You say it's your birthday, February 2041


Round 35: February 2041 (Summer)

Patience has reached the final trimester of her pregnancy and now that the kids have gone back to school, she's been spending a lot of time relaxing in the pool at home. 


She and husband Rob will welcome their third child in April.

Stella Lachance is celebrating her first birthday! 


Stella is a very quiet little girl but she's always watching what's going on around her. 


Stella shares her birthday with twin brother, Oscar.




Oscar is a lovely little boy, though just a tad cheekier than his sister!


Our third little one-year-old this month is Wren Novak!




Wren is incredibly playful, just like her parents and siblings. She's also completely incapable of sitting still for any length of time, which should be fun for her teachers a few years down the track!

Comparisons:

Here's Oscar...

here's Stella...


and we have no pics of mother Leslie at this age but here's dad Dominic on his first birthday. 

And here's Wren...


mother Maia...

and father Ethan

Notes:
  • So let's talk genetics! I think it's interesting that Stella and Oscar both inherited one parent's colouring entirely and also favour that same parent facially as well. They both have Leslie's eyes, I think, but Stella is otherwise a clone of Dominic. I think Oscar is pretty much all Leslie. That could be Dominic's mouth but I think Leslie and Dominic's mouths are fairly similar. Anyway, they're adorable!
  • I am so thrilled with Wren! First of all, she's a redhead, which you guys know I love. I'd forgotten she was a redhead until I did the Christmas update with Lia's family and immediately couldn't wait to age her up. I'm using Comburent for her. I don't normally but seeing Maia is a blonde, it makes sense to me that Wren might be more of a strawberry blonde, as opposed to a straight redhead. She's inherited Maia's weird little skinny nose and Ethan's mouth, so she's quite a mix. I can't decide about her eyes. They seem brighter and more open than either Ethan's or Maia's but that could just be the angle. I'm going to guess and say they're Ethan's.
  • Profiles may or may not be up by the time you read this. I'll get to them though and they'll be up soon. :)

  1. To me, it looks like Wren has her mother's eyes.
    The twins are adorable!

    1. I'm leaning towards Wren having Maia's eyes as well. Still have some doubts though as Ethan's eyes are way droopier in that picture than they normally are!

  2. The twins are adorable as heck and I think Wren looks like a good combo of her parents. I kind of like a few weird facial features here and there. :)

    1. I love a little bit of weirdness thrown in every now and then too. It keeps things interesting!

  3. Patience is a really beautiful sim. Everytime I see her, I always admire her hair and her clothes. All of your toddlers aged up nicely. Stella has her dad's nose.And, Wren is a cutie, love the name, and I almost mistaken her for a blonde, but a closer look at her hair, it looks like one of the red colors. She has her mom's nose and dad's lips.

    1. Patience doesn't have quite the wardrobe she had in Sullivan 1.0 but she's slowly getting there again. I love picking out clothes for her. :)

      Stella has Dominic's nose and pretty much everything else. She looks a fair bit like her aunt Audrey as a toddler and Audrey looks very much like Dominic. Audrey is definitely not a clone though, as I actually gender-switched her to see when I was making this new hood!

  4. I love your 'new' toddlers! They are all so cute! Stella and Oscar both resemble another parent, but seeing both parents are pretty goodlooking, I'm sure both Stella and Oscar will turn out pretty great as well!
    I know how much you love redheads, so I'm thrilled with Wren for you :) She's a nice mix of both her parents!

    I hardly can't wait to meet the new baby!

    1. Yeah, I was never too worried about what Stella and Oscar would look like. I love Leslie and Dominic but they are both attractive in a pretty bland way, so I knew the features would mix pretty well. Wren was more of a gamble, because Maia has some unusual features but I really like the way she turned out. :)

  5. So many toddlers! How fun is that! And oh man I am smitten with Stella! What a beauty, and Wren is such an amazing mix of her parents! I was thinking that before I saw the comparison pictures. Oscar is darling too. I was surprised to see comburent in use over here in Sullivan, but I really like it on Wren, very pretty!

    1. It's pretty exciting having a few new toddlers at once! These three will eventually start pre-school with Cole Hamilton, from last month's birthdays. :) I love that they'll all grow up together. And hey, two boys and two girls, so maybe I can marry them off. ;)

      I know, I've only used Comburent on townies before but I really liked when I tried it on Wren! I think I'll start using it on the offspring of blonde and redheaded parents though. Maybe for Patience and Rob's new baby, if it turns out to be another redhead. It would mix it up a bit with Felicity and Patrick both being such definite redheads.

  6. Carla I love how you have her floating in the pool. How did you do that?

    1. That's an in-game interaction that's been around since the base game. Just select the sim you want to float and click on them. The option should pop up.
