At one point, There were two infants and two toddlers, and that is likely about it happen again since Sandy is pregnant again. I need to get around to installing a triplets and quads mod to speed the suffering period up in the future.

Isabelle has been spending more time with this stray dog, Stinky, than any of her siblings. I am sure she will grow up to be well adjusted. Surely this has nothing to do with the fact she is child number five out of seven.

Stewart Family

Gloria came home with Cora after school, and they got along like a house fire. I can't wait to see what shenanigans get get up to.

Cora Grew up into a teen and wanted to get some new clothes. Her mom agreed to take her shopping, as long as she worked a shift at the pet store. Which she did, and it went quite well. They still need to go out shopping, but I think Cora is going to be helping her mom out at Pineview Pets more often in the future.

Sally finally learns how to cook so that she can avoid Amin, who owns the only restaurant in town.

Valery Household

Felica moves in and starts a knick-knack shop in hopes of banging tourists. I wish her the best of luck.

She also apparently bought a dog of her own free will. I didn't know that was something that could happen.

But I love Benny the elderly corgi, and he gets to stay around, even if he is constantly pissing on the floor.

WendelHousehold:

Jennifer is a romantic, and opened her florist shop in this small town in hopes of finding The One. Very Hallmark of her. So far she has had very little luck in the realms of business or love.

Kumar Family

Elvira and Omar moved their children Tina and Jeana to the new development of Mt. Sequoia ready to become a part of local history. Omar started a job as an oceanographer while Elvira started the town's first pool.

It ain't much, but it's wet.

But we still have her refocus, I am not going to do the 20 simultaneous lovers LTW, so I have her switch to a Fortune/romance sim, and now she wants to be a magician.

So we shut down the store, give her a living room, and get her that job.

It's a rough start, but it's a paycheck, and bills are due.

While she has all the skills she needs for promotion already, I know charisma and creativity are going to be key going forward, so we focus on those skills on her day off.

Oh my, that's a way go to autonomously great Sally.

On another note, with baby Malory being born, we are half way through the alphabet already! If you don't know, I am naming the babies born in Pineview in alphabetical birth order. Multiples get the same first initial. (Which is why Blake is up next) I think I will put a full list of all the sims born in town at the end of this post to celebrate this milestone.

This is how Bennet has been sleeping while he avoids work by constantly going on "maternity leave" and taking his strangely copious days of PTO. He seriously got away with not going to work the whole week, and still has PTO left over. It's good news for him, because there still aren't any baby sitters in the town of Pineview. By the way, Bennet how are you feeling about getting abducted again now that you have spent a few days sharing a room with a baby and a toddler?

"I'm good, actually."

Good. Oh! I see the girls aged up, how are they looking?

Uh, well, they both still have time! I swear it's not just that they are aliens... At least I think so.

Bennet not working also means he's also not getting bonuses, which means the sleeping arrangements aren't great. The kids are going to be a lot too. Jessica is max Neat, Outgoing, and active, serious and grouchy. She is going to be hard to make happy. Malory meanwhile is sloppy, active, playful, nice, and middling between outgoing and shy. It's going to be an interesting relationship for sure.

And I see Bennet is answering "Where do baby's come from?" so I am going to leave him to explain where she came from.

Merph Family (Blake and Chloe)

Ah, fuck. I forgot this was the damn cat breeding family. (This is 2/3 kittens, for a total of 3/20 total animals we will have to breed, and find something (hopefully ethical) to do with.) *Sigh*

I also forgot they had twins. I didn't have enough room to talk about them in the last post, which is how I was refreshing myself on where I was at in the playthrough. (The main reason I post these ngl) These are babies Kevin and Katherine. I also apparently built the five cats their own room, but shoved the babies in their parent's room. gotta lock in

These parents aren't about to be dead beats, at least the cats need to get jobs. Humans, your task is figure out how you can profit off the kittens.

"We should just call over a neighbor and sell it to them."

You know what Chloe, I am starting to warm up to you. Let's start the towns first business rivalry with two pet sellers, why not?

The pets will be going by the same rules as the rest of the babies in town, so here is Abe taking a quick shit before being the first kitten sold off. A townie named Melisa Fancey paid 399 simoleons for him. This is certainly not worth the effort, but I am in for it for the wish based game play because I live for the chaos.

Allan (left) went to another townie, Makoto St. Julien. I want to save at least one cat for one specific sim once I can get Chole to meet her, so for now, Ariel (right) is staying with us.

Good job, guys!

Extra good job to Sapphire for getting a promotion the same day she had two kittens! Say "hello" to Burnt Toast and Bendy Straw!

And say "goodbye" to Burnt Toast! He got sold to some townie called Shelby Barrett. Then say "see you later" to Bendy Straw. She got sold to Bennett, because of course he needs something else to take care of. If you have been yelling at your screen, I am so sorry. This was the moment I realized that in order to fulfil Chloe's lifetime wish I needed to let them grow into adults first. I am going to be less dumb going forward.

Ariel grew up into an adult, and she looks so dumb, she's adorable. She has a job in showbiz, of course. We now have a corrected 1/20 pets raised by Chloe.

I have to give Chloe and Blake some credit for their dedicated cat training, litter box cleaning, and food bowl refilling. This isn't a way of earning cash I would normally go for, but that's one of the best parts of playing a challenge like this. That said, it was time to take that even further and get some dogs to breed!

Lady the great dane, and Sausage the Borzoi.

Despite the odds, my happily married family sims aren't having any wants to have more children, thank goodness.

They just want more puppies. Welcome to the world Centrifuge (female,) Cartoon (male,) Cauliflower (male,) and Catholic Schism of 2026, Catholic Schism in game for character limit purposes, but I want to be clear his name is in reference to recent events.

Ruby and Sapphire also have Duster, Depression, and Denial.

Thank goodness it's time to move on to a different household.

Here that list of babies born in Pineview, a total of 18 from 13 pregnancies:
