TS2- BaCC Reamon: From Another World

Build a City Challenge Reamon House Chapter 1.1: From Another World

Since they had experience with harsh environments Nebula and Jupiter Curious were recruited to move to Westwyvern.

First Nebula left.

Then Jupiter.

It was night when they arrived at this strange place.

Soon 2 sims arrived.  Juan Reamon and Sharlene Royce.  They were told that they were to marry them.

First Jupiter marries Juan.

Then Nebula marries Sharlene.

But this chapter is about Jupiter and Juan.  The house is by Plasticbox.

They started dancing shortly after moving in and I thought it would be cool if Jupiter opened a dance studio since she has to open a business.  Juan wants to top the adventurer career and I need a museum for that.  So until then he will fish for money and Jupiter will increase her music and dance hobby.

Everyone in the welcome wagon was from my other houses.  For some reason Sharla didn't look pregnant even though she did the pregnant walk.

Jupiter and Juan wouldn't even sleep in the same bed together.  When she wouldn't accept one of his flirts he went into aspiration failure.

That didn't last long.  Since Juan is a family sim he wanted a baby.  I am to have them try once a day.  They got preggo on the first try.

I was so worried about money and it turned out Juan had all this junk in his inventory.

Jupiter was huge pregnant.

Baby girl Isis is born.  She looks just like Mom.

So I was messing with my laptop cord and not paying attention and they whoohoo'd all by themselves and got pregnant again!


After I made this chapter my laptop died and my desktop needs replaced so there won't be any updates until I get a new PC.

TS2- BaCC Bellamy 1.1: Robot Master and the Cop

Build a City Challenge Bellamy House Chapter 1.1: Robot Master and the Cop

So here they are Zeke and Sharla Bellamy.  Zeke had just aged to teen in the apocalypse neighborhood so they're the same age.  I figured at first all it would be between them was noogies.  I was wrong.  Okay, Sharla's ltw is to be the top of the Law Enforcement track.  All I need is one more fire and she can get into that career.  Zeke wants to marry off 6 children!  Whew.  So as the rules state I set the ACR to always try for baby but they have to either get a want for a baby or autonomously whoohoo.

Erm yea.  I figured they wouldn't autonomously whoohoo until they were adults.  I was wrong.  Sooo she's pregnant!  Shortly after getting pregnant she rolled the want for a baby, lol.

Okay so Zeke, according to the rules, is supposed to be a farmer.  But the thought of playing 2 farmers in a row each rotation sounded horribly boring.  Zeke will not only bring forth baybees he will make at least one servo household!  Yay!

Umm did you know those could catch on fire?  Yay 3 fires!  Sharla gets her job!  LMAO at the stray dog to the left of the house.

Welcome to Westwyvern baby boy Beau.

ZOMG they did it again!  And, shortly after she rolled the want for a baby.  Silly teens.

Lastly I have for you Beau aged to toddler.  He's stuck in that snazzy suit because there is no clothing store.

TS2- BaCC Inada 1.1: Farming at Night

Build a City Challenge Inada House Chapter 1.1: Farming at Night

Finally I get to do something about Nerissa's looks!  I've been seeing her around town all week looking like this and it drove me nuts.

She cleans up pretty good.
Notice that while I was playing with Nerissa Lukas was not in a coffin for the day.  OMG  His needs were all red!

Lukas starts his garden with tomato plants.

I have no idea why he was even cooking but I'm glad he did!  One more fire and I open up a Law Enforcement career.

The garden is actually twice this size now but I didn't want to be repetitive with the garden posts.  He now has a gold talent badge.

They did it all by themselves.  Gotta love ACR, there's a little vampy on the way!

TS2- BaCC Rauscher 1.1: My Store Sucks!

Build a City Challenge Rauscher House Chapter 1.1: My Store Sucks!

Here's the inside of Lina's house.  It's the exact same one as Edric's, I just changed the color-scheme.

If she gets pregnant by risky pregnancy the guy moves in so I thought what the heck and picked this random guy that had been walking by the house and made friends with him.

She takes out a whopping $16,000 loan to afford this money-pit.  It's called Get Your Body In Shape.  Real original, I know.  I couldn't think of any names, lol.

Here's the outside of the money-pit.  I ended up selling some of the stuff and buying a bubble blower hoping it would make sims stay but it's not working.  They pay, run on the treadmill for a few minutes and leave.  They don't even get stinky.

Lina meditates between selling tickets to customers.  It keeps her needs from dropping.

She spent Saturday and Sunday with this guy Peter Sims.  Even though they don't seem to have any chemistry she met him at the store and kept flirting with him so I figured why not.  No risky baby yet.  Although at this point I have no idea how I would care for a baby and run the money pit.

