- Hello everyone! Welcome to Hansen River, my 5-year old Sims 2 BACC Challenge. After showing snippets of this neighbourhood in past videos and streams, and always receiving requests to see more, I finally decided to go ahead and make a mini-series touring my hood. This hood has many sims and a lot of history, so this is just part 1 of the tour, focusing on the original founding family (The Hansen's) and their many descendants.
Hope you enjoy, thank you for watching!
The rules I started this BACC using: redmond-flats.weebly.com/the-...
The channel I was inspired by: / @simsandwins8998

I LOVE seeing other people's BACCs and ideas! As a dedicated BACC player, there's nothing more inspiring.
This was such a great tour, it was lovely to get to see this hood. Its beautiful ❤ The love and attention you've put into this project really shows, and that's so inspiring. You've mentioned the music business several times in your PV let's play so it was really cool to finally get to see it 🤗 All of these sims and their homes are so personable; I adore the way you've shaped their lives based on each personality. For example, the oldest son didn't take over the farm from his father just 'cause he's the oldest son, he actually got to live his own life and leave the farm to his younger brother who had the interest in it. I love that ❤ Loved the way you presented the hood too: you're such a great story teller
Thank you so much Ani 😊❤️ And yes, Benjamin taking over the farm just didn't feel right - it was always in Frank's blood. What I love, is that somehow in the Sims 2 you get these senses for the sims. Like I "knew" that Benjamin had to get out and make his own life, and I "knew" that Frank was the right one to carry on from Jebediah. One of the reasons I just adore this game.
Love watching this while Annie has me nap-locked!
Aw bless her ☺️ haha I need more CZcams content to watch while I have Aidan playing on the floor! Hope you enjoyed x
I have to say that I love that you used the original townies - they just need love. :)
Haha they do, they do! - And in some cases, some plastic surgery 🤣🤣 (just joking)
Sat in bed and watched the entire thing in one go with a cuppa tea - so inspiring!!! I love all of your sims, builds and the CC you have used. I can't wait until my sims have enough money and get off the struggle bus so I can actually expand and decorate their homes.
Honestly, most of my sims are still on the struggle bus or only recently getting their homes decorated! haha. And I may have spruced one or two of them up a little bit for the video 🙈😅 Your sims will get there! The struggle bus is what the BACC is all about hehe
@@TeaAddict I love the struggle bus 🚌 🙃
😱😱😱 You did it! I’m so excited!! Just about to lay my 8mo down for a nap, and then you know I’ll be curling up with a cup of tea and watching the heck out of this!
Aw I hope they went down for their nap and you had a nice recharge time!!
This is just video #1 haha. I was going to tour my spreadsheet and rules and aging system in this video (I recorded the footage) but I cut it out cos the video was going to be too long lol, so stay tuned for that in the next one 😘
I love that we get to see your Off-Camera BACC on camera, I never made it 5-years into a BACC hood yet, it's very interesting to see where the BACC goes.
i love your little town! it's making me want to start a bacc again. all the lots are landscaped and furnished so nicely, looking forward to seeing more of this!
Thank you! I made a big effort last round to do some needed renovations to the houses. It makes me so much more inspired to play when the homes are nicely decorated and have some personality!
I always love to see what other people are doing with their own BACC or BACC adjacent neighborhoods. It gives a great insight into how each of us adapt those rules to match our own preferred play styles.
yess i'm so excited for this! it looks so good so far
I love it! thanks Beth for sharing!
I love seeing your hood so much! Wow! ❤
this was so much fun to watch. you have inspired me to go on a cc shopping binge, and to finally start my bacc
I can't watch this without wanting to start a BACC now... what are you doing to me? 😂
I think I watched you build the Town Hall in one of your previous videos and I was actually very curious about the rest of the town. I loved seeing how beautiful and detailed everything is. The farmhouse with the garden plots, landscaping and whole farmhouse comfy and cozy style was really beautiful. The introduction of that first house gave me some Minecraft vibes and starting out with a first-night-shelter that grows into a castle or whatever, when you talked about it starting out as a 3 by 3 shack, and the rest of the house was added on later. I can almost feel how much fun it must have been to build the house up and add to it along the way. Everything is just so comfy and cozy and I really love the whole farmhouse style that you achieved there in general.
