UDC YR. 1320

Content Warning; Child Death

Minna had twin baby girls. Luckily, the birth went by with little error and both are alive. We've got little Selma and Zelda Wendlen in the family. There is worry with Selma though because of the fact her head is scarily small compared to her body.

Despite just birthing twins, Minna has found time to herself to return back to the easel in the barns and started painting after long months of not being able to. This piece is still undone, but the more she does, it is beginning to look like she is making a self-portrait. (Which I thought was so cute when I saw the hair color)

Rolf hasn't gotten the bathroom when its free, so he took it upon himself to just shower out in the rain and the pond. Just be glad he went into the more secluded part of their lot to do so, but he's definitely clean for once!

Sadly, baby Selma did not make it. Her head was too small and over the night, Minna found her un-waking. She looked just like her mother, and I think that scared Rolf off because he has been avoiding the house a bit now. Luckily, Zelda is still healthy, she is too little to understand where her sister is, but she definitely knows that she isn't around.

On a foraging expedition, Rolf came across a little foal. He doesn't know why the little horse followed him home, they seem to both have a mutual hatred towards each other. (Seriously, why does every animal hate poor Rolf) Rolf was going to send the girl away and force her back to the wild, but then Minna had seen her, and Minna was not going to let Rolf do that.

Minna was able to convince Rolf to house the foal until she could fully live by herself given the poor foal seems to have an injured back leg. Minna made Rolf promise, and Rolf has a problem of not being able to say no to his wife. While he attempts to work on the foal's leg, the girl kicks him away every time, so it is a bit of a task.

At least the girl seems to like Adelbert, Rolf would have said "absolutely not" if the horse even looked like she might kick at his child. The foal seems to understand enough that Adelbert is three years old only and keeps her distance unless he approaches her.

UDC YR. 1319

I think I figured out why my sims often have more than one babies... I have it set so they can have up to four babies. (and in the first family, I forgot they were supposed to woohoo instead of try for baby) Rolf does less work than Minna, poor girl is going crazy. For some reason, she brought Adelbert outside while she was doing laundry, I think she's been lonely.

Adelbert survived his death roll! He's such a cutie, I love my child. Now that he's a bit older, Rolf has actually been paying attention to him... I mean. At least he's interacting with his kid now. T-T and I love that Minna is able to play with her son, it's so cute.

Episode five thousand of sims glitching into objects! Why is Jacques coming out of my sims stove/chimney, bro's Santa Claus?

Family photoooo. They look so formal and professional, it's crazy.

Adelbert PUT HIMSELF into that chair that was put their just because they own it but dont use it and he's looking at me like I put him in timeout. The family actually all went over to the market table when Minna was tending it, I had to make Rolf go back to work smh. But it was sweet of them.

UDC YR. 1318

For this crop year, we rolled bugs zone! Surprisingly, I didn't actually get bugs until two days in- but we digress. Minna had the baby! His name is Adelbert Wendlen and (at least for now-) is our next heir.

I fucking love when sims get stuck. He went in the water and decided he couldn't walk back over the plants. Anyways, here is the infant Adelbert now that we got to the next day, he's wiggly and so far, really loves sound. He really hates tummy time.

I've decided that their only income will be from selling at the lowest price and trading with Jacques (I don't think I spelt that right but oh well if I didn't) so we've got Minna selling to their next-door neighbour here.

Another instance of my sims going into the damn pond (river in terms of not able to make it expand past lot??) Apollo luckily got out just fine by themselves unlike somebody.

And we've got little Adelbert playing with one of Minna's cooking spoons because why not. He's got these animals wrapped around his fingers already and I love it. (especially because they literally hate Rolf if he tries to talk to them)

UDC update

So! My save file got corrupted! I am so... so happy can't you tell? Anyways, this means I have to start over... I got up to 1317, so for the sake of my own sanity, we are starting at 1318, right after the great famine. So, let's meet the new "cast"

I gave them the biggest lot in chestnut ridge and brother... it took too long to build everything, i don't even know if it was worth it or now gah. (i didn't take pics of the actual house cause... it's meant to look like shit. and we don't need to see that)

So, yeah! That's the beautiful lot. that took way too long. Anyways! Story wise! Minna is already pregnant! (for my own sanity, shut uppp)

Honestly, they've just been doing a lot of hard labour. Nothing too fancy, and I've named their animals after Greek Gods which is always fun! (was totally listening to Epic while building and it kept me somewhat sane)

family portrait~ fun fact, I forgot to put down a chair and then got lazy and didn't put one, so Rolf is in fact doing a wall sit in the air, rip his thighs.

cannot remember if ive posted character sheets of the others, but here are the ones of the new cast

UDC YR. 1315

We hit the Great Famine! Content Warnings ensue.

