UDC YR. 1315

We hit the Great Famine! Content Warnings ensue.

'The Great Famine of 1315–1317 was the first of a series of large-scale crises that struck Europe early in the 14th century. Most of Europe was affected. Crop failures were not the only problem; cattle disease caused sheep and cattle numbers to fall as much as 80%. The period was marked by extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, and even cannibalism and infanticide. Historians debate the toll, but it is estimated that 10–25% of the population of many cities and towns died.'

The Frost family had to say goodbye to their stock when they couldn't keep up with managing even enough food for themselves. It was hard to let go such a well working food source of eggs, but they wouldn't have gotten anything out of the chickens (or their cow) if they had kept them and let them starve.

The garden lost all of the plants, no longer bearing any harvest that Ruben had to dig them all up from the ground. Food helpings are being cut in half and the kids are becoming short tempered as a result. Lowri in particular has been extremely vocal about her distaste towards pretty much everything at any point that she can. (she got the loud child phase lol)

Philip has been getting sick way too easy ever since but is still doing his best to keep the younger ones entertained and shift their minds away from being hungry. Ben, on the other hand, has been angry and quiet, Ulla has been pushing her worries about him for a while. Ruben says that he just needs some time to himself.

If anything, Ruben has been taking this as a chance to work on new seed bags to lure animals during his hunts. They've become scarcer to find on his runs, but that hasn't let him down just yet. Ulla has been subject to his ramblings on the different pairings of seeds and scents would better attract an animal towards his trap that she has begun to follow him around during the day so she can sleep at night.

UDC YR. 1310 (+1309 recap)

Was outta the loop of playing my udc save for a hot minute that I forgot to take screenshots for 1309 when I got back so recap time! All that happened really was that Ruben remarried early 1309! Thats- that is really it. He does get sad about Lilith every now and then but for challenge purposes I need more heir possibilities... I don't wanna loose before gen 2 L

(You are seeing right, I did change my shaders again) These days, Philip has been pretty scared to say the least. He rarely goes to bed himself anymore cause he's scared of monsters and the dark...

Also! I decided to revoke them of their loft and instead made a bedroom for the parents so the babies don't wake the other children. Baby Lowri has been very destructive and so Ben and her are not at likes at the moment...

Fun little family dinner on the first day of winter! Literally, this was the first time they all sat on the same end of the table and the toddlers were both around the table. Perfectly sat down at different sides of the table too! I dunno, it was very satisfying for me lol

And on the last day of 1310... Ulla gave birth... And I swear I am not cheating these, nor do I have any traits to make them more fertile for mulitples... But Ulla had quads! (I am dying) She had Ebba (F), Erilyn (F), Eino (M), and Eyra (M)! I tried to give them more Scandinavian names to match their mother's nationality. Sadly, Ebba was a stillborn but the other three came out healthy!

And since we have passed ten years, heres a look on the family tree! (because its so big, I am no longer having any more kids with gen 0 parents lol I was planning to only have two or one with Ulla-) Ignore the spoilers of the quads surviving infanthood and Ben getting to a child lol, that happens first day of 1311.

I would have kept them infants longer, but having twins is so indescribably stressful especially when their father is FAILING HIS COLLEGE COURSES CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING THE KIDS. sigh. I'd rather him fail college than be a neglectful father though.

Sock is the kitty, I don't take enough photos of him, but Levi and Charity got him when they first started dating. He's a grumpy man. Shae is also in this photo; I might start making posts about her and her own daughter as well. 👀 anyways not much happened between this update and the last, I was busy setting up my rainbow legacy house asldnfldsaknff

Babies,,, My renditions of Ray and Evangeline from The Princess and The Frog !! I'm excited to play with them though hehe, I will post their character sheets whenever I get around to actually making them

its been CRAZY y’all I cannot. Charity is barely home because shes working all the time and they still have NO MONEY 😭😭 Levi just finished his 8/12 classes, and Charity had to completely rearrange her garden during her day off.

this has to be my favorite picture of Charity and Thalia though, like that is so sweetttt. Charity watching Thalia while Levi is bathing Nicolas and they both passed out.

The house has been getting pretty messy, but they’re doing surprisingly well! The kiddos age up in four days and they’ve already got a birthday party planned with three close friends attending.

their first every day outfits shown above. (i made multiple cause there were so many cute ones)

UDC YR. 1314

Philip is thirteen! He is getting super close to the eligible marriage age (15) for the 1300s, that is crazy. I made him shorter for my own sake, but he will slowly be aging up even while a "teen" in sims.

New spousal portrait for the Frost family because I kept forgetting to make it, what's new. They've been spending a lot of time together through winter without actually having much to do and have come to the conclusion that they don't actually have a lot in common (game please) so uhhhh. we love arranged marriages, I guess?

Lowri has become a very sociable girl and even made friends with the daughter of the Orellano's who lives down the street. Their cow, Belle, has been warming up to her as she started to come out and talk to her every morning while her mother would milk Belle.

We have a new family portrait with the kids now that they are older, and honestly, should've waited till now to make it instead smh, but here we are! From left to right: Erilyn (4), Philip (13), Eyra (4), Lowri (7), and Ben (9). Next year is going to be the first crisis to impact my game and I'm so nervous, no food sources for three years,,, yikes.

UDC update

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.

UDC YR. 1307

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.
