I need to add some older Lost Cove updates to my blog. These posts were shared on the forum, but I hadn't put them on the blog yet. They are the chapters leading up to the children being forced into the oubliette.
03-16. One Day Before We BuildI went into my Lost Cove game again and didn't have any issues. I don't know what that crashing hiccup was about! I didn't try to do any story update or building until I knew for sure that my game was stable. I just let the family do what they wanted. So here are some outtakes of their evening at home.
Father and daughter gossiping.
Faith: And they have to clean the toilet by hand! Can you imagine? I'm so glad I'm a genie!

One scary lady! That face is enough to give anyone a heart attack!

And now that she de-stressed, it's back to work for Ambitious Bebhinn.

The kids were wanting attention. Faith asked Emad to play tag with her. All they did was walk up and down the stairs and tag each other. Paladin interrupted Bebhinn's work to ask for a bedtime story.

She read him a Logic skill book. I guess she had that in her inventory already. Paladin's eyes were glazing over!

Not surprisingly, he fell asleep right away. Actually, he was exhausted.

Bebhinn loves her horses. She went outside to brush Shade.

She bottle fed Tempest since Luna was asleep, then put her back in the stall with her mother.

Tempest: Mama? Are you awake yet? I'm really bored.

Tempest: Can I go outside and play? ... Mama?

They look so innocent when they're asleep.

I took some screenshots of the lot where I plan to build the Farazian Society Commune in Lost Cove. It's on an island just off the mainland. It's the biggest lot available, but is only 50x50.
I'm going to set NRaas to allow more than 8 sims in the household. This will be a challenge for me. I think I'll have close to 20 sims and pets. Too many for me to control, so I won't even try! Lost Cove is sparsely populated, so it would be a good world for me to use for this experiment.
The lot is close to the ocean, but doesn't connect to it.

There is a beach area nearby. I might add a small beach-type lot there.

The rest of the small island is hilly.

But it's not too far from the rest of Lost Cove. (This world is semi-apocalyptic. That's why there are ruined buildings, bridges, and boats around about.)
