SPREADSHEETS! I also play my BaCC with a spreadsheet and some friends look at me weird, but I really enjoy it and will keep doing it as long as I find it fun. Just as looking at other people's BaCC spreadsheets! Makes me really excited to work more on my own! :D
Although I am not one to use spreadsheets, I liked watching how you manage and it was really interesting. It's just something I wouldn't have the patience to do lol but I admire all the work and dedication you put into doing these videos for us. They're always so entertaining and I just love how dedicated you are to it. 💞
Before I used spreadsheets I had random notebooks on my desk and just kept everything in my head 🤓 glad you enjoyed the video even if the sheets aren't your thing!
Tea Addict, you are the Sims 2 content creator I have been looking for on TH-cam! I’ve even sent your videos to my husband to get him back into The Sims and we’ve now watched both of your BACC tours together and love it. It’s really inspiring to see someone put so much effort into their game and you’ve given me some really good ideas for my own neighbourhood. Looking forward to part 3 of this mini-series! Much love from the UK 🇬🇧❤
Ahhh I love these! I'm on the thick of my BACC and have been having a blast. I don't play super rules based but I've been trying to figure out how I'd like to implement things like taxes and careers. Really excited to see how you run the military base! Awesome work and gorgeous sims❤
Yeah there's a lot to figure out! I think the easiest way to do taxes is just make them pay a percentage of their net worth (maybe house value & business value) and then leave it there. I wanted mine to be more realistic 🤓
@@TeaAddict that's actuall a good idea! I was thinking of doing like 5 or 7% of their household funds so it changes every time depending how much money they have and then add in facts like if they have kids, businesses, cars, solar panels etc. Think that might be a good baseline haha
I love spreadsheets and I cannot play without them 😈 I definitely keep track of a lot of things about my sims and their neighborhoods. Thank you for sharing your bacc! It's so AWESOME!
I just found your videos and I am OBSESSED. So little simmers that still record sims 2. Appreciate your content sooo much!! So random, but ANY CHANCE you would know where you got the carpet flooring in the bedroom at 25:00
Hey Frankiie, thanks so much for the kind words! Absolutely I can fix you up with the carpet - it is a set of recolours of the maxis "comfy berber" carpets by Vimpse, download here: vimpse.tumblr.com/post/40676776371
You are the absolute best!! Binging your BACC series and i cannot tell you how in awe I am!! The attention to detail in the way you play is absolutely amazing!!! I hope you bring it back soon 😭😭 @@TeaAddict
@@vagabondaura no worries! Aw thank you, my BACC hood is my happy place. It is currently a private hood but I do provide gameplay updates for my Patreon supporters if you're interested (absolutely no pressure). Otherwise, I do upload speed builds of Hansen River lots here sometimes, or if you're interested we are currently playing Desiderata Valley on Livestream here on TH-cam, and hopefully I will be able to release more videos again soon x
Super excited to see the military video, I've never played in that way before or really watched anything like it either, although I know it's a big part of traditional BACCs :)
Pleasantview Beth: I've made this retirement home to ferry the elders of the town to the next life. Hansen River Beth: I've made this murderous golddigger witch to enact carnage on the elders of this town.
Thank you sooo much and Happy Mother's Day!!! Hope you get to rest some - also I did watch part 3 and I was so sad that it will not be a regular thing but I get it Thanks for Sharing
I'm about to start my first own neighborhood and the chalanges are helping the cogs turn 💡 Thank you for showing your sims and systems, can't wait to see the military base!
Thank you! I can't wait to make the next video haha but I have to finish playing the rotation in the military base first 😁 I've got about 3 and a half families to go
Thank you Beth! Enjoyed part 2 intro very much. You have a lot of patience that's for sure. Love the back stories andall the thought that went into that. Looking forward too more stiories.
Wow I loved this so so much. It's so interesting to watch what others have established, lol. Looking forward to part 3! I have also played with the "original rules", and to be honest, I fancy them. I might have to start new BACC...
So glad I found your videos because I just love BACC / integrated hood game play. I just started a new überhood/BACC TS2 hood and I've been thinking of ways on how to handle tax / city funds. In TS3 it's easy because I use my own mods created just for this, but with TS2 I always struggled on how to handle them. Now even though I have no plans on doing tax so in depth, this video did give me an idea on how I could handle it in TS2. Also, if you ever plan on making a new BACC series where you start a new hood from scratch and record everything I would definately watch it. Just throwing some ideas into the universe to see what will stick. Looking forward to watching the last video in the series. And also checking out your TS3 series.
I am scared and excited at the same time. I would love to get to this level one day. I just started a new neighborhood and some of things you have implemented I do those, but very loosely LOL. I will use you as my muse because I always end up with all my sims too perfect too much money too many in 3 bolters living they best pixel lives. But this gets boring as well. I get too attached to them and want to incorporate some variables so I can get more out of the game instead of everything always so perfect. Thanks for sharing and giving me some inspiration.
