The Outcome of Change

My new Everyday Outfit.

I decided it would be good to keep my hair pulled up in a
different style to keep it out of the way, but keeping it
fashionable. I also added dark red to my hair,
hoping it will transfer to some future Jones babies.
I thought it would be good to change my point of view;
I replaced my Loner trait with Party Animal, since
I would encounter way more people here in Bridgeport
than I ever would in Sunset Valley. I would also have more
opportunities to leave the house here in Bridgeport
to make money for my family.

New Formal Wear.

I pulled my hair back into a large, loose braid,
a suggestion made by Jackie after she saw it in a
magazine.

New Sleep Wear

Athletic Wear.

And Swim Suit. I pulled my hair back into the familiar clip

from home, I figured I might be spending a few

hours in the water than I normally did since

Bridgeport developed the best Hot Tubs ever seen in

the Sims Community.

Sage kept his classic Aviator glasses and changed his

clothes and hair. He added the new Jones red into his

hair to honor his family.

Sarah made the most dramatic change of us all,

donating the majority of her long red and black hair

to Locks of Love. She settled for a short, spiky, cropped
hairstyle that framed her super-model face.

Jackie refused to cut her hair any shorter, but changed

out her blue highlights and tips to red. She matched her

clothes accordingly, kept her navel piercing, and bought

matching bracelets for her and Sarah to wear

as a tribute to their friendship.

The bracelets were black and red pearls laced on

silver wire, suiting the two girls personalities

equally.

My sweet little Seana refused to let us change her out of

her pink dress, but we could convince her to let

her shiny blond hair out of her usual clip.

I remembered when her and her brothers were

born, and how I was so excited to have my

first blond babies, as well as my first

set of multi-gendered triplets.

Kale was eager to ditch his overalls and settle for

a white tee shirt and blue jeans. His hair wasn't

as golden as his sister's, but he was still very

blond, not a trace of my black hair anywhere

on his head.

Riley on the other hand, was as stubborn as Seana

when it came to changing his clothes. He refused to

change out of his white overalls and yellow shirt, so we

kept them on for him. As the boys got older, it was getting

easier to tell them apart both in personality and

looks. Riley had very dark brown in his hair, unlike his

brother, and was more interested in blocks

than in the xylophone, opposite of his brother.

I thought that having 4 toddlers would be easier to have

on the 6 hour drive to Bridgeport, than having a new

born baby, so Apple was aged up. She had a unique

hair color, a mix between my black hair and her father's

blond hair. She had her father's silver-blue eyes

as well as his skin tone, and she was a very beautiful

little toddler.

"Only 30 more minutes until we reach your new house,"

the taxi driver announced to us as we passed a sign that

announced our arrival at Bridgeport.

"Bridgeport City Limit, Welcome

to the City of Mystery!"

"Oh, Mom!" Jackie squealed while reading the sign,

"Do you think they're talking about the Vampire Cult

here in Bridgeport?!" Her eyes lit up in a dreamy

sort of way.

"It very well might be, Jacqueline!" I laughed lightly.

Vampires were nothing to be surprised about here in Bridgeport,

but I would have to get used to the idea that they could be a threat to

my children now that they have gone public with their Cult.

I suspected they had whatever way they got their nutrients

was under control, and that I was grateful for.

We turned a corner around a hill and I couldn't keep

my eyes off of the new house. Jackie giggled with

excitement, Sarah and Sage both gasped at the same time,

and the 4 toddlers "Ohh'd" and "Ahh'd" at the sight

of the completely amazing house.

It's light green walls and tri-colored stonework were

colors I would have never picked in a place like

Sunset Valley, where the houses were all based on

a very neutral, earthy, and warm

color pallet. Our new house, however, was one of a kind.

It looked a little small from the front, I hoped it would

be suitable for my 100 Baby Challenge...

But as I looked to the right, my doubts seemed

to float out lightly into the atmosphere. The new

play yard was completely kid-friendly. The new

Animals Abound playground looked absolutely

adorable and there were plenty of accommodations

for children of all ages.
Our old trampoline sat in the back corner

of the yard and out old fire pit and chairs was set up in the middle

of the yard.

There was a sprinkler for those hot summer days and a

large sandbox filled with toddler toys so the little ones wouldn't

have to be cooped up all day.

"We replanted a garden for you too, Kira, since you

told me that was the main way you made

money for your family." Susie Thompson, my

Real Estate guru, told me on the tour around the lot.

Susie handled everything in the purchasing

and development of my house, from the interior

to the exterior decorating and landscaping.

She was a genius when it came to Sims and

their houses and she knew everything from A to Z about

how to make a Sim feel comfortable in a new place.

The fountain in the entry way.

First floor: There is an office/workout
room and a small bedroom,

A Laundry Room,

and a three car garage with windows into the pool.

