Setting up the BaCC

 1. Choose a BaCC. Wanted a small terrain, and had a hankering to do 4 Corners from Life Stories.

Couldn't find the SC4 terrains online, so have created a rar from the LifeStories game. Pop them in the SC4Terrains folder to use. There are no pictures, but it has an inbuilt picture?

2. Stuff I want in game - Loaded up my defaults, basic genetic choices. 

• Bin contains all the CC that I always use, but thinking I should add some recolours for some things - or more importantly more of my own stuff.
• Added the Sunnyside small lots by aelflaed at MTS2 as packages, renamed them to cx_000000nn where nn = 01 to 20 and put them in the LotCatalog, so that they appear in the Lot bin automagically without having to install them through teleport. (Sims2pack has the ability to install these as packages when you unclick the default the installation).
•  Starting homes - The Council Houses by JoandSarah77 at MTS2 good sized homes clocking in at 10K to purchase - no furniture. Sounds perfect.
• Extra CC - Sofa Beds - LaMare's Functional Sofa bed Because they may not have enough money for both a bed and a sofa, if they have enough for a sofa bed, then that's what will happen.

The six starter houses. Have been updated to look all slightly different. Inside has been changed to give wood floors, white tiles, and buttercup walls - because that's what council houses do. When they have money to change them up, they can redecorate.

The main community lot - set up as communal allotment like they have in some places where people can go to grow their own food.

There are the 3 Maxis trees, and the Sun and Moon Trees - two dwarf trees and one full size tree. A place where they can fish , and a row of places to plant vegetables. I want to plant Sun and Moon veges, but  will start with tomatoes, lettuce and whatever else they normally have.

Once the fridges are empty of food, they will not be buying food except what is grown there. Tours of lots on a different post.

There is also a place to make coffee, and go to the bathroom in the shed, and one of simwardrobe's packing stations so that we can pack up the food in bulk.

The final lot is a more recreational lot that was made by a friend of mine - Mossi Lake.

  Mossi Lake is a vacation in the main hood lot - it has a swimmable lake, log rolling, hammer throwing, places to eat,places to sleep, and all. (I need to replace the diving board and ladder - and this image is my reminder to do that).

When they want to have fun, it is to Mossi Lake they come! (I should make a tourist poster for it!)

 

The current batch of starting Sims. Fiona deSimberville, Holly Gear, Sim-Kiri, Christopher Miller, Simon Studley and Stephan Studley.

Holly Gear is from my D&D campaign (home), Stephan and Simon Studley are sims I made back in 2005 that were updated.

The Studley boys have the same father but different mothers. They found each other only after their father died. He was a sailor who had a family in every port. The will was complicated and that is how they realised they were half-brothers.

Everyone here is starting up this hood because they were tired of problems in society at SimCity. Years of fascism and racism has taken its toll and no-one feels safe. Here they are trying to build a safe and inclusive society. Fascism, racism, sexism, prejudice of all kinds are not acceptable.

(Yes, they are all white sims - this is a fact of poor eyesight (mine) rather than a bias against people of colour - more people of colour will be arriving as the society grows and I get a new monitor.

Also, sims need to see that they are inclusive before they trust them. Who knows whether they are able to do as they think.
