State of the Union
Dawn Lambswool's vanity has gotten the best of her.
Hiya Everyone! Just wanted to let you know what’s going on with my hood since I’ve been pretty quiet lately. Short version is I’m playing through all of my households (there’s a lot more this time around) and will post updates when I’m done. After the cut is the loooong version (not that long I swear).

At the beginning I wanted to play, then post; play, then post. But the building bug got me and I wanted to reno all of the condos and build all the things. I ultimately decided to just play ahead, building and remodeling at the same time. It’s been really fun, but there are a lot more households this season and I don’t have a lot of time to play now-a-days. I currently finished the Yomoshoto/Bossanova house and have six more houses to go, so it might be a little bit longer before I begin posting updates. I will try, however, to edit the photos and, at least, post the make-overs on tumblr and my blog so you can see what I’m doing. I’m so proud of them! (Well, some of them. The Kotsomiti mansion is a sight to behold now, let me tell you.)

I have also changed, once again, my rent and borrowing/lending policies. I even made a handy new spreadsheet for it. Once I have everything down correctly I will share it with you. Basically I am figuring out which households rent versus own, calculating the household worth times 10% to get the new rent costs. If they own the property and had to get loans for remodeling, I am figuring that out as well. I’m trying to make all of my Sims pay their fair share (except for the Landgraabs, of course).
Who said school was fun?
Along with all of that, I have been trying to work on a walls and floors gift for everyone. What started out as research for my RL job turned into, “Oh, I should make this for my Sims!” That, of course, has turned into 80 million walls and floors and it’s taking me FOREVER to do. Hopefully I can get it finished soon. They’re not perfect, but I wanted to do something nice for this lovely, amazing community.

And, since some of you are transferring to Dreamwidth, I am going to put full updates here as well as my blog (not Livejournal though, I post too many pictures for them so my posts don’t go through). Hopefully it won’t be as irritating as it was before.

Anyways, thanks for listening to me ramble and being patient on my posting updates. I hope to have something (pictures at least) up really soon! ^.^
