#he loves her bacc

[melsie-sims]

The Sims is love. List 5 facts about a favorite sim couple of yours, and why you love them so much. Then pass this on to 5 others, whose sim couple(s) you also love. 💘💕 :D

(Pictured: Jericho and Andy's first kiss v.s. their last cuddle post-woohoo years later)

Listen, I'll be honest, I'm not really in love with any of my Sims at the moment or the pairings I've got going on. So I'm bringing back an old couple I haven't played in years (and missing terribly!)

Jericho and Andy were two founders in my original BACC that, honestly, I did not expect would get together. They didn't SEEM to have anything in common... until Jericho decided he wanted a baby of his own and Andy agreed to be the baby mama/platonic co-parent. AKA they became friends with benefits, but caught feelings and eventually became an actual couple.

They ended up having three kids together by the time I stopped playing. Caeley (the FWB baby) was a young adult, they had a teenager named Fabe, and then their youngest was an oopsie baby (I think?) named Karter. She was only a toddler (pre-infants) when that save went RIP.

I think I gave like 20 facts just in the overview but here are some more.

I loved developing their friendship first and doing the whole "slow burn" thing. It was a great foundation for their romance!

They were so supportive of each other's dreams and goals.

He was an erratic sim, she was a lazy sim... It was my first time really playing with "negative" traits and it added a lot of depth to their characters.

Their eldest daughter Caeley was my all-time FAVORITE sim I've ever played. She still is to this day, and if you wanna see her in action she was adopted by @sparepartsbacc.

I don't know where their story would've gone if I'd kept up with my BACC, but I'm positive they would've been together until the end.

Thanks Payte for letting me gush about my old sims! I'd love to see which couple @cyazurai and @memoirsofasim love most right now!

Most of the simmers I actively follow right now are playing Sims 2, but I'm gonna ask them anyway! I wanna see your fave Sims 2 couples: @solarsimblr, @keoni-chan and @kayleigh-83.

If you don't wanna participate just ignore me! I will not be mad at all!

Just read Chapter 19 and I LOVED IT!

PANDEMONIUM, ITTSSSS BACC!

(Bros really gonna give Sadao some PTSD in the next chapter)

But Sadao rage ranting in Japanese while he wrecks the office room with Sebby just standing in the corner with his hands up like "you good bro?" Is the funniest shit.

When Painter finds out Sadao and Sebastian held hands, he's gonna lose his mind.

But poor Sadao, I wanna give him a hug.

Eve is really giving the vibes of the mom who judges the boyfriend of her child (the 'child' being Sebastian). She be like

Eve: how can I trust that you'll treat my boy right?

Sadao: I would die for him

Genuine question though? Are we gonna get a fic of them recovering and healing on the surface after Confluence, because I can imagine Celeste fainting at the sight of Sebastian but recovers, only to faint again at the sight of Sadao and Painter.

And would Sadao's family help him? Would his brother and sisters accept him with his new body?

(Yappin too much sorry, brainrot goes hard and I love this fic)

Overall, very yummy chapter, 10/10.

Hehe I’m glad you enjoyed the chapter

To answer your questions it’s a maybe on a sequel. I might not do like a chapter by chapter one like Confluence and Vicissitude, but make a set of one-shots/Drabbles cuz I don’t have a solid picture on what they are gonna do on the surface. I still have things to figure out with Confluence and how ima end things so we will see~

And yes absolutely Sadao’s family would help, and they would accept them. It would be hard at first, but not in the oh god you’re horrifying, but more of what happened to my baby brother sort of way. They all are very protective of Sadao so having him show up after being told by Urbanshade that he had died in an accident…yeah.

But they absolutely would do whatever they can to help.

Walden BACC

Imogen: "Rowan, honey, I meant to ask: how is Hannah? I haven't seen her around for a while."

Rowan: "Oh, she's fine, she's gone with her dad to visit an aunt of hers." *sigh*

Imogen: "Miss her?"

Rowan: "Like crazy! We text and facetime and stuff, but it's not the same as actually being with her, being able to touch her and kiss her and -"

He stopped himself right there. His mom may have been more chill than Hannah's, but that didn't mean Rowan was about to go into all the details of their private lives.

