Content Warning; Child Death
Huge ass post to make up for not playing in a while and my last two updates being so short lmao.
Poor Eino ended up dying of a mysterious illness (llazyneiph drama roll) and I forgot to take a picture of him as a toddler before he passed. The quadruplets have been dropped to two left, this is stressful guys.
Surprised I didn't even think of doing this earlier, but we got a photo of all the kiddos together! We are ignoring the smell glitch and the hat glitch; I fixed those after way too long of it happening lmao. Plus, a photo of just the girls together!
Both Philip and Ben are really bad at aiming the snowballs... but at least they had fun. I feel like the winter is never going to end, if I have one more blizzard, I am going to LOSE IT. Anyways.
The Frost family reached Christmas and had a lovely turkey meal. (I have nothing to make any other large meal for these holidays, ignore they had turkey for the last big holiday as well.)
The cold leaves little for the family to do work wise, so it is mostly just them trying to get through it and keep the kids entertained enough to prevent grumpy people in the house. They do seem to be faring well in that department at least. Except the fact Ben keeps making jokes about poor Erilyn.
We have new sleeping arrangements given the kids are getting older and starting to need bigger beds! Not sure how I'm going to place the fifth bed not under a top bunk when the two are no longer toddlers because it is already pushed as close as it can to the front door... but we'll deal with that when we get there, yeah?

Minna had twin baby girls. Luckily, the birth went by with little error and both are alive. We've got little Selma and Zelda Wendlen in the family. There is worry with Selma though because of the fact her head is scarily small compared to her body.
Despite just birthing twins, Minna has found time to herself to return back to the easel in the barns and started painting after long months of not being able to. This piece is still undone, but the more she does, it is beginning to look like she is making a self-portrait. (Which I thought was so cute when I saw the hair color)
Rolf hasn't gotten the bathroom when its free, so he took it upon himself to just shower out in the rain and the pond. Just be glad he went into the more secluded part of their lot to do so, but he's definitely clean for once!
Sadly, baby Selma did not make it. Her head was too small and over the night, Minna found her un-waking. She looked just like her mother, and I think that scared Rolf off because he has been avoiding the house a bit now. Luckily, Zelda is still healthy, she is too little to understand where her sister is, but she definitely knows that she isn't around.
On a foraging expedition, Rolf came across a little foal. He doesn't know why the little horse followed him home, they seem to both have a mutual hatred towards each other. (Seriously, why does every animal hate poor Rolf) Rolf was going to send the girl away and force her back to the wild, but then Minna had seen her, and Minna was not going to let Rolf do that.
Minna was able to convince Rolf to house the foal until she could fully live by herself given the poor foal seems to have an injured back leg. Minna made Rolf promise, and Rolf has a problem of not being able to say no to his wife. While he attempts to work on the foal's leg, the girl kicks him away every time, so it is a bit of a task.
At least the girl seems to like Adelbert, Rolf would have said "absolutely not" if the horse even looked like she might kick at his child. The foal seems to understand enough that Adelbert is three years old only and keeps her distance unless he approaches her.

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)

Gonna be real, not a lot happened in 1304, it was pretty uneventful. Lilith got to work on the first-Generation Portrait, (which I hope doesn't break down the line... I'll keep the pictures via hardrive and integrate into my game with CC version if it does.) She is still working through her pregnancy, and the baby seems to be doing just fine. Her illnesses went away fairly quickly, so they are hoping that the babies end up birthing just fine.
I did have the family go to the local tavern for May Day, and they ended up being able to see a family of ducks, so that was pretty nice. Ruben's garden is also coming along nicely even though the soil seems to be pretty dry this season.

