Galucca: The Fogdale family of the Dump

Have you checked out the Gaulucca story yet? There you will find tidbits from five different families up through the development of Town of Galucca.

One family is the Fogdales. They reside the poor district, often called The Dump. This family will have a remarkable destiny, they just don't know it yet. The stories from Galucca's development is told on a separate blog. Check it out! Or go via the top menu of this blog.

Seagull Cottage chapter 7 - Garden dinner

Last update left us with Cathrina waking up from her sleep, hearing a dump sound downstairs!

It turned out it was already early morning, the seagulls were just about to start their noisy day. Cathrina got out of bed and stopped to listen carefully several times on her way downstairs to check. If someone was down there, what would she do? Could it be the neighbour boy, Brad Kragger?

She found the doors and windows were all locked, and nothing looked different - until she entered the blue room.



Of course it had to be the blue room... but this time the action could easily be explained -  logically. The big portrait of the old lady had fallen down to the floor, and was now squeezed between the wall and the bed! It wasn't damaged.

Then Cathrina's cellphone rang!

Cathrina: Alex!

Alexander: Hi, sweet silly! I'm sorry if I woke you, I just had to call you. I miss you so much!

Cathrina: I miss you too, Alex, are you on your way? How was the gas station?

Alexander: We're completely done here, Cathy. I've made my money, and will be with you around noon. Can't wait to see you!

Cathrina couldn't help feeling that the old lady on the wall listened to the conversation, like if she cared... but why would she care at all, if it wasn't old great-aunt Gloria Moonster? Maybe Brad Kragger could identify the woman? The garden dinner was up in a few hours!



Cathrina walked up to the study, and sat down to read another page from Gloria's old diary.

"Ludwig called! He said he misses me, and I asked him to prove it by coming to Seagull Cottage for a few days! I'm not sure what to think, I was learning to like my solitude, but I miss him, too."

Cathrina: But... Alex just called, too... are you making fun of us, auntie?

"I found a strange, old book in the bookshelf, "Black Journal of Magica". At first it looked like a stupid old witch book, but it's packed with content that I find both entertaining and interesting... herb mixture recipes, and some pretty odd stuff. I think it used to belong to mom."

Cathrina: Hm... another book? Your mom's book... I forgot you used to have family around here, great-auntie...

Then there were sounds outside, from children playing, and Cathrina put the book away, got dressed, and walked outside.



Cathrina: Hello kids, do you live around here? Oh, your cat is lovely!

Sonia, the girl: Uhm... hi...? You don't live here?



Aron, the boy: You don't belong here! Who invited you?

Cathrina: I'm new here, that's right! And I love it here at Moon Trail. I'm Cathrina, are we neighbours?

Sonia: Not telling! You are a stranger! But Tina had kittens! They are soooo cute! Mom and dad said we can't play with them yet, they are so small and breakable!

Cathrina: Ah, great! Lucky you, and clever Tina!

Aron: You have many kids?

Sonia: (Aron, that's not polite!)

Cathrina: That's fine! But no kids, not yet...

Sonia: Any cats? Dogs? We know about the birds. Everyone knows about them!

Then a familiar voice was heard down the road...



Cathrina: Alex!

Sonia: Come, Aron, let's go home to check the kittens. If dad is out we might play with them!

Alexander: Hi! Oh, that's a nice cat you got there!

Then the kids with the cat Tina ran off, and Alex could embrace the one he had missed, without restrictions due to the underage audience.



A little later they prepared the meal in the garden. The chairs and table were older than Cathrina first thought.

Cathrina: I think we'll paint them!

Alexander: Sure! So you cleaned up a little in the garden... does that mean...?

Cathrina: Yes, I'm all decided. I would like to stay here, Alex! If it's fine with you of course? At least we could give it a year or so...

Alexander: Whatever you say, sweet silly.

Cathrina: Our first guests will arrive very soon, neighbour Brad Kragger and his old aunt.

She told him that old Viggo was dead, and about Brad's snakes that he promised not to bring. It was nearly 5 PM, and voices were heard at the gate!



And in walked Brad, followed by his aunt.

Cathrina: Emma?

Emma Hydront: Hello! I'm not gonna stay for long, just keeping this young man company, if you don't mind!

Alexander: Of course we don't mind, Emma! We just had no idea you were related...

Brad Kragger: My mom and Emma were sisters. Mom died long ago.

Emma: Yes, yes, so I visited Moon Trail more than once...

