Crimson Falls BACC - Week 11: Dorrestein

Current family members:

Last week, taking care of the demanding twins was quite rough for Jacob and Samantha. Their roommate Bob was a great help, but once he started hitting on Samantha he had to move out. Things got easier when the twins became children. Jacob and Samantha got married and even conceived a honeymoon baby!

Just like the Crimsons, the Dorresteins also had a magic lamp in their inventory. I knew it would come in handy some day! They wished for wealth 3 times.

Jacob and Piper went outside to meet their new neighbours, fresh out of uni: Max Armadillo and Eleanor Plaatsjes.

Speaking of Jacob, he was a stay-at-home dad until now. But with my new strategy of trying to get the SM up, that isn't an option anymore. So he finds a job in the Business career at level 1. Their soon-to-be-born baby will have to be taken care of by the nanny.

Samantha came home with a promotion to level 7 of the politics career, due to a good chance card. I changed some default maternity outfits by the way, in case you wondered. The previous one was broken, as the pants didn't have a pregnancy morph and it had bothered me for a while now.

The twins came home from school just in time to watch Samantha give birth to their sibling, and I think it just might have scarred them for life.

With the neighbours running inside too, little Caleb Dorrestein had quite the welcoming committee! He's a very special Sim after all: With the birth of Caleb, the popularity is now at 5004 which marks the 10%!

I just realized while seeing this picture his outfit was actually meant for an alien baby, but I can't read the words while picking a baby outfit, so he'll have to deal with it.

It was probably because of the three wishes for money, but they had the 11th burglary of Crimson Falls that night.

For some reason, Nathan blamed his mom for the burglary.

Both of the twins had sports as their OTH, and kept jumproping inside the house. It really annoyed the dogs.

Birthday time for the newest member of the family. Caleb is insanely outgoing and super active, yet a bit mean.

They actually hired a nanny to take care of Caleb when both Samantha and Jacob were at work, but the nanny didn't do much. Caleb was forced to sleep on the dog bed, as the nanny was to busy reading the newspaper or something like that.



I can't believe it was time for the twins to become teens already!


Ariel rolled fortune/romance, with the LTW to become Criminal Mastermind. Nathan rolled popularity/pleasure with the LTW to become Celebrity Chef. I feel like Nathan mostly resembles his dad, while Ariel is almost a carbon copy of her mom!

I figured having two teens around would be nice, as they could help with teaching Caleb his toddler skills. Caleb was thinking otherwise.


Oh no, I didn't even realize Piper was so close to her birthday already! She became an old dog.

So, as I didn't want to overwhelm you guys with promotion-pictures, I put them all into one frame. Jacob got promoted all the way to level 5 this week! It was mostly due to his good performance, yet he had one promotion because of a good chance card.




Ariel had rolled the want to get into private school, so she invited the headmaster. He was impressed (even though they had burgers for dinner) and she and Nathan got in with a 93/90 score. Only after he left, I realized I should've waited until Caleb was a child. Oh well.


I just took this picture as I thought it was cute, the twins skilling for their future careers/university draw while mommy Samantha was going to make dinner.

Then this happened. Samantha just didn't move at all, until she suddenly ran upstairs to get Caleb. Piper and Penny thought growling at the fire might help. Luckily, they had a fire alarm so the firefighter came to put it out.

Luckily, no one got hurt, and Nathan (I keep writing Jacob, as they look so much alike!) brought Caleb back inside.

Just a little note; I have no idea why Jacob was already in the Business career according to my stats. I think I corrected everything now.
