Round 36: August 2043 (Winter)
Julia Whitney has just entered her second trimester! It's the first child for her but the second for Sam, who already has a son, Zac, from a previous relationship.
Baby Whitney will arrive in March 2044.
Also expecting are Nathan and Rebecca Collins.
Both are first time parents and Rebecca has just entered her second trimester.
Not long ago, Nathan and Rebecca received the news that they'd be welcoming not one but two babies! The Collins twins are due in February 2044.
Chloe and Zane Hamilton's second child has just arrived!
Newly-minted big brother Cole was very keen to meet his little brother.
Cary Ross Hamilton has his mother's black hair and green eyes.
Notes:
- I'm using the Triplets & Quads mod (non-random version) in my game again now and am using Starr's odds for multiples. Rebecca had a slightly elevated chance of multiples, given that her dad is a twin. I'd only just decided to use the mod and I get twins first time around? Exciting! I will adjust the odds myself if I find twins are getting a little too common again. :)
Ohhh super exciting for Rebecca and Nathan, and I'm sure totally overwhelming! And yay for a brother for Cole, Cary is a very sweet name for him! I'm excited to see what Julia has too, and seeing how much he looks like Sam, or doesn't. Are you hoping for Rebecca to have twin sons? I believe that is what you mentioned not having recently... or maybe it was twin girls... I'm confusing myself!! :D It'd be fun if they had a blond baby, I'm sure Rebecca's Mom would *love* that!
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't think twins were on the cards for Rebecca and Nathan, in that tiny house of theirs! Thank goodness for that compact crib. ;) It's actually twin girls which are the rarest in my hood but I have boy/girl twins more often than anything else, so twin boys would be fun too. We'll see what happens. :)
DeleteNo chance of a blonde baby, unfortunately! Rebecca has a blonde recessive gene but Nathan is brown/brown, so all their kids will have brown hair. Megan will have to be content with the two blonde grandchildren she got from Victoria. ;) I won't get anything other than a brown-haired baby from Sam and Julia either. Both her parents have brown hair, so she's got boring genes!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Yay babies! I was wondering if Rebecca had an elevated chance for twins since her sisters are twins and her dad is a twin, but I am pretty sure the "twin gene" in vanilla TS2 is a myth. Mods would explain it. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, the twin gene is not quite a myth. In vanilla TS2, there is a thing called a twin token, which will show up in SimPE under your sim's memories. Any sim can have a twin token but sims have a higher chance of having the token if they're a sim themselves.
DeleteI don't actually know if any of my sims have the twin token or how common it is. I never looked in Sullivan 1.0 and haven't done so in Sullivan 2.0 either. I did look in one of my previous hoods and noticed probably 40% of sims had it? No clue if that was unusually high or low! I wish I could remember the twin-to-singleton ratio in that hood but I don't. I wasn't quite as nerdy back then. ;) Regardless, I'm happier controlling the odds myself. The game was clearly asleep at the wheel in terms of twins in Sullivan. The last natural set (as in, not affected by the Fertility Benefit, which I no longer use - that'll give you basically a 100% chance of twins) I had were Grace and Everett. That's not frequent enough for my crazy liking. ;)
Oh dear...I've nerded out again. ;)

Huh. Might have to fire up Sim PE one of these days.
DeleteOnce I get a new computer (the current one won't read CDs so I can't play Sims at the moment, weep weep) I might actually have room for big mods and I'd be sorely tempted to do complicated things with odds for multiples.
I said this on your blog this morning but I'd really look into a noCD patch. As long as you've got TS2 installed, your CD drive not working shouldn't be a reason you can't play. :)
DeleteI'm looking forward to Julia's new baby (and Zac's new sibling!). Tinkering with the mod sounds fun. Chloe and Zane are PNPCs, right? I am not familiar with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not tinkering with the mod at all. :) If the mod is going to give me multiples, I need to know about it beforehand and with triplets and quads, the game just isn't designed to give me that information. That's why I'm using the non-random version. That way, I can roll for multiples outside of the game and then use the selection dialog boxes to choose the correct amount of babies once it's time for them to be born. :) So in my case, it's fairly pointless to fiddle with the odds on the actual mod, although you can certainly do that.
DeleteChloe and Zane are playable NPCs, yes. Zane is Amar's younger brother. :)

Looking forward to seeing what Julia & Sam's baby will look like, they're a lovely couple and that red hair! ;)
ReplyDeleteAlas, Baby Whitney will most definitely not have red hair. Julia has boring genes - brown/brown - and they will dominate over Sam's red/red. Any future kids will have brown hair too. Still looking forward to seeing what the baby looks like though, of course!
