Welcome! I'm Arti. This blog is a Sims 2 blog! Currently playing 2 BACC's, though one is not yet posted. One is here on this blog down below, and the other is on @ghoulcrest-bacc (which is on hiatus). My sims 3 blog is @simsreaper. ⚠️under construction⚠️

🏰 Kingdom of Achashaw, a Medieval BACC

Welcome to yet another attempt at medieval gameplay - and this time I won't be giving up five rotations in (I've already played 'til Year 7)!

I originally wanted to make a simpler version of the Medieval Charter Challenge, but I ended up writing a whole entire 30+ page ruleset, which you can find here. I will be following that while working on building a Medieval Kingdom, all starting from one(ish) family.

Although my gameplay will be similar to other 'Hoods I've done, my posting style will be very different for this one. I want it to be very low effort - I can just quickly edit images, queue up everything and then get back to the game. I love Melacoo River, but it takes so much time to write the posts, I don't get to play nearly as much as I'd like.

There will still be some drama, and I will still do a detailed spreadsheet and family trees, but I will let the post images do most of the storytelling for me. I also plan to share a lot more behind the scenes content!

I hope you enjoy, and happy medieval Simming! 💚👑

If you haven't read my new Medieval BACC Ruleset yet, go ahead and check it out! You can get a more in depth look at the Sims' personalities there.

The founder of the Achard family, Benedict, and his wife Alice. They've been married for years and have been through a lot together - why not add building a whole new 'Hood to the mix? He is a Peasant Farmer and Popularity Sim. She is a Housewife and Family Sim.

The eldest son, Caine, and his wife, Delia. He is the Heir, so he will grow vegetables like his father. He is also a Family Sim like his mother. Delia is a Fortune Sim that will probably suffer as a Peasant. They have a young son named Gavin, who was born a couple years before the start of the 'Hood.

Flora is the Achards' daughter, married to a Bellshaw. While the two families will grow their own branches over the coming decades, they are still going to be cousins. Her husband is Elias, a Peasant Feller and Family Sim. In fact, both he and Flora are Family Sims, so I'm sure that means there'll be a lot of nooboos in their future (Watcher willing!)

bad things happen when im away from my computer and can't play sims 2...yall remember when I said I had an itch to scratch, yeah its been scratched now.

playing my BACC before I went away for the long weekend helped but now that I have like nothing to play since im away from my PC, my brain went crazy so guess who's making a new hood when I go back home tomorrow! 😝

the hood isn't challenge related or anything, its just following a story/script, though maybe a little loose and kind of writing it as I play and what my sims want. I already have a doc all set up with all the households figured out(there's 12 because I really shouldn't do more lmao..they get abandoned if i do more 😬). sim names are all planned but im kind of leaving things like aspirations, hobbies, and traits for when I can get in the game and properly use my aspiration calculator to really figure out the little details. though also some of it may just be based on the vibe I get from the sim once I make them in bodyshop lol

its not gonna be strictly rotational, I think I have at least 3 households that I will be mainly following, but I'll try and jump around the other households and do a little bit of gameplay posts with them even if they may not add to story because maybe they eventually will and I'd love to see how that goes

also im not abandoning my other saves, I PROMISE I SWEAR ON IT. I just get super focused on other ambitions sometimes lmao. anyways maybe this is my sign to make a neighborhood and upload it since I like creating neighborhood stories a lot but thats a future thing if or whenever I get around to it

Maxis-Match Custom Skintone - Lighter Light

So this is officially my first mod upload ever! It's wild that for all the time I've actually played and modded TS2 I've never really created my own content until now.

Anyways!

As much as I love the maxis skins, I always felt like S1 was a little too tan for certain sims I wanted to make, so I went ahead and lightened it just a tad.

This skin is fully towniefied and geneticized, so these will appear on randomly generated townies and NPCs and will apply to baby births so long as one of the parents is S0.5.

This skin also incorporates the Adult Male Ear Fix by IntincrMars!

Big thanks to @intincrmars for all the help and assistance in getting my head around the modding tools and a huge thanks to @handonthemouse for their Skin Adjuster Program for making batch-editing skin textures a breeze!

Let me know what you all think and let me know if there's any issues!

🖊️Household Summaries

Morpheus: This household certainly has its hands busy with toddlers. Darius joined the Architect career and immediately started at level 2 due to an ROS roll. At some point early in the spring, this house had some guests, Xyli, Bastian, and Yordrax. Xyli and Bastian had some flirts going despite Bastian now being engaged and had initally ended their relationship in the previous season, but now they both had a crush on each other again. Pola was happy to greet Yordrax with a kiss and they soon fell into each others arms in bed only to be watched by Bastian and Xyli, but that didn't stop them. Sunnite and Florella aged up into toddlers in the middle of spring. Pola soon found out she was pregnant, officially the last female sim to avoid having a child thus far, and she gave birth to a baby boy named Jaxon, who looks just like his father. Ke'hura got a greenhouse going to start a grocery store in the summer, which the town is in dire need of. At the end of spring, he and Darius finally tied the knot and got married out on their lawn, and Jaxon aged up into a toddler.

