Fall 2, Group 4

Welcome back to Wildwood Heights BACC. This update is Group 4. This rotation Group 4 consists of Allen 2, Peters 1, and Tortall 2.

We start off at then Allen 2 residence with Christy going into labor.

Giving birth to a baby boy named Verner Allen.

Current Allen 2 residence. Maxwell is working towards his Creativity skill. He was able to get into the Culinary career and he reaches level 9 before the end of the rotation.

Soon, Verner is a toddler and so begins the toddler skilling.

And the attempts at giving Verner a sibling also begin, though I can’t remember if this was successful or not.

Final thing of note was Christy working on more toddler skills for Verner.

First thing of importance at the Peters 1 residence is my string of bad luck with chance cards starting. Violeta got fired. She ends up joining the Show Business career and is level 6 by the end of the rotation.

This round Violeta and Raisa decide to work towards starting a family.

And it’s soon successful as a baby bump shows up a day later and two days after that, Violeta is giving birth.

She gives birth to a baby boy named Dewitt Peters.

Violeta breaks the computer while looking for a job in Oceanography. I have Raisa attempt to fix it because 4 mechanical points should be enough. And if it’s not, well, there’s another electrocution and she’s in good enough mood to not die.

And it was a good thing I noted that she wasn’t in a bad mood as we added an electrocution. This does bring the electrocutions to three. Which gives an opening of Science to someone who doesn’t meet any other requirements. Which basically means townies who marry in don’t have to quit regardless of if there’s already another townie in the career given my mod that changes Science to requiring a college degree and Science positions being open to college graduates.

First order of business at the Tortall 2 residence was Ulasim inviting Anais Paay over and moving her in since she’s a Young Adult Sim. She brings $10,000 with her in funds, which is much needed for their funds.

She also doesn’t age into a completely horrible outfit either.

Next order of business for the pair was getting married after I built them a house.

And well, after marriage comes trying for a baby. They were unsuccessful with this attempt.

Current Tortall 2 residence at the moment.

Ulasim is in the Business career and gets to level 9 before the end of the rotation.

Anais has a LTW to be Head of the SCIA, which isn’t likely to happen. She’s currently in the Education career and by the end of the round is at level 4.

The second attempt at starting a family.

Bad chance card luck here and she gets demoted, gets promoted back to that spot, gets that same chance card again and this time is successful with it and gets promoted to level 4

The second attempt at starting a family was successful.

And soon, Anais gives birth to a baby girl named Susanne Tortall.

Ulasim Tortall needs friends for work.

And more autonomous woohoo. I can’t remember if it was a Try for Baby or not and if it was a Try for Baby, I don’t remember if it was successful or not. We’ll have to find out when we return to the family next round!

Fall 2, Group 3

Welcome back to Wildwood Heights BACC. This update is for Group 3. For this round Group 3 consists of Silva 1, Pangalan 1, and Tortall 1.

Thad being a wonderful grandfather and helping with the twins.

Josiah and Dagmar go for more kids.

And soon Dagmar is showing.

And the twins are now toddlers.

Kimberly is adorable.

And so is Tucker.

Marcelo and Bryon get roped into helping teach them to use the potty.

Second baby bump!

And nothing happened between second baby bump and birth.

Dagmar gave birth to a baby girl named Monica who is a Lycan.

Last thing that happens on the lot is Thad becomes an Ecological Guru and tops Natural Science. He then quits so that others who need it can join the career since he didn’t unlock the career.

At the Pangalan 1 residence, Qiu has become a teenager.

He’s rolled Family/Knowledge and his LTW is to have 50 Dream Dates.

Uwe also soon ages to child.

And then I catch Ivy cheating on my Simself with Benjamin Long in front of the kids.

Even accepts his first kiss.

But starts rejecting his advances as soon as my Simself gets home.

Last thing that happened at the house is Qiu started a fire.

The computer broke at the Tortall residence so I had Uuosae fix it as she had the highest mechanical skill.

Uuosae and Kaia then get to work on the third required kid for the generation.

The virtual twins are soon toddlers.

Volorin here is adorable.

Volney is also adorable.

Kaia and Uuosae teach the toddlers their skills.

Or at least attempt to. Uuosae’s not having the easiest pregnancy and none of the Tortalls are behaving well and doing what I say either.

Here’s what the current house looks like.

Uline comes over and attempts to help by bathing Volney.