Imogen: "You two must be pretty serious to have stuck it out this long."

Rowan felt a little embarrassed for completely different reasons than before. He knew they were a bit of an oddity in Walden's teen dating scene: childhood friends turned sweethearts who were about to leave for college and were still going strong. Not to mention, witches of opposite alignments.

Rowan: "Yeah, we are. I...I love her, mom."

Imogen grinned.

Imogen: "Are those wedding bells I hear, maybe?"

Rowan: "Whoa whoa! Do you want Hannah's parents to murder me? College first, at the very least!"

Imogen: "I was joking, but it is nice to see the two of you happy together. You make a cute couple."

Imogen had been only half-joking; after Jacob and Roman's engagement had imploded, and given Fiona's complete lack of interest in settling down, Rowan was her best hope of seeing at least one of her kids start a family.

[allisluv]

it’s 🐁anon im bacc-

I LUV whoever sent the merch ask and I’m curious about ✨more✨

How would the crew react to them as plushies?

peeta and prim find this one cute because... well they find everything cute to be fair.

katniss is still quite hesitant. she's not opposed to the idea, so long as there's a mini-bow attached to her back.

finnick and johanna love them. they make a bet to see who can make the most sales (spoiler alert: its a tie).

haymitch doesn't get the hype but he finds it funny that his has got a little bottle of liquor in its hand.

effie likes that people are fangirling over her. it makes her feel proud of her achievements and there's no shame in that!

Okay im bacc and this is a mafia AU

Puffs are sisters by bond, grew up together in a shelter of Prof. U before being adopted into different family but still keep the bond then rented the same house after high school. Ruffs are bio triplets of a mob family.

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are nicknames they were given at the shelter. The trio still call each other by that name and ppl that are close to them call them that too.

Bloss was named Rosalia bc she was adopted by a Spanish family. Bubbs was named Charlotte. BC was named Auguri (her adopted family was Italian). Thats how Bloss learned Spanish and BC learned Italian. Bloss then also learned French, and BC learned German. Bubbs speaks all of the languages above, being the language genius she is.

They usually teach each others thing. Blossom taught others how to defense one's self with words. Bubbles taught others how to fix some stuffs. BC taught others how to use a riffle and a gun (she was adopted by hunters so she knows how).

Blossom is a law student. She used to be the all that American citizen type but she grew out of it. She still keeps her interest in law so she choose this department. Shes smart but shes not good at emotions and room reading.

Blossom meets Brick everyday in her class. The guy teases her (read: pisses her off) on a daily basis and they usually compete in lectures. Brick actually likes to do that because "she looks like a boiled octopus when shes mad (and thats cute)"

Bubbles is studying to be a tailor. She sometimes design her own stuff but since she dont rlly have the money to make them, she decided to work and study at the same time for it. She is cheerful (obiviously) but she quite the type to keep for herself.

Boomer is one of Bubbles's customer and comes to the shop quite often bc he felt in love with the girl at first sight so he comes to hang out (read: to flirt w Bubbs). The shop's owner is under his dads' influence (not that the employees know abt this) but they dont mind him much bc they used to be the triplets' babysitter.

BC studies cuisine. She usually brings home the food she cooked in class for meals. Girl takes no shit from other and is totes blunt. Shes lowkey headstrong too. She hits the gym and does boxing smt.

BC and Butch are friends at the gym and drinking buddies (and smt fwbs). They usually fight at the ring in the gym to relieve their own stress then hang out (read: drinking) later. BC has a key to Butch's apartment (read: hide out).

The 1st to know abt the shady shit is BC since one time she and Butch got to bar together and some gang around hate the guys face so they decided to, well, gang up the two.

BC was like "bitch I know ur shady af but damn okay wtf" but they dont have much talking time then so Butch just, "put ur boxing glove on bestie we have stress relief outta the gym now" then proceeding to punch ppl.

BC gave him an earful later when they got to Butch's hide out. Butch don't explain much but BC takes it since she knew Butch was being honest to her. Then the guy said "yknow what I actually was gonna ask u out but they saw us together so I'm pretty sure that they think that we're an item now lmao so will u date me?" BC said okay but she smacked him anw.