Yesss my first fire!  2 more and someone can go into law enforcement.

TS2- BaCC Parker 1.1: Golden Fisherwoman

Build a City Challenge Parker House Chapter 1.1: Golden Fisherwoman

So this is Jada's little hut.  At first she had to take out a loan for $3,000 to afford it but then re-reading the rules I saw that the price of the hacked computer is reimbursed to the sim.  That darn computer was $2,800 so she was able to pay the loan off.  With all the fishing she did this week she earned a gold talent badge and a nature plaque and put $3,400 into a deposit account to save for a bigger house.  She tried to seduce this guy that had come with the welcoming wagon that she made friends with but it didn't work.  Her lifetime wish is to whoohoo 20 different sims.  I plan to do so.

Here's the inside of the hut.  I had to replace the CC bed and uni-fridge that I had in there originally because she couldn't sleep in the bed and she couldn't make hot dogs with the fridge.

Hotdogs rotisserie style.

Oh my gosh when Edric walked by in that leotard I almost died!  I have to change his workout clothes when I get to his house.

Coudrec Chapter 1.1: Golden Salesman

TS2- BaCC Couderc 1.1: Golden Salesman

Build a City Challenge Couderc House Chapter 1.1: Golden Salesman

Edric catching butterflies at his new house.  I built the house all the way to the right of the lot in case the sim moving in would be a farmer and need the extra land.  But Edric rolled businessman.

Here's the inside of the house.  Much better than Jada's but pretty basic.

Edric uses the Hacked computer to take out a loan for the $12,000 additional he needs to buy the business I built for him.

Here it is.  Once again, very basic.  It doesn't even have lights or windows.  I thought of doing an outside type thing but it looked goofy.  It's called Braaaains Produce.

Here's the exterior.  I thought the paint I put up was yellowy but it ended up really ugly, I need to change it.

I always get a kick out of seeing one of my sims out and about.  I really need to change her hair and outfit!  By the end of the week Edric had a gold sales badge and a bronze cashier badge.  He's still $10,000 in debt from buying the store.  It's also hard to keep him there for just 8 hours when there's potential sales in the store.  One day I wasn't paying attention and it ended up being 14 hours!

TS2- Build a City Challenge: The Beginning!

Okay, after finishing the Apocalypse Challenge I felt lost.  I wanted a challenge similar but what I found is much more.  This challenge is insane.  I will be playing the challenge according to iCad's "Rule Additions".  As if this challenge needed more rules.  The Mod The Sims thread can he found here.  The rules are here.  The rule additions can be found here.

I will be using an empty map made by josheo360 found here.
I will be using a populated university made by Peni Griffin found here.
I will be setting up Belladonna Cove as my downtown but sorry I didn't save the dl link.
I am also replacing the regular townie pool with those by Queen of France found here.

After entering all the available NPC, Playables and Townies into the spreadsheet I have 150 available women and 125 available men.  Boy does my arm hurt.

Okay, so I rolled 5 and am allowed 5 founders.  Since the Apocalypse neighborhood is so good at rebuilding the powers that be decided that the 5 founders would be teens from that neighborhood.  I used SimPe to extract their likenesses and wrote down their age, skills, ect.

The BaCC neighborhood is Westwyvern.  A plague wiped out the entire population.  It's up to these 5 teens to re-build what was once a great community.

First to leave the Apocalypse neighborhood are the Rauscher twins.  Lina will stay human, will not marry unless a sim gets her pregnant, will run a business and will start with $16,000.

Lukas will be turned into a vampire, he will marry a pre-selected sim, he will be a farmer and will start with $23,000 plus whatever his wife brings in.

Jada Parker was the next to leave.  I didn't get a pic of her because I was trying to get Jihoon to pick the baby up off the road.  Jada will stay human, she will not marry unless a sim gets her pregnant, she will be a fisher and she will only start with $3,000.

Zeke Bellamy left next.  He will stay human, he will marry a pre-selected sim, he will be a farmer and he will start with $27,000 plus whatever his wife brings in.

Edric was the last to leave the Apocalypse neighborhood.  Edric will be turned into a zombie... ironically, he will not marry, he will run a business and he will start with $17,000.

Everyone arrives at the meeting place.  
(Once their adult "escorts" are taken care of.)

A wild looking woman in a lab coat named Nerissa Inada and a child named Sharla Ottomans appear.  The child is automatically aged into a teen.

Before becoming a vampire Lukas marries Nerissa.  She brings in an additional $18,000.
(Zeke and Sharla got married as well and she brought in $3,000 but I somehow didn't take a pic!)

And so the rotation begins with these 5 houses.
