Oceanview Rotation 9 Wright

Oceanview
Rotation 9

Wright

Welcome to Rotation 9 of my BACC! We are all the way back to the Wright household!
The Wright household is made up of toddler Guybrush who is being skilled by his papa, Paul Wright (previously Exipeth) and the mother in the background there, Penelope Wright.

And I waste no time in getting another little Wright nooboo into the city.

And this is their colourful little abode. Sometimes when I just play through I don’t feel like doing anything fancy with the houses. So this is how it stayed pretty much all rotation. I has gotten bigger since last rotation but nothing elaborate, clearly.

Paul used a wish! I can’t remember how many wishes they have used now (if any) but I know this time around he wishes for fortune.
A swift $100,000 is deposited into the Wright bank.

They use some of the money to buy a new community building: the Laundromat! Earning us a CAS sim.

Confirmation shot that we have another little Wright on the way.

Another wish but I can’t remember what he wished for (it has been ages since I played man.)
I think it was money. Most likely, it was money.

Penelope gives birth to little boy Jasper Wright!
Pretty quick pregnancy, I know, but not a lot happens in the Wright household.

A final wish, Paul wishes for money. And now I remember it was money both times because….

They bought the museum / art gallery for little under $200,000 I believe.

Random shot I can’t remember why I took it. Maybe it’s for the family-ness of it all. Look at our lovely complete household.

Guybrush grows up into a child!

Then for a little while not a lot happens. Taking care of Jasper trumps skilling but there is always time to skill in the Wright household.

We end with Jasper becoming a toddler, very cute indeed. I am enjoying his green hair. It would appear both boys inherited Paul’s lack of nose rather than the big bulbous nose on Penelope’s face. I think it’s a good thing.

Oceanview Rotation 8 Bombardino

Oceanview
Rotation 8

Bombardino

I literally have to apologise so much! I’m using photobucket as a lot of you can see and it totally deletes the photos once I’ve used up my allotted bandwidth – what happened Photobucket, you used to be cool. So because of this it is delaying me releasing parts.
I have been advised to change but I’m very lazy so haven’t looked into it yet, maybe in the future when I start to get really annoyed with photobucket.

Anyway! A new family! Meet Mr Bombardino (Mr is his first name because I couldn’t think of a great first name for him, I will just be referring to him as Bombardino) he is inspired from, but his actions as you will later see in no way reflect, Lush’s new Christmas product that is super cute.

I have a master plan for him but I haven’t realised it yet, still working it out.
I’ve been bad and played ahead (to Rotation 11, that’s some serious playing ahead right there) so I’m trying to write a bunch of parts over the next few days while I can still see the photographs.

When the Shepherd’s moved in they became the 4th household allowing the city to have a free community lot, so Oceanview has an art gallery/ museum! With the CAS sim earned we made Bombardino.

I only did this because I left my notes away from my sims computer and I really wanted to play so up to about the O’Briens I played without notes and I just wasn’t sure of birthdays and everything.

It’s okay, don’t panic! Mr Bombardino is going to be a hoot and a half and his actions will loiter around for eons.

He only has a small house because it is just him and I’m hoping to get some nice tax money from his at the end of the season.
His bedroom is located in the basement. Creepy!

He makes himself an online dating profile and does some browsing but I’ve found that it’s easier when you let the fishes come to you.
Bombardino also starts writing a novel because that is how he’ll earn his way.

Bombardino is greeted by Joseph Lord, the only member of the welcome wagon. How sad.

Its fine because at this point a few ladies have gotten back to him on his dating profile so he can begin socialising.

The first on Bombardino’s list is Angie Lord.
So I will let you in on my secret of what I am going to do with Bombardino. It started when sims were gossiping and the most interesting bit of gossip was: “Did you hear, Stacey O’Brien has been flirting with Eliza O’Brien” The audacity!
So now I’m making some real gossip. Mr Bombardino is going to have 8 children through different women and not even raise them. Then when they are all young adults I’ll move them into this household and I’ll probably do some sort of Asylum challenge with them.

For now, we just need the kids.

Wink test was successful.

As well as Angie Lord, every other woman in the neighbourhood is on the list. Like Zara Exipeth here.

Wink test was not so successful. Let’s get Angie back over.

