thanks so much for the challenge, am really enjoying building my city. My question's about CAS points. A Resident Sim impregnated his wife who's not in world. I plan to move the family of three in with the resident once the twins are children (just tired of managing infants). I know I'll need a CAS point for the mum/wife. Do I also need them for the kids? We don't usually need CAS points for babies but it seems a little different if they aren't born in-round.

Hi! Sorry for the slow responds!

But I would say just 1 CAS point for the mom. I understand the pain of baby/infant/toddler caring pain haha. Just make sure that what ever they got in skills or aspiration is reasonable to include in the BACC progress. Best to use your judgment on that matter. Hope that this helps and I wasn't too late with responding.

Have a nice day and happy simming! -Daisy

Hi! Thank you so much for this challenge! I love it and it's the only challenge that I play for about 8 years for now.

I just wanted ask if you have plans to update the rules for the Lovestruck EP?

Hi!

Happy to hear you enjoy the challenge!

I am planning on updating it. I just haven't played in a while (due to personal circumstances) and need to check the new additions to the game to see what needs to be added and/or change. I estimate it being done and out before the end of November. Sorry for the delay!

Also if you, or anyone else that is playing BACC, have suggestions on new or updated rules please let me know!

Have a nice day and happy simming! -Daisy

Yay! I just wanted to thank you for maintaining this challenge- I was so downcast when the version I found wasn't updated! I'm gonna give it a shot!

Hi!

No problem! I'm sorry it took awhile to update! Have fun with it and I would like to hear how it goes, if you have ideas or need more information!

Rule update Horse Ranch, For Rent and Home Chef Hustle

This update has taken awhile to get out, I've explained why earlier. But here we are! It's for 2 expansions and a stuff pack!

Horse Ranch (HR)

Chestnut Ridge can be used as a starting world but then the second world is unlocked once you’ve completed the Championship Rider Aspiration. Otherwise it will be a default world and if you want to unlock it later it will depend how many worlds you have unlocked. See the new world section in this part of the rules.

Horse competitions is unlocked with Chestnut Ridge and Townies

New option to unlock the Bar -Have at least ten sims aged teen and above living in your town AND -Reach the top of the mixologist career branch or Completed Expert Nectar Maker Aspiration

For Rent (FR)

Tomarang can only be unlocked as the third world or later. It can’t be the starting or second world! Otherwise it will be a default world.

And because of this San Myshuno can only be unlocked as the forth world or later.

Residential rental - May be used after unlocking the third world. Handyperson - Level 10 Handiness Skill

Home Chef Hustle (HCH)

New option to unlock the Restaurant -Level 10 Culinary - Chef Career or Level 10 three cooking-related Skills or Completed Appliance Wiz aspiration

If I missed something please let me know. Or if you have other Ideas! I haven't really played much of the new packs yet so there might still be some extra updates but for now I’ll update the spreadsheet and the complete rule page later today! 

[ts4-bacc]

This is such a fun challenge! I have a question about opening the worlds with special unlocks - is the special unlock enough on its own, or do I also need to have the space created by unlocked the lots / fabulously wealthy?

Hi!

I'm happy to hear you find it a fun challenge! I think so too:p

For a short answer: No! The special unlock is enough to unlock the world.

For the longer answer: Before you unlock the special worlds you should have at least have opened up the 2nd world. Be it the normal way, 4 community lots, or your starting world separate rules for unlocking the 2nd. Then you can pick one of the default worlds for the 2nd and use the special unlocks to directly open up those. Example: I picked Sulani as starting world. I haven't done the unlocks for the second world yet (level 10 in the conservationist career, the island has been restored to its full glory and baby sea turtles have hatched) But I did have an Alien abduction resulting in pregnancy so I should have Strangerville unlocked. But due to not having unlocked my 2nd world I can't use it yet. So once I unlock the 2nd world I can pick a default world and use Strangerville as well.

Hope it makes sense! And that it will help!