The 2nd to know was Blossom, a month or two after BC and Butch started dating. They were randomly paired up again so they had to work together, but turned out to just bickering as usual since 1st day working for the task. They met up at a restaurant (that Brick chose) and then some gang pulled up there and scaring ppl off.

Brick decided to lay low at first bc Blossom told up she will sneak a call to the police, but then she was caught. Brick then yelled "fuck this" and proceed on beating ppl. Blossom actually had to stop him from killing someone.

Gang lead realised Brick and yelled to him and spilled out Brick's identity as mob leads' son so Brick punched the guy again. Brick was glad that the restaurant was under his dads' influence and theres no one but him and owner of the place there but then gang lead said "were sorry that were interrupted u and ur girl, pls forgive us!" Then Brick realised, ah fuck, Blossom was still here.

Blossom was there, stunned, and suddenly Brick remembered thats shes here so he was like, "fuck okay, listen, just, don't spill this out." They agreed to never talk abt this incident again. Brick explained to her that yes his dads are mob boss (true), he thinks this life is tiring (true) and he doesnt rlly wanna do this (false). Blossom dont rlly believe that but she knows she shouldnt dig any deeper.

The last one to find out was Bubbs. Unlike her other two sisters, she was kidnapped on her way home. Blossom was staying at school studying. BC got home first, surprised that Bubbs isnt home (normally Bubbs is the 1st to reach there). Her instinct thought that the polices would hold this for too long and Bubbs would be harmed by then, so she called Butch.

Boomer overheard BC's voice on Butch's phone saying, "i need help, i think someone took my sister Bubbles" so he insisted on going w him. Butch be like, "okay, fine?" but did not question more.

BC then met Boomer for the 1st time. She was abt to discuss w them abt the situation but Boomer was like, i know where she works, i frequent that shop. BC raised an eyebrow at that. They did, successfully rescured Bubbs from a gang of human traf.fickers. Bubbs was surprised that Boomer was there, with her sister at that. BC explained everything to her, and said, "well i was hoping for a better scenario to let my bf meet you, but it is what is it i guess" and Bubbs giggled at that.

BC also warned Boomer, "if you lay a single finger on my baby sister's hair, know that i dont give a single fuck abt ur background, blondie, and unlike my other sister, i dont hesitate on dirty my own hands." Boomer rapidly nodded, and Butch whistled at that. Then Boomer realised, "wait, how do you know i like ur sis?" and BC was like, srly? and looked at him dead in the eye, "i saw the way u look at my sis. Im not blind, and the sole fact that ur came to the rescue like a fucking prince charming when ur only heard her name says all."

After the incident, Boomer started to go to the gym that BC and Butch frequent, bc he wanna ask BC how to woo Bubbs. BC usually laughed at how cute that is, and Butch was like, "oh my god my lil bro has grown up" which Boomer grossed out, "eww get ur stinky bloody shit away, bitch"

But it takes Boomer quite long to get from BC that he should find a way to encourage her dream, but do not interfere too much since Bubbs hates ppl underestimate her altho she doesnt say that out. From then Boomer invites BC to their personal gym, and BC was like, why not?

(Welp i havent got any other ides yet (for now lmao) so i gotta end this here)

BACC: Hawk / Starr / Vega Household

After losing everyone they loved, this household is a group of Sims that found each other, they have been together a long time and are like family.

Clockwise from top right - Stella married Lee Hawk. They are expecting their second child, and both want a big family. Stella is a writer, Lee is a gardener. Tyler just aged up to toddler, and Jessie arrives during this rotation.

Nadia Vega is a teen, she loves horse riding. She's super shy, dealing with a huge crush on the other teen in the household... She was a toddler when her parents died, and Stella and Phoenix were pre-teens when they adopted her as their sibling.

Brennan Hawk is the younger brother of Lee, he's a scout, a jokester, and a serial romantic.

Phoenix Starr is a sporty sim and glutton - good thing they work out so much! I'm hoping to move them out soon because we need the space for our babies, and luckily we have a romantic interest in Katy.

Brennan has been seeing Dayana from the Rivers household. They just had their first woohoo and she does not look impressed.

