizuki: Easy for you to say, dear. You won't be the one going through pregnancy twice.

Cirius: Since you're 11 days older than me, I want to shorten that gap as much as possible, my love. So, no multiple births, please!
Admittedly, it will be a hardship having to try for baby on two different occasions. *winks
And so Cirius persuades Mizuki to head home...


Cirius: Being a male heir has its drawbacks. I wish I could take a pregnancy test on Mizuki's behalf!
I did see her cover her mouth once, though, as if she were nauseous.
Mizuki: I'd say finding me cleaning the toilet like this offers pretty solid evidence.

Cirius: Will our child arrive four days later without a pregnancy test?
Don't know. Pregnancy times seem different since the Parenthood's release.


Cirius: Allow me to introduce the rest of the household, starting with my father-in-law.
Tetsu Hayashi is a Pro Gamer (eSport Gamer 8 ) with zero video gaming skill. *stifles laugh

He'll be an elder in 10 more days, but I'm going to ask him to keep working since he's so unskilled.


Cirius: On your right sits Mot who, of course, needs no introduction.
Mot: When's our next free day? I'd like to get a job.

Cirius: On your left sits my buddy, Masaya Yamamoto.
To my delight, he's a serial romantic which jibes perfectly with my envisioned role for him.
Masaya: A cinnamon roll?
Cirius: Not that kind of role, silly. That's food for thought, but you've spelled it wrong!

Masay: A synonym roll?
Cirius: No, dingus! I'm talking about a pollinator.
Masaya: Is pollinating a real job or more like a side gig?


Mizuki: You do remember that I'm a dog-lover?
And did you know that the Japanese name for flowering dogwood is Hana mizuki?

That's why I absolutely refuse to let anyone change my name.
If anyone should change their name, it's that younger copydawg Mizuki!


Cirius: Our watcher loves flowering dogwood and even made one into a bonsai during her Tokyo years.
Mizuki: Wow, that's an amazing bonsai! Watchette actually grew that?

Cirius: Nah, it's just a photo from an online Japanese shop.
Watchette could never get hers to flower then it died of neglect and loneliness.
There's a reason why, in Japan, bonsai is a hobby preferred by the elderly!
It's still an fantastic photograph!



Cirius: We're all happy to hear about Mizuki's name but can we get back on topic, please?
Here's a shakedown of our household right now:
   • Mot in green: Loves the outdoors, geek, active (The Curator)
   • Wifey Mizuki: Dog-lover, neat, outgoing (Leader of the Pack)
   • Me: Self-assured, perfectionist snob (Painter Extraordinaire)
   • Masaya in red: Childish, geek, neat (Serial Romantic)
   • Tetsu: Goofball, jealous, neat (Master Vampire)

Tetsu: So when's our first free day again? I'd like to get started on my aspiration.
Cirius: Master Vampire? Sorry, but dat ain't nevah gonna happen!

Mot: Wow, look! Mizuki, Masaya, and Tetsu all have the neat trait!
Cirius: I sure hope they're the likes-to-clean neatniks, not the complains-about-filth neatniks!
And we all get make-overs! Well, I only switched from bermudas to slacks.


Cirius: Ever since I maxed painting at my parents' home, I've avoided viewing art at a museum until today.
At the art museum, I earn 2,000 satisfaction points and become good friends with Masaya.


Mizuki: So I had to lose my short shorts and crazy hair for a more subdued style.
Meanwhile, Cirius gets to keep his stupid hat look.

Cirius: Hey, you did NOT just call my hat stupid! Also, admit it, Mizuki!
With classier threads, a new hairdo, and less makeup, you're even lovelier than before.


Cirius: In an effort to socialize my household, I take everyone with me to Windenberg.

After wasting an hour trying to knock on the front hour, I discover that the front door is in back.
Odd, I've never played this household but have often visited it. Their front door has always been, well, in front.


Cirius: I’m the most selfless heir, don't you think?
Here I am, learning to write on a subpar computer so Masaya can meet people.

Do you think it would be rude of me to take a Thoughtful Shower here?


Leaving behind my new good friend Morgan, I visit The Wishing Well.
The Well arranges a guaranteed promotion after my next shift, which is great news.

I'm not sure what to think, though, because my job performance bar doesn't budge.
Hmmmm, we're at 9 points now. How can I earn my tenth point tonight?


Week 7/Sunday

Cirius: Well, no, we don't earn any points for woohoo in the closet.
In fact, I gained my 10th point by boosting my Writing skill to Level 4.

