I am still very new to this; however, I was reminded of why I decided to create my page. It was to showcase representation and encourage different styles of gameplay. I will be posting my newest and ongoing neighborhood. It is called Semmes (no it is not a play on words, but yes it is pronounced the same way). My BACC is vastly different from the regular rules of BACC. I did not grow up playing the premades or playing the different challenges. I have my own play style and would encourage you not to be bound by artificial rules.

Playstyle: I play each household for 3 days (sim years). Starting this Post I am only 9 years into my Custom hood. (I wanted to give my sims and myself time to allow the neighborhood to grow its own personality). I also play in rotational order of my sims. Unless it is College or a Military Subhood (not created yet). 

The way that I play is fun to me and encourages me to continue playing with one neighborhood before I break my game.

I am still learning how to properly set this up. Please be patient with me. I do not usually set it up as storytelling as my world is ruled by what my sims want. I will link set up links soon. I will be updating this as often as I can working in Corporate and being a very busy person.

Amaya: Let's go to the Electronic Store before our sister works us to death.

Amara: Amaya! Are you serious? Amani has a plan to make us the best of the best and create generational wealth. You know you could show more enthusiasm about this.

Amaya: I just want to have a good time in life. You do to. Besides she going to have us work in that restaurant night after night and you know it.

Amara: Well It cost to be a boss.

Amaya: Of course you would say that. You let anyone us you.

Amara: Let's go home. I think your mean streak is showing.

Amani: Perfect you guys are back. So let's talk the business. I say we split ownership by 40/30/30.

Amara: Sounds good to me.

Amaya: Of course you would say that.

Amani: Amaya stop being a lazy good for nothing. This is serious and you poke fun at your sister? Anyways. I'll be the chef. Amara you are the hostess because you are great with Sims. Amaya you can be a server since you like every sim to look at you.

Amaya rolls eyes.

Amani: Well it is settled. Let us go to our new luxury business that will put us on the map as a triplet black female sim family.

Amani: The restaurant is a success, of course. Since we paid of the debts for this, I say let's open another business. We can run the hospitality space.

Amaya: Uhhhh.

Amara to Amaya: Well, you were right about the working hard all night.

Gabriel, Brenton, and Krystal decide to go out to the club.

Brenton: I want to meet a female sim.

Gabriel: I do not mind either way, but that bartender sure is fine.

Krystal: I'm going to check out the bubble blower.

Gabriel: So, you had any fun tonight?

Tsunade: What will it be? Poured or Blended?

Gabriel: Poured. Yeah so are you busy later.

Tsunade: I think we both know I am pretty busy at the club.

Gabriel: Yikes. A little feisty.

Tsunade: Yeah, keeps the wacko lover male sims away.

Gabriel: Well, it didn't keep me away. Let's connect later.

Gabriel: It's later. So, let go on a date.

Tsunade: A little pushy.

Gabriel: It gets rid of the wacky lover male sims right?

Brenton gets to know a female sim.

Brenton: Please tell me your name.

??: No. It feels even better this way. Wouldn't you agree.

Brenton retrieved the mail thinking it was for him, but it was for Gabriel.

Janelle and Michael Fowler opened the first daycare in Semmes. Michael's twin sister works closely with Janelle and Michael works on the operations of the daycare.

They give a tour to the first parents in the neighborhood.

Janelle: We would help your babies learn how to walk, talk, and nursery rhymes.

Menewa: This is amazing. Expensive, but worth it. It is hard to think about all those other things for our sweet babies and take care of the,

Janele: Precisely. Furthermore, they will grow and bond with our their current class and next generation of babies in this small town you know.

Marissa: It used to be a small town. Now it is steadily growing.

Janelle and Michael get close and woohoo like married Sims do.

Janelle: Okay Carissa, it is potty time. Mamoru you just dance your little heart away. LOL.

Michelle definitely needed some fun. This fine male sim was introducing himself to the new neighbors.

Michelle: What is your name?

Johnathan: Johnathan Bailey. What s your name goregous?