Nadia flirts with Lloyd, who she knows has a crush on her. She's not really into him, she's trying to make Brennan jealous. He is oblivious.

The general story of the world I am trying to rebuild is kind of inspired by Wall-e / Fallout - the world became polluted and some people went up to space to start a life on a new planet, and some went underground. And it's many generations later, the world is ready to repopulate, people are coming back to the surface. Let's not think too deeply about it.

The Watcher was a very lazy woman.

"I resent that."

Shush. You're just an avatar of me, you have no right to protest.

As I was saying. She had many plans, but she knew that if she did them all, she would quickly become overwhelmed and abandon her sim children. Legacy challenge rulesets were her kryptonite; she wanted to do them all, but she couldn't spend all of her time keeping an eye on the sims under her care.

So she had an idea. She also loved Build a City Challenges, and previously she had done one where neglected founders, spares, and sims from people's libraries got a second chance at life. So why not one where brand new legacy founders could found an entire save file together? They would follow their respective legacies, while also following the rules for a BACC.

And so she sent her avatar to approach each of her chosen beginning founders to tell them what was in store for them, before spiriting them away to a brand new, empty save file.

"Why me?" asked Hibiscus Aster, the final sim the Avatar of the Watcher approached.

"Because I know you will be a perfect mayor, Hibiscus. You already are destined to be a politician according to your legacy, and so you are the perfect one to lead the others. I gave them each an explanation before sending them to their new home, but I will not be able to be in direct contact with them. You are the only one I will be able to contact from here on." said the Watcher.

Hibiscus looked hesitant, but eventually he nodded slowly. "Alright.. I'll do my best." And with that, he faded away, sent along to join the others.

"Next time, make me less glowy. You can't even see me properly in the screenshots."

Yeah, yeah, I will.

[mr-bisk]

Fukkkkkk I want to spoil the surprises of my fics but i don't want to ruin them for who follows me on tumblr.... I guess fuk-ich, idk how to format a post, but it cant be that hard, am I Right!?

Spoilers and HC's under the cut:

Also TW: i can't continue w/o advising: if u got a cringe allergy, ingestion might block your throat. I don't want to kill anybody(yet) so maybe skip this one.

CW: Spoilers for the chapter amouts and last chapter; Transphobes DNI lol, I made all of them Queer and I'll die on this lane; Little Vents(more than one, kinda?); Mention of Fan-Childs.

First of all: The ending. The fanwork just will get 4 chaps cuz i can't drag stuff yet. To spoil the ending, Bill will have a panic attack upon not being able to avoid feeling queer at Josh's presence, gets a hold of his mother's whisky, drunkly and pathetically call Josh to come to his house and out of pity he will attend. They end up alone in Bill's room and end up kissing. It doesn't stop Josh from going to college, much for the opposite effect as he gets scared and confused, but plans to come back to Eltingville soon with a clearer mind.

Pete HC: 🅱️ete is transmasc, stealth-trans. His parents saw it coming from a young age and are actually supportive. They help him hide away his deadname and other stuff that would direct hate towards him. His dad loves having a male son that is interested in helping him with brute shit, although he doesn't endorse his interest in horror and nerd stuff, it is the exception.(also Jer knows his deadname as they are childhood frens.)

Jerry HC('s, theres A LOT of stuff): 1st, Jerry is transfem. 2nd, PeteJer is real. 3rd: I made BillJer virtually impossible timeline-wise bc Bill assumes himself as gay a little after Jer's Egg-Hatchin', also he has the fastest but most oblivios gaydar(maybe queer-dar, idk??) and never felt attracted to Jer.(also yeah, i hold a grudge for the flood of billjer we had when eltingville blew up. Like, Frrr? the whitest, most bland ship u cold think off got popular!?! No hate if u like it, theres loads of gr8 stuff under the umbrella, I'm just not kin.)

Vent: I still love eltingville, don't see the end off the brainstorm/interest flood on the horizon yet- ....Buuuuuut I can't hold myself from feeling like I'm making a disservice to the BillJosh tag. I just begun to write again and posted it on AO3 to prevent me from quitting, and The Damn™️, I feel like my work is meh at best. I'm a perfecctionist, and there are plans of it being re-written, so if u like it, hop in the future when i got enough EXP. and writing turned into a pleasure again.

