A Whole Lotta Clocks
Somehow I messed up the play schedule already! So the Dingle updates are actually from week 2 as is the last Clock entry. The Gates updates are from week 3, and this update is about week 3 for the Clocks. So, excuse the confusion and get ready for a GIANT update!
Last we left off with the Clocks, their son Max transitioned to a child. He's started school and is getting straight A+'s. He's one smart cookie. He's also cute as a bug and looks just like his daddy, Stephen.
Also in the last update, Stephen and Harmony welcomed a new baby. A girl they named Ella. One fun thing about not being able to play your game for almost a month, is that when you finally boot it up again you can be surprised by how things left off. For instance, I honestly do not remember Harmony being pregnant for a third time last time I played. But here she is, very pregnant with baby number 3...and Ella is still just a baby herself! But it's okay because both Stephen and Harmony are family sims.
Ella had a birthday and became the cutest toddler in the entire world! She really takes after Harmony in her facial structure. Those eyes and cheeks are totally from Harmony. The brown hair and green eyes are obviously from Stephen.
And another burglar! That makes a total of 2 burglaries in Little Hollywick. One more and a spot in the Law Enforcement career opens up. And just to keep track, one more fire would open a spot also. This burglar has an interesting name: Meredith Leenaporn. And she is really very heartless. She stole 3 toys from Max's room right in front of his little eyes. He cried forever after she ran away with his toys. Poor kid.
Harmony finally went into labor and we finally have twins in Little Hollywick! But I was not excited to see that they are both boys. Can you believe it? That makes 5 boys and 1 girl born in town. It seems there's going to be lots of townie women marrying into the hood. But that's okay because they're usually nicer looking than the townie men. Anyhoo, the twins are named Huntley and Oliver. They both have Harmony's skintone complete with freckles and Stephen's brown hair and green eyes. No variation this generation it seems.
As if Ella wasn't cute enough, she grew up into an even cuter kid. She is seriously my favorite sim ever! And she's sweet too. Her favorite hobby is Sports, so she's supposed to be a little tomboy. But as you will see in the next pictures, I'm making her girly since she's the only girl I have in town so far! And awww for matching brother/sister PJs.
Max and Ella got new rooms since they're big kids now. Max gets a space theme because he's very into nature and science while Ella gets a very girlie room. I've been dying to use the castle stuff from FFS, so there ya go.
Birthday time for the twins! I just had to put these pictures in there because Max and Ella are so cute. They're so excited for their little brothers to grow up. Me too!
And here they are! Huntley is in brown and Oliver is in red. Huntley (the oldest twin) looks a lot like Ella which means he takes after their mom, Harmony. And Oliver takes after Stephen, except it appears that he might have escaped the giant nose. We'll have to wait and see. And for the record, Huntley is my second favorite sim of all time!
Ella is such a good big sister. Here she is playing with her little brothers. That activity table gets a lot of use in the Clock household.
Max had a birthday also. He is very handsome, even though he got Stephen's big nose. He is a Knowledge sim who likes girls dressed in formalwear or swimwear, but he hates custom hair-do's. A childhood friend of his named Danielle Pons also grew up into a teenager. They only have 1 bolt together, but they're young still and a little romance is good for a growing boy. Besides she's uniquely pretty in her own way and would bring in black hair and gray eyes to the gene pool!
Max is also the first sim in Little Hollywick to ever be abducted by aliens, although Harvey Dingle has been desperately trying to capture that title. But Max almost has maxed logic and spends all his time out on the telescope, so it was bound to happen. Too bad I don't have a teen-pregnancy hack in my game. He'd make cute alien babies for sure. And despite his horrible faces, he loved every second of his abduction and has a very good memory of the event.
The twins had another birthday and are now utterly adorable children. Huntley and Ella are still my favorites. Oliver is too template-y for me, but he's still cute. Huntley is going to be a ladies' man when he gets bigger. Within one day of being a child, he's already best friends with Max's love interest, Danielle Pons. The Clocks are going to have their hands full with that one!
And Harmony is pregnant once again! I don't usually let my families get this large; two to three kids is usually my limit. But both Stephen and Harmony rolled another want for another baby, and Harmony rolled the "Have 10 Kids" want at the same time! So two out of four of her wants told me she wanted another baby. So they're going to keep having kids until they tell me that they're done. And as long as the kids keep being so cute, I'm okay with it!

Bonus Pics:
I accidentally went over on their playtime because I wasn't paying attention. The newest baby was born on Monday which technically means it happened during Week 4. But since I already took the picture, you get a little spoiler! But I'm not telling you anything more!
I just thought this one was cute because the three youngest kids ran upstairs to witness the birth of their new sibling. It was very adorable.