I’m really having trouble getting these guys to do what I want, especially with regards to the toddlers so Uline is helping, but not.

Uuosae goes into labor!

And gives birth to a girl named Vereyu.

Vereyu is named after a member of the raka conspiracy in the Trickster’s Choice stories.

Last thing that happened in the round was Volorin aged to child.

Fall 2, Group 2

Welcome back to Wildwood Heights. This is updating on Group 2. For this round, Group 2 consists of Hardy 1, Allen 1, and Montes 1.

Elijah is being a wonderful uncle to Gregory.

Lance and Linda trying for a sibling for Gregory but so far no luck. This neighborhood may break my average of like 4-5 kids per family.

Faye has topped Law and has completed her lifetime wish.

Saul also being a good uncle and helping Gregory age to a toddler.

His nice points put him in the Evil Wizard range.

And more trying for a sibling for Gregory. I can’t remember if they were successful or not.

But we’ll have to wait until next time to see. Here’s a look at the house as it was at the end of the rotation.

And this is the only picture I took at the Allen 1 residence. With it just being Neville, Codi, and Rochel, not much of interest happens beyond typical vampire idiocy of recycling the paper and taking out the trash in the middle of the day.

Back at the Montes house, Stephen and Uline waste no time in trying for a baby.

They then get married which was the initial plan before they ran off.

Typical night at the Montes residence.

And this is not Stephen and Uline

This is Andrew and Sharron. Trying for a baby. They have a 5% chance to try and they rolled a 3 so they were trying. Luckily, they didn’t succeed.

One of them got a genie lamp. Will likely hold on this to use for a Montes who gets a LTW that I don’t like. They don’t need money.

Final thing that happens is that Uline goes into labor.

And gives birth to a single child, a boy named Troy.

Troy, like his father and grandfather, is a vampire and a werewolf.

Fall 2, Group 1

Welcome back to another season of Wildwood Heights BACC! This rotation has the same number of houses as the last rotation. We’ve added one house, but I don’t have to send anyone to University this round so that washes out.

This group consists of the houses Everett 1, Briggs 1, and Foley 1.

The above picture is the only picture I took at the Everett 1 house as nothing of importance to the neighborhood happened there. No one aged up or was born.

They mostly just took care of their needs and worked towards their LTW’s or skills.

At the Briggs 1, house though things were happening. Randi Briggs is now showing for her second pregnancy.

Aya has aged up to a toddler.

Which means so has Isabelle.

And so begins the task of teaching the twins their skills.

Which was interrupted by Randi going into labor.

This time to a single baby girl named Lauretta.

And the twins get potty trained as well.

And soon Lauretta joins Aya and Isabelle as toddlers. Though it is thankfully just for a single day. That single day being the first day of winter so we’ll deal with that and the twins birthdays in the next round.

At the Foley 1 house, Keith goes into labor.

And has twins. The first up being a girl named Reyna.

Second born being a boy named Colson.

As Keith loaded up with a want to get married when I loaded up the house, he invited over Niek Tsang, the twins’ father, and proposed engagement.

He said yes and they turned around and had an immediate marriage on the lawn, the stars being the only witnesses.

It took a couple of tries, but they eventually were successful in trying for more kids.

Reyna is absolutely adorable as a toddler.

And I imagine Colson will grow into his nose.

And like with the Briggs twins, the pair get started on learning their skills pretty much immediately after.

And we end the round much like we ended the round the last time with the Foley house, with one of them showing.

Niek wants to be a Criminal Mastermind and he is currently in the Criminal career as well currently.

And that’s it for the season!

Summer 1, Group 4

Welcome back to Wildwood Heights BACC! This round consists of two new houses (Allen 2 and Peters 1) and the University Sims. I will also state here that unless I change my University requirements or until I unlock a University for my own usage, that I will not be doing a University Candidates page anymore. For the same reason I’ve moved to doing groups: it’s about the neighborhood, not the individual Sims.

Starting off at the Allen 2 residence, Maxwell looks for his LTW career of being a chef.

He finds it and joins it. He also gives some money to paying back his college tuition loan.

He did not find a significant other in college so I have him greet random townies and see who sticks. Christy Inada has 2 bolts with Maxwell so they started up a relationship.

And they quickly go from lovers to engaged to married.

And it doesn’t take long for them to try for a child. But the child will be born in the next round due to how long it took for Christy to walk by the lot.

Next up was the final residential lot, the Peters.

