2. In true, color-clashing form (seriously… my eyes…) Zero and Beth are still ridiculously in love.
Considering they got married the day after they met and have 10 children I‟d say they‟re doing pretty freaking good, wouldn‟t you?
A lot has happened since I last posted an Account of these Numbersons. Indeed, if I recall correctly, when we left off last time, Hitotsu and Ichi
were newborns.
Yes?
Oh, you probably don‟t remember them…since they have 8 older siblings who all look pretty much alike… WELL THEN.
3. This is the last group shot I have of our wonderful family which, though outdated, is the only one where everyone is both without diapers and
without grey hair. As you may have guessed, I played very, very far ahead. This is for fun, after all, and to be honest I don‟t think you NEED me
to *observe* 10 children going through toddler skills and acne cream. (Also, with 12 sims and 4 cats in the house I was slightly too busy to take
many pictures anyway…ahem.) Basically the plan for this update is to catch you all up on what‟s changed at the Numberson residence in
Bluewater Village without boring you to death with details AND to get an heir poll started! As I said to a friend while putting this together, this
update is essentially “HI LET ME SHOW YOU AN OLD PICTURE OF THE FAMILY -- LOOK, CATS! – OH HEY, RANDOM SHOTS OF
EACH KID WITH BIOGRAPHIES AND CRAP and then finally THE END, LOL.”
Er, so, with that in mind, let me reintroduce you to everyone. From left to right we have the following Numbersons: One, Beth, Zero, and Eins in
the back row, Uma, Yat, Yi, and Una in the middle row, Ane and Eme in the front row, & Hitotsu, Cat, Neko, Heidi, and Ichi sitting on the
ground.
Oh that‟s right, you‟ve not met Heidi. You poor, unfortunate beings…
4. “Cat go circle roundround. RoundyroundroundROUNDround--blue -four -seven -ROUND.”
Heidi is what I like to call… *special* -- That is to say she is absolutely, completely, and entirely insane. Or severely lacking in cognitive ability.
Or both. Actually, let‟s go with both.
5. Unfortunately she was about the only cat available to breed with Cat, and as we needed some generation 1 kittens before Cat was, well, dead…
yeah. She‟s pretty enough, if slow, and I had high hopes that she and Cat would get along really well.
Haha, no.
6. You see, up until Heidi arrived, Cat had *the life.*
Rolling around in the grass, being choked nearly to death by the
occasional Numberson (hi, Ichi!), and giving Friedrich back
massages daily were just some of Cat‟s favored activities.
7. In fact you may recall Cat‟s best friend Friedrich the Canary from last
chapter. Indeed, Friedrich and Cat are far easier for me to remember than
any of the kids…
Anyway.
The problem between Cat and Heidi, aside from Cat being royally
cheesed off that there was another feline in the vicinity at all, was none
other than Friedrich himself.
Just minutes after her arrival, Heidi decided it might be a good idea to get
to know the locals--you know, try to fit in. She began with Friedrich.
Cat thought this was the stupidest thing he‟d ever heard and retaliated.
On 3 single beds.
We only had 3 single beds at that point.
8. Eventually, though, they started to get along. Sort of. And their first „hoo was a community social event.
(I have never, ever understood this about the game. Are all sims perverts or what?)
9. A few days later, Heidi popped out an adorable white male kitten. He was
named Neko, which is Japanese for cat.
Cat was actually fairly happy about the situation. He even let Neko play
with Friedrich from time to time.
After much coaxing, of course.
10. So now you know who Heidi and Neko are, for the most part! Of course there was one more addition after that picture was taken…
11. A few days after Neko was born, I noticed some random white cat eating a plate of grilled cheese sandwiches. It took me far longer than I care to
admit to realize that this was Neko, all grown up.
I was disappointed, really. While I was happy that Neko had Heidi‟s green eyes and Cat‟s medium coat, I‟d really wanted Cat‟s stripes to carry
on, you see, so I had Heidi and Cat try for another kitten.
It was a girl that time, named Pusa after the Filipino word for cat. Guess what she looked like…?
12.
13. I know right, Eins? I couldn‟t believe that Pusa was a clone, either!
Sigh.
Moving on, though! As I sort of hinted at before, this update is not much more than a glorified heir poll. So… let‟s get on with that, shall we?
From here on out you‟ll have pictures of everyone in the family, stats for the kids, as well as the occasional bit of information from behind the
scenes.
Kids are shown in order of birth, but let‟s start with the two most important groups first, hmm?

18. About One:
“What‟s up, readers and dudes? I‟m One Numberson. I feel like I should totally be in A.A. or something. Not that I drink or whatever
but…whatever. As the oldest you'd think I'd feel like I've got mega pressure to look really awesome for my bros and sisters, but nah. I kinda do
that by default or whatever. I'm a really laid back dude. I love running and working out is pretty rad no matter what, but water is the fucking best.
Any time Una n' me can get the hell outta here we're off to the gym together, and I'm always in the pool.
I love the ladies but I totally treat „em right, you know? I‟m no Mr. Big or anything. If I'm, uh, elected? I‟d totally marry a chick and I totally
swear to uphold the family rules.
Oh, and we're totally getting a pool.”