The toddlers don't seem to be taking the idea of having more siblings very well... but they're gonna have to get over it since I kinda need a big family to keep at least a hope that all of them don't die. 😭
Baby Ben and Thomas are born early morning. Of course, neither toddler seems to be happy about even still. While Izabella is mostly sad about it, more so about her mother not having time to spend more time with now because of another set of twins (i think she's actually cursed), Philip is outright mad about having more brothers lol.
As if to prove that is not the case to her elder children, she has been reading them bedtime stories every night... It doesn't help that the younger two are constantly waking Philip and Izabella in the middle of the night.
When aging Ben & Thomas, Thomas sadly passed from Sepsis. (I totally forgot to add this…) and I forgot to take a picture of Ben as an infant- So that will be in the next upload lol.
I fear that Nicolas is becoming a mortal enemy of mine right now... Fussy, AND doesn't like being held? AND A LIGHT SLEEPER? Both him and Thalia are light sleepers and both wake up at different times of the night, poor Charity and Leviathon don't get much sleep these days.
WHICH IS WHY I WAS SHOCKED WHEN CHARITY CAME UP AND ASKED THIS WHEN LEVI WAS TRYING TO PUT THE KIDS TO BED. Obviously I said yes because I love the drama, and if she wants kids and is asking, why not. Levi has already been autonomously thinking about baby bottles and everything.
This pandasama drawing toy is really cute, and both Thalia and Nicolas have been taking turns drawing, filling their walls with just pure chaos of crayon and paper. Thalia is also the only one who wears shoes in the house and is constantly playful because of it, and the fact she wears mismatched shoes seems so perfect about the whole dynamic.
And lastly, both Thalia and Nicolas had their first naps since aging into toddlers since they've never really been tired during the days before, but they both went and napped on the sofa, and I thought that was adorable.

Starter Heir's Wife:
To start off,,, Ruben and Lilith settled into a farm together shortly after marrying. With the little money from Lilith's father, they were able to buy a cow and two chickens. Their farm (gardening patch) is by no means fully used, but they have a few crops growing already.
(pretending the pregnancy test is grain seeds...)(I ALSO FORGOT TO TAKE OFF HER NAIL POLISH FOR A HOT MINUTE IM SORRYYYY) Within a couple months of living on the farm, Lilith was overjoyed (even though she looks in tears in the photo- I swear she was happy) to find out that she was pregnant!
The move was surprisingly a lot easier than Lilith was fearing it to be (she had a really close relationship with her father, and he ended up passing a month after she moved away-) and she found to enjoy the farm life with Ruben fairly quickly. (Given she grew up a baker's daughter, though they were by no means wealthy.)
Oh. And Vlad decided to show up and feast on Ruben... Erm. It was not planned. (I swear, I tried stopping it T-T he would not leave) So he might be a tad... under the weather? (I have a mod that makes being bitten have a chance of being turned... I don't know what to do if he does turn... sigh.)
It took literally almost until the last three months for Lilith and Ruben to be able to make anything other than gruel... Lilith was pretty proud of herself (and relieved to eat something other than gruel) when they finally had the ingredients to make porridge. Of course,,, not a first choice either,,, but it was better than gruel!
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
I mostly played with the royals this year! It won't be very common that I do, but their children aged up and I thought I would check up on them.
Joan: Bea, I just don't know what to do. The entire town seems to hate me, haven't you noticed? Back home in Tartosa, I was well loved, it does not make any sense.
Beatrice: The people are different here, your grace. You know that King Edward is... Well, I mustn't say this if I want to live, if you understand what I am saying.
Joan: No, no, I understand. I just wish that they did not take it out on me. It's tireless behavior.
Jack: Mother, you will never believe it. I think I have fallen in love.
Joan: Jack... This is the third girl this week. It's Tuesday.
Jack: Well, yes, but this is the one this time. And she is actually a royal, so father would approve.
Joan: Your wife is already picked out, Jack...
Jack: Oh. Well then, I think I will fall in love with her when I meet her!
Joan: You've- You've already met her.
Edward: I've been at this for hours, good grief. Is this all of it then?
Luis: That's your first response of action, Your Majesty. There are dozens of others and there are letters from the other kingdoms wondering about which daughter the young prince is getting married to.
Edward: I still haven't done that. I already told Joan that the girl was picked out, has it not been yet?
Luis: No, Your Majesty, you never looked at the letters or the lineup of princesses yet.
Edward: I swear I will have died by the time I finished all of this. I am done for the day, Luis, tell everyone I am not here.
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.
