I partially read through your story last week but got caught up today.
Wow, I didn't even recognize Maja at first in her 1920s apparel!
How great that the Gen5 redhead also rolled the Loves the Outdoors trait. Hazel is simply gorgeous.
I lol'ed that you moved out Maja and Darwin, but kept Darwin's daughter! Speaking of which, how are you enjoying the Parenthood pack?
Hard-boiled Ross is the best! Can't wait to watch Holly, Ivy, and Luz grow.
P.S. Didn't one of the spares have a child with Father Winter? Did the child get the Father's Winter Child trait?
Is that trait worth doing the old chubby dude for?
I really can't believe that I'm on Gen 5 and still have a redheaded heir. We'll see what happens with Gen 6.
I like the Parenthood pack a lot better than I thought I would. I was afraid it would make things harder, trying to get character values and everything, but I think it actually makes some things easier. I used the "influence" and "encourage" commands frequently.
I
did get a Father Winter's baby- it was Clara, daughter of Hess. Hess was one of the adopted kids from Gen 3. Clara eventually married Magnus (brother of Maja). I don't know if the trait is really worth it for a spare. Clara did have an easier time getting aspiration points from whims so she bought potions for other family members, but it wasn't really a game-changer.
I love the black and white story part. So with the times. I hate it that the splash and screenshots aren't working now.
Thanks! I didn't know the screenshots weren't working. Did they fix it? I don't really use the in-game camera. I tend to rely on print screen or the snipping tool. Basically, I am probably doing things the hard way.

You are so creative! You have a real talent for pastiche. I love Ross and I loved everything about this little interlude.
I haven't been commenting much, but this legacy is, as they say, the absolute bee's knees!
Thank you! I wasn't quite sure how to work Ross's career into the main story so he ended up with his own chapters.
