Love is a Riddle - Gen 2 Chapter 5

Let's start off the chapter with an alien abduction, shall we?


Kyle is slowly working his way up the cooking skill.

I decided to get them one of these LLAMA teleportation devices so they can travel between places faster. Or at least the elixir consignment shop where Dora sells their paintings. 


Aw, look at the toddlers playing with their imaginary friends! I was so happy they sat down next to each other to play so I could get a picture of all of them.

I am always getting these messages about the gen 1 kids playing chess. Like, every day.

Grrr Kyle! We have plenty of toilets in this house, why ya gotta be our first gen 2 fail?! (-5 points)

And then, if peeing himself wasn't bad enough, he passes out seconds before going to work. >.< (-5 points)

He is just having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

"I see you looking at my dragon, Antioch. You will never play with it again, it's mine now muahahaha!"

Oh Severus and his lady troubles. 

Birthday time! I know, toddlerhood went by fast. Well it seems that way in pictures but really it didn't at all lol. They had their party at the beautiful Jungle Splash

Antioch rolled the Technophobe trait, which is great because now he hates their beds haha.


Bathilda rolled the Kleptomaniac trait, so that should be interesting.


Fred rolled the Adventures trait, which seems in character.


And finally Dolores rolled the Unstable trait, which is also in character! Too bad it might get rid of her grumpy trait.


It took litterally all day to age up the four of them, and then we had a string of fails. Tom passed out (-5 points), Dolores peed herself (-5 points), and Fred also had an accident (-5 points). 


I redid their nursery into a bit of a playroom; hopefully they'll get some use out of this stuff.

Love is a Riddle - Gen 2 Chapter 4

Sorry about that cliffhanger last time! Now you get to meet the babies. First off is Antioch who is Evil and a Light Sleeper. This means he is ineligible for heir, as no evilness is allowed. I am using a random number generator and list of Harry Potter characters to pick their names, if you don't remember. Antioch is one of the Peverell Brothers and the original owner of the Elder Wand. 

The second baby is invisible! Yikes. It is a girl named Bathilda who is also a Light Sleeper as well as a Virtuoso. She is named after Bathilda Bagshot, a historian who was umm... possessed? by Tom's snake Nagini as a trap for Harry. 

The third baby is Fred, who is Disciplined and Eccentric. Well, eccentric is definitely in character seeing as he is named after one half of the Weasley Twins.

Finally we have baby number four...Dolores! She is Artistic and Grumpy (which is also in character), and of course named after the true villain of HP -  Dolores Umbridge. There are people who hate her more than Voldemort I think!

When I saw that out of all the color choices Dolores was the one who was bright pink, this was my reaction. Those familiar with the HP world know that Umbridge was famous for her love of pink! I of course had no idea what color each baby was when I named them, as I did not see them at all until they got home from the hospital. 

Looks like Daddy won't be completely useless!

I own the baby/toddler premium content and it was invaluable when it came to taking care of quadruplets, considering I could only control Dora. I tried to only have two out of the four babies in the swings at one time though so Dora still definitely had her hands full!

Finally we get a look at Bathilda, who is not a berry sim but just regular human people color like her father. I kinda want to disqualify her from heir as well so I can keep the berry going through the generations but I won't. 


I moved one of the super sleepers into the nursery, and even with the increased speed Nymphadora still couldn't get enough sleep.

Grandpa Tom rolling his eyes at poor Fred's cries. I guess some people never change! 

It might seem like he had to be really helpful in order to become best friends with some of the babies, but with his other skill challenges and high charisma he basically instantly becomes BFFs with people. (+5 points)

Dora never had time to get a bite to eat so she used her magic to cast hunger charms on herself. 

This is Antonio, Bellatrix's son as a teenager. I love his pointy ears!

Birthday time already! I'll be honest, I have no idea what anyone else did while they were babies as I was focused on keeping them as happy as possible. Toddlerhood was also a stressful time so I didn't know what the rest of the house was up to during that time either!

Bathilda with mostly Kyle's hair. I got a mod that blends the parents' hair colors so the kids will inherit a mix. Second pic is after makeover.


Fred with enough of Dora's hair color to tell it's purple. I kept his shirt the same since he is a future Gryffindor, after all. 


Dolores with mostly Dora's hair color.


And Antioch with mostly Kyle's hair color. So we have one of each gender with purple hair and one each of brown. I didn't give him a makeover because we don't know what Antioch looked like anyway.

Toddler spam! Aren't they cute? Again I tried to only have two of them in premium content items at any one time. The exception is if one of them was tired I'd put them in the swing to sleep.




A typical day for Nymphadora as the mom of four toddlers. 

Another sim with a name very similar to a Harry Potter character! I love when this happens. Maybe Fred and Georgina can be friends. 

These Riddles love their ghosts it would seem. Not that this relationship will probably last.