Bacc to the fanfic. There will be at least 3 more projs. after I conclude this one: A continuation where Josh comes back to Eltingville to see Bill and ends up dragging him to Boston; A PeteJer bittersweet tale with two parts in which(as it is in my brain rn, change might come) mirrors the BillJosh plot, you'll have to wait to see; And a Jane-centered story BECAUSE I 💜 HER!!1!!

I.... Okay.... Last one. The cringiest and most personal yet: There will need to be a Miracle, a fucking change of heart of me to not put Fan-Childs at some point.... yeah. Look, I myself plan of becoming a Father/Ba irl and it pours in the way i see relationships. If thats a big ass No-Hell-No! to u, Maybe do not hop into the fishing line of my fanworks, because it is a big factor in the way i view it's development.

Essentials 2, 3 and 7 for Penelope, and Life 2, 3 and 8 for Sorcha? 😁

The Essential Penelope

What year were they born (or how old would they be in life), and what age do they appear? What age do they feel?

Penny was born in 1909, ghouled in 1948, and Embraced in 1959, just shy of her birthday. She looks late thirties - it's hard to imagine her not looking late thirties, in theory she must have been a child at some point, but she gives the impression that she plopped into the world at Cambridge aged twenty-two and nothing that came before particularly mattered.

She feels no age at all. Penelope is Penelope. Her sense of self is a bit ragged, underneath the iron confidence she projects, and she could be ninety or nine hundred: it wouldn't matter. She'd still be her. Whatever that means.

Which Clan do they belong to? How do they feel about their Clan?

Lasombra. Nominally, Lasombra antitribu, but which sense of the word is... up for debate. In the Sabbat, she was very much a "pack first, sect second, clan third" thinker - as far as she's concerned, all True Sabbat are antitribu and should be working on transcending the limitations of their bloodline, and the Panders who rise from mass Embraces are lucky to have a head start.

But... she still has a chip on her shoulder about it. She is of the bloodline of Montano, and she's been thoroughly taught what that means. An outcast's outcast, choosing the high and noble road, and she can't have that without being Lasombra, and she can't really dine out on it in the Sabbat either.

Which Disciplines do they possess, and which do they favor using?

Oblivion 3, Dominate 2, Celerity 1, and if I re-use her as an antagonist for another story, she'll have picked up some Potence and Animalism to go (and probably a bit more Oblivion). In her role as priestess and interrogator, she finds the applied theatricality of Oblivion suits her down to the ground, but in the field, she's more reliant on her Celerity and talent for stealth.

Getting a Life with Sorcha

Do they still have mortal family or friends, or descendants of those people? Who were they closest to during life, and is there anyone they’ve contacted after their Embrace?

Hell yes she does - she's a Dunsirn, she still lived with her folks for the first six months after she died. Besides her vampire da, Sorcha is still in touch with her mother in Venice, and most of the cousins she grew up with are at least on Instagram-commenting terms. Schoolfriends are fewer and further between - she's sold drugs to a lot of them but that doesn't mean they're friends. She has stayed in touch with Wee Tam, her tenant and bestie and Touchstone, and she rooms with a little gang of medical students who know her as their weird RA who lives in the cellar and can't go to lectures 'cause she's got Schere's Disease. On top of that, she has a lot of acquaintances - she's distinctive, she's out on the town at least three nights a week, and she's got the good molly.

What were their hobbies, skills, and interests?

Hmm, this is trickier - Sorcha tends to monetise anything she's good at - but she never figured out how to make money out of dance, or gymnastics. Her form's not great, but she's surprisingly bendy and she has a good time with it.

Her school reports indicated she had a prodigious knack for chemistry and design - the subjects she ended up taking to Bacc. level and walking out with a Distinction, thank you kindly.

She likes karaoke, but she has an awful singing voice, and has been gently dissuaded from participating.

When they were Embraced, what was the aftermath like? Did they fake their death, do their loved ones think they went missing, etc.?

