The Rules of Attraction, and How Babies are Made

I've been meaning to post this discussion of the ACR mod (Autonomous Casual Romance) for a little while now. It's a very large mod, and able to be personalized to suit individual tastes, and here is how I play it in my game. The numbers given are the ones I've modified from the default settings for my own game, and unless specified, you can assume I've left them at default. Check the ACR BCON Docs for more info.

learning by crash and burn

September 2079 - Sheldon and Alana Fortney are 47, Melissa is 12.

Melissa Fortney is twelve now. She's a quiet girl, doesn't make a fuss, doesn't get into trouble. She likes to go hiking, and they live just down the hill from the cemetery, which besides being a little creepy, is a nice quiet place to hike to sometimes. Melissa has always been an outdoorsy kind of girl.

2079, we don't need no education!

Another school year starts in Lake County!

the lofts, big fat chances

August 2079 - Paul Gallagher is 29, Cameron Gibson is 28, Charlotte Centowski is 25, Amelia Bradshaw is 24, Bella Bradshaw and Jeremiah Day are 23.

Bella and Amelia are actually getting along here in the lofts together. They're becoming almost something like friends. They never imagined the day would come, when Alon Hutchins had become inconsequential to them both, and long forgotten. We suppose that's part of growing up.

in college again

July 2079 - Brady Lind is 65, Meadow is 64.

Meadow and Brady Lind met in college, 35 years ago at Sim State University, long before Lake City University was ever founded. But they're moving back to college again this month, going back to school in their elder years. With Meadow's new appointment to President of the Lake County Board of Education, they'll have to live on campus.

the business of winning an election

June 2079 - Bryson and Madison Riley are 57, Keri is 18.

It's been a rough couple of years for Bryson and Madison Riley, but after some time, Bryson has finally made things up to his wife. However, he has not quite made up so well with his daughter.