Things move quickly and a lullaby was heard. Angie Lord will be raising the first Bombardino child but we won’t see them (or count them in the population) until we visit the household.

Nice one.

Things start to go well with Zara so Bombardino makes his move. His LTW is to be the boyfriend of 10 sims though I later changed it to woohoo 5 different sims in 5 different places.

Another day, another lullaby. Another child down.

Bombardino keeps up his relationship with Zara because some of the women might need to have two or even three kids to make sure we get all 8.
At some point Bombardino does earn the fertility treatment to speed things along.

He’s also doing really well with his writing too.

Everyone loves Bombardino by the way, he has such a likable personality. But I use him for evil.
He meets both of the Wright sisters, first image is Penelope Wright followed by Eliza O’Brien (previously Wright)

The mamas are flooding in.

Things go really well with Eliza O’Brien and we can confirm a third Bombardino child.

Things were going too well so I split this romance up.

Angie comes over the next day (in her preggo gear after just having Bombardino’s child) and well, it’s the same song and dance really.
I didn’t want to take up too much of the Lord household (which is actually only the Shepherd household as they can’t afford to have a Lord household) with Bombardino kids so split up this romance. But we’re 4 down now.

Bombardino tried his luck with Penelope on the last night of the rotation and she is the only woman to reject him. No matter. plenty more fish in the sea, eh?
And with that we leave Mr Bombardino for now and will really be starting Rotation 9, where we will also see his children!

Oceanview Rotation 8 Shepherd

Oceanview
Rotation 8

Shepherd

Hey there lovely people! Welcome back to Oceanview, you will be happy to see some new yet familiar faces in the neighbourhood:

(A fourth household! Unlocking a space in the military career as well as a free community lot! I forgot about these so the new neighbourhood addition will be seen when we get to the next household)

Re-Introducing: Miles Shepherd (aged up to a Young Adult)

And his younger brother: Joseph Shepherd! Also a Young Adult, but Miles is older by a few days.

Now, I know you are all wondering what I’m doing bringing JUST Miles and Joseph when the Shepherd household also had their mother, Elder Alani, and their younger sister Phoebe. WELL, I picked my favourites and I will go back and get them if this continues to the point where I have so many CAS points I don’t know what to do with them, but for now just having Miles and Joseph here makes me happy.

They live in a tiny house and both of them have zero skills which sucks.
Especially since the Shepherd’s used to be some of the richest sims in Autumnwatch. But we aren’t in Autumnwatch anymore!

I don’t know who is going to keep the Shepherd name but both these boys are on the spouse hunt. Joseph tries forever to talk to Angie Lord but she just wants to swim and he nearly kills himself trying.

She eventually invites him over but the only interaction is through showing each other videos. They do quickly become friends so that is good news.

Eventually we make a move on her. Well, I actually moved her in first then spammed her with romantic interactions. It looks like Joseph will potentially inherit the Lord surname.

Miles is the only one making any money. He paints a lot and even harvests wild plants to start his own garden.
I feel Joseph is a bit of a freeloader and really needs to start pulling his weight.

I gave Angie a quick hairstyle change so I can actually see her face.
I love the dark skin tones with light hair. Her kids probably won’t inherit that since Joseph has black hair but oh well.

And they go right ahead and seal the deal.
Joseph and Angie Lord. They are going start earning money in order to move out next rotation and start the Lord household (hopefully anyway, money is slow)

She is also an Adult so only has a few rotations until elderhood. This also means Miles has secured ‘heir’ as it were and keeps the Shepherd surname as well as the tiny abode.

Here we go, they start their skilling. Hopefully Angie and Miles will earn the $10,000 we need to move Angie and Joseph out. Angie also paints when she isn’t sculpting.

How cute is Joseph, he went to sleep in his brothers bed. I was a bit weirded out actually.
You have your own bed with a wife and everything.

Joseph then started on the garden, I figure he really needs to bring in SOME income.

With all of the money they did earn, they were taxed $2,000.
It may take a while to get the Lord household, and I’ve decided Angie and Joseph aren’t having kids until they have their own place. Pressure is on.

