Another Noldus the Clown Observation last night!

(Year 233, Spring) It has become a repeating pattern lately. The mystical clown named Noldus keeps appearing at new locations, and nobody knows his true identity. For each observation the interests grows, and on SimMe the debates have been flying high the past day. Because, last night he was observed at Port Promise in Evergreen Harbor, Region Gloom.

This time the groups of fans and curious residents had met up in four regions where he did not yet show, with a hope of seeing him. Fans were ready in region Gloom, too, but in Newcrest and not Evergreen Harbor. Only one person observed him this time, Jane Opticom (29).

Region 12 Mazaloom becomes Region 8 Gloom

(Year 232, Winter) The Regional Reform Y233 was already completed and takes effect on 1st day of Spring Year 233, which is now only a few days ahead. The Mazaloom kingdom will still have eight regions, and while a few regional borders were adjusted, many areas were not much affected. Some new region numbers will appear, though. With the administrative implementation, a few more details are brought to the table.

The biggest changes regard the area formerly know as Region 12 Mazaloom.

Evergreen Harbor - New Direction

(Year 227, Evergreen Harbor) Here comes a delayed report from last Fall's 10 years anniversary for the green revolution that is still taking place at Evergreen Harbor. Back then the 3 maker markets were founded, some of them still in development.

This minor anniversary was on the calendar of the Barony of Gloom. The soon to be crowned, The Honorable Edward von Kaching and his fresh wife, Lady Merielle, spent nearly a full day in Evergreen Harbor. The pregnant Lady Merielle worried a bit for the pollution, but went on with the program. Edward's elderly aunt, Paula Ching Lady Mugger, insisted on joining them despite never officially representing the barony.

Evergreen Harbor claiming Rights

(Magnolia Promenade, Year 226) Yesterday a group of loud residents from Evergreen Harbor took to the streets! They shouted and waved their paroles as they marched up to Region 12 Council House, where they kept protesting and annoying anyone who walked by.

Their message was clear: Evergreen Harbor must be included to the political system as a full worthy neighborhood, with its own Spokes Sim! This must be handled by the Council in time for the next election (Year 230).

Paranormal #2 - Jeb Harris, Séance table and a Fishing Queen

(Year 226) I'm still having fun exploring the Paranormal stuff pack, and here are two more of my many households that are more or less involved with paranormality. Get ready for another massive picture post :)  (did you miss the first one?)

Spencer family
- Grims Quarry, Evergreen Harbor

The teenager Jeb Harris (family tree) is a mystery to many, I guess. The boy lives a life with a paper bag over his head (I still don't know what he looks like!), and there were no clue to explain his weird behavior - not until now! I made the backstory for this family long ago, but did not focus much on them. Jeb lives with mom and dad and one younger brother. His dad's mother, Francine, lived with them, she is the elderly daughter of Collin Grims who founded the local quarry long ago. The marriage never worked perfectly, as mom Faye focus on her Culinary career while dad Cletus prefers not making money at all. Old Francine was actually hoping for a divorce, because she wants them to take back the Grims name, rather than use the workers name, Harris...

I loved this picture of Jeb's meeting with a Specter! I never seen a specter get this close, it was hanging there for quite a while. Either this one needs glasses, or it got to curious when seeing a paper bag face for he first time. Anyway, Jeb has been into these things all his teenhood - it's the reason why he has problems facing the real world out there.

Industrial Pioneers of Evergreen Harbor

One of the first things I do when getting a new pack is focusing on the backstory of the world and those families that I want to keep. That's why I can present to you the stories of Evergreen Harbor's most famous men of the past - they founded the industry which also populated the place!

Evergreen Harbor never really honored these three men, all long gone. They could all deserve a statue! They sure made good profit from the growing industry, and well - their efforts left behind a landscape where pollution and industrial waste still overshadow any beauty, but they also hired lots of settlers. Many families would not have a job if not for Henry Pigulock, Collin Grims and Hector Sterling's tireless business efforts over several decades. And all 3 of them have descendants residing Evergreen Harbor today!

Residents Registry Updated

Finally, the error causing only left side info on a sim's bio has now been fixed. At the same time Evergreen Harbor residents and a brand new feature has gone public (earlier than planned for).

Addresses are now more detailed with name of house and picture of lot.

Also, the Real Estate info on the Community site was added. The previous "Real Estate" has been renamed "Moving" as the info was actually switching address regardless of owning or renting the lot.

The new Real Estate section has minimum one post per existing lot - including community lots, and shows old and new owner, as well as whether it was a sale, heritage, gift - or just an update. Most real estate trades also shows in a sim's LIFE LINE - on the bio page.

For some addresses there is lot history included, but this is a feature that was not completed yet. I also plan to add have the household address link to a list of all current household members. Not sure when that can be added, though.

Oh - and the Residents Registry now contain Evergreen Harbor residents! In the future this new district will be sorting under Gloomville administratively, but has its own section under LOCALITY.
