New Penny 14-heart event - TWINS!

[DemiserofD]

Penny has always felt a little neglected to me. Part of the issue, I think, is that she in particular wants the family angle, but she ends up no different from any of the other spouses in that regard, and her 14-heart event ends up feeling a bit bland by comparison. Everyone else is going for their dreams and such, like going on a book tour, whereas Penny settles for redecorating a room?

What I'd really like is to shift her current 14 heart event to a 12-heart event, and add a new 14-heart event.

The event? After you have 2 children, she comes to you and admits that while she's happy as things currently stand, she'd really like to have a BIG family, and if you agree, a few days later she admits she's pregnant again - and then a few weeks after, she gives birth - to TWINS!

That becomes her unique end state; four children running around, instead of 2. You automatically get bunk beds instead of the standard child beds, and a very full house!

I think this would really suit her character and life aspirations better, and in the aftermath she might confess to being tired but really, really satisfied with her life, as she has everything she's ever dreamed of.

That's a great idea! You are a genius!!

OMG I HOPE THEY ADD THIS???
It'd make Penny a little more of a unique character, for allowing you to have more kids!

That is the cutest story I ever heard and I believe it would be a great addition.

It’s kind of funny how you say this, becuase are they really fulfilling their dreams if half of them are just settling in the farm? Half of the characters feel like they are better suited for paths outside of Pelican Town, particularly Alex, Sebastian, Sam, Abigail and Haley, with Pelican Town outright making them feel like they are just chained to Pelican Town. Sure, some of them don’t necessarily abandon their dreams, but you get this feeling you end up intruding on a their story arc and basically chaining them to yours.

It’s funny you mention Elliot’s book tour, becuase it’s the one 14 heart event where the romance candidate leaves, but it leads to the other problem in that… does he need romance for this? He could just do that himself without you romancing him. It’s sort of unrelated, but you feel like something that doesn’t need player intervention for this.

At least Penny from what I heard doesn’t abandon her job at the town’s teacher. In fact, she is (probably) the one romance candidate that doesn’t just stay in the farm 24/7 and only going out on occasion.

Like don’t get me wrong, I actually don’t mind the idea of redoing her 14 heart event if you want to (though personally I feel like most 14 heart events kind of aren’t that great in my opinion), but I feel like she doesn’t lose as much agency as people say she does.

Makes for an interesting twist if you marry her as a female farmer. Her 14-heart event is that she admits to cheating on you...