Oceanview Rotation 8 O’Brien

Oceanview
Rotation 8

O’Brien

A lot of updates today! I had a lot of free time so why not? This is probably the last one for today though.
And we are going to spend it with Eliza and Stacey O’Brien and their mass of dogs that I got rid of straight away.
These guys are persistent with their pups.

A shot at their little house, it isn’t much but Eliza has maxed painting so can easily make up a lot of money through that.

Eliza also has two more wishes to use! The first was for money so they could buy back EcO’Brien as that stayed with the Wright household. It cost just over $99,000 so it worked out well. It hardly brings anything in though.

So Eliza gets to making some money to afford things like lights.

And I want to get some babies underway but nothing happened this time, well I didn’t hear a lullaby.

At least I extended their house a little bit.

The next day Eliza uses her last wish on something then we get a lullaby.
I wonder what that wish was?

Suspense.

Eliza paints to earn money and Stacey is getting decent at writing.
Soon they’ll be able to make a lot of money for taxes and everything. Keep me happy.

Stacey is also a neat freak so peed himself as the toilet wasn’t clean enough for him to use.

He’s a total derp.
That is a magnificent face isn’t it?

Finally, Eliza shows off her pregnant belly!

But as nothing else happens, so we are going to jump straight into baby time

Meet little boy Jack O’Brien

Followed by Lily O’Brien apparently.

I say apparently as I named Aiden before Lily so I presume Lily is the youngest and Aiden just got stuck in the bathroom.
Yes, Jack, Aiden and Lily O’Brien: triplets! And mixed triplets too!

It’s all fine as they are on the same schedule for everything. Looking after baby goes down like clockwork.

Then it is time for their birthdays since babies don’t do much. First Jack.

Followed by Aiden

And finally little Lily. I don’t know where her dark hair came from.

This is where we end the O’Brien household! But not the Rotation ;)
I’m finished updating today but next time get ready to see some familiar faces in a new household!

Oceanview Rotation 8 Exipeth

Oceanview
Rotation 8

Exipeth

Welcome back to the Exipeth household! We are in Rotation 8!
As this is a massive household I will introduce you to everyone, like I always do.

The kids are in the first shot, on the left thinking about pianos and is an alien is Barnabas, behind him is Moose. The child with the red hair is Ronan and the child with the yellow shirt is Draco. Draco is talking to Betsy and her twin Zara is in her scuba gear thinking about potions.
Narcissa is mourning over her husband Zasarn (who died a few rotations ago now)

Speak of the devil, Zasarn comes to visit!

Unfortunately it is not exactly a quiet night as Draco turns into a teen.

Narcissa still tries to get something out of Zasarn but with no result I’m afraid

Barnabas and Zara are the only ones I care about as they are so close to maxing Logic.
They are forced to sit here all day everyday while everyone else does as they please.

Narcissa manages to get abducted and I was excited until I remembered she won’t know the alien as a result of this.
I was hoping to do some kind of Daisy Chain with her but I guess not.

A few nights later, Ronan grows up into a teenager and he is fantastic.
I’m completely stuck as to who is going to stay in the Exipeth household and carry on the name.
I love all of them.

We have an array of birthdays! Zara grows up into a Young Adult!

As does her twin Betsy, this is going to get exciting!
I’m trying to not mess the ages up too much which is why people will probably move out on the first days of rotations so I don’t play them twice.

Zasarn teases with one last visit and again is a prude.
No ghost baby I’m afraid, at the beginning of next rotation Narcissa will be an elder. There just isn’t time.

Barnabas, being a day younger than the twins grows up into a Young Adult as well!

As does his Imaginary Friend Moose! I’m thinking of moving a few of the young adults out at the beginning of next rotation (depending on if they have the money to do it) to form the Green household and start giving Narcissa more grand-babies.

But that is all for now!

Oceanview Rotation 8 Wright

Oceanview
Rotation 8

Wright

Welcome back to Rotation 8!
And what an exciting Rotation I am going to bring you, I promised new households and I will deliver!
First I’ll introduce this bunch above me: in the first shot is Eliza, playing the guitar, and Stacey O’Brien. Happily married.
Below we have Penelope Wright who has just become a young adult and is ready to start a family to carry on the Wright name!