The beer garden sounds like such an amazing addition to the bar & grill! I really love how simple, yet perfectly fitting in it's looks and functionality this building is for it's purpose. And that hardware store! ❤
Ok, so here I am, watching the video, writing along, because I wanted to leave a more in-depth comment to the video, since I fell in love with the town in the first minute... when halfway through I suddenly hear you mention my channel's name! So that was a bit surreal. 😂 Might need a minute to recover. 😁 Thanks for mentioning that! 🥰
It absolutely shows how much you love this neighbourhood and these characters, which made it really captivating to watch. There is so much life and depth to all of these backstories and family histories... and I live for that sort of thing. 🥰Loved the tour, you clearly put so much love and attention into this hood and I'm officially in love with Hansen River now. ❤
Haaahahah I'm sorry!! - you basically did start a BACC though with Cherry Blossom Springs, and the amount of history you have in Simsville!!! - those towns are your BACCs, and don't forget it ☺️
Thank you so much for your kind words. And YES of course I mentioned your channel! - I love the way you play, we are both like, systems and spreadsheets kind of gals 🤓🤓🤣 I loved your interior designer character that you had - as I was watching her I was like, "oh, yes, I need one of these Sims in Hansen River" lol.
Thank you so much for watching, hope you enjoy the next videos too where we meet the rest of the Sims and I will go into more detail about my rules and spreadsheets! ❤
Oh, and I was also inspired a little bit by your editing style by the way - having the Sims DOING things while I talk about them is a lot more entertaining than them just standing there on pause haha. So also props to you for that 😅❤️
@@TeaAddict I'll definitely be there if there's rules and spreadsheets involved, count me in! 🤓❤😄 And looking forward to meeting the rest of the sims too!
@@TeaAddict oh wow, thanks! ❤
What a delightful video! All the lore and details just so good!! Can't wait to watch thw part 2 😊
I love this, thank you for taking the time to share with us. I love the family history in neighbourhoods like this and your passion for creating stories and characters is evident in this video. I am looking forward to finding out more about this neighbourhood in future videos.
You make me want to play modern Sims 2 again!
This video was so much fun. I'd love to see more. :)
Loved this video! I just love seeing other people's games
I just started playing Sims 2 again and I am always a little confused looking for a Sims 4 item and realizing, duh, that’s in Sims 4. Lol. And I see sooo many 4t2 things on this video and it’s giving me cognitive dissonance. 🤣
This looks so fun though. I’m inspired. I just have to stop being such a control freak and being bothered if family trees aren’t the same number of generations on each side. I stress myself out. 😂
Thank you for sharing your custom neighborhood with us! I would never have the patience to do one, so it’s cool to see
Oh this neighborhood terrain is BEAUTIFUL!
Loved this so much! Would love to see a part 2
Miles Long 😂
Thank you for sharing your off-camera bacc! I love how you have so many of the original Maxis townies married into the families.
Honestly I thought that name was pretty funny 😅 I just so happened to be up to "M" on the alphabetical naming convention and I was like, OMG 😅
I absolutely LOVED this!! Amazing! I think I am attached to everyone now lol. I had so many questions but now i forgot. Im excited to view parts 2 and 3 - I see they are already up
SO MUCH LORE 🥰 I love this! It's so nice looks wise, all the families are so detailed and I love how they all have different traits and hobbies and skills and there's not copycats running around. This must have taken so long to do and I am a huge fan. I also won't be upset if you wanted to do a live stream of this neighborhood more often because I just want to see a lot more of it. Great job!! 😁
This was a fun video! I've never played a bacc and you're making me want to start one lol.
Love love love your BACC! You're so creative and I enjoy watching your videos. Aidan's cameo just made the video better ❤
I literally started my own BACC after watching your videos about it. And I love you town, it is so cozy. Hope there will be more videos about this hood and it's residents
Love your bacc! I´ve played many bacc´s through the years, never finished one but it´s still so much fun. My last one that I really loved crashed with my computer so I just started a new one on my new computer. I really like the look of your hood and the buildings, wow, great inspiration for me.
Really enjoyed the stories and love watching BACC videos! Do appreciate all the work you put in to entertain me and others and I watch everything.
Thank you, glad you liked it! ❤️ This was a very fun video for me to make ☺️
I love this! Can’t wait for more videos!
