Lakewood BaCC: Week 3, Part 3

[katrisims]

Ha! So I finally got my act together and finished typing the Curious update. It's a little long (and that's partly why it took me so long), but what can I say, it was an eventful week too!

Anyway, as always, comments are welcome wherever you might feel inclined to leave them. I hope you enjoy!

Long comment, as I typed it as I read:

I didn't realise how much of a help magic would be for a business! I might have to try it out for myself - I'm so bad at building up ranks. And the throne is fair game, I'd say, I've been using it. :)


The headmaster's hair gets me every time!

Octavia's going to be a nude hot-tubber when she grows up, by the looks of her personality! All of the kids are quite unique looking, even Bonita who didn't get Nervous's fun genetics, but they're adorable, too! I had to check why the girls had so few nice points - I had no idea Nervous was completely lacking in nice points!

That Summerdream is Bottom, not Puck :) She looks so furious as she steals that gnome! I wouldn't want to steal it back from her! I'm glad she got along with the family, though.

I use the "paint still life" option too. It's just easier, I think, plus gives you more control over what your sim actually looks like in the painting.

Wow, Lola and the General. That's a pairing I never thought I'd see! In fact, a lot of the pairings in this 'hood are surprising me


Werewolves can be such hard work. Good idea to get started on it in advance, I'd say :) You can invited the wolves to parties, so at least there's that, right?

Great update! It's fun watching the families progress!

I didn't realize it before either, only now that I played Pascal at the electronics store I found how handy it was. The needs boost from the spell isn't huge, and the casting sim drains some... comfort, I think? Plus there's apparently a chance of failure, meaning the needs will go down instead of up. But still, if you make/buy enough reagents, it's easier to keep casting the spells than to use the energizer, and you don't have to worry about aspiration level. I'll definitely be using magic to my advantage for the Curious family - and I want to get a throne for the family too. :)

That's quite some hair on the headmaster, it does amuse me every time he comes for a visit. :D

All the girls are cute and unique looking, I'm quite happy with how they turned out. Oh yeah, and the lack of nice points is definitely from Nervous. And that's actually a plus in Odessa and Octavia's columns when considering heirs, because someone needs to keep stealing back the gnome!

Whoop's, you're right, I mixed the Summerdream kids up! Puck is the teenage boy, and Bottom is the little girl. That's quite the gnome-stealing face she makes, but she does seem to get along with everyone actually.

Yeah, with Still Life you can get a bit of variety too if you like, and it's easier since the target doesn't have to stand as a model. Plus, apparently less glitchiness.

Yeah, I would never had guessed Lola and the General either! It's funny how usually the General is characterized as having anti-alien attitudes and then my game gives me this! Well, they're pretty cute together, so if I ever make them playable I might just consider keeping them together. :) It's really fun watching the pairings form naturally, without the pre-existing relationships or borders between neighborhoods. There have been some surprises!

Apparently the werewolves are indeed hard work, I've never managed to have one. Oh, thanks for the party tip, didn't think of that! I'll have to try that out, since the family has to throw a party once a season anyway. :)


Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed! :)
