Exams are coming up, so I don't have time to properly play the BaCC right now. I'm doing these MMO's in between work as relaxation, as I find it a great way to de-stress. (I'm not doing all these hood makeovers from scratch, by the way. I've got the templates for them saved, so I've got a starting point on which I can build further. In some cases I change them around a lot, in others, not so much.)
Megahood Strangetown is pretty much the same as in Strangely Pleasant, with a few tweaks. The reddish sky is what really makes this hood for me, though. It might be a goofy little town, but it's also full of aliens, mad scientists and secret military operations. Now it looks appropriately vaguely threatening. I really like that :)

Wrapping up Round 4 for Strangely Pleasant with this update. Sims ADHD is kicking in quite a bit at the moment. There's so much I want to do! A BaCC with my own rules! Another go at the Megahood, making over all the houses! The thing with the female Sim I posted a while ago! (I've actually been playing that already, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it so I'm refraining from sharing for a bit)

I suffer from Tabula Rasa quite a lot. (Whenever I play the game for any length of time, I start to get annoyed at all the little mistakes and slip-ups I made along the way and get the urge to start over with a clean slate) I enjoy it, even if it annoys me that I can never stick with anything, but it does make for mighty confusing reading, I imagine. Sorry for that, guys!

Anyways, less with the blabbing and more with the pictures. To Strangetown!

Short Strangetown updates, as I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do. (Less time to play and I did want to get through this Round. It feels so untidy to leave one part of the hood unplayed.)

Kicking off this update is the Loste family. Technically this should be the Cox family (Kennedy Cox being the pater familias), but I'm going with Kristen wanting to keep her last name and Kennedy changing his instead. They are yet another Fortune/Fortune pairing (what is WITH these in Strangetown? I'm going to have to mix up my pairings a bit for the sake of variety.)

The week started with a happy occasion, as Kristen gave birth to a little girl, Ingrid.



Thanks for showing some interest in the proceedings, Kennedy.

Have you ever looked inside the bus that arrives for the carpool when you have a sim in a certain stage of the athletic career? I have, and now I kinda wish I hadn't.






That's some creepy stuff right there.

I really apologise if you guys get tired of me spamming your friendslists every day with updates :( Play is just moving along quickly, and I don't want to be updating Round 2 while I'm already playing Round 4 or so, because I'll have forgotten most of the story by then already. I'm sure the update ratio will slow down sooner or later.




( Hey ho, hey ho, it's off to work I go... )

All in step for the Grunt Family!

I love Strangetown, but I've never played it as much as Pleasantview. I've got a general idea of what the sims in here are all about (and I've got their bios to help me figure it out as well), but I did notice while playing that I'm much more still trying to figure out what to do with a lot of sims, while in Pleasantview sims are immediately 'in character' to me. If that makes any sense at all.

Probably not.

Anyways! Kicking off this round for Strangetown is the Specter household, where an unassuming repairperson is reporting for duty.