Brad Kragger: But she refuses to pet my snakes! Now, where's the food?



Emma: So you decided to stay? I knew it! Ever since I picked you up at Galucca harbour, I knew it!

Cathrina: Emma, do you know the portrait in th blue room? I don't think that's Gloria...



Emma: No, no-no-no! It's not Gloria! There's no picture of Gloria!

Alexander: Well... uhm...?

Cathrina: Why not? I mean, she lived here for so long... well, if the painting ain't Gloria, who is it?

Emma: It's her mother, dear, Lu...Luphelia.

Too many sims - stop the clock!

So, my stories take place in two different communities; Town of Galucca and Magna Island (aka Maccaroni Island). Although I focus on a handful households, I prefer to keep track on all residents. Just to make sure that bi-characters will be as real as possible with correct family situation, the right tie to the community's history, the right profession etc.

All together there must be near 100 households to check on! I use one spreadsheet per town to keep track on it all. I don't like the game's story progression, because I prefer controlling everything myself. Mostly I make sure that all families reproduce, that all careers in town are covered, and that grown up children who are not taking over the family home will move out to marry. I also adjust everyone's outfits after a birthday, to match their financial status (I need both rich and poor families in my towns). The notes of future birthdays etc, allows me to stop by each house only when needed, and it's not really a problem if I delay a stop either.

I use just one column per household, and one line per year. When a baby is born I'll make a note including parents and a few extra genetics that I made up in addition to the game's DNA system. A few colour codes make it easier for me to say find all unmarried sims who are "up for grab", because of their pink text on the year they reach Young Adult stage.

Lately I came up with a new time span in order to manage it all. Previously I mostly played with aging on, and when telling a story it would often become some hectic day because so much had to happen all over town, not always affecting the story's update at all. Now I've decided to turn aging off, focusing more on playing out everyday matters, focusing more on the residents' relations and dreams, rather than community development. So, I'll basically play with aging off, but will age everyone up one year whenever I'm ready for it, normally within 7 simdays. All my worlds will be aged accordingly, making sure they all go by the same year count.

Each season will last for 3 sim years. If I want to explore one season more, I'll just wait longer until I age up my worlds. Maybe the seasons will follow my real life seasons, but that's not very important.

All in all, these changes will give a more relaxed time span, and I can actually play a household which I normally don't play, for a full simday, without ruining any bigger plans. I think it will be great!

How do you keep track on all your sims?

Seagull Cottage chapter 6 - The snake boy

This morning Cathrina woke up alone. Last night Alexander returned to the city of Bridgeport to work at the gas station. And they surely could need the double pay he was offered.

Anyway, Cathrina had a full day on her own, until Alexander would be back tomorrow morning. For the first time she didn't have to hide away to read the old diary. She could hardly wait to check what the old Gloria put down.

"Ms Prudle complains about the seagulls, and I don't blame her. They are very noisy these days! No wonder how the place got its name!"

Cathrina: Seagull Cottage! Yes, I actually knew that...

"Garden is coming alone fine, today I served Ms Prudle from my first tomato harvest!"

Cathrina: Aw, your own tomatoes! So that's what you grew, beside of those flowers...

She closed the book, one quote per day as usual. But hey, today Alexander would not be interrupting her... okay, so why not... just one more diary page!

"One more lodger, student Erik Hartman. I don't like him, but I know I'm not supposed to build close relations to my guests anyway, thanks Similius!"

Cathrina: Hey, lucky you! That's two guests!



She had a good breakfast, then she walked downstairs to clean the blue room. The window had been left opened over night, most of the smell was gone.

Cathrina couldn't help it, suddenly she felt the woman on the wall talking to her. Not by spoken words of course, but... some other way. She studied the painting closely, the signature was hard to read, but looked like Nicko van Hutch. She never heard about him before. And she didn't think this was great-aunt Gloria. Was it some other relative?

Without really noticing it, this moment Cathrina made the important decision to stay! She knew it would be right to stay here at Seagull Cottage, trying to reopen the bed & breakfast. They had already cleaned most of the house, and except from the first day, Alexander had not grunted about missing the city, not once. She thought he would like to settle here, too.



Now that Cathrina could finally see their future here in Galucca, it was naturally time to work some in the garden. She easily understood where Gloria had grown her tomatoes. It looked like the perfect spot for a vegetable garden!

Cathrina still intended to invite the neighbours, old Viggo Kragger and his son Brad, for a meal here in the garden tomorrow. She didn't need to fix everything at once, just the obvious.



