9 Sim Lane

Bianca went to the library after school and built approximately a ZILLION skill points, at which point I learned that vampires build skills way faster than humans

One day, Berenice decided to skip school and go fishing. She caught a bunch of goldfish and built a couple skill points!

Charlotte found the drafting table and I still love the animation

Johanna makes a lot of toys on the inventing bench, and I LOVE to watch her play with them. it’s the cutest thing ever and you can’t even hear the noises she makes

Is Charlotte attempting to cheat at chess? Whatever she’s doing with her hands there, I don’t think it’s authorized

Charlotte wanted to train somebody in the athletic skill...Johanna wasn’t as enthused about it

the drafting table animation is so great, okay. I took WAY too many pictures of it

SHE TOOK THE DRILL

JOHANNA’S AWSOME GIANT DRILL

ONLY CHARLOTTE IS ALLOWED TO STEAL THINGS, DAMN IT

Now that the girls are more self-sufficient, it’s time for everybody to make friends! Annabelle reconnected with Argus, Berenice befriended Gator Wolff, and Bianca...stayed home with Vlad the vampire-teddy.

Now it’s Annabelle’s birthday! She aged up in the middle of the night while painting, because I always forget about the YA -> Adult transition

After lots of trial and error and many, many wind-up whales and tin puppies, Johanna finally built her first major invention! She especially likes to play with it while Charlotte’s trying to sleep

I was getting tired of Charlotte and Johanna’s old house, so I built them a new one from a historical floorplan. It’s a little cramped but so far it seems pretty navigable, and they’ve got a great big garage for all Johanna’s inventing stuff

Now that the twins are kids, they can actually play together! Annabelle took them to the beach so they could become friends while she practiced the guitar.

(Look at Bianca’s adorable little baby vampire teeth!  Aaaaah)

Another birthday! (I told you I didn’t take any toddler pictures)

Annabelle couldn’t finish teaching all their skills in time, so both girls got random traits: Berenice rolled Angler and Bianca rolled Cat Person.

Raising twins by yourself on a 5-skill-point artist’s income is not easy and I forgot to take pictures of, like. ALL of the girls’ toddler stage. But I took this one and it’s cute

Pretty soon it was birthday time! Dante even came over for a little while, but left before his daughters finished growing up...

Annabelle can’t afford to move out of her trailer right now, so she had to do some rearranging to accommodate the twins. She’s going to sleep in the living room so the girls can have the bedroom.