Violeta Silva and Raisa Peters wasted no time getting married and engaged with Violeta taking Raisa’s last name.

I do some move in/out shenanigans to get the house name in game to say Peters and I eventually get it there and this is their current house.

And Violeta sets the stove on fire when her father was over and it takes both Raisa and Violeta to put it out

It didn’t help that the fire was going still at 8 pm when the werewolf transformation occurs.

But this was the last thing of importance to happen at the house.

Stephen and Uline waste no time picking up where they left off as teenagers and Stephen quickly proposes to Uline and she accepts.

Ulasim greets the various Sims that are at the dorm and visit and finds he has 2 bolts with Anais Paay

And he eventually proposes to Anais and she accepts.

Stephen maxes his logic skill due to wishing to play chess almost every night.

And this is where I’m glad I have ACR’s jealously plug in. Stephen accepted a kiss from Tammie Durao right in front of Uline and fell in love with her. He has 2 bolts with both of them. His one true love however does remain with Uline.

Uline’s jealousy is set to she doesn’t get jealous.

And the last thing of any importance that happened before they all graduated with 4.0’s was that Uline stayed outside in the summer sun for too long and she passed out. The only one home at the time was Stephen but he’s risky to send outside in the sun.

Luckily Ulasim got home from class and was able to douse her awake before she died.

And that is it for this group of updates!

Summer 1, Group 3

Welcome back to Wildwood Heights! If you’ve noticed the title format change, I have changed up how I’m posting my BACC. Sometimes in a period of 5 days, nothing really interesting happens in the scheme of the BACC. This is a challenge about the neighborhood, not individual families.

So at the beginning of each rotation, I will be dividing the neighborhood into smaller chunks. Currently that’s 3 households. The final group will be a bit larger as it will have the University round, the University Candidates post, and the end of rotation summary.

For this round, Group 3 has the following houses: Silva 1, Pangalan 1, and Tortall 1.

At the Silva residence, Josiah is back and has made his moves on Dagmar Bertino.

That night a burglar made the bad mistake of trying to rob them. Werewolves passively get their Body skill maxed so they’re very likely to win fights.

Josiah eventually proposed and got married to Dagmar.

They are loving the bathroom for life events. Dagmar got pregnant and has given birth to twins Tucker and Kimberly. Both are werewolves.

This was the end of the rotation at the Silva residence.

I also played the Pangalan household. But it appears I didn’t take any pictures. Uwe aged to child and had learned all of his skills. Yvo aged to toddler as well. Nothing else of importance happened here.

They aged up to have the same underwear.

They wasted no time in trying for a baby.

Even beat the getting married part. Had them do it now instead of waiting for a want to roll as Kaia was the one who got pregnant and I want the kid she has to have the Tortall last name.

And this is where I claim I hate ACR and same sex pregnancy mods.

Because they went and tried for another baby. So both Uuosae and Kaia are pregnant.

Two things of importance here in this picture.

First is that Aeryn has come home wit a promotion to Hall of Famer. He’s now completed his lifetime wish.

The second is that the townie in the background is doing the reaction to labor.

Because at that same moment that Aeryn was coming home, Kaia was giving birth to a boy named Volorin.

Volorin is named after Sergeant Volorin. He was member of the King’s Own and was part of the Third Company which was the Company that Squire Keladry was with when she was squired by Lord Sir Raoul.

Later that evening, Uuosae gave birth to Volney.

Volney is named after Volney Rain. He is an artist of the Tortallan Court.

And that’s all that happened at all three houses!

Instead of doing updates here, the updates will now just happen at the end of the summary page.

Summer 1, Montes 1

Welcome back to the Montes family! In the last update the Montes started a restaurant and got it to rank 10.

The Montes are currently digging for treasure to earn enough money to buy a business. Their taxes keep them pretty cash poor.

But they do eventually earn enough money and they have an electronics store.

These are really profitable.

And the eventually get it to rank 10 and it had apparently dipped down to rank 9 before I left the lot that time as when I went back to just earn more money, they got to rank 10 again. Due to how EA counts the number of rank 10 businesses, this also triggered Karl’s LTW to be satisfied. This means that they will not be opening another business unless someone in that family needs a business as that’s my rule for businesses. Your LTW requires a business to be opened for it, you get to open it. I only make an exception if there is someone in the neighborhood with the LTW to get 5 top level businesses like what happened with Karl.

And that’s it for the season!