'The Great Famine of 1315–1317 was the first of a series of large-scale crises that struck Europe early in the 14th century. Most of Europe was affected. Crop failures were not the only problem; cattle disease caused sheep and cattle numbers to fall as much as 80%. The period was marked by extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, and even cannibalism and infanticide. Historians debate the toll, but it is estimated that 10–25% of the population of many cities and towns died.'

The Frost family had to say goodbye to their stock when they couldn't keep up with managing even enough food for themselves. It was hard to let go such a well working food source of eggs, but they wouldn't have gotten anything out of the chickens (or their cow) if they had kept them and let them starve.

The garden lost all of the plants, no longer bearing any harvest that Ruben had to dig them all up from the ground. Food helpings are being cut in half and the kids are becoming short tempered as a result. Lowri in particular has been extremely vocal about her distaste towards pretty much everything at any point that she can. (she got the loud child phase lol)

Philip has been getting sick way too easy ever since but is still doing his best to keep the younger ones entertained and shift their minds away from being hungry. Ben, on the other hand, has been angry and quiet, Ulla has been pushing her worries about him for a while. Ruben says that he just needs some time to himself.

If anything, Ruben has been taking this as a chance to work on new seed bags to lure animals during his hunts. They've become scarcer to find on his runs, but that hasn't let him down just yet. Ulla has been subject to his ramblings on the different pairings of seeds and scents would better attract an animal towards his trap that she has begun to follow him around during the day so she can sleep at night.

Updates for this will probably be even slower compared to UDC updates considering how differently I am going to be updating! This is more story telling updates, hence the new formatting!

Meet the cast !!

Elise and Levi Weldon everybody <3

they are so in love, i’ve never gotten this moodlet and have no idea if it is from a mod or what- but he’s so in love

simself <3 (he/him)

UDC YR. 1314

Philip is thirteen! He is getting super close to the eligible marriage age (15) for the 1300s, that is crazy. I made him shorter for my own sake, but he will slowly be aging up even while a "teen" in sims.

New spousal portrait for the Frost family because I kept forgetting to make it, what's new. They've been spending a lot of time together through winter without actually having much to do and have come to the conclusion that they don't actually have a lot in common (game please) so uhhhh. we love arranged marriages, I guess?

Lowri has become a very sociable girl and even made friends with the daughter of the Orellano's who lives down the street. Their cow, Belle, has been warming up to her as she started to come out and talk to her every morning while her mother would milk Belle.

We have a new family portrait with the kids now that they are older, and honestly, should've waited till now to make it instead smh, but here we are! From left to right: Erilyn (4), Philip (13), Eyra (4), Lowri (7), and Ben (9). Next year is going to be the first crisis to impact my game and I'm so nervous, no food sources for three years,,, yikes.

UDC YR. 1313

Content Warning; Child Death

Huge ass post to make up for not playing in a while and my last two updates being so short lmao.

Poor Eino ended up dying of a mysterious illness (llazyneiph drama roll) and I forgot to take a picture of him as a toddler before he passed. The quadruplets have been dropped to two left, this is stressful guys.

Surprised I didn't even think of doing this earlier, but we got a photo of all the kiddos together! We are ignoring the smell glitch and the hat glitch; I fixed those after way too long of it happening lmao. Plus, a photo of just the girls together!

Both Philip and Ben are really bad at aiming the snowballs... but at least they had fun. I feel like the winter is never going to end, if I have one more blizzard, I am going to LOSE IT. Anyways.

The Frost family reached Christmas and had a lovely turkey meal. (I have nothing to make any other large meal for these holidays, ignore they had turkey for the last big holiday as well.)

The cold leaves little for the family to do work wise, so it is mostly just them trying to get through it and keep the kids entertained enough to prevent grumpy people in the house. They do seem to be faring well in that department at least. Except the fact Ben keeps making jokes about poor Erilyn.

We have new sleeping arrangements given the kids are getting older and starting to need bigger beds! Not sure how I'm going to place the fifth bed not under a top bunk when the two are no longer toddlers because it is already pushed as close as it can to the front door... but we'll deal with that when we get there, yeah?

Character Sheets !!

I need them both, help

Babies,,, My renditions of Ray and Evangeline from The Princess and The Frog !! I'm excited to play with them though hehe, I will post their character sheets whenever I get around to actually making them

UDC YR. 1312

Guess who finally played sims again!! woah!! I forgot to check my google sheets and was supposed to age the quadruplets (i still call them that even though one is dead shh) so ignore that they didn't age up this year...

Winter is kicking their asses and Ulla keeps falling into the snow. Philip gave no shits and I love that. Anyways, already struggling with food with their garden only giving onions at the moment. And they can't hunt or forage right now because it has only been blizzards...

Finally got a photo of the last of Lilith's children... I think it's crazy I haven't done that yet. Ben has been entertaining the little ones a lot too even though Erilyn absolutely hate peek-a-boo... So maybe he is rather bullying them instead of entertaining... I don't know at this point.

Drama photos! Philip literally broke every single thing in the bathroom after bathing and pissing... What the fuck Philip. Ruben was not happy because he had to be the one to repair everything. (I forgot I had the mod where the kids could repair so I could have made him fix the problem he made... oh well.) AND THEIR NEIGHBOR HAS A CRUSH ON RUBEN?? maybe I pursue it and have a scandalous secret relationship... hm... tempting.

Lowri, Eino, and Eyra all got sick (Llazyneiph drama rolls shoutout) and now we wait for a bit to see if they perish from it! I fucking hope not I am going to lose my shit.

(Are we surprised I have a new shader again? No. No we aren't. I'm indecisive.)

UDC YR. 1311

tbh haven't been motivated to play sims or to post lol posts are hard :/ but we got another year done finally!! hopefully i get back into the groove at some point but just know i do not plan to drop the challenge or stop the posts :)

The quads (yes, one of them is dead, they are still quadruplets smh) are quite literal demons. Love them. But they are demons. Poor Ulla gets no sleep (her bar is constantly yellow or red) and most of time, Ruben is too busy with the farm work to help out. It's hectic guys.

They hug a lot if you can't tell, I think Ben and Lowri hug at least five times a day, I'll just see it out of the corner of my eye. We are going to ignore that Ben is crying in the background of the first photo, Lowri broke the dollhouse again.

Speaking of Lowri breaking the dollhouse, she breaks it like once every day and then cries about it right after... ANYWAYS their winter outfits are so adorable, I love it. Counter note. Playing in winter is hell, they're always on the verge of freezing to death, I swear.

Definitely two different feelings about their first blizzard... Ruben was absolutely not having it, but Philip was loving every second of it. Probably has to do with the fact Ruben actually had to take care of the chickens, cows, and bees, and then also take extra time with the garden and Philip was simply out there to play... Yeah..

UDC YR. 1310 (+1309 recap)

Was outta the loop of playing my udc save for a hot minute that I forgot to take screenshots for 1309 when I got back so recap time! All that happened really was that Ruben remarried early 1309! Thats- that is really it. He does get sad about Lilith every now and then but for challenge purposes I need more heir possibilities... I don't wanna loose before gen 2 L

(You are seeing right, I did change my shaders again) These days, Philip has been pretty scared to say the least. He rarely goes to bed himself anymore cause he's scared of monsters and the dark...

Also! I decided to revoke them of their loft and instead made a bedroom for the parents so the babies don't wake the other children. Baby Lowri has been very destructive and so Ben and her are not at likes at the moment...

Fun little family dinner on the first day of winter! Literally, this was the first time they all sat on the same end of the table and the toddlers were both around the table. Perfectly sat down at different sides of the table too! I dunno, it was very satisfying for me lol

And on the last day of 1310... Ulla gave birth... And I swear I am not cheating these, nor do I have any traits to make them more fertile for mulitples... But Ulla had quads! (I am dying) She had Ebba (F), Erilyn (F), Eino (M), and Eyra (M)! I tried to give them more Scandinavian names to match their mother's nationality. Sadly, Ebba was a stillborn but the other three came out healthy!

And since we have passed ten years, heres a look on the family tree! (because its so big, I am no longer having any more kids with gen 0 parents lol I was planning to only have two or one with Ulla-) Ignore the spoilers of the quads surviving infanthood and Ben getting to a child lol, that happens first day of 1311.

UDC YR. 1308

As stated in last post, I played with the Royals except for the last day of 1308, so this is a pretty short update for the Frost Family.

Ruben finally got his kids and brought them all to Saint Grace Church for Lilith's burial. A nun had come over and blessed her grave before they left, ensuring Ruben that she would be in heaven. (lol as an atheist, that is so funny and weird for playing a family that are heavily religious but we rolling along.)