Would you have preferred to see a shot of my back hunched over a computer?
I didn't think so.
Anyway, my first free day begins at 2:43 a.m. Yippeee!


Mot: The first thing I do is join the Scientist career then try to get breakthroughs.
Masaya: I join the Business career then work on my charisma.

Mizuki: I dash to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test. Yes!!!
I'd been wondering how Cirius would get me to eat strawberries.
 
Good job, Cirius! You earned the first 10 points all by yourself.


Cirius: I'd taken over Mama's garden as heir, so I moved here with many seeds.
Mot: Once it's light out, some of us join the Garden Gnomes Club to plant and water those seeds.

Mizuki: It's a huge garden, Cirius. How will you tend it alone after the free day?
Cirius: Only sparingly, love. Gardening isn't my jam but it might suit a future heir.


Cirius: I'm delighted to report that Masaya has gotten his cinnamon buns in gear.
Those flirty paintings are my contribution!
Masaya: Oh yeah! Cuz this is how I roll.

Morgan: What? You're taking me out for sushi?


Cirius: As afternoon turns to evening, some of us are developing our parenting skills.

Tetsu: I've acquired the video gaming skill for the first time in my life.
It's about time!
And while Cirius and Mot are feeling lucky they now live in such a luxurious abode…



Elsewhere, there's another sim who's getting lucky.

Morgan: Hey, wouldn't you rather come live with me in Windenberg?


Monday

Cirius: An hour before work, I thoughtlessly choose to work from home today. Darn it!
For one of my tasks, I have to talk to a vendor in the Spice Market while they're serving food.
Lady, I just want to introduce myself. No need to close shop for that!
How can I talk with a vendor without introducing myself first? Or could I have just ordered food?


Cirius: By the way, on my way to the Spice Market, I clicked on Ye Olde Salt House by mistake.
That's how I know that teen Mizuki Hayashi #2 lives there with her father now.

Hmmm, I wonder if she'll be a young adult during our next free day?


Cirius: Since I'm not at the office today, I figure I can take my Mizuki to the park.
We'll be getting out less once the little one arrives.

Check out my lovely wife with her second-trimester baby bump!


Cirius: I ask Masaya about Mizuki #2 and he replies he's never met her. We need to fix that!

When I run into Mizuki #2 there, I try talking up Masaya to her. She seems interested!
Oops, I notice my Mizuki is flagging, so we all hurry home.


Cirius: I watch after Mizuki to make sure she goes to our bedroom, then go out back to garden.
For some reason, Mizuki feels the need to come downstairs to talk to me.
Though I try to lure her back upstairs with woohoo, she of course doesn't make it. *sighs


Cirius: While cleaning up after everyone, I find Masaya in the kitchen.
He looks really sleepy, so why is he drinking coffee?
Oh good, he's gone to bed. I'm glad someone has some sense around here!


Cirius: Hey, congrats on your Level 4 promotion, Mot!
Mot: I actually got the promotion last night from The Wishing Well.
Cirius: Awww, too bad!
Mot: Why? A promotion's a good thing, right? Points or no points!

Cirius: Mizuki passed out after the free day, before we've earned any more points.
That means we need 20 points until our second free day.
Mot: Look on the bright side, bro! Mizuki #2 will probably be a young adult by then.
Cirius: But I'd worked so hard to earn our first free day within a day of moving in! *sniffle, sniffle




Cirius Lee's First 10 Points

Skills (3): Cirius/Writing 2-4
Satisfaction points (2): +1,000 x2
Household funds (2): +$30,000 x1
Good friends (2): Masaya Yamamoto, Morgan Fyres
Wishing Well: Promotion wish x1

…and Cirius started off so well, too! *stifles a sob (lol)

Well, I wonder where the next heir might live?  Is it possible you want to delay the next free day until Morgan gives birth?  I know this will shock you, but I'd be highly in favor of having your heir marry the child of the gorgeous redhead  ;=)
Masaya is delightful!  I loved the word play in his banter with Cirius!
Both Mizukis are lovely, but Cirius definitely got the best of the bunch.  I rather enjoyed her crazy hair look, but the more subdued look is also rather amazing.  I wonder if she's one of those Sims who simply makes every hairstyle look good and made the makeover process take way too long?

