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.

Winter 2, Group 3

Welcome back to another group of families in Wildwood Heights BACC! This group contains Silva 1, Pangalan 1, and Tortall 1.

We start off at the Silva 1 residence with Monica aging to toddler. She’s adorable.

Here’s the house as it currently stands.

Dagmar out socializing as one or more of them need a friend for promotion most likely. Monica’s playing with a toddler toy.

Thad is teaching Kimberly to study. Tucker is throwing a fit over choosing to write in his diary near the pair doing homework. Josiah is at work most likely.

And the last thing to happen of any significance was Thad becoming an elder.

Up next is the Pangalan 1 residence and there, Quy topped Education and her LTW is now achieved!

Qiu topped logic.

Uwe gets his first kiss with Amina Everett. They’re in the same college grouping so they may last or they may not. I don’t think they have many bolts, but it may depend on who the heir is at the Everett legacy as the heir there has to marry a townie.

Uwe is a Pleasure/Popularity Sim who wants to graduate 3 kids from University. He’s also straight.

Ivy topped Artist career, achieving her LTW.

Yvo is a teenager now as well. He’s straight. His aspiration is Fortune/Knowledge and he wants to be a Game Designer.

And that’s it for the Pangalan 1 house.

Onto the Tortall 1 residence where Volney ages to child. He’s adorable.

Kaia tops the Body skill.

Vereyu ages into a very adorable toddler.

And the rotation here at this house ends with the grandparents teaching her the various skills. Or at least starting it. I don’t know if they finished them or if they have been finished at this point.

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.

Winter 2, Group 1

Welcome to another round of Wildwood Heights BACC! This rotation, we have 12 houses plus University.

Group 1 contains Everett 1, Briggs 1, and Foley 1.

We start off at the Everett house and Keegan working on logic and Amina working on body. Tempie’s working on Charisma and Gordon’s sleeping.

The kids have surprisingly been rolling skilling wants and therefore they get to skill.

Tempie is now currently an elder.

Amina has aged to teenager. She’s randomized straight and her aspiration is Pleasure/Knowledge with a LTW to be Head of the SCIA – so she’ll need an Intelligence spot opened. Which means someone has to top Criminal, Military, or Science. Luckily for Amina, she won’t have to do the leg work for this herself as I do have someone in both the Criminal and the Science careers already.

Since Amina and Keegan are twins, Keegan is also a teenager. He’s also randomized straight. His aspiration is Knowledge/Romance with the LTW to be an Icon – so top Show Business. So someone has to top Slacker or Entertainment. I’ve already got a spot open for this as I’ve opened 2 spots and only 1 of them is currently filled.

But that’s all that happened at the Everett house.

Next up are the Briggs household. This household is a bit chaotic at the moment. Isabelle and Aya literally just aged to children, or at least Isabelle did. I think she may have glitched a bit with the age up time as it’s not 6 pm.

Roxann came home with a promotion to level 10 of Gamer, meaning she has completed her LTW.

Randi and Sean being Family Sims, you can guess what’s going on here.

Isabelle brought home Volorin Tortall.

Aya brought home Gregory Hardy.

2 reasons for this picture:

1. Aya and Isabelle learning to study
2. Roxann has aged to elder.

The above trying was successful, but I didn’t get any pictures of any baby bumps. Randi gives birth to twins Lucian and Retha.

And this also happened on the pretty much the last day of the rotation.

Unlike the Briggs, the Foley household didn’t have much action.

Niek gave birth to Charles and he did age to toddler, but I didn’t get a picture of it.

Reyna and Colson have also aged to child but I didn’t get a picture of them.

Sam Foley also aged to elder. And that’s all that happened at this house this rotation.
