Crimson Falls BACC - Week 11: Dorrestein II


Current family members:


Last week, Anne gave birth to her second child with Simon: a boy named Otis. Simon became an elder, just as both Vida and Otis grew up, too. Simon retired, staying home to take care of his children while Anne's career flourished.

Simon is keeping up the good work while taking care of his children. Otis really is the apple of his eye.

He does some financial consulting, as his income is quite low now that he is retired. Luckily Anne is at level 9 of the Slacker career, so she's earning enough for them both.

It's birthday time for Otis. He reminds me of his half brother Ryder, but it might be just the hair color.

The kids' bedroom got an upgrade, now that there are no more toddlers in the house. I put Anne on birth control as I felt like two kids is enough for them, at least for now, and I don't want ACR to throw more babies at me. Of course there's still a small chance, thanks to risky woohoo.

Anne reached the top of the Slacker career! It wasn't her LTW, but it's definitely nice as it also opens a position in Show Business. Now Anne can work on maxing out all skills.

Otis brought home classmate Chloe van Achteren, who seems to be pretty popular among the children of Crimson Falls.

Simon helped Otis with his homework. Now that Simon is an elder, he seem to have calmed down.

I feel happy for Anne. To be honest, when they got together I really didn't feel like Simon would stay with her for the rest of his life. But they still love each other deeply.

Of course, just after I typed this, he rolled the want to WooHoo with 10 different Sims and went after the maid. I guess he got a little bored because of his retirement.

Vida and Otis are such sweet siblings, playing together in the living room.

The playing was interrupted because Vida was about to become a teen.

She looks a lot like her mom, I think. She rolled knowledge/pleasure, with the LTW to become media magnate.

Simon decided to visit his business, Fitness Factory, to earn some money. It was at level 4, so if he got it up at least one level he could have another money perk.

Simon wouldn't be Simon if he didn't flirt with some random women. This one is Mariette, they have 3 bolts together.

When he closed the business, it had reached level 5 and Simon had earned quite some money.

Anne's career reward was a great way to improve their creativity skills.

On Sunday evening, the family was able to pay 65,000 simoleons to the university fund.

Belmonte Name Game 1.1


It might not be the first thing you want to do right after you gave birth, as I can tell from Phlox' face, but to chose a heir I like the kids to be close in age. So, wasting no time!

So, I really need to get myself to remodel the house. Poor Percy doesn't even have a crib.

I put action into words and expended the house. There's an empty hallway with a future kids' bedroom on the right; they still have money left but I wasn't sure what size the bedroom must be, so I left it for now.

Phlox comes home with a promotion, at the same moment Xavier leaves for work. That's at least one day without needing a nanny!


The coworker Phlox brought home, offers her a network benefit-thingy: she can start at level 4 of the law enforcement career right away! I usually don't take those offers, but this time it actually was what I hoped for. Yay!


When Xavier brings home a promotion, the day really can't get any better.


Xavier is being a good father. I can definitely see him raising four more babies. He was a good choice as a spouse.
   



 


   





Right before he has to go to work, Xavier proposes to Phlox. She accepts, of course, as she had the want to get engaged for a couple of days now.


More good news: baby H is on its way! It's only Saturday, week 1. This challenge is having a great start.


It's Percy's birthday. I usually wait until Sims age up by themselves, but for this challenge I decided to age them up when I get the notification they will age up tomorrow.


There seem to be something off with his eyes, I think it's Xavier's eyes that are just a bit weird. Let's hope they will also have some kids with Phlox' eyes and I'm sure it will be alright.
             


Phlox and Xavier get married in the middle of the living room. Xavier takes Phlox' last name, as I would like to keep the Belmonte name for this challenge.


Baby girl Huda is born. She has her moms green eyes, let's hope the shape of her eyes is also like her mom's.


Raising toddlers is exhausting. Too bad you have to do it four more times, Xav.


Percy has his birthday, and I think he looks a lot like his dad.


He can help celebrate Huda's birthday right away.


She is lovely, and actually has Phlox' eye shape. She does have Xavier's mouth though, but it doesn't bother me as much as the eyes did.


Phlox is so happy to have baby L on the way, she slams her hand through the bathroom wall.


Percy does some socializing, as I'm always looking for future spouses.


I furnished the spare bedroom, so at least three children/teens can sleep there. Percy immediately tries out the new toy oven.


Percy is a loving big brother to Huda. They are so precious.


Both Phlox and Xavier get promoted to level 5 of their careers on the same day. Halfway there!

It's time for baby L to enter the world! Birthing don't get any easier the third time, does it, Phlox?


Hi there, little Link Belmonte! Only two more babies to go this generation.