Wow, that really came out of left field! What a surprise! o.O
Lol, I wish the Gen3 heir could marry Masaya but he's living the wrong house and he'll be too old.
It's so weird that both Mizuki's share the same family name and the neat/dog-lover traits. My game is just being lazy?

A Townie Dynasty with Leeway: Row, Row, Row Your Boat
« Reply #66 on: January 01, 2018, 12:27:40 AM »
2.9: Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Week 7/Tuesday

Cirius: I understand that you love cleaning, my lovely neat Mizuki.
But would you mind terribly waiting until a time when I'm not trying to write?
Mizuki: I just feel so bad about passing out!

Cirius: Not your fault at all, darling.
"Someone" unintentionally clicked "Work from Home" instead of "Go to Work" for me yesterday.
Oh, I wonder who would have done something so foolish ? *coughs


Cirius: Cooking for the household helps me max cooking, so that's two points!
Hmmm, maybe I don't need to worry so much about those 20 points!
We have a nooboo on the way. Won't they earn points like crazy as a toddler?

Mot: Um, I think a single toddler won't be the same as triplets…


Cirius: This evening, my gardening advances enough to allow me to graft.
Surprisingly, I reach Gardening 9 while I'm merely attempting to downsize the garden!

At this rate, I'll max gardening by tomorrow!
Cirius has been leveling skills faster than any sim I've seen in a while.
Must be the combination of his bonus traits and reward traits.



Wednesday

Mizuki: I go into labor in the wee hours and immediately leave for the hospital.
My little one deserves a birth certificate!

The usually calm-and-collected Cirius goes into a full-fledged panic, waving his arms and what not.


I give birth to a precious little girl, whom we name Merri.
Merri Lee, not Merri Hayashi.


Cirius: Merri obliges by falling asleep as soon as she arrives home.
This frees her parents to devote themselves to crucial dynastic duties!


Cirius: When hunger awakes Merri, her Uncle Mot is there in a flash!
He has zero parenting skill but his natural instincts are spot on! Thanks, Mot!


Mizuki: Isn't there a more civilized way of proving that I'm pregnant?


Cirius: I'm going to pretend I never saw Mama blowing Mizuki #2 a kiss.
No wonder Papa's always feeling tense and insecure!


Cirius: Soon, you will be a toddler, Merri Lee! I just know you're going to be a little charmer!
You will wear dresses, you will have hair, you will have toys…but no boys yet. 
I think waiting until you're 20 to start dating would be the wisest.


Cirius: I haven't had many appliances breaking on me this first week.
I've been trying to gradually upgrade everything to minimize future repairs.


Mizuki: Tonight, a stranger appeared at our door and asked to be invited in.
Asking around, I find that nobody in the household knows her. Nobody!

Because we've concluded that she's a vampire, Cirius has started learning Vampire Lore.
Masaya: Hey, does she live in a house because…


Thursday

Cirius: Today's my day off so I invite my parents over. It's always great to spend time with them.
They're as publicly affectionate to each other as always.


Cirius: My poor father-in-law Tetsu, however, is the jealous type.
He spends a lot of time envying my parents as well as Mizuki and me.
He's never shared with me what happened to Mizuki's mother, so I've politely never pried.

Today, I get the great idea to help him slim down for both his health and his love life.
By the way, he didn't get those tiger stripes from the Taste of Diet ice cream.


Cirius: I follow Tetsu around Desert Bloom Park, waiting for the ice cream's effect to kick in.
Erm, does he look any slimmer to you?
Apparently, our watcher can't distinguish an overweight sim from one with a "robust" body shape.
Sorry, Tetsu. We tried!
Foiled again!


Masaya: Morgan phones to say that she gave birth to a girl and named her Theresa. I'm a father!
Nice work, Masaya! It's ideal to have at least a girl-child there, but you'll need to go back.

Masaya: Until Morgan gives birth to a boy?
That's right. Brawn AND brains, huh? And let us know what happens with that other lady.


Friday

Cirius: Merri Lee's birthday notice arrives early in the morning and she becomes a toddler.
She is too lovely for words, my little charmer!


Cirius: She initially rebels against having a bath, but I win her over.
Then I calmly ask her to lose the emotional meltdowns.


Cirius: My sweet little angel, leaving for work today will break my heart!
How can I trust your mother and grandfather to look after you while I'm gone?
They've paid hardly any attention to you since your birth!


Mizuki: While Cirius is upstairs reading to Merri Lee, I'm downstairs.
I'm having breakfast, suffering from morning sickness, and watching a movie with Mot.
Why do I get the feeling that someone's talking trash about me?


Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merri Lee, Merri Lee, Merri Lee, Merri Lee,
Life is but a dream.

Merri Lee is so precious!!!  Loved the little musical number with her name in it.  Sweet and clever!
Ciruis is doing a great job as heir!  I mean, quite unfairly, it's Merri who has captured my attention, but I'm still aware that he's doing well  ;=)
Another lovely (and adorable) update!

Wow, that girl is too cute. Where are that hairstyle and skin tone from? I can't wait to see Masaya's offspring, either. Poor Tetsu, cursed with the bad body. I can't imagine what it's like to play this dynasty and not being able to interfere in anything when the heir isn't home. It must be nerve-wracking. Also, um, how did you get -10 points to begin with? I only see one pass out, which should be -1.

@PeregrineTook
Merri Lee as a toddler is so cute. All I want to do now is snap shots of her every little deed and facial expression when Cirius needs to work on earning points.
I almost named her sibling Gent Lee to fit into the same song, but decided on something else.
Poor Cirius, he's a wonderful sim who is suffering multiple setbacks. Valiantly, I might add.

@dontmindme
I'm pretty sure Merri Lee's hair came with the Cats & Dogs Game Pack. The skintone is custom content, similar to the cc @Ricalynn first used in her Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty story with Artie.
Thank you for reminding me that I want to save Masaya to my library bin.
I loved when playing Liberty in the Scientist career--I couldn't see what the rest of the household were doing but knew that their needs were being met.
When Cirius leaves for work, though, I helplessly watch the sims at home on fast-forward, hah!
As for the reason Cirius needs 20 points for his next free day, according to the rules:
Quote
If your Sim takes the free day at 10 points and then loses a point or two the next day, you'll have to wait till you get to 20 points before taking another free day.

It's a crazy challenge but I'm enjoying it a lot! Once you've finished your RDC (if you haven't already, you must be very close now), I hope you'll try this Ten-Gen Townie Challenge!

Awww, Merri is a little doll!  Heh, it's definitely hard to have the controlled Sim leave for the day with a toddler.  I found that out with Ulrike.  It's why Jewel isn't getting a job until either the first free day (when her mother in law will retire and become a stay at home grandma) or until their little one is a child.

A Townie Dynasty with Leeway: Step Nimbly,. Young Lad!
« Reply #71 on: January 01, 2018, 08:05:41 PM »
2.10: Step Nimbly, Young Lad!

Week 7/Friday

Cirius: It's not that I love my wife less lately. I still love Mizuki, I swear I do.
But I confess that my heart's been stolen by another. Please don't judge me, cherished readers.
How could I help but fall headlong in love with her?


Everything about my little Merri captivates me!
I can't bear to part from her, not even for a second.


If I'm not working, I rush to her side whenever she awakens.
Then, with two hearts beating as one, we explore her new world.


Cirius: Papa rushed home from work as soon as he could, Merri Lee.
Did you have a good time while I was gone?
Merri: No! *pouts

Cirius: You want to tell me why you're standing here at the top of the stairs, sugar?


Merri Lee can barely talk yet, so allow me to explain, Cirius.
As soon as you leave for work today at noon, Mizuki enters the room.
The two of them dance toether. So far, so good.



Although Merri isn't hungry yet, Mizuki sits her in the high chair downstairs.
Poor Merri sits forgotten in that high chair for 3 and 1/2 hours.
(The Baker's Cousin Display Case is upstairs for a reason!
Also, that high chair has since been moved to family inventory.)



Mizuki finally returns to take her out of the chair at 4:30 pm. Then, leaving Merri downstairs, Mizuki goes upstairs to play with the dollhouse.
Upstairs, where Merri's bed, potty, dollhouse, plushie animals, and all her other toys are.
Though Merri has never seen stairs before, she bravely climbs them for the very first time.
And when she reaches the top of the stairs at last, that's the moment you arrive home, Cirius.



Cirius: Just as I'm thinking the day can't get any worse, Mizuki #2 starts a fire in the kitchen (-2 points).
Who asked her to cook in the first place?
Masaya and I earned promotions today, but the fire drops us back to 10 points. *sighs


Before calling it a day, I play the violin for a while to prepare for my next promotion.

My parents show up and throw me tips then start making out right next to me.
I'm just grateful that I'm not an unflirty sim!


Saturday

Cirius: For a charmer, Merri is quite the defiant little toddler.
If she's not playing or learning with me or asleep, she likes to make messes.


