Finally Nearly There

OK. I lied. Something came up that got in the way of my rebuilding efforts. I'm sorry that I've kept whoever reads this waiting for longer than I said it would take.

However, I am starting to feel that Nuidya culture has outgrown the game mechanics (again). I'm planning to write a series of novels about them instead of playing them as a Sims neighbourhood. Until that day comes, though, I'll still be blogging. Watch this space!

Getting Back On Track Again

Just to let anyone who's been waiting for regular updates know that I expect to be back to blogging by mid-February. I've been trying to stay on top of my rebuilding but stuff just keeps getting in the way.

Renovation Announcement

Once again, Kulo Seeri is rebuilding - and this time it will be better than ever, says tribal leader Kenja Sena Seerijata. Today, I spoke to her and former Apple Valley city planner Li Yoo about their plans for the new hood.

Bad Timing, Autumn 97

Startquarter, Redleaf 22, 97
Angel & Ben are 33, Arek is 2

"Ben! Get in here!"

That sounded painful. If it was the baby... the one that should have arrived two weeks ago... well, then the pancake mixture soaking into the grass mat was a matter for later.

Crushes, Autumn 97

Skyday, Redleaf 10, 97

Claire is 47, Joe is 43, Daniel is 14

Daniel had been spending way too much time with Elle zan-Ace lately. He'd become a man three months ago, and now had an apprenticeship with Elle's uncle. So did she. Since they started working together, Daniel had really got to like her. Too bad it wasn't going to happen.

The Stranger Side of Kulo Seeri

Since it's Halloween today, I thought I'd share my method for dealing with the Nuidya tribe's supernatural and alien heritage across generations.

ROS Autumn 97

I've spent most of Summer 97 in Kulo Seeri sharpening my picture-taking skills (when I remembered to take pictures, that is). Since I still don't have many pictures from Summer, the next part of the Nuidya tribe's story will jump forward to Autumn, which I will start playing as soon as I've finished typing this post.

The ROS for this season's rotation, in no particular order:

Fulfil biggest fear - I don't know what this Sim's biggest fear is yet, which sort of worries me.

Next woohoo results in pregnancy - at least one member of the tribe will probably have it in for me after this one, possibly two or three. *ducks*

Break up with partner - in this case, it was probably on the cards anyway.

Understandable fight - well, if they're going to start fighting among themselves, it does make sense for it to be after they've been in one place for a while, with no storms or rebuilding.
