Maritza found out via Dursen that she was having another boy. I assumed twins since both her and Atlas have had fertility treatment.

Dursen missed work to help take care of the first set of twins and his job performance dropped considerably. Thankfully he has the ability to work at home.

Hades has bizarre bleach blonde hair. Hurrah for 10% chance of random genetics. It looks rather odd with everyone else in the family having either black or brown hair.

Maritza gave birth to another set of twin boys: Dionysus and Hephaestus. No weird genetics this time and Ares is finally a teenager and a not particularly attractive one at that.

Traits List
Ares: insane, genius, good, artistic
Hades: loves the outdoors, excitable
Hermes: good, easily impressed
Dionysus: absent-minded, clumsy (ha!)
Hephaestus: neurotic, genius

Atlas\'s girlfriend Maritza finally grew up. Problem is she seemed to completely bypass young adulthood and grew from a teen to an adult. Wtf? And of course she has a lifetime wish of raising 5 kids. Not so hard when you\'re starting out as a young adult. Annoying when the sim is already an adult.

She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, Ares. I\'ve decided Maritza is going to be a stay at home mum. No working for her. She\'ll have those 5 kids even if it destroys me.

Ares was easy to look after. Even when Maritza was pregnant again he was already walking, talking and potty trained with 6 days to go until his birthday.

Jamie just would. Not. Die. 103 days old and I had to have her retire from work after Maritza gave birth to twins to deal with the baby overload. I named the twin boys Hades and Hermes. As you can see my sims have a Greek Mythology theme going for this generation. I also had no room for the twins since I only built the house with one baby room that contains two cribs. Ares was taking up one so I had to buy another which I placed outside. Great care giving there.

Jamie finally kicked the bucket at 109 days old. I was starting to think she\'d never die.

The twins have just grown up and I have 3 toddlers running around. It\'s insane! I can\'t let Atlas spend too much time helping since I want him to progress in his career as fast as possible and Dursen still needs to go to work. Maritza is left alone with 3 toddlers and no babysitter at the moment.

Of course I had to start the legacy challenge.

My legacy founder is Dursen White. Traits: natural cook, bookworm, ambitious, athletic and the family trait of workaholic.

I had Dursen rummage around downtown for meals and go to the library to study. The poor thing was exhausted daily but it was worth it. His dream of being a World Renowned Surgeon was a snap and he\'s currently pulling in $1,010 an hour.

He met his wife, Jamie, at work while she was still at the bottom of the ladder and they\'ve both worked themselves up to the top.

Jamie gave birth to a girl, Jamie (original, I know), so I had to try again for a boy heir. Once Jamie Jr. hit toddler stage I had Jamie pick some apples and try for a boy. Success! Atlas White is born. I randomised Atlas\'s traits and rolled brave and athletic.

Not much else has happened so far. I\'ve just made the legacy home. I was waiting until I had around $150,000-$200,000 to build the entire thing so poor Dursen, Jamie and the kids had to live on the lawn.

Atlas has now hit young adulthood and his full list of traits are: brave, athletic, perfectionist, childish and workaholic. Not bad at all. He\'s at level two of the law enforcement career track and I\'ve just had him marry his childhood sweetheart, Maritza, who has a lifetime wish of raising 5 children from baby to teenager. Ugh. Fun. I guess she won\'t be working at all.

I have decided I very much enjoy my scandalous Jones family and think they deserve some blog time.

Last I posted Melody had given birth to twins Genevieve and Evangeline and Melody\'s mother, Kalliandra, had given birth to a baby girl, Keely.

Damon has grown up and is not doing very much to say the least. I kept checking back and the best he\'d been able to do for himself was land an entry level position in the Science career yet he\'s ambitious and a genius. Story progression. Go figure.

Drazik became an elder and maintained his position as Emporer of Evil. Unfortunately Melody had the good trait and she constantly booed her husband whenever she would see him. Even the maid and babysitter boo him and when he was out gardening the next door neighbours teenager walked past, saw him harvesting tomatoes, screamed and ran back into her house. Lovely.

This caused massive issues in the young marriage. As hard as Drazik tried his younger wife could not get over his malicious ways. You\'d think she\'d consider this before marrying him. Only one thing could be done. I boxed her in and killed her off leaving Drazik to raise the two girls as a single parent. Why choose Drazik? I just liked him more. Melody was boring.

The girls grew up well with Genevieve taking after her father being evil, neurotic, insane, ambitious and hot-headed. Her twin sister Evangeline has a good sense of humour, loves the outdoors, is lucky, an angler and has a green thumb. Her favourite colour is also green.

