Crimson Falls BACC - Week 8: Dorrestein II


Last week, Simon and Ellie spent most of their time at work or taking care of their son Hunter. Ellie got pregnant again, and soon after Hunter grew up to a child, Ryder was born.

With another baby, it was time for the Dorrestein family to move to a new house.


This is the inside, with bedrooms and bathrooms for Hunter and Ryder on the ground floor, and eeverything else on the first floor.

Simon enjoys the view with a nice breakfast.

Having two kids quite far apart in age is great for them. While Hunter is at school, Ryder gets all the attention.

The welcome wagon brings Lynn Tanaka, Marieke van Oosterom and Berend Lillig. They hang out for a while.

Hunter brings home his cousin Josephine from school. They become friends.

That night, he sleeps in his own room for the first time. In their previous home, his bed was in his parents' room.

Ryder still has his crib in Simon and Ellie's room, which is a nice benefit for Ellie who has to nurse him during the night.

The next morning, Simon helps Hunter with his homework.

And while his parents are having a nice breakfast, Hunter has some fun outside, still in his pajamas.

The next day, Simon gets his final promotion in the Slacker career and reaches his LTW! That als opens one position in the Show Business career.

Hunter has as little fun with the pinball machine his mom bought for enrolling in the Gamer career.

I don't think a bottle is going to take that green cloud away, Si...

I wanted to put Ellie on birth control, as this house only has room for two kids. But as Hunter wil be a teen by the end of this week, he will probably be off to college by the time a possible third child will need a bedroom of his/her own. So I just let ACR decide.

Hunter brings home his cousin Eleanor, but they don't get along very well.

Birthday time! Let's see what Ryder looks like.

Simon and Ellie don't make the prettiest kids in the Sim world, but I really like that he has Ellie's blonde hair! He's a Scorpio, 10/6/8/7/3.  He and Simon become best friends right away.

 Ellie got promoted to level 7!

Ryder isn't tired enough to sleep, so Simon has to wait until his energy bar hit the red.

They have a little midnight dinner/breakfast.


When Ryder finally falls asleep, Simon tucks in Hunter and finally goes to bed.


The next morning, both Simon and Ellie had rolled the want to buy a car. So here it is! They have room for 4 cars in their carport/driveways, so there might be more of them later.

There's quite a lack of Ellie in this update, so here she is with Ryder.


She gets a bad chance card and gets demoted to level 6. Luckily, she can go back to work right away.


Hunter brings home Jolie Farijs from school, and they become friends.


Ellie gets promoted right back to level 7 that night.


Ryder and Ellie become best friends, and he learns how to use the potty.


The two brothers are adorable together. I really must consider my other Sims having their children further apart in age, too. They usually pop out one after another.



It's a double birthday, on this very last evening of the week!


Here's Ryder. I think he looks a lot like his mom.

And here's Hunter. He rolled Fortune/Pleasure with the LTW to become Celebrity Chef.

Crimson Falls BACC - Week 8: Plaatsjes


Last week, Robin and Constantijn tied the knot. Soon after, they had a little girl named Josephine. Archibald became a child, and though I wasn't planning it, ACR surprised me with another pregnancy. A pregnancy I did plan was Lulu's, who got knocked up by a stray dog. By the end of the week, Josephine was a toddler and Robin was heavily pregnant.

It's going to be an eventful week for the Plaatsjes, with both Robin and Lulu being pregnant!

Josephine needs a bath, but she doesn't like it at all.

Who does like a nice bath, is Lulu. She's so cute.

Robin is the first one to go into labour. Josephine isn't really sure what's happening.

The nanny walks in just in time to witness the birth of little Eleanor.

This time, I actually remembered to put Robin on birth control.

Birthday time! Josephine is now a child.

That night, Constantijn rolls the want to teach Lulu a trick.


When she runs off to the dog house to have some rest, she goes into labour!


She has three puppies: one female (the left one) and two male.


The family decides to keep the black male, and put the other two up for adoption.

The next day, Josephine brings home Jolie Farijs from school. Quite special, as they're biologically halfsisters!

Constantijn helps Josephine with her homework.

Another day, another friend brought home from school. Archibald brings Grace Crimson with him, Josephine takes home a townie named Daniëlle.

 It's time for little Eleanor to become a toddler!

Here she is. She looks a lot like Constantijn. She's a 10/5/5/3/3 Virgo.

Yeah, I'm just going to stop writing descriptions to pictures like this. Or probably I'll stop taking pictures like this at all ;-)

The next day, Constantijn gets promoted to level 8!

Can you find all six Sims hanging out in this picture?

Robin gets promoted to level 8 and is greeted by Josephine. She also brings home Ellie Dorrestein, her sister-in-law.

Despite being a very shy Sim, Josephine keeps making friends. The upper one is a townie named Gideon, the other one is Daniëlle - who she brought home before.


I just realized I never told you the name of the puppy: His name is Milo.

Speaking of Milo, he just became an adult dog! His mom Lulu is quite smelly - again.

Constantijn tries to teach Eleanor how to talk, but she isn't really into it.

He moves on to giving Milo some attention instead. Look at that happy dog face!

I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Archie. He brings home a townie classmate, named Dimitri, immediately rolls the want to befriend him... but Dimitri is only interested in talking and playing with his little sister Josephine.

He'll be above all that quite soon - literally, as he is ready to become a teen!

 See that proud look on Constantijn's face. I really like this family.

There he is. He rolled Wealth/Family with the LTW to become Education Minister. I aged Daniëlle up with him.

Eleanor gets potty trained by her dad.

She is so adorable! I'm not sure Lulu agrees with me though.

Eleanor dislikes bathtime as much as her big sister Josephine.


Archibald is such a great big brother. I think he's one of my favourite third generation Sims now.

He rolls the want to buy a car, and as they have the money, I let him. He's so happy!

Alright, this is the last picture of Archibald, I promise. For now.

On the last day of the week, Constantijn comes home with a promotion and a new best friend - Jonathan Crimson.

Eleanor learns how to talk, just in time for her birthday!

There she is!

And after changing the nursery into a big girl's bedroom, we end this week with Archibald tucking in his littlest sister.
