Well, my old BACC is still on my computer, and it still loads, but it sure doesn't run that well (it was just getting going really well too). Also, there have been so many great mods released since the last time I had a properly working game. Traits, all of Midge the Tree's great supernatural mods, and new Crafting stations from Sun&Moon. So painfully, I am setting aside my old BACC and creating an alternate time line BACC, were my character sims will land without their families. This way, if I manage to get the old one working well again, great, but the new one will be different, with new happenings.

I'm considering tweaking the rules a bit too, and I've already lifted my own restriction of building all the lots myself. I'm just not that good at building, it is time to face facts and use some of the great stuff that other people build :).

Anyway, rambling on I am. Just in case anyone on my circle is actually still active, I really hope to have some new pictures soon.

I seem to be behind on this, and yet somehow my hood now contains 286 sims, with 45 households in my round list. Wow that is a lot of household, and I will have more students graduating university soon.

I've unlocked a bunch of things in the BACC, with adventure, athletic, culinary (my cook is slow, and still not at the top), military, natural science and oceanography to go.

I also have more supernatural sims about than before: 1 vampire, 1 zombie (a terrible accident occurred) 2 werewolves, 2 plant sims and quite a few magic users. Some of these came about because of wants, and others because of my random events.

So before I go to a cut, here is a picture of my first vampire getting hypnotized:



So here is a cut, if you want to look at some other pictures:

I actually have many more photos, but these are the last of my old ones. I'm taking them now with gadwin, so future photos should look much nicer.

Here we are with another update. I've completed another entire round, and unlocked the music career finally. There has now been a first death in this game also (and I honestly think, even though I have had the game since release, that this is the first death that I haven't reloaded to prevent ever! This means I find the ghost really amusing for the moment).

I'm sure most simmers can relate to having too much custom content, and do the "I must remove some things but I want to look at these pretty new things" dance. I seem to have reached a hard limit on my objects (and only objects, apparently). I am in testing to see what I can still add and what I can't. I seem to crash whenever I go over this limit, no matter what object I put in. It is sad because it seems like I don't have as much trouble paring down my bodyshop materials, and am always wanting to add new objects, so I will have to learn to take objects out more often.

Anyway, I have some pictures below the cut.... even the first born in-game satyr has popped up.

Wow, am I actually putting a second post up? Unthinkable!

Here is a picture of the most populous area, Crystal Isle, household-wise at least, with 3 families, as well as a restaurant, public forum, and toy shop.


You cannot quite see all the buildings, but the rest of the area is rather bare so far and would make an even more terrible picture. One of the families is building a fortified compound, but they have virtually no money yet, so that lot looks silly.

I've been spending time getting families established (none of the homes really look how I want them in my head), if I didn't have Almighty Hat's aging mod (love this mod, it is so much nicer this way!) some of them would be elders already. I'm on my seventh rotation (starting with one family and adding one family each rotation). I use one season as the rotation marker, because otherwise I would forget for sure.
