  • Ok so I spent all night working on a website...unfortunately it's going to be way too time-intensive to accomplish. Some posts copy over correctly, some don't for whatever reason. For those, I'd have to manually save all the pics then reupload them to the site, then basically rewrite/format the entire post. As much as I…
  • I nominate Rebuilding Worlds Vol. 2. It's a building and genetics challenge, and the thread includes almost 70 pages of multiple players' progress, stories, photos, and feedback. It would be really sad for those of us who have put literal years into this challenge to lose all of that. Rebuilding Worlds Vol. 2
  • I just saw the forum announcement -- how would everyone feel about me archiving our posts on an external website? Like a blogspot / wordpress blog or something? I don't know if I will physically have time to do it by the time the forums shut down but I can try! I occasionally go back and read our old posts so I'd…
  • Hey guys, I had surgery on Thursday and everything went really well! I'll be recovering at home for several weeks, and hopefully I'll feel up to playing/posting soon :smile: Until then, I'll be reading your updates between naps :sweat_smile:
  • San Sequoia: And they were roommates... How did Kyle Kyleson the Grocery Deliverer get Nova's number? No idea. But of course she said yes when he invited himself over :smirk:
  • @Kiwicantdie I think of Prom Jester as the funniest or most mischievous/rebellious kid in school, but you could totally say the other students voted for her as a prank for story-purposes lol. That pic of Melina yeeting herself took me out :joy: :joy: :joy: Tasha straight-up tried to abandon her baby and move in with the…
  • Oh I wanted to warn everyone too -- apparently there's a major bug involving cas.fulleditmode right now. It only triggers when you enter CAS with that cheat enabled, but it can completely corrupt your save and possibly even other saves. If you use MCCC and have it set to 'always enabled,' you might want to disable it to be…
  • I can't wait to read y'alls updates (and post another one of my own), but I'm going to be super busy this week -- my parents took in a stray cat a couple months ago, it was pregnant, and now they have kittens! The cat had three last week, then another surprise kitten today! I had no idea that was even possible, but…
  • San Sequoia: Nova's Story Begins (Disclaimer: Please let me know if you absolutely hate all of the overlays/text -- I've been playing around with this editting style over on my tumblr, but I can post plain screenshots here if ya'll would prefer that :sweat_smile: ) Ok, onto the story now --
  • @OJenn Here's the mod I use - it's called No Lot Trait VFX. I also like No Call-to-Actions which removes the pulsing red outline around items like the Eco Lifestyle voting boards. I'll be back with an update tomorrow!
  • @Wentcrazy Their partners are all so cute! And I'm so glad you chose Keiran for heir, cause he was my fav :smiley: @Army008 Claire is such a cutie! Especially passed out on the floor :lol: @JBAG521 I tried to build floorplan A, and I couldn't get the roof right either! I think some real life roofs just don't work in the…
  • MCCC has been updated and Whim Overhaul is fine. All of my graphics/visual mods are fine, as are my small bug fix mods (though I took one out cause the bug was fixed in the patch). I'm waiting to see if Sim Spawn Overhaul needs an update before I put it back, but otherwise I'm good to go :sunglasses: I'm still waiting to…
  • I have the day off because of a doctor appointment, but my game won't update :tired_face: I probably won't play until the pack releases, I mainly just want to know if my visual mods are broken or not :lol:
  • @OJenn Yup they unlocked the rental lot type for all worlds *except* Granite Falls and Selvadorada. So you can put rentals in any world, or change pre-existing rentals to any other lot type. But sadly Granite Falls and Selvadorada are still locked :bawling:
  • @OJenn I vote to turn the rental lot into a residential and keep it a 10-gen challenge :lol: If anyone really wants to have a rental lot in the world, they could turn one of the previous gen houses into a rental.
