Okayyy... so I totally did not just spend nearly six hours setting up a save file and making over the Greenes...... When I probably should have been working on the post(s) I have scheduled for tomorrow. A bored Thrall is a dangerous Thrall, obviously. I cleared out the entire save (everything is bulldozed except apartments and special lots) - then finally remembered to save a copy of said save so I wouldn't have to do it again. .... Then I spent another couple hours "sorting" everything. Because My idea is to rebuild all the worlds. *cringe* And to do it in 100 generations. There is that pesky achievement that's out there taunting me that I'll probably never get it. Last night I figured out there's ten generations each for this challenge the old "Rebuild" challenge in Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest, Windenburg, San Myshuno, Sulani, Brindleton Bay and Evergreen Harbor -Then five generations each in StrangerVille, Del Sol Valley, Glimmerbrook, and Forgotten Hollow. Which totals 100, conveniently enough. Once I noticed that I think I was sunk. Sigh. I don't know how much time I'll be able to devote to updating, but I think I've passed the point of no return on whether or not I'll be starting the challenge. I'll use all the different gene pools in each generation along the line, starting with the Greenes as founders. I know it's going WAY past the scope of the challenge, but my completionist/perfectionist side couldn't stomach rebuilding one world and leaving the others alone. We'll see how that goes. It'll be a challenge I play when my scheduled stuff is done for the day or I'm bored - and yes, I'll be taking pictures to document it as I go. Anyway, I'll stop rambling nonsensically and just post the pictures I took of the makeovers. I was careful to leave bodies and faces alone, just changing hair styles, outfits, accessories, etc. I love how they turned out. I spent more than double the amount of time I usually spend on a CAS makeover, really paying attention to details.

I have yet to build anything in the world, and at the very least I need the community spaces (oh yeah, I bulldozed those, too!) and the restaurant lot (The Caboose got re-zoned) built, as well as, obviously, their home. I haven't decided which floor plan to go with yet. Oh yeah, and part of "sorting" the lots for all the world was trying to give all the neighborhoods a community space lot. Which means I'll have to build those when I get to that generation. If it's not set as a residential lot, I zoned it for commercial (except for the unused apartments) - and will be building those in time, too. I got pretty creative with the zoning and deciding what order all the lots will be played in. They're literally all named "Gen 1" to "Gen 100" in the order they'll be played. I did say I spent hours on this. *rolls eyes at self* I picked Evergreen Harbor to go first, then rolled a dice to decide the rest of the worlds' order, since I couldn't decide.
Please, let me know what you think about this idea and the makeovers! (You don't need to mention the fact that I'm insane, I knew that part already.) Oh, and one quick question - how much money are the Greenes supposed to be starting with? I think somehow merging them with the household I was deleting gave them too much money... because they have like 30k.