After a nice woohoo session.

Johnathan: You are a very interesting sim. I would love to see your daycare.

Michelle: Really, I thought you would think the daycare is boring.

Johnathan: No. No. I am very interested in the first daycare in our neighborhood.

Michelle: And then Johnathan said there was a male sim with an ALIEN BABY!

Michael: Oh my gosh. That is crazy. I am glad you came with us from Sim City. Seeeeee. Staying with your twin is not so bad.

Michelle: You are right. I love Janelle. Besides when are you guys going to give me a niece or nephew?

Well. Janelle is working on that constantly.

Johnathan: Then she was being crazy when I told her I did not want to be with her anymore.

Michelle: Wow. This Marissa sounds sooo crazy. I met her the other day so it is just crazy to hear that. Sorry she is your baby mama.

Johnathan: It's not the worst thing. I have you. Besides I can come see you at the daycare one of these days.

Michelle: Oh yeah, your baby Carissa is there, right? You can come up there then.

Johnathan: Yeah, but Marissa has it to where I can't be around them.

Michelle Yeah them. Not Carissa. Besides I would not mind at all. I'm sure your daughter misses you.

Janelle: (I hope we can woohoo again).

This may not seem like a milestone to some, but it is for me.

Because I am more of a storytelling simblr, It would be best for me to find ways to show the Sims 2 community how appreciative I am.

I willing be sending donations to 3 creators in honor of 30+ followers. I think it is imperative that we show the creators who are working outside of their corporate jobs to create some of the best custom content and mods I have seen in Sims 2. Each time I hit a milestone with my follower count I will either increase the number of content creators or the amount with the same amount of content creators. This is not performative community engagement to my fellow content creators (please check my posts to ensure consistency), this is about me giving back to the Sims 2 community. I give back by not only being apart, but being an active member of the community. Because I am not a content creator or modder, I do the storytelling side of Sims 2 simblr. I can also give back monetary wise. I know the creators DO NOT REQUIRE persons to pay them, but this is something I WANT TO DO. I have the means to help keep our community alive and that is my goal.

1st Creator I want to give a shoutout to is glorianasims. I love her CC. If she was to come back to the Sims 2 community, hopefully she will receive welcoming arms and the protection she deserves. I am unable to send her a monetary donation due to these circumstances.

2nd Creator is @jacky93sims. I love her CC as well. She is so open to just creating custom content I have no idea when she has time to play the game herself. Thank you for being open the conversions and the swirling ideas that we have in our heads in the Sims 2 community.

3rd Creator is the new content creator (that I am aware of) is @skyhighstarflower. She has beautiful CC for your game. She has created hairs that I have been absolutely loving in my game. (You will see in future post)

4th Creator is last on this list but not least at all. That would be @simmin4life. I love watching her videos on Youtube. She has different games outside of Sims 2, like Inzoi, and more. Her Sims 2 Customhood videos are engaging and cozy.

Creating content for Sims 2 is not just mods or custom content. It is videos, streams, discords, and different groups. I was introduced to the vast world of Sims 2 through PleasantSims' videos on Youtube.

Elizabeth: Thank you for coming by Juan, but I have to go to work. Well. You can get a nice smooch first.

Benjamin: Yeah. Come on in. Liz is pretty busy, but I should get to know the only sim she is entertaining.

Benjamin understands that his twin, Elizabeth, is razor sharped focused on becoming the first doctor in Semmes. He wants to protect is sister and ensure everything works out for the best.

Benjamin: Wow. We are about to get married Sara. Let me show you my appreciation for you.

Sara Ann: Ben! You have to go to work. Let's just do it on the couch.

Benjamin: We should all come together to discuss the new plans.

Sara Ann: Thank you for the meal honey.

Elizabeth: Thank you for the meal ---.

Laughter floods the table.

Elizabeth: I will not need to get accustomed to him being married. It's weird. He is my brother. My twin. I am happy for the both of you.

