Ari's simmies have beautiful babies.
Some time I matched up two of her simmies: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] although I gave him the piratical name "Jean Lafitte".
They are both in the Pirate career. He's at the top and she's at level 9.
They had a daughter, Svetlana.

When she was a toddler, her dad taught her a nursery rhyme.

Svetlana grew into a little girl. Here she is with mom and dad, and then a closer picture with mom.

She really likes ballet and has all the makings of a bunhead.

She learned at first from mom, but has continued as a teenager.
(The only change I made was to give her a moderately more grownup hairdo.)

She has a teen job in the dance career but will probably choose the Professional Ballerina career by lientebollemeis on MTS2.
"Svetlana Moon" is the perfect name for a prima ballerina!

A close-up of Svetlana, enjoying the seaside. She's going to be an amazing ballerina and, I think, a heartbreaker, too! Mac's Families - Page 5 508493

I had to include this spontaneous picture of Miranda and Jean cuddling on the beach.
They're really proud of their girl, and Ari's simmies do make beautiful babies! wow!

Ari's Simmies really do make beautiful babies. Svetlana Moon (which is indeed a great ballerina name!) is proof of that, as are Alyssa and Jonah's little darlings in my Offspring thread.

Quote :: Did you know that there were actually three verses to the song?

"Baby bop a loolah Yo Ho Ho"
"Baby bop a loolah and a Bottle of Rum"
"Baby bop a loolah Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!"

I did not know that, Mac. Mac's Families - Page 5 99672

Miranda Moon and Brendan (Jean Lafitte) are truly good looking Sims. Mac's Families - Page 5 12612

Svetlana Moon is a lovely teen ballerina.
How could she not be with those fabulous genes? Mac's Families - Page 5 738528

Mac wrote:: I don't have a separate neighborhood for the Offspring Project which means I can't follow offspring through their whole lives all at once; I realize that this does limit the ability to draw deductions. I've gone off to another family now, but next season I'll update with Svetlana as a college gal.

Hey, Captain!
I've PMed you the preferred way to do this, so we can stay true to the rules for posting in our project thread (as outlined [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]). Mac's Families - Page 5 940149

I know it's challenging, but I think the best way to do it is how I suggested to Em.
It's the way I've been posting (like you, I don't have a separate 'hood for the Offspring project).

I'll copy and paste what I shared with Em so others can see it here in case they missed it in her thread:

Em wrote:: We just get so attached and its hard to limit them to just sharing faces when they have so much personality leaping out of the screen.

Sugah wrote:: What I've been doing is sharing the Offspring families' lives in my game antics thread, then directing folks here for pics of just the kiddos in different stages (infant, toddler, child, teen).
You can cross link, if you want, like I've done a time or two, directly between the two sections' threads.
In other words, "Visit here if you'd like to learn more about Raymie & Franco's lives.", etc., etc.
Or "Another baby has arrived for Anaïs & Enrique here." (You get the picture. )

I've left you more instructions in the PM, Mac. Let me know if I can help.
Thank you for participating and for working the Offspring posting kinks out with me.
I appreciate it. Mac's Families - Page 5 344738

I love Ari's pirates, especially Miranda! I remember when Ari first posted her, and she just blew us all away with her awesomeness! laughin

Great to see you here too Ari! Missed you! Mac's Families - Page 5 319331

Oh, I love the close up image of pretty Svetlana Moon on the beach, Mac.
Even with Maxi's eyebrows and no makeup, she is quite the natural beauty! Mac's Families - Page 5 12612

Svetlana turned out to be a perfect blendiing of Miranda and jean! They both have similiar coloring and i think Svetlana looks a bit more like Dad! I love you

I don't know. In some ways she looks like her mom, too (compare the grown-up mom with the teenage Svetlana in the ballet pictures). Whether she looks like Miranda or like Jean she's in a win-win situation! wow!

