Birthdays - September 2018

Annie and Erik Tora are looking forward to the birth of their 1st child, only one month later that Annie's twin sister, Abby, they will welcome the newest addition to their family. Unfortunatly this won't be untill Februari 2019.

Over in SimsVille, Lewis is really excited to welcome yet another brother. Lillte Micheal Mishoen is the first of Tika and Xiang's children to inherrit Tika's pale skintone. He has black hair, just like his 2 older brothers, Lewis and Josh.

Kristianne Spits is a little bit sad to see her youngest one turn one. Emily looks a lot like her older brother, Peter. Kristianne is hoping she can convince Richard to have another child, but she's not too hopefull about it.

Notes:

• I think I've said it before, but I'm really looking forward to Annie and Abby's babies. It's nice that they will have children only a month apart, and it would be nice to see them grow up together.
• Despite all my hoping and praying for a girl for Tika and Xiang, the game desided otherwise, as always I guess. I'm kind of excited though, because of Michael's pale skintone, he's the only baby in the hood so far to have that skintone.
• As a true family sim, Kristianne immidiatly rolled the want for another child the moment Emily turnd 1. I don't know if they will be having any more children, since they hardly have the money for the ones they already have; and Richard reached his ideal family size with the birth of Emily, which is 2 children, Kristianne's ideal family size is 6 :)

Birthdays - Fall 2017

With the babyroom finished Nio and Stella Terrano are well prepared for the arrival of their second child next February.

Over at the Verbon household Mia is taking these last months home to spend some quality time with her daughters. They will have to share the attention a little bit more once their little brother or sister will be born next January.

At the Spits home, Kristianne doesn't have to wait much longer to hold her little bundle of joy. After breakfast...

... and a shower, she feels her time has come.

Not long after she went into labor, she's holding little Emily Spits.

Notes:

• I know it's a lousy birth, and I didn't to much to make it better. But my hospital didn't function anymore, and I didn't have the patience to wait untill I got it fixed (thank you Maisie!), so it was a homebirth for Kristianne, and Richard wasn't even home for it!
  Anyway, Anabelle's wish (and mine) for a little sister has been granted. I think Emily hope look like her brother, Peter, she has brown hair and I'm really happy with that! Too many black haired sims walking around already. But in Emily's case's it's not so hard, her father has brown hair and her mother has red.
• I'm kind of anxious to meet the new arrivals! I wonder if the Terrano's will have another greenskinned child, if so I'm hoping for a boy, in any case I'm hoping it will be a boy. And for the Verbon's I'm hoping for a boy as well. But you'll see, I have been hoping for girls for the last briths, and it all were boys, so I'm pretty sure the game will not give me what I wish for :)

Birthdays - Summer 2017

In the winter of 2018 2 families will be welcomming a newest addition to their families.

At the Verbon household, Mia and Olaf are anxiously awaiting the birth of their 3rd child. The doctor already confirmded that it will only be one baby this time.

Birthdays - Spring 2017

Not much happening this season, at least not compared to my previous birthdaypost.
There is a little bit of everything :)

Birthdays - Winter 2017

It took me sometime to get through this birthday-session! I have at 18 birthdays for you, so let's get started!
Be warned this one is rather long!

Birthdays - Summer 2015

I forgot it again! I don't know why I keep forgetting these things, maybe because I always mention something about it in their update, I have no idea.
So here I am, starting with the announcement I forgot last birthday-post; Stella Terrano is pregnant. After long doubting, she finally caved, to fill the empy part in her life. Nio and Stella will be welcomming their first child in the fall of 2015.
Also expecting is Tosca Zang. She's expecting twins! Xun and Tosca wil be welcomming their newest addition in the winter of 2016. Xun's parents are really excited about getting another grandchild, let's hope Ross will be as excited to get 2 siblings.
Lastly we have a birthday. Over at the Spits-household Peter Spits celebrates his 1st birtday. It will quite busy with 3 children under the age of 4!

Birthdays - Summer 2014

As promissed in the last post, another birthday-post, only birth this time, unfortunatly no other announcements this time.
The pregnancy gave Kristianne some much needed time to spend with her huband and children.
But this pregnancy was much harder then the first one, maybe because she had to care for the Anabel and Anthony and do the household too, and didn't get as mcuh rest as she needed.
You can imagine Krisitianne's happiness when her time came, and she gave birth to a healhy baby-boy. Richard and Krisitanne named their little one, Peter Spits.
Peter has darkblue eyes and brown hair.

Birthdays - Winter 2014

After Anabel and Anthony's 1st birthday, Kristianne felt she was ready for another child. Since Anabel and Anthony are not Richard's biological children, Richard was happy with the thought of having a child of his own.
Kristianne and Richard are expecting their 1st child together in the summer of 2014.

After all that time, only being able to talk to his wife's belly, Xun hardly couldn't wait to have his child in his arms.
Thankfully he didn't have to wait that long, because this winter Tosca and Xun became the proud parents of Ross Zang.

While Xun is exited about his son, his brother is exited about his son's 1st birthday. In the Mishoen household, they are celebrating little Lewis' birthday.