20. About Eins:
"So I'm just supposed to talk, right? Uh, hi, I'm Eins. There isn't all that much to say about me. I‟m really nice? My brother One says I'm a
science geek and he's basically right. I mean, I spend most of my time on the internet or messing with electronics. He also says I cry a lot, which I
don‟t. No really. Don‟t look at me like that.
I love my girlfriend Melody more than anything and I can't wait until we're married. I haven't exactly asked yet, but she'll probably say yes.
Right?
Oh, speaking of that... you should probably hear about why you can't actually vote for me...”
21. Behind the Scenes Moment: There was this one incident, readers, in which,
well…Eins got himself thoroughly disqualified from heirship as per rule
#6…
---
“I hope you know you were conceived in that bed, Eins.”
“MOOOOM.”
“Don‟t „moooom‟ me. You‟re paying for new sheets with your allowance.”
~later that evening~
“Are these new sheets?”
“Oh, God…ask your son.”
“Er, which one?”
22. I really hope it was worth it. Call me crazy but I‟m pretty sure Melody Tinker is a psycho bitch…
So yeah, keep in mind that Eins is out of the running!

25. About Yat:
"Hey…I'm Yat. Everyone pretty much calls me Yatty, though. (One calls me Yatty Fatty, but please, please don't you start that too. I'm not fat!
I'm just not a freaking meathead like he is.) Ugh, so, me... um. I love music. I compose all my own stuff and I really want to get some of it out
there. I'd definitely perform if given the chance, but right now I'm doing what mom told me--keeping my head in my books and getting my
education. She wants me to have a backup plan, you know? So I'm going into architecture if the whole music thing blows up in my face and shit.
If I'm picked as heir I will definitely make sure we all behave but we will SO have fun in the process. I sort of already have my eye on this girl
Christy... so I'm pretty sure I can fulfill that whole 9 kid thing. God, 9 kids. What the shit was my dad smoking when he came up with that one.
You know, I bet it was Cat's idea. That freaking animal is going to take over the world, just watch.
I should also probably tell you that I'm awesome, but that's only because that crazy chick with the camera is telling me to."

27. About Yi:
“Hi! I'm Yiyi and I guess it's time to talk about me! I can definitely do that.
My brothers and sisters all think I'm a diva, which I guess I sort of am. I'll admit that! I just like things a certain way. Well, my way, to be
precise. You'd never know it but I love sports! Well, I like them on the inside. I'll glue myself in front of the TV to catch all the Sim State games
but no way am I going outside and getting all sweaty! No way! I prefer to cheer from the sidelines.
If you pick me we will have a blast! I love going to parties so we'll probably host a lot of those. I'll invite all of my sisters and brothers! Una too,
even if she's a stupid bit--um.
Thanks for listening!”

When I grow up (hehe) I want to be a cop. I think it's really great that they protect us and stuff. Oh, but no doughnuts for me! Ew. Coffee is bad
for your teeth, too. Maybe I'll revolutionize police culture! We can be known for eating granola bars or something.
If I get to be heir I will have no problem making lots of babies! I love kids. I love people and I love making new friends. I don't have a
boyfriend yet, but that's just because I haven't met The One! He'll come around soon enough.
Oh, and I love my twin sister Uma!!!”

I'm Uma! I love cheese! Don't you love cheese? It's really gouda.
I love to cook so my pepper jack family will always have a lot of cheese to eat! I want to open a restaurant that only serves cheese, isn‟t that
parmesan?!?!?!
Vote for me!!! HI UNA."
33. Behind the Scenes Moment: Uma was cheesed on her teen birthday because, as shown last chapter, she missed her last toddler skill. She rolled
family as her secondary, though, and was really helpful with her younger siblings when they were babies. She‟d do okay, even if she‟s ever so
slightly excitable.

37. About Ane & Eme:
"Hi, we're Ane--“
"And Eme!“
"--and we do everything together.“
"If you pick us we will be really cheesetastic!“
"Yeah, and our husbands will be really jalapeno cheddar.“
"That Mr. Big guy is totally into Ane! I'm not really looking at anyone right now, but I'm all for free love and all that.”
---
Behind the Scenes Moment: I hadn‟t played my Numbersons for quite a while before I started up again, so I thought Ane and Eme had finished
their toddler skills. They hadn‟t. As such, they both were cheesed on their teen birthdays and then rolled the Romance secondary. They are the
most twin-like twins of the bunch. If chosen they will split the 9 kids of generation 2 between them as co-heirs.

"If you pick one of us we will definitely do well, and we'll make sure everyone ALWAYS stays active."