Lyari: A lot of holes were dug this round, physically and metaphorically. Bastian had started the season off with a demotion. Pomegranate and Pola got close and have formed some sort of relationship; they are both officially in love with each other. The city connection is desperately needed so more jobs can be unlocked or start to be unlocked so this household was tasked with digging all over their property. They did raise up the city funds by quite a lot and Pomegranate put the funds from his novels into the city funds. Everything was just fine and dandy until Pherlaeia got morning sickness, and things got really rocky when Xyli walked in the house, and Bastian couldn't help but get handsy with her right in the comfort of his own home for all to see. Everyone's upse,t but Bastian couldn't care less and woohooed with Xyli right in the bed he shares with his wife. Later that night, Pherlaeia got that first bump signaling her official pregnancy with his child.

Tonto: We start off the Tonto round with Christoph getting into a fight with Pola due to ROS. Melody also got her pregnancy bump while she was digging for gold. A bit of digging did happen this round but didn't last very long as a war goes on inside the house(toddlers). One morning during the spring, Melody nearly burns down the entire kitchen, almost killing herself and everyone who was home. Thankfully, she lived..due to a reset and out-of-control fire?? Nissa and Meadow aged up, joining their father and their older sisters at school. The classroom is starting to look like a classroom now, with almost every seat filling up! Melody's pregnancy went smoothly, almost too smoothly, as she quite literally had the very first(and hopefully last) quadruplets of Pella's Haven. Her and Wayde welcomed Vannesa, Alice, Gabriel, and Callum. On the second-to-last day of spring, the quads aged up into toddlers, with Gabriel being the only witch of the four.

Tulsi: A few things happened in this household compared to all the others. The girls were focused on earning as much money as they could so Xyli could purchase the construction company that was built in town. They managed to do it halfway through the season and also unlocked townies! Xyli did get a demotion due to a chance card before all of this, but by the end of the season, she was right back where she was at the start of this round. Begonia moved up to level 3 in the Law Enforcement career. Soon, it's going to be her turn to build something, and that will be the police station! All three toddlers in the house aged up at the end of the season, so goodbye toddler stuff, and hopefully for a little while. It's nice to not have to deal with them.

[fortunegnome]

Spring is over and summer is officially here! We have completed one full circle of a seasonal year with Pella's Haven!! A lot of things have happened in each household, and more things will continue to happen. Next season there will be some big changes, like households, some house updates, and a new household in town! Still working on that city connection, but with all these new households, we'll surely get there!

[fortunegnome]

It's summer which means it's time for Madeline to age up and hopefully she's a lot less of a glitchy vampire when she's a child!! If worst comes to worse, I may not allow Begonia and Christoph's children to be vampires until they become an adult, but let's see how she plays out as a child. In the future, I'll randomly roll for their kids to either be a plantsim, human, or human to vampire. She also looks exactly the same as she did as toddler, like I swear none of the other children had the same distinction Madeline does from toddler to child.

Personality: Scorpio | 10/8/10/6/7 Traits: Friendly, Easily Impressed, & Social Butterfly

[fortunegnome]

Paloma: "So what do you do as an Architect mom? Is it a fun job? How many houses have you built??"

Xyli: "Wow slow down, Paloma. That's a lot of questions. I work on blueprints for buildings mostly, other people do the big work of actually constructing the buildings. I own my own company right here in Pella's Haven."

Paloma: "Really?! Can we visit it sometime?"

Xyli: "Whenever you want."

[fortunegnome]

"Madeline sweetheart, I'm not done with the book yet, stop floating."

[fortunegnome]

Our little sculptor hard at work, she definitely takes after her mother.

[fortunegnome]

Ah shit I forgot about the birthday cakes but Paloma and Kyson aged up! They're kids now! Madeline will be aging up exactly at the end of this round as well but it's not time for her yet.

Kyson:

Personality: Aquarius | 4/4/9/8/6 Traits: Absent-Minded, Good, & Athletic Hobby: Sports

Paloma:

Personality: Aquarius | 4/4/7/7/8 Traits: Heavy Sleeper, Savvy Sculptor, & Loser Hobby: Nature

Both kids have such a great color palette with their mother's skin, the blonde works so well for Paloma.

[fortunegnome]

[fortunegnome]

Begonia invites over Christoph, after all her hard work she deserves this.

And immediately after the kiss, they decide to "sit" on the couch. I sure hope you don't become pregnant from this Begonia. One bugged child is enough.

[fortunegnome]

I've been sadly neglecting all the toddlers but now the girls can spend some time with them!
