Winter 2, Group 2

Welcome back to another group of families in Wildwood Heights BACC! This group of families contains Hardy 1, Allen 1, and Montes 1.

The try for baby previously was either a regular woohoo or not successful.

They did however try again this round and were successful. Linda had not given birth before the end of the round.

The house was relatively easy with just the four Sims in it as the youngest 3 got sent to Uni.

Allen 1 household was even slower as it’s just Neville currently. Kaia’s over visiting at the moment and that was the only thing I actually took a picture of this round at the house.

He’s also achieved his LTW of having 6 grandchildren. His grandchildren currently are: Aya Briggs, Isabelle Briggs, Lauretta Briggs, Lucian Briggs, Retha Briggs, and Verner Allen. His kids are still in child bearing years without even considering the fact that youngest two of his are vampires.

At the Montes house, Troy ages to toddler and that’s all that happens here.

I am however going to spend some time going over a new change to my game play. It involves how many kids families end up with.

I looked up various ways that other Simmers decide how many kids a single Sim wants. And I merged a couple of them.

But this is the reason whey Uline hasn’t gotten pregnant again.

Stephen has an Ideal Family Size of 2. Uline has an Ideal Family Size of 1.

For them to have more kids either Uline has to roll a want for another baby or Stephen does. If Stephen does, he also has to convince Uline in order to do so. I’m still letting ACR determine if they actually try for a baby or not.

I will ignore Ideal Family Size for families that have to have a specific number of pregnancies or kids. I will adjust all spouses to at least the minimum required if there’s a challenge that requires a minimum number of kids, but doesn’t prohibit additional kids. Currently that’s Pangalan 1 and Tortall 1. Pangalan 1 has to have a number of pregnancies equal to name size. Tortall 1 has to have at least 3 kids.

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.

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!

Spring 1, Montes 1

Welcome back to the Montes family! In the last update, the Montes ranked up their Art Store to Rank 10 so that Ivy Pangalan could enter the Artist career. Stephen also aged to teenager.

Karl working on his charisma skill.

Andrew working on his logic skill.

Stephen clogged the toilet, so Stephen got to unclog it.

Stephen chatting with most likely Uline Tortall.

The Montes have purchased a restaurant named Widkova Restaurant. I downloaded it off of Mod the Sims. Both Maxwell Allen and Loren Hardy want to be a Celebrity Chef so they needed a restaurant. Since Loren is a vampire, I’m not too worried about only opening one position. Loren has a while to earn her lifetime wish.

Karl is the chef. Andrew is the host. Stephen is the waiter and busker.

They work towards getting stars, Karl doing some autonomous selling even in between cooking.

Uline showed up and Stephen got to serve her.

Stephen broke the shower.

Andrew working on his charisma skill.

Sharron brought home Rodney Jung from work and they played chess.

And Komei Tellerman gave the restaurant the final star needed to become Rank 10.

Stephen rolled a wish to paint or gain a creativity skill point.

Guess who broke the shower?

Just a typical day at the Montes.

And that’s it for the season!
