Sims: December 2014

The first things Venus does are to dismiss servants (NO STRANGERS) and find love.

Venus is a Romance sim so I let her woo-hoo until we either met the right one or she got pregnant.

She will marry twice and have two children.

She will be an ADVENTURER and her husband a WRITER. They will have PERFECT CAREERS.

Well she is pregnant. The 2nd chance rules state she has to have children with 1st husband so I moved in her baby daddy.

Her baby daddy is Jace Rusewicz (the father of her half-sister Jess).

Venus and Jace are the parents of a little boy.

Since he is the 11th generation and this has come full circle, I name him after the founder.

Acton Rendum is reborn.

And a girl!

The 1st set of Rendum twins.

The girl is named Larissa (a combination of Leilani & Jessica)

Venus finally marries Jace

Jace & Venus Rusewicz

The whole family. I need to find a way to dispose of Jace now to make room for a 2nd husband.

In the Contender household, Mari's husband dies of illness.

Porter (Baity) Contender is survived by his wife (Mari), their daughter (Cadri) and his sister (Frances Baity)

Aaron was very upset when Ella married Carlos and is hoping that he can have a shot with her now.

Ella knows that Aaron loves her very much and thinks there may be potential for romance down the line. She is still heartbroken over Carlos' death.

Aaron helps Mari grow up while mommy is working.

She has a very Ottomas look (inherited from grandma Sharla Ottomas Contender)

Ella is taken on a trip through the stars

After her near-death experience, Ella is quicker to put a romantic spin on her relationship with Aaron.

Ella is surprised by Aaron's proposal even though he could not possibly be the father of her expected baby.

He looks nervous.

And now excited :)

Ella delivers another daughter, Venus Rendum.

Venus has the same 'father' as Starlight Newson.

Mari Contender is 5 years old.

Her little sister, Venus, is in the background.

This is not just Ella being dramatic.

She died of an illness (a common occurrence since re-installing Realistic Sickness)

Luckily Aaron saved her life.

If only he knew what she'd been up to to catch such a disease.

Our heir, Venus, celebrates her 13th birthday

Little sister, Eris, turns 5.

A portrait of Ella in the background.

Eris definitely resembles the DeBateau side of her family.

Well, well.

This unplanned pregnancy was NOT part of the plan.

Ella is only permitted 3 children.

Aaron is very understanding since he is absolutely sure this is not his child.

Ella has been working overtime to get to the top of the Show Business career. This is what she has to show for it.

Even the butler seems to disapprove of the tiny bastard.

Its a 4th daughter and her name is Jess.

Yay. All the 'overtime' has paid off.

Ella can now work on her LTW (Captain Hero)

The three girls: Mari, Venus, and Eris.

In the spare household, Ella's father (Ulysses) achieves his LTW

Jess celebrates her 2nd birthday without much pomp.

Her bio dad also discovers her existence and causes trouble filling for custody.

Jess' father, Jace Rusewicz, fills for custody stating that Ella is a workaholic that leaves Jess in the care of a man who is not invested in raising a bastard child and that he himself would give Jess a more fullfilling life.

Ella was busy with a big case that week and couldn't quite make it to the courthouse to defend parenting. Jess lives with Jace now.

Ulysses Rendum 77, survived by his only child (Ella) and his 4 granddaughters (Mari Contender, Venus Rendum, Eris DeBateau, & Jess Rusewicz)

He is also uncle to Ella's daughter, Mari Contender.

Aaron DeBateau has achieved his LTW (max out skills).

He now has a 2nd LTW, something job related so I let him take that job.

He has all his skills though, so he just chills with the girls most of the time.

In the Ottomas house, the heir Destry marries Amanda Inada (daughter of Orren)

They are both descended from Destry & Gala Inada.

Ella Rendum DeBateau's family just before the kids start aging out of the house.

Aaron and Ella in back

Mari Contender, Venus Rendum, Eris DeBateau

Ella reaches the top of a 2nd career (her LTW Captain Hero)

Her 2nd LTW is 6 grandchildren which is easily doable since she has 4 daughters and Venus is guaranteed two kids.

Ella and Aaron are elders and Mari is an adult.

Venus at table.

Mari falls in love with Porter Baity (a distant cousin)

Mari is the only resident of Belladonna Cove to still carry the Contender name so she is the heir of the estate.

She moves into the Contender Compound and greets her grandmother Sharla Ottomas Contender's dogs.

In the Ottomas house, Destry and Amanda welcome a daughter, Carla Ottomas.

They hope for a son to carry on the family name. Destry is the only male Ottomas still living.

The little heir is named Cadri Contender.
