Computer crash - old story projects on hold

I recently experienced a serious computer crash and will need to reinstall everything just to get my stories going again. Due to other projects this can't be given priority right now, but will be dealt with shortly.

Thankfully I have some backup of most sims projects. Unfortunately those saves are about 6 months old, but then again - thankfully most stories were not played much lately. I know I lost a few builds on Hope Terra, but that might pretty much be all. Not more than I can redo.

The old hard drive might be intact, too, but if those buildings are the only major loss, I won't bother with the cost to access that disk.

While I get my new system up and running, reinstall all my sims discs and test if the backup works, my simple "The Ugly Wickerwood" story, that is run on my laptop and is the only project not affected, will still be told here on the blog. More news on Hope Terra, Gloomville Diaries, Seagull Cottage, Detesters and Greench Farm will follow.

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 :)
