Hello :) Could you tell me where the models you used in your most recent K&B hair default post are from? If you made them, would you be able to upload them? Thank you!

Hi! I did make them, and I can upload them! My last post only shows three of them, but there are four, so all of them are included here. I've never uploaded Sims before so, uh, bear with me.

For reference, I use these skins, these lipsticks, and these eyes. Read the post to figure out how the eyes work, I guess.

Also, some of the eyebrows seemed to package weirdly so Linnea uses Brow 6 from here, Jessica uses Mouseyblue Pow Brow 3 and Kennen uses Trapping Syrendoft 12 from here.

Make-up and face details by kahlena, io and beccabear.

how do you play the boarding school? :)

It’s actually quite boring :P

They’re all in “apartments” (actually very small bedrooms) of their own, and it’s like a quasi-college - primarily all they do is skill build while they’re there, underneath the “watchful” eye of the school mistress until they marry or find a position :)

Triplets and quads replies

It's definitely a good challenge! Except I had to remove it when I had TWO families with quads. Time to keep it out of my dl folder for a few generations... :)

Haha, yeah, quads = mad house. I remember actually feeling stressed out playing households with 4 toddlers, since I want them all to be happy all the time. x) And the skilling... a generation of sims that couldn’t walk or talk until they were children, rofl

You can reduce the frequencies of triplets/quads - I find the default setting is way too high.

Yeah, I remember not even really trusting the frequency back when I had it... I had it set as low as it could go, but still seemed to have quads every other household :x

@dramallamadingdang​ said:

Definitely unrealistic -- the odds of having triplets naturally with no fertility monkeying is vanishingly small, much less quads -- but good if you want insta-big families. After just going through 9 toddlers at once, I almost think 4 would be easy!

That’s sorta the thing about it that I like: insta-big families. I don’t think I’ve ever fulfilled the “have 10 babies” want without it (is 10 babies even possible “naturally”? Do they even have time in one lifespan, counting that they don’t have children out of CAS, without using the elixir of life and without forcing twins every birth...?)... And I also sorta feel like I’d be so tempted to “cheat” if I have it, since you get to pick a number of babies when a sim gives birth, and if I felt like a family should grow faster I’ll force them to have twins/trips/quads... and I don’t wanna do that, hold me. :(

Love it! Would you ever consider writing a tutorial about how you retexture clothes? xx

Honestly all I do is futz around with other people’s textures until it looks acceptable. Almost nothing is my own texture, I am not that talented 8-)

Hi Mara! I love your BACC :) I was wondering, how do you decide on the names that you call your sims? There's such a lot of variety in your hood!

Hi there :)

I use an online random name generator (here) to decide the names for in-game born sims and townie names are randomized by using a mod from ModTheSims (here).

I hope this answers to your question. :)