Honestly, the kiddos have been getting along nicely. Lowri has become quite a troublemaker, loving to take things apart and leaving them in a destructed state. And surprise surprise, Ben is loving the action and chaos that it brings. Poor Philip is usually the one who is told to clean it up.

Ruben is slowly coming to terms with the fact he will need to rewed, slowly being okay with it too. (When his new wife has children, does it make his first wife's children no longer allowed to inherit the farm?) The only problem? Actually finding a new wife.

UDC YR. 1308 (ROYAL EDITION)

I mostly played with the royals this year! It won't be very common that I do, but their children aged up and I thought I would check up on them.

Joan: Bea, I just don't know what to do. The entire town seems to hate me, haven't you noticed? Back home in Tartosa, I was well loved, it does not make any sense.

Beatrice: The people are different here, your grace. You know that King Edward is... Well, I mustn't say this if I want to live, if you understand what I am saying.

Joan: No, no, I understand. I just wish that they did not take it out on me. It's tireless behavior.

Jack: Mother, you will never believe it. I think I have fallen in love.

Joan: Jack... This is the third girl this week. It's Tuesday.

Jack: Well, yes, but this is the one this time. And she is actually a royal, so father would approve.

Joan: Your wife is already picked out, Jack...

Jack: Oh. Well then, I think I will fall in love with her when I meet her!

Joan: You've- You've already met her.

Edward: I've been at this for hours, good grief. Is this all of it then?

Luis: That's your first response of action, Your Majesty. There are dozens of others and there are letters from the other kingdoms wondering about which daughter the young prince is getting married to.

Edward: I still haven't done that. I already told Joan that the girl was picked out, has it not been yet?

Luis: No, Your Majesty, you never looked at the letters or the lineup of princesses yet.

Edward: I swear I will have died by the time I finished all of this. I am done for the day, Luis, tell everyone I am not here.

UDC YR. 1307

Content Warning; Death

(ignore the random shader change, i found one that i liked a lot better and even made my game run a lot smoother)

Lowri and Llywelyn Frost are born. Luckily, both are born healthy... unfortunately, Lilith died from the birth. It was sudden, and Lilith was alone when it happened, death seemed to have no remorse for her.

For a few nights, Philip didn't want to sleep alone at all, so he had been sleeping with Ruben and Ben instead of up in the loft. Eventually, he got brave enough to go sleep on his own, but Ruben would be lying if he said he didn't find it just as comforting to have his two sons close by.

With having to pick up on chores around the house quickly, Philip ended up catching an illness from the hay after dealing with the cow. After some nurturing and lots of warm honey milk, one of Lilith's recipe's, Philip quickly overcame his illness much to Ruben's relief. Philip had ended up even dreaming of his mother the first night where she had come to comfort him of his fears.

Lowri and Llywelyn were growing bigger, and Ben has been watching their every move, asking why they did certain things and why they wouldn't answer him when they talked to him. ...He didn't cry when he found out they couldn't talk yet... just trust me bro.

Ruben met with the neighbors to hopefully set up a future arranged marriage between their daughter and Philip. ...Philip got a little distracted instead. He got extremely attracted to both Ithica's... who are married to each other already...

Philip has started to pick up archery when he isn't doing his chores! He isn't the best... Ruben doesn't know the first thing about archery, so he just lets Philip go at it and hope he doesn't get an arrow to the head while gardening.

UDC YR. 1306

Content Warning: Pet and (mentioned) Child Death

The kids have been growing pretty fast now, the twins reaching five this year while Ben turned five months old. Izabella has been taking a bigger liking to the animals then Philip, but they both are frequently outside with their father while he is doing the farm work.

Sadly, another death had struck the family, and their dog, Wolfie had passed from old age. The kids were devastated, and Ruben is stuck grieving his two kids and dog now, trying to keep a calmer demeanor for his kids. Lilith seems to be in flat out denial about talking about any of it.

Instead, Lilith has been doubling down on teaching her kids the basic needs and manners to help them mature. ...Somehow Ruben managed to get struck with lightening twice... Let's just say he was pretty delirious, and Lilith had to strangle him into bed that night.

For the majority of the days, Ruben and Lilith have really just been trying to keep the kids busy now. Lilith has been slowly teaching Izabella to cook while Ruben is itching to take Philip fishing. Lilith is not letting him of course.

