I salute your long and tasty style of updating! :D Wish I had the patience to save it all up like that ( ... )

Thank you! For some reason I can never edit myself. No, you must see pictures of the toddlers doing cute things even if it has no bearing on the update at all! LOL. I usually take 200+ photos each sim day while I'm playing. It's ridiculous ( ... )

HAH! And I'm kind of the opposite. I have to consciously remember to take pics. It happens more easily in my favorite households, but for the ones that are just "parents work, kids go to school," they're really not that exciting, you know? Of course you're doing interesting things with your households, so ( ... )

I love seeing your pictures on tumblr. It's so interesting how we all play the same game, even by the same rules, but it's all in our own style. ^.^

I agree with you. I hope when/if they bring back comments it's more in the style of how LJ and DW comments work -- more of a thread-based style. I really miss being able to say little things like "So cute!" or "Great Idea!" on a post. Sometimes the heart isn't enough!

On a slightly random note - in England there has recently been a new law implemented where all carrier bags are 5p rather than free (not sure whether you're from England or not) so maybe that is why all of the settlers decided to go shopping with bags already in hand ;-) haha.

I don't think you have to worry about people thinking you're pushing religion down their throats! ♥

On a note of the update, the kiddies are so cute! I'm assuming you're using Almightyhats aging mod or one similar? You're one of the only BaCC's I've read who is also using that mod and I'm so ecstatic! Feels like real life growth.

Do you use a specific ruleset or just play as you please? :)

No, I'm not from England but I am one of those hippie Californians that brings reusable bags to the grocery store :) But charging for bags seems downright mean to me!

Thank you, I hope not. To me the sims is just light-hearted humor. Becca's "religion" is just that.

Yes I use Almightyhat's aging mod! I love it! This BACC is the first time I've ever really "played" the sims (for years I would just build and make sims but never play) and the age mod makes so much more sense -- especially with the toddlers. They get more time to actually learn their skills. Who can potty train more than one toddler in 3 days? That person needs a gold star!

I've made up my own rules using rules from other simmers. I have them here: http://darkestdawn.net/the-oceanside-project-rules/
It's long and wordy, lol. Maybe some day I'll add pictures to break it all up.

Thank you for the comment!! ^.^

Holly is a cutie-pie. And I'm sure Travis and Sarah will be too.

Hmm, I wonder if the GC is trying to recruit Owen or they're just slacking off growing their own bubble juice ingredients.

I think the religion part is fine (though I did laugh out loud when everyone gathered behind Becca). It's casual enough not to be pushy.

Those Goodacres have good genes ^.^

Maybe the GC could convince Owen to grow some of the special "herbs" needed in the bubble juice without him even knowing what they are really for... hmmmm....

Yeah that was weird! I guess when the other sims "listen" they come right up to the podium. I just assumed they would sit down.

Thank you!!!!

Aw, I like this simple, down-to-earth, farmy, baby-paradise family. :)

For the slaughtered chickens, can you store it in the inventory? Not as good as putting away as leftovers, I know, but at least it can be saved for later that way. I do that with pizza a lot.

Owen's new work uniform is cute! Did you make that too? Love the random hanging rubber chicken on the wall, by the way. :P Love your pictures in general. :D

I'm glad you like them, I do too! ^.^

Hmmm... I never thought of that. I will definitely try it. I hate wasting the food. I was thinking I would sell some meat at the grocery store too. Maybe add a butcher shop section! Hopefully the meat is salable.

I did, XD I also recolored Becca's robe. I'm on a copypasta roll, lol!

Thank you Didily!!!!
