Goldbeard PI - Part 3 - The questionable produce episode

Image
 Coral has been feeling out of sorts lately. Maybe her job is getting to her.  In her latest case, it was discovered that the grocery store, the diner, and the bistro were selling genetically altered fruit to consumers and charging exorbitant prices. This "new, improved" fruit gave the consumers an extra boost of energy and sense of well-being, but this effect was quickly replaced by an upset stomach.  Coral purchased some tomatoes and then went to the hospital to sample them - just in case they had really adverse side effects. It turns out the effects weren't dire, but rather unpleasant, causing poor Coral to toss her lunch. She went to the media to blow the whistle on this scam.  This solved one case, but her next case is looking deeper into this mutant fruit travesty. Who is behind getting this fruit on the market without appropriate testing? Coral is so frustrated, she knew she needed to take a break and take care of her mental health.  After a good long ste...

Current Games - January 2025

 Pleasantville - small world with building shells created by Boring Bones. I have completed the interiors of the shell and populated the town. May be nearing the end of this game due to population increase. We'll see.  The Life and Times of Sandi French - Started in Sunset Valley (Revamped by Plumbob95) with toddler Sandi French to see where her life would take her. During her toddler and child years, I was pretty hands-off with the other household members - only letting them teach her skills if they had the want to do so. Sandi grew up, went to college, married Bernie Butler whom she met in college, moved to Barnacle Bay, had one child, took in her teenage half brother when her mother's health was failing, reached the top of the science career and retired, engineered another baby by cloning Bernie, and she and Bernie are now empty-nesters who moved to a custom world I'm not happy with, so I will move them again next time I play. The game ends when Sandi passes away.  (Sa...

North Winds Reboot - Part 9 - Setting up Linmeadow

Image
 So the boys were transported to Linmeadow. Like Kit Island, this is a small community. In this case, the creator built shells and placed rabbithole rugs, but additional building is needed to flesh the town out.  Since this town is unpopulated and has only partially furnished starter homes, I decided to make it a college town and try my hand at making a homeworld college.   I created a Student Union lot and inside it placed all the university rabbithole rugs. There was some trial and error with routing and making sure all the rugs worked, but I think everything is accessible now. The jury is still out on whether the in-class lecture will work. It didn't on Angelo's first term, but I think it was because I "fixed" the problem after he had enrolled. He's now on his second term, so time will tell. Ground level: entrance top center, admin rug in front of stairs, admin office upper right, bathrooms center left, cafeteria lower left, recreation room lower right. Floor 2...
