Crimson Falls BACC - Week 11: Crimson

Current family members:

Last week was all about the children growing up for the Crimson family. Josiah had already left for college and they still had Grace, Olivia and Quentin at home. Magda and Matthew both had their elder birthdays and Magda fulfilled her LTW shortly after. By the end of the week, Grace left for college.

Olivia did a little spouse-hunting. Ron, her dad's coworker, is in the first picture. Second one is her classmate Tygo. She had one bolt with both of them, and especially Tycho seemed to be quite smitten.

They became friends while fishing together in the rain. Who knows what the future holds for them!

Quentin also befriended a classmate, her name is Belinda (though you probably know her as Brittany).

I remembered Olivia having a genie lamp in her inventory. As this rotation is all about getting the SM up, she wished for money three times. That would give the university fund quite a boost.

Quentin became a teen. He rolled knowledge/romance, with the LTW to become World Class Ballet Dancer. I think he looks the most like Matthew, but he's a good mix of his parents.

Olivia maxed out her Logic skill, which was great. I have a new system to decide who can go to uni and who doesn't, and maxing out a skill gave her some advantage.

Olivia keeps rolling the want to call her older siblings Josiah and Grace. I guess she's telling them about Quentin's birthday.

Speaking of Quentin, he and Olivia share some tough sibling love. They barely have any relationship at all, so they're always on the brink of getting into a negative relationship.

I can't believe Magda, one of my favourite townies of Sims 2, is an elder already. I really don't want her to pass away just yet! She spent some time with Toto, a stray cat, and befriended him. I didn't let her adopt him though, as I don't feel like this is the kind of household to have a pet.

On Sunday evening, it was time for Olivia to see if she had drawn a university place (is that the correct word in English?). She was lucky; she had to roll lower than 44 with a d100 and rolled 12. So off she goes!

This family could pay §100,000 to the university fund, with special thanks to the genie!
