Crimson Falls BACC - Week 12: Dorrestein

Last week, Samantha gave birth to their honeymoon baby: a boy named Caleb. His siblings became teens. Jacob started on his job in the Business career and his career was going great: he got promoted all the way to level 5 in 1 week! The twins were accepted in private school at the end of the week.


We started this week with Ariel finding a teen job in the Criminal career. As said before, everyone need to bring in as much Simoleons as possible for this rotation!


Jacob was busy playing with his youngest son. I’m really hoping Jacob will top his career this rotation, but it’s going to be hard: he’s only at level 5. Topping it would unlock another business district, which means +5 for the Sim Multiplier. So I’m gonna try my best!


The first day was going great: Jacob got promoted to level 6.


Oh, turns out I missed Ariel and this townie kid (Tygo) share their first kiss.


Nathan taught Caleb how to talk, just in time for his birthday.



He is so adorable, and looks a lot like his mom.


The nursery was changed to a kids bedroom.



Three promotions in one day: Samantha got promoted to level 8 of the Politics career, while Jacob got promoted to level 7 of the Business career. Ariel topped her teen career.


Nathan helped his little brother with his homework, while their father was busy skilling for his next promotion.


Penny became an old dog. It won’t be long until both Piper and Penny are gone :-(




Ok I’m gonna cry now. There was plenty of dog food, but Penny was busy playing and now the dogs are getting taken away. 



Oh, I had no idea I could just adopt them back right away. Piper and Penny are back!


Everything is still going according to plan: Jacob got promoted to level 8. Only two more days to go until it’s weekend, which means he has to get promoted every day, otherwise he won’t make it to the top this rotation.



Ariel brought home Laura, who we know as the former girlfriend of Max Armadillo. Nathan hung out with classmate Lily Baker, while there were some other Sims watching television: one townie and Olaf Bertels. They both walked by and were greeted by Samantha, but she’s nowhere to be seen.


Ohh... Level 9!


Nathan followed in his father’s footsteps, as he found a job in the Business career. His LTW is to top Culinary, but that doesn’t have any positions available at the moment.


There he goes, fingers crossed!


The twins brought home classmates who I thought could be future spouse material, but they had to go to work and didn’t get the chance to become friends. Their classmates hung out together instead.



YES! He did it! Jacob unlocked another business district, which means +5 for the Sim Multiplier! That brings our population up from 6,678 to 7,473. I’m not the only one who’s happy; Jacob is too.


On the same day, Nathan also topped his teen career in Business.


It’s a miracle family breakfast!



The entire family went for a run. Mostly because I wanted Jacob to lose some weight, but I figured it would be a nice family activity. Jacob ended up losing some weight, but the rest of the family was more interested in Caleb being all smelly. 


On Sunday evening, it was time to decide if the twins would go to college. Nathan had to roll below 35 and rolled 67, so he can’t go.


Ariel’s odds were slightly better, she had to roll below 40. Too bad she rolled 96, so both of them have to stay at home.


Wait what? No way, Max and Ariel. We don’t need anymore drama. Let’s hope you enjoyed it, as it was a one time thing. *puts them in Friend Zone*


Oh crap. 

Well, let’s say that was quite a finale to this update. This family paid 40,000 to the university fund.

Crimson Falls BACC - Week 12: Crimson

Last week Magda and Matthew had two of their children still at home. Their youngest son, Quentin, became a teen. By the end of the week, Olivia left for college.



Finally, it’s time to play the Crimson household again! Matthew and Magda are still so much in love, it’s adorable.


Their only child still at home was Quentin, who was taking care of the greenhouse now that his parents were becoming too old to do so.


As I was determined to unlock another university as soon as possible, Quentin applied for a job in the Dance career. Every Simoleon counts!


On Monday, Quentin brought home his friend Harper de Lange. Harper, being a Romance Sim, didn’t waste any time before she started flirting. They developed a crush, but there was no kissing - yet.



Matthew spent some time with Noodle, a stray dog. He ran away before they could adopt him though.


Quentin, who I barely recognize with this haircut that goes with his work outfit, got promoted on his first day at the job.


The gypsy brought a magic lamp, which is great: they can definitely use all the money for more businesses and the university fund.




So of course, all three of them wished for money. 


Quentin topped his teen dance career.



After three wishes for wealth, this was bound to happen. Luckily they had the alarm, and this burglar unlocked another opening in Law Enforcement. 


Quentin brought home this townie named Fiora. They didn’t have any bolts, but they really hit it off and had so much fun together.


When she left, they had mutual crushes. But besides some flirting, nothing had happened. I really wonder who Quentin will end up with, as he is secondary Romance but doesn’t have amazing chemistry with anyone. He has two bolts with Harper de Lange, but she’s primary Romance so I’m not sure that will be more than a fling. 


On Friday, Quentin’s big sister Grace stopped by. They chatted for a bit; too bad Matthew and Magda were at work!


Quentin invited Fiora over, and ACR made them share their first kiss right away. 


I think they’re really cute together.


Fiora was invited for a sleepover, but she slept in the other room autonomously. How modest.




On Sunday, Quentin asked her to go steady. She rejected, much to my surprise. Awww. 


It didn’t change much for their affection, though, as they started kissing right afterwards.



Despite her age, Magda was really enjoying the snow that winter.



Quentin really wanted to go to college, and he was lucky: he had to roll below 43 and he rolled 40. 

As Matthew and Magda would go to the retirement home next rotation, they could donate almost all their money, 100,000 simoleons to the university fund. They also sent some money to their children.
