I did say it was EPIC! My goodness the Faulkner2 family kept me on my toes trying to keep up with the drama they spun up this round - Days of Sim Lives meet the Roman times. Here I go as best I can remember...
The clothing - it hasn't upgraded much, the boys are in the same as Neanderthal Era just because I wanted something very casual and dull coloured, as I imagine only the wealthy can afford rich exotic fabrics, or pastel shades, whereas poorer/lower class families would have to make do with rougher wear, more natural leathers and fibres such as neutral tones, so the shirts and shorts are pretty much it. The girls are the same until teenage years where I decided on these cute little dolly dress numbers, I like them, but they also resemble a simple sort of sack like dress, and are thankfully not in bright colours - I think they're from the H&M pack.
The housing - also not much has changed; I've put them on very small blocks to make it cramped and interesting for large families, and have given them 2 double beds and then the rug stacks (I think that's a parsimonious creation) and one sofa.
The rules - I'm changing it up a bit, once furnished and settled the family start off with $100, oh yeah a measly $100, and without a job that doesn't go far! I'm also starting them out with a six block garden patch, one fruit tree, and one little pond. I don't want them to earn money to quickly so only the eldest male NOT an elder is allowed a job. Thorbin here is in the Crim career, I'm not sure yet exactly what few careers I will allow them to have, but it'll only be a few and they won't be able to rise in the ranks very high, just to make it more difficult. I'm thinking, to make a goal other than babymaking and surviving the Colosseum slaughterhouse (isn't that enough?!) I'll have them work towards a certain amount, say $50,000 or something, and then be able to upgrade from Slave to Plebeian; I'm still pondering that though, I'll have to see how the round plays out.
I always planned to have Thorbin and Karin be married, but because of what happened with Greta I thought it might take a while, also at the start of this round Karin was only 13 and I wasn't "planning" on having her come over at all this round! (honest!) but literally within seconds of starting Thorbin made a booty call to HER, to my surprise NOT to Greta, and >_> well as you see, I just go with the flow - it's generally more fun that way. Because of this though that made a full house, and despite my 12 person limit (though the game has yet to let me go higher than 10) although Karin got pregnant I had to do something with Gregor coz he was almost adult, so the day of his birthday I sent him off to his own lot with Alois, which should be interesting since Alois looks like he's going to be a bit of a hound dog and Gregor doesn't much take to girls.
As for Kora, also a surprise, she's a Romance sim with a LTW of 20 simultaneous lovers, which I thought would be fun to play with, though she did most of the work herself this round. I started with Oskar, thinking they could at least have one kid together to continue the line and then he could return to Elias (I'm not sure if he's going to be true yet though) and Kora could continue her exploration of her LTW, but then Alban showed up...and THEN that thing with Hagon >_> seriously game...you're sick! SICK! (and yet so amusing too) LoL. How come the only guys available are from the same family?! I dunno ~__~
Isn't Dante the cutest? I thought he had brown eyes but they're gold - Althausen gold! I think the genetics are going to get VERY interesting from here on. Oh, and that second pregnancy was a total accident - ACR sent them off for fun and I was ignoring them too busy with Kora and then "lullaby sound" =_= oi...I was planning on waiting... (Thorbin's fault I'm sure!).
At last I can start the Faulkner3 family - Ansgar just started to intrigue me last round O_< he's a bit of a mystery - I'm very excited! See you soon~
