#bacc questions

[ts4-bacc]

Hi, I’m very confused on where I can find a proper explanation, or any rules of this challenge? 😅

Hi!

Sorry it took awhile to get to this! All the rules can be found HERE and if it's easier you can also find the spreadsheet with everything HERE

As for a normal explanation about the BACC: BACC stands for Build A City Challenge. And that's exactly what the goal is. Building up a city starting with (almost) nothing. To unlock new things you need to complete something first. For example: you start off-the-grid and to unlock electricity you need to have a sim max their handiness. Do you want to build a park? You need 3 Families living in your world and have a sim max the Gardening skill. You can do this playing in one family legacy style or in multiple families rotational style. There are a lot of variations to play, change up rules to suit your personal style and it's overall a different way to play. Sims is a sandbox game and I like to think of this challenge making it more of a progression game. Reach a goal to gain access to more of the game but that's my personal opinion.

Hope that clarified it somewhat and hope you'd try it someday! Have a nice day and happy simming! -Daisy

Hi, Daisy! How are you feeling? I'm almost ready to start my BACC, but for some reason I am very nervous 😬. I wanted to ask you few more questions. How do you handle seasons and pregnancies? I read the Tips on ts4-bacc, but I want to know how you play. I want to play in rotation as you do. Thank you!

Hi!! I'm doing good! How about you? So excited to hear you are almost starting your BACC!! Can't wait to see! For Seasons : I've set it to the 28 Days. Because this way I get to spend more time of a season with more households. For Pregnancies: I got a mod for it! Auto-Pause Pregnancy It gives you a notification when a sim should be giving birth so you can switch or just pause it completely when you are in other households. I also have a adjusted lifespan btw! It's somewhere between normal and long. Baby: 2 Toddler: 8 Child: 13 Teen: 15 Young Adult: 30 Adult: 45 Elder: 24 I spend a week in game with each household. From Sunday 00:00 to Saturday 23:59! Even when they are doing stuff I drop it right there and then! But most of the time they are just sleeping haha.

It's a bit more then just the questions you asked but I thought I'd but it in there as well! Kusjes en Liefde Kisses and Love -Daisy

1. Did Tyler actually propose autonomously or were you acting on his want?

2. Had he had this want all week, or was it that he wanted to ask her on a date and it escalated?

I love how involved you all are! 😁 But I'm happy to answer your questions so here we go 😊

1) Tyler did autonomously propose - ACR took over, hence my shock because he has the Dislikes Children + Non-Committal traits. Just when I think I have a character figured out, they do this to me! 🤦‍♀️

When they had the autonomous woohoo on the sofa I assumed they'd just go to bed as both of their energy was low.

But NO he just walked up to her and fell to his knees! 😲💍

2) I believe he gained this want the day before the date took place but he was working on that car all day and by the time Zoey got back he was asleep on the sofa as he had no energy left!

When I see a want like that I will most likely lock it in because DRAMA! 🤣 Hence why you see locked wants on some of my screenshots.

Any other questions? 😇📝 Thank you for the asks!

Looking forward to the Horse Ranch update, but understand that might take a while. Any hint on whether or not Chestnut Ridge will be a default world? Am starting a new BACC soon and wondering if its the right NEIGHborhood to move my starters into, lol

Hi!

Yeah it might take a little. I'll be on vacation and want to play a little of the pack to see how and what. But for now I think you should look at cottage living. I think the world will be a normal start but the second world unlock might be a aspiration from the pack. The rest I haven't even looked at... sorry! But if you have ideas or if anyone else has ideas please share them:)

I'll try to get to it after vacation! Hope this helped at least a little and I can't wait to see you new bacc!

Have a nice day and Happy simming! -Daisy

Hi there! ♡ Will you be updating the rules again following the infant update and release of Growing Together?

Hi! Yes! I have some of the rule update ready and typed out. I just need to play a little bit and see if it's okay. Also still thinking about the recreation center I don't know about that yet, I mean I have an idea but not sure yet. So if you have ideas they are welcome!

Then I'll update the spread sheet and update the rule page. And then I'll post the Rule Update post. So I think it will be within 2 weeks that I've done it! Hope that's enough information right now! Have a nice day and Happy simming! -Daisy

Hi Do you have any unlock ideas for the Civil Designer Career branches: Civic Planner Branch and the Green Technician Branch.

Hi! How are you doing? The Civil Designer career is opened by having a sim getting to level 10 of the fabrication skill.

I didn't do specific openings for the branches. So that means they are both open at the moment you open up the Civil Designer career. Some careers didn't really need an extra unlock for the branches. Hope that helps! Have a nice day and happy simming! -Daisy

Hi Daisy! How are you? I want to ask for help. I want to start a bacc gameplay, but rules are so big, it's overwhelming, I'm afraid to get confused. I remeber you said you can help with starting out (sorry if I'm wrong). Can you please help me get started? Thank you! 💜

Hi! I’m good:) How about you? :p It’s so cool you want to start a BACC!! And yes of course I wanna help! As you know I follow the rules of @ts4-bacc (even started out to help with the page recently!) My first tip is looking at the Tips page right HERE.  Second, decide on how you’d wanna start. In what world to start because it will impact the rules, if you wanna play legacy style or rotational or both. Third, feel free to add, remove or adapt rules to your gameplay. No one plays the same. So no BACC is the same.  Fourth, don’t look ahead to much. Work with small goals. At the start handiness is just a must for electricity. These are just a few tips. But I can talk about it for years haha. Some practical tips then are: - Have a empty savefile (so no lots) - Have a way to keep track (either writing it down or using a spreadsheet) It’s a bit in general so feel free to asks more specific questions. You can play it in so many ways. No two BACC’s are the same! Anyway I hope this helped at least a bit! Also I’m working on a new spreadsheet! I hope to post that this weekend on @ts4-bacc! Have a nice day and happy simming! -Daisy
