The aftermath - and just before too.
Not only did I manage to video it - but I got a few screenshots too.
I think it tragic that one little sim had to endure not one, but two meteor strikes in his childhood. I'm talking about Oscar of course, his parents were killed by a meteor. That's why he lives at the boarding school.
It was the night of the full moon and Erica Wolff and Mena Fields were fishing at a local water hole. No screenshots of that but it did make it to the video. Erica transformed to her werewolf form.
Back at the boarding school, Whilemina Wolf, a child and daughter of Erica, transformed too. But I didn't see her transformation happen.

Gator Wolff, Whilemina's toddler brother, didn't transform and was happily playing in a walker.
Back at the boarding school some old horse was sleeping while standing out front.

A black unicorn turned up too. It was at the tiny fishing spot the children were fishing at earlier.

Next morning Erica was still fishing at the waterhole some distance from the Boarding School. Mena had been sent home to prepare to leave for Barnacle Bay with the teens and toddlers who belong in that world. Namely Westerly Cross, Alexanda Cross, Tyree Verona, Coral Goldbeard and Serena Abe. I was battling with the game to get them all downstairs to where the old horse had been sleeping during the previous night. It was a battle as the toddlers were all in playpens and telling the other travelers to pick the toddlers up and carry them downstairs was proving impossible. But I did manage to get some of them safely out there when Coral saw a huge shadow approaching and everyone got the react to meteor action.
Panic. I never saw the shadow but assumed it was going to hit the spot where I'd collected the travelers. Not everyone had arrived there yet. Some would be saved - I hoped. I was wondering how I was going to incorporate so many ghosts in my story. Who to save. I definitely wanted Eric and Oscar to survive. But I needed to get the travelers home too. Preferably alive. Then it hit. Since there are 25 sims in the household it was bedlam. Pandemonium. Total confusion. I got video showing the meteor strike the boarding school roof and pass straight through and land on the footpath outside. The travelers standing on the footpath appeared to be unharmed as the meteor just missed them.
Bruce Winterbottom came running I was trying to get everyone out of the building due to there being so many fires inside but the game kept interrupting me telling me 'toddler name' couldn't be left alone - "Call Babysitter or Stay Here". I started clicking Stay Here. But there are 8 toddlers in the building and it kept cycling through all of them so I then started to say Call Babysitter but it still kept cycling through all of the toddlers asking the same question. The thing is, just about EVERYONE was in the building and it was burning. I told Carlie Winterbottom to call the firefighters. I then found a couple of fire engines had already arrived and the fire fighters were putting out the fires. Two buildings were blazing and there were fires on multiple floors of the boarding school. I think I covered most of it in the video but here are a few screen shots I got.

I had sent Erica Wolff home to save her son as he was still inside. But only her head turned up. This had me confused for a while but there was nothing I could do about it. After the fires were out and the fire engines gone I was finally able to reset her and she looked normal again.

You can just see Erica Wolff's head floating in front of the fireman in this pic below.

I sent my travelers off to Barnacle Bay leaving the mess at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island to clean up later. Much Later.
The Barnacle Bay boarding school is a dream to play after the Chocolate Cake Island experience. Absolutely no lag. But the memory problem in Barnacle Bay is real. I have a whole fairy village there. I moved a lot of the fairies out, with their houses, to other worlds to make the world playable. But I checked the memory being used. It is almost at Error 12 status in the Boarding School building, and going out to an empty space in the world only takes it down a few KB. So I'll be in danger of unavoidable Error 12 on attempts to save while in that world.
Here are some pics of the Barnacle Bay boarding school and world as I have it set up.

I think I'll see if I've got enough recorded now to start on the video. Probably not as I don't want it to me a video of toddlers reading books, and that's mostly what was going on over the past week or so. With major lag. Most of the time it was just sitting there with nothing happening with a few seconds of activity. That's why it took so long for me to get to this point. I plan to stay in Barnacle Bay for a few Sim days and incorporate the toddlers and teens back into their families. Play them a bit and also go and play in the fairy village for a while just to move things along there. I have a lot of toddlers in this world that have been through the boarding school and maybe it's time for some of them to become children.
I'll record video of what happens in Barnacle Bay and will use bits of it if I need it to make the video I'm working on for Oscar's Childhood interesting. The thing is Oscar isn't in the traveling group. He'll probably arrive in Barnacle Bay with Eric at some point though.
That's it for now.
