Hi - started reading your BaCC and loving it, because:

[insert all the intelligent stuff other people already said, because I'm too uncreative to have anything new to say - waiting patiently for a free weekend to come up with something and replace this filler]

- as for your problem with Kiera and Krampus, being stuck on the Community Business sounds like you have an invisible visitor stuck as well - did you try this solution?:

Good luck!

Thank you, Twilightoutside! I will DEFINITELY give that a try. Gage's week will be up soon, and I'll include a Kiera update in that, as well, to let you know if your method worked.

Gage Uglacy's second week as Father of GageNation is up!

Spoiler: I try Twilightoutside's trick to get Kiera back and playable.

okay, so the solution made it worse...
Okay, I shut up now...

Oh! Add to household with a cheat? I'll have to see if that could work. I don't have Inseminator, but maybe SimBlender or the Batbox might work. Or the Tombstone of Life and Death? It's worth a try.

I DO appreciate the suggestions, really! Even if they don't work, it's something new to try, and I learn something new each time. For example, I now know that I can teleport away actually invisible sims, with the SimBlender, so if another sim gets stuck on a community lot, that will be my first go-to fix to try, and I also learned NEVER to delete a sim when you're at a community lot. I've done it at home, and it was OK, but not on the community lot. ANd I also learned to do daily back-ups of the neighborhood.

Thanks for your suggestions, and thanks for reading!

I use InSIMenator to fix glitches all the time, and not being able to use it while playing challenges makes me squirm a bit. It is definitely worth a shot!

Alternately, if you still want to kill Kiera, I have a few suggestions for how to do so very effectively... I've kind of been thinking about Sim-killing methods a lot lately... you'll see why in the next chapter of my Uglacy.

As for other things... wow, your poor Simself. Thank goodness high relationship scores take care of the chemistry issue, because Family/Romance is one of the worst dings to chemistry in the game.

Drowning. So simple. So classic. Why did I not think of that? I blame the pain pills. I mean, I've been doing death-moats since the original Sims.

Well, there's no room on Sandy Bruty's lot, but Christa has a nice big open space, perfect for a ladderless pool.
OK, now I have to see about drowning Kiera. You know, a ladderless drowning pool doesn't have to be too big, or stay for too long. I think it wouldn't hurt to stick it in Sandy Bruty's back yard. Hmmm, I wonder who would inherit her businesses?

I'd rather do that than Inseminator, because my small experience with Inseminataor was, let's just say "frightening." Of course, I also had ACR at the same time, and having Sim!Snape and Sim!Ron woohoo... There's just not enough brain bleach in the world. Oh, wait. Was that Inteenimator, instead? I don't even know. It's been, like, a decade. Anyway, I'll try the traditional methods first. After all, the whole idea of playing with minimal mods was to avoid even worse problems, right? I'm adding things in gradually. VERY gradually. I think my next mod to add will be the one where it stops sims from being stupid about where they put their coffee cups. Although I also want Paladin's time clock for businesses, with the option to automatically pay fair wages, so you don't have to chase the employees all around giving them a raise every time they earn a new skill point or talent badge. Although, I CAN do without it. In fact, sometimes, I prefer to just set everyone to "overpaid," so that they will work longer. Fairly paid workers take more breaks, but an overpaid worker will work a full eight hours, straight, so I can keep the break room for my owner, alone. In fact, Gage's grocery store doesn't even have a toilet, at all. It just has a couple of thrones. Did I mention I love witches? OH, hehehe. I did cheat a little last night, while I was playing Sandy Bruty. She was dating at The Shop (with no toilet), and since her dates were keeping her moods completely topped, I didn't think it was that big a deal to do a maxmotives or two, after the employees peed themselves. IT's not as if it affected the player character, anyway. Yeah, I think I'll go with the coffee cup mod today.

I'm almost finished with Sandy's week (I played a whole lot, yesterday), so you will see the results quite soon, I'm sure. And since I'm in extra pain today, I'll be on extra pills, which means that the ending should be surreal, for me, at least. We'll see what happens. Yep, already going googly-eyed. I have to stop typing, now. Love you Bye!

Edit: Nope. Changed my mind. I can live with the coffee cups. I'm getting a surprise! instead. Couldn't find the coffee cup hack, but I did find something I simply HAVE to try out TODAY.

And another update! Sandy Bruty's second week is posted here.

Thanks, Twilightoutside!

Oh, this is so cool! I read the Uglacy back in the day, and it's so cool to see Gage back! I love how your BACC is going.

Oooh, an update! AND THE CHRISTMAS DEMON IS SAVED! HAIL SATAN!

("Hallelujah" didn't really seem appropriate in context.)
Also, even though Krampus is back, I still kinda want to see Gage have an alien baby. The genetics would be fascinating, and the sheer hilarity of Gage getting probed in the butt by bug-eyed pollination technicians just never gets old.

Thanks, Avenie! Gage is not mine, he's Candi's but used with permission. He's just so much fun.

Anya, LOL! You're right about that! An angel choir just doesn't fit, at all.
Yeah, I want an alien Gage baby, too. That just never gets old.

Even if it didn't work out exactly how you imagined, I'm glad you found a way to get Krampus back into play!

So am I! Thanks, simsterlyrock! I already have big plans for my "demon child."

Cant wait to see those plans Michelle

I'm afraid you'll have to, because Krampus has to grow up, first. He needs to be an adult for it. But you know, it's kind of amazing just how fast the kids do grow in this game. Especially if you don't wait around for the game to force them to grow up. Hooray for birthday cakes!

I'm playing Christy Inada's week now. You know, I could swear she was Christa Inada in every other neighborhood, but in this one, she is clearly labled as Christy. She is not the best parent, but I've seen worse. The week's almost over, and all the Inada/Wendland kids are born and learning how to be self-sufficient.

Thanks for reading!

Just binge read the entire thing last night. Oh dear lord Gage is founding a nation? You're mad.

So, I'm getting a brand new, zippy-woo computer! I'll be able to host parties with more than two guests!

I've been WAY distracted, lately, anyway, and now this is coming soon, so I'm basically on hiatus, until I get the new computer. But that should be very soon.

Mystery, thanks for your comments! I do look forward to more madness. Gage is a blast!

Finally! Christy Inada's Week 2 is posted here.