Any Horse Ranch update? 🙏

Hi!

Again been in the ask box for awhile but I can now finally say it's this week! Sorry again for it being so so long! Along with the other packs that came out!

Have a nice day and Happy simming! -Daisy

[ts4-bacc]

Hi. I'm thinking of trying out the legacy style BACC. When the family collect enough CAS points does that mean whoever I move in with those CAS points can contribute to unlocking things too even if I move them on to their own lot? Or do the unlocks have to be the starter family only? Thanks.

Hi!

This has been in the ask box for awhile now and I have responded privately already but I also wanted to post the answer for the others that might have the same question! So here we go! In the rules it says: If you decide to play ‚legacy style‘, i.e. only one family, the founder/heir or another family member must meet the individual requirements listed below unless otherwise stated. In that case, the perk stays unlocked even after the ‘unlockee’ dies. Other families (both “townies”, once unlocked, and families moved in by gaining CAS points) can be interacted with and moved into the legacy household, for example as spouses. Once they moved in they can contribute to unlocking things, but previously gained skills etc. don’t count.

This means you can move in more sims in the world with the cas-points but they only "unlock" things once they have moved into the legacy household. Anything they got before moving in doesn't count. So only if they are in the active household. BUT! It would be you're BACC so please play and move rules around as you see fit! For example: If you play multiple households in a legacy family I would say it would work as well. You have to see it as only actively played can unlock stuff. But if they are just in the world as a new number to the worlds population or to be a spouse of a spare on a different lot you don't work on, then it shouldn't count. Or you can play one household in legacy style and then switch to a new household when/if you get bored of the one you have been playing with and make that the active household. As stated earlier, feel free to change it up in how you see fit! It's always lovely to see how others find solutions and if you'd like I can even add stuff to the BACC page!

This was sort of a summery of the private answer I gave way earlier. But I hope it helped and will help others now in the future!

I'm trying to push it out this week. But I'll be honest, it'll be out in the first week of the new year. This week has been so busy with Christmas prep, the little one school Christmas stuff and a lot of working. I did put some things on paper tho so know I'm trying:p

Quick update on updates

Hi! I'm sorry for being MIA. I'm trying to get on it asap but it will take a longer then thought and still it might be longer then even that. I've got a lot going on IRL so yeah... not gonna get into that here to much but will do a post about that on my own page soon. Just wanted to let you all know that I haven't forgotten and I will do a update! I just need more time. Sorry...

My goal is to do the update for both horse ranch and for rent before the end of the year.

Looking forward to the Horse Ranch update, but understand that might take a while. Any hint on whether or not Chestnut Ridge will be a default world? Am starting a new BACC soon and wondering if its the right NEIGHborhood to move my starters into, lol

Hi!

Yeah it might take a little. I'll be on vacation and want to play a little of the pack to see how and what. But for now I think you should look at cottage living. I think the world will be a normal start but the second world unlock might be a aspiration from the pack. The rest I haven't even looked at... sorry! But if you have ideas or if anyone else has ideas please share them:)

I'll try to get to it after vacation! Hope this helped at least a little and I can't wait to see you new bacc!

Rule update Growing Together

The update isn’t big since there wasn’t much to unlock but there are some things and we have the infants now as well also in the base game! And a little clarification on CAS-points.

Growing Together (GrT)

San Sequoia - Set it as a default world. This mean you can start it normally and follow the Normal start. If you want to unlock it later it will depend how many worlds you have unlocked. See the New world section in this part of the rules

Recreation center - Have unlocked the Gym, Arts center and have Nanny/Daycare unlocked

Ageing up traits

With the coming of infants, toddlers aren't the first stage anymore for which you can pick a trait. Before toddlers always got a random trait because of it. But this is going to change to infant. So... - Infant trait is always random. - Toddler trait able to choose if they get a top-notch-infant trait otherwise it has to be random. - Child trait able to choose if you get the Happy Toddler/Top-Notch-Toddler trait otherwise it has to be random. - Teen trait able to choose if you get an A as a child in school. - Young Adult trait able to choose if you get an A as a teen in school.

