Oh wow, Fortunata is adorable! I want her. :}

I see the connection to the Caliente siblings, Flamenco was their dad right? I didn't know he had a brother...

I liked this, I would love to see more of this Pseudo Legacy you have going on... ;)

Isn't she sweet? It just rots your teeth, she's so sweet...

You've got that part right. Flamenco was the Caliente sister's father, and he was a half alien. He doesn't have a brother in the family tree, but hardly any of them do, so I took some liberties there.

It's really only a legacy in spirit, since I'm using CAS sims (who are based on Maxis sims), and I'm not recording it. They'll stay at this point for a while now too, to keep with the pace of the rest of the hoods.

I'm sure I will share some more of these characters in shorts like this, and it will eventually have some relevance to Strangetown HWC.

This is very nice. I love the pictures, characters and the start of hopefully a new short story or long one. lol

Thank you. Veronaville loves the camera. There are always interesting backdrops for photos there, just waiting to be used. I especially love that aqueduct that runs through town.

I'm probably going to treat the other hoods this way, and make a number of little side tales from the activity happening there, but I'm trying not to obsessively record everything, like in Strangetown, because it takes so much time. I figure I can always use InSIM to recreate scenes, if I really need to.

These characters may also crop up in the main story at some point.

I have a question. How can you put Veronaville and Pleasantview characters in Strangetown ? I read it was very buggy to do so, and that if you did that, SimPe didn't work anymore (like taking the house in the house bin and then putting it in another neighbourhood. Can you tell me how can you do that without making your game or SimPe crash ? I'm very interested in it.

That a GREAT question, and I suppose I should have explained that sooner. I wouldn't want anyone to attempt to move lots like that, since, as you said, it isn't a good idea ( ... )

It's very interesting, but I still have questions.

First of all, how do you extract a Sim with SimPe and then put it in the hood bin ?

Then, do the sims keep their genetics this way (including their parent's genetic ?

And what if I cloned all the sims of hood 2 and 3 in hood 1 ? Would it explode my game, or could I have them live in it without consequences ?

Actually, I don't have MATY's giant hood, but I think it would be interesting to play all the hood this way, by moving the sims in one hood. Thanks for your answers !

1. You extract the sims using the sim surgery tool. There are a number of tutorials out there. Here's one from MTS2:

Tutorial- How to Extract Born In game Sims EASILY2. The sims do not retain their recessive genes, but you can also alter this in SimPE (madame_ugly posted some useful tips for this, and you can find that in my memories). Since you create them in CAS, they behave the same way any CAS sims do, where genetics are concerned ( ... )

Hey, that's pretty neat. I also see at MTS2 they have a combined neighborhood, but I'm not sure about that.

If I hadn't already started with Strangetown HWC before that was posted, I might have used it, but I also think it might open things up a little too much for my purposes.

Looks fun, though.

Aww she is a cutie!
Sometimes I just love seeing how the kids turn out. I've got a few really cute kids/toddlers at the moment that I can not wait to see how they look when they hit their teens.

Sim breeding is just endlessly entertaining, isn't it? I never get tired of it.
