Winter 2, Group 4

Welcome to the next group of families in the Wildwood Heights BACC! This group contains Allen 2, Peters 1, and Tortall 2.

We start off at the Allen 2 residence and all is quiet to start.

But the silence is later broken by Christy going into labor and giving birth to another boy, this time named Russel. He’s a regular Sim, not a wizard.

Christy got promoted at work to level 10 of the Business career.

Somewhere in here, Verner ages to child, but I don’t get a picture of it. I do however get a picture of Russel aging to toddler. He’s adorable.

That ends the notable events at the Allen 2 residence.

The only thing I managed to take a picture of at the Peters 1 residence is Dewitt aging to toddler.

At the Tortall 2 residence, Susanne ages to toddler.

And it was a try for baby or risky woohoo at the end of the last round as Anais is going into labor.

And gives birth to a girl named Isabel.

And it is later when I go to update the spreadsheet that I realized I’ve got 2 Sims with very similar names. Isabelle Briggs and Isabel Tortall. Hopefully enough visually different between the two that I don’t get them confused and I remember which one has which spelling. It had been a long while between when I played the Briggs and when I played this household.

And the final picture here showing what the current house looks like. It’s had an expansion to account for the nursery.

And that’s the end of the rotation here.

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!

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

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.

Ulasim Tortall – Economics
Uline Tortall – Drama

Fall 1, Tortall 1

Welcome to the Tortall Family! Comprised of adults Tkaa (red hair) and Aeryn, teen Uuosae, and children Uline (female) and Ulasim.

They are the generation T heir, his spouse, and the generation U Sims of my Tortall Alphabet Legacy. They’ve come over with their skills and relationships to each other intact as well as their college degrees for Tkaa and Aeryn. They did not get their money back and this will count as one of the downgrades as they even lost the irreplaceable items like career rewards. The previous generations can be read here on their own dedicated blog. You can either follow them here or on their legacy blog for anything past where they moved here as I do not want to force those who are just wanting to read about the Tortalls to have to sift through the other families unless they want to.

Tkaa is a Pleasure/Family Sim who has no occult status. His lifetime wish is to be a Professional Party Guest. His personality is 10/8/3/8/1.

Aeryn is a Family/Popularity Sim who also has no occult status. His lifetime wish is to be a Hall of Famer. His personality is 8/1/10/10/6. Aeryn is a Sim that I had been given permission to use by Livvielove as he was a born in game Sim of a legacy of hers.

Uuosae is a Knowledge/Fortune Sim who has no occult status. Her lifetime wish is to be a Mad Scientist. She’s a lesbian. Her personality is 5/2/10/8/6.

Uline is a normal Sim. Her personality is 10/1/9/8/6.

Ulasim is a normal Sim as well. His personality is 8/8/1/7/8. Continue reading “Fall 1, Tortall 1”
