Crimson Falls BACC - Week 6: Dorrestein II

Last week, Simon Dorrestein (Jurriaan and Emmy's son) graduated from college. He met his fiancée Ellie de Lange at Mauve University.

Simon bought a nice house for himself. This one was also built by my wife, who loves to build houses for my Sims.

He ran out of money before furnishing the whole house, but he got all the essentials.
I love how you can see all the houses, it's really starting to feel like a small town! A lot of them don't have Sims living in them yet.

First things first: Simon immediately invited Ellie over.

He asked her to move in with him, so she grew into an adult.

Here she is after a little makeover. She's a 5/3/7/3/7 Pisces, a Fortune/Pleasure Sim with the LTW to become Game President.

Simon's LTW is to top the Athletics career, but that one isn't unlocked yet. So he looks for another job and decides to enroll in the Slacker career, which has one position open. Because of his college degree, he is able to start at level 6.

Right after accepting the job, he went to work. He had a good chance card and came home with a promotion to level 7! That's a great start of this week.

He and Ellie celebrated his promotion right away, thanks to ACR.

Ellie also rolled the want to get a job, but there isn't enough money to buy all the essentials to enroll in the Gamer career yet. She decided to go for a temporary career in Music, where she started at level 2.

They had a simple wedding, both in their pajamas, because with all this ACR WooHoo I wouldn't want to risk them having a baby without getting married first (I allowed unmarried try for baby). I wasn't attached to Ellie's last name, so it would be fine if their future children have Simon's last name.

Simon got the Slacker career reward, and he loves it.

I quickly turned jealousy off when I saw this. Simon's secundary aspiration is Romance, and when Marsha Bruinig walked by he started flirting with her while Ellie was in the same room, reading a book.

Dude, seriously? You just got married.

Simon did some financial consulting. With the money both he and Ellie had earned, they already bought the expensive computer and an arcade game (which I put in Ellie's inventory). They need a pinball machine and the video game console in order for Ellie to enroll in the Gamer career.

Simon kept rolling WooHoo-related wants, both for Ellie and Marsha - who he invited over when Ellie was at work. Oh boy.

Ellie got promoted, went right back to work and got promoted again. She's now at level 4 of the Music career. With the money she earned, they bought a pinball machine (which is also in her inventory). All they need now is the video game console!

I actually was planning on them having a succesful career first, before they would start having kids. But ACR keeps them trying for baby.

And this was the result.

The pregnancy was quite rough on Ellie.

Simon's looking quite angry, but he actually was thrilled: he got a §75,000 bonus due to a good chance card and got promoted to level 8!

 Pop!

Burglars don't scare me anymore now that alarms are unlocked, but I still don't like them.

Luckily, the cops came by real quick and nothing was stolen.

Ellie was quite shocked, though: she immediately went into labour!


They had a little boy: Hunter.

The next morning, Ellie found an opening in the Gamer career. With Simon's bonus they were able to buy the console, so all requirements were met. She could start at level 5 right away.

They also used the money to furnish the nursery.

And with what's left of it, Simon bought a community lot!

This is Fitness Factory. It's mostly a gym, but it also has two pools (one inside and one outside), a sauna and a jacuzzi.


Simon immediately started working, and he had the golden sales badge in no time.


It was quite hard to earn some customer stars though, so he left with the business only at level 2.


I was quite surprised to see he actually autonomously takes care of little Hunter when Ellie is at work.

Speaking of Ellie; just before the rotation was over she got promoted to level 6!
