ivy got a slight makeover and also ended up adopting a kitten named Kooper - and she spent her first week trying to get her first promotion in the baking career by uploading videos to simstube. her first video, "baking basics" did super well! she's also taken a liking to actually cooking kooper food. he seems to enjoy it! ‹𝟹

BIOGRAPHY

-Simon is the youngest of the Hawthornes.

-Simon got a good last name at birth that came with privileges and he’s never seen any reason to deny himself the pleasure of using them. Does that mean he comes off as entitled? Maybe, but then again why would he care?

-When the time came to study, Simon could boast about his acceptance to UPenn (and he did) in a finance major. Very determined to make a good life for himself and keep up with the good name he’d been given, he worked hard. Math and all that stuff had always come easy to him. That didn’t mean he worked so hard it prevented him from enjoying the high life of college and fraternity life in an Ivy League school. Oh, that he did. Once again, why would he not?

-With good results, he graduated in the top of his class and was able to get into ESSEC in France for a Master's in Finance Management and Business Law. He spent two years there, enjoying the pleasure of the Parisian lifestyle. If you know him, you will have heard of the “small unknown café in the 4e” where he’s “basically best friends with the owner”, but you wouldn’t understand. Or the long nights on the Champs de Mars, even though he preferred of course the lesser known soirées in the Jardin Tino Rossi. Which you wouldn’t get either. 

-Although he will tell you that he almost stayed in Paris, he came back to Kismet Harbor after a successful internship around six years ago. He quickly got a job as an investment banking analyst at Kismet Harbor Bank and was eventually promoted to associate, and then vice-president. Don’t let the snob party animal fool you, he’s pretty good at his job too.

-A few years ago, he learned that he had an 8 years old daughter, Olivia. While not getting along with the daughter, who he simply had a short fling with when he was 21, he sends her money for Olivia and sometimes sees his daughter. Worried about appearances however, he decided not to tell anyone in his life.

-Maybe that’s just the thing actually. Yes, he’s good at all he does and believe me he’ll let you know about that. Several times. Does that mean he deserves everything he wants? I mean, yeah, of course. But that also means that to be worth anything, he can’t quit, he can’t stop. And if that means ignoring some stuff, pushing some stuff aside? Then so be it. Like his daughter, among other things.

Apparently William changed his mind on the dancing. Also, LOL Hazel... she was having a rough day.

Ivy is still our dancing queen - she’ll be to the third dancing skill level before we know it.

Shall we try the Death Archives thing again?

I think I’ve left it for a sufficient time that we can do this.

Across all known MMBCs, including the abandoned ones, we have 179 contestants who are still alive and competing, 213 who are dead (including one migrating from the first category), 37 with-a-38th-coming who are pending for current projects (ditto the last brackets), and eleven, all mine, who are pending for possible, or probable, future MMBC entries.

The total of confirmed alive and dead is 392; including the current-pending, the total is 429; including the future-pending, it’s 440. Going from the last time I talked about this eight or nine months ago, this is a respective numbers increase of 69 alive and 63 dead, and a complete-total increase of 144.

(McNair contestants are still counted as all alive for this purpose.)

The number of floater deaths - which, for the uninitiated, are deaths of individuals involved in MMBCs that aren’t exactly contestants, such as cohosts or external murderers - has gone up to ten from six. The new ones are Eleanor Voss and Just of Von Aleshire, Seth Diamond of Francis, and Cheyenne Butler of Collins. Without their inclusion, the total dead would be 203.

Discounting the five floater deaths that overlap with this category through their own killings, the number of known murderers across all MMBCs is 23 - a stark leap from the twelve of last time. Of those from completed projects, I believe five of them are still alive: Alice Juster from Hart, Chadrick Waite from Francis, Christiano Verde from Knight, Raina Mukherjee from Von Aleshire, and Tangelo Teahouse from the concluded-but-not-completed Galactic.

There’s a sixth still alive that I explicitly know the identity of... however, that murderer is the one for SoS MM BC, so I’m obviously not gonna tell you who that one is. From now on, when the word “murderers” is used statistically, it will not include this person among them.

Na na na-na na.

Out of all completed MMBCs, Von Aleshire has the most contestant-based survivors, on account of being a double MMBC: Raina, Dominic Windham III, and Aisling Bellamy. (Being a triple, I suspect that Hathorne will either match or exceed this total, but I Could Be Wrong.) As before, Moon-Blackberry and Angelo are the only MMBCs with contestant survivors that are neither winners nor murderers*: indeed, Lyra Maurer remains the only contestant to be eliminated from such a project through the “under -20 relationship” clause.

