i've recreated my rules, and the founders, but now i have 4 founders instead of 3, and i'm thinking of keeping the same background story for the hood.

i'm restarting my bacc, rn i'm trying to come up with my ruleset again, since that was lost too in my pc wipe.

that's so cool

Small Gameplay Rules Update! 🔄

So I've made a new rule for teenagers to do with style phases that is influenced by their traits:

I've been experimenting with having more emo / goth / hippie teens recently and wanted to create a full list of options that I could refer to

I did this because I like the idea that teenagers go through an awkward stage before they find their personal style as young adults - I hope this gameplay makes teens feel like much more of a unique life stage! Often they just feel like an extension of YAs to me

If anyone has any suggestions of other phases I should add let me know! I just came up with these stereotypical ones off the top of my head

That's all, I know some of you guys like to follow my gameplay rules, so I wanted to announce this as an update :)

bad news.

i've lost all my progress with my sillet creek bacc.

unfortunately, i had to format my computer, and when i was doing the backup, i didn’t notice that my the sims 2 neighborhoods had gotten corrupted. i ended up losing a legacy and also my pleasantview. sadly, the only survivor was my custom hood, meeks peaks.

i don’t know if i should just give up or create another neighborhood to post. :(

i have family trees for everyone in my hood, i'm just copying them to that other site to organize it more storywise and add context to some things

i'm having so much fun doing this

i have to be honest… i don’t like to play university. i always get confused with my aging system in there 😭 i wish it was easy for me to keep track of that but i don’t know a easy way to do that.

The Handleys' winter began with Barton enjoying a break from the crops, working on his Charisma skill while his son Otis stepped up to care of his little green friends.

As you can see, their farm still needs some improvements. (I get obsessed with symmetrical things sometimes. Sorry!)

Then I decided to take a detour in the middle of the round to place the lot for the - future - family grocery shop, just to get it out of the way and have it ready for when they have enough money. The winter didn’t do my screenshot any favors.

While Barton was out tending the garden and his son was inside, a turn of events occurred: the woman Barton had invited over for his social/charisma goal suddenly decided she hated Otis for absolutely no reason—and wouldn’t stop poking him.

After being poked so many times, Otis had had enough and decided to take action

Then I got a ROS that said they had to dig for treasure 10 times, but I only managed about 5. Otis and I just weren’t having it.

The rest of the round was spent making friends and learning new things.

And just like that, the first year of the Handley household came to an end.

i still can't use it, and i found out it's a problem with my video card driver or something like that. i have to remove the driver and reinstall it.

Once again, I started the round by rolling the minor and major events ROS. For the minor, I got: "Roommate wanted: You've been struggling with money, so a roommate sounds like a good idea to give you extra cash, and them a place to stay."

Nothing came up for the major, so I turned to @teaaddictyt list and rolled a 72.

With both ROS in hand, I played them out by creating a new townie Sim.

Welcome in Dean Gaines.

Dexie befriended him so he could move in as her new roommate— Lorewise: he was officially brought to town by none other than our beloved Governor Aberdeen, who thought she could use a little help building up Sillet Creek. And since the rules I’m following require Dexie to become friends with a Sim who has max mechanical skill, I went ahead and randomized his skills to get a starting point—and he rolled 3 mechanical points. So the plan is to start grinding that skill with him.

The roomates week:

Dexie earned herself §500 while Dean was busy on his eternal mechanical grind. I tend to get a little obsessed with this type of goal… sorry, Dean. 😅

I may have let him starve, skip showers, and skip sleep... but the goal was completed on the last day of the round! He definitely deserves a vacation now. 😅🏖