CAS-points / moving in new sims

I had to clarify this a little since it wasn’t really clearly described. I hope it makes more sense now! How to get them:

A sim get to level 10 Charisma and doesn't use it to open something else up

A new Community lot is unlocked

A sim Opens a Store/Vet/Restaurant (+2 extra for Legacy) 

How to use them:

You can use them right away or safe them up to move in a family or multiple sims at a time.

You can also marry townies and move them in with your played sims once you unlocked townies, increasing your population that way. However, skills, career progress or other achievements those townies made prior to moving them in does not count towards unlock requirements. (Former) Townies also can’t contribute to unlocking things, unless a CAS point is spent on them when they move into an active household. You may decide this on a case-by-case basis. So Townie A may be “just” a spouse with the soul purpose of helping bring the next generation in the world, while Townie B is moving in after a CAS point has been spent on them, being a full resident and unlocking things in their own right.

[ts4-bacc]

Hi there! ♡ Will you be updating the rules again following the infant update and release of Growing Together?

Hi! Yes! I have some of the rule update ready and typed out. I just need to play a little bit and see if it's okay. Also still thinking about the recreation center I don't know about that yet, I mean I have an idea but not sure yet. So if you have ideas they are welcome!

Then I'll update the spread sheet and update the rule page. And then I'll post the Rule Update post. So I think it will be within 2 weeks that I've done it! Hope that's enough information right now! Have a nice day and Happy simming! -Daisy

Rule update High School Years

Here the updates for High School Years and an extra of the afterschool activities of the other packs as well.

High School Years (HYS)

Copperdale - Is a special world. You can unlock it by Unlocking the Highschool lot. Because this is the only world that can have the high school. This means you can’t use it as a starting world. Social Bunny & Trendi - Can be used after you unlock both Electricity and Townies. Auditorium - Is unlocked with Copperdale High school - Have 5 teens get an A in high school (Rabbit hole version) and have someone in the Education - Professor Career Thrift and Bubble Tea store - Have unlocked the Café and Level 3 Simfluencer part time career Simfluencer - Level 5 Entrepreneur Skill Video game streamer - Level 10 Video gaming skill

Afterschool Activities 

Since this pack got a lot of new afterschool activities I took a look at them and there are already some in the other packs. They didn’t have any rules yet but they should. All Afterschool Activities need to have Clubs unlocked. Then all need different “adult experience” to help. The adults don’t go but the idea is they will help them out. Scouts (S) - Have a YA/A/E sim with the outdoorsy lifestyle and someone in the Conservationist career Drama club (GF) - Have someone in the Actor career E-sports competitor (DU) - Have University and someone in the Tech Guru - E-sport gamer career Soccer team player (DU) - Have University and someone in the Athletic career Cheer team member (HSY) - Have Copperdale and someone in the Athletic career Chess team member (HSY) - Have Copperdale and someone in the scientist career or astronaut career Computer team member (HSY) - Have Copperdale and someone in the Programmer career Football team member (HSY) - Have Copperdale and someone in the athletic career

As you see there are multiple ones that need someone in the Athletic career. They all need a different sim in the career.

If I missed something please let me know. Or if you have other Ideas! I’ll update the spreadsheet and the complete rule page later today! 

[ts4-bacc]

Just wanted to give you all a update about the update. I started to work on it today and there is a lot. The world will be a special world and the after school activities (incl scouts, drama, soccer and e-sport from previous packs) are most likely gonna get a new section of rules. But I'm not sure of it all yet.

-Daisy

Just wanted you all to know that I'm looking at everything new and how to implement it in the bacc rules. But this could take a while because its a large updat/pack and I first need to see how it works in game and I'll be on vacation the week after it comes out.

So a update will come but please give me a bit of time.