Oh, Christ. Sorcha's Embrace was one of the events that kicked off a whole chronicle. She bled out on her junkie "boyfriend's" mattress, and was rescued by her dad, and she doesn't know which of them Embraced her or why she came out thinblood. All she knows is, Jimmy's very dead (he copped a hatchet to the back of the head two nights after she died), and to all intents and purposes she is Alistair's childe.

Her family knew, of course they knew - Hecata, remember? Most of her casual acquaintances have heard that she OD'd, and suspect that her dad had something to do with what happened to Jimmy, and that's another reason people from school don't stay too close to her - nobody wants to be next. She was back on the dancefloor by the end of the month though, bragging about her results and dancing her ass off... and then she really disappeared, leaving Glasgow for the best part of three years.

Her social media was deleted and remade a couple of times in there, she was posting from LA (except when she wasn't) and she went very #desertaesthetic for a while, then off the grid completely, but she seems to have come out swinging in the last eighteen months.

The thing is, people who know Sorcha know she's a freak, and a dealer, and that her dad's some sort of gangster. They're kinda used to weird shit happening around her. It's a big part of how she gets away with being like she is.

[melsie-sims]

I love your BACC so much I obsessively check your Tumblr to see when you've posted a new part of the story!

I started playing my own as well and was wondering how you do your rotations? Like settings and such. Also, how did you unlock Tarzan's store? Do you count it as a sim owned business even if it is just from the sales table?

Hey! Thank you so much, I'm so happy you're enjoying my content and finding inspo for your own gameplay!

I do 4-day rotations, which equals to one sim year. My lifespan is as such, if you want to know how I calculate that.

I have Neighborhood Stories completely disabled.

I have aging off and keep track of my sims' ages in my spreadsheet so I know what day to age them up on.

I have pregnancies paused for unplayed sims so if my sim gets pregnant when she's not an active sim then it won't progress until I'm playing her again.

Otherwise, I don't think I have any settings that impact my gameplay too much. Hope that helps!

As for your next question, Tarzan isn't just selling from a sales table, he has a cash register and everything. So yes I do count it as a sim-owned business. Same with Snow. She has a lot and a cash register, I just used the sales table for ~ aesthetics. But it's all legit!

hazeldine bacc 3-3 archmouth

last

new sim new sim !!

this is romeo archmouth , he's a hopeless romance sim and his traits are social butterfly, hopeless romantic, perceptive, evil, and irresistable

my idea for him is that he's evil but he does NOT play about his woman, since i have a spot in the criminal career open thats what hes going to >:)

romeo really liked la shawn cameron, which i totally get

his ltw is to do 100 paid makeovers so he wanted to get some practice in and .... he did the worst job possible

but afterwards he devoted his time to learning how to make beautiful wigs for her !!!

everytime i see this stupid painting i laugh , i was super high when he made it and when i first saw it i thought it was spectacular , like i was genuinely in awe over how amazing the painting was , i put in up on the wall and then i zoom in and see this LMFAOOAO

his secondary asp was fortune but i had him make it his main asp ( for rn) because i didnt want him gettin red memories from marrying la shawn

Round 9 - Winter - The Lopez Family

So, back to my BACC and onto Round 9 and it's the first ever Winter in Wildflats Peninsula! (Mainly because we've had eight rounds - 28 years - without a single cough or cold from this hardy, sun-kissed bunch, which means no chance for unlocking the Medicine career and thus no clinic. If I want to follow my rules strictly, my human same sex couples can't procreate without a clinic so I need some illnesses and a town doctor STAT!)

The new round also brings a new family - the Lopezes! The Lopez family is based on one from my previous BACC (the Martinez family). Their personalities and zodiacs etc. are basically the same but I've adjusted their faces in CAS so that (hopefully) they can have non-face 2 babies!

Their ROS roll is pretty much negligible as they don't have to pay tax this round. I may carry it over to next round if I remember, but it's only §100 so 🤷‍♀️

This is Horacio Lopez. He moved to Wildflats Peninsula with his wife to start their married life together. He was a bit annoyed when his sister-in-law came along too, but couldn't really say no!

