As I sit here waiting for my newest screenshots to be uploaded, I couldn't help but think that Cleo needs a bit of an introduction.  Cleo Lune is the foundress for my Legacy story who is currently raising 5 young children.

The 'Lune' family is one that I've had for about 7 years.  It started with Rose and Kelita, and slowly Eve Pandora and Jesse were added to the family.  They were roleplay characters that I used frequently.  This is the first time they've been turned into Sims.

When I started the legacy, I knew immediatly that I wanted to use the Lunes, but I couldn't choose which one to use.  Instead of making that choice, I created their mother, Cleo, and set about having a family that closely patterned after the one I created years ago.  The game gave me twins first, which was perfect as Rose and Kelita were twins.  Secondly, the game gave me triplets, which I didn't want.  I split Eve Pandora's name up to name two of them, and had a hard time naming the third. In the original family there was Jesse, but he was a male.  Eventually I settled on the name 'Trey'.  Not sure why.

As the original Lune story went, each sibling had a different father and each had a very different personality.  I came close with the Sims version, as the twins and triplets have different fathers.

Why the obsession with Thornton?  As anyone who reads my legacy knows, Cleo has a slight obsession with Thornton Wolff.  I had originally picked him out because of his black hair, which would guarantee black haired children.  It soon became so much more though, as he started to present a challenge.  Half the time he would allow Cleo to flirt with him, the other half he would push her away.  It was frustrating at times, but the challenge was worth it.  Adding onto his fickle nature was the fact that he had commitment issues and hated children, which just spurred me on.  It wasn't until after Cleo married Connor Frio that Thornton started to never push her away.  How odd.  This, of course, is what led to Cleo's affair and pregnancy with the triplets.

Life in the Lune household with 5 babies/toddlers... Cleo's day is spent entirely with her children.  At any given time, at least one child needs something.  It's exhausting and difficult.  Luckily, she's able to grab a nap when the man gets home from work as he'll take care of the children for a couple hours.  On this side of the computer screen, dealing with that many children is chaotic.  I'm constantly clicking between them to gauge who needs what when, and when is the best time to try to get Cleo's needs back up.
