cannot remember if ive posted character sheets of the others, but here are the ones of the new cast
So! My save file got corrupted! I am so... so happy can't you tell? Anyways, this means I have to start over... I got up to 1317, so for the sake of my own sanity, we are starting at 1318, right after the great famine. So, let's meet the new "cast"
I gave them the biggest lot in chestnut ridge and brother... it took too long to build everything, i don't even know if it was worth it or now gah. (i didn't take pics of the actual house cause... it's meant to look like shit. and we don't need to see that)
So, yeah! That's the beautiful lot. that took way too long. Anyways! Story wise! Minna is already pregnant! (for my own sanity, shut uppp)
Honestly, they've just been doing a lot of hard labour. Nothing too fancy, and I've named their animals after Greek Gods which is always fun! (was totally listening to Epic while building and it kept me somewhat sane)
family portrait~ fun fact, I forgot to put down a chair and then got lazy and didn't put one, so Rolf is in fact doing a wall sit in the air, rip his thighs.
Content Warning; Death
(ignore the random shader change, i found one that i liked a lot better and even made my game run a lot smoother)
Lowri and Llywelyn Frost are born. Luckily, both are born healthy... unfortunately, Lilith died from the birth. It was sudden, and Lilith was alone when it happened, death seemed to have no remorse for her.
For a few nights, Philip didn't want to sleep alone at all, so he had been sleeping with Ruben and Ben instead of up in the loft. Eventually, he got brave enough to go sleep on his own, but Ruben would be lying if he said he didn't find it just as comforting to have his two sons close by.
With having to pick up on chores around the house quickly, Philip ended up catching an illness from the hay after dealing with the cow. After some nurturing and lots of warm honey milk, one of Lilith's recipe's, Philip quickly overcame his illness much to Ruben's relief. Philip had ended up even dreaming of his mother the first night where she had come to comfort him of his fears.
Lowri and Llywelyn were growing bigger, and Ben has been watching their every move, asking why they did certain things and why they wouldn't answer him when they talked to him. ...He didn't cry when he found out they couldn't talk yet... just trust me bro.
Ruben met with the neighbors to hopefully set up a future arranged marriage between their daughter and Philip. ...Philip got a little distracted instead. He got extremely attracted to both Ithica's... who are married to each other already...
Philip has started to pick up archery when he isn't doing his chores! He isn't the best... Ruben doesn't know the first thing about archery, so he just lets Philip go at it and hope he doesn't get an arrow to the head while gardening.
The year had started wonderful for Lilith in particular, their first baby chick had hatched! They had been struggling to properly incubate the last three eggs but finally had a baby rooster born overnight. Luckily in time too, because the older roost (Kentucky (I DIDNT CHOOSE THE NAME IT WAS SIMS)) is close to growing old.
When Lilith's water had broken, it couldn't have been a worser timing. At first, Ruben was out hunting, but luckily made it home a couple hours into her labor. The twins were both screaming and crying because of the chaos through the entire thing, not really understanding what was going on other than hearing their mother in pain.
Lilith ended up in labor for fifteen hours, far longer than when she had given birth to the twins. But alas, baby Stuart was born, luckily very healthy despite Lilith being a tad on the sicker side during the pregnancy.
A couple months passed, and the kids were quickly growing older. Lately, Izabella has been taking a liking to sounds and is often singing her little heart out while doing just about anything. Philip is a bit of a sensitive one, seeming to cry at every inconvenience. He especially gets upset when Ruben leaves to hunt or fish without him. Little Stuart is a little harder to pinpoint just yet, but he certainly is a handful with hating when being picked up and even refuses to go to sleep half of the time.
(kudos to llazyneiph's drama rolls) While Ruben was out hunting, he ended up finding a dog and even though he had not intended on bringing him home, the dog had ended up following him regardless, and Ruben couldn't seem to rid of it. Of course, the second the twins saw the dog--that they quickly named it Wolfie--they became overly attached so Ruben finally decided to keep the old dog.
Babies Philip and Izabella were born early into the year, completely healthy! Luckily, there were no complications for either the babies or Lilith.
Both Lilith and Ruben are ecstatic to welcome they're children but find it almost bittersweet with how fast they are growing up. The twins quickly grown accustomed to the chickens, even mimicking them when they would crow or cluck, to which would always confuse the chickens and usually scare them off...
It wasn't too long after, maybe a third into the year, when Lilith found out she was pregnant again. Although ready to welcome the new child with open arms just as she did with the twins, she almost feels conflicted about moving a tad too fast. Money was short, and their house was small.
And,,, Ruben had made an almost fatal mistake when trying to repair the fridge. His candle he was using for light ended up getting bumped too close to the wood and caught the whole thing on fire. Luckily, Ruben was able to put it out fairly quickly, though Lilith is still worried about another fire breaking out, moving every candle at least two feet away from the walls.
Although Lilith was none the wiser, (like many other villagers in town,) she met the infamous witch who lives down the street. She had whispered nonsense and somehow repaired the fridge almost instantly right in front of Lilith's eyes. Maybe she was just tired from all the farm work, the twins, and working through another pregnancy, so Lilith simply brushes it off. (as you can tell, i had too much fun giving the townies intense lore. TW: implied death (like the priest having three daughters before having a son, which he was then relieved only to find his son is fatally sick with only so many years to live.))
Updates for this will probably be even slower compared to UDC updates considering how differently I am going to be updating! This is more story telling updates, hence the new formatting!
Meet the cast !!
So... I got surprised with a pregnancy AND double of it...
They live in a one bedroom trailer... HOW ARE THEY GONNA AFFORD THIS? ONE IS IN COLLEGE, AND THE OTHER IS A GARDENER?
though it was a really sweet journey. Neither were ready, but eventually got really excited about the whole thing.
So we have a little set up of Charity starting to sell things from her garden and watch the babies while Levi goes to university, and Levi watching the babies while Charity works.
Anyhow, meet babies Thalia and Nicolas!! <3 (I was really rooting for Levi's suggestion of Thalia and Toren, but Charity was not having it LOL (part of lumpinou's RPO mod))
Meet the Royal Family!
