Generation 8 Teasers

Project Rebuild is DONE.  It went very well, excepting for the fact that despite having the noregen hacks in place, the game decided to "gift" me with 10 each of the AL social townies.  Grr.  I've made them over, changed some of their names, and even though I'm not happy about it, it wasn't worth starting over again.  I've revamped the main 'hood and the downtown areas with some more "modern" lots (it's the 1950's people!), and overall I'm happy with how things turned out.  But either way, I just need to get 2 more generations born, and this crazy ride is OVER (and to think I thought this legacy thing would only take two years at most.  Silly me.).  It also afforded me the opportunity to get generation 7 all packaged up and ready to upload, so look for them soon.

So...in the process of prepping for the rebuild, I had to play a bit.  Behind the cut are a few pictures from the last 3 days of the rotation in the main house.  Spoilers ahead, so don't click if you don't want to know.


First up, Steven is now a child.  And he's basically a clone of Nick, save for his hair and eyes.


Second, Alice gave birth to baby number 2.


It's a girl!  Meet Margaret Bradford, who will henceforth be known as Peggy.


And here she is as a toddler.  Another Nick clone, but with Alice's hair.  She's a Capricorn (10/3/1/6/5).  Because I don't want Jan's mouth to go any further into this legacy, I've fixed Nick and Steven's genetics so that it's not dominant anymore, and I'll probably fix the genetics of whoever Steven marries so that her mouth is dominant.  Really, four generations of it (Jefferson, James, Nick, Steven) is more than enough.

So that's that.  I have homework to do today, but hopefully I'll still be able to play a bit later on.

Yay rebuild going well! Yay baby!

As for the extra social townies, are you on Windows 7? If so, look at this post, it may be the cause of your problem: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,4306.msg496444.html#msg496444 (won't be helpful now, but for future hoods)

:D

It might be Win7, but I'm not 100% sure. The odd thing is is that they're *not* the stock AL social townies - they're new ones. I know the 'hood was blank because there where 0 character files in it when I started. I should make sure I've got the proper version of the noregen hack, because I was under the impression that it was supposed to stop it. I suppose it's not really a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but it is annoying.

Yeah. The only thing I can figure is that since I forgot to pause the game while making custom townies into townies on my simself's lot, the game managed to generate them for walkbys. Whatever. I don't have to marry them in, as I've got enough others for spouse fodder, and if I get desperate I can always surgery them with SimPE.

There's always just killing them. :P

And let the game spawn more fugly sims for me? I think I'll cope with the fugly I've already got. :P

Aww the kids are so cute even with Jan's mouth, I bet you are tired of seeing that. Jan's revenge. ^_^

How annoying and strange about those townies.

They are cute, but 4 generations is enough of any one feature. Heh, Jan's revenge. I like that.

It's annoying and strange, but it doesn't bother me enough to start over. I made over the really hideous ones, made their names a little better, and will just proceed from there.