Wow that evil witch origin story was so awesome 😍I love how you just accepted what happened and rolled with it to create something different. I can't get over how lively and beautiful your hood is, it's such a work of art. Thank you for showing it! Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with for the military as well. Oh and that spreadsheet is intense in the best possible way. Really really cool ⭐
It was definitely something different to what I had in mind 😅 And thank you, my spreadsheet is what I like to call organised chaos hahaha. I love my little hood so much, it's been so fun to share a glimpse into it 😊
Wow! Its clear you have taken so much time and care in your neighborhood. I actually agree with you in the fun of the details. I really like the spreadsheet - the BACC was always confusing I just did what i wanted to lol vaguely resembling the challenge. Would you mind sharing the name of the church you spotlighted - I did try unsuccessfully to find it 🙏
I love your bacc so far, the spreadsheet is so detailed, I should definitely try because I always forget what I am doing. Looking forward to the next episode, the military town looks amazing already!
What a perfect timing! 😁 After a long day of meetings and discussions a tour through Hansen River is exactly what I needed. Going to curl up on the couch and watch. Or fall asleep. Either way will be perfect. ❤
@@TeaAddict I really did! It turned out to be secret option number three: get energized by watching the video, pull out my notebook and start working out some plans 🤦♀😂 and falling asleep after midnight, exhausted but happy. 🥰 I had been reading up on the BACC rules online since watching your first video with the tour of Hansen River. I recognized a lot of it in this spreadsheet and I love how you put your own spin on it and expanded on the rules. I'm still very drawn towards restricting my gameplay and adding on extra challenges, so who knows. A lot of plans never get executed, but sometimes they do.😊 Oh and I loved meeting the rest of your sims, they all have an interesting story, but the one with the satellite coming down... haha wow, I love how you decided to keep on playing and take the story from there. Going along with surprises like that sometimes make for the most interesting stories and backgrounds, love it. ❤ I'm really enjoying this tour, even without the spreadsheets, it's really entertaining to watch. 🥰
Really enjoyed this part and looking forward to the next!😊 Your spreadsheet had my head spinning but I loved it. I didn’t understand it all but I’d definitely aim to wrap my head around something similar when I one day tackle a BACC, I’d definitely cherrypick rules from all over the place too😆
Cherry picking rules is honestly the best, and I am always refining and tweaking them. I'm sorry if the spreadsheet was a bit complicated 🤣🙈 it needs refining lol
@@TeaAddict nahhh all the best spreadsheets are complicated to the outside but are completely clear and organised to the creator😆 It definitely sparked a lot of interest and ideas so thank you
I was very excited to see the spreadsheet!! I need to see more of the spreadsheets - what a beaut way of managing things! I'm now thinking about re-organising my tax sheet. I have a lot of stuff on my spreadsheet for my BaCC - but I've still misssed things that you've added!
Could you possibly share your spreadsheet? I'd really like to use it in my own BACC I'll be starting. I've never been that great at creating my own spreadsheets haha
Would you be able to share a pared-down version of your BACC sheet with your rules/tabs/calculators? I am awful at creating sheets but I really want to try playing like this because it looks so fun!
I approach challenge rules as "suggestions", lol. I definitely try to follow the spirit of a challenge but yeah I'm so not a rule stickler, either. I really like the family with the sensitive soul daughter named Summer. ~FM :)
Pirates Code.... They're more like "Guidelines" than actual rules!! 😁 Thank you for watching! Yes I love the Adams family too, Summer is such a precious Sim to play 😊
I don't have much to say, but to add that Jude is HOT! 😂 Yes, HR really needs a police station with the high amount of businesses (too bad burglars can't steal from commercial businesses) and the newly aged elders. As for Ismira and Louise, yes. 😂 The spreadsheet is lovely (as always). The playables and townie tabs are my favorites.
Yep! Definitely will try to get the police station ASAP, then everyone is allowed to have burglar alarms haha. And I know right? Jude is like 😍 hello there. Their children are going to be blessed lol
I love this hood, everything is so creative and thought out! I also love your spreadsheet, I've been debating doing a BACC for awhile but it always seemed overwhelming. Is there any chance you'd be willing to share a copy of the spreadsheet to use?😊
Where did you get your aspiration spreadsheet 😮? The only one I found like it is Belladovah’s, but it doesn’t have the Zodiac portion which I like on yours!
I made it myself! - I used a couple of different ones as a base and came.uo with something I liked. BellaDovah actually took mine as inspiration for hers but removed the zodiac portion and tweaked a few other things 😊
Hey! Absolutely loving these BACC videos they’re so interesting and I honestly can’t wait to steal a couple of your ideas for my own BACC😂 I was just wondering what your ageing is like for your sims? Just how many days are in each life stage? I struggle with some life stages being really long and some being too short so was just wondering what you do? ❤️❤️
Hi Megan! Glad you're enjoying the tour 😊 Oops I forgot to talk about my aging system in this video, I'll have to go over that in the next one 😅 I also found that some systems felt too long and others felt too short, so I basically just fiddled with it until I got it to a point I like. It's a bit complicated, but it's roughly based on: 1 year IRL = 1.5 days in the game. Babies are 2 days, Toddlers are 5, children are 9, teens are 10, adults are a total of 60, and Elders have base 14 with add-ons for good aspiration. I will do a more in-depth explanation next video; thank you for the reminder!
