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, 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!

Deciding Who Goes and Who Doesn’t

2 of the 3 candidates have lifetime wishes that require university.

Those Sims are Stephen Montes and Ulasim Tortall

Uline Tortall is the only one who does not. Her aspiration is Romance / Pleasure. However, she is in love with Stephen. I also looked at her interests like I did with Keith Foley the last time. She has high interest in school and decent interest in both money and work. She would go to University.

Majors

Now to decide majors.

Stephen Montes – Biology
Ulasim Tortall – Economics
Uline Tortall – Drama

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!