Genevieve found herself a boyfriend pretty quickly. A local musician named Blaze White. He moved in and they became a couple. Blaze then rejected her for their first woohoo. This was probably a sign.

Genevieve found herself employment in the Science career track while Blaze learned guitar and Evangeline tended to the garden (she has already fulfilled her wish of learning all recipes).

While Genevieve worked Blaze and Evangeline seemed to grow really close really fast and not by my hand. Genevieve would come home after working hard to gain a promotion to find her boyfriend hanging out with her sister. Needless to say, neurotic Gen accused Blaze of cheating on her and then she had some issue with the basin and finally had herself a small fit and felt better.

A woohoo later and Gen was pregnant - unbeknownst to Blaze. She went to work in the morning and Blaze had his first flirting session with Evangeline. She rejected him at first but eventually accepted his advances.

Genevieve changes into her maternity wear as Blaze comes in to tell her it\'s over. She really did not take it well. She also didn\'t take it very well when Blaze went straight over to Evangeline, became her boyfriend then straight away asked her to marry him. The full relationship bar between sisters plummeted and poor Gen was left crying and couldn\'t be in the same room as Blaze ever again.

Next day Blaze and Evangeline had a pool party wedding and Evangeline told her sister she was also pregnant. Now the relationship score was in the red.

Blaze kept wanting to feel Gen\'s tummy but she wasn\'t having a bar of it. She couldn\'t go to work and what\'s worse is she was stuck living with her ex boyfriend and man stealing sister.

The day came when Gen gave birth to a baby girl, Devon, who is a loner that hates the outdoors. She brought her new bundle of joy home and got angry at Blaze for being in the same room as her and the baby. One day later Evangeline gives birth to Blaze\'s son, Napoleon (brave, clumsy).

Blaze is now a hit movie composer so he can provide for both his kids and Gen is also back at work. Evangeline stays home looking after the tots and the garden.

Gen also met her boss, Darryl. Since Gen really needed something to take her mind off Blaze I had her try and flirt with Darryl. Darryl is unlucky, has no sense of humour and is unflirty. He also has a wife. Hmm... Not good. But this didn\'t stop Gen. She got herself a raise and a new boyfriend by days end. I don\'t think I\'ll be letting Gen move out and in with Darryl though. As weird as the living situation is I like the little family unit they have going, even if Gen still can\'t stand Blaze.

So now technically this is the White saga since Evangeline took Blaze\'s last name.

Is it just the fact that the majority of Sims players are casual gamers or are they just too lazy to actually bother discovering anything? \"Where do I buy clothes?\", \"Why can\'t I build a lot?\", \"How do I take the guitar somewhere?\", \"ZOMG, one family per town!!111\". Seriously, just play the game for 5 minutes to work this stuff out. It is not hard at all.

My god, it\'s as if the game were a labyrinth the way they go on.

*pokes blog* Truly, I should update you.

It would be nice if I could add some HTML to this thing. Even Word has more options, and now I\'m complaining like a kid about the game on the forums.

I\'ve noticed the game doesn\'t incorporate every relationship into the family tree. For example:

Kelliandra married Thomas and they had a little girl, Melody. While Kelliandra was pregnant she became involved with Drazik then just after Melody was born she divorced Thomas and married Drazik. I moved Thomas three doors down the street and he came over every so often to see Melody and maintained a good relationship with Kelliandra.

Kelliandra was almost instantly pregnant again to Drazik and she gave birth to a boy, Damon. She also kissed and woohoo\'ed Thomas once when she went over to his house (the drama!).

Drazik had a full relationship bar with Melody from toddler up. Eventually when Melody reached young adult he broke up with Kelliandra and that very same day asked Melody to marry him. She said yes, Kelliandra moved out and guess where I put her? Back with Thomas and they remarried. Newly engaged Melody and Drazik attended the wedding with Damon moving in with Kelliandra and Thomas. Kelliandra became pregnant then I went back to Drazik\'s house, he married Melody and she became pregnant as well. So both mother and daughter were pregnant at the same time.

Kelliandra gave birth to a girl which the game named Keely. A few hours later Melody gave birth to twin girls, Genevieve and Evangeline.

Now here\'s the tricky family tree part:
Melody, Damon and Keely are all siblings.
Damon is Melody and Keely\'s half brother.
Genevieve and Evangeline are Kelliandra\'s grandchildren.
Damon and Keely are Genevieve and Evangeline\'s uncle and aunt.
Damon is also Genevieve and Evangeline\'s half brother.

The game only tells me Damon is a half brother to everyone. But his half sister Melody is also his step mother. Oh, the drama!