Sara Ann: Thank you. I guess you are my sister too now. I really think once we get married we should move out and buy land.

Elizabeth: All of us? As in all four of us?

Sara Ann: Yes. All of us will work great together. We all have simoleons saved to buy a big home.

Elizabeth: I see why my brother loves you. Yeah. You think just like home simoleon wise. Yeah. I think that's a good idea. I have no plans of settling down anyway. What about you Mary Grace? Aren't you engaged?

Mary Grace: Yeah, but I would rather bring my simoleons into owning a home.

Elizabeth: What if you change your mind?

Mary Grace: Then it will be fine. As of right now, I think it is best for all of us to combine our finances like Annie said.

Benjamin: Well it only takes a table full of female sims to figure out what we do next. Yes, Sara Ann and I have been discussing this topic. I am glad you all agree with us.

Elizabeth: Well I can be around my family and see any future neices and nephews.

Silence....

Benjamin: Yea maybe not that yet.

Sara Ann: I agree. Let's work on our careers first.

Elizabeth: Oh yeah -

Mary Grace: They are perfect.

Mary Grace: I want us to take this to the next level Gaara.

Mary Grace: Yes of course! Of course Gaara!

Sara Ann: Gracieeee! You are engaged! I see the ring on your finger girl!

Mary Grace: Yeah....

Sara Ann: Gracie. What is wrong? This is what you wanted. We are both getting married to the male sims that we love the most.

Mary Grace: Yeah. I just...

Sara Ann: Gracie. Something is bothering you. Tell me.

Mary Grace: Something is just off you know. He mentioned us getting married and honestly. I don't think I want that.

Sara Ann: Okay. You wanted to get engaged. He proposes and now you don't want it? Are you afraid of love and getting married

Mary Grace: Not so much afraid, I just don't really care for us to get married now. I don't know. I think I'm just overthinking it...

Sara Ann: Gracie. You are not. As a matter of fact, come with me.

Mary Grace: What? Annie. This is your time to be married and --

Sara Ann: Yeah. You are literally my sister. Just not biologically. I care about your happiness. If you are unsure. That's fine. Just come with me. Besides this apartment cost too much. Once Ben and I get married we can all go buy a bigggg nice house and live together.

Mary Grace: I.... I guess. I think I would like that.

Sara Ann: Great! Because I thought I would need to drag you with me.

Sara Ann Ferguson and Mary Grace Fuller are the best of friends who seem to be more like sisters than anything.

Sara Ann got really cozy with Benjamin Franklin. He is just her speed and very handsome.

Mary Grace is invited out by Jill, but Jill seems a bit reserved maybe? Mary Grace can't put her finger on it, but why would Jill invite her out and then leave when she sees Gaara. Gaara is definitely Mary Grace's boo thing. Seems a bit odd. She needs a drink.

While Mary Grace is out Sara Ann and Benjamin go on a date.

Benjamin: I know this seems cheesy but I want you to be my first.

Sara Ann: It does not seem cheesy at all. I want the same thing. Please.

Benjamin: I love you with all of my heart. Will you please marry me Sara Ann. We don't know ----

Sara Ann: Of course! Of course I will marry you! I love you too!

Meanwhile.

Mary Grace: I love the dates that we go on, but should we take it to the next level now?

Gaara: What do you mean?

Mary Grace: What about a lifetime commitment? We can go on dates all of the time then.

Gaara: Yeah but that just doesn't seem ike my style.

Mary Grace (inner thoughts) It doesn't seem like his style? What is he talking about? He may just be in lalaland.

Sara Ann: Ben and I are getting married!

Mary Grace: That's perfect for you guys.

Sara Ann: Gracie. What's wrong? I know you want to get engaged to Gaara. What is stopping you guys?

Mary Grace: Annie. I'm not sure. He seems reserved about it. I want to but I just. What if this is a bad idea?

Sara Ann: Even if it is. We have one life. Besides. You are like my sister. No matter what happens. I want you to move in with me.

Mary Grace: You are right.

John: You are right my love.

