Desert Mountains Save File is Done!

 I'm happy with the Desert Mountains save file now. Here are the links for those who want it.

Desert Mountains CC for CC save

My save file has 

  • 8 homes occupied by families (all with backstories)
  • 7 empty houses ranging from 15,964 simoleons to 93,222 simoleons
  • 2 empty lots
  • 2 empty spaces in community lots
  • 19 community lots
Here's the latest addition to the families. 



Cliff Mahon, his youngest son Timothy, and his dog Missy


Cliff's oldest son Clancy and Cliff's wife Tess (I think I forgot to age Cliff and Tess up to adult. Whoops!)

Cliff Mahon comes from a long line of miners. One of his ancestors established a claim to an opal mine nearby that has been in the family for years - at least they are convinced they still own it. There are rumors that the claim lapsed due to missed maintenance fee payments, but Cliff is convinced that this is all a bunch of hogwash. He’s prone to intimidating visitors to what he believes is his property, and God help them if they try removing opals and other gems from the area while he’s around. (Traits: Mean-spirited, Over-emotional, No sense of humor, Ambitious, and Dog person.)


Tess, an aspiring sculptor, met Cliff at college. What drew her to him is anyone’s guess, but she must have been swayed by his rugged good-looks, and he may have been more even-tempered when he was younger. She married him and moved to his family’s ancestral home. Two kids later, she’s still here and still married - at least for now. (Traits: Hates the outdoors, Savvy sculptor, Neat, Irresistible, and Computer whiz.)


Clancy doesn’t have a lot of interest in mining or sculpting. He doesn’t like crowds or people he doesn’t know. What he does like is taking his dad’s boat out on the water and enjoying solitude. (Traits: Athletic, Inappropriate, Shy, and Sailor.)


Timothy takes after his father. Maybe he’s the next “heir” to the Mahon mining legacy. (Traits: Mean-spirited, slob, and loves the cold.)


What happened in my playtest save:

Cliff went to work his claim one day only to find a singer out busking. The racket she was making was drawing all kinds of people in.




He tried telling the lady in no uncertain terms that she was trespassing and needed to leave, but she didn't take him seriously.



Cliff thought he'd have better luck intimidating young Jolene Roland by yelling at her and hurling insults, . . .



but she gave as well as she got and up and slapped him.





No one talks to Jolene like that!



Cliff hoped that the noise from the drill would be enough to drive the people off his property, but they were only mildly annoyed.



Dr. Ellen astutely observed that this man had issues. Perhaps she has found her first client for her psychiatry practice! She went to introduce herself, but the man blatantly ignored her.



Eventually he stopped drilling, and they really seemed to hit it off.

Leisure Day was upon the town, so I sent the Mahons to the festival in hopes that they would meet and establish some relationships with the rest of the residents before I dropped them into the save file. It seemed everyone who was anyone was there. 


Tess met Maria Lopez, and they seemed to be getting along well.





Maria practiced archery while her son Hector canoodled with Jolene in the community garden. 


The snow cone machine was quite popular, and a line quickly formed. There was a lot of foot-tapping while they waited. 


As luck would have it, it was the night of a full moon, and Jolene became zombified. . . 


. . . Hector did too. 

The End.

Tiny Town Challenge Part 1

Image
 I started my version of Deligracy's Tiny Town Challenge. Hers is for the Sims 4, so I had to adapt it. I also created a Builders Version, but I'm trying the gameplay version. Here are the rules. MODIFIED TINY TOWN CHALLENGE The aim of this challenge is to build 7 tiny homes on one lot, for 7 sims that match their desires and skills. The Rundown: - Each sim has a set skill that you must utilize in order to fund their tiny home build. For example Frank Stem likes gardening, so you must sell things he grows to fund his Tiny House build.  - You must also represent each sim's favorite style and color in the build (see sim characters below) - You can only work on one sim's house at a time, move each sim in individually as you "unlock" them.  -To "unlock" the next sim, you must complete the previous sim's home.  How to play: - Start by moving your first sim into the Tiny Town lot. (64x64 size recommended.) - To select your first sim, you could use an ...

LEPacy challenge: Generation 9 - Gains teens - continued renovations to Roseward.

Image
 My game has crashed twice because I get wrapped up in the game play and building and forget to save regularly. I hope I didn't lose too much progress. I'll start this post with Fluff's graduation and the Gains family vacation to Egypt. I posted these on Facebook already, but I also wanted them here. I discovered that the option to "turn into toy form" did not make the imaginary friends unplayable like a ghost choosing to return to the dead. Instead they turn into the walking around kind. Both Snuggles and Fluffs wanted to go to Egypt, so after Fluff graduated, that's what the entire family did - except Simicon and the dog. Fluff graduated at the courthouse as in all games. I had put a jynx rug inside the blacked out shell. Later I changed the blacked out part to an interior with floors and walls - not yet furnished.  Gina has a crush of Fluffs, but now that he's a young adult, he can't be romantically involved with her. Gustav spied Raul Hearn, (the D...
