I think any misspellings should be organic - after all, most of the names so far haven't been misspelled, so it's not like there's a tradition for messing up names. Having a misspelled name is lucky, a sign that the founder of the Enterprise dynasty has given the descendant his favor.

Death has yet to stop stalking the bunker. The loss of her son it to much for Elvira.



He seems quite taken with Krystal. I hope he's not using this as an excuse to come back.



Honestly, I don't know what to say. This is not how I expected this update to start.



Erm, Krystal, are you literally flirting with Death?



Oh god, Death is actually gushing. He just vanishes a bit later and Krystal gives him a little wave.



She then wants to fix the Genepool – does she want to be with her one true love? But no, she fixes it and cleans out the green gunk.



Another tomb is sealed and the watchers installed.


Sunday 5:30pm



Work on the next generation begins.



Tuesday spends a whole two hours ranting and raving about the unfairness of death. Raul seems to have been completely forgotten.



Clinton completes and sells his first picture. Seeing as Krystals last one was worth $1,500, I'm not impressed.



“How can I work with her staring at me like that?”



That's a point, I need to work on his portrait.



Tuesday happily shares a bed with her dead mum.


Monday 8:00am



While having breakfast with his dead father in law. Clinton wonders what the hell kind of family he's married into.



Meanwhile, this is Fred's permanent expression.



The dead are restless today.


6:00pm



Tuesday gets promoted. This is good as our incoming funds have taken a hit so far this week.



This is where real estate comes in.


Tuesday 8:00am



Both the sisters age up, and in all the morning, Fred gets taken away, Apparently I can't look after pets.



Tuesday needs charisma now, so this huge mirror has a use!


Wednesday 3:38pm



I'm not sure if this is some sort of synchronised freak out, or a dance routine.



Oh, Julia's in labour. It's a freak out.



Clinton reacts in a calm and controlled manner.



Bustre is born! Those are not the best of traits for making huge amounts of money.



Lets not ask how the birth went.



Sorry, but a spare is needed. Raul's untimely death has proven this.


11:43pm



Tuesday goes out on a date. Look at how happy she is about this.



Thursday 6:04pm



The long gallery is looking impressive. I plan to go up one side until generation 5, then back down the other for 6-10.



Sorry for the slow updates, the kid has been destroying my free time. We need a name for the spare – and its time to open level 4 of the bunker – what should we put down there?

Yeah, that about captures that "what am I supposed to do with this child" look.

Bunker level 4 needs some sort of hall of monuments to our line's greatest achievements- whatever those might be per generation. Start off with a house model for the Bunker's construction, then a symbol of riches gained through supervillainy- some sort of statuary, probably. Can't think of anything at the moment for later generations.

Seconding this, making Death a family member just seems sensible given how often he's around.

Nah it's totally possible to do, but you need to get his friendship score high enough that you can ask him to move in while he's still on the lot after reaping someone. It's very difficult to do without at least having some very specific reward traits, though, since any relationship with him resets after he leaves. Plus you can't actually marry him either so meh, really.

e: Oh yeah there will definitely be some minor and weird issues here and there but nothing very serious if you were to do this.

Considering the way that townies die at the bunker, all they need to do is throw a party and invite the older townsfolk. That'll keep ol' Grim on the lot long enough for Tuesday to (hopefully) successfully flirt with Death and for him to join the household.

It'll be the party of a lifetime!

On level 4 I add a dance area and a couple of bedrooms. House value is now above $200,000 and that's another point!


Friday 9:17pm



The mutagen is in the genepool again.



Must have a spare!


Sat 8:23pm



Bustre is now a LP time destroying toddler.


Sunday 9:54am



Never change great-auntie Krystal. Stealing candy from a baby.



She then takes him outside, gives him a bottle and waits for exposure to do the rest.



I send a now pregnant mum up to teach him to talk.


Monday 5:17am



Tuesday is now working on her third novel.



Looking good Raul.



Clinton is babysitting an painting, he's now good enough to paint a portrait, and I decide it's not fair that Krystal doesn't have one, even if she's not a bloodline member of the family, and it will net me no points.



He's also set to net 7,500 lifetime points when Julia pops.


5:53pm



It's promotion time!


Tuesday 2:17am



The spare is born, with no good names, I go for a classic.



Looking good!



What's that face for?



Tuesday collects the money from out businesses and reinvests in the Corsican bistro.



She then finishes “Olivia Blend”


Wednesday 5:13am



Krystal's portrait suits her to a tee.



Clinton gets the Extra Creative perk as well, time to bring in the money!



Again, we are in the babies are a lot of work stage.



I send Tuesday out to make friends and interview with a vampire.


Thursday 4:44am



Raul picks up Bustre and begins to float him around the house, not letting anyone get to him. He does put him down before social services are called though!


Friday 8:34pm



Festre becomes a toddler.


Saturday 10:00am



I throw a house party – mainly to try and get more friends for Tuesday.



I'm going to eat you little girl.....



Erm, are you ok?



Not a single soul.


9:00pm



Bustre becomes a child. Not the greatest trait for him there.


And that completes another week. Not much of interest, but young kids are boring and take a lot of work.

Just to let you guys know, I'm having real problems getting the game done now, the load times are long for the Sims, as its a terribly programmed lump of crap, and my kid has been waking early for a few weeks now. meaning by the time the game has loaded, I don't have time to do anything!
I can do WITP, but the load/save times are making this unrealistic. I'm not calling it dead yet, as his sleep patterns can switch randomly like any 18 month olds, but an hour in the morning is not enough when it takes 20 mins to get into the game! (Origin is the second slowest thing to load on my computer, adding 5 mins. for no apparent reason.)
