Rainbow Canyon BACC ON HIATUS

Post by 108sims »

I've been wanting to start a BACC for a while. Should I have waited to finish some other challenges? Probably, but I wanted to join the BACC fun. All updates will be pretty relaxed and mainly just gameplay unless I find a story somewhere. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the sims of Rainbow Canyon!

Week 1: Pines/Hines/Nelson

Welcome to the bandwagon, told you venues are so hard. When having a restaurant make sure it is the whole family that run it as they won't quit, one for the host one for the server (and make sure they have some body points too as then they won't pour food over the customers) and one for the cook and not too many tables. Selling items is a lot easier to. I like to have the items cheap as possible for the first five ranks and then average (do not make anything too expensive or you will lose stars. Twins for your first population boost. I bet they are cuties too. But a great start :)

Yes, you were definitely right. Venues are a pain! Thank you for the tips about running a restaurant. I don't think I'll send the family back there until his child (or children) are old enough to help out. I had too many tables too I think. I loved how quick it was to sell items and improve the ranking! I might go back and try and get that business to level 10 next week. I was and wasn't expecting twins. I know my game likes to throw me multiples, but I wasn't thinking it'd be right away! I think the girls look cute so far.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

Going for a restaurant straight out the gate, you are brave! :eek: I think high body points are needed for waiters/waitresses not to spill everything everywhere, but other than that, I have no idea how to run a successful restaurant. Good luck with it all!

Looking forward to seeing the little ones as toddlers! And of course you got twins on your first try :lol:

I quickly realized that was a very bad idea! I'm going to have to wait and have Richmond go back later when he has kids old enough to help out. Thanks!

Yeah it wouldn't be my game if I didn't get twins. :D TS2 and TS4 really love giving them too me.

Thank you! I'll definitely limit table size too because things got a bit too hectic with the number of tables I had.
Thank you both for reading and commenting, and thanks for the helpful tips!

Yay for a new BACC! I love the name of your town. Restaurants are so tough, I think it's my least favourite business to have. I think opening up a restaurant, dance studio and art gallery at the start is a great strategy though. Good luck with your challenge, I'll definitely befollowing!

Yeah restaurants are definitely not fun. I don't think I've ever even attempted one before this. Trying to get some of the easier businesses out of the way first thorugh.

Thank you! I'm excited to see how everything goes.

I just couldn't resist!

Thank you. :) I have a few more sims that will be added this round, but then I'll probably keep my free sims to add for a while.

I'm excited to see their kids too! I wanted to add some premades for more variety, and hopefully they end up with some cute kiddos.

I love the new couple! Twins are definitely good for your population, but I always find them quite hard at the beginning of a challenge.

Thanks! They were super fun to play with. :D I agree about the twins. They're helping my population go up, but I'm not sure all my sims are going to be able to handle them with their limited funds.

lovely couple, did the music venue take long or did you have enough and put the shop in to?

It actually didn't take very long, once I picked up that stupid can. I was just trying to sell some stuff as well just to get more money. I kind of wanted to sell instruments, but I made it way too small for that.

I love reading BaCCs! This is a really fun challenge, specially on sims 2! This makes me really nostalgic for the game!
It's so funny that your single sims just don't have any luck with chemistry, but Skye does lol
Also, so many twins so soon1 your games really have something with twins xD I hope they don't give too much trouble so early on the challenge!
Can't wait to see more of this!

I'm having so much fun with it so far! I missed Sims 2 a lot, so figured why not try here (that and the sims 4 ruleset looks really hard).

It's just my luck that my single sims didn't mesh with anyone (though that changes next chapter). I'm surprised Skye has so much chemistry with everyone. Must be a Popularity sim thing/

I know! I'm glad it was just twins because I do have Triplets and Quads installed because I hate myself lol

I have the feeling this won't be the last I'll see of twins. It is true they're a good population boost.

I think they're probably my favorite couple. Don't tell the others!

Family sims need babies now! I'm glad they were able to have kids eventually because I felt bad for her. I'm excited too. I love seeing how babies turn out. :D
