As you can guess we met a red guy and he was so cute that we decided to keep him. Meet Fuifui. He stole Astrea's heart and never gave it back.


He's also the father of the second set of twins! The eldest Angela...


And her little brother Thomas. Much squealing was involved with getting a redboo.


In typical Grim fashion though, the moment Thomas had gotten his new elemental girlfriend to move in properly and found out she was red... the aliens showed up.


We all knew something was going on but Thomas seemed to constantly deny it.


Though sometimes even he couldn't.


Just meant he had time to get his collection together - I give you the 30 crafted items collection. Shrunk down to fit in a single picture. That's also Kalama's move-in collection up there on the shelves.

So it was an alien.. Surprise.. not a surprise.
Thomas was the first and only Sim to give birth in a hospital just so I could get the birth certificate and bassinet.


She was immediately aged up into an adorable toddler though!


As a child, she played with a Grim toy and got hit in the eye. Not sure whose fault it was.


This image was purely for the LOLs. I noticed that Angela and Reka seemed to be mirroring each other in a weird way. 


And this is the last toddler picture I took because after this I forgot.  Baby Adrasteia and her Daddy were adorable.

What a striking bunch of sims. Can't wait to read their stories as well! I can't believe it never occurred to me that the Star Wars pack would be worth it due to the fun colors and alien features. I just thought, why would I want this? It's too disjointed from the rest of the game. I'll have to pick it up sometime.

How utterly iron that Adrien, the red-wrecker in your Immortal Dynasty would found a Big Dreams Dynasty with so many red sims!
They are a gorgeous bunch and I enjoyed reading the details of how you approached the Big Dreams you chose for them.

That was an amazing speed run!  Both in game time and real life time!
Hats off and congrats on your first (but definitely not the last) induction into The Sims 4 Hall of Fame.
Looking forward to seeing what you plunge into next, my friend!
