Round 1: Stone

If I thought the Bird family was bad, this one made me scared to even return to play my other three families.  As a Romance Sim, River didn’t take long in taking her husband to test out the new bed (and the sofa, and the hot springs at the water hole) using ACR.  Due to both Sim’s being rather messy, the cave was soon a mess and the outside of the house covered in over grown bushes and weeds.  It’s a miracle the garden was regularly weeded, watered, and sprayed.  It was thanks to trait that River miscarried soon after conceiving, I hadn’t even been aware she had been pregnant until then.  After mourning the loss of her first child, she and Dirt didn’t take long to try again.  It was only a day or so after this that the newly pregnant River had to put out a tree that had been set on fire by lightning while her husband slept like the dead back in the cave.  Unfortunately, this pregnancy continue either.  RIver had died of heatstroke during her third trimester and had taken the baby with her, leaving Dirt both traumatized and without an heir to continue the blood line.  Understanding of the trauma he had almost received, Big dropped by uninvited to help console the distraught widower.

The local water hole where cavesims of all ages go to fish and meet other cavesims.

And drops his rod into the pond after catching sight of what must have been a horrifying sight. Let’s hope for his sake it wasn’t his wife.
