Babies Philip and Izabella were born early into the year, completely healthy! Luckily, there were no complications for either the babies or Lilith.
Both Lilith and Ruben are ecstatic to welcome they're children but find it almost bittersweet with how fast they are growing up. The twins quickly grown accustomed to the chickens, even mimicking them when they would crow or cluck, to which would always confuse the chickens and usually scare them off...
It wasn't too long after, maybe a third into the year, when Lilith found out she was pregnant again. Although ready to welcome the new child with open arms just as she did with the twins, she almost feels conflicted about moving a tad too fast. Money was short, and their house was small.
And,,, Ruben had made an almost fatal mistake when trying to repair the fridge. His candle he was using for light ended up getting bumped too close to the wood and caught the whole thing on fire. Luckily, Ruben was able to put it out fairly quickly, though Lilith is still worried about another fire breaking out, moving every candle at least two feet away from the walls.
Although Lilith was none the wiser, (like many other villagers in town,) she met the infamous witch who lives down the street. She had whispered nonsense and somehow repaired the fridge almost instantly right in front of Lilith's eyes. Maybe she was just tired from all the farm work, the twins, and working through another pregnancy, so Lilith simply brushes it off. (as you can tell, i had too much fun giving the townies intense lore. TW: implied death (like the priest having three daughters before having a son, which he was then relieved only to find his son is fatally sick with only so many years to live.))

Starter Heir's Wife:
To start off,,, Ruben and Lilith settled into a farm together shortly after marrying. With the little money from Lilith's father, they were able to buy a cow and two chickens. Their farm (gardening patch) is by no means fully used, but they have a few crops growing already.
(pretending the pregnancy test is grain seeds...)(I ALSO FORGOT TO TAKE OFF HER NAIL POLISH FOR A HOT MINUTE IM SORRYYYY) Within a couple months of living on the farm, Lilith was overjoyed (even though she looks in tears in the photo- I swear she was happy) to find out that she was pregnant!
The move was surprisingly a lot easier than Lilith was fearing it to be (she had a really close relationship with her father, and he ended up passing a month after she moved away-) and she found to enjoy the farm life with Ruben fairly quickly. (Given she grew up a baker's daughter, though they were by no means wealthy.)
Oh. And Vlad decided to show up and feast on Ruben... Erm. It was not planned. (I swear, I tried stopping it T-T he would not leave) So he might be a tad... under the weather? (I have a mod that makes being bitten have a chance of being turned... I don't know what to do if he does turn... sigh.)
It took literally almost until the last three months for Lilith and Ruben to be able to make anything other than gruel... Lilith was pretty proud of herself (and relieved to eat something other than gruel) when they finally had the ingredients to make porridge. Of course,,, not a first choice either,,, but it was better than gruel!
Meet the Royal Family!

The Lady In Waiting (Queen's Right Hand):
The Grand Master:
I fear that Nicolas is becoming a mortal enemy of mine right now... Fussy, AND doesn't like being held? AND A LIGHT SLEEPER? Both him and Thalia are light sleepers and both wake up at different times of the night, poor Charity and Leviathon don't get much sleep these days.
WHICH IS WHY I WAS SHOCKED WHEN CHARITY CAME UP AND ASKED THIS WHEN LEVI WAS TRYING TO PUT THE KIDS TO BED. Obviously I said yes because I love the drama, and if she wants kids and is asking, why not. Levi has already been autonomously thinking about baby bottles and everything.
This pandasama drawing toy is really cute, and both Thalia and Nicolas have been taking turns drawing, filling their walls with just pure chaos of crayon and paper. Thalia is also the only one who wears shoes in the house and is constantly playful because of it, and the fact she wears mismatched shoes seems so perfect about the whole dynamic.
And lastly, both Thalia and Nicolas had their first naps since aging into toddlers since they've never really been tired during the days before, but they both went and napped on the sofa, and I thought that was adorable.
My Gshade broke and I don't know how to fix it, it just keeps crashing my game when I open it so sadly I had to get rid of it... Reshade has always does the same thing gshade is doing now so rip. Along with losing my gshade, I lost all my game files... (never letting a sibling on my pc again smh) So the von Haunts are in a new house again. I also did have to make the twins from scratch in CAS so they might look a bit different, sorry.
PSA, Nicolas does not like the jack in the box. It was a pretty cute animation though. I'm thinking of taking the kiddos to the water park before winter hits, it's early stages of fall so it is still warm out.
And little Thalia is an actual menace. She tears up the kitchen at least once a day, much to her father's dismay. She refuses to wear her clothes sometimes, running around the house like a madman. She's definitely a handful. (Not that Nico isn't as well...)
That's it for this update. :) I might not play for a bit; I'm getting bored of like everything at the moment. So. We shall see.

