1.3 Polyamorous Domestic Bliss

After a couple years, Colby and Olivia got married and bought a big house in Oasis Springs with his inheritance from his dad (well, the portion of the inheritance that Brandy didn’t blow through). 

They were living the dream and still spending a lot of time with Annette. One evening Olivia confessed to Colby that she had feelings for Annette. Instead of flipping out he blurted “Let’s all just date each other!” After talking it through, Annette agreed to move into Colby and Olivia’s new house.

This was one of my favorite gameplay periods but sadly I didn’t think to take more screenshots because –in case you didn’t read everything up to this point (rude)– I didn’t actually start writing until later.

They were living in polyamorous bliss when Olivia got pregnant. The trio mutually decided that Annette would be the one to pause her career and raise the new baby Tristan, because Olivia was making the most money at the time.

After a few years Olivia retired from her Botanist career and Annette went back to work. Shortly afterwards Annette got pregnant and popped out baby Trella! It was Olivia’s turn to play mom.

Yes, the women basically raised the others child, weird but that’s how it happened.

The kids were pretty darn cute. Sadly the photo below was hanging in their house when the dreaded black photos bug ruined it. I’m glad I kept the screenshot!

Colby, Olivia, Annette, and the 2 kids were a big and happy household. Nothing too dramatic or wild so far but I must say, the best part was watching all three adults randomly walk up to each other and kiss. Slightly taboo? Yep. But SO wholesome at the same time!

Tristan and Trella had a perfect little childhood, blah blah. Let’s fast forward because child Sims are boring. Yeah I said what I said.

In high school Tristan won prom king. Trella was pretty sad she didn’t win with her high school sweetie Paxton, but what did she expect? She always had her nose in a book, earning straight A’s (must be that bookworm trait).

They grew up and their parents started rockin’ grey hair. I was really getting attached to this love triangle and it was hard watching them age!

So what about Brandy and Geoffrey? Well, they never took the time to be present in their grandkids’ lives and when they died, nobody went to their funeral. The end.

JUST KIDDING!

Here is where we split the story as we follow Tristan and Trella separately. And I’ll tell you that Trella’s story gets interesting!

    How did you get the polyamory to work? Any mod recommendations? I tried to do it in my gen 1 but it didn’t work out.

      It was actually super easy! No mods. You just have to change their sexual preferences in CAS (unchecking all jealous options), then in Live Mode there’s options to “talk about preferences” or something like that. Hope that helps! This period of gameplay was my favorite, like so much love between the 3 of them, ughhh it was the best!

        Ah okay, I was doing that. Sadly because of the cool down in between I couldn’t finish it all in time so Dan got mad. Should’ve stopped being stubborn and fix it in CAS by swapping households.

    I love the picture of the whole family playing in the sprinkler. It’s a really cool camera angle that shows so much joy 😍

    The more, the merrier 😁 Not gonna lie, they look so unbothered and happy with each other, and I love it. Also, those family pictures are amazing 😍

    Not pushing, but I urge you to try and observe kids during their childhood phase. They can be a lot of fun… they just need some interpretation at times 😏😏

    Despite Brandy and Geoffrey not being very present in their kids’ lives, the family still grew up to be wholesome, at least from what I see ❤️

      Ughhh, I seriously STRUGGLE to care about the kids! But Isis did get a little more attention than previous generations. When/if she has kids I’ll make it a point to pay attention to them 😅
