Rebuild update
Time for another rebuild update.
As you can see, it's going well. All the townies that I've made are in, and I'm generating the npcs and changing their clothing. I've found using the townie maker to generate townies works up to a point. It's allowed me to generate only male police and firemen, but it's started giving me the same sims, so I'm going to have to go places or call services to generate those sims I think. I also need to make a few more to be the iconic hobby leaders, but that shouldn't take too long. The thing that's going to take longest to tell the truth, is changing the clothing of all the professors. But yes, good progress is being made.
I'm now taking a bit of a break and playing TS3 for t bit. I'd forgotten how buggy and annoying it is (another member of the family got glitched in a wall and is now missing from the family completely, yay!), but it's nice to be able to sim and not think "I should be doing this, and that needs fixing, etc etc." I have to say that the things EA added with the latest patch, to support Showtime are some of the most annoying things ever. I don't want to post to my wall about the game thanks. I have an LJ if I feel like sharing something. It's much nicer and more interconnected. And, the best part is, that I don't have to have it open all the time if I don't want to. That silly little thing in the right hand corner of the screen is very off putting.
Anyway, I will post a few pictures of my shiny new townies once I'm done with the npcs, but until then, ttyl.