Second Floor: My bedroom with a balcony,

and my bathroom,

the kitchen and the dining room,

the nursery,

and a hot tub and infinity pool. We were all so excited to experience

these new things!

The third floor has our family room with a small area for

a Jones family band. There are 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms,

and a play and learning room for the toddlers and children

to improve their skills.

Our beautiful new house tucked into the hills of Bridgeport,

with a forest of trees surrounding it. It was quite serene and

I enjoyed every second on yet another Beautiful Vista.

We had a gorgeous view of the city that we could enjoy in our pool

or out the windows at the back of the house and enough

space to be in privacy.

Preparing for Change

Hey everyone! Thanks for coming back and reading the 100 Baby Challenge after so long! Unfortunately, I lost my 100 Baby Challenge data when my computer was cleaned out. BUT! I have a great way to keep the Sims that you know and love and a new way to keep the 100 Baby Challenge Story going. This is the last chapter I had from my original game, so next time you see Kira and her family, they will be different (but in a good way)! I hope you enjoy, and I'm looking forward to continuing the 100 Baby Challenge!

~Dear Ms. Jones,~

We write this letter to inform you of the request that you made earlier this year.

We are pleased to announce that the new city, Bridgeport, is now

fully developed and bustling with life in all hours

of the day (and night!).

We understand that you are part of the 100 Baby Challenge and

we respect that here in Sunset Valley, but people in Bridgeport

view you as quite a celebrity. To keep you and your family

from being bombarded by paparazzi when you arrive

to your new home, we would suggest changing your style a

little bit, you know, shake it up. Just wait for the buzz

to pass by, and get used to urban life, and then you can

go back to the way you are here in Sunset Valley if that

makes you more comfortable. We would also suggest

your children do a little mixing up too, so they can

get into school without a million questions.

We are sad to see you go, Ms. Jones, but we are enthralled that

you decided to take on this new lifestyle.

~Our best regards and love to you and yours~

The City of Sunset Valley Residents
and City Council Members

The letter tore my heart in two, but fused it together solidly

at the same time. My new house would be ready for

my children and I in Bridgeport; a new, sparkling city

with all of the main attractions and then some. This would

be our last day in Sunset Valley and I announced it to the

children as soon I as could get them into the same room

together and quiet.

All of the children were excited to be taking on the

next step in their life.

"Mom," Sage spoke up once I was done explaining the

packing and transporting process, "Why don't we buy cakes

for Sarah and I, so we can celebrate tonight and

appear in Bridgeport with new, mature eyes?"

"What a philosophical idea, Sage!" I exclaimed joyfully, proud

of my son for thinking out of the box. Sarah

was more than ready to grow up with Sage.

Both Sage and Sarah would be young adults, and Jackie would

remain a teenager. Seana, Kale, and Riley would remain toddlers,

and little Apple would age up once we got settled in Bridgeport.

Later that night, once we had packed everything into 3 extra large moving

trucks, spare a few wall decorations, some extra kid's furniture,

and a table, my two oldest were celebrating their birthdays!

Sarah and Sage smiled and laughed together, growing into the perfect couple.

These were just Sage and Sarah's temporary looks,

strictly for Sunset Valley only. Bridgeport would

see a whole new couple in the midst of their town.

"Kira, I would like to thank you with my whole heart

for letting me into your family and letting me fill

a space that should have been filled by baby number 12

in your house. I know you sacrificed a lot for me, and I

tried to be the best possible role model I could for Jackie

and little Seana. I just hope it was enough." Sarah thanked me

graciously, but it also sounded like an apology.

"Sarah, you are the best thing that Sage could have in his life,

and I am eternally grateful for you. You inspired Jackie to come

out of her routine comfort zone, you protected her, you helped

her make new friends. I don't regret adopting you into my family,

and even though you were not a child from the 100 Baby

Challenge, you were, and still are, a daughter to me."

We hugged for a while, tears of joy making our makeup

smear lightly on our faces. We both didn't mind.

Sage took Sarah outside as I watched through the window.

(Sorry about the lines, I took this in 'Buy Mode' by accident!)

He got down on one knee and said,

"Sarah, we are now Young Adults and we are going to be moving

into an amazing new city. I would like to share all these new

experiences with you... but I want you to be with me as

my wife. Will you marry me?"

Sarah and Sage's wedding was simple, but beautiful.

Jackie was sad that Sarah was taking Sage away from her,

and sad that Sage was taking Sarah away to a penthouse

once we moved to Bridgeport, but both Sage and Sarah talked

to Jackie about the situation and promised her that they would

not be moving far, and they would both always be there

if she needed them. Tonight was our last night in Sunset

Valley, I hope Bridgeport will be just as great for my children

and Sunset Valley was.

After the last things were packed, we paid the movers to take

the furniture to Bridgeport and set up our house according to the

Interior Designer's plans. The house would be a complete

surprise to us, I had only seen the first blueprints.

We all traveled down to the Salon for complete

transformations.