Kakashi: Our son has arrived!

Tsunade fell in love with Johnathan.

However, Johnathan woohooed with a random female sim at the club she is the bartender at.

Clearly being in love with Johnathan was a mistake. Normally she keeps love out of it. Normally she is able to keep her cool, but this was not cool. He was wrong for this. She opened her heart just for him to squeeze the hope of love out of it. She is not big on love, but this was just embarrassing.

Gaara, her twin brother, is the dj at the club and he had front row seats to Johnathan's shenanigans. He has never seen his sister react like that to a male sim.

Gaara: I have a plan. Let's invite him over and jump him.

Tsunade: No. Sounds good, but I just want to move on. I have more male sims to meet anyway.

Gaara: I do not care about that. I want him to know what embarrassment looks like.

Gaara begins to get cozy with his apartment complex neighbor Mary Grace.

Gaara: I'm just looking for a good time.

May Grace: Me too.

Tsunade began the hunt for her next male sim Amin.

Rodney decided to stop by. He was a little shy at the club. He did not want to bother Tsunade while she was working.

Tsunade: Next time just come to me.

Rodney: You are right. I am not best at being direct.

Tsunade did not invite Johnathan over; however, Gaara knew that he would show up. Gaara made sure to make a mockery of him in front of all the nearby sims. Maybe Johnathan will think twice before he says anything.

Gaara: Hey Jill, let's go on a date.

Jill: Sure . I want to do more than just date though.

Gaara was really into Mary Grace, but he likes to date different female sims.

Tsunade was able to spend more time with different male sims. It is not about quality but quantity. Kennedy introduced himself to her, finally, after he saw her working in the club at the bar the other night.

I guess it pays off to be pretty with a twin brother.

FosterForever

(What started as a business partnership in their little electronic store turned into something neither Lee nor Anahita ever saw coming -- true love. Between the long hours and late nights, they fell for each other quietly and completely. They said "I do" right at home, surrounded by the people who mattered most. Anahita Ford is now, and forever, a Foster. #FosterForever.

After getting married, they immediately decided to try for a baby. After experiencing morning sickness, Lee prompted her to take a pregnancy. At her side, they found out she was pregnant.

The hours at the store grew longer.

Lee: We need help. Besides we need to think about raising our baby. You should stay home a rest, while I work the store.

She stayed home for a while, but she decided that staying home is not an option for her. Yes she is pregnant, but she loves her business just as much.

Anahita: I'm coming with you to work.

Lee: Onegaishimasu stay home.

Anahita: Habibi. I need to come to work, besides we will hire help and hire more help in the future.

Lee: Okay. It is nice to have you back at work though. Now I can relax in the breakroom.

Majid Fisher is busy running his small club in Semmes City.

After ensuring his bartender is doing her due diligence, he ensured his DJ is playing the latest tunes. With the bubble blower, he was able to get a great review on his business. He can bring the success home to his wife and dogs.

Esperanza finds out she is pregnant after taking the pregnancy test. (She does want to be pregnant). They have very different schedules and different lives. Esperanza wants a baby with her beloved husband, it is just really hard to deal with his business. He has to be gone constantly. He is gone all night and she has a steady pay in her career. Although he is the bread winner, she just wants it all. She misses her best friend at home more.

Esperanza: Mi amor. Can I speak with you this morning?

Majid: Habibti. Of course.

Esperanza: I am pregnant. I know we work, I know we are trying to build our income more, I know you are busy.

Majid: Habibti.

Esperanza: I know you love your business, I know your business is doing well, I know.

Majid: Essi. Slow down. This is great news. I love you more than life. I work hard so we can have everything the baby desires.

Esperanza: Oh. you are right. Okay.

As time went by the baby began to grow and Majid's hours became longer. The simoleons were increasing exponentially.

Sometimes he had to serve his bartender, a vampire, and Mrs. Crumple bottom. Do you want to hear a joke about that?

Nikole: Yeah. I thought it was weird when that happened but honestly female sims approach him all the time.
