Jaxson Hill is a game-generated townie who became an integral character of the BACC by, well, woohooing his way through the population, impregnating most of them while doing so. His absolute shamelessness won my heart, and he remains one of my absolute favorite sims from the save.

## Background

I wasn't tracking the development of the townies' lives, so I can't tell you if Jaxson started off as a single sim or was married off by MCCC, etc. All I can tell you is that by the time I started paying attention to him he was married and had three children--Moses Hill, Kailee Hill, and Kiersten Hill.

## Rotations 5-8: Arriving with a Bang

My sims unlocked the ability to interact with townies during rotation 3, but it's not until rotation 5 that I have a record of Jaxson entering the scene. And what an entrance! I had Slice of Life in the game, and this was the era where it infamously went off the rails and had sims randomly getting pregnant all over the place, including in my game. During rotation 5 Jaxson started things off by getting Leia Royal pregnant during the beginning of the Original Household's week and Maci Redmond pregnant at the end of the Original Household's week. (He also hooked up with Natalie Morgan, but by some miracle no pregnancy resulted.) He wasn't seen in updates again until Rotation 8, when he got Mabel Seagraves pregnant, once again during a hookup at the Original House. These pregnancies resulted in three sons: Darien Royal (with Leia), Elliott Redmond (with Maci), and Malcolm Seagraves (with Mabel). Other than a Jaxson sighting at the Redmond household during rotation 8, these were his only early appearances.

## Rotations 9 and 10: Becoming an Official Resident

As Jaxson's kids aged, he started being spotted more in the updates. I moved all the BACC sims into a new save in rotation 9, and Jaxson and his family along with them. Jaxson had to be reintroduced to everyone, of course, and seemed to turn over something of a new leaf, showing more of a penchant for bonding with his kids, making actual friends, and generally being responsible rather than randomly impregnating sims.

Jaxson actually showed up quite a bit with the Redmond household during rotation 9--he paid several visits to Elliott, attended his birthday party, and spent time with the family during their visit to the park, after which he came back to the house with them to hang out a while longer (and got pickpocketed by Lancelot Royal in the process). He also visited the Seagraves house a few times, where he got to spend time with Malcolm (and with Darien during one visit, too) and cleaned up a mess in the newly-redecorated hallway.

As Jaxson became more of an expected presence during neighborhood gatherings and at his sons' homes, I became more and more fond of him. While at first I was just content to let him just be a constant visitor and hang out, during rotation 10 I was anxious for Leia to have another child and really wanted to get Jaxson to be an active resident in the BACC, so I started working on building their romance back up. Right in the middle of this, he aged up into an Elder, which alarmed me and made me realize how attached to him I was. Leia rolled the want to ask him to be her boyfriend, so she did. (She then rolled up the want to try on clothes in the closet, and the first thing she tried on was a wedding dress!)

A few days later I had Leia propose to Jaxson, only to discover that he had remarried a townie named Skylar! Leia tried asking Jaxson to break up with Skylar, and he agreed, so I went ahead and set up their wedding and started the wedding event--only to discover that the game hadn't split Jaxson and Skylar up. (Since the wedding wasn't happening then, I did at least have Leia try for a baby with Jaxson, resulting in the birth of their second child, Rocky, later in rotation 10.) I ended up moving Jaxson in at the end of Leia's week and manually had him divorce Skylar myself. Jaxson was sad after the divorce but soon recovered.

Jaxson continued to be seen around the BACC during rotation 10, namely during the Redmonds' week. He and his son Elliott had a special relationship for sure--Jaxson frequently visited, and he and Elliott even became official BFFs during rotation 10. (This was especially nice since rotation 10 is when Elliott's mom, Maci, divorced his stepdad, Lancelot Royal, so having Jaxson around probably helped things feel more stable for Elliott.) He also visited his son Malcolm's house several times, even getting a front row seat to see Malcolm's brother, Jordan, age up to a Teen. Jaxson, Leia and Darien were seen going out to dinner together at the Genesis Diner during the Seagraves' week as well, and then during the Fyres' week Jaxson was seen dining at the Genesis Diner with Malcolm. Jaxson also attended Ricardo Tellez and Siobhan Fyres's winter park wedding, where his activities included being pranked by Maci right in front of the wedding arch and woohooing with Leia in the bush. Jaxson also attended Siobhan's birthday party and stayed around to celebrate New Year's Eve at the Fyres house.

## Rotations 11-15: The Elder Years

Jaxson's son from his first marriage, Moses Hill, and Moses's daughter, Scarlet, joined the Original Household in rotation 11, and Jaxson had a great time living with and getting lots of bonding time with both of them. Jaxson's other children visited the house a fair amount as well to get in time with their dad. And of course his kids were all in attendance when Jaxson and Leia finally got married at Pirate Wedding Park.

Elsewhere in rotation 11, Jaxson's patronage of Genesis Diner continued when he and Darien showed up there for a meal during the Royals' week. He was also in attendance at Jude Morgan, Naomi Royal, Avery Royal, and Leia's ill-fated shared birthday party, when Naomi had her glitched death from rage (though not until after Jaxson and Leia had woohooed in the bush again, conceiving their final child, Chloe Royal, in the process). He and Leia were also seen on a couple of dates throughout the rotation--they went to the Karaoke Restaurant together during the Seagraves' week and the Romance Festival during the Fyres' week. He was seen at the Karaoke Restaurant again when Charles hired him to work as a mixologist. On a less wholesome note, he was *also* seen hooking up with Daisy Fitzhugh, his son Moses's girlfriend (and later wife) during the Seagraves' Spookyfest party. Daisy actually got pregnant from it, but I terminated her pregnancy.

Most of the rotation 12 photos are lost, including the Original Household's. One of the households whose photos were saved were those of Kiersten Hill, one of Jaxson's daughters from his first marriage. Jaxson made several appearances during Kiersten's household's week, including celebrating Winterfest and New Year's Eve with them and attending her Winterfest wedding to Lancelot. He also visited his son, Moses, at the home he and his now-wife, Daisy, lived in.

Jaxson had a pretty quiet time during his thirteenth and fourteenth rotations. In both Original Household updates he's mostly seen taking care of his many children and being romantic with Leia. He kept up his tendency to appear at the Genesis Diner, this time taking Rocky and Leia there for lunch during the Royals' week. Jaxson also attended the usual round of club gatherings and birthday parties, and celebrated Harvestfest at the Hill-Royal house and Winterfest and New Year's Eve at the Fitzhugh house. (Admittedly, he and Siobhan Fyres *did* try to try for a baby during the Fyres' week, but I stopped them.) Jaxson also put in an exceptionally cute visit to the Fitzhugh household, where he got to play with granddaughter Harper Fitzhugh.

Family bonding and family visits (including, unfortunately, Daisy flirting with him right in front of Moses) were a big theme for Jaxson during rotation 15. This, unfortunately, was because I had gotten the alerts about his death being imminent. I made sure he was able to get in a lot of time with his loved ones first, including being the one to bring his youngest child, Chloe, to the cake to blow out their birthday candles. Unfortunately, he did pass away during the middle of the week. Afterwards the whole family was miserable and there was quite a lot of mourning at his grave. Jaxson being Jaxson, we did see him again--when his ghost called his son Malcolm to invite him to the Romance Festival! Irrepressible even after the end.
