Chapter 2: 3x The Charm

Soon after returning to the house, Joslyn called up the art studio and quit her job. It broke her heart not to be able to pursue her dream but she'd never be able to keep working full time and also take care of three little babies.

Speaking of.... meet generation two of the Star family: Noelle, Alivia, and Zoe

Even without a job, Joslyn had a hard time keeping up with kids.

Luckily, she managed to enlist some help from her good friend Farrah.

Which I guess to Joslyn meant she could bugger off to watch TV while her friend took care of her children -_-

Regardless I figured Joslyn could use a break so I sent her and Farrah on a night on the town.

Joslyn proceeded to let loose.

Very loose... Uh. Maybe it's time to go home now.

Before long, it was time for the triplets birthday. Let's have a look at them all made over and such why don't we?

This here is Noelle who gained the trait Independent

Zoe with the Clingy trait

And Alivia with the Wild trait.

Joslyn had saved up a meager amount of money at this point so the triplets even got their own backyard playground :)

Awwww look at those little happy facesssssss

And with the trips somewhat able to care for themselves, Joslyn retreated back to her painting.

Not to say that she wasn't a doting mother because she absolutely was.

Oh come on! It's a slide you're supposed to be having fun!

That's better.

Awwwwwww. See, Joslyn really surprised me with how good of a mom she is.

Even as the tots were getting into ALL kinds of trouble. I don't think I ever saw Joslyn get mad despite the fact that she had the hot-headed trait. 

If she ever needed a break, she'd just retreat to her easel, leaving the kids to their own devices for a while. 

Which yanno maybe wasn't always the best idea.....

But the girls could always cheer each other up. See in most of my families the kids have a hard time getting along but the girls had already formed such great friendships it made me really happy :) 

Stop trying to escape the family photos Zoe!!

And as the family at this point was barely making any money, a good amount of family bonding was done in the bathroom as everyone did their business. Yummy. 

But really, the majority of the girls days were spent skilling. 

To nom or not to nom, that is the question. 

Although I've gotta be honest. At this point every room in our house was a freakin nightmare, but no one really had time to attend to it, so I just had to deal with the negative moodlets.

Elsewhere in the house we had a stinky naked toddler on the loose

Who apparently decided that flashing the neighborhood was the best course of action...

Ah yes, a naked romp in the ball pit, the perfect start to any day. 

But not all the children in the Star household were as exhibitionist as Alivia. In fact, Zoe and Noelle were happiest just being goofballs with each other. It's an interesting mix seeing as Zoe is clingy and Noelle is Independent but somehow it works. 

And then something weird happened....

Yeah at some point, I noticed that Liam was hanging out at the house. 

And the bugger would not leave! I finally had to use a cheat to send him home, after he was in the house for over three days. 

 Before I knew it, it was time for the triplets to age up.

 First up was Noelle.

Awh. Rather cute in my opinion. And she gained the Loner trait

Next was Alivia...

And we're already into the moody phase aren't we, miss Noelle.

Alivia gained the Active trait.

 And last up Zoe.

Who gained the Good trait.

Now why don't we take a look at the lot all made over.

 Noelle


 Zoe

Alivia

And with the triplets transition into childhood, I bid you adieu until next time dear readers.

Chapter 1: Introductions

Hi lovelies and welcome to the brand-new parentacy that I'm starting! A little background before we start...a parentacy is a variation on the 10-generation legacy challenge where every generation's parents has specific rules/regulations. If you'd like to read more about the challenge click this link but I will not be specifying the rules/regs in the legacy as they will be part of the storyline. Now without any further ado......

As always we start with a look at our founder: Joslyn Star
                Traits: Hot-headed, Creative, Self-Assured
                Ambition: Fabulously Wealthy

I moved Joslyn onto a small plot of land in Willow Creek and with the almighty power of me, plopped down a cute little blue stone house. It's not much, but it was all we could afford at the moment. 

First things first, I had her ring up the art studio in town and land herself a job. If we had any hope of fulfilling her lifetime wish, we need to start raking in the money now. 

Then she marched off to the art room to work on her painting skill. 

It wasn't long though before she got lonely and I figured a trip to the local bar would do us both some good. After all the lady can't continue a legacy all by herself. *wink wink*

She soon indulged in her favorite juice, getting the attention of the oddly pale waiter.

It was only a few moments later when a handsome stranger sat down next to her.

But alas, only a few moments into their conversation and he made it quite clear that he was married. Joslyn continued to stare at him hopelessly even after that news so I thought it best to get her out of there before she decided to wreck a marriage. Self-assured sims yanno? 

Instead she retreated to the bubble blower to soothe her mind. Strange choice, but better than chasing after unavailable men.

Lookin a little woozy there, Jos.

After getting suitably bubbly, and with no other male prospects that I could see, Joslyn jogged home through the crsip air of Willow Creek. 

Hopefully, the next day would have better prospects. 

Bright and early the next morning, Jos was up fixing breakfast for her first day on the job.

Although she looks rather peaved, doesn't she?

0_0

The next couple of days were remarkably similar. Joslyn woke up, went to work, came home, and worked on her painting skill. In fact, she scored her first promotion! We're moving up in the world!

To celebrate, I sent Jos and a friend back to the bar to celebrate. Which I guess to my sims always means heading straight for the bubbler.

 But something was different this time. Jos almost felt as though someone was watching her. Someone very handsome.

She made her way across the bar to greet the man who'd been eyeing her.

And once the conversation started, it just didn't seem to stop. 

She even went so far as to invite him back to her place. Where she proceeded to change into her underwear. I'm tellin ya it's the self-assured trait. 

And well, one thing led to another... 

But in the ugly light of day, Joslyn discovered something about the man she'd spent the night with. He was married. 

He tried to sit down and talk with her, but she told him in no uncertain terms that she would never be the other woman. 

Then she told him to get out. 

Understandably upset, Jos retreated to her artwork. It was really the only thing that could soothe her. 

 But y'see guys, because of a mod that I have in my game which enables risky woohoo, I soon discovered that Joslyn's man hadn't left without a gift. 

She wasn't exactly happy with the news. 

To be honest, Joslyn's days continued as normal even after the pregnancy news. The thought of contacting the father had crossed her mind a couple times but ultimately she decided she'd be better off without him. He was after all married.

Side note though -- who at EA decided that the artists career outfits should be so frickin hideous to look at I mean really?

Guess what time it is folks?

Unfortunately, Joslyn didn't really have anyone at home so I sent her on over to the hospital to deliver her baby. (Fingers crossed for a girl!)

What an uh.... terrifying  interesting contraption...

Looks a bit painful...

But fear not! A few huffs and puffs later and we had a beautiful bouncing baby GIRL!

And uh...another one in that crib over there.

Oh, you've gotta be frickin kidding me!

Yeah, we're on the same page sweetheart. And with the birth of the triplets, I'm going to end this chapter. Join us next time to get to know them better :)
