We finally reached the last household for this rotation! Last week, Laurie got engaged to Josiah Crimson. It was a pretty bad idea, considering she’s a Family/Romance Sim with the LTW to WooHoo 20 different Sims. Josiah caught her while she was working on that LTW with another dormie and they broke up, so after she graduated Laurie had to find a new home all by herself.
There she was, in front of her new house. It has been used before in this challenge so you might recognize it as the very first Dorrestein home - which is fitting, as it’s the home where Laurie’s father Simon had been born!
I checked Laurie’s family tree and she currently has a whopping 9 half-siblings!
The first one to walk by was Josiah, her ex-fiancé. He still seemed to like her a lot - dude, you have a family now!
Family or not, they still had three bolts so ACR didn’t waste a second. Too bad this doesn’t count for her LTW, as they already WooHoo’d before.
Right when they were done, the welcome wagon arrived: Tyler Peerik, Brandon van der Storm and Cecily Lillig.
They chatted for a bit, but she soon sent them away as she had a LTW to work on. I was planning on finishing it as soon as possible, so she could settle down and have a family soon. She’s still a Family Sim, after all. She invited one of her townie friends over.
3 down, 17 to go!
That same night, she invited another friend, as I knew it would be easy to get them to WooHoo if they were already best friends. I decided not to worry about their existing relationships and just get to that 20 as soon as possible.
4 down, 16 to go. Thanks, Jolie.
The next morning, while she was just inviting the very pregnant Tracy Lillig to get her fifth WooHoo, Laurie... turned out to be pregnant herself? Wait what?! Her hairstyle changed while popping, too.
Let’s just say there was a lot of pregnant WooHoo going on. Though I’m still confused, there was literally no sign whatsoever that Laurie would be pregnant. 5 down, 15 to go.
Another day, another lover. 6/20 is a townie called Herman.
She woke up from her afternoon nap for her second pop.
That night, she had another townie over. His name is Martijn and he became WooHoo #7.
It’s time for a WooHoo break, because Laurie goes into labour.
Yes. Of course it’s twins. Just my luck.
It’s two boys: Atlas on the left, and Odin on the right. Their dad is either Josiah or her townie lover Armando. I don’t think it’s any fun to check the family tree, so I hope it becomes clear when they grow up. For now, my bet is Josiah, because of their coloring.
I quickly furnished a double nursery.
Right when she had given birth to the babies, Laurie made a phone call to befriend her next victim.
With two babies, Laurie really couldn’t afford to live off her savings account anymore. She found a job in Law, level 2.
She might even meet some potential lovers at work.
The nanny was terrible at her job, but Laurie really needed the money and couldn’t afford to be a stay-at-home mom.
Damnit, Laurie. She got a bad chance card so is back at level 1, and brought home her uncle - so no WooHoo material.
Tyler might be her next victim.
I didn’t expect him to cheat on Daphne so easily. 8 down, 12 to go.
The next day, Laurie miscarried. I didn’t even know she was pregnant. It’s probably for the best that she won’t have another baby right now, as two is busy enough and it must’ve been Tyler’s, and I really don’t want Tyler and Daphne’s relation to get messed up.
Birthday time for the twins! I wonder if it will become clear who their dad is. Atlas goes first.
I’m not sure yet; I think he just looks a lot like his mom. Atlas is incredibly active, very neat and outgoing, but quite mean too.
His happy little brother goes next. I wonder what Odin will look like.
Odin kind of resembles Josiah, or is it just me? He is incredibly neat and active, and also quite outgoing.
Laurie had one more friend to WooHoo before she needed to make new friends. 9/20.
The lack of sleep with two toddlers, combined with her WooHoo’ing and finding new lovers every spare moment, were really wearing Laurie out. Luckily, by the end of the rotation, she was almost halfway through her LTW.
