Well done, more population and business.

[katrisims]

Played the Outside household this weekend. Mom Ciel became a business tycoon on Tuesday, and their daughter Mina, a recent college grad, bought a kitchen supply store, making it the 100th community lot in Mesa Vista. Her brother Neil headed off to University, almost permaplat from lifetime aspiration (my first). I found three more households with boys almost ready for Uni so I can play them all together in a dorm rather than them establishing a fraternity.

Population is now 9676!

100 community lots? Wow, that's a LOT. Congrats, that's quite the achievement in itself, and the population is impressive too!

I was thinking about that and thought it seemed high, but then I remembered Agatha Crystalbotham owns 40 of them, and they will probably never be seen or played.
Since I'm back in the BaCC groove again, I'll be doing quite a bit of population boosting behind the scenes (I'm look at you, green energy Servos! Although we won't see the effects of that until Week 7).

I'm back!!!

My computer broke, and I lost Silver Bend and Binsonville. I'm really sad about losing them, but excited to start a new project. I started Sparks Grove and played the first house. It's so nice to be playing again, I had to spend a week putting together my downloads folder lol.

I made two families and played the single adult's first week. She managed to make a little farm and get married. They had their first child right before midnight on Sunday. I concentrated on building their house and didn't purchase a community lot just yet.

Sorry about your computer and losing some of your old stuff. But yah to a new B.A.C.C.

[Bouncer]

Oh wow, hearing both BACCs having died is terrible. But now I'm curious how you have Sim 2 working on a new computer. I haven't been able to get Sims 2 going on my computer for a while now... Probably because I have the UC download but at least I can play later games.

[peachy123uk]

There are ways your can digital download sims 2 there is a site on Facebook called Sims 2 and it has everything you need to help you download it.

[Pony]

I was thankfully able to just download and play. I did have to turn off my shadows to not have the black box under the sims issues.

I'm debating if I want to add more in sims in next round, Sparks technically doesn't have the points, but I've been making sims in bodyshop.

Your game your rules play you the way you want

[Pony]

I did manage to open up a business and get the CAS point I needed. I made a new sim and attempted to make my catahoula puppy. He didn't turn out half bad.

Lorin, your progress is amazing!!

I've been playing a bit again lately. I just had fun with the wedding of the 3rd gen heir of my second family! I didn't make lots of new businesses in the last couple rotations because I was feeling overwhelmed with kids and careers, but now I have many freshly adult spares that I don't plan on giving families. My plan, then, is to have a few small, kidless households that are doing the bulk of the businesses going forward.

One thing I'm having fun with is my asylum lot... my original playable Sim just turned into an elder, and she's been slapping and fighting people on my business lots, causing loss of stars, so I'm going to punish her by making her a patient now, too. I moved in a freshly adult spare to replace her. I "graduate" out a random (or my favorite) patient and add one amenity (like one more chair) every time the playable maxxes a career (which is relatively often, since they're college graduates), but I add patients randomly, as well! There are now 11 patients for the 1 playable Sim. Hehehehe!

Another thing I'm excited about is my original family, which I think of as a legacy. The 4th gen heir will do university this rotation, and then the 5th gen will arrive next round! There is a 5th gen kid already elsewhere in the family tree, due to some PlantSim ancestors + woohoo promiscuity in my vampire woohoo den lot. I might have her intentionally taken away and adopted by one of her dad's cousins, because that lot is terrible for children. Her townie dad died of starvation because he was the only nonvampire and I ignored him.

Wow, Chase, you already have 4 generations? That's so cool!

My 2nd generation is in various stages between toddlerhood and graduating Uni or becoming adults. No 3rd generation yet.

I'm halfway through Week 6 (not Week 5 like I previously posted) and added some more businesses: Gearheads Garage owned by Ethan Korben who just aged to adult, Andi's Pottery Palace owned by Andrea Jayapalan (Nicole Outside's Uni sweetheart), and Enchanted Florist owned by new household Maria Johnson. Maria moved in Duncan Rogers who lied about having a lot of money and brought in just §3K, but he's a very nice Family Sim who had a good job in Education but wants to be Captain Hero, so we forgave him.

Population now sits at 14151. (I have 10 Business Tycoons lined up so far for Week 7 + 103 earned CAS, which brings the potential population to 36418.)

Spoiler:

Everybody is doing so well

[madeinsixam]

I'm glad to see everyone's doing well, especially after the loss of two BACCs earlier in the thread.

I've been really busy at work and I'm exhausted, but I love BACCs so I'll have to read these when things get easier. Something to look forward to!

I wish I could start a BACC but I already have a multi-generational hood I play rotationally, I don't think I could manage another. Maybe one day...
