Crimson Falls BACC - Week 13: Petal

Last week was an intense one for the Petal family. Cedar came back from his alien abduction and they moved to a new house, as living with Basil, Valerie and their children would be too crowded when there was an alien baby coming. Scott became a child, soon followed by the birth of his siblings: alien wtins Benji and Lauren. Ella, the eldest Petal child, became a teen and bought her first community lot. Cedar became an elder. Suddenly, Dianna turned out to be pregnant - a birth control fail. She almost miscarried a couple of times, but eventually things calmed down and she entered her second trimester, just as the twins became toddlers.

I was still feeling a bit anxious about them having another baby. Dianna was in her last trimester now and could give birth any day. 

Cedar got promoted to level 8 of the Medical career. 

Ella was the one who mostly took care of the alien twins. As Cedar was busy with his career and didn’t have a lot of energy left because of his old age, and Dianna was feeling terrible because of her pregnancy, Ella really stepped up. I think I would’ve thrown my laptop out of the window if it wasn’t for Ella. Gosh, this family was frustrating me.

And things were about to get even more frustrating.

Welcome to the world, Greta. I just really hope you are a quiet and easy baby.

It was a good thing Dianna didn’t have a job, as a nanny definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep up with these high-need toddlers and baby. 

Despite the chaos, Cedar managed to get another promotion. He was getting really close to topping his career.

Yay! More help with the little ones Scott is growing up!

He’s very handsome. Scott rolled Popularity/Fortune with the LTW to become Business Tycoon. He’s straight and his ideal family size is 3.

He immediately potty trained Benji. Nice.

Cedar had maxed out 4 skills already. I’m sure it won’t be long until he tops his career and reaches his LTW.

Despite the fact that she wasn’t planned (at all), everyone loved little Greta to pieces.

Cedar did it! He’s at Medical level 10 and is permaplat now. 

And there’s more to celebrate: the twins became children. Finally.

Luckily Dianna’s now too old to have another baby.

Scott was the one to help the youngest family member age up. Greta had the most adorable chubby cheeks, was incredibly nice and very playful. 

What’s up with all those burglars in Crimson Falls lately?!

Lol, I love Scott.

Ella had her lover Ollie over and didn’t even get pregnant. I still didn't change my risky WooHoo odds, as I think they're good for the adult Sims, just a little too much for the teens.

Despite there are just too many Sims in this small house, they loved each other so much and kept autonomously doing sweet stuff life this.

Benji, who never lived with his aunt, uncle and cousins from next door, was still playing with his cousin Arlo all the time.

Dianna wasn’t too happy to become an elder. She aged up with her aspiration bar in red, as life was just too hectic to take care of her wants.

Scott left for college by the end of the rotation, just as Dianna set the stove on fire.

Crimson Falls BACC - Week 13: Peerik

Last week, Daphne and Tyler kind of wanted a fifth child but Daphne soon became too old and they settled for the fact that it would stay this way. Remi, their eldest son, became a teen. He was a great help while taking care of Igor, their youngest, who became a child a bit later. Daphne and Tyler became elders, but it didn't stop them from playing with their four kids. Lily, their eldest, had a lot of fun with her crush Tristan.

Tyler got promoted to level 8 of his Law Enforcement career.

Olin had his birthday. He rolled Knowledge/Romance with the LTW to become Celebrity Chef. He’s straight and his ideal family size is 2. 

One day after her husband, Daphne also got promoted.

And the next day, Tyler got promoted again. It was quite a boring week with the Peeriks.

Gigi the cat was still alive, by the way. I always tend to forget about the pets.

A good chance card for Daphne, meaning she’s now at level 9. She went back to work right away. 

Cassius, their cousin, came home with them from school.

Lily’s lover Tristan Mauve was over to celebrate her birthday.

Olin developed a crush on his classmate (and Tyler’s coworker) Ivy. They shared their first kiss, and he asked her to go steady as he rolled that want.

There she goes: the first child of Tyler and Daphne to become an adult!

She’s stunning. She reminds me a bit of her aunt, Tracy.

She and Tristan used her parents’ bed to celebrate. 

Tyler spent some time skilling with his middle son. Tyler to gain his last promotion, Olin as he really wanted to go to college and needed as many skill points as possible for that.

Lily found being an adult was quite boring. Her parents were at work, her brothers and her boyfriend were at school. There wasn’t a position available in her desired career (Business). She just waited until the day was over.

She was flattered when her brothers brought home a friend from school, who turned out to have a crush on her. She didn’t exactly turn Bruno down, despite she knew she had to.

Both Daphne and Tyler topped their careers on the same day! It’s a shame it wasn’t any of their LTWs. It did open 2 positions in the Journalism career though.

We have one more birthday this rotation: Igor, the youngest Peerik, became a teen. He rolled Knowledge/Family with the LTW to become Celebrity Chef, just like Olin. He’s straight and his Ideal Family Size is 5.

Wow Lily, that was fast. You don’t even live together yet! Oh well.

There was a burglar, but they had the alarm so nothing really happened. 

Tyler got a huge bonus, thanks to a good chance card. All three of their sons were able to buy a virtual community lot because of it. The SM went up to 73, bringing the population up from 14,688 (22,392) to 14,892 (22,776).

Lily got her second pop (and another haircut because of her maternity outfit).

Just before the rotation was over, Lily gave birth to a baby girl named Raina. They moved out right after birth, as they are starting a new household next rotation.

Olin was lucky enough to go to college, which I almost forgot because of Lily giving birth. Bye Olin!