I’ve honestly lost track of how many of these Sims are supposed to be in Valhalla, and frankly, I am running out of room for them. Ergo, I’ll probably suspend the inclusion of any more of the dead in the active Valhalla StoryProgression circle - with the exception of SoS deaths, of course, plus one or two besides - until Hopelessness and Paranormal are indeed lifted. They are still going to be in Valhalla, don’t get me wrong; they just won’t be interactable in a gameplay sense. I really need to focus on Amelia’s story and that of the existing Valhalla residents right now, so I can be better and improve and be better.

A bewildering SIXTY-FOUR Sims, dead or alive, have names beginning with C, an increase of twenty since last time. Accordingly, C has the highest ratio of murderers to a letter, with five / seven: Caesar Clamato of Camisade, Camille Mist Sparta of Heliotrope, Chadrick, Charlie Fuentes of Chambers, Christiano, and Cheyenne and Cupid Hawthorne as floaters. It also has three winners to it: Cecil Amity of Ferox, Chadrick, and Cordelia Chicory Veil of Collins (who has not yet become Rafferty).

Chadrick Waite is the only Sim currently in the archives to simultaneously straddle the Murderer and Winner categories.

Five of all of the C sims are mine - Carl, Casey-Mae, Castor, Cordelia, Cree.

The letter A ties with C as having the most winners, with three out of its thirty-eight: Aisling, Anemone Shell of Moon-Blackberry, and Annie Kayse of Chambers. It also contains the second most murderers, another three: Amelia Ruth Limerence, Alice, and Asha Malik of Collins.

The letters D, N, P and S each contain two winners; K, L, O, R and V contain one each. N and P also contain two murderers, alongside B and G; E, H, J, M, R, T and V contain one each with floaters.

The B column contains the most ‘pending’ Sims with five, including one of mine; C, E, M, S, and tentatively R have four each. (Tentatively, because one of the Rs, mine, is merely a placeholder name until the MMBC runner I send her to approves of a different one.)

The most common first names in MMBCs, outside of Katherine, are Daisy (Harlow, MacGregor, and Olson), Felicity (Dubose, Harrison and Rose), Poppy (Blaze, Citrus and Reaves), and Scarlet (Caramel Creme, Rancune, and Tides, plus Scarlett Carnelian). The most common surnames, outside of West, are Chanel (Charlotte, Holly, and Shelley), Eklund (Anissa Alea, Mollie, and Racheal), Ivy (Claudia, Esmeralda, and Junpei), and Rose (Baxtor, Candy, and Felicity again). There are of course several names that can be abbreviated into similar ones - five beginning with Alex, for instance - but the above are the most common with that exact spelling.

If we’re going to be technical, the most common surname on the list is a lack of one! Just, Lithodora, Pomona, and Sprite all appear on a solely-first-name basis.

First names that occur two times are Alex on its own, Annalise, Betsy, Callie, Cynthia, Helena, Iris, Joey, Julian, June, Lady, Laurel, Lily, Percy, Scott, Seth (del Bosque and Diamond), and Sylvia.

Last names that occur two times are Arsenic, Butler, del Bosque, Didit, Ebonywood, Flynn, Greenwood, Haynes, Jernigan, Kang, Lust, Maple, McCabe, Rain, Rancune, Romero, Rothschild, Sparks, Stevens, Westwood, Wilcox, Winston, and Zest. The Arsenics, Chanels, del Bosques, Didits, Ebonywoods, Eklunds, Jernigans, Lusts, Rancunes, and Rothschilds are all related to each other to some degree; the Butlers, Flynns, Greenwoods, Haynes, Ivys, Kangs, Maples, McCabes, Rains, Romeros, Roses, Sparks, Stevens, Westwoods, probably Wilcoxes, Winstons, and Zests are not. Confused yet?

The Sim called Independence is still alive.

Faux starvation (guns, cowplants or knives) remains the most frequent death, having appeared thirty-two times across sixteen unique MMBCs - thirty-four if you count Amelia and Laurel. Six are cowplant deaths, fifteen / sixteen are stabbings, one is a decapitation after a botched stabbing, eight involve guns, one is / two are a slit throat... and Edmond’s was Boot to the Head.