Subject: Re: Mac's Families Thu Jun 04, 2015 5:21 pm

Yes, I think so too! And like I said-a perfect blending of the two! I love you

Definitely! No doubt about that I love you

A natural beauty, like Sugah said :)

Great picture of Miranda and Jean on the beach!

Somehow I missed the picture of teen Svetlana on the beach before. She's gorgeous. Such a beauty!

Yes, she does look radiant in her simple, but elegant, wedding gown.

I can not wait to see what Georgina looks like when she grows up.

Me, too! Especially since this is an experiment in SP genetics.
I think we shouldn't change those features to keep it honest/real.

Mac, thank you for your kind words and support. It means so much. Mac's Families - Page 5 648375

Mac wrote:: ...but that I can't bear to lose my favorite simmies. What I may just do, though, is age those who are grandparents (are you listening, Sugah???) and just not play them. It is, after all, a bit bizarre for the grandparents to look the same age as the parents.

Sugalicious wrote:: And I'm still considering, very seriously, building a nice retirement home in Tres Lagos, with multiple villas and all the marvelous amenities my old folks could want.
When I play that lot, I will use the aging off cheat, and none of my beloved seniors will ever age any further or pass on.

These two mods may help with this. The Freezer Clock, which I use in my game and love and Individual Aging ON/OFF, which I downloaded a while back but haven't tried yet.

Mac, as always it was a pleasure looking at your sims. Looking forward to seeing more. ThankUforSharing

Continuing the saga of Ulli and Huor from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], here's a pic of Bronwynne as a YA with her mom

And here's a pic of her as an adult
Mac's Families - Page 5 BronwynneAdult_zps8crju2wv

Bronwynne (Knowledge/Scorpio) is headed into a scientific career. Unless she meets Mr. SimRight, though, Ulli and Huor might not be looking forward to grandchildren. verklempt

She's a pretty serious gal, and so far boys haven't been much a part of her life

Age : 60

Maybe Bronwynne is just taking her time and holding out for the right guy. She doesn't look like a woman who will waste her time with a guy just for fun.

Age : 44

I agree with Cher. I'm sure she'll have no trouble finding the right guy when the time is right.

Unintended consequences verklempt

Since I've started posting in the Offspring Project thread, I've found myself subconsciously dividing my simmies into two castes: 1)Those by the creators permitted in this project plus children with both parents among those permitted, and 2) Everyone else

I'm not having preexisting couples in my 'hood procreate unless both are in the first group and I'm being more selective about romantic attachments with those in the first group - tending them to match up with others in the first group.

Simmies I found on TSR or MTS2 or SimTr or Hunter Mac's Families - Page 5 503793

or LoWiSa

or children with a parent in the second group or even NPC's I match up with each other but not with those by the creators permitted in the Offspring Project.

It doesn't have to be that way, Mac!
Continue playing the creative, inventive way you always have, with interesting Sims from all walks of Sim-life hooking up with Sims by many different, talented creators.
If a match between two SP creator's Sims feels right, then go with it and make them a part of your Offspring Project.
Otherwise, there's no reason to change the way you operate as head matchmaker in Mac's 'hood. Mac's Families - Page 5 226245

You can still share ALL of your Sim fams' adventures in either your original game antics thread or, if they are eligible for this project, here.
The most important thing, as we always say, is to just have fun and enjoy yourself. Mac's Families - Page 5 344738

Working on the Offspring Projects has helped me do better organization, like a Legacy.

Yes, I love the hi-jinks, too. Maybe you can do both. I am thinking about making a villain, e-Vahn.

But then we'll need an evil career. Muahaha

Crime and Slacker just wouldn't cut it.

Maybe Tim is using these careers in his HP 'hood. The "Dark Arts" career might be evil enough! Muahaha

The closest we have is Em's Ian Somerhalder. Looking forward to e-Vahn affraid

Looking forward to see how Bronwynne is doing, Mac!

Yes, same here, but I'm having lots of fun.
