I’m going to upgrade. Keep the old PC and switch out whatever needs to be switched. Although I’m on a budget, so depending on what else needs to be replaced, I may or may not get a new graphics card. I currently play on an old 2008 gaming graphics card which the friend that repaired my PC (my old graphics card broke while I was writing my “Bachelorarbeit”- which was extremely inconvenient!). It’s fine but doesn’t play nice with my more CC heavy save- hence why I’m currently playing a low CC game just for fun.

I wholeheartedly agree. The downstairs pool is pretty cool, and even though I shudder at the thought of only having half-walls surrounding them, it does look pretty rad.

Yeah, they went completely overboard in the jock (?) district by the sea and neglected all of the Upper Belladonian districts (which is a shame, really). But even more lots would be madness, too. Aren’t there like 50 lots already?

(Also, I may or may not have stolen borrowed some of your makeovers of Belladonna Cove. Seriously, they are so pretty!)

polly-poison said: Sadly, this cute neighborhood was crashing and flashing pink whenever I loaded a lot. 😦

I’m so sorry. I have no explanation for the pink flashing, except that maybe your game can’t handle all those trees? (I do faintly remember that pink flashing may have something to do with hardware issues. Too new graphics card or sth like that?) As for the crashing, might be that your download somehow got corrupted. Have you tried re-downloading it? And if that doesn’t help, I could upload the lots for you and you could try out whether they work in another neighbourhood? 

Any other ideas what could cause this?

I’m from western Europe, so I’ve never even seen a desert. Uh, yes, Olive would be a great vampire, I mean, she’s already got the whole aesthetic… Slowly but surely, Strangetown turns into a wild card. Maybe make it a supernatural sanctuary, @sajlica?

sajlica said: yeah, also I could totaly see Beakers creating bunch of zombies in their lab… 😀

Yeah, that could definitely happen! XD Or they’d create robots… for world domination purposes (just in case the whole necromancing thing doesn’t work out- or works too well…) To be honest, you could put a lot of SimCreatures in Strangetown and no one would bat an eye. Robots? Heck yeah! Werewolves, Witches? Why not! Plantsims? Sure, as long as there’s enough water! Bigfoot? He’ll probably sweat a lot but I doubt he would look very out of place there (Beaker test subject?). Vampires? Maaaaybe not.

sajlica said: you’re welcome! Actually that is very much aligned with my idea and I agree about plantsims…Maybe put bigfoot there, he already has all that fur 😀 but I really like your idea with him in DV…and not sure about zombies though 😀

Yeah, in theory, Bigfoot would be a much better fit for Riverblossom. 

Well, I guess that’s the issue with the zombies. They just don’t have a proper place in the main hoods. I guess you could place them in Pleasantview (resurrecting Michael Bachelor went horribly wrong?) or maybe Strangetown- I feel like they would actually fit there Now that I’m writing this, Strangetown. It is the town Death’s mistress lives in. It fits pretty well. But then you don’t really have one life stage per town but 7-supernatural-towns+(presumably)-Belladonna Cove…

didilysims said: ?? I didn’t mind the teens. I was more invested in Middleground because more had happened, but I’m sure the teens would have had some drama sooner or later. If you were having fun playing/posting the teens, don’t feel you have to stop because of fewer notes (or whatever). Keep doing what you enjoy! *high five*

Oh no! Don’t think that I’ll stop posting whatever I want just because it is not popular (otherwise I would post neighbourhood screenshots and nothing else… XD). I’m currently trying to figure out how to post the Teens in a way that makes me happy (and to give you all a better chance to get to know them). This whole switching around just took you out of both stories. I dunno, it just annoyed me and made me feel like I was unable to tell either story properly. I’m currently debating whether to put them up on my livejournal (or something similar) true legacy/challenge style or if I’ll just move them back into my queue once my queued Middleground posts run out (which might take a while- there are currently 78 posts in my queue.)

didilysims said: Deleting posts…you might regret that if you want to look back again!

We’re talking about random pictures and my umpteen attempts at creating a BACC (like New Salem, which was abandoned after like one and a half rounds). Like, at one point I made over all the Pleasantview townies and plopped them down in a neighbourhood- and then apparently never touched it again? I have an extremely short attention span and it shows. XD Stuff like Sul Sula and such, which I’m really passionate about, are safely stored in the depths of my Simblr and will never be deleted!
