...Eight kids? Rosalie has EIGHT KIDS? I know she was planning this from the start, but that is way too many kids to deal with! Did you plan on Shirley having only one or have she and Walter just been unsuccessful when trying? Can't wait to actually meet the kids, cause I gotta admit, other than Steven, I'm still pretty lost on who's who.

[silverbelle1220]

Yes, Rosalie has eight kids. That's what I get for letting ACR pick the number of kids the "regular" families get. Her house is a zoo; I'm grateful that the older ones are kids now at least and can do some things. Shirley and Walter don't seem to have luck with ACR, and one kid is all I've gotten out of them so far. I may force the issue, or I may have them adopt; I'm not sure yet. Heh. I need a cheat sheet with this generation. I know I wanted a baby boom but so many kids gives me headaches.

Goodness, Rosalie has been busy. :P Maybe Shirley and Walter should adopt.

[silverbelle1220]

She sure has been. I may have Walter & Shirley adopt, if things continue as it has.

EIGHT?! On her OWN?! Okay, I am fascinated how those kids turn out. And I'm kind of imagining that with that many (and only a year between each of them?) they haven't come to the park because their mother has just about successfully kept them in one place by locking them all in the house and is now sat crying because she can't control them all >.> Or maybe that's just me in her position.
Also poor Shirley. Still, at least they have Dwight if nothing else (and hopefully he won't get killed in a war >.>)

[silverbelle1220]

Yes, eight. On her own. Granted, there are two sets of twins thrown in for good measure, but yes. I imagine that you're right about why she hasn't taken them to the park, or she's just too ashamed to show that she can't handle it so she keeps them at home.

Yeah, for not being a family sim at all Shirley's pretty upset about not having a bigger family. I hope ACR is kinder to them in the future.

It was nice seeing some of the friendship between these two, and why am I not surprised Rosalie is outdoing everyone? Shirley's responses make me smile, although I hope she isn't too upset.

[silverbelle1220]

I like showing the friendship between these two, as they're very different but they balance each other out well. Yeah, Rosalie is out for quantity when it comes to kids for sure. Shirley's more upset than she lets on, and uses her humor to deflect. Dwight won't be an only child, though I don't know if it will be a biological sibling or an adopted one.

Rosalie wants all the babies! Then all of the Grand children! Cute story!

And adding in that adoption would be awesome for Shirley and Walter.

[silverbelle1220]

Yup. Rosalie wants far too many kids than what's good for her. And then she'll expect a passel of grandkids too. Family Sims.

I'm really thinking I might go the adoption route with Walter and Shirley...the more I think about it, the more I realize it suits them.
