#vatzoc strongarm

Meanwhile at the Strongarm lot family dog Koh Oug meets a nice stranger named Rascal.

And Julien Cooke visits Tema. They continue their relationship where they left off last week and soon Tema is in love.

Tema adopts Rascal while Julien gets aquainted with Tema's kids.

The Strongarms spend their week socializing with the neighbours. Cled takes care of the gardening and fishing and Tema hunts. Tema is soon pregnant and gives birth to twin boys they name Vac and Vatzoc. They all sleep together in a yurt so the parents do not get much rest but they make it through this rotation fine.

The fourth round with the Strongarm household starts with babies! Tema gives birth to a daughter named Egla and Koh Oug has four puppies. The female puppy gets the name Mazzi. The boys are named Chebnar, Snobek and Uuzo.

The next day Tema and Julien go on a date because Tema has a want. It ends in a dream date and Tema gets pregnant again.

Snobek and Mazzi get into a fight. Apparantly the puppies have grown up!

And here they are: Chebnar, Mazzi, Snobek and Uuzo. I Especially like how Snobek has turned out.

Julien has a want to marry Tema. I'm having an issue where the propose interaction is not showing up and I don't feel like tracking down the cause now. Just before this round I've taken time to resolve some other problems and I don't want to do it again. So I bought a hacked wedding arch and hid it in this arched rock, I really like how it turned out, with just the heart showing.

Before Julien and Tema can get married, Egla grows up to a toddler.

Snobek and Uuzo get into a fight and ghost Cled shows up for a visit, he doesn't bother anyone though.

Vac becomes master of Mazzi but before I can take a picture Vatzoc comes to give him a hug. Still a cute picture.

The lightning causes a fire on the lot. Everyone runs over in a panic, even walkby Andrea Hogan.

Right after the fire Chebnar runs away from home.

Snobek picks a fight with Koh. He keeps getting into fights with the other dogs. I think they'll need to find a different home for him in the next round.

By the end of the round Tema's pregnancy is showing. We'll see the baby next time.

Back to the Strongarm lot. After being kicked out of the cave by Sala, Julien Cooke goes to his lover Tema Strongarm to see if he can stay with her. She agrees and Julien moves in.

The next day Vac and Vatzoc both grow up to children.

And the rest of the round everything seems well. Julien is starting to build a friendship with Vac and Vatzoc and the dogs like him well enough. But the kids still get very upset when he kisses their mother. They all need some time to adjust to the new situation.

On the first evening of the Strongarm family's round the twins Vac and Vatzoc are ready to age up.

Since Tema is a low motivation sim and Cled is an average motivation sim he does the teaching in this household, although only if he or one of his sons has a want to learn.

The family got a dog at the start of this round because I was testing some pets related items and the toddlers love her.

Tema and Cled go on a much deserved date to keep their relationship and their aspirations strong.

Cled has the unlucky trait and he's certainly unlucky this time. First he gets flu from some roaches... And the next day he is struck by a meteorite and dies while his family is sleeping.

After Cled's death Tema has to do everything on her own. She tries to comfort the twins as best she can and starts fishing and gardening to make sure they can all stay fed.

There are now two single parent households in this neighbourhood. Maybe some new combinations can develop in the future?

Before I start round 5 in my Test of Time challenge neighbourhood I took some family pictures!

The new Ramaswami - Cooke family. Sanjay and Sala Ramaswami and their combined sets of kids. Kherv and Torv Cooke, Abhishek Ramaswami, Nundat Cooke, toddlers Latta Cooke and Deep Ramaswami. Deep is the first child of this new couple together.

Taba and Crall Maina and their gang of kids. Abimbola, Bonolo, Farai, Bontu, Fadzai, Ime and toddler Ayodele.

The biggest family in the neighbourhood at this point: The Parviflorums. Mom Ardisia is holding Alternanthera and dad Conopholis has Silphinum in his arms. Bumelia is standing on the rock and Helictotrichor is holding his little sister Dandranthema. On the ground are toddlers Poncirus and Tiarella and child Linum. And Disporum is on the right looking up at the sky thinking is this photoshoot done yet?

The Picaso family consists of Matthew and Jessica Picaso, newborn Mondi, children Gaba and Bran and toddler Dob.

The other newly combined family! Julien Cooke married widow Tema Strongarm (now Cooke). Kids Vac and Vatzoc were born before their dad Cled Strongarm died and their little sister Egla was born to Tema and Julien.

Dog Chebnar has run away and is not in this picture but his siblings and parents are: Snobek, Mazzi, Koh, Rascal and Uuzo.

And last but not least are the Travellers who moved in for Round 4. Since Priya Ramaswami and Cled Strongarm died and their households combined with the former Cooke household a lot became empty and I thought Trisha and Trent Traveller and their child aged daughter Tina would fit in well. In round 4 baby boy Tarek was born, but they are still the smallest family in this neighbourhood.

(I retook their picture because Tarek is clipping into his mom's arm but Trisha would not make that happy face at him again so I still preferred this version despite the clipping.)
