1. The story of a Prosperous BACC
~Meet the Families~

2. When the idea bug, it bites
bad. Considering that I
need another long sims
challenge like I need a hole
in the need, I really don’t
need another BACC. Or
even a Prosperous one at
that. Arbor Watch and The
NEW Pokemon Legacy gave
me enough of a headache.
But no the idea bug said.
So I bring Alcinen Heights!
*Cues fanfare*
Alcinen Heights is to be a Prosperous BACC, meaning to the best of my ability I have
combined the rules of a traditional BACC and a tradition Prosperity Challenge. In a
BACC the goal of the game is to build a city from nothing other hard work and toil.
The Prosperity Challenge follows the same thread except you make most of your
choices with the roll of a di. Or dice in my case, a twelve side di hand to come in
handy sometime. I’ll explain more of the rules as I go along.

3. The vexing roll of the di gave me six starting families to begin, with
several large families to make my hair start to turn grey. I almost gave
up in the making of the families.

4. The first family to set in Alcinen Heights is Jules Passion. She’s one of the
main reasons Alcinen Heights came to form. I made her playing around in
body shop one day. Jules is the only family I didn’t really roll for since she the
main person, I know it’s kind’ve of breaking the rules before I ever really get
started. But Jules is awesome.

5. Keeping with my unwholesome liking for an extra E is the Elephantes. Many of you will recongize Ethan
Smithe of Arbor Watch as the father of this family, don’t get too attach, he can’t stay long. The
Elephante rolled 1 elder, 1 teen, 1 child, and 2 toddlers. Poor Ethan has to be killed off the moments he
enters the plot. Anyways, matron of the family is Lilla, she’s left to raise her grandkids all by herself.
Gwen, helps her grandmother take care of her younger siblings, while trying to earn money to build a
proper home. Rulli was a care free child until the death of his parents and the move to a new town. Alex
and Hanna are twins and are excited to spend all their time with Grandmaw.

6. The Ghoti family is another unfortunate family to lose the adult early in
the game. I rolled 1 elder and 1 child. Chuck had been retired for many
years and lived alone until his daughter Elise took sick and had to move
back in, towing her daughter Jace. Chuck had liked his solitude, but loved
being around Jace. Chuck and Jace hope that moving to a new town
would help Elise recover from her illness.

7. The Tales family includes; Noah, Ramin, Samanda,
and Trevor. Their mother Ashley brought them to
their new home and vanished, leaving the eldest
Noah and Ramin to take care of their younger
siblings.

8. Because every BACC needs some aliens, I bring you the Supernova
family. Lexi(blonde) and Linda (red) are sisters trying to make their
mark on the world. Lexi had a fling(several) with Boolprop model
Xaiver Kavan. She gave birth to twins, Kirk and Zoe, and later had
James. Unfortunately Xaiver could not join her in her new home
due immigration laws.

9. And last but certainly not least the Canines. Rex was
obsessed with dogs from an early, to much
puzzlement of his father Lex. Rex named his own
little girl Pomerian and secretly hopes she’ll follow his
ways.

10. Because having so many families gives a edge as far as population
goes. I won’t be counting the houses until I earn enough CAS points
for each family. That way I don’t have too much of an unfair
advantage. Anywho, I’ve played quite a bit through the first
rotation. And! I’ve taken copious amount of notes so I don’t keep
losing the score sheet like I do for Arbor Watch.