She didn't really feel being observed, she just felt a bit dizzy from the old portrait in the blue room. If it was a relative, why was it in a lodger's room, and not upstairs in the family section? Didn't Emma Hydront say something like the last guest died in the blue room?

Then she heard a bird making noises. Not the ordinary seagull screams, but differently, like wanting some attention, or being scared? But where was it?



Cathrina looked into another garden room, and there, on the rock next to some pretty lovely blue flowers, one of the seagulls were resting. Then she knew she was being watched, and turned!



Cathrina: Oh! Who... are you?

Brad Kragger: Pft... Brad Kragger, neighbour! You alone?

Cathrina: Uhm, not really, my hubby... is inside! What are you doing in my garden?

Brad Kragger : Just coming here to feed my snakes.

Cathrina: Your... snakes?



Brad Kragger: They are good... don't you worry a bit!

Cathrina: Well... uhm, now that we moved in, I'd appreciate it if you stop coming here to... feed those snakes.

Brad Kragger : Sure... nice meeting you anyway. Dad talked a lot about you...

Cathrina: Ah, well, I was actually planning to invite Viggo, and you, for a simple garden dinner tomorrow...

Brad Kragger : Oh well, dad died the night after you visited him. But I'll come tomorrow! We're used to eat in this garden anyway.

Cathrina: What, Viggo is dead? Oh... I wanted to ask him...

Brad Kragger : So, can I still come?

Cathrina: Uhm... sure, 5 PM... No snakes, okay?

Brad Kragger : Can I bring my old aunt? She'd love to join!

Cathrina felt a bit unsure, but Brad would be their neighbour for a while, and they would probably meet his aunt sooner or later anyway.

Cathrina: Sure. But still no snakes!

Brad Kragger : 'Kay.



Cathrina: I think you shall leave now. It's raining again, I need to... join hubby inside... bye!

Brad Kragger : Ha, I'll be around if you need me!



Then she ran back to the house, and locked the door. Were everyone in Galucca that... special? If so, maybe it would take some time to convince Alexander into running Seagull Cottage.

She called a few city friends, mainly to make anyone outside believe she was not alone, but also to tell about her decision. And she was not having second thoughts. Probably not. Then she read her book (not the old diary), and went to bed early after checking that all doors and windows were locked.



She had slept for a couple hours when she heard a sound downstairs! Or was it nothing? Something outside? She could have been dreaming...

This is how my stories connect

I've played the sims series on and off ever since 2001, meaning I enjoyed all numbers up to now; The Sims 1, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. I don't know yet how my take on The Sims 4 will be, but I will find out soon enough :)

All these years I liked to create my own worlds and to make stories, and most of those stories found their way to various websites and blogs. I ran Simmerville Hood for many years, until it became way to tedious. You see, I will normally keep track on every single sim in my hood or town, meaning it can easily become more detail management than actual game play.

Nearly all my current games and stories are related to one another, so I need to manage not just one town, but multiple! It started with SimBasic, where 4 couples stranded on a tiny island and built up a small community on Magna Island (aka Maccaroni Island) which now has reached 4th generation. The SimBasic story was completed, but continued in the still going Greench Farm legacy. The little community eventually made contact with Town of Galucca, which didn't exist at that time, so I just had to create the new world in CAW (Create a World). And because I'm a sucker for details, I just as well started to play Galucca's story 200 years before the contact was even made with the Magna Island (SimBasic). A noble family settled there, and brought a few handcrafting families, and from there the town developed over 200 years!

Yet another story, unveiling the many mysteries at Seagull Cottage Bed & Breakfast, naturally takes place in Galucca. If you follow Seagull Cottage, you might like to know that reading the Galucca blog will give you detailed insight in the backstories (although it's not required to read the Galucca blog in order to enjoy the Seagull story).

Finally, I also run a story about my always complaining Test Sims, the Detesters. This story started out in Twinbrook, and the little family was primarily used to test downloaded content. Recently they moved to work for Galucca Imports, Inc., and there they meet some of the locals that you will recognize from some of my other stories. The Detesters story will be published on this blog later this Summer!

Shortly, a group from Magna Island (Greench Farm legacy) will visit Galucca! That was the actual reason why I created Galucca in the first place. I can't wait to see these still primitively living descendants from those 4 stranded couples, walking through the Galucca City region for the first time! It will feel like a mission completed, although I know it just started! With all these stories and all the creative work behind it, there's no way I can quit The Sims 3 just because of The Sims 4. I will need to go on with the lives of those sims, finding out what their stories will reveal :)

Desperately wanting The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo?