I would have kept them infants longer, but having twins is so indescribably stressful especially when their father is FAILING HIS COLLEGE COURSES CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING THE KIDS. sigh. I'd rather him fail college than be a neglectful father though.
Sock is the kitty, I don't take enough photos of him, but Levi and Charity got him when they first started dating. He's a grumpy man. Shae is also in this photo; I might start making posts about her and her own daughter as well. 👀 anyways not much happened between this update and the last, I was busy setting up my rainbow legacy house asldnfldsaknff
A little updateeeeeeee (look at these two cuties T-T (i'm lonely so my sims are usually not))
ANYWAYS. Thalia and Nicolas are getting so big now, they both can eat harder foods rather than only soft foods and are starting to pull themselves up on the sofa's and armchairs.
The house was getting too small, and it was stressful trying to get the kiddos to bed and then not wake them in the morning, so we are saying goodbye to the trailer Charity and Levi bought together in the beginning of Levi's college courses. :(
I will say though, the new nursery (as if they even had one before-) is a lot cuter. I'm really glad they had the money in the first place to be able to afford this starter family home.
von Dough Family 1.1
its been CRAZY y’all I cannot. Charity is barely home because shes working all the time and they still have NO MONEY ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Levi just finished his 8/12 classes, and Charity had to completely rearrange her garden during her day off.
this has to be my favorite picture of Charity and Thalia though, like that is so sweetttt. Charity watching Thalia while Levi is bathing Nicolas and they both passed out.
The house has been getting pretty messy, but they’re doing surprisingly well! The kiddos age up in four days and they’ve already got a birthday party planned with three close friends attending.
their first every day outfits shown above. (i made multiple cause there were so many cute ones)
So... I got surprised with a pregnancy AND double of it...
They live in a one bedroom trailer... HOW ARE THEY GONNA AFFORD THIS? ONE IS IN COLLEGE, AND THE OTHER IS A GARDENER?
though it was a really sweet journey. Neither were ready, but eventually got really excited about the whole thing.
So we have a little set up of Charity starting to sell things from her garden and watch the babies while Levi goes to university, and Levi watching the babies while Charity works.
Anyhow, meet babies Thalia and Nicolas!! <3 (I was really rooting for Levi's suggestion of Thalia and Toren, but Charity was not having it LOL (part of lumpinou's RPO mod))

Working on a save file for Willow Creek for the Ultimate Decades Challenge (1300s edition) by MorbidGamer!!
Serfs: serf was a peasant who was bound to a lord's land and was required to perform labor for the lord. Serfs were at the bottom of the social order and were treated similarly to slaves, but they could not be bought or sold. Serfs were given land for their family's needs, but they also worked on the lord's land, especially during busy times like harvest.
Fief: A fief was a piece of land granted to a lord's vassal in exchange for their service to the lord. The vassal would promise to fight for the lord and the lord would promise to protect the vassal. The vassal would oversee the serfs who worked the land.
I will update as I go along since I will be building everything myself for this challenge (i hate myself and am taking the hard route) and making original townies to give the full immersion of the challenge!
The willow creek map replacement shown in the screenshot is by MissChipsa and is completely free!!
(i gave up on finishing it for my udc playthrough, but im slowly working on it still since im probably gonna run the challenge again (i already love it im a history nerd in this sense))