On the first day of the rotation I move Eliza and Stacey O’Brien out to a new lot just round the corner.
We finally have a third household in Rotation 8!
It is just a small household because I think they moved out with less than $10,000 (just a little less though), I think they’ll be fine.

We shall see them after the Exipeth household.

Same first day, Penelope proposes to Paul Exipeth!

Of course he said yes and they were quickly married.

Paul is taking the name Wright and we’ll all just have to remember that he is connected to the Exipeth household.

And, I simply couldn’t wait so Penelope and Paul created a lullaby for us all.
I had planned to wait a rotation or two but I was just too excited.

Confirmation of the first generation 3 baby :3
(Generation 3 of the Wright line and Exipeth line)

The didn’t get straight on that lullaby actually, I think it may have been the next day because this is all they do.
They both have LTWs that are to max two skills (I can’t remember the names now but I know Paul needs to max painting and writing and I believe Penelope needs to max logic and mechanical)
I thought I had prepped Penelope to takeover the garden but no, she had no points in gardening!

Hello baby bump!

Not a lot happens and then before we know it: Baby time!

Meet little boy: Guybrush Wright!
I am ecstatic that he inherited the green skin tone

Then over the short three days where Guybrush is a baby and not a lot happens, Paul gets skinny!
(He spends a lot of time focusing on this Athletic skill)

I decide that since it is the last night of the rotation, and because this baby is third generation of two of the households, that I should have a party (not like any one cares when the kid is about to grow up)

Guybrush grows up into a little cutie. It looks like he is going to potentially have red hair and his mum’s purple eyes too.
He’s going to be an interesting one!

We end the rotation with Conrad cleaning up after the party. Cheers pal!

Oceanview Rotation 7 Exipeth

Oceanview
Rotation 7

Exipeth

Cursed IF.

This is Moose the Imaginary Friend doing that weird glitch.
It’s so creepy.

But welcome back! Maybe his creepiness can reflect my all around halloween-y mood I find myself in.

So in the Exipeth household (for reals) we have, on the far left Zara with Paul who has his back to us. Two random dogs they adopted in my absense (goodbye), Betsy next to the computer who seems to have lost her mermaid-ness :( Then in the foreground, ultimate mama Narcissa and on her right Barnabas holding the youngest Ronan.

Since Betsy has lost her mermaid-ness she won’t be counted towards the Supernatural population anymore (1/5)

The only one not there was Draco, second youngest.
It’s such a big household with random names so if you get confused don’t worry. I do too.

Moose fixed himself. We’ll be working on making him a real boy this rotation!

Zasarn Exipeth (Narcissa’s late husband) came to visit a very un-pregnant Narcissa.
Unfortunately he was a huge prude and did everything up to Try for a Baby.

Paul went on a jog and got arrested because the officer thought it was a prank. Um, what?
It’s not even after curfew.
She then changed to her swim wear or something just as scanty so I think she just fancies Paul really.

I’ve been working Barnabas so hard he always pees himself, like all of the time, but he must be close to getting the IF potion now!

Ronan grows up to a child!
I feel bad, I neglect him a little bit. I’m so caught up in making Zara and Barnabas get their Logic up.

Getting this keyboard is the biggest nuisance ever.
They always stand in the doorways to watch whoever is playing, getting in the way of everyone else.

Soon it was time for Paul to have a birthday! Here he is, a young adult!

And we also welcome a new member to the household: Moose Green! (I changed his last name just because he isn’t part of the Exipeth bloodline and well, his hair is green)

It was actually Zara who made the potion, Barnabas did not do very well with logic for some reason. It’s such a chore.
I thought you were an alien! Isn’t this supposed to be inbuilt?

(Moose counts to the supernatural population as he is an IF, so we are back up to 2/5)

Speaking of aliens,
Voohun (I think) comes to visit, he’s just a random alien of course but I make Betsy run out to meet him.
I’m a massive alien fan and I need to start thinking about spouses for all of these children.

Speaking of spouses ;)
Now that Paul is a Young Adult, and so is Penelope Wright, I let these two get close. I’m excited about these two and I know I should add a new household right now but instead I want to play with Penelope in the Wright household and sort out her sister too. Then I promise we will have a new household!

Oceanview
Rotation 7

Wright

Welcome back to the Wright household!

I have to tell you now that I’m updating from my ipad which is a nuisance as I can’t lay things out how I want to and I’m having the same problem with my computer so I need to come back and change it to be happy. Anyway, let’s get on with it!

From left to right: Penelope Wright (teen), Stacey O’Brien (adult) and Eliza O’Brien (previously Wright, young adult)

Of course they adopted horses.

I can see you both, don’t try and hide behind buildings!
They were put up for adoption immediately.

This rotation is a lot of focus on skilling and earning money.
We need to make a lot of money so that Stacy and Eliza can move out into their own household soon and Penelope’s logic is close to being maxed so we will be able to open a Science position!

Eliza’s hard work pays off as she maxes the painting skill!
She is also a money maker, whips out a painting  worth over a grand each time.

But to save time, Eliza gets the Genie and uses a wish for fortune.

With the $100,000 from the genie Eliza invests in EcO’Brien!
Another resort meaning +1 CAS points!

With 2 CAS points I will be adding a new household very soon! (But it is next rotation)

At EcO’Brien I notice Barnabas Exipeth and his glitchy Imaginary Friend, Moose, having a party.
I’ll have to deal with them when it comes to their household, I am not looking forward to it. I hate glitchy IFs.

Neat freak ghost Conrad comes to visit :)

It is the last night of the rotation and Penelope is so close to maxing logic. I need to grow her up but I’ll wait till she maxes it.

This is to symbolize Eliza’s 5th Master painting therefore completing the all the challenges associated with the Painting skill

Art Gallery: Unlocked when a Sim achieves the Master Painter Skill Challenge

So on our 4th household we can at least have an Art Gallery!

And on the morning just before the switch over (I might have actually went over an hour or two) Penelope maxes out her Logic skill opening a position in the Science career and then she immediately grew up into a Young Adult!

Yes I should have done it the night before but she was so close, like annoyingly close.

Oceanview Rotation 6 Exipeth

Oceanview
Rotation 6

Exipeth

Welcome back to the Exipeth household!

Today I’m feeling sorry for myself because I’m ill so I thought I’d get on updating. However I don’t have my notes with me so I probably won’t get a great deal out but I can still get the majority of it ready so next time I can whizz through them.
(Then I checked and I havent even got anything for this update so I’m writing this ill and uninspired but posting it late)

Re-introductions are of course in order.
We have Elder Zasarn and his wife Narcissa. They have a butt load of kids.

Their children are: teen Paul who is standing beside Betsy who is next to pure alien child of Zasarn and unknown alien, Barnabas and then next to Barnabas is Betsy’s twin Zara.
There is also newborn Draco who was born last rotation.

Our third grave: Zasarn Exipeth.
The guy with the most kids in town. All of which are going to be miserable for the next few days.

Thanks for the gorgeous kids Zasarn, you alien humanoid you.

Then they all piled on Grim to interact with him.
You little bunch of weirdos.

Little Draco grows up into a toddler. So far he is the most ‘normal’ of them all in that he hasn’t inherited anything alien.
Well he does have Zasarn’s purple eyes. Does that count?

Yeah that’s right, Narcissa is going to have Zasarn’s baby. I said I probably wasn’t going to stop. Do you think his death is going to stop me either?

Two words for you. Ghost. Baby.
Although this one was conceived before Zasarn’s death.

Also, I really should have aged Narcissa up before the pregnancy as she is 21 days into her Young Adult life and should grow up to her Adult life state. What I’ve done and plan to do (and I’m sure you’ll see it happen) is keep a count of these extra days then when I age her up I’ll just add these into her Adult life. Bad timing on my part.

I’m just excited for another Exipeth baby!

It isn’t long until Zasarn is out and about! He’s such a family sim even after life.

Other than the one, the household mainly skills.
Zara is working on an Imaginary Friend Potion as Barnabas has an Imaginary Friend I would very much like to see. Surprisingly he is the only one in the household with one.

I wasn’t ready for it! But soon, Narcissa gives birth to baby boy Ronan Exipeth.
I’m disappointed that the fertility treatment only worked the one time with the twins :(

Immediately after putting Ronan down Narcissa ages to an adult (I’m adding the 3 or 4 days she was pregnant / extra YA days to this lifespan so she has the right amount of life)

She then worries about her weight, which I’ve never seen a sim do before.
She is also having a mid-life crisis but hasn’t rolled any bizarre wants up.

