Rebuilding Worlds Vol. 2

@Mionax Scarlet is so pretty! I think she might be my fav of all the kids so far! Ooo the vegetarian trait is a hard one -- I always forget about it and let them eat meat accidentally :grimace:

@IllusoryThrall It's awesome that you've already built one of the houses! Definitely helps narrow down your options lol. The house is coming along nicely! And I can't wait to see how your community lot turns out -- it looks so fun and colorful already!

@Kiwicantdie I'm sorry to hear your sim-binge was rage-inducing :grimace: I have those days too, when nothing seems to go right. Don't feel like you have to rush! I'm 'rushing' my own game, because I'm about to be really busy again and may not get to play for a week or two. Ya'll will catch up naturally in no time. Honestly "pick the kid with the strongest jawline" is the best advice -- strong chins too! Random townies and even some gallery sims have the WORST (aka nonexistent) chins & jawlines :expressionless: You said I wouldn't be jealous of your Aiyden & Iris, but I totally am, they are SO CUTE!! Aiyden's got the perfect 'chill, crafty' style, and Iris is just perfect - the buns+bangs hairstyle is too cute on her. Lol you think YOU struggled with the roof...my roof is just a couple of slapped on, not-even-the-same-color roof pieces :lol: Seriously though, your house is perfect -- waaay better than my attempt! Making the 'garage' look like a shipping container was GENIUS. And I adore the "moving/unpacking" decor. Who doesn't love a fixer upper? :wink: I can't believe Iris is already over Evergreen Harbor...at least Aiyden's there to talk some sense into her :lol: Actually nevermind, I can believe it -- she's right, Evergreen Harbor is NOT the world for collectibles :lol: Man their first day/night did not go so well at all lol. I don't know whether to blame Iris' complaining or Aiyden's hot-headedness lol.

OK, rant time. They messed up big time with eco footprints. There are countless blog posts and youtube videos out there that talk about and show how difficult (if not impossible) it is to change the eco footprint. There's just an obvious bias in the coding toward "neutral." People have set up lots literally FULL of bonfires and power generators (the two most "industrial" objects in the game), and the eco footprint is still neutral after several days of the lots burning non-stop. I feel like Eco Lifestyle is supposed to be like Seasons in the sense that it SHOULD majorly affect the game & all of the worlds -- it's main "selling feature" is environmental/scenery changes, like seasons. But they made it so hard to change the footprint (for good or bad), that environmental affects are only relevant for 1-2 days IF you start in the industrial or green neighborhood, after which those become neutral as well. I hate it, and I really hope they fix or, or that a modder does :expressionless:

@Heckstress17 So the trick with cowplants is that sims only die if they get eaten while they have the 'drained' moodlet from already being eaten. It lasts a long time, so it's easy to get an accidental death during the 2-ish days that the moodlet lasts. Sims who don't have the drained moodlet always get spat out. Life essence is essentially a potion of youth (resets sim to the first day of the current life stage). Omg I'm totally downloading that mod you shared. I'm so over these random townies! I want to make a bunch of normal-looking townies for my game, but I haven't because the game keeps generating gross townies that show up everywhere anyway! Maybe this mod will fix that :smiley: Yessss an update!! Awww I feel so bad for Iris :frowning: I'm glad the kids cheered up in time for Winterfest but poor Iris... I'm so glad Knox was there for her though :heart: Oh no!!! That pic of Iris clutching her umbrella legit makes me want to cry :bawling: I don't know what you're talking about -- I think Fawn is gorgeous!! And her traits are great too! I loooooove that she got Iris' clumsy trait. It's one of my fav traits lol. I love all of her outfits, but I know what you mean about 'teens' looking like adults no matter how you style them. She's literally gorgeous omg what do you mean she doesn't look "as good" in game??? :lol: Man MCCC always steps in and ruins someone's love life, sorry Silas :tongue: :joy: NOOOOOO not Knox too!! Ok I know Iris is mourning but I just have to say she does look awful cute in that dress from tiny living stuff & her grey hair :blush: At least she still has her kiddos to keep her company :heart:
