Don't expect an actual story here. It will be more of a place to post my family's stats and a few screenshots. This will be a simplified dynasty try. Meaning, I will be using only portraits in the family museum, and I will keep spares and helpers to the minimum. My house and décor will be simple. I'm hoping all this will help with load and save times. This will be my first official ID attempt. Celebrities will be shut off and only witches enabled. We are going old school and settling in Sunset Valley. Fishing, Charisma, Athletics, Logic, and all instruments will be open skills.

That said here is my founder, March Rain. His traits are Green Thumb, Angler, Loves the Outdoors, Friendly, and Hopeless Romantic, and obviously, he is a Witch. His LTW is The Perfect Garden. His role in the dynasty will be gardening and providing those first deathfish.

On his first day, March went to introduce himself to Agnes Crumplebottom. I'm probably the only person in Simnation who has never used Agnes in a dynasty. Their meeting went well and they were married on day two. A nice little house was built. On day three, they received a Fountain of Youth from Cornelia Goth as a wedding present. Suddenly, they were worth more than 500k. So much for early money struggles. Here's Agnes looking quite lovely after her make-over. Agnes will be painting, cooking, and writing a few books.

We have our first heir, April Rain, an Artistic Virtuoso. Eventually, she will be the dynasty's painter. She is definitely Agnes's daughter.

And Daddy teaching her to talk.
March: I grow fruits and vegetables. Although broccoli is still a mystery to me.

And as Agnes is a somewhat older woman, a second child was needed. Winter Rain will be painting and cooking.

So far, compared to other dynasties, this seems to move at a more leisurely pace.

Great start KRae. The Fountain of Youth has to be the best wedding present ever. Period. I absolutely have my fingers crossed for an heir/spare named November Rain

The children grew up fast. April added the trait Family Oriented. Here she is waiting to talk to her mother who is painting her child portrait...don't interrupt her.

And in the blink of an eye, she's off to prom. She is now also a Born Saleswoman. She will be in charge of consigning.

Winter is exactly a week younger. As a spare, he is the only one allowed a multitab. He never needs to be made to do his homework.

He also is an obsessive painter. We have 4 easels, and many times he has paintings going on all four of them.

By the time he became a teen, he had maxed photography (multitab only) and was at level 7 in painting.

Malley · « **Reply #4 on:** September 04, 2014, 07:51:14 PM »

Wow, Winter seems to be doing great! He's going to be a tremendous spare for sure

That's right Agnes, keep painting. Focus. No talking to your daughter or doing Mom things when doing museum pieces

Magpie2012 · « **Reply #5 on:** September 05, 2014, 08:55:21 AM »

I absolutely adore the name Winter! And it works well as either sex!

A very short update here.
April became a young adult adding the Brave trait. We seem to be getting weekly burglars. She will continue developing her guitar and painting skills hoping to become a Master of the Arts. She looks sort of like I did as a young adult.

Two days after April's birthday, March became an elder and immediately got his portrait painted. The next morning he took a trip to the library to make one last best friend. He now qualifies to carry a death flower and eat ambrosia.

Soon after completing his requirements, March took a long awaited trip to France. He went shopping and harvested grapes then went fishing and nectar tasting while waiting for a certain pomegranate tree to become harvestable. Telling it jokes didn't seem to speed up the process.

Soon Winter became a young adult. His final traits are Artistic, Loves the Outdoors, Friendly, Natural Cook, and Heavy Sleeper.

Way too soon, at age 93, Agnes passed on. She will be missed.

I guess everyone reacts to grief differently.

A few days later, April married her friend from school, Mike Donohue. He and his sister, Diane, were the only non-NPCs in their class. There was a definite attraction between the two of them, and when he visited he got along well with the whole family. Although no one is Observant and Athletic was the only trait discovered, he seemed like a good addition to the family. As it turns out, his traits are Athletic, Loves the Outdoors, Angler, Green Thumb, and Bookworm. Well no wonder everyone one loves him! Oh, and these are the clothes he came with.

Right before my last save, chimes were heard.

Malley · « **Reply #9 on:** September 06, 2014, 02:43:36 PM »

I think that is the first time I've ever seen a sim deal with death by telling Grim a ghost story. Awesome.

KRae · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2014, 08:10:40 PM »

Here's another picture of Mike. I've just left him in his original clothes. These are his athletic duds. The red/pink high tops are a particularly nice touch.

That's okay because he and April produced our next heir, November Rain, Friendly and Easily Impressed. Definitely Daddy's girl.

She will be the dynasty chef so her toddlerhood will be one of mostly fun and play.

I guess I've gotten used to playing dynasties where you can age up toddlers as soon as they've met certain requirements because it seems like toddlerhood drags on forever. As soon as November learned her toddler skills, April and Mike took a quick trip to China. It was the day after April's adult birthday and all her requirements have been met except her elder portrait and 4 more best friends. Most everyone she knows is an elder. They brought back cherries and martial arts equipment. This will be an open skill and something to keep the elders occupied.

Lisa46 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2014, 08:13:52 PM »

I totally understand your feelings about the age ups. With the 4x4 their years are shortened and with the LS dynasty they just have a few requirements. I don't know about the decadynasty but with the immortal dynasty I never can stand the toddler years. So boring!

KRae · « **Reply #14 on:** September 10, 2014, 12:06:09 PM »

Toddlerhood passed, finally, and November became a child who loved spending time at the family owned park across the street.

Here she is fishing with the guys. She just caught her biggest minnow ever. Can you see it?

Childhood passed quickly and November became a lovely teen. She went home with a friend, Vivek Willey, after school, and after she discovered that he too is family oriented, invited him to prom. He showed up for their prom date with his toddler sibling in tow. Fortunately, the babe reset, and off they went in the limo. November was voted prom queen and got herself a boyfriend.

Homework is hard when no one is around to help. Plates left from breakfast don't help.

April, meanwhile, became an elder and seems pretty pleased with herself. She should be. All her requirements were met except the elder portrait. So off to the dresser and then to pose.

Whoa, November is a total stunner!

KRae · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2014, 06:38:16 PM »

November became a young adult and added Neat to her traits as she was always cleaning up after everyone anyway. She decided a short haircut was in order for her culinary career. It goes well with her little pixie face.

At graduation November, valedictorian of course, was voted most likely to have a large family. Well, I guess it's a matter of interpretation.

The family graveyard is on the far side of the park across the street. Agnes has never come for a visit, but is often seen skinny dipping in the hot tub.

After reaching level 5 in her career, November married long-time boyfriend, Vivek. Although they don't have the attracted moodlet around each other, they are often spontaneously romantic. Vivek does have the attracted moodlet with his mother-in-law and Uncle Winter. Hmm.

November completed her 6th op and reached level 8 in her career two days before her adult birthday and decided to take a break and start a family. Chimes were heard. A few hours later the family had a sudden visitor. Agnes will have company. Rest in peace, Mike Rain age 94. You were a great garden helper, a proliferative writer, and a willing sparring partner who always won.

Malley · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2014, 07:18:29 PM »

RIP Mike, you will be missed. And Agnes is a skinny dipping ghost? That's a new one

KRae · « **Reply #19 on:** September 14, 2014, 04:11:10 PM »

With 23 hrs left on the mourning moodlet this happened.

Winter Rain, age 90, went with Grim. Not great timing with a pregnant woman in the house. At least November's mourning moodlets didn't stack. Poor April had both the heart broken and mourning moodlets. Both went off to the spa for the most expensive package.

Our 4th generation soon made his appearance. October Rain, a Friendly Heavy Sleeper, has his father's coloring, but I think his features may be more like his mother's. Time will tell.

Toddler cuteness. Playing with Daddy. With 3 Family Oriented adults in the house, he is rarely alone.

November: We have a computer upstairs somewhere I think.

He is fed on a regular basis. Honest.

Ghost cuteness. Winter tries out the trampoline.

Then joins his mother in the hot tub. At least he's wearing his trunks.

And Mike staying above it all.

KRae · « **Reply #22 on:** September 14, 2014, 08:17:42 PM »

Every time I hear the ghost music, I go check to see what they're up to. Sometimes they're just complaining about the presence of ghosts, but other times they're really fun to watch. They make much better use of the park than they did when alive.

KRae · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2014, 10:46:09 AM »

Our little prince became a child, and, just like his mother, loves playing pretend. Like his father, he has developed a good sense of humor.

As a teen, October began his life's work, Alchemy. Love that Chinese incense.

Vivek and October are always the first up in the morning and share a breakfast of left-overs. Vivek is now an elder, the skinniest elder I've ever seen. Long sleeves and horizontal stripes don't seem to help much. October's RI is a rather pudgy teen who is an artistic, virtuoso genius. Pudgy is probably just what this dynasty of noodle thin people needs.

November is now an elder. Where did that long, white hair come from? Eat your cake and get thee to the dresser and mirror.

That's better. Now pose for your portrait and your requirements will be completed.

Yes, I am dressing them in their favorite colors, and in the museum their chair will also be that color. The night wear for each immortal elder is a robe in their favorite color as well. It helps cover up some of their skinniness.

I did the dress code and robe thing as well (and different hair colors too) everything to make it easier for me to separate them. It worked like a charm.

Like I've always said "Great minds run along the same gutters". Oh, that's not quite right.

KRae · « **Reply #29 on:** September 20, 2014, 01:07:01 PM »

October became a young adult adding the Family Oriented trait. He looks a lot like his father whose favorite color is also pink.

At age 93 Vivek shook Grim's hand and joined the happy ghosts across the street. Thank you, Vivek, for your wonderful son and all the jokes. Oh, and for not being an incredible flirt.

When he was a teen, October was already a talented alchemist. His girlfriend, Janet, was several days older. When
she became a YA, she went from pudgy to huge. October decided to do an experiment (well, I did) and threw a Lean and Mean at Janet who became scary thin. Now when I've done this before, the weight is usually regained in about a week. When it was time for them to marry maybe two weeks later, Janet was still a stick figure. Oops. Fortunately after entering the household she started rounding out a little. Here she is about 5 hours from giving birth.

Our fifth heir, July Rain, a Brave Genius with her mother's beautiful hair.

So Janet's weight is now, right after childbirth, about where it was when she was a teen.

And here she is two days later playing with July. I suspect she'll get bigger yet. I don't mind. She's very lovely and has the traits Genius, Virtuoso, Lucky, Green Thumb and something I forget - but it was another good trait.

KRae · « **Reply #31 on:** September 22, 2014, 08:55:32 PM »

Life goes on. July became a child adding the Daredevil trait.

This little boy, Ernest Castle, has come home from school with July three days in a row. They have become best friends.

The afterlife goes on as well. Winter here is enjoying the sprinkler. No surprise. The only surprise I guess is that it took him so long to discover it.

After earning his white belt, October had an immediate wish to spar with March. It didn't go too well for him. 2 - 0.

Upon losing, he immediately challenged his mother to a pillow fight. This went better.

July became a lovely teen gaining Loves the Outdoors. She's at level 8 in logic, but it won't be her supermax.

Remember the little boy playing with the doll house? July asked him to prom. Nothing negative happened to her all night. I didn't know that was even possible.

Malley · « **Reply #32 on:** September 22, 2014, 09:35:15 PM »

July is stunning! I love her hair and eyes; they go so well with her skin tone. She is going to be such a beauty when she grows up

KRae · « **Reply #33 on:** September 25, 2014, 12:35:46 AM »

October and Janet are a very affectionate couple, always wishing for each other. I grow very attached to spouses and spares possibly because I know their time will end.

Janet aged up to elder all by herself on the way home from work. She's at that stage in the music career when the shift lasts until 10pm. She seems very pleased even so.

October and July shared their next birthday. July added Handy to her traits.

She graduated the next day becoming the class valedictorian and being selected Most Likely to Electrocute Herself. That does not bode well for her Handiness Supermax and Firefighter career.

While July headed off to start her new job, everyone else went home where April completed October's elder portrait and he ate his first ambrosia.

July married Jovan O'Donnell who she met at the library when she was a child and he a teen. The day she aged up to teen, he aged up to young adult, but they've been best friends the whole time.

July completed her firefighter career very quickly. I've got no pictures of her in action. She took care of one rabbithole emergency and two buggy large fires. That was it. Her career advanced basically on learning handiness and athletics. She did receive the key to the city.

Shortly after returning home, she realized she was pregnant.

KRae · « **Reply #37 on:** September 26, 2014, 05:49:11 PM »

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I really do appreciate each and every one.

July went into labor two days later, and the next heir, December Rain (a girl), was born with the traits Virtuoso and Heavy Sleeper. I love my heavy sleepers. She is worth the pain and scary collarbone protrusion.

The evening before December's first birthday, Janet passed away. Thank you, Janet , for being a wonderful wife, friend, and mother. And for being such a good sport about losing in chess to your daughter - every single game.

This is what she missed, her sweet grandchild as a toddler. December is very much like her father. Favorite color green, green eyes, brown hair with greenish highlights (why???).

Learning to talk. Jovan: You will be happier when you come to accept that everyone in this house fishes. You will be sent endlessly across the street as an elder to fish and thus defeat the wicked stir-crazy moodlet.
Yes, that's how Jovan talks.

Living in a house with six grownups, three who are family oriented, December is rarely left alone. Here November decides to teach her to walk only to be interrupted by October who is in need of some serial tossing the nooboo in the air. Then he is interrupted by April who must tickle December right Now! Much foot tapping

.

This ordinary looking scene is actually amazing. July has discovered the basement all on her own. In all my dynasties, no one goes to the basement except when I make them pose for a picture.

It's turning into a regular family hangout. Maybe I'll reward them with a pool table.

March and October have a little competition going. They are always wishing to spar with each other. Jovan and July were given a golf range for a wedding present. March, October, and July (the only ones with any athletic skill) use it quite often, but as soon as March sets a new record, October wishes to set one. And then March does and on and on and on.

You can see it in the background here. Apparently five windows have been broken, three cars struck, and the ball has hit the water seven times.

December had her child birthday adding Loves the Outdoors.

You know what that means. Can't say she wasn't warned.

Jovan is now an elder, fishing in his jammies every chance he gets.

An immortal lifetime spent reading and playing video games. Sounds about right.

Childhood goes so much faster than toddlerhood. December became a Disciplined teen.

Learning to drive in Mom's expensive car went pretty well. Much better than prom with one denied dance, one three eyed llama, and four fights. Being named prom queen hardly balanced all that out. Now that's what I expect from prom.

Rocking out with G-G Grandma April.

December begins learning nectar making, soon to be her career and life's passion.

Now that she is no longer in school, December spends a good deal of time in the sub-basement nectary which has attracted many family members to the subterranean regions of the house.

Some have even tried the pool table - badly.

December harvesting homegrown French varietal grapes in an attempt to become Vizard of Vine. I thought I was going to have to ask permission to count it, but after 460 bunches it actually registered!

December and her appropriately named boyfriend, Jebidiah John. Most of their courtship took place here. Don't know why, but everytime she visited he needed the bathroom.

They met when his father called to see if the family wanted his child to come over and play. As it turned out, the child was actually a teen (18 days older), but they had a great time playing tag and video games. They married in the yard. Much better than the potty.

It's good to have a somewhat older spouse in the last part of a dynasty as Jovan proved by living to age 105. Goodbye, Jovan, we'll miss your endless fishing and discussions about cameras.

October Rain, potty trainer extraordinaire. Never takes more than twice.

While January is a happy child, she spends far to much time with her Imaginary Friend who will never be able to join the household. Time to gift it to October who will in turn give it to one of his unsuspecting instant friends.

Well, I guess that's better.

Definitely better. Mother, daughter, and granddaughter enjoying the sprinkler together.

January became a lovely teen and is best friends with the entire family. She added the Savvy Sculptor trait.

The next day it was December's turn. Aging to elder in your swim suit can be depressing.

I don't know if Jebidiah is begging for just 2 more days of life to see his daughter's next birthday, or if he just wanted to finish his mushroom omelet. Grim did not listen. Farewell Jebidiah , age 97.

Two days later, January had her young adult birthday.

Ice sculpture number 15. Not a method I would recommend, but what do I know.

January has a boyfriend named Virgil Guevara. She spent the night at his house and didn't feel so good the next day.

When she realized she was pregnant, January invited Virgil over to break the news. I'm not sure if he's pleased or terrified.

A son, August Rain, was born. The time passed quickly and it was soon his first birthday. They had a small family party.

I think he has his father's coloring.

And the obsession begins.

August is so cute!! I definitely question January's sculpting methods...

That looks so painful. RIP Jeb and welcome to baby August

The last dynasty toddler becomes a child.

August Rain - Heavy Sleeper, Perceptive, Bookworm

August's birthday present is his very own computer, upgraded to unbreakable by July. He's writing his first book, a non-fiction titled "Elders!".

He doesn't spend all his time reading and writing. Here he is listening to a random ghost story after attending a free game at the stadium.

This is what happens when firecracker shrimp is your favorite food. Sometimes he gets a positive moodlet, sometimes it's negative.

Every night there is ghost activity across the street. This is Agnes, the most active ghost, with Jovan (I think).

And Jebidiah catching his first after-death fish. He's just as exciting in death as in life.

After death fishing?

The last heir...so close and yet so far!

I guess even death can't stop Jeb enjoy his fishing

August entered his teen years adding Good Sense of Humor to his traits.

Gregory McCracken came home with him on his second day of high school. August had the attracted moodlet all the way home on the bus. He had already met a few students, both boys and girls, at school, but Gregory seemed to be the one for him. August asked Gregory to prom, and Gregory agreed as long as he wasn't abducted by space aliens. Unfortunately, Gregory had his birthday the next day. They still went to prom and became boyfriends, but it didn't register because of the age difference. August threw himself into his reading and writing.

As a young adult, August gained the Genius trait and grew a beard. It helps disguise his baby face so he can be taken seriously as an Investigator and author. He and Gregory are now an item. It's so nice that August doesn't have any reproductive responsibilities, so he doesn't have to be forced into what would be an unnatural relationship for him (he only has same sex attraction).

His first Investigation.

A few days later, he has reached level 5.

January has become an elder. All her requirements, except the elder portrait, were completed before her birthday.

A quick make-over, and the portrait is completed.

On a date with Virgil. Watching the stars is very romantic even when you choose to sit facing the washrooms, I guess.

August is so handsome! I'm glad he found Gregory. And congrats on your seventh immortal

The beard looks good on August and I'm happy he's found love

Yes, the perfect disguise for a stakeout at the beach! This was his last job before reaching level 10. There were so many glitches like jobs simply dropping and stakeouts that couldn't be completed, that August quit his investigator job and became a writer.

The family celebrated at the Grind with bad dancing.

And karaoke with Gregory.

A few days later, August celebrated his birthday.

It's ambrosia day. On the next one, 8 plates will be eaten.

November with the family's red dragon, Sparky. Four out of eight Rains prefer the color red.

August got bored with writing (well, I did) so he decided to join the Ghost Hunter career. His first capture, a wrathful ancient!

It's really important that chunks of iron not be possessed by poltergeists.

Becoming best friends with and then convincing this ghost to leave this plane of existence.

August has less than a week until his elder birthday. I may keep what's left of my sanity until then.

Malley · « **Reply #63 on:** October 15, 2014, 10:46:49 PM »

I have one of my heirs in the Rigel family doing the investigator profession; I totally understand how frustrating it can be. Stakeouts simply will not work sometimes and that can really set you back. Very annoying

Brooke. · « **Reply #64 on:** October 16, 2014, 09:30:38 AM »

I would have loved the Investigator profession if it wasn't so buggy, but Ghost Hunting is in my top ten careers list - it's so much fun

You're so close to the end now, can't wait for August to reach immortality!

KRae · « **Reply #65 on:** October 16, 2014, 07:13:33 PM »

He reached level 10 in both the Investigator and Ghost Hunter careers. It was the day before his elder birthday when I had to quit playing this morning and go into work for a few hours. He's ready for immortality save his elder portrait so if I can I'll finish up in the morning.

KRae · « **Reply #66 on:** October 17, 2014, 03:20:31 PM »

Finally, August became an elder. It was nice of the family to line up for the picture all in their favorite color robes. Usually one or two would be in their swim wear by 8am.

Thanks everyone! I'm just going to be fully exploring the EPs I have. I get so involved in completing dynasties that there's plenty of things I haven't done with TS3 yet. I'm trying to hold off on buying TS4 for a while hoping bugs will be fixed, but word of the new Immortal Dynasty is making it difficult.

I enjoyed reading this. I wish I could have learned more about each family member, but I see it's your style to focus on playing more than story-telling. So, I appreciate your efforts to share this at all. It inspires me to want to try this challenge sometime in the future.