Horacio's Traits Zodiac: Cancer Aspiration: Pleasure/Popularity LTW: Have 10 Dream Dates Personality: Neat 6, Outgoing 4, Active 5, Playful 4, Nice 6 Hobby: Tinkering (Restoring Cars) Sexuality: Straight Current Age: 33

Horacio's wife, Victoria Lopez (née Jackson), was excited to start their new life in Wildflats Peninsula. She had heard it was a good place to start a business and make new friends so she looked forward to the opportunities the new town would bring her.

Victoria's Traits Zodiac: Virgo Aspiration: Popularity/Family LTW: Have 10 Best Friends Personality: Neat 9, Outgoing 2, Active 6, Playful 3, Nice 5 Hobby: Nature (Flower Arranging) Sexuality: Straight Current Age: 27

Victoria's sister, Aaliyah Jackson, came along to Wildflats Peninsula in the hope that she could make her fortune there and find someone to love where the big city had so far let her down.

Aaliyah's Traits Zodiac: Virgo Aspiration: Fortune/Popularity LTW: Become The Law Personality: Neat 8, Outgoing 4, Active 5, Playful 4, Nice 4 Hobby: Science (Stargazing) Sexuality: Straight Current Age: 23

They will be living at 4 Birch Alley, a new house that has been constructed next to where Pietro Rossellini and Dudley Tomlinson are now living (in Mayor Jennifer's old house).

The ground floor has a small lounge area and a kitchen/diner. I moved the bookshelf after taking this picture as no one could access it.

Upstairs, there is a double bedroom, a nursery and a small bathroom.

The basement level has been converted into another double bedroom and bathroom. This will be Aaliyah's living space until she finds/needs a place of her own.

Welcome to the town, Lopezes!

Walden BACC

The party seemed to fizzle out before it even began.

Imogen: "I'm absolutely beat; sorry folks, I need a rest. Call me when the cake comes out, alright?"

Julius grunted something in agreement. Although they'd agreed to let the matter of the affair go, things were still somewhat awkward between them.

Fiona: "So, you already gave me the short version of what happened, but I'm going to need more details. Are mom and dad about to break up? Should I ready my Curse of Torment?"

Rowan: "They said they worked it out, but things are still kind of weird. I mean, it's Larkin. You know how Dad feels about her. As for mom...I dunno how she feels. I'm not sure she does either."

Fiona: "Perhaps I should ready that curse..."

Rowan: "Fiona!"

Fiona: "Fine. I'll talk to Dad instead."

Fiona: "You know, Dad, I simply love coming back home to find my family in the middle of fae-related drama. It reminds me of the good old days."

Julius: "I'm not happy about it either. Your mother and I are handling it though."

Fiona: "I hope so."

The implied threat was not lost on Julius, but he did not rise to the bait. That evening was supposed to be a joyful one, even if nobody seemed to act like it.

Brightshroom Islands, mark 2, end of the second year (8 seasons in)

Under a cut, for your convenience!

Yeah, we're done with spring of year 2, which marks the second anniversary of the bacc. According to hood checker, the hood is still healthy, so I made the low effort of posing the households for some family photos.

The O'Hannigan family (1)

From the left, Cash O'Hannigan, mayor extraordinaire and very very angry man since his husband cheated on him and the BEAT HIM UP, so now he walks around causing scandals by hitting on his married friends. Get it together, Cash. His husband Kevin also beat up some other people and that child out of wedlock meant he had committed three strikes and has become the first sim to go prison, where he will spent the next season getting to do absolutely nothing including talking to people as punishment. Cash is also holding his granddaughter Noelle. Next to him, Veronica, his daughter, stay at home mom, and her wife Ester Buckolz, manager of Freya's Frocks. Ester has a child with Veronica's sister Lysette, who is the blonde teenager to the right. Her name is Lin, and she's holding her little brother Percival. Dee Dee I love you for the toddler posebox.

The Buckolz family (1)

Shania Buckolz, town electrician and Architect, and her wife Carolina. This is also their youngest daughter Nessa, who runs the electronics store, and her husband Valère Atterberry, and their newborn baby Cassandra. Valère is currently unemployed, but takes care of the baby until a job opens up. There is a big unemployment crisis at the moment, and he's not the top priority.

