Spoiler:

The aliens did not bother to ask.

I agree with LuckyDuck, though, the screenshots are very well composed.

Hi all! I've showed these off in the Discord a bit, but I figured I should probably put them here too. These are some builds I'm doing for my Oceanview BACC, to make it look as much like a real city as possible. I also plan on uploading them once I figure out how to do that. Is this partially a bid ...

As an LGBTQIA+ Simmer myself, I felt I had to pitch in here. Time for screenshots! https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/snarkbotanya/76935980/332509/332509_original.jpg Yvonne Ferreira (left, blonde) and Lillian Newton (right, redhead) from my Oceanview BACC are the city's first married LGBTQIA+ couple. ...

It's back! Yay! I am so glad I didn't go for Family Breed in my Uglacy. Dealing with the Household of No Nice Points is tricky enough already. Louise's sunburn looks like pink spray paint... *snicker* Gotta love how the one Romance SIm in the household immediately hands the baby off to the rest of '...

Round 3 Bellamy link was broken for me too.

So, because I'm a complete crazy person who can't stop starting projects, I've been thinking about making some custom careers lately. I know my way around SimPE pretty well, so I don't think I'll have trouble creating them, but I figured I might as well workshop the ideas a bit before really jumping...

Oooh, more chapters! Yay! I wish I could pump out Oceanview chapters this quickly... curse my need to make complex builds and then be all long-winded in the actual posts... QUADS in the Lee family? QUADS? Holy crap! At least it looks like you got some more redheads, though; it's nice to get some var...

You can add as many community lots as you like, but they don't count for anything until a) a Sim buys them or b) you unlock them as an NPC community lot. Though I'm a little fuzzy on whether a business has to stay owned to continue counting. New house rule proposal: businesses still count if the own...

I just got a pair of natural twins in my game, at first I was like nonononono! I only wanted one baby, but natural non trips and quads twins are so rare for my game. What's it like to play with the Trips and Quads mod? I don't have it myself (because frankly, four toddlers is probably more than I c...

Anya - I seriously bow down to your business skills! I mostly sit there and tear my hair out when it comes to businesses. And I can never seem to get one to level 10, so hopefully this BaCC will be the game changer. I'm flattered, but don't be fooled... it takes a while, and the only reason I haven...

2. For retail stores, keep the store small and use playable family members for employees. It can be done to rank 10 with just 2 Sims. If you keep it small. Seconded. Heck, if you micromanage really, really hard, it's possible to do it with one. 5. I would advise not doing a restaurant as one of you...

Tips? Hmmmm... I guess my strategy is pretty much as follows... 1) Having kids right away is great for Family Sims, but kind of meh for everyone else. Making sure your Sims are financially established before having a family leads to fewer Social Worker visits. Getting your Sims to earn craploads of ...

New chapter is up! Oceanview just got some immigrants from my Veronaville playthrough.

I don't use ACR... I just go by a) what my Sims roll wants for and b) how many children they seem like they should want based on their personality in my head. For instance, Estella and Mark Greene seem like a "three kids" couple to me, while the Newton-Ferreiras are more "Adopt! IVF! ...

Fast updates are fun! "This woman shows up at businesses, tanks everybody’s stars by insulting them and shoving them, and leaves. She reminds me of me." I LOL'd so hard at that. XD "Six businesses in one household would probably be overkill." Tell that to Victoria Star... I doubt...

I think your link's a little broken... it's taking me to Week 1. I managed to find Week 2, though.

Oooh, new BACC! With an alien founder, too! I love it! Aliens are kind of my favorite. Even when they're horrifying monstrosities and possible serial killers like my current Uglacy heir. RIP Christopher Lee... he was a genuine, certified badass. "Fish and Chips" and "Space, Idaho"...

If you ever decide to upload houses, I think I would download them all. I still haven't really figured out uploading things, but as soon as I do, I'll put up some of the buildings from Oceanview, as well as the neighborhood terrain file for anyone who wants to play around with that. (Fun fact: I or...

Anne, Avenie, Scribal_Goddess: thanks for the feedback! Putting a price tag on it sounds fair, though I might make it free for the scientist/doctor and their household, while other Sims have to pay them. Another thing I've been thinking of is adding an extra restriction on apartments; that is, I'm n...

At long last, we have Chapter 9: Alienception.

Here's a little meme-ified sneak preview...
