House 01

The rotation started with the youngest Vis girls, Zofia (Pace's alien daughter) and Silence (Paloma's illegitimate child by Pyrros) becoming adults. Silence soon moved out.

And it was now time for Zofia, who had remained dateless throughout her teen years, to find a suitable husband. Enter gypsy matchmaker...and a very creepy one, at that.

She got vacation townie Johnny Fratster (Family, Aquarius 4/4/4/7/6, LTW to become a Captain Hero) as a date. They have good chemistry together, with Zofia being a Knowledge sim and all. He'll do perfectly.

They ended up having an excellent date.

By the end of the rotation, Zofia proposed, and we will see her become Mrs. Fratster when rotation number 3 rolls around. :) (There will already be enough sims with the Vis last name, so we get some variation over here.)

House 02

The beginning of this rotation was pretty agitated for House 02, seeing as everyone was always too busy with work-related stuff.

But I still found some time to repair the relationship of Johannes and Amaranta, who had been wrecked by Johannes' alien half-brother Danny at the end of the last rotation.

By the end of the rotation, they were getting along well enough to get married. Amaranta took Johannes' last name, becoming Amaranta Legacy.

(Back to front, left to right: Nuria Vis; Apricot Legacy; Pace Vis; Paloma Vis; Danny Legacy; Jennifer Legacy; Silence Vis; Leo Legacy; a random townie Nuria brought home from work.)

And, of course, as it always happens at my sims' weddings, there were some relatives that just didn't bother to watch the actual ceremony. I'm looking at you, Octavia, Halle, Electra and Lianne.

Johannes and Amaranta did try for baby after the wedding, but they did not succeed in conceiving.

House 03

A rotation pretty much devoted to the toddler training of little Quinn by his mother Halle (and his aunt Octavia, too).

He is also a very cute little toddler. :) Like his...uh...cousin of some sort, Anatidaephobia Legacy.

Octavia also did a lot of skilling, going further and further in the direction of fulfilling her Celebrity Chef LTW.

And by the end of the rotation, Halle found a new love in Amin Cuckoo (Family, Scorpio 7/8/2/8/3, LTW to have 6 grandchildren). Amin here is a male version of my ATOR sim Annabeth "Anna" Random, who took part in an undocumented asylum challenge of mine a while back.
They hit it off really well.

I had them try for baby at the end of the rotation, and Halle did get pregnant. We'll be seeing the kid next rotation. ;)

The very last event at this house was Quinn's child birthday.

House 04

We began the rotation in this house with our resident pregnant ladies, Raven and Midnight, skilling. Seems that's the cool thing to do this rotation.

Meanwhile, the girls taken by the Social Worker last rotation kept walking by. Every. Single. Day.

And Katherine, the romancer she is, made more and more conquests. Don't worry about her romancing an adult townie - at this point she was very, very close to being an adult herself.

But of course she had to screw up, not when woohooing, but when sneaking out with Samuel Tanner (who is also the father of Halle's son Quinn). I had to terminate this pregnancy, sadly, as Katherine was too close to adulthood to be able to go full term and give birth.

I also found decent maternity wear for Raven and Midnight, as their dresses seemed to have a pregnancy morph during their 2nd trimester, but I found out they didn't actually have one when they reached their 3rd trimester.
And that was how sundresses became Riverblossom Hills' official maternity clothes.

Soon, we had Raven going into labour...with her husband calmly looking through the telescope while standing right next to her. Nice going, Wyn.

Raven gave birth to a girl, Branwen Poisoned (Sagittarius 1/8/9/8/1). She is a clone of her older sister Nerezza, the one taken by the Social Worker.

And then it was Midnight's turn to give birth.

Her baby turned out to be a boy, Flavius Poisoned (Scorpio 10/7/8/2/5).

Don't let his skin scare you. It just means he has the same skin as Katherine, he'll look fine as a toddler, trust me.

A lovely purple nursery was quickly set up for the two cousins. What baby wouldn't love to sleep right beneath a portrait of Cornelia Goth holding a kitten?

It was also around that time that Katherine and Midnight started hating each other - I think Midnight had been in love with Samuel Tanner and caught Katherine with him, or something of the sort.

Kat's brother Chryses just did his best to ignore the feud between his wife and his little sister.

Close to the end of the rotation, Katherine became a (very pretty) adult.

Who promptly picked a fight with Midnight...and lost.

She felt a little better after fulfilling some Romance wants, but it was a relief for me to have her move out (and move in with Emil and Storm). I didn't want to deal with the constant fights between her and Midnight.

House 05

We also had some skilling over here...especially on the colourful-haired girls' part, as they both have career-related LTWs.

All hell broke loose when Lilith invited Elliot Cuckoo over (he is the male version of Electra Random from ATOR, from the same asylum challenge as Amin Cuckoo, Halle Vis' current boyfriend. Knowledge, Pisces 3/1/9/6/10, already fulfilled LTW to become a Media Magnate).

Apparently, Lilith's mother Ebony had also been in love with Elliot (which I, frankly, didn't remember). And despite having yet another lover of hers outside...

...she proceeded to slap the hell out of Elliot. Adding to the soap opera potential, I'd just had Lilith (who is a Family sim) try for baby with Elliot, so you're seeing a woman who is now furious at the daughter who is carrying the child of one of her former lovers. (Phew. That was hard to put together.)

Lilith will give birth next rotation, and I already feel sorry for that poor child, given their current family situation.

House 06

Moving on to happier events now, Silence Vis moved in with her boyfriend Damien Goffik after I'd played him for the 3 days of rotation. There was still time for the two lovebirds to get engaged...

...and have a lovely nighttime wedding. Damien took Silence's last name, becoming Damien Vis.

(Back to front, left to right: Paloma Vis; Pace Vis; either Midnight or Raven Poisoned; Belladonna Goffik - all of those pillowfighting; either Hecate or Lilith Goffik; either Octavia or Halle Vis; Nuria Vis; Amaranta Legacy; Ebony Goffik; either Halle or Octavia Vis; Zofia Vis; either Lilith or Hecate Goffik; either Raven or Midnight Poisoned.)
Yes, I know how confusing that sounds...

Damien and Silence, like Johannes and Amaranta, also tried for baby after their wedding. Just like Johannes and Amaranta, they weren't successful.

House 07

What a surprise, another wedding! Like her sisters before her, Storm took her husband's last name, and is now Storm Poisoned.

(Back to front, left to right: either Belladonna, Lilith or Hecate Goffik; Katherine Poisoned; either Chryses or Wyn Poisoned; either Raven or Midnight Poisoned; either Lilith, Hecate or Belladonna Goffik; either Wyn or Chryses Poisoned; either Hecate, Belladonna or Lilith Goffik; either Midnight or Raven Poisoned.)
Yes, I know. I know.

As the wedding guests went inside, feeling cold, Hecate was horrified to see her mother Ebony beat up her own pregnant daughter, Lilith. Lovely. Just lovely...
