Time to get back to posting, methinks. After reinstalling (for no reason, apparently, but it felt good anyway) and fixing all the glitches I had, I got back to playing. My thanks go to
meetme2theriver for helping me with all my n00b issues. Speaking of meetme, I'm using their neighbourhoods, both the uberhood and the DIY uberhood. This entry is just BWV as the base hood, where I'll do a rotation in each household, including uni (ugh) and then adding a new neighbourhood to the rotation.
So far, my solid uberhood is under reconstruction, and so is empty. Everyone's hanging around in the sim bin.
This is the result of my sim OCD. I want to play, but I want to redecorate, and trying to do both in a neighbourhood is less than fun.
