Well, I got too far ahead with playing and not enough picture taking... so here's the Kulo Seeri equivalent of an end-of-year newspaper article. Next season's updates will be at least semi-regular. :)
Births
Summer 132 saw a huge baby boom in Kulo Seeri: four pregnancies resulted in the birth of eight babies.
Arafa Herendez and Nathan Gorski welcomed a son, Kelam Herendez, not long after their daughter Sasha became a toddler. Despite being parents twice over, as well as getting constant nagging from the elders, Nathan seems to be in no hurry to settle down. Rumour has it that Arafa has been getting closer to Markal Go... is this why?
Lilac zan-Avei and Anyu zan-Avira are now the parents of triplets, son Kanith and daughters Tsayash and Kamiya. "It was unexpected to say the least", says Lilac, "but it's brought a little joy back into our lives after losing two of our older children."
Zareb zan-Ace and Kim Yoo have also welcomed triplet daughters Cassia, Para and Nenash. Older sister, Prisa Yoo (7) says "They're the sweetest little babies ever!". Her twin brother Anan says "It's impossible to tell which one's Cassia and which one's Nenash."
Claire Ursine, who immigrated from TS3-era Sunset Valley a few years ago, and Shansam Herendez now have a little girl, Renee Ursine. Renee is the first baby with Sena Yuleng's lizard features to be born in over sixty years. "I'm glad I don't have to explain this to the hospital staff!" Claire commented.
Engagements
Shansam and Claire, who have been best friends since Shansam's student days at Sims University, have decided to get married following the birth of their daughter. The wedding is set for Spring 135. Shansam's half-alien son Kuvato (4) says: "Yuck."
Deaths
A rat infestation in Teal Camp brought illness to the village in late spring, 131. Although our healers managed to stop it spreading further, Kifsina and Kitira zan-Avei both died of the disease. Lilac and Anyu wish they could have been there to meet their new siblings.
The tribe also lost its oldest member towards the end of Summer. Casey zan-Ellen died peacefully in his sleep aged 82, leaving behind his wife Li, granddaughter Natabu and great-grandchildren Lily and Gareth. Li says: "He was a very supportive man - he never minded about Hestrie, or Shansam."
Age Transitions
Asken, Tia and Briar zan-Ace's visit to TS4 resulted in the birth of the first ever Nuidya quintuplets. Three boys, Treneskris, Hatiro and Kehansen, and two girls, Katari and Evrezeya, have been driving their parents crazy for an entire year now. The quins celebrated their first birthday towards the end of spring. "They're even more of a handful now!" says Tia.
This summer, 13 year old Zakash Yoo became the first Nuidya in history to sleep through half of her own rite of passage. The ceremony was a very rushed event as a result. Zakash intends to leave Kulo Seeri when she's older, and would like to apply to an interhood university one day.

Next up: Winter 133 and more regular updates!
Wow, a lot happened. You know, it was kind of fun seeing all the events from more of a birds' eye view. So many births! And quintuplets! In a pre-tech society, that would be tough to manage!
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to hear about Kifsina and Kitira's deaths. Seeing their contemporaries burn their remains on the funeral pyre was very sad.
Very funny that Zakash slept through her rite of passage.
And what's up with Renee's "lizard" features? I don't know about this Sena Yuleng.
Tia and Asken are tearing their pixel hair out over those quins, as am I. I try to invite other Sims over to help out but their household is an absolute mess.
DeleteI was sad too about losing two of my teens, I wasn't expecting it to happen before I had a chance to call Serendipity over with some comfort soup. The other four are healthy again now, but Zakash's parents are a little reluctant to let her go to join Teal Camp after all that.
As for Sena Yuleng, she was the founder of Kulo Seeri and the ancestor of most of its current population. She was a lizard alien (with some plantsim features) raised by natives on a tropical island. Renee is Sena's great-great-great-granddaughter.
That is a lot of action, and oh wow on all those babies!!! Lots of busy, exhausted parents in your hood right now!
ReplyDeleteOh no I didn't expect Kifsina and Kitira to die. That's horribly sad especially with their young ages and lives to live.
I know, I hate losing young Sims. In fact I hate losing any Sims, but the two deaths from illness in Teal Camp were horrible. :(
DeleteAt least I have plenty of cute li'l babies to take my mind off it. Busy, exhausted parents doesn't even begin to cover it! I've had sixteen born in the space of two Sim years, so expect things to go all "Happy ACR Fun Time!" in twelve rotations or so. :P