Yay, I'm so inspired to film the rest of the series!
This was a great watch. I can't wait for the next one 😊😊
Thank you! ❤ Glad you liked it!
Your hood is so inspiring, and your storytelling is awesome, I love it so much! You have so many interesting mods and cc like the careers and wants! Do you keep a list of your mods or cc anywhere?
I’m usually a bit scared of adding mods in case I do it wrong but I would love to try some of these! Xx
Yeey Beth, BACC is the best! Thank you for sharing this on yt. :)
You're welcome ☺️
Your neighbourhood looks amazing! I love the country feel
I am a country gal at heart ❤️
I have been waiting for this video 😊. Beautiful neighborhood. I hope it wasn't a burden to share your personal game play with us.
Not at all! - it was actually a joy, I was so excited for everyone to meet my Sims haha. Still want to keep the actual gameplay mostly off-camera though haha
Love the town, Beth. And I would love to watch a Hanson River series if you were willing to make one. And the baby boy is growing up so cute. So adorable
It's probably going to remain mostly off-camera, but I do want to maybe start uploading gameplay pictures to my Patreon if that would be interesting to you ❤️
Haha my son is sooo cheeky and cute! I was trying to film and he was on the floor making as much noise as he could - he was playing my guitar at one point 🙈 had to cut that footage out lol
wow! it was too interesting) i playing BACC now too) but with clean templates) I generate npc children when a new sim is born. They grow up too. I also built 2 nursing homes in my neighborhood😁
Loved this! So excited to see more of the hood. And it's making me tempted to try and bring back my BaCC lol.
Sawyer particularly enjoyed seeing Aidan and walked, yes walked, to the tv to talk to him 🥰
Oh my gosh Sawyer! Sit back down! hahaha bless him ❤❤❤❤
@@TeaAddict I wish he would some days for sure. He's not fully walking but walking more and more every day
Loved this! It’s so fun to see your neighbourhood and hear all about your Sims, I can’t wait for the next part. You have me almost wanting to do something like this for Brightmaple but I’m also overwhelmed just thinking about it 😅
OMG, well if you did... I would watch the heck out of that 😅Thank you for watching it, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊I'm always super inspired by your builds and businesses to make my sims' homes and businesses more beautiful!
@@TeaAddict I have been kind of wanting to at least do a community lot tour of my main hood, show stuff like the pool, the parks, etc. I’ve done lot tours of my vacation hoods and my downtown but not the main hood!
Loved this! Thank you! Can't wait to see more. I love the vibes of this town and it looks like you have some really interesting rules, gameplay systems and mods going on! I'd love to know more. I will do a BACC one day and this is inspiring. Btw, do you use Epi's Baby Personality mod? If you don't that might be why you have lots of grouchy sims as in the maxis system, they tend to run out of personality points before getting to the grouchy-nice section.
I don't have that mod, I should really install it 🙈 I am sick of grouchy Sims lol.
Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed the video 😊 we will chat a lot more about rules and systems in the upcoming videos!
this is awesome
Your hood looks soooo nice and cute, thanks for sharing! Do you have any tips for starting/playing a BACC? Things you wish you had known earlier?
Yes I do, I will go through some of those in the next video 😊 thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for this cute video!
You're so welcome!
I love the tour.
Meadow's Munchkins. 💕 I hope Meadow marries into my Uberhood soon, I haven't had her as a playable in years.
I thought it was a cute name 😁 right now that business is in the "four posts and a roof in a field" phase lol. But it will get there!
Love this! I wish you'd upload a blank version of your spread sheet
There's a copy available on my discord! But I will add a fresh blank version to part 3 of the series when it comes out next week :)
Thank you for this video, it's so fun seeing your BACC lots and businesses! I always love how you build up a whole story for each sim with their traits and things rather than leaving them 1 dimensional.
Can I please ask what the yellow star on the wall is I kept spying on the business lots, is it a mod object? I thought might be, but if it's just a decorative star ignore me! 🤣🤣
Hey Soraya! glad you enjoyed the video 😊😊 Ohh the yellow star is a mod! - super useful, it's a mod that allows you to give customer loyalty stars instantly to anyone who visits the business.