The Werther Family

The current state of the family, which literally just changed is about to change as soon as the round starts on their lot, but here we go:

Margareta Werther and her aging wife Chloe. Margareta is the town carpenter, and will be leaving her shop, Werther's Toys, to her son Ismael ( to the right), who is currently working at Freya's Frocks. Ismael is engaged to Diana Leighton, and also have triplets with Hamid Atterberry but despite my best efforts, they had no desires to get together as adults, so the kids will be moving back and forth every other season. Ernst (left) snagged a job in politics. He had a kid with mayor Cash's husband, so that's awkward, but little Britta is not pictured here. I have no current relationship plans for Ernst, but he doesn't seem very unhappy about that. In Chloe's lap is Chris, a kid Chloe and Margareta both had adoption wants for. Margareta is younger than the other founders due to having been dead and resurrected after her pregnancy didn't end well. Chloe was a chef for a while, but recently got fired. Oh well. The shop is doing well and she was needed during the toddler hell that was triplets.

The Atterberry family (1)

From the left, Jie Atterberry, former art store owner and current layabout, his husband Robert, who works in business, and then their daughter Niamh, with wife Cybelle O'Hannigan. Cybelle and Niamh were natural three bolters since their first day of teenhood, and together they have a daughter named Valeriana, not pictured because baby. Niamh runs the Art Store, and Cybelle has chosen a life of crime.

The Kohout family

I realized that while Freya should've aged up, I must have forgotten to do so, but here she is, the town seamstress and owner of Freya's Frocks, and her husband, crime lord Gordon. They have three children, Georgiana who has flown the coop, and their two boys, teenaged Abraham and little Erik.

I love Freya's face so much, and I regret not marrying here to a sim with a more interesting face.

The Leighton family

Indiana Leighton, seated, struggling artist and his wife, teacher Brenda, had four daughters. Blondie there is Diana who is engaged to Ismael Werther and will be getting married to him at the start of the next round. She's currently unemployed but is trying to work in the medical field. Jillian, the redhead, recently married childhood sweetheart Georgiana Kohout, chef. They have a teenaged daughter (sitting in her grandfather's lap) named Madge from a teen pregnancy, and recently added Eufemia to the family, but she is not pictured. Never work with animals or babies.

Those are the founding families, but there're more households of course because gen 2 is now adult and breeding on their own.

Buckolz 2

I didn't even question the choice not to pose the entire family here. Ivan Buckolz, blonde, is the manager of Werther's Toys. His husband, Nicholas, is a stay at home parent right now, which was 100% necessary after they had a set of quads. All girls: Anastazia, Corinne, Hilda, and Lynda. They're currently toddlers so you can imagine how much fun I have playing their house at the moment. Things will calm down in a day or two though.

O'Hannigan2

This group of sims are still staying together, somehow, but I could afford an addition to their house, so baring multiple births, they might stay that way. This is Alfred O'Hannigan, manager of Buckolz' Electronics. He is engaged to Livia Leighton, who also works at that shop, but since their engagement they've given me no signs that they're even into each other, so that might go nowhere. If it does, I'm letting Alfred cry out in the arms of Ernst Werther, his old boyfriend. Blonde on the right is Livia's little sister Shiobhan Leighton, and her wife, alien townie Diane, and their son Bob. As you can see Shiobhan is also pregnant again. Because Shiobhan married a townie, she only needs to have two kids, but Livia and Alfred, being both playables since birth, need at least three, for the hood to keep growing, so they need to get on with it, honestly.

Atterberry family (2)

Here is Hamid Atterberry, stay at home dad, and his recent wife Lysette O'Hannigan. Lysette also has a teenaged daughter named Lin, who lives with her other mom this coming round, and Hamid's three sons with Ismael Werther have moved in instead: Aiden, Valentine and Filémon. Lysette works as a teacher, and the couple recently welcomed twins Lena and Alaric into their family. I think that's enough kids, but being both family sims, they might have other plans.

SCORECARD

It's going pretty well. Three available lot points, and money to build a City hall, and renovate the school, as well as three available jobs (all three have individual requirements though so not anyone can take them). Sim multiplier is six, and lot multiplier is 2, with a current population of 312.
