This thread has gotten really interesting while I was out trying to fix my town. So many laughs, and a few scares, and a lot of thinking going on.
I wanted to make sure that no one thought I was angry with my son, I know a mom-error when I see one! I was just fascinated at how much life has changed since my parents (or even myself with my older kids) would let babies play with car keys or a makeup mirror from mom's purse to keep them busy.
I have 5 kids, who are 19, 17, 17, 13 and then the 2 year old (why yes, we were quite surprised, but in a happy way.) I've homeschool them all, and for 12 years I ran a local homeschool support group that I started. My oldest has graduated and is in college, and the twins are on track to graduate in the next couple of months and start college classes in the fall. So, on the one hand I can say I'm a pretty decent mom at making sure they're challenged and motivated. At the same time, I'd be a big fat liar if I said I was a super awesome mom with a tribe full of geniuses under my roof, because if I did I would have to hope I never met any of you in person or you'd learn what a bunch of goofy dorks we are!
So, I don't blame people for saying that I should have done something differently. If the stakes were higher, I would have. If he had been digging in something like the medicine chest, I would have locked that stuff up the first time I saw him anywhere near it. (That was just an example, the medicine chest is already locked up.)
No worries, I'm getting everything dug out, and trying to get out and visit people.
Someone asked if nuking just puts everything into storage, or if you lose things. I haven't noticed anything missing. The biggest pain to me has been that the storage menus are much better than they used to be (when everything was one huge jumble) but it's still difficult to locate some things quickly. Buildings and characters are pretty straightforward, but it can take a lot of scrolling to find a Burning Bush or Recycled Tower. I've decided not to try to find specific things to place now that the big stuff is out, and I'm just sort of lackadaisically scrolling through storage and taking things out as they catch my eye.
