Nov. 12th, 2008 04:28 pmI've had a chance to play the Fall rotation among some houses. I was debating on how to do this since a couple of chronological things caused me to second guess myself.
First, Star was the first Gen 5 kid born in the neighborhood. By the order I was playing houses, though, Jacob was going to grow up into teen first. This made me hesitate. In the end, I decided it'd be close enough for horseshoes and sims playing.

Jacob Thayer, first gen 5 teen of the neighborhood. He's a popularity sim with the LTW to reach his golden anniversary. I think having two family sim parents really affected him. I may throw Family as his secondary depending on how he acts. Right now he's all about the friendships and his little brothers.
I also had an opportunity to play Miranda and Dean's house. You know what this means, right?

BABIES!!!
Please give a warm welcome to Ash and Ava.
I did break down and cheesecake Miranda. They had such a hard time getting pregnant the first time, I didn't want to take any chances. I was hoping for a boy and a girl, which I got, but I was also hoping for some red hair, which I didn't. I was also hoping for Dean's light blue eyes, but then I realized that Miranda is probably dkblue/dkblue and there was no chance the kids would get light blue. I have to double check, but I don't think she's carrying the green recessive from Christian.

Ash, right now, looks a lot like his mommy. I have a feeling he's going to look a lot like his Uncle Elijah when he grows up, unless some of Dean's features sneak in there when he gets older. Ava, on the other hand, looks A LOT like her daddy. Right now she looks a little ... odd. I have a feeling she's going to grow into her features pretty well. She'll probably look like her aunt Deanna or Drusilla, which is not a bad thing.
Miranda and Dean are trying for another. CONSTANTLY. But they're not doing any better the second time than they were the first time. During the Fall rotation, they probably tried about six times. Only once did they roll low enough to actually try for baby and when the actual attempt came in, they rolled 91. GAAAAAH! This is almost worse than them actually throwing me another lullaby right away.
Anyway, I just had to share these two and Jacob. :)

Date: 2008-11-13 04:11 am (UTC)It really is interesting that Miranda and Dean are having such a hard time getting pregnant. Especially when it seems like Elijah and Shelby just need to look at each other right to get a lullaby.

Date: 2008-11-13 04:25 am (UTC)It's because Dean likes the trying so much. I guarantee it.
Seriously, though, could it be because they started having them later in life than Shelby and Elijah? Don't the odds of conception go down as you get further into the adult lifespan? Or did you age Miranda back so she'd be the right age younger than Elijah when she got back from the BC?

Date: 2008-11-13 07:18 am (UTC)When I got her and Dean back in the hood, I took a look at their days left and realized I'd screwed up. So, both of them got some time tacked onto their days so they're more in line of where they should be compared to the rest of the neighborhood.
So, a long story short, age shouldn't be a problem. :)
