Hi, and thanks for your comments :-) A mail was just sent to all who signed up for testing. More testers are welcome to join.
Yes, it would be great if a world could be packed with locals, but I think it will be okay if people download the households as extras, too. Some might do that, some might create all the residents themselves. I'll prepare 6 households, 50/50 sims/aliens. For the testing the aliens are rather simple, and I don't really know if there is a point in working more on them, as I actually think many will like to create their own alien race, using CC, which I can't.
The test will regard the world and not so much the story line. It's not needed to play premade houses at all, but I'll pack them in the same zip anyway. The world is small, so it shouldn't take very long to test it, technically.
I've been playing some of the houses lately, mainly to give locals a past that includes skills and jobs. The aliens are in town, and there were already a few funny moments ;-) For some reason they all gathered and headed for the townhall to protest against beetles. They protested for a full day, and everyone else stayed away. Also observed an alien kid who was obviously thinking of BLUE friends ;-)
