Crimson Falls BACC - Week 7: Van der Storm

Last week, Sarah became an elder. She and her husband Kevin adopted little Brandon, who was previously adopted by late Goofy Kardinaal. Brandon was the same age as Casssie (Sarah and Kevin's daughter), and they grew up to children together. Oscar became a teen and fell head over heels in love with Lynn, a townie. Sadly, Kevin passed away by the end of the week, leaving Sarah devastated.

Now that Sarah was alone and had three children and a cat to take care of, it was time for her to leave her small house. She had more than enough money, thanks to her businesses Sax &Violins and Club Cassie.

The family moved to a nice multiplex home.

A quick look at the inside. Oscar and Brandon share a room, while Cassie has a room for herself. There's a garage, but no car yet.

Kimo the cat was still the apple of Sarah's eye.

I didn't mention it, but their neighbours are Jurriaan and Jacob Dorrestein. I thought, now that Nolan was at college and Emmy passed away, it would be the right time for them to move as well. With Jacob being a Family Sim, their old home would be too small for him if he wants to have kids when he's an adult.

Sarah rolled the want to write a novel, so she spends most of her days writing. Now that she's an elder, she's pretty boring to me.

Brandon brought this girl home, her name is Ada. They got along very well and became friends.

Oscar is such a nice big brother, autonomously reading to Cassie and Brandon all the time.

Sarah finished her novel. It isn't a bestseller, but it brought in §2,032 so now they have enough money to buy a car. Sarah kept rolling that want, so she was very happy about it.

Sarah pays a quick visit to Sax & Violins and Club Cassie, getting the last one up to level 4.

When she returns home, she maxes out her creativity skill. That will definitely come in handy while writing novels.

Oscar brings home Celeste, they have two bolts together. Oscar already has a girlfriend (Lynn) so I don't let them act on their two bolts, but I quite like Celeste so I'm definitely keeping her in mind for another Sim.

Both Cassie and Brandon are doing great at school. Sarah doesn't have many attention for them though, all she wants to do is write, write, write.

I never realized that when you put a litter box outside, the landlord cleans it. Nice!

Cassie and Brandon became best friends, just in time for their birthday!

I love it when they grow up (almost) simultaneously.

Here's Brandon. He rolled Family/Popularity with the LTW to raise 20 puppies or kittens.

Cassie rolled Wealth/Knowledge, her LTW is to earn §100,000.

I aged Ada up with Brandon, as I really liked them together.

Sarah finished another novel, this one is a bestseller. She gets §2,930 for it.

Kimo became old :-( It won't be long until we have to say goodbye to him.

That night, the sixth burglary in Crimson Falls happened, which opens yet another position in Law Enforcement. It's time to start using these positions though, as all positions are still open now.

Are you kidding me?! She did manage to stop him after he stole the car, though. They got §2,500 insurance money.

I realized they still had the magic lamp, and two wishes left. So I made Brandon wish for some money.

And I use the last wish for Cassie, as I wasn't sure it would count for her LTW but I could try, right?

It was already Sunday, and I realized that it was time to send Oscar off to college. He had that want for a while now. He has an A+ in school so that gives him at least one scholarship.

There he goes. I can't believe how big all those kids are getting!

Crimson Falls BACC - Week 7: Dorrestein

It's time to visit the Dorrestein household again. Last week, they decided to adopt Jacob as they only had Nolan at home. Nolan became a teen and purchased a community lot, Beyond Monopoly.

We start this seventh week with a little ACR action. Of course.

Nolan went to Beyond Monopoly. His LTW is to earn 100,000 Simoleons, and that won't be hard because he already has the golden Sales badge. So he set the entry fee to 999 Simoleons and starts dazzling.

His LTW is reached in no time at all. I think that's the first time I actually completed a LTW of a teenager!

He immediately starts bragging to Ingrid Kijiduin about the amount of money he earned.

When he leaves, his business is at level 8 and his new LTW is to have 50 first dates - no thanks.

Jacob is really looking up to his big brother.

To be honest, Jurriaan and Emmy are getting quite boring. I don't like playing elders. She's on the computer blogging about her hobbies most of the time.

Nolan brought home a classmate named Marieke, and they really hit it off.

Jacob seems very interested in his big brother's flirting skills. Nolan and Marieke are having a date, as Nolan rolled that want.

He gets his first kiss, but right after Marieke leaves because she has to pee?! Oh well. It was a dreamdate.

Birthday time! Jacob became a teen, and quite a handsome one too! He rolled Family/Pleasure, with the LTW to reach his golden anniversary. It's a bit boring, but it can definitely be done.

They had another burglar, but thanks to the alarm, nothing was stolen.

Nolan brought home Marieke again and they're all over each other.

Jacob brought home a friend, too: It's Samantha, who he was already friends with as a child. She grew up with him. Being a Family Sim, he immediately rolls the want to have his first kiss and go steady with her. Jurriaan and Emmy seem so proud!

The look on Marieke's face when Jacob asked Samantha to go steady was just creepy, though.

She quickly left the room to have some ACR WooHoo with Nolan.

Aww, besides going steady, Jacob and Samantha also shared their first kiss.

And after their WooHoo, Nolan also rolled the want of going steady. So now both brothers have a girlfriend, I think it's adorable.

Jacob got the magic lamp! We won't use it now, but it will definitely come in handy in the future.

The brothers had a little fun. They are getting along very well.

That afternoon, when they came home from school, I made them both hug their mother. Because I knew what was coming...

Emmy passed away of old age. She was in platinum when she died.

Both Nolan and Jacob were devastated. And for some reason, she did get the platinum grave, while my other Sims who died in platinum didn't. Jurriaan was at work when his wife died.

Nolan didn't had a lot of time to think about his mother's death. He wasn't planning on going to college, but he rolled the want and got the SimCity Scholar's Grant. Only one scholarship isn't enough for Mauve University, but Crimson Falls also has a public university he can attend.

So we end this week with Jacob waving his brother goodbye.
