I never did a business with OFB when it first came out, I sucked at it. And now I can do them with no issues, go fig. They are big with BaCC's and RKC's so I've learned how to run them. I knew the Mr. Potato Head face template was busted the NL goth Teen townie has the same face, got a rather nasty surprise when I used him the first time too. Anywho, nice chappie.

I can deal with the busted templates for now. It's been nearly a decade since Nightlife first came out, so I completely forgot that that one downtownie kid had a busted face template. I knew to avoid the ones in university, though. If I do download replacement face templates, it will be after I've finished this legacy.

Yeah, I used to be able to run a business in game no problem, but I guess I must be rusty. If I ever do a BACC, I will probably get up to your level
Thanks for commenting
When you have nothing else to do except laundry, you produce a good chunk of work

I also miss the exchange sometimes. Also, the krabby patties line had me actually laughing!
Sorry to hear about the lag, here's hoping it doesn't get too bad! I run the Ultimate Collection on Windows 7 fairly well, but I tend to steer clear of larger lots just in case.
You are flying through this! Looking forward to more

What a cool way to do a legacy! Some of those steps really made me laugh. "Teehee!"
Also, it's great to see you power your way through so quickly. I have a hard time with that, because I get attached.
It's neat to see the way the game changes with each pack, too. Looking forward to the next one.
Yay, simming for dummies! Just read volume 1, and got hooked halfway trough. The how-to style is an interesting twist, and your narration's really funny Okay, that's enough praising for now *resumes reading*

Totally understand your lack of enthusiasm for having to play so much of the generation again.
Looking forward to your next update, as always

Oh, MAN! That stinks!
My brother once called me a "pathological saver." Then, he broke into a long string of swearing when he lost his game after several hours. He never twitted me about saving too often again, either.
How did you manage to get bugs inside the greenhouse? I found that the best way to get a plantsim is to have a bunch of tomatoes (cheap, so I don't care so much about poor quality) outside, with NO ladybug house, and in the summertime. I'll use the Weather Controller to set it to summertime, if necessary, to get a plant sim. The bugs really proliferate in the summertime. Also, make sure that you do NOT leave the lot, or exit and re-load, because that re-sets your spray counter to zero. You have to spray at minimum of fifteen times, before the option to become a plantsim even comes up.
Or just download the mod that allows you to purchase the plantsim potion, and keep your plants safely in the greenhouse. That works, too.
Even with free will and not taking a lot of pictures, the sheer speed and volume of your work really astounds me.

I deleted a section of the greenhouse wall for a period of time (behind the bookcase) so bugs could get in.
As far as the speed goes, it really does only take a day or so to play out a generation in the house. I have multiple stoves on the main floor and enough beds upstairs, as well as multiple bathrooms so they can take care of themselves.
I was going to sleep, and then your update showed up! Wow, you actually named him Average. Great narrative as always

Did you try and collect as many of the vacation mementos as possible? I like to do that.
You're so close to the end! It's exciting!

I also have a Windows 7 laptop and desktop, I don't have lag issues with them and I have all but three SP's installed on my laptop. Anyway, good thing about FT is the secondary aspiration perks that let you Summon Aliens with the Knowledge perks that makes abductions possible even with the $500 telescope and daytime. Anywho, nice chappies.
