Crimson Falls BACC - Week 12: Stats

Yay, week 12 is now officially finished! As there are no more taxes to be subtracted (I actually remembered it this time!) this is going to be an update completely about the Crimson Falls statistics.

Demography
We'll start the 13th rotation with:
11 babies
16 toddlers
22 children
33 teens
8 young adults
62 adults
25 elders
And 3 visibly pregnant Sims. The Sims in their first trimester aren't counted (and believe me, there are a lot of them!)
2 Sims passed away this rotation: Maaike Farijs and Ellie Kosmoskus, both died of old age. This makes a total of 14 Sim graves in Crimson Falls. Sadly, I’m expecting quite a few Sims to die in week 13.
86 of the living Sims are male, while 90 are female. 141 of them are straight, 22 gay/lesbian and 13 bisexual.
There are a lot of pets in Crimson Falls: 27 cats and 13 dogs, of which 4 cats are currently in the pool to be adopted.

Aspirations
These are currently the numbers of primary aspirations by Sims age teen and up:
31 Family
26 Fortune
32 Knowledge
8 Pleasure
23 Popularity
7 Romance

And the secundary aspirations:
21 Family
25 Fortune
15 Grilled Cheese
21 Knowledge
16 Pleasure
16 Popularity
13 Romance

We’re starting to see this numbers evening out a bit more, especially the secundary aspirations as those are all equally represented when I roll the dice. For the primary aspirations, I still use a d10 with the following results: 1-2 Family, 3-4 Knowledge, 5-6 Popularity, 7-8 Fortune, 9 Romance, 10 Pleasure.

Next rotation
For the upcoming rotation, I’m going to maintain my dice system for the aspirations, the ideal family size and to decide who enrolls in college.

I’m also going to use my calculation again to decide if a couple is going to stay together or not. I did that a couple of rotations ago but I tend to forget that every time. So for this rotation, I’ve calculated ahead to know which couples are going to divorce. I really don’t like my Sims to divorce but it keeps the game more interesting, I think.

I'm also going to start counting my CAS points as population, next to my population without the CAS Sims included, as I'm not planning to place them but they still count towards my population. For the openings in the Education career, which depends on your current population, I'll still be using the one without CAS points added - for now.

So, let's see how we're going to start Week 13!

Crimson Falls BACC - Week 12: Bertels

We’re down to the last family of this rotation! Last week, Josie was still a teen and lived with her parents, together with her son Arthur. Arthur's father Olaf stopped by almost every day, to bond with his son. When Josie became an adult, Olaf moved in with them. Soon Josie got pregnant again - and by the end of the week, the three (almost four) of them moved into their own house, together with their newly adopted stray dog Winston.

Josie and Olaf were able to buy a nice house for their growing family, but ran out of money while decorating it. Arthur’s bedroom will eventually move upstairs but for now, his bed is in the future study.

The welcome wagon consisted of Elisa Bender, Robert Hooghoeth and Derek van ‘t Haar.

Just after greeting them, Josie went into labour. What a way to make a first impression on your new neighbours.

Little miss Celine Bruinig got quite a warm welcome.

Olaf had a great day at work: he got promoted to level 5 of his Business career. 

Arthur brought home is cousin Odin from school. They talked about growing up.

Now they had two children together, Olaf felt like the time was right to pop the question.

Olaf was on a roll: he had two promotions in one day. If things kept going as smoothly as they did, it might be possible for him to top his career this rotation.

Yes, you see it correctly: there’s another baby on it’s way! Olaf is still a Family Sim, after all.

Level 8

Birthday time for little Celine.

She’s adorable, and a great mix of her parents. She’s quite outgoing and nice, but also very lazy.

Josie got promoted to level 4 of the Music career. 

The future study was changed into a nursery for the time being.

While there was finally some money left to give Arthur his own room upstairs. He will soon become a teen.

It won’t be long until their third baby will be born.

Celine is adorable. I love her alien eyes. Arthur loved playing with his younger sister.

Another promotion for the very pregnant Josie.

And she wasn’t the only one: Olaf got promoted to level 9! With one more day of work to go, it’s still possible for him to top his career and unlock another business district in this rotation!

Olaf and Josie finally decided to tie the knot!

And they were about to get a very special gift on their wedding night.

Hi there, Dominic!

Winston was such a happy dog, always playing with the strays and greeting passing neighbours.

Actually, this entire family was so much fun to play.

YES! He did it! Olaf unlocked us another Business District! +5 for the SM!

That night, it was time for Arthur to become a teen. I barely see any Josie in him - it’s just all Olaf! Arthur rolled Family/Pleasure with the LTW to have 6 grandchildren. He’s straight and his ideal family size is 3. 

Josie got promoted to level 6.

Olaf was the one to get Celine potty trained.

Being a Family Sim, whenever Arthur wasn’t at school, he was the one to take care of his siblings. Josie and Olaf barely got a chance to care for their own children, as sweet Arthur was always one step ahead.

Arthur’s childhood friend Bethany Mauve stopped by. I was wondering if they had any chemistry, but it was only 1 bolt. I let ACR decide what was going to happen.

Well, they had a lot of fun, but only on a friendly base. I guess I’ll have to look further for Arthur’s future spouse.

So... Another little nooboo is on it’s way!

Arthur bought a community lot: an very small indoor playground called Indoor Explore. I have no idea if a business like this is going t work, but it counts, so it’s okay anyway. 

It kind of worked: there weren’t any children visiting, but the adults used the swings sometimes.


And having a business had another benefit: Arthur met Tosca. They had a whopping 3 bolts and started flirting right away!

Josie got her first pop.

Arthur invited Tosca over at their house, and they were just adorably shy together.

Celine and Dominic both had a birthday. Here’s Celine as a child.

And Arthur helped his little brother grow up. Dominic looks a lot like his mom. He is incredibly playful and nice, but also quite sloppy and lazy. I love how their children all have such different facial features. Celine seems to be the best mix of her parents.

Celine got a nice big girls’ bedroom on the second floor.