I’ve never done spreadsheets myself but I totally get the appeal I would love to be that organised in making a neighbourhood! Have you tried sims 3 create a world? I’m really curious about it
Yes, I had a good try at Sims 3 CAW back in the day. I never actually 100% finished making a world but there were many attempts haha. It was fun, bit of a learning curve though!
It's roughly based on 1 year IRL = 1.5 days in the game but I have tweaked some age spans if I like them or don't like them, always trying to strike the right balance. My pregnancies are 2 days, then it goes: Babies: 2 days Toddlers: 5 days Children: 9 days Teens: 10 days Adults: 60 days* (if I have a young adult, that lasts 6 days so if someone goes to college I subtract 6 days from their adult lifespan) Elders: base 14 days, with extra for high aspiration on aging up and less for low aspiration
I have it shared on discord 😉 check the pinned comments on the sims-2-bacc thread. Although I might need to update it, I think I have made some changes since then
Like I say in this video: it is about having fun. Keep whatever rules you want, get rid of the rest. Tweak things until it feels enjoyable. Don't get tied down to trying to follow the rules! I'm constantly changing things up to make it more enjoyable for myself!
After years of experimenting, I've settled on a "reverse BACC" setup that fits my playstyle better. Instead of having Sim owned businesses unlock careers and collect taxes etc., I have the careers unlock new community lots. So at the end of each round of play I total the career level of Sims in each career, multiply each total by $5,000, and then that is the total cost of community lots of the associated type that I can place in the neighborhood. That allows me to remove most of the bookkeeping (backloading it to the end of each rotation) while still maintaining the essential flavor of BACC-style play.
I'd never say never on that! But it won't be any time soon. Right now I am making videos of what appeals the most to me, what is requested, and what is fun for me to make. Sorry that you miss the rotational play 🙏
I use a mod from Inge Jones called the Institution Sign, and put it on any lot I don't want kids going to school. You need to download the sign as well as a patch to make it work, all of the information is on the website. You can change the object mesh to look like the maxis hydrangea bush so it just looks like a garden plant (included in the download)
@@TeaAddict Thank you so much for your help! May I also ask if you plan to continue release your Medieval Charter Challenge streams on TH-cam channel? I have noticed, that the last video was released four months ago, so I would like to ask 😀
I saw that you have a car business and I’ve never been able to figure out how to run one because I think driveways / cars are locked on community lots? I’d love another open for business tip video on running that kind of lot !! I looove how in depth you content is 🫶❤️ - also omg I wish I was good enough with math to create a tax system like that 😭😭 that’s so impressive although idk if I’d base my sim world on US taxes 👀 lololol
Yep so to enable cars in buy mode on community lots, you need to toggler wholesale mode on the business tools widget 😊 I talk a little bit about that in my OFB tutorial video if you wanted to check out more of my content! Glad you're enjoying it, thanks so much ❤️
Thanks everyone for watching! Let me know in the comments who your favourite family from today's episode is 😊 also.... SPREADSHEETS!! 🎉🎉🎉

hey tea addict! do you have info about the trait mods you use? im interested in learning how (if at all) the selected traits impact gameplay.
I don't sorry, but if you Google the "Sims 3t2 traits project" you might be able to find some helpful information!
What is your custom age set up? :) I want to change mine up, but not sure what to do just yet.
I should add I know how to change it, just not sure what works for me yet. :) right now I feel like their life goes by too quickly.
It's roughly based on 1 year IRL = 1.5 days in the game but I have tweaked some age spans if I like them or don't like them, always trying to strike the right balance. My pregnancies are 2 days, then it goes:
Babies: 2 days
Toddlers: 5 days

You can change the object mesh to look like the maxis hydrangea bush so it just looks like a garden plant (included in the download)
@@TeaAddict Thank you so much for your help! May I also ask if you plan to continue release your Medieval Charter Challenge streams on TH-cam channel? I have noticed, that the last video was released four months ago, so I would like to ask 😀
@@janeread3164 at some point, yes. They will probably get bulk uploaded
@@TeaAddict Thank you!
I saw that you have a car business and I’ve never been able to figure out how to run one because I think driveways / cars are locked on community lots? I’d love another open for business tip video on running that kind of lot !! I looove how in depth you content is 🫶❤️
- also omg I wish I was good enough with math to create a tax system like that 😭😭 that’s so impressive although idk if I’d base my sim world on US taxes 👀 lololol
Yep so to enable cars in buy mode on community lots, you need to toggler wholesale mode on the business tools widget 😊 I talk a little bit about that in my OFB tutorial video if you wanted to check out more of my content!
Glad you're enjoying it, thanks so much ❤️
