Spring at the Snowe household feels like it was forever ago...

On another note, I was looking over my BaCC so far, and if I could have one major do-over, it would be not using anyone else's sims as settlers. When I was starting up, I'd just gone on a major download spree that basically reinvented my game after a few years of inactivity, and I was like, "Ooo, these sims are so pretty!"; plus, I was impatient to start the challenge and a little bored with BodyShop at the time. So I just threw them (Thierry, Lucy, Virginia, and Jasper) into my game and got on with it (my other settlers were all existing sims rescued from my borked 'hood). On the one hand, it is nice to have the diversity, since other people's sims can be different from your own in ways that are not always immediately apparent. But on the whole, since I got my sim groove back, I really, really wish I'd created all of my settlers so I could feel like I had 100% ownership of the town.* 

Other BaCCers, what are your thoughts looking back? Any do-overs?


*(Except for Jasper, because he is the cutest. Also, MissTiikeri told me he doesn't get enough attention in her game, so.)

Subtle as always!
Last week with the Snowes, baby Eustacia was born and grew into toddlerhood; Lucy was working to max her mechanical skills; Thierry opened a produce stand; and Virginia got knocked up for a second time.

You've seen them around the neighborhood. Now come inside and join them at their place...

Fleeing the devastation of the Great Sudden Valley Disaster of 2011, our settlers have sought refuge in the abandoned village of Sainte-Margo. Not much remains here but a few farmhouses, the canal lock-keeper's home, and the old bank building. Everything is a little bit rundown; but the structures are solid, the air is clean, the water is fresh, and the ground is still fertile. This is a good place to start over.
