The first action of the day: open up her little store. She still is unsure how to call her little grocery store; for now she calls it “BeeGee’s” (for Bruty’s Groceries).

Somewhere, out in the middle of nowhere…

Sandy still can’t quite believe what happened. One day, she saw that ad in the paper and just knew that deal was too good to pass up. Rising unemployment in the big city meant that it would be hard to get up back on her feet after that SimCity Llamas scandal and when she saw that a grocery store in a small town just an hour out of the city… it was almost like someone told her to.

Now she’s got a rather tall mortgage and a little corner store right in the middle of nowhere and no idea what to do with it…

I downloaded a fix to make the street signs invisible… so that I could put up my own street signs?

didilysims said: Oh, I see. I downloaded it and all the folders were empty except one file in Thumbnails, but there was a picture and the N174_Neighborhood.package. Very odd it was different for you. Maybe it was a downloading glitch–try downloading again?

Huh. That’s really weird! I’ve redownloaded it a few times (even restarted my PC) and both folders (NH and SC4) are still empty for me… huh?

didilysims said: If it comes with no lots, maybe it doesn’t need a Lots folder? I know that sometimes the game doesn’t generate a DL folder, and it’s fine to create one yourself, so maybe the same case here. Also wondering: what do you mean it’s empty? There should be no lots, right?

Ah, should’ve clarified it. The N174 folder is completely empty. There’s nothing in it. Not even a picture. Which struck me as really weird. I might actually do that, although I’m pretty sure it ~should~ have generated a lot folder when I plunked down the first lot… weird.

In unrelated news: I really want to start posting again (and as I find Elsewhere to be rather unsuiting- it’s my “unwind” town) I’m trying to create a new neighbourhood.

Sometimes I wish there was someone who decorated neighbourhoods for me. XD

aondaneedles:

By the way, is Acorn Bend borked? Whenever I downloaded it, it appears empty but works just fine, I guess? And it didn’t spawn a lot folder but I am able to place and use lots? Does anyone know what’s going on here?

Just downloading the neighbourhood terrain gives me the same result: empty folder. Is there something I’m missing?

Jane Beare is the first Sim in Elsewhere to grow into an elder.

I am so ridiculously bad at keeping Sims alive at times… The saddest thing about the Kaylynn thing was that she was pregnant. Thank god Daniel was there to save her.

Yeah… I think I found a nice resolution for the problem. >:)

They’re beginning to warm up to each other. (Funny thing: Parker is actually the meanest of the bunch- she inherited Brittany’s nice points. Misaki has five, I think and Haruka a full 10.)

Wonky Ethan

emphatic-fangirl said: wow, he really got a his looks from his father, didn’t he?

Yeah. Although I think part of his chin line is from Jane, because I’m pretty sure Kevin’s not as wonky. Either way, time for Ethan to grow a beard! XD
