I am getting back into the game now, playing several hours a day (again :D ) I'm playing a new save, only in my first year (fall) at the moment. Ginger Island is on my radar, but there is a lot to do before that. Not really focusing on friendships right now, want to get the community center done first. And some better equipment :)
@FiendishlyDelighted Shane is one of my absolute favourites :) I haven't played him much in sims yet. I have a feeling I need to keep him away from the juice :D But I have an urge to go back to that save now too. Several packs have been released since (think the last one was Get Famous), so there is a lot of "upgrading" I need to do :) Especially with Rasmodius! He can now be a proper spellcaster. He's currently a vampire, since I figured that's at least something magical. Now I have to decide if I cure him or not :)
