BACC Getting Started
Gameplay Options
Neighborhood Setup
Create a new save file and bulldoze all of the lots in all neighborhoods and remove all premade sims.
Willow Creek and Magnolia Promenade are the only neighborhoods that are open at the start of this challenge. The other neighborhoods must be unlocked in order to build or live in them. See the neighborhood page for more information.
Creating the Founders
Create 4 families to start. All sims created must be young adults. Sims should not have any pre-existing relationships with each other.
Randomly determine:
Optional: I personally play with these modded aspirations.
Selecting Careers
There must be one Treasurer and one Gardener to start. These sims must have the Materialistic and Loves Outdoors traits, respectively. If no sim rolled these traits in CAS, you may assign them to whichever sims you'd like. These must be two separate sims.
For all other sims, jobs are chosen based off of each sim's traits. Traits will always be randomized for your sims in this challenge. See the careers page for more information on how traits link to each career.
Starting Funds
After placing each starting family on whichever empty Willow Creek lot of your choosing, use the money cheat to set the family funds accordingly.
This money should be used to build small homes for each household, not to unlock any commercial lots.
Meet & Greet *Optional*
Before beginning the challenge, gather all of your founding sims on one lot for a day and have them mingle. This is a great opportunity to gauge potential relationships!