Birthdays - Summer 2013

It's time for the birthdays!
This season we celebrate Anabel and Anthoy Spits' 1st birthday.
So this is Anthony, who doesn't look a lot like his father, at least I don't think so, and I'm really bad in seeing similarities in parents and their children.
And here is Anabel. Both children have brown eyes, but both Kristianne and Jason have brown eyes too.

Birthdays - Summer 2012

Yet another birthday this summer. The Wagmans family is preparing to say goodbey to their calm days. With one toddler in the house it was already hectic.
But now it's time to celebrate Collin's first birthday, and this is an announcement to some more hectic days!
See here; the 2 troublemakers! Collin and Camden. From this distance you can't see it clearly, but they actually don't look much alike dispite for their blond hair. Collin has green eyes like his mother, and Camden has the eyes of his fahter's bleu eyes, their faces are different too, and their noses too. It's funny how 2 brother can be so much alike and yet not so much.

For the next announcement we visit the Spits household again.
When Richard left for work, Kristianne desided to take a nice bubblebath.
Since it didn't feel as comfortable as she wanted she didn't stay in it too long. Instead she went to the livingroom to read a book. She never got to reading the book, because her time had come.
Soon she welcomed a baby-girl into the family, Anabel.
Anabel was soon followed by her brother, Anthony.
Both kids have black hair, but Anabel has brown eyes and Anthony has blue eyes.
This is a nice time to mention that Kristianne and Richard also got married. There was no big ceremony, they just did it in the livingroom.

Note: genetics can be so mistirious in sims 2! While Mia (Jason's sister) has black hair, her 2 girls have brown hair, like Mia's husband, Olaf, and Mia's mother, Marie. Jason on the other hand has brown hair, but his 2 kids are born with black hair, like Jason's grandparents; Jonas and Eve.

Birthdays - Winter 2012

And again nothing but baby-posts this season! I hope to have some birthdays really soon!
Kristianne Spits found out she's execting, her baby is due in the summer of 2013. The father of the baby is Jason Draper, but he doesn' t know, Kristianne cut of all contact when she found out she was pregnant. Her best friend; Richard van de Wiel, has moved in and they are engaged, he will be a father for the baby.
At the Mokara residence, the family is ready to welcome baby number 3 in the family. After the birth of son David in the spring of 2011, they desided to have a third one very close to the second one.
The newest addition to the family is another baby-boy. His name is Sam Mokara. His skintone a mix of his both parents. Just like their other children Sam has black hair.

Note: I was really happy when Yin gave birth to only one child! I have the option for higher chance of twins for Hans, and they never had twins. Thank god for that this time, because there is abslutely no room for 4 children!

Playable NPCs

Since I have a whole list with all my playables I thought I'd introduce you to my playable NPC's too. After all they only become playable NPC's when they get involved with some of the playables, so they all share something with one of the playables.

So what  are playable NPC's? They are sims who get involved with my regular playables for a significant amount of time (not just girlfriend/boyfriend of the week), but where the relationship ends for one reason or another, or where they have been in a relationship for quite some time but they aren't engaged or married yet.
They are also sims who start a relationship all on their own, when I play a dorm or a community lot, or something else.

My playable NPC's don't have their own updates, but I do play them the exact same way I play my regular playables, which is 1 week per round. I follow the same rules with my playable NPC's as I do for my regular playables for everything. So they aren't that different from my regular playable, they just don't have their own updates.

At the moment I have about 18 playable NPC-family. I know that is a lot, but from some I'm sure they will eventually end up with one of my regulars.
But I do love them, I just couldn't write them off, and I love adding new genetics to my game and playing them without having to worry about getting out a good story.

 

The Benson Family: Emily Robins is the girl for who Berend Lillig left his girlfriend, and mother of his daughter, Ella Rai. Berend saw the relationship very different from Emily, as for her it just was a fling. They lived together for a short period of time, before breaking up. Not long after Berend moved out, Emily met Aaron Benson, and in 2023 they got married.

In November 2023 they became the proud parents of Julia and Liam.

The Bleek Family: Niels Bleek used to date Tina Mishoen when they were both teens. When Tona became pregnant, very unexpectedly, their relationship cooled down quite a bit, and Niels never took much interest in Zoey. At the same time Niels was dating Tina, he also met Belinda Stevens and Samantha Bradshaw.

When Samantha left SimsVille in August 2021, Niels decided to go with her, and cut off all ties with SimsVille, and all his women there.
In 2025 Niels returned to SimsVille. He now lives in a trailer park in Simmeria, and is trying to get some kind of relationship again with his ex-girlfriend, Tina Mishoen and their dautgher, Zoey.

The Brems Family: This family consisted originally of Magdalena and her twins sons, Cole and David. This family was created to give Cole a family, because I wanted him to have family.

The Dawson Family: Bea started dating Stephan Belio when she was 16. She always saw more in their relationship, and started dreaming of a future together when Stephan moved out on his own.

When Bea graduated high school in 2027 she found a small apartment in Simmeria, where she also works in a restaurant. She hopes to one day open her own restaurant.

Their son Malcolm wasn't too happy about the move, bus is slowly warming up to this new town, especially now that he has found friends, and even a girlfriend.

The Ooms Family: Harriët Ooms and her husband were added to my game because she used to have the same last name as one of my playables, Olaf Verbon.
