You say it's your birthday, September 2029


Camilla Sitko is now into her second trimester and she's really not enjoying pregnancy. She's tired all the time and really doesn't know how she'll cope once she's out of her parents' house.

Camilla is even more nervous now than she was when she first found out; at her 12 week ultrasound, she learned that she and Charlie are expecting twins!

Notes:
  • I've been gradually removing the fertility benefit from all my family Sims and as I was removing Sarah Carmody's the other day, I thought to myself "I wonder when I'll get my next pair of natural twins". Well, I guess the answer is September! Charlie and Camilla just have all the luck, don't they?
  • Twins run on both sides of the family. Camilla is a twin, her dad is a twin, as was her grandmother. Then on Charlie's side, his dad is a twin and his maternal and paternal grandmothers were both twins. I know twin Sims being more likely to have twins of their own has not really been confirmed but it really does seem to hold true for my game and always has.

  1. Oh, my, yes, they really are "lucky"! Poor girl. I want to reach in and hug her. How did her parents take the news of twins?

  2. I'm so glad I decided to wait on that drink, otherwise my computer would be very wet right now. Twins-twins, it figures. At least it's not triplets.

  3. Thanks for reading, guys. :D

    Riverdale, I think everyone is still adjusting to this development, David and Kirstin included. No one was expecting a baby and they definitely weren't expecting twins! They'll remain supportive though, perhaps even more so.

    Apple Valley, ah, yes! Definitely not going to be clicking that random button for poor Camilla!

  4. Seems like I had a point when I was hoping it wasn't twins :D
    Oh boy, poor Camilla. She'll have a really hard time, I guess. I hope Charlie will stick to her and help out as much as he can.

  5. I totally thought of the whole twins thing and then was all "Don't jinx Camilla!"

  6. OMG. All I can say is, poor Camilla and Charlie. As if it wasn't difficult for them and especially for her already. Two babies at the age of 17, yikes!

  7. Isn't that the way it goes sometimes? Poor Camilla! I think she's a strong girl and will get through this, she has a good support system

  8. Twins?!?! Isn't she supposed to go to college? How is she going to manage doing that now? My head is spinning.....

  9. Wow, twins!!! I can't believe it! Poor Camilla, like it's not going to be hard enough already! I hope Charlie sticks aroud, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to cope!

  10. Karolin, I hope Charlie sticks around too! The chemistry between them is fairly low, but if they seem to be getting along and keep rolling wants for each other, I may do the same thing I did with Finn and Victoria and change their turn-ons. That's all dependent on what happens from now on.

    Flit, by the time you guys found out about Camilla's pregnancy, it was too late to jinx me. These are natural twins, so I knew she was having two from the second she got pregnant. But in real life, she probably wouldn't have known until around the 12 week mark, so I waited to reveal it.

    Sari, yes, it's definitely going to be twice as hard for Camilla and Charlie now!

    Mizzgin03, I know, I can think of a few couples in my hood who want another child who'd be very grateful to be expecting twins right now. And then it happens to a couple who really aren't ready at all.

    Monique D, yes, Camilla will still be going to college. It's definitely going to be harder for her now but Augustin and Hanna managed with James and Naomi, so hopefully Charlie and Camilla will come through it okay as well. By the time they hit their senior year, I think the twins will be in pre-school so that'll be a little easier.

    Tanja, I was quite shocked myself! Fingers crossed Charlie steps up to the plate!

  11. Twins? That's horrible! Poor Camilla and Charlie! How will they cope?

  12. Awww, poor girl... I actually just found your blog from a link, and I've been enjoying your gameplay posts. I saw this post on the front page, and I thought, "Wait I made that nightgown". How incredibly cool. I feel special now :) I'm so glad I found your Sim world.

  13. Lunar, I know, of all the couples this could happen too!

    Kaylynn, how funny! I saw your name in my Gmail box this morning and thought "I've downloaded some clothes from a Kaylynn!" and then I find you are that Kaylynn!

    Anyway, thank you so much - I'm glad you've been enjoying the blog. :)

  14. Oh my goodness!! That is going to be A LOT of work!! Poor teens, if having one baby doesn't break their new relationship, I'm pretty sure twins can do that.

    And the twin thing holds true in my game too! Hence Vivienne and Cicely! I love it, way more than the twin benefit!

  15. Maisie, I think Charlie and Camilla are in for a really tough time now, with two babies! Poor kids.

    But yes, I love how twins seem to run in the family. In real life, I think I've heard that it's supposed to be passed down on the mother's side but it seems to be any old side in TS2!

  16. I'm late to the party but ditto to what everyone else has already said. I had completely forgot about the twins on Charlie's side of the family. Actually, I forgot about ALL the twins on her side, too. Geez, they were doomed from the beginning. I hope they can pull through.

    I should check out your play schedule but is a high school update scheduled while Camilla is pregnant? I know it'd probably be a pain to keep an eye on her motives with all those sims selectable but it could be interesting.

  17. Dani, yes, the odds were against Charlie and Camilla, I guess!

    There's no high school update while Camilla is pregnant though, as I've already done that for the round. It would be interesting but I don't know how it'd work. When a teen becomes pregnant, they temporarily become an adult. As long as you have the appropriate flavour packs, they'll still go to school but they are essentially adults until they give birth. So I wonder if Inge's school stuff would even allow me to enrol her? I guess I'd have to teleport her in and pretend she was a part of the class.
