It's Not Easy Being Green

A follow-up to my previous post, in which I explained why it's been ages since I've last played The Sims, and the various things I've been pondering to do. And yes, I'm happy to announce I've made my decision!

I don't know when it will be ready, but I'm happy to announce I'll go back to Weirdville, and this time I'll be playing three households in rotation:

1. Weird Alfred McCheese, whom I began to play in the previous iteration of Weirdville;


2. Pascal Curious and Nervous Subject (Pascal is still pregnant, by the way);


3. Aaaaaand... Percy Prettyface!

This is bound to be interesting to play. Wish me luck, and pray to the computer gods that this time things will go more smoothly and last for a long time.

And now, for your enjoyment, ( a couple of pictures I took while setting up things earlier today. )

It's been over a year since I last posted a Sims update, due to a number of reasons. The main one is that I began a course that revealed itself to be extremely demanding, and which ended up taking up much of my time and my energy. However, there was another reason: a really strange glitch that occurred in my game. I first noticed it during the music jam in my last Weirdville update, but I avoided sharing any screenshots where it was visible. Basically, some of the aliens from the townie pool I used when I created that neighbourhood began to glitch out and their skintone became S2 (well, DNA-less, if you think about it) rather than green. To this day I don't know what caused it, as my search for a mod conflict showed no results.
(I had a similar thing happen to me when I first tried to do a Pascal & Nervous legacy challenge set in the Strangetown with a Twist hood (you can find my intro to it here, but in that case I found the answer.)

I want to start playing the Sims again, but I've ended up resetting my game and doing a complete overhaul of my downloads folder so I'm going to start anew. What I'm trying to decide is where to go now, and I have a few options, all of which sound very interesting to me. No, I'm not going to pick more than one, because I want to start things slowly and do a stress-free sort of play. Here are my options:

The final decision will be mine, of course, but if you happen to read this and find a particular option more appealing to you, please let me know.
