You say it's your birthday, February 2035

Round 32: February 2035 (Summer)

Olivia Nihill is now in her second trimester and just about everybody knows about the impending new addition. First to learn the happy news were Steve and Olivia's daughters Ramona and Jacinta, who are very excited! Olivia is due in August.

Meanwhile, Francesca Moretti is celebrating her first birthday! She is the fifth child for Evan and Ione and has four older siblings to watch out for her.

Francesca is also one of the smiliest little girls in all of Sullivan!

Also turning one this February is Catherine Moretti!

Catherine was a huge surprise for parents Nick and Sarah but one year later, she's well and truly found her place in the family.

Notes:

Shall we do some comparisons?

Catherine...

Nick...

...and Sarah.

Francesca...

Ione...

...and Evan.

Notes:
  • So what do we think? I think Francesca looks a lot like Justin did as a toddler. I think he mostly favours Ione, so I guess Francesca does too. Catherine, meanwhile, looks mostly like Nick, except I think those are Sarah's eyes.
  • Francesca seriously is a happy little girl! I was playing around with poses for her but the pics I ended up using were all unposed. She was just having the time of her life chewing on her hand, apparently!
  • I really like how Catherine turned out too, excluding the eye ridges! I wasn't too worried about those, seeing they always smooth out but I aged her up anyway to check. ;) I guess she gets them from Sarah, though I don't remember her having ridges like that. Looking at her toddler pic though, I can kind of see hints of them so maybe she did. Catherine definitely didn't get them from Nick - he had pretty chubby cheeks as a toddler.

  1. Oh my! Catherine is darling!!! I was thinking she favored Nick too, except they eyes. Francesca looks a lot like Justin I agree. She definitely looks like her siblings at this age. Can't wait to see Olivias baby next! That picture of her and the girls is really sweet, I have that pose box but never used it, I didn't think they looked the most natural but lo, Olivia looks perfect!

  2. Aw, both Fancesca and Catherine are just precious! I can't wait for Olivia's baby, to be honest, I'm kind of hoping for another girl- just because Ramona and Jacinta are so cute! :)

  3. Aww, such cuties. Can't wait for the new arrival as well.

  4. Maisie, I really love Catherine as well - we'll see a little bit of her in Caleb and Cara's update, which is the next one. I was pretty certain what Francesca would look like. She'll probably turn out a lot like Aurora, who also looks very much like Justin. Not complaining - she's a pretty girl!

    I didn't think I'd like that pose box as much as I do but it helps to see the poses in a realistic environment, rather than on a black background. Glad you like the pic!

    Thanks for reading!

    coolkat2, I got two little cuties this time, it's true!

    I'm still hoping for a boy for Olivia (with red hair!) but I won't be horribly disappointed if I get a girl. She and Steve do make adorable ones. ;)

    Thanks for reading!

    Apple Valley, me either! And it seems so far away!

    Thanks for reading!

  5. Catherine's a year already? How quite the time flies. I'm surprised at the blonde hair and blue Where did she inherit them from? Francesca has the cutest little smile ever. She just seems like the sweetest thing. Darling girls!

  6. I'm looking forward to Olivia and Steve's newest addition!!
    Such a sweet picture of Olivia and her girls!

    Francesca and Catherine are such cuties!
    I think it's amazing that Nick and Sarah have 3 kids, all with different haircolor!

  7. I'm one of many who are looking forward to Steve and Olivia's baby. Fingers crossed for that red-headed boy, although I'm sure you would be happy with a red-headed girl as well. :D

    Nick and Sarah's family is one of my favorites, with their three kids and siblings. Catherine is just TOO CUTE, and I love her hair! :) Francesca is going to be Sullivan's little ball of sunshine, based on these pictures! :)

  8. Choco, I know, right? It's crazy! Sarah's bio-dad had blonde hair, as did Nick's great-grandmother (who was a founding Sim). Nick's grandfather also had blue eyes and I guess one of Sarah's bio-parents did too. Amazing that these genes can lie dormant for so long and then come out to play!

    I'm really looking forward to playing Francesca and seeing those gorgeous smiles. Love her!

    Thanks for reading!

    Tanja, I love that picture of Olivia and the girls too. I couldn't get Jacinta to turn her head but she's 5. 5-year-olds have terrible attention spans sometimes!

    I was thinking the same thing about Nick and Sarah's kids too. If there was any chance they'd give me a redhead too, that would probably convince me to let them have a fourth (they both want one).

    Thanks for reading!

    Anna, yeah, redheaded girl would be nice. That might soothe the disappointment of not getting a redheaded boy, if the girl at least has red hair!

    I adore Nick and Sarah's family. You'll see them all again in the next update (should be up tomorrow). Catherine is a sweet little addition and she balances out the male-female ratio in that house! And I think Francesca is going to bring a lot of joy to her family, with that smiliness. Love her!

    Thanks for reading!

  9. Awww... aren't they cute! I love this mix of genes. Francesca and Catherine are soooo adorable!

  10. Sandy, four adorable little girls in this update! We'll see if Olivia gives me one more, or if she has a boy this time. ;)

    Thanks for reading!

  11. Awww! Too very adorable little girls! I *heart* Francesca and her smile. Too cute! But I also really like Catherine! Any kid of Nick's is a fav of mine :). I love how all their kids look so different. The pic of Olivia and the girls is very cute, too. I like them a lot.

  12. Danielle, I know, I cannot wait to play with these girls! As I write this, Sarah and Nick's family is coming up soonish, so not too long to go. So fitting that Nick had such adorable kids - he's still one of the cutest toddlers I've ever had.

    Getting excited about expanding Olivia's family soon too! She just hit her third trimester in game, so we're getting closer.

    Thanks for reading!
