Townies!
Soooo, all the townies are in and (nearly) all the npcs are created and made over. I'm still missing some, but I can wait and make them over as the game generates them (in both hoods).
This is what my to do list looks like now:
Yes, that's right. I'm at the point where I can start adding my own sims into the game. But first, I promised some pictures of my shiny new townies, so that's what you're going to get. These come from a mix of the real hood and dummy hood.
These are some of the female dormies I've made, settling into Princess Beatrice House. (Lucille, the second from bottom is the sim I used to add all the dormies. once I've moved some of my sims into the uni hood, I'll move her out of PBH and make her into a dormie too.)
This is my animal control officer (with a masseuse in the background). My exterminator is in a similar outfit, but with a different coat, waistcoat and trouser texture.
Ok, I can honestly say, that the pictures that follow are the reason I've taken such an insane amount of time and spent so much effort on this rebuild. Seeing sims that look like this, wandering round lots that look like this, is, to me, amazing. And I love it, and that I've managed to do this.
Making sims into tourists and locals was a bit of a faff, and I really wanted to make sure they all worked, so SimDi and Indy got to go on a couple of holidays. Thankfully, it all seemed to work well.
One of the best things about making my own sims, is that I can have the children in a townie family actually be the spawn of the parents.
I also tried something quite new and made my own hobby leaders. I'm really pleased with them, and they started giving me plot ideas. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. XD
And that is all for my sneak peek at the new inhabitants of my neighbourhood. I hope you enjoyed it and that you'll enjoy seeing them in the background of my story as much as I will. The next step is to start adding my main family, and I can hardly wait. :D

- Move out the girls of the VPLs.

- Repeat for the LS.
- If I can’t get into either lot, then I need to install an earlier version and paint new portraits.
- Add the VPLs and LS to N002 and N003.
