Decisions decisions (specific to my new game/scenario setup).

So I’m playing the extraterrestrial explorer scenario with a (secret) alien as roommate.
They (two YA women) live in a large property in StarngerVille.

The first time I tried to get them going, the game gave me Cameron Fletcher and Angela Plesant as coworkers at the laboratory and that started the game throwing some (admittedly minor) errors.


So because I wasn’t very far in, I’m starting over. Only I have some decisions to make.

-Northern or Southern Hemisphere for holidays:seasons?
-Which lab rebuild to place
-How old are the ladies? (between 18 and 30 by my reckoning being YA), particularly in relation to each other
-Do I cheat some basic skills (a couple points logic, cooking charisma for example)?
-Replace other buildings in StrangerVille now or later?

  • - Replace buildings as needed, not up front. Or maybe that's just me? When I start a new save I want to play immediately, not waste time with the set dressing
    - Age 20+, assuming two years of college (no degree)
    - For skills I think four skills at level three is fair, because that's the amount CAS stories hands out
    - Additionally I'd keep Likes/Dislikes balanced. If the sim has a liked activity that greatly benefits them in their career (like gardening for scientists), then I'd give them an equally hindering dislike (like cooking for the main chef in the family). If they like dancing, but rarely get to dance, then that like is "free" and doesn't require a dislike to balance it out.
