In this post you'll very briefly meet the Leif family, how they ended up together, and get to see a gallery of the inspirations behind the build and family. The story & build practically poured from my fingers, my only challenge was not being able use any of the items I normally would use, almost everything from Dragon Valley & mother Russia for example, as they weren't listed under the have items. Trust me I've come close to throwing the world at you half a dozen times while waiting for this day to come around. Although that would have been a self serving clunk, and defeat the challenge of creating for someone else. In terms of build order this was my second build but first idea concept. My muse was most frantically shouting in my ear, and helped me find the in game bits that would work for the final goal. To start you off here is a peak at everything I pulled off the web for inspiration and reference. I hope you enjoy the broad interpretation of Scandinavian influence. Since you don't have either of the worlds I would have used I opted to build in Hidden Springs. I relied heavily on Behind The Name for all names used for this family and build. Leif Family and Kaleva Origin Eir and Runi, the youngest of their families, were paired off by the elders of Kaleva to create the family Leif and to start a new house. A house that would hopefully help bring peace to the valley by joining two strong families. Their pairing was bumpy at first, but over the centuries they fell in love with each other. When Eir became gravid a huge banquet was held in their honor. During her gravid time Eir frequently felt as if there was constant conflict going on within her belly. When she birthed twins, a girl Hjordis (KHUUR-tees ), and a boy Tofi, there was confusion. The elders had previously decreed that eldest born would carry on the house name, but girls were never eldest born and therefor were never heads of family. The young, by fae standards, parents were grateful that both babies were heavy sleepers, for it allowed them small amounts of respite. An elder took pity on them and enchanted a local human, with an extended life span, to help them around the small house. As the twins grew bigger and learned to crawl it quickly became apparent that what one had the other had to have also, or else they'd fight over the toy. Eir and Runi where even more grateful for Handy's presence as helper when it became clear that if they were to teach their children anything it had to be at the same time, which meant the parents had no time for cooking or anything else. Every so often a relative would stop by with news from the fairy world. The biggest news was that as human population was growing in the valley, more of the older fae families were opting to leave. One day Eir's eldest brother stopped by, she was shocked by the change in his appearance and his new role on the elder's council. Her heart nearly broke when she learned that he was only staying long enough to cast a powerful glamor on the land to keep the humans from seeing her, Runi, and the twins for their true selves, or the small farm for anything more than a simple farm. He handed her a second vial and cautioned against un-stoppering it before it's time. He explained that it was a powerful sleep draught to be used on the twins when their fighting reached the point that they became enemies. Eir disagreed that her children would ever become enemies, her brother Agnarr shook his head, and made it clear that it had been foretold by Inge. He hugged her goodbye and then slipped into the realm of the fae for good. Eir carefully stored the potion behind a panel, praying to Freya that it should never be needed despite Inge's foreseeing. Runi hugged his wife close when she shared the days conversation as well as the news that they were the last of the fae families in the valley. For this part there is the option, should you choose to attempt to challenge your play style, of downloading the full Leif family; Eir, Runi, twins Hjordis & Tofi, the ever so creatively named Handy (not the same Handy who gave you the tour of Tomomi Center), and the two dogs/wolves Bjorn (female; traits: genius, loyal, and independent) & Gunnr (male; traits: hunter, loyal, and independent). www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9310125 Or Just the Kaleva farm in it's almost a starter stage. www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9310126