When I rebuilt the hood, I had to figure out an easy way to get my rank 10 businesses back up to rank 10 because there's no way to set that or cheat that. So I found that mod, and played the businesses for a day, maxing out any sims' customer loyalty instantly when they came to the lot, and ranked the businesses back up 😊
I was wondering do you know where I could find the supermarket conveyor belt at 10:46 ? Also I just found your channel and it's amazing! ❤Looove your gameplay style, there's a lot I wanna incorporate into my game now
I would love to see what mods you use. :)
Wooow, I really love how connected everything looks, super immersive 🔥The storytelling behind sims is superb, I've got to note what you are doing with the Sims 3 traits for my own gameplay, hehe 😄
And have I got it right, that pictures at 12:00 are custom recolors of the maxis frames made by you?
Thank you so much! - and yes, I have done some custom family portraits for the hood. Still need to make some more! - I do have a tutorial here on the channel about how to do that if it's something you'd like to know more about
Like I know alexart show it in small scale but you have such a big map
I made the terrain in Sim City 4 on just the standard small size map tile, perhaps that is larger than some of the other terrains in TS2?
I’m late but this terrain is amazing. Do you think you could ever release the terrain? I’d love to do my own BaCC with this terrain
Love this ❤❤❤ maybe play it online sometimes if you want
Maybe in a sneaky stream every now and then 😉
Love the neighborhood, I was just wondering if you could give any advice on how to rebuild a neighborhood that has been corrupted.
Hi, glad you enjoyed the hood!
Unfortunately I don't have an easy way out for you...
To rebuild Hansen River, I:
1. Noted ALL of my sims' information in a spreadsheet minus memories because I decided that would be too hard, sold all businesses & cars
2. Moved them all out of their houses
3. Cleaned all of the lots using the Chris Hatch globe cleaner & the lot compressor to clean all lots of Sim references
4. Extracted all of the Sims in SimPE and saved them to a folder, then cloned them in body shop and added them to my SavedSims folder (to appear in the SimBin), including any deceased ancestors for gravestones
5. Created a blank, clean new hood with no townies or Sims (there are tutorials online for how to do this)
6. Used a program called "Hood Replace" to import my terrain, lots and hood deco, and create Hansen River 2.0
7. Recreated the Sims and families in CAS from the Sim Bin, restoring all personalities, relationships etc that I could, and moved them back into their lots, re-unalived any Sims who needed to be
8. Fixed any relationship issues in SimPE (for example, setting two adults as mother and child) or with mods
9. Restored traits, businesses, and cars, and any inter-family relationships.
10. Created my own custom townies
11. Used mods to rank my businesses back up to the level they had achieved and rehired employees, using mods to give them talent badges where needed so I didn't have to retrain them.
The whole process took quite some time 🙃 but I'm happy I did it. In terms of advice... take your time and be thorough!
Seems like a fun challenge
It's very fun! The rules can be a little complicated but I have just tweaked them until I'm happy haha
@@TeaAddict Haha, I would like to try it
Watched this already but came back again just because I love BACCs and seeing how peoples' hoods develop and how their towns grow. One of the best challenges and I hope my BACC one day will look as lovely as Hansen River❤
I’ve just been rewatching this video, your hood is so cute and cosy :) I have a question, how did you make the family photos that appear at 12:00? Both the big frame and the little pictures on the fireplace, I’d be really curious to know how to replicate them in my game (I hope it’s not a trivial question and that I’m not embarrassing myself 🙈)
Hey! Thank you so much ☺️ I made those by taking screenshots and then creating some custom recolours of some photographs. I have a tutorial here on the channel about how to create custom recolours, and I demonstrate how to recolour pictures in particular, if you wanted to watch that!
If you need extra help with it, feel free to come onto my discord (linked in description) where me or someone else who knows about recolouring will be able to help x
Thank you so much for your reply! I will make sure to check your video on custom recolours then :) and I've joined your Discord, thank you for the invite! If I find myself in trouble I'll know where to ask :)
What custom lifespan do you use? :)
Bring the drama!!!!
*sips tea*
How did you get such a big work space?
You said Hannah works part-time as an art teacher… Is she employed in the Education career, then, or how do you handle that?
No so I just summon her to the school on Art days (Tuesdays I think?) And then at the end of the week the "government" pays her a small wage ☺️
Where can I find the buyable police car!

Awww NOOBOO! Cheeky little monkey 🙈