The Sims 4 will reach our gaming computers on September 2nd - hey, that's only 6 weeks ahead! I don't plan to leave The Sims 3, due to my many ongoing stories taking place in worlds I created myself, AND tons of downloaded content, both EA made and custom content made by fans.

 But I can have BOTH! :)  Any way, I will of course check what The Sims 4 is like. Maybe I'll put together a few short stories too, that would be fun, just not as dedicated as those stories already running.

Last week EA sent out an invite to many simmers for testing the upcoming Create A Sim tool (CAS). The community is already raving about unfairness and the word Demoless is established on forums. The pick of testers were random, but still people think they got the right to be picked because they played so and so long, or spent so and so many dollars on the sims series. There's rumors saying EA will send out more invites, in waves even, but nobody knows for sure.

Meanwhile I do check my email frequently. Because I'm demoless, too. At first I couldn't recall which addy I registered with Origin (EA's game downloading service), and thought it might have been a long gone addy. Then I found that on my Origin settings I had not even allowed EA to send me anything. Jeez, first I felt left out, then it turned out I was the one who had left out EA...

So, if you are still waiting for your CAS Demo invite, make sure that your Origin settings are correct ;). You need to tick that EA can send the sims related information to your email.

Edit July 16: You can now sign up with EA to test the The Sims 4 CAS Demo! Go here!

PS: I'm pretty good at creating sims - check back to see how I will manage in TS4 - whenever I get my invite, that is :)

Seagull Cottage chapter 5 - The blue room

It's a new day, yupp, every chapter is another day.

It's become a habit for Cathrina getting up early to secretly read another quote from her dead great-aunt Gloria's diary. She appreciates these moments, and she would love to learn more about her late grand-auntie, Gloria Moonster.

"First lodger signed in today! Sweet, old lady named Clairence Prudle is a retired teacher, still unmarried. She got the only room that is yet ready for lodgers. I'm still saving up furniture to equip the other 3 rooms."

Cathrina: What? A lodger that soon? Oh, wait, there's no date, not sure how long you've been there... here...

"Oh, how I adore the outdoors and the salty breeze that comes in from the grand ocean. The seagulls have become a pain, though, especially during their hatching season - which must be now..."

Cathrina closed the old book. So the seagulls were around even back then. The old man next door, Viggo Kragger with a diamond in his ear, said the birds were fewer when Gloria's mother built the cottage, 80 years ago. Hm, when did Gloria move in... 15 years later?



Alexander got out of bed, they both dressed before having a late breakfast.

Cathrina: Wouldn't it be nice to have breakfast downstairs sometime?

Alexander: Sure! Why not?

Cathrina: Uhm, I've been thinking. I'd like to invite old Mr Kragger and his son for dinner some day, too! We could eat outside, I checked the garden chairs, they seem okay!

Alexander: Really? I know you have lots of questions for the old man, but also his son who we didn't meet yet? Anyone else? Can I come too?

Then Alexander's phone rang, and he got up.

Cathrina: Yes, you can serve us, as my private butler...

Alexander: Okay? Tomorrow... uhm, yes, I can do that.

Cathrina: Who was that?

Alexander: The gas station back in Bridgeport... they were short of staff, and offered me double pay to take 2 shifts. We'll need the money, no matter what, sweet silly.

Cathrina: Yup!



A few hours later they were downstairs, trying to fix up the room a bit more. Alexander had been to town to buy food and to get his ticket back to the city. He will leave tonight and will return the morning in two days. The garden dinner will wait.

Cathrina: Did you see this photo from some desert? I had no idea great-auntie Gloria traveled that far!

Alexander: Maybe she just bought the photo, or that some lodger left it.

Cathrina: You mean, a lodger not having money to pay the rent, payng with a desert photo instead? Nah... Isn't it strange that there's not a single photo of Gloria in this house? That's weird, living for 107 years and not leaving one photo...

Alexander: Maybe she was too shy? Or a technophobe?



Alexander: So, do you get any clever ideas from being in this room? Like, is there a chance to upgrade this place, if we stay?

Cathrina: Sure, lots of ideas, but they are not so important right now. I think we should hire a consultant to help us with the project. But right now, just being here... oh, that looks like Emma Hydront's car outside!