I’ve never seen this before either! The mail man was chased by the tiniest of tiny dogs (belonging to the Wright household across the road, surprise surprise)

The mail man also kind of looks like a male version of the late Alma Wright.

Paul you stud! I decided to try and be interesting with my teenagers.
Basically, Paul and Penelope Wright have been friends forever but they also fancy each other. I’m going to take things slow with these two though since Paul has another rotation of being a teenager really.

(Paul is a great choice, look at his nose! He will fit right in with the Wrights #nosewatch)

Then we have a triple gonzola of birthdays. Starting with Ronan becoming a toddler.
The only one so far to inherit red hair.

Red hair! I didn’t even think of it as an option even with Narcissa’s red hair staring me in the face. Where is Zasarn, we clearly need more Exipeth babies. There are too many combinations.

Betsy randomly fainted and I have no idea why. I got her up and aged her to a teenager.

Followed by Betsy’s twin: Zara!

I am so excited for Zara’s future offspring.

And to make Betsy a little bit more interesting I let her eat Mermaid Kelp and viola! We have a mermaid!
(I’m counting this towards the supernatural population! 2/5)

Just a shot of Narcissa working out. I decided that if she wants to loose the bulk she can. I like her big though.

Mermaid adventures with Betsy!
She has level 10 in the Scuba skill and even lost some weight (even though there were a ton of pop ups telling me she was putting on the pounds)

The next evening we have more birthdays!
Barnabas, and we can finally get those alien perks.

And Draco too!
Although Draco’s birthday may have been a different night. I’m not sure.
This house is getting so overcrowded.

As a teen we finally have some alien powers so Barnabas has become a wonderful sim to have around.
He helps with everything and is working hard to max out his Logic.

That is all for now! But I have good news, I did play all the way up to the end of Rotation 8 (!!) so I have a lot of writing to do at some point. For the rest of the evening though, university work is on the agenda :(

Rotation 6

Wright

Hello! We’re back visiting those good old Wrights. I’ll reintroduce you to the small household. This is Alma Wright.

Penelope Wright

… and Eliza Wright

Whilst Penelope was working on her Logic skill she found a black hole worth $10,000! Penelope is focusing on her Logic whilst Eliza focuses on her Painting Skill and Alma just runs.

We were able to spruce up the house a little for the first time in ages!

To be fair these guys don’t need a lot of room. After playing an almost full Exipeth household these guys are plain sailing.

This isn’t anything remotely to do with chess, please draw your attention to the the four horses in the background.
SO looking forward to getting back over the the Exipeth’s and dealing with those.

The household that skills together, stays together.
It is really hard to keep you all interested when this is really all they do.

But things are about to change! I’ve practically forgotten what a birthday was like.
Eliza grows up into a Young Adult!

I don’t know if you remember Stacey O’Brien but I’ve worked on his and Eliza’s friendship for some time now!
Firstly, Eliza gets him to move in because when they get married she will take his name so they can go off and give me a new household!
That’ll be fresh won’t it. A third household after 6 rotations.

We whizz through all the mile stones in their relationship and there you have it! Eliza and Stacey O’Brien!
Stacey is an adult and Eliza is a young adult. A bit of an age gape but we did see these two playing catch like 3 rotations ago.

But the household is a little bit broke at the moment, it’s not possible to have the O’Brien’s move out yet so I’m waiting until they have enough to move out ($10,000 minimum)

Then Alma passes on.
Fare thee well.

I know I haven’t mentioned it until now but I was waiting for a photo to pop up that signified it.
Alma had mastered the Athletic skill and had also completed all the challenges associated with that. It opens up a career in Athletics / Professional Sport or whatever it is. I don’t normally go down that route.
Anyway, there is a position there. Of course, there is no rabbithole so for now it’s not really that great.

Alma passing of old age has also dented the plan on moving Eliza and Stacey out. They had the money but now they can’t leave Penelope alone since she is only a teenager still. So now they will have to wait for her to age to a Young Adult herself which is the end of next rotation.

Super! Well, that is all for now. Up next, the Exipeth’s.
