Spoiler:
OH MY GOD! I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK FOR YOU!
Brantley going down like that had me slackjawed! I absolutely HATE the emotional deaths in this game! They happen WAY too fast and... well I'm just so glad you had a plan. I'm not for certain, but couldn't you have had a child with the ghost version of Brantley, technically?
Anyways, with that little heart-attack out of the way, I'm keeping my fingers AND toes crossed that you have a smoother last few weeks. I'm also REALLY hoping you get a boy on your first shot, but for some reason I worry this will jinx you so I'm knocking on wood for you anyways. :shifty: :heavybreathing:

I sat there with the game paused looking at the notification and listed out my options. Ambrosia would have taken too long since it was mid winter and everything was frozen. I didn't let the game proceed until I had a plan in place. But I was pouting until his ghost finally showed up.

And no, ghosts can't have babies but that would have been an option if they could have.

Does the challenge end at birth or when the last reach young adult?

Oh man, come on EA! That would've been perfect if you could've just added him to the household as a ghost and had a ghost baby!

The challenge ends when the last child moves out, from what I remember - so you'll get more chance at points. Boy does it feel like a long stretch though, lol.

Yes to mastering that sadness! I'm actually really sad to see Palmer age up! I must admit I keep thinking of our Palmer and get surprised when I don't see a duck, :lol:
The kids are so cute! I'm really going to miss the Bladderstones...
(sniffles)
I don't want to think about that right now, though!

I'm rooting for you Teresa! :highfive:

Thanks! It is part obsession and part knowing that I have a short attention span ;)

I had fun playing it and I am going to miss them. They really grew on me, for sure. I learned a few things myself about the game and about MCCC.

Congrats on finishing! Now I'm gonna go read through from the beginning! I tend to forget who's who from chapter to chapter, but now that it's done I can't do it all at once!

I like reading them in back to back sessions also for the same reason, and because I like the continuity and hate the waiting between updates :)

Just read all the updates in one go. Yay!! Congrats on having the genders even out at the end. When I attempted this, I ended up having to make them have more than 24 kids because the genders weren't even. :lol:

Thanks! I really expected to go over the way I was running in batches of genders, so I was so surprised when it evened up at the end.