Door opened, and Emma Hydront marched into the room. She looked much older.

Emma: Argh, you did not keep the door shut, did you? The air in this room is representing strangers, I hardly recognize this place!

Cathrina: Uhm... what?

Emma: I found the key! And don't you think that I did not search for it right after I left you two here. I did search for it, and it was gone! Then I looked more, and it was still gone! But then it magically returned! Don't look at me like that, I'm talking about the key to the blue room!



Cathrina: That's great, Emma! It's the only room we didn't clean yet!

Emma: Don't wash away all the spirit, young woman! Keep some memories in respect for your... Gloria.

Alexander: So, will you stop for coffee?

Emma: No! Off to the blue room, I want to go in there first, you two can wait here. No, I'm not staying! I'm leaving right away!

Then Emma left in a hurry, and although it looked like she changed her mind several times before she reached her car, half a minute later she was gone.




Cathrina and Alexander looked at each other, they didn't really need to say how weird they found the freckled woman. She obviously had some feelings concerning the blue room, but was too afraid to see it. Or maybe not?

They walked into the corridor with the 4 lodger doors; the red, yellow and green rooms were already pretty clean, still with the old furniture, though. They stopped outside the blue room's door.

Alexander: Arg, the key hardly fits. There...

Door opened, and before they knew it, something screamed and made a quick move...



The room was dark, but they saw the white feathers whirling about.

Cathrina: A seagull? In here?

Alexander: Ouch, what a terrible smell!

Cathrina: The room just needs some fresh air... ouch!

Alexander: Close the door, and I'll open the window to let the poor bird out. I don't understand how it got in here!



Cathrina: Ah, look! A painting! An old portrait...

Alexander: Who is that? Gloria?

Cathrina: No idea, Alex! I've not seen her in 30 years, and that's not how I recall her. Not at all.

Before he had to leave for the harbour, Alexander inspected the room. There was a crack in the wall where the bird perhaps could have managed to squeeze itself inside. And the window was partly broken, leaving a little water on the inside window pane on rainy days. Alexander always searched for logics.

Cathrina was more open minded. How long had the poor seagull been trapped in this room? And would a few drops of water actually be enough for it to stay alive?

Greench Farm - my long going legacy

When my previous project SimBasic reached 3 generations, I found the community at Maccaroni Island (Magna Island) had grown to big to keep focusing on each and every household. Then I completed the SimBasic community legacy, and started to follow one household instead, namely the family at Greench Farm.

This legacy is special to me, because all the sims have a very rich background story, and anscestors were quite unique, descending from aliens, plant sims, and you-name-it.

Then the island itself holds a rich story, too. I know pretty much every inch of the place, from the settlers explored it long ago, how the various regions developed over time, and not to mention because I built the world myself :)

The story do focus on the family on the farm, but some aspects from the SimBasic story are to be carried on, and the fact that Godrian Greench represents the Southern Region on the Council, makes sure for including a few broader community tidbits. If you followed my SimBasic project, you will recognize a few of the locals that are still there, but more in the background.

The Greench Farm blog wasn't updated for a while, but I'm about to reactivate it this Summer, so now might be a good time to catch up for new readers :)

Today I added Greench Farm to the top menu, or you can click this link to go there directly!

Seagull Cottage chapter 4 - The old man next door

Cathrina and Alexander have moved into Seagull Cottage to see if they would like to stay here for good. It's already their 3rd day here in Galucca, Moon District...



Yesterday Cathrina discovered her grand-auntie Gloria Moonster's old diary. This morning Cathrina was up early (even before most seagulls were active outside), to read another quote from the old handwritten book.

"I arrived Galucca few days ago, and have just moved into Seagull Cottage. It's obvious that mother paid little interest in the outdoors, this little brick house and garden needs lots of hard work."

Cathrina: Still do...

"Don't know yet if I will like it here, but I'll give it a try for a while. I decided to grow some vegetables for my fridge, and to produce my own annuals for the garden."

Cathrina looked up. How weird, Gloria had been in pretty much the same situation that Cathrina and Alexander were facing this week. Then she heard Alexander in the kitchen, and quickly put the old book away.



Alexander: You were up early! Is that thanks to the fresh air?

Cathrina: Must be... I like the hour before the birds start their noisy business. Did you sleep well?

Alexander: Yea... not complaining. At least the old lady could afford a good quality bed. What's on today? After the cleaning, I mean...

