I am not the greatest at CAS, but I tried to make Cyprus a bit closer to an Aboriginal Australian and based the house off the farmhouse style found in rural Aus. Through his yard sale, where Cyprus sold his homemade sculptures and candles, a beautiful lady in orange caught his attention. She eventually moved in and they had a son, Linden Handyman, together.

Like the previous two sims, he was able to use his leftover money to contribute a kitchen and bathroom to the community centre, as well as donate his selling table.

This character was significantly easier than Ziggy Yarn... thank god. She joined the freelance career as a photographer (because just taking a bajillion photos was not particularly fun). In many of her freelance jobs, Annie worked with the style influencer, Lien Sadya and they became close friends. Lien and Annie eventually fell in love and right at the end of the challenge, Lien moved in with Annie to share her tiny industrial home.

As a parting gift to the community, Annie spent the remainder of her money on beginning the build of the community centre.

As soon as I saw Deligracy's new YouTube video, I knew I had to give it a go!

The first character I rolled was Ziggy Yarn! His skill is knitting and cross stitching, his favourite colour is yellow and his build style is mid century.

After a whooooollleee weekend of playing, here is his (admittedly, not very tiny) house. I don't consider myself a builder by any means, so I was pretty happy with how it ended up!

The curse of the heir mums dying young has finally, irrevocably changed this challenge. Felicity Brooker, the wife of Leif Brooker, did not pass her roll into Young Adulthood in 1423, and left behind a single, surviving child - a girl, named Olive. Olive, so far, has survived against all odds and can carry on the bloodline of the Brookers. However, her husband will become the new heir and will bring with him, a new name.

Comment below if you have any suggestions for the new family name!

Leif's wife, Felicity, died before she was able to produce a male heir. Honestly, this line is cursed with the mums dying young and the heirs needing to remarry. I decided to be brutal, I'm not allowing any remarriages. Their sole daughter, Olive, is going to be the future of the line and bring a new name to the line (if she lives that long).

The end of the decade sees the demise of one of the two starting household lineages - The Cliffords. With the drowning of the child heir, Wymand Clifford, so too dies the last possibility of passing on the family name. Luckily, our main household, the Brookers, were able to produce a single, male heir - Leif - to continue the Brooker legacy. Let's hope our luck continues into the 1420s and that Leif and his bride-to-be are able to see a male heir to adulthood.

Gameplay

Following the death of Celestina Brooker, Lucy Brooker, the widow of Theobald Brooker, decided to move into the main Brooker household. Following her son's decisions to take a vow of celibacy and join the church, she decided to move into the main Brooker farm to help raise the two orphaned children, Leif and Marigold.

The dawn of a new century brought with it the winds of change. Alfred and his new bride, Anna, forsook the silk trade to move to Henford-on-Bagley to pursue nectar making. The move did not bring the family luck and on her 20th birthday, Anna lost the battle to typhoid and passed. Alone, and on an abandoned farm with almost no funds, Alfred had to work hard to rebuild his home and his family. Eventually, he met the humble Celestina, who was able to give him two heirs before, in 1409, he too was taken from this life. Going into the 1410s, our two main households - the Brookers and the Cliffords- must fight to keep their legacy alive, as there are very few eligble heirs remaining to pass on the family name. Meanwhile, the new families of Shaw and Bigod are blessed with a number of children to carry on the family name. Come 1420, will we still be able to call this the Brooker legacy?

The decade began with Terric, our main heir, passing the torch to his son Alfred in 1391 as he succumbed to disease. Luckily, the silk business had already been established and the decade saw prosperity for many of our main households. As the families grew, they began to carve out their own spaces in the world of Windenburg. However, a new century has now dawns and the new heirs wonder if this is really the right place for them?

Not going to lie... I love this couple so much. They are very poor and currently live in a single bedroom barn with their two children.

A decade of poor luck and the revolt of the peasants has meant the 1380s might be our most brutal decade yet. In 1381, we lost the Wright and Smith household, as they were executed due to the Peasants Revolt. However, the main Brooker household has also seen a decade of prosperity, as they move into their new Merchant home in the Market Square and, eventually, find success in silk trading.

See the new Brooker home here!

As promised, our Brooker family has moved up in the world. Our current heir, Terric, and his wife, Brigit have moved into the Merchant class and now live in the Market Square in Windenburg. The family has sold Norman's retail lot and used that money to re-open on the current lot (mostly so I can still play with all members of the family and avoid 400 loading screens). The land has been subdivided to include a separate selling-space, where the family produces and sells bolts of Silk Fabric. The house also includes a chicken coop, barn and garden. (Mostly, as this lot is still off-the-grid and simple living and it gives my Sims something to do, more-so than any historical accuracy).