Quickly, Ben reached 2 and has taken to the mud and rain by full force. (it is so weird to look at a toddler standing and jumping and call it two- my brother was doing this at two but its still weird lol 😭) He is very curious about everything, and is in his "what's that?" phase much to Lilith's dismay.

UDC YR. 1304-1305

CONTENT WARNING: Infant Death

1304;

Gonna be real, not a lot happened in 1304, it was pretty uneventful. Lilith got to work on the first-Generation Portrait, (which I hope doesn't break down the line... I'll keep the pictures via hardrive and integrate into my game with CC version if it does.) She is still working through her pregnancy, and the baby seems to be doing just fine. Her illnesses went away fairly quickly, so they are hoping that the babies end up birthing just fine.

I did have the family go to the local tavern for May Day, and they ended up being able to see a family of ducks, so that was pretty nice. Ruben's garden is also coming along nicely even though the soil seems to be pretty dry this season.

1305;

The toddlers don't seem to be taking the idea of having more siblings very well... but they're gonna have to get over it since I kinda need a big family to keep at least a hope that all of them don't die. 😭

Baby Ben and Thomas are born early morning. Of course, neither toddler seems to be happy about even still. While Izabella is mostly sad about it, more so about her mother not having time to spend more time with now because of another set of twins (i think she's actually cursed), Philip is outright mad about having more brothers lol.

As if to prove that is not the case to her elder children, she has been reading them bedtime stories every night... It doesn't help that the younger two are constantly waking Philip and Izabella in the middle of the night.

When aging Ben & Thomas, Thomas sadly passed from Sepsis. (I totally forgot to add this…) and I forgot to take a picture of Ben as an infant- So that will be in the next upload lol.

UDC YR. 1303

So. Eventful year. Little happened, but uh. A lot happened. Major trigger warning; there is child death in this.

Poor Wolfie is growing older quickly, the family isn't sure how long he has left but are unsure how to bring it up with the kids because of how attached they are to him despite not having him for long. (Especially Philip with how he seems to never be in a room without Woflie.) Baby boy even made sure Wolfie was alright while Ruben bathed him.

Lilith, Izabella, and their close neighbor Constance got to hang out for a bit while Lilith knitted, mostly just catching up on what they have been up to while Izabella chimed in every now and then about whatever was on her mind of course.

Because of the growing household, and with plans for more children in the future, Ruben finally got enough wood to upgrade their house. Let's just say he was pretty proud of how it turned out.

Lilith found she is pregnant once more, now more than glad that Ruben upgraded the house when he had, their space was getting fairly small to house four at this point anyways. The extra loft was much needed.

Just when the family thought nothing bad could happen, Stuart sadly passed away overnight, just shy of turning two. His lungs had given out and there was no way to stop it. The twins don't really understand death, but they have come to realized that their little brother is not coming back.

It was not a fun way to finish off the year in any way, and Lilith has grown into a state of depression, growing sick with her pregnancy again. Of course, this leaves Ruben stressed out and worried about his wife and children. Even the dog refuses to leave the crib Stuart slept in, not having the energy to get up with his age.

UDC YR. 1302

The year had started wonderful for Lilith in particular, their first baby chick had hatched! They had been struggling to properly incubate the last three eggs but finally had a baby rooster born overnight. Luckily in time too, because the older roost (Kentucky (I DIDNT CHOOSE THE NAME IT WAS SIMS)) is close to growing old.

When Lilith's water had broken, it couldn't have been a worser timing. At first, Ruben was out hunting, but luckily made it home a couple hours into her labor. The twins were both screaming and crying because of the chaos through the entire thing, not really understanding what was going on other than hearing their mother in pain.

Lilith ended up in labor for fifteen hours, far longer than when she had given birth to the twins. But alas, baby Stuart was born, luckily very healthy despite Lilith being a tad on the sicker side during the pregnancy.

A couple months passed, and the kids were quickly growing older. Lately, Izabella has been taking a liking to sounds and is often singing her little heart out while doing just about anything. Philip is a bit of a sensitive one, seeming to cry at every inconvenience. He especially gets upset when Ruben leaves to hunt or fish without him. Little Stuart is a little harder to pinpoint just yet, but he certainly is a handful with hating when being picked up and even refuses to go to sleep half of the time.

(kudos to llazyneiph's drama rolls) While Ruben was out hunting, he ended up finding a dog and even though he had not intended on bringing him home, the dog had ended up following him regardless, and Ruben couldn't seem to rid of it. Of course, the second the twins saw the dog--that they quickly named it Wolfie--they became overly attached so Ruben finally decided to keep the old dog.