Cathrina: Depends on the weather. I'd love to find out more about Gloria.



Alexander: So, should we replace the wallpapers, or just paint over it all?

Cathrina: Wait Alex. Let's spend the first week before we change anything. If we're selling this place, I'm sure it would be wiser to repair stuff that is no longer working, than to worry about Gloria's choice of colours.

Alexander: Selling Seagull Cottage? Longing for the city, are we? Anyway, it's not about colours, but P A T T E R N S. I'm sure we can get a better price if these patterns were eliminated.

Cathrina: I wonder how Gloria could run this place alone, even if she was married for a while, it ought to be lots of hard work. It's weird that I never heard about her hubby.

Alexander: And, didn't Emma Hydront say she never met him either?

Cathrina: She did, but I don't trust that strange looking woman.



Cathrina: Ah, you actually got the grip, Alex!

Alexander: Did you already forget that I'm used to wash cars at the gas station, sweet silly? The floor isn't very filthy though, Emma did a decent job cleaning it for you.

Cathrina: For us... I just cleaned the counter, I wonder how it would be like to serve a meal there, to the guests at my own Bed & Breakfast... We need a break, Alex, let's walk outside.



Alexander: It's such a great place... look at all the seagulls out there. Must be lots of fish for them.

Cathrina: I wonder why they seem to favor this spot. I mean, they got the entire area, the sea, still they seem to belong right here. Seagulls shouldn't prefer green land. Ha, sometimes I get a feeling they fly up here just to check on us.

Alexander: Maybe they don't like that we moved in?

Cathrina: Nah, those birds don't need a garden like this. It's a misty day, looks like there might be some rain.



Alexander: You know what made me fall in love with you?

Cathrina: No...? Wait, my yellow gloves, right?

Alexander: Nope, your dreamy sense of viewing things. You always want to give your ideas a chance. I never thought along those lines before we met.

Cathrina: So you don't regret our marriage, dear? It's been more than a year. Oh my, we're getting real adults! I hate to think of the day kids in the street will see me as that old woman, and not just that woman, you know. Kids probably think I'm stone age already...

Alexander: I wouldn't blame them, you could have been their mom, you know.

Cathrina: So, shall we pay a visit to our neighbours? Did you see anyone at all, down there?

Alexander: No, but we'll find out if we follow your idea!



They walked down the short hill, and as soon as they stepped inside the missing gate, an old man appeared on the terrace.

Viggo Kragger: Hello... there?

Cathrina: Hi, we're your new neighbours! We just want to say hello!

Viggo Krager: Of course... of course you are! I saw you the other day, and Brad... my son... said you were the new neighbours! Come on, I don't bite...



The old guy invited them inside. The house was decorated in warm colours, and although the walls were pretty calm, it was obvious that grand-aunt Gloria wasn't the only pattern lover in Moon District.

Viggo Kragger: Brad is at the library, you will meet him some other day... have you moved in... to stay?

Cathrina: We have not decided yet, but I really like Seagull Cottage.

Viggo Kragger: Ah, those birds... When I was young there were no seagulls to speak of. Oh yes... I was born in this house 85 years ago, I recall your cottage being built. Gloria's mother moved in there when she was widowed, and her girls left Galucca.

Cathrina: Oh, you knew them all?



Viggo Kragger: Ha-ha... *hark* ... yes, I met them all, Moon Trail isn't like your city, you know. Luphelia's girls moved to the city...

Cathrina: Please tell me more!

Viggo Kragger: *hark* ... not now, young lady. I need my medicine, but we'll catch up some other day. A month you said? No wait, a week. Oh yes... I know you will stop for a week to decide... *hark* so I heard.



Alexander: You were right, we got rain!

Cathrina: Such a sweet old, but weird man... did you see his ear? It wasn't even a ring, but a diamond.

Alexander: Not now, Cathy, I'm desperate to get inside...

Galucca development focusing more on local sims

So, you might have checked out my long time running Galucca project. I'm developing a town through 200 years, from settlers got the region, to the city will be filled with tall builds and the area packed with families descending from the first families - long ago.

This far I focused much on the regions, the various primitive builds and community structure. Starting now, the focus will be moved to 5 selected families. The future development will be seen through these five families.

The first family is thew Seylouse family, the reside a petter area called Pettonta Heights, nor far from the old castle. Check out how they will fare by finding the Galucca project page from the top menu of this blog.

Or, go directly to the recently posted chapter here!
