“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting them back together.”

Grayson Hill Townhome-Seperated

I've been "seperating" my rowhomes and townhomes thanks to lot adjuster, so here's a look at Grayson Hill Townhomes

The original townhomes were apartments (http://applevalleydownloads.blogspot.com/2011/02/grayson-hill-brownstone.html) and can be seen closer to the bottom of the screen with the apartment icon, and the seperated units are in the background.

So a few pics, not really much of a description since they are pretty similar to the originals

Sink In, 2013

Havar, fall, 2013
Bradford is 49, Suzanna is 48, Laci is 15, Lilly is 9, Lora is 8 and Lesia is 7

Another school year had started and Suzanna couldn't believe that Laci was seriously considering universities. It was an exciting, yet stressful time. Pierce University was her top choice as she wanted to attend school with her cousin, Veronika, but she was looking at aternatives as she knew that her grades were not as impressive as Veronika's grades. There was still time to increase grades, but Suzanna worried about Laci's graduate studies. How would they be able to afford veterinary school?

Press Charges, 2013

Remar, summer, 2013
Benjamin Endeavor and Rashid Cunningham are 27, Rojo Herendez is 21

Benjamin's summer started off great. He was promoted on the basketball team and the newspapers referred to him as a superstar, he was the face of Man Smell Deodorant and his pay increase and endorsements meant that he could afford a bigger and better place. 

Hood Council Meeting, 2013

Remar, summer, 2013

S'Ahmisa called the meeting to order quickly. "Let's start with the proposal for separated school buildings, Ilila?"

Multiple Births

I use the multiple birth hack in my game and modify it several different ways. I also combine this with the family aspiration reward for increased chance of twins and the cheesecake twins cheat as well.


Fertility Treatments
IVF treatments get increased odds for multiples as follows: 45% single, 30% twins, 15% triplets, 10% quads.

This is what happened with Ilila and Brandon Peterson, they received fertility treatments and their odds for multiples increased and they birthed little Jude and Brooklyn.

Advanced Maternal Age
Advanced maternal age (over 35 years old) get increased multiple odds: 55% single, 30% twins, 10% triplets, 5% quads.

Fiona and Jesse Kent fall into this category (though they also fit into other categories since Fiona and her mother are twins) since Fiona was about 35 when she conceived and gave birth to Jessica and Jennifer.

Generational Multiples-single case
If either parent to be or grandparent is a multiple: 45% single, 35% twins, 15% triplets, 5% quads.

Ray and Lydia birth twins Ari and Ava thanks to this, since Ray's father, Ajani, is a twin.

Generational Multiples-multiple cases
If both parents to be (or grandparents, or any combination of ) are a multiple: 40% single, 40% twins, 10% triplets, 10% quads.

Rebecca and Julio Wilsonoff birthed twins Abel and Amanda due to this. Julio is a twin, while Rebecca's father, Ajani, is also a twin.

Ginger and Grex Grey fall under this one multiple times. Ginger is a twin, her mother Cassandra was a twin, and her father Matthew was a triplet. Grex is also a twin. If these two didn't have any twins, I would be more surprised. But Annie and Bryant were their first and only set of twins.