Look at my little cherub!
I discipline her firmly for her defiance, but she knows very well that my heart's not in it.


Cirius: Hey, Masaya! Have you heard from your other lady friend?
Masaya: Yes, she also had a daughter. Sofia named her Charity Bjergsen.

Cirius: What about Mizuki #2? You realize she's a young adult now, right?
Masaya: I haven't really gotten to know her, but what's her third trait, bro?


Cirius: Besides neat and dog-lover, she's also hotheaded.
Masay: Hmmmm.....
Cirius: I didn't hear you complaining that Morgan Fyres is hotheaded, but let me give Mizuki #2 a makeover.
She looked a bit jaundiced before, so I've chosen a warmer skintone.


Masaya: Admit it, Watchette! You dig me even more because I'm neat!
I confess that I do have a soft spot for sims who clean autonomously.
But I'd worship you if you would produce some spouse prospects for Merri!



Week 8/Sunday

Mizuki: It's a few hours past midnight when I  give birth to a little boy.
Because he seems so agile and active, we name him Nimb Lee.

Do you think he will grow up to share his father's skintone?


Cirius: Hello, little man! Sorry I couldn't welcome you to the family right away.
But your big sister Merri has finally gone to sleep after maxing her potty skill.

I'm so pleased to have a son, Nimb Lee, and you seem like such a happy fella!


While caring for Nimb Lee, I max parenting.
And now I can perform super efficient baby care for Nimb's remaining two days as a baby. *drips sarcasm


That evening, I bring home a promotion then become good friends with Nimb and Mizuki #2.
My second Free Day is just two points away now!

By the way, Papa aged up to an elder while he was visiting tonight.
Mama will follow in three more days, I guess.
All the more reason to hurry for a Free Day so our children can get to know their paternal grandparents.


Monday

I'd been somewhat rushing to help Merri max Imagination for our last two points.
But then, I decided having an extra point of insurance isn't a bad idea.
So I'm giving Merri a break from power-skilling (lol) and I'm writing a novel instead.

And, yes, I've taken over the previously-unused third-floor room as my personal studio!


I feel a little bad now for having monopolized Merri.
Looking out the window, I see her grandfather asking her for a hug.

Tetsu's elder birthday is tomorrow. He'll want to retire immediately, I bet.

Ding! I've gained another level in writing!


At 5:30 pm, not long after Masaya gets off work, I complete Painter Extraordinaire.
The two additional points boosts us to 21 points!

I simultaneously earn 1,250 satisfaction points for painting my fifth masterpiece.
But the rules only mention carrying over a single point, not two, so we'll be ignoring that third point.

I must let the others now that our Free Day has begun!


But before we go, please accept warm wishes from the Lees for a Happy New Year!
The year 2018 is the Year of the Dog, represented by the red character in the top right.

May 2018 bring you and yours an abundance of joy, laughter, prosperity, and success!

Note: The family name "Lee" can be Korean or Chinese, so Liberty wears a traditional Korean hanbok.
Akira Kibo is a Japanese name, so all the boys are wearing kimono.
Merri Lee has decided to go for the unsmiling, stick figure look.





Cirius Lee's Free Day #2 (21 points)

Designated skill (2): Writing 5-6
Maxed skills (8 ): Cirius/Cooking, Gardening, Parenting; Merri/Potty
Maxed aspiration (2): Cirius/Painter Extraordinaire
Good friends (4): Hugo Villareal, Merri Lee, Mizuki Hayashi #2, Nimb Lee

Satisfaction points (2): +1000 points x2
Passed out (-1): Mizuki #1 (wife) x1

@Shewolf13

I don't mind leaving a toddler/toddlers at home as long as the controlled sim leaves them with full tummies.
Just thought it would be funny to portray Cirius as having separation anxiety. Cirius only works 5-hour work shifts, so it's not that bad!
But the skilling priority for Merri Lee's mother is definitely Parenting, lol.

My poor Cirius has been such a workhorse! He earned all but 5 of the 24 points earned this cycle.
I need to figure out how to get the other adults to pull their weight. The kiddos as well!

In @saltpastillen 's story, she mentioned something about being too panicked to make her controlled sim travel.
So I think that making Cirius travel would have caused his wife not to pass out but, after Cirius left, just take care of her needs on her own instead.
I need to practice that, because the 10-point penalty was rough!

Now we're off to enjoy a free day. Wheeee!
