Catalina, our youngest girl, is destined to be the next matriarch. But since she's still a kid, we'll give her some time to grow up.
* * *
It's a beautiful day in the Embody household...
Rosemary and Nylah are playing chess... laughing... they haven't got a care in the world...
And then it happens...
Oh, Quinn! How appropriate that you died as you lived: causing grief and surrounded by bassinets.
Her daughters plead for Quinn's life, but the grim reaper doesn't care...
Now everybody's sad...
Buuut not for too long.
The three youngest girls get ready to become teens, starting with Rosemary...
Soon all the girls are in the realm of PreSATs, pimples, and polka-dot skirts.
(Left to right: Esmeralda, Nylah, Rosemary, and Catalina.)
Uh... Catalina, I get it. You're a teen. You're experimenting with your look. But please don't stop on that one.
One quick haircut and outfit change later, Catalina's hanging out with twin Nylah (red dress), feeling a lot more authentic...
Only a few days have elapsed since Quinn's passing when her spirit comes a-haunting...
Quinn takes a moment to mourn... herself...
Pixel's living her 12th or 13th best life...
The sisters seem to be completely over their grief, now, so that's good.
Catalina has the "friend of the world" trait, so she's running around the neighborhood trying to meet and befriend as many people as possible...
She takes Pixel to the vet one day...
While there, she meets this cat...
The cat has a name...
Bartholomew A. Bittlebun, Sr.
And HE HAS A WIKI PAGE, which reads: "Despite being implied to be the father of Bartholomew A. Bittlebun, Jr., they are not actually related."
I'm dying, y'all.
I'm dying, y'all.
After the vet appointment, Catalina heads down the street to visit some of her relatives.
Eight of the OG babies live in this "tree" house... Emma, Norman, Anabelle, Candice.... Siblings of Catalina's great-grandmother, Cierra. They don't age. There's a time vortex. Anyway.
Five seconds into Quinn's visit, this happens...
Norman, nooo!
Don't worry, he's okay!
Still, Catalina decides that maybe she won't go visit any of her great-great aunts and uncles any time soon. It's too traumatizing.
Ghost Quinn makes a return visit to the house....
First she cleans the sink...
Then she breaks it...
So the girls release her spirit for good.
Rosemary and Nylah become young adults...
Rosemary wants to be a master chef. She's a goofball, outgoing, and a klepto.
Nylah wants to be a chief of mischief (like her mom!) She's dastardly, erratic, outgoing, and self-assured.
Nylah picks fights with all the passing Landgrab neighbors...
(Let's face it, they deserve it.)
Catalina continues to try to make friends. She brings this Moaning Myrtle clone home from school one day...
They play chess.
Then it's Catalina's birthday!
A bunch of her siblings attend her party...
Catalina is a friend of the world, gregarious, hotheaded, a goofball, and mean.
Now that she's an adult, Cat decides to reconnect with her father...
And she makes a (ahem) connection with a neighbor, Ty Carr...
A baby is on the way!
It's a...
It's a DEMON CHILD!
Just kidding. It's a girl! Sydney!
Cat wastes absolutely no time trying for baby #2 with next-door neighbor Jesse Quintessential...
Quinn's older siblings Clara and Sonny stop by for a visit....
Sydney becomes a toddler...
Nylah decides to switch from being a mischief-maker to being a musician!
Rosemary is now focused on painting...
Before too long, baby #2 arrives. It's another girl! Catalina names her Frances.
Frances emerges looking like the ghost of a 1916 child...
For reasons unknown, Catalina is marching around the neighborhood in a terrible mood...
Her mood is greatly improved after she has an impromptu barbecue...
Sydney and Frances have a chat...
Catalina hooks up with this guy, Hugo Fahre...
Sydney becomes a kiddo, and plays with dolls by moonlight...
IT'S TWINS! Twin girls! As a twin herself, Catalina is extremely pleased. She names the girls Arielle and Marielle.
Sydney gives Pixel some love...
Aunt Nylah helps Frances age up...
Frances looks... kinda scary...
Arielle and Marielle become toddlers...
Okay, who keeps smashing the doll house?
Rosemary has decided to head out on her own. She's made enough money via her art career to start her own museum, so...
Rosemary originally wanted to be a master chef, but now she wants to be a famous artist.
Now the household consists of Catalina and Nylah, four kids, and a kittycat.
Catalina goes to visit Rosemary's museum, which happens to be a museum where A) People can bring their cats, and B) Stray cats just like to hang out.
So, you know, The Dream.
One of the perks of this place is that the restrooms have self-cleaning litter boxes...
Pixel's into it...
So's this guy...
And this rebel cat...
BARTHOLOMEW!
Yes, please, make yourself comfortable...
Hey, Cierra... how's it going? How old are you now? 200?
It's time for Arielle and Marielle to become kids!
Ta da!
Sydney and Arielle are shooting daggers at Frances...
To alleviate the tension, Catalina buys the girls a slip 'n' slide...
It's a big hit.
Soon Sydney becomes a teen...
Frances follows...
For Quinn, it's back to making babies...
Baby #64 is... A GIRL! Zoey...
Hmmm. This is the 11th girl baby in a row. Is there a glitch?
(Oookay so I hadn't realized/remembered there's a thing in the game where if the Sims listen to certain types of music while pregnant, it can influence the baby's gender. The household stereo was playing Pop music and I didn't notice (I don't usually have the volume on.) Pop music can swing the pendulum toward "female." This probably explains the 11 girls in a row. From now on, it's gender-neutral Classical music for the Embody family.)
Sydney becomes a young adult and gets ready to leave the nest...
Sydney is creative, mean, lazy, and wants to be a master chef.
And now comes the question... who will be Baby #65?
Will it be a boy?
Will it be the 12th girl in a row?
