Slaves - Chbihi 1
Previously in ancient Rome... Rory and Olga had their household extremely full! With their niece Adrianne, plus nine children of their own, there was barely enough room on the slave lot given them by the Empire. The addition of quadruplets to an already busy family resulted in little sleep, baths, or food for many of the family members at once. Were it not for the non-existence of such a thing called a social worker in ancient Rome (and a hack that assists in this endeavor), children surely would have been taken away!
Not only did the incredible number of people on this lot interfere with family happiness, Olga had recently died in the Coliseum as a Gladiator. Rome's first sacrifice for the 'entertainment' of the upper classes. How could Rory ever recover from losing his dear wife? How could he manage to handle ten children without her support? He couldn't even necessarily look to his children for support. Camryn in particular had sunk into a deep state of depression, her aspiration as red as could be. Could this family be kept together, or would they fall prey to the demons of depression and anger?

Fight Club Much?
The round began with eleven sims on the lot, reeling from the death of Olga. At the end of the season, three more family members (and a neighbour) had joined the death count. None of those four fights was initiated by me. Apparently the combination of aspiration failure and need decay resulted in some very unhappy sims who felt the need to take out their aggression on each other. I was having difficulty finding matches for any of this family's children so I cannot deny a certain sense of relief that there are three fewer sims who will have to live a life alone.
