It's currently still the cave people era, This picture is of the Cove family home which consists of Goteleib Cove and his wife Oghenero and their three children, Leontius, Eupraxia, and Philandros. The children are third generation so when they grow up we'll be moving to the next era. In the meantime, everyone just spends their days farming and fishing and baby making so I'm at a loss as to what to write about really.
In a similar looking cave, Arran watches his young wife Narcissa give birth to his firstborn son, Antigonus. Incidently, Arran's the offspring of the Albani and Taulantii families, while Narcissa's the descendent of both the Daorsi and Maezaei families. Arran's brother is married to a Maezaei/Cavii daughter. So all five founder families are represented. Everyone is related to everyone else in the neighborhood by this point.
The horrible fate of the Daorsus Tribe.
I didn't manage to get any photos of these events, but it's something that happened in my hood. The Daorsus famly was the family started by the fourth son of the Daorsi family Bulus. He married Adeline Albani and they had two children Waldobert and Manlius. Overheating was an issue, but I thought I was managing it fairly well. When Adeline was pregnant with Manlius, she caught fire. Bulus managed to put her out and she spent the rest of her pregnancy inside their cave and seemed to be doing really well. She ultimately gave birth, but while setting the baby down in his cribe, she caught fire again. Bulus managed to put her out and they both went out to eat dinner under the night sky. Again she burst into flames and Bulus finally broke down from all the stress. He couldn't even recover fast enough to plead with the reaper for her. So Adeline was gone.
Bulus cuddled his new infant and decided he'd need help to raise his sons so invited Adeline's twin sister, Rebekkah, to move in with him. His plan was to eventually marry her, but before he could even start wooing her, she went insde the cave to tend to her crying nephew. Bulus went to check on Waldobert who had been playing on the lawn quietly, but ran inside when he heard Rebekkah screaming. She too had caught on fire after picking up Manlius, but in his attempts to save her, Bulus too caught fire, Manlius burning with him.
With his family dead, the toddler Waldobert was sent to the orphanage run by Puja Daorsi. He stayed a round there, eventually getting moved to his uncle Abeiron Daorsi's home. He eventually aged up to a teen, occasionally wishing to play with his father, and then married Anthousa Maezaei and moved back to his original family home.
The lot seemed cursed though because only a couple minutes after the newlyweds moved in, a fire started next to the cave. Waldobert managed to put it out, but just as he finished, Anthousa caught fire while attempting to tidy the lot. Waldobert tried to put her out but ended up catching fire himself. Antousa died, and since he was burning to death himself, he couldn't save her. He too died and his family name with him. His uncle came to the lot to retrieve the remains of the household and the lot was then abanoned to nature (bulldozed) so hopefully the curse is done.

Calixtus and Athanasia Maecia
In another household Calixtus Maecia, third born of the Maezaei family 2nd generation married Athansia Cavii, a daughter of the Cavii tribe. Despite finding each other attractive (two bolts), they could never get along, probably because of Athansia's abrasive since of humor paired badly with Calixtus' temper. Unfortunately, being the only teens not already paired off or related, they were pretty much stuck with each other. Aside from a few arguments though and when I brought them together with ACR for breeding purposes, they stayed seperated, working on their farm and dealing with the daily chores.
While I was playing another household and visiting the wilds, I spotted the couple playing the axe throw. Calixtus was watching Anthansia's toss and apparently judging her because as soon as she was done, he started arguing with her and slapping her, she stepped away to sob, but he followed, shoving and poking at her, she slapped him and started to walk away again, but he shoved her again and this time, she attacked him. Meanwhile, I'd received a notification that she was pregnant, but all I could do now was wait and see if she survived the fight. Unfortunately, his body skill was much higher than hers, so she was killed when Calixtus defended himself. Now he's single again and after a last conversation with her older brother when he came to retrieve her remains, has had all ties severed with the Cavii family.

On the former teen joining lot, which became just a park when I realized having so many hormonal teens crammed onto one lot to live was a bad idea. Murders, starvation and lag.... Now, the lesbian couple, Adelina Cavii and Marina Daorsi take care of the lot and each weekday morning, I teleport all the single from around town to give them a chance to mingle and pair off if they're going to. This round, Climacus Decia and Amata Albana paired up, as did Brian Tarpeia and Thais Cava as seen above on the left. The others seemed to just take advantage of the pond so they could restock their households fish supply since not all of them have ponds or beachfront. But it's still early in this households turn, there's always a chance to pair off another day.
Little Martina Albani, the youngest of the third generation Albani children so far, was a very well behaved baby and made life easy for her former townie mother, Brynja while she recovered from the birth of her older twin brothers, Artemsios and Thodotos Hopefully she'll keep up the good behavior, at least for a little bit.
