After two successful Immortal Dynasties I have decided to have a go at a Townie DecaDynasty. I've selected Union Cove as it is a lovely town and has everything a DecaDynasty could possibly want. Special thanks to Joria and Tom for allowing me to use their sims to start my story and to all the contributors to Union Cove for making such a fantastic venue in which to play.

Nooboo Incoming

Our story begins in the Starr household, where sisters Fanta-C and Delaka-C are each pursuing their path to fame and fortune, Fanta as a musician and Delaka as a writer.

While Delaka is quite content to spend hours at her computer writing the great Simerican novel, Fanta dreams of finding a handsome man with whom to spend her life.

For some inexplicable reason she is drawn across the river and into conversation with one Panther Character.

Fanta tells Panther how her heart has been broken so many times before and that all she wants is to find a nice man to settle down with. It seems Fanta is in luck because Panther dreams of having a house full of children, but alas he has not met Miss Right yet. Our couple is getting on quite nicely...

They talk for hours when Fanta decides to risk everything and make a bold move...

It seems as though Panther isn't objecting to Fanta's romantic overtures, so she decides to go for broke...

'Panther, I know we've only known one another for a few hours, but will you marry me?'

Panther: *squee*

A few hours later and the newly betrothed couple become newly wed as Panther and his trusty dog, Pink, move in with Fanta and Delaka.

Apparently Pink is something of a psychic, or perhaps she knows that Panther dreams of being Surrounded by Family.

Panther and Fanta waste no time...

Oh no! Back away from the kiddy channel, Fanta!

Is that children's music I hear in the background?! For heaven's sake, woman, are you trying to have all five kids at one time?!

Despite her delicate condition, Fanta is already working on befriending NPCs.

Panther has wisely decided to become a work-at-home dad so he can spend time with all the kids he and Fanta plan on having. He has discovered a love of painting that will allow him to provide for his growing family and be around to help with childcare through the hectic nooboo and toddler years.

Oh boy, that face can only mean one thing...NOOBOO INCOMING!

Yay! Another Katluvr story! I was away when you finished the Fae dynasty so I never did get to say congratulations. Anyway, I'm excited to see the nooboo. With those parents they're sure to be adorable.

Sims3Clacla123 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:24:13 PM »

I'm so glad you decided on starting a Deca Dynasty. I really hope it's just as stunningly written as your other stories. I'm rooting for you Kat.

alex51299 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:30:25 PM »

NOO! Not a cliffhanger. Haha just kidding, great start.

Hat Trick

No good can come from a pregnant woman who watches kiddy TV and listens to children's music at the same time. Fortunately someone invented a baby swing that can make all your troubles go away for two hours at a time (as long as no one puts the swing on the 'fast' setting.)

On the bright side, Panther is in heaven. Three bouncing baby boys for him to dote on: William, Charles, and Tyler. Little Will is our heir. He takes after Auntie Delaka as he was born with the loner trait. He picked up the hates the outdoors trait and I suspect he will take after Panther and pursue some artistic calling.

Charlie was the second born. He loves turquoise just like Daddy. He was born good and picked up the friendly trait. It never hurts to be Mr. Personality when your family needs to have so many friends.

Ty rounds out the hat trick. He was born athletic and also picked up the friendly trait. His favorite color is purple and he loves tugging on Mommy's lovely lilac tresses.

This is how Panther and the boys spend their days...

...while Delaka continues to work on her novels and Fanta rustles up more friends. Of course everyone pitches in with the boys when they need feeding, changing, or swinging.

Wait, what's this...

Oh sweet lord, don't tell me you two did it again?! While the boys are still nooboos?! Are you trying to kill me?!

Before the next ~~litter~~...uh nooboo...arrives, it is time for our little princes to celebrate a birthday. With three cakes it's practically a miracle that the house didn't catch on fire.

First Will...

...then Charlie...

...and Ty brings up the rear...although not for long since Mommy insists on watching that dreadful kiddy channel. Note to self...the next time the TV is on the fritz, DO NOT call the repairman!

Will takes after his parents only in as much as he is a little tow-head. Charlie is the spitting image of Panther and Ty shares hair and eye color with Fanta.

Next up, toddler training and another nooboo or two.

Katluvr · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:46:33 PM »

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm actually sitting here afraid to open up my game file because the thought of raising triplets with another nooboo on the way is making me nauseous. But I decided to keep Panther's LTW, so I suppose I should just suck it up and play.

If I survive this I think I will have a few more gray hairs!

judewright · « **Reply #10 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:46:36 PM »

Awww! They're just too cute for words!

Deme · « **Reply #11 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:49:04 PM »

Wow, those are some cute little toddlers. Their eyes are just perfect... But I don't envy you, having your sims pump out more! Hopefully, the next one will be a little singlet.

Sophie98 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2012, 04:18:14 PM »

They are very sweet toddlers! Also, I just realised the pun (if you can call it that) with the names Fanta-C and Delaka-C. Fantasy and Delicacy. I hadn't noticed before because I was pronouncing Delaka like Dell-ak-ka.

ratchie · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2012, 04:26:05 PM »

At least you have the toddler swings that should make life that bit easier for you. Twin nooboos nearly drove me insane.

