The fracturehood is now thirty years old! It took me half a real-life year but I finished season 6. I now present some drama, deets and data to sum up the last five years in my horribly-warped mini megahood.



As always we'll start with the season's birth records - this time, a record-breaking 12 babies!



* Olivia Weaving is Buck Grunt's daughter with his former-dormie husband, born into Angela's cult. I'm about to rearrange the cult again to absorb Leod McGreggor, and I think Olivia will be joining the new household without either of her parents to help maintain Angela's control.
* Kody Burb is Jennifer and John's second and almost certainly last child, very much younger than sister Lucy, getting all the attention from both parents since John is staying home and Jennifer has already worked her way up to a cushy job.
* Benjamin and Nicky Ottomas inevitably came along with adding the Ottomases to my fracturehood. I'm coping OK with the Ottomases after the practice of Angela's massive cult households, but they didn't make things easy. Nicky (brown hair, blue bed) has an ultra-boring personality like the rest of the family, while Benjamin (blond hair, yellow bed) has a super extreme personality like you expect from half-alien kids.
* Levon Nigmos is Johnny and Ophelia's FOURTH son and probably last child because the Curious Family Wreath is quite large enough already. This is the comfiest cosiest household you ever saw and Levon is a very lucky lad to be born into it.
* Ruben Woods Burb is Lucy Burb's and her dormie husband's; they're giving all their kids two given names to keep them unique. Money and space are a bit tight at the younger Burb household, so Ruben Woods might have to wait a long time for a room of his own.
* Zaki Caliente will be the first sim to inherit Alexander Goth's heritable fracture; we will be a Pleasure sim. Currently Zaki's living circumstances are very much a 'making do' situation as Alexander wants nothing to do with him, but Bella has stepped in to make sure Nina isn't coping alone (due to her fracture Nina is actually a little younger than Alexander).
* Urania Wilford is the half-alien daughter of 'Heaven Wilford' (Circe Beaker) and unlike Circe's older children might actually be raised like a human being. Circe has kept her existence secret out of habit, except for hiring a Nanny so she can keep working.
* Koyomi Wan is one of the two babies resulting from Patricia and Crystal deciding they want to platonically raise children together to continue their legacies - I think Crystal has gotten a bit swept up in the Life Weaving rhetoric and Patricia is being dragged along for the ride. Genetically, Crystal is the 'father'.
* Xuan Vu is the other baby resulting from that plot, this time a (gender-flipped, personality-scrambled) clone of Crystal. Xuan and Koyomi were born the same day and share a household, but I built two houses on the same lot so Crystal can raise Xuan and Patricia can raise Koyomi but they have their own spaces.
* Oliver Curious is a result of Nervous' continued interest in the night sky and my interest in keeping a little more of Nervous' genetics around. Most of the rest of the Curious Chaos has left for university now, so he has his dad and step-dad's full attention.
* Ellie Martin, the last baby of the rotation, is Jacob Martin's first child - he and Dustin have spent most of their adult lives raising Jules and Dirk's orphaned kids together, but the Dreamer trio are reasonably independent now so a baby isn't too much chaos.



Going forward I think it's going to have to be updates every in-game day because a whole five-day super-rotation is just too much to type up (or read) at once at the 'hood's current size. I feel like I'm leaving out a lot of context so do feel free to ask questions if there's something you're interested in! For now I'll make an attempt at mentioning some non-birth-related key events XD



All the first season's babies are now adults and mixed up in relationships of varying degrees of stability and seriousness. Michaela Goth roped in a dormie as her 'girlfriend' to do her bidding, the others have been pairing off or flirting with anything that moves in accordance with their aspirations.



Evin Pleasant and Racer Curious both achieved their lifetime wishes to have 20 best friends while they were still in university! I think playing rotationally makes this a bit too easy - relationships aren't hard to maintain when you can boost it while playing as either side.



A bunch of the older premade adults became elders - some are carrying on as-is, some are enjoying retirement, and I moved General Buzz Grunt in with Buck in the Cult of Life Weaving as a simulation of him rapidly losing his faculties and being unable to live alone. I don't control him but he manages to keep out of trouble as long as someone cooks for him at mealtimes.



I moved the Ottomases and Ramaswamis in, and Peter and Priya received alien-looking custom skin recessive genes (I flipped a coin for each of Peter's premade kids too). So they're secretly carrying a fracture gene which might cause some interesting drama when it surfaces - neither Ottomas twin expresses it though. Sanjay and Priya are expecting a baby and Peter is wanting to cheat so it may not have to wait long for one or the other to show up.



Alexander Goth, having just discovered that he has an unwanted newborn son by Nina, also got abducted by aliens and got another of his girlfriends pregnant. I'm really torn about whether he might foist those further two kids on Bella, or pretend they're Xander's and hand them over to Morty. I need to decide, also, whether all three of his kids inherit his Pleasure Aspiration curse or just one.

  
All in all the Fracturehood currently consists of 111 sims (including unborn babies) in 29 households. Of the sims old enough to have an aspiration 12 have Fortune, 13 have Romance, 17 have Popularity, 17 have Knowledge, 18 have Family, and Alexander Goth has Pleasure.

  
The first things I'll do for the next day in the Fracturehood are probably spending a little while in the uni house getting Dylan Dreamer and Benny Curious settled in, and playing Jill Smith and her wife Tori to find out the genders of their twins.
