Happy 13th Birthday, Kulo Seeri!

It may be three in the morning in my time zone, but I'm still celebrating - because today is the thirteenth anniversary of the day I first started the hood that became Kulo Seeri! YAY!

Now, thirteen is a significant number in my life - always has been - and in the Seeriverse's numerology, it represents wholeness and harmony. So for both me as the player and my little sim world, this is a huge birthday for Kulo Seeri! And not just because my little baby hood is a teenager now. :)

I have to admit I've played a full 9-day season with my sims since my last story blog update. (It was going to just be a one-day rotation, but... snowballed.) So, as my celebratory birthday post, I'm going to run through my top thirteen off-camera events of Spring 2 NSR...

Traits and Elements v3: 3t2 Edition

Hey guys, this is the 100th post on my... eight-year-old... blog! I promise that now I'm no longer hoodless, I will be posting more frequently. Anyway, to celebrate post 100, and since it's likely to come up during Daran zan-Ku's naming ceremony, I'm sharing my most recent overhaul of the Traits and Elements system I developed for Kulo Seeri - using hexagonal-bipyramid's TS3 converted traits!

Calendar and Ages in New Kulo Seeri

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post - still taking pics for the first rotation of new Kulo Seeri - but I have no intention of letting my blog fizzle. And here's a new rambly worldbuilding post to ensure that it doesn't!

Traits and Elements v2 (and VT is clueless)

It was my birthday last week, and you know what that means - special post time! I'm still in the process of rebuilding Kulo Seeri, but my Traits & Elements system attracted a lot of interest on a thread about arranged marriages on Plumb Bob Keep recently, and I promised a post around my updated system... so here it is.

Read on for a lot of rambling about elemental balance, an example from my game, and one embarrassing anecdote about some seriously unbalanced Freshwater...

Traits in Action

As promised, here's the second part of my trait system post. In this post, I'll be showing how the traits apply to two of Kulo Seeri's couples (OK, OK, they're Kulo Seeri's only two couples at the moment) as well as one "single and looking" Sim.

Read on for the rambly introductions...

Traits and Elements and Matchmakers (Oh My!)

I'm alive! Just been busy with assorted stuff, without much time to work on rebuilding Kulo Seeri. However, it is very much a WIP right now. Still cutting downloads, then I've got to create and decorate the hood, build, recreate the Sims... *sigh*

Anyway! Here's one thing I'd like to share now: my trait system for the new Kulo Seeri. I've been working on it for the past week or so, and finally got it finished! Rambling ahead, so read on under the break.

Tour of New Kulo Seeri, Part 1

There still isn't quite enough happening for story posts, so I want to show you all some of the lots I've built for Kulo Seeri this time round. There are actually too many to fit in one reasonable sized post, so the next part will come tomorrow or during the weekend.