Fire appears twenty-four times, across nineteen unique MMBCs. Interestingly, only the Goth MMBC has the death not be caused by the fire directly, but rather specifies that Ladonna died of “smoke inhalation”.

The most common first cause of death in an MMBC is also fire, it having opened nine of them if we count Galactic’s opening double-death gambit as a single instance. The next most common is Blunt Force Trauma, at five times.

Of the known dead murderers, the most common way for them to die is by stabbing or gunshot (this still includes Hortense, despite the differing ghost look).

There have been fifteen double-deaths in MMBCs; only those of Dublin-and-Junior and Alex-and-Dalton have the causes of death differ between the two. Phantom had the most true double-deaths, with two in quick succession: While Hawthorne and Von Aleshire had an equal amount, Cupid and Eleanor Voss were involved in two of the respective double deaths, and they were not contestants, while all of Phantom’s involved contestants. There have still been only two triple deaths in MMBC history.

There are three Sims with unique death causes / ghost colors within the MMBC context: Charlie, Chokecherry, and Whisper. Reef lost his unique color, Mummy’s Curse, to Fae Bricks’ own poisoning.

Blunt Force Trauma and Jellybean now have eighteen deaths between them - though for the latter, Daisy Olson’s death is counted as that despite it either being a starvation or a stabbing. Weird. The next most common deaths are Drowning and Electrocution, at 17 each.

There are currently sixteen completed MMBCs, nine currently still happening as far as I know, three preparing to start, eleven discontinued, and ten that may be happening in the future that I know about / have names for. This is a total of forty-nine* MMBCs at this moment in time.

* = Fifty-one, if you count the two Sims 4-exclusive ones that may or may not still be happening, the one by yoongisims and the one by the one who originally ran Bucket. I don’t know if they’re still happening or will even start or what, so I’m hesitant to count them until there is actually proof of a beginning for either of them.

I’ve entered Sims into thirty of the thirty-nine MMBCs that are currently known about and ‘public’; ten of them are dead. I have three BFTs, two drowning ghosts, a jellybean ghost, two Buried Alive ghosts, a freezing ghost, and a stabbing ghost. I also have a BFT from Chambers, Dub, and a would-be-stabbing from Limerence, Amelia. I don’t know if any of my creations are going to die in SoS yet...

I also have three Sims alive by victory, gorgeous Lyra alive by conventional elimination, five by current circulation, three by their not having started yet, seven (plus Sera’s first iteration) by oblivion, and my eleven pending. That’s nineteen to thirty-one alive to ten dead, depending on how you look at it.

Sera was one of the four mooted Powers contestants to go on to other projects, and of those four, she is the only one to have died. Lichen Hara is still alive in the same project as Sera, Alice Juster was Hart’s killer, and Regina Largo is en route to Baines.

The MMBCs I missed out on entering are Steele, Francis, Mirage (Shipwrecked Passion), Heliotrope, Bucket (Sims 4), and Phantom. Of these six, only Steele and Francis are complete, and the last three all ended prematurely.

I have run two MMBCs in the past, and am in the process of running another one. I also have six projects slated for the future: Roach, Teufel, Jernigan, Pritchett / Celare, Last Chance, and [redacted]. Vidcund has completed four in the past, is running four at once now, and has at least two ‘named’ ones in my archives for the future, though I’m sure he has many more ideas that he hasn’t told you about, and even some she hasn’t even told me. Jack is quickly rising up the ranks of prolific, having run two and about to properly start a third. Eighteen of the known MMBCs - nineteen including Wormwood - have been ‘single attempts at the concept’ so far.

When she wasn’t going to school or practicing magic, Ivy began helping out in her mother’s garden.

Hawthorne PGC is back! Now with Ivy trick-or-treating as a pirate.

[astrognomersims]

[astrognomersims]

Annie took a break from her anti-zombie scheming to hold a birthday party for Ivy, although only two of the older siblings showed up.

[astrognomersims]

Since Ivy was the heir and the other children were mostly grown up, the Hawthornes were able to devote a little more time to her development.

[astrognomersims]

Annie had one more child after Rose moved out: a baby girl named Ivy. This was the first baby born during the day--a positive sign?

[simsconsin]

Ivy is such a good big sister!

Bonus pics of Diego stopping over to help celebrate Ivy aging up and then helping her with her homework (he and Marcus are neck and neck for most active father... Wilson hasn’t stopped over once, but maybe Judith hasn’t let him LOL).