Rachel

samoht04 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2012, 06:42:17 PM »

I'm sure they'll all be handsome fellows, just like their dad.

Charlie will probbaly be my favourite just because I'll always love Panther's eyes, just can't beat that eye colour for me.

Ricalynn · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2012, 08:07:31 PM »

Wow! They are some adorable nooboos. Congrats and good luck with the new game. And yes while triplets + incoming can be daunting the swing makes it so much better. I can't wait to see the new one(s)!

Gogowars329 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2012, 08:33:32 PM »

Fantastic start to your DecaDynasty Deb! The triplets are so cute!

Double Trouble

When last we left our ever expanding family, the triplets had just celebrated their toddler birthday and Fanta was nearly ready to pop with the next nooboo.

No time like the present to take on toddler training. They say it takes a village to raise a child...well in the case of the Starrs that is absolutely true. Everyone grab a toddler and start teaching!

Oy vey, where have we seen this face before...

Fortunately Panther and Del were too busy with the boys to freak out that Fanta was going to deliver in the foyer. Fanta, being an old pro at this kind of thing, was completely nonplussed. I only hope I managed to drag her away from that blasted TV set long enough to ensure just one nooboo.

And twins it is! Meet Adele and Brady, the newest (and last) members of the family. Addy is a virtuoso and artistic like Mommy while Brady is a genius and friendly.

Fanta and Del spent half their time cooing over the nooboos in their handy, dandy swings.

Chop chop you two - there are toddlers to train and potty chairs to empty!

But there's always enough time for some fun and games...

By the time Addy and Brady were ready to join their brothers in the ranks of toddlerhood, the boys had learned all of their toddler skills. Poor Mom, Dad, and Auntie Del had hardly slept or showered, but they did it. Relieved and exhausted, Panther bought a block table for the kids so he and Fanta could get some rest before round two began.

The two of them also rolled wishes to have more children, but cooler heads prevailed and Panther took a little trip to the hospital for a snip snip.

It's birthday time again! The twins are both spitting images of Fanta with her hair and eyes, just like Ty. Addy's favorite color is gray and Brady's is turquoise (which looks awful with lilac hair, but them's the breaks.)

In case anyone is counting there are now 5 toddlers in the house. Surprisingly Del hasn't had a meltdown. Perhaps her loner trait doesn't apply to nooboos and toddlers. Fanta is taking the whole thing in stride. She doesn't seem too concerned that her career has taken a back seat to motherhood. Panther has racked up nearly enough happiness points for a medium sized tombstone and hopefully he can afford a moodlet manager soon. We're going to need it when there are 5 teens in the house!

Gogowars329 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2012, 12:35:02 AM »

Welcome to the twins! I love that hair colour! It looks so cute on them!

samoht04 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2012, 04:20:48 AM »

Big welcome to the two Adele and Brady! I just remembered I have a picture of Panther as a Toddler - Charlie and he could be twins!

Panther Character - Toddler Picture

Loving the DecaDynasty Kat! It's great and I hope you do well. Just a quick question though, who is going to fulfil the Tombstone? Whoever dies first? I don't know what age the Sisters are though.

Sims3Clacla123 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 12, 2012, 04:31:02 AM »

Welcome Will, Charlie, Ty, Adele and Brady. Poor Adele no sisters , I wonder if she'll be a tomboy.

ArianaJade · « **Reply #21 on:** February 12, 2012, 07:31:18 AM »

I can't wait to see where you take this story. Five kids is a lot, but they're all so cute! I love the picture of the triplets playing with the block table. So adorable. Good luck, and I hope you don't need it!

Awesome Deca-Dynasty! It's great!

Oh my five nooboos in the house! I couldn't handle that. Awesome story I love it.

Birthdays All Around

With 5 toddlers in the house, the adults are pretty well exhausted most of the time.

They can't seem to get everyone on the same sleep schedule, so someone is constantly being awakened from sleep to feed, change, or play with a toddler. Somehow despite the lunacy, Brady and Addy manage to learn their toddler skills. Some kindly stranger took pity on Fanta and Panther and sent each of the twins a doll to keep them occupied.

Something is always breaking or in need of cleaning around the house. Even the maid can't keep up with it, so Auntie Del bites the bullet and hires a butler. He only lasts two days in the Starr household, but it's long enough to become best friends with Fanta.

Just when it seemed the adults were about to break, it was time for the triplets' birthday. They aged up into handsome little men.

The very next morning the boys are off to school...

They're good kids; they do their homework when they get home from school.

They still find time to play. Will favors the costume chest, while Prince Charles holds court at the dining table. Ty loves to play in the sandbox and often drags Charlie out to keep him company.

The boys love their parents and Auntie Del.

What has become of the twins, you ask? A few days after the boys' birthday, it was time for Brady and Addy to join their brothers.

When the kids all go to school, Panther takes a moment to relax in the hot tub, au natural. Lookin' good there big guy!

He's one step closer to completing his LTW. I happy to report he has earned enough happiness points to buy a moodlet manager, and just in time. The boys' teen birthday is fast approaching and he doesn't want to face teenage mood swings unarmed.

Wrapping up the bevy of birthdays...Panther, Fanta and Del all became adults. Will they survive the teen years? Only time will tell.