  • @MayaRose1138 The Stuck In Their Shadow scenario is like a little in-game story you can play through. It starts with you playing Nova Curious who has just "graduated university" (she doesn't actually have a degree sadly) and wants to join the tech guru career. She has a rival from school named Lewis Sancho who always…
  • I've decided to use Nova Curious and Lewis Sancho from the Stuck in their Shadow scenario for my founders! I've wanted to play that scenario forever, so this gives me a good excuse :lol: Here's my make-over of Nova: I also built the floorplan B shell -- the roof was such a pain but it looks okay I think :lol: Front - Back…
  • @OJenn Maybe you could make the second gen gene pool mates townies? That way if someone speeds through the first gen, they can keep going without waiting for our sims :lol: Plus I think it would be fun to use one of the premades for one generation - the sims team has gotten a lot better about making them interesting and…
  • Origin was shut down recently, and some people have been having issues with the gallery/online features since. Just a heads up in case anyone's having major issues with the gallery! @MayaRose1138 You might have to re-upload them without cc for them to show up on the website. I don't think I've ever been able to access a…
  • @Wentcrazy Nea is the CUTEST (especially as a toddler omg so cute)!! But since you're picking one of the boys for heir, I think it will be Keiran! Here's the second batch of sims I made - again I'll most likely give them make-overs with stuff from the base game update/new pack before uploading them to the gallery :smile:
  • @MayaRose1138 Thank you! I'm working on another batch of sims now, cause this really got me in the sim-making mood :lol: I believe the new world is meant to have craftsman architecture. I would google a bunch of different phrases like "small craftsman house," "large craftsman family home" "modern craftsman," "industrial…
  • Ok I got the urge to make some sims...possible founders or gene pool mates? :sweat_smile: edit -- I definitely want to give them makeovers with stuff from the new pack, so these are placeholder hairs/outfits for now :lol:
  • @Kiwicantdie I'm just waiting impatiently to start a new save when the pack drops :sweat_smile: I want to play in the new world, so there's not much I can do with that until we actually get the pack. I might give the Penne Sage founders a make-over, or I might make some new couples (if @OJenn wants to add more to the…
  • @MayaRose1138 I watched it live, and I'm excited for all the same things you are! I think this pack will be AMAZING for this challenge and legacies in general. I'm especially excited for the mid-life crisis, because it had actual goals to achieve (I figured they'd just do it like the child "phase" traits which are kinda…
  • @OJenn Yes!!! 😂 I would save some empty spots for sims created with the new pack though, because I think we're getting a bunch of new skin details too - I saw new freckles, birthmarks, and maybe scars in the trailer? It'd be cool for some of the mates to have those 😄
  • @OJenn I was thinking the same thing - starting over when the pack drops 😅 I'm only on gen 5 of Evergreen Harbor, but honestly, I'm not attached to the gen 6 kids whatsoever. I might just abandon this save 😭 Plus, I know I'm going to want to play in the new world when the pack releases. Hopefully it will be the same size…
  • @Kiwicantdie @debjameswhite @OJenn I'm glad to see you all here again! Life has been crazy for me too -- new health issues, new job, holiday stress, etc. But when I do get a little free time I'm playing a travel-themed challenge over on tumblr and working on transferring everything over to a new, stable save file for my…
  • Hey hey! Just popping in to say hi and leave some comments :smile: @MayaRose1138 Congrats on reaching gen 5!! Emerson is crazy buff! I'm sure he'll have no problem with his aspiration or career, he's certainly built for them :lol: WOAH that's a big house! I don't think I've ever played in a 3-story house (well, other than…
  • @OJenn My game has been fine since the hotfix as far as I can tell. Sorry to hear you're having that bug - it scares me the most tbh :flushed: Do you still use MCCC? The last time that bug was rampant, some people were using MCCC autosave as a workaround - it might be worth a try? Or if you already use autosave, you could…
  • Hey ya'll popping in to say hi and @OJenn I got too excited to play after the patch too :sweat_smile: I'm transferring over to a new clean save cause that seemed easier than trying to do damage control. I was so excited to finally play with the Greenes again cause I have a teen and two kids who will age up into teens…
