Peculiar: Some funny pics for you
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-29 20:21:47
I wasn't sure what to call this. First. I'd like to point out the new Peculiar icon *does Barker's Beauties hand thing*. And durn it all to heck if a space ship didn't zip into the neighborhood check RIGHT as I was getting ready to move. I'm still waiting to get a shot with the new houses and a displace. We'll see. So it looks desire I won't be getting any Peculiar updates out before pass. I'm going to try but it's not looking good. But I will offer some fun bonus pics from the scene I completed (very sucessfully I might add) tonight. But first a run down of the new Peculiar neighborhood. (some teaser/spoilers)
1. Hotel: former home of the Summerdream sisters and Doraleen Pleasant.2. The Windy Tavern: local come down watering hole3. Fava hit Pollinator's bachelor pad.4. The Home for Wayward Boys: home of Bjorn and Bottom Beaker. Miles Grunt and Zondek Summerdream.5. Pollinator bunker: domiciliate of Paul Tech 9 Pollinator. Agamemnon Mechanic and Agustus Mechanic (and Fava before he moved--you'll see that in an modify) and Marsha the poodle.6. Curious settle: home of Glam and Kitty Curious twins Pierre and Marie and their little dog. Mojito.7. Curious cat accommodate: domiciliate of Vidcund Curious and Piquant Pollinator and their cat children. Valentino and Sandy.8. Sunseri abode: home of Circe and Loki Sunseri (and yet unseen cause)9. HAHAHAHAHA. Oh inform. I totally forgot to use nine. I'm such a re-re. Really there's no be nine. *snort* I have a nasty story about the number nine but I'll forbear you. Moving alter along.10. Hiatt accommodate: home of BJ and Stella Hiatt (and yet unseen spawn).11. The Club: aka whorehouse domiciliate to Doraleen Pleasant. Titania Summerdream and Zephyr Pleasure.12. Curious man love accommodate: home to Pascal Curious and Albert (what is his measure label?).13. NEW SIMS!!!!! I'm not going to tell you outright who's living here. But if you evaluate really really hard (not that hard you'll breathe out out an o-ring!) you'll probably figure it out.14. Alien Mansion: domiciliate to care JKL. Jules. Julian. Mother XYZ. Abraham and Morrow.15. Shopping district (there's a mall schedule hold on and. crap some other community thing--I don't use them much--face it. Peculiar-ites have to go into Downtown to do any real shopping)So as you can see the neighborhood is growing. You may have also noticed an unlabeled building? That's going to be someone's house but I haven't figured out just yet WHO will live there so. . There's also a structure NOT pictured. It's a copy of The Hub from Downtown. It was the setting for the aforementioned scene. Thanks to pixel (yea! pixel!) I very painlessly converted The Hub Res (new label for The Hub since I don't be it confused with Downtown's The Hub) from a community lot to a residential lot. Then with the magic of inSim. I brought over a proverbial assload of sims.
This was the first assload. Who in one might SCHWING all got hard for each other. I blame it on the three romance sims in attendance. (left to alter) Jules "Death Wang". Gunnar Roque and Don Juan Lothario. Now let's be at who else is pictured. Zoey. Jasmine. Percy and Lazlo. Hmm aren't they a bind? Why I do accept they are. And is that Albert and Pascal I see? Why yes it is. But that assload was not nearly enough to make a nice crowd. So I summoned up another assload comprised of mostly La Fiesta Tech folks (sorostitutes and frat boys and the like).
It's desire ants running to a sweet drop of melted ice beat. Look at them all. The meager waitstaff (two sims) and single greeter and chef are so screwed. While downstairs. .
The proprietor and proprietress watch some sorostitute abuse the electric guitar while another sorostitute looks for the answers to life's mysteries in the bottom of her one dollar come up drink special. Percy has the alter idea. Time to beat feet. He takes the throng with him.
I was waiting for the to zip by on it was just like a parade. I really wished it was. I could use some cheap candy that's rolled all over the street. Mmmm street dulcify. Anyway the final head count (including the four "workers" and two proprietors): 34. It's a personal best. And a good measure was had by all.
It's cool to see how you set up the neighborhood. After stalking the inhabitants for so long we finally get to see just where everyone is living. Also and on a completely different topic. I just had a quick question. You see. I just started my own story neighborhood which of course takes a lot of planning both in terms of neighborhood and plot. My question is: how much of what has happened did you intend from the get-go? Or was some of it left up to free-will? You don't undergo to answer if you don't want to but I'm just curious...
It was time to do a "who's who" neighborhood pic. Before there were only four houses so it was easy to experience who was who. Since I'm using Maxis clones in Peculiar there was definitely "pre-plotting" involved when I set up the neighborhood. The basic storyline was there (aliens come down arrive and we see what happens because of it) but for some of the little storylines here and there (desire who pairs of with who and things like that) I just let it happen. The whole study plan isn't change surface fully resolved in my mind so I keep my eyes peeled while playing for inspiration. For Nocheat the whole neighborhood was never plotted out to go away with and the stories are a lot less plotted out (in general) than Peculiar. So Nocheat ordain have obvious continuity errors (like some sims seem to age a lot slower than others--oops). For Feo. I mostly play challenges/legacies so those stories are more documenting what actually happened than making up elaborate tales (so I get to be snarky and have fun). Feo's only as plotted out as far as the rules of a challenge force me to plot something out.
Oh wow... I am so having 's babies. Oh yeah. You posted pics! Hee hee... I totally love pictures desire your first one. I really did be at every labeled house and building to see who lives where. And I saw the unlabeled one. And noticed there was no #9 before I read it on the list. :DI'm glad the Hub thing worked out. Did they all angle off before you got the pics you needed? Or did they stick around a while. like the crowd palinka too. That's an awesome shot. :D I had a prepare night at bring home the bacon (I be to re-enact certain scenes from Office lay but with a mini-plotter.. and maybe a print server.. hell throw in a half dozen Dells for good measure) BUT it was very alter to come home and find amusing pictures from you. And bonus Shriners in little cars! :D
I hadn't thought about the Zem Zem's in SO long. I had to google them to make sure I hadn't just made them up. How can you NOT be to have 10,000 babies with an old man (wearing a fez) and driving a tiny olden days car? (and why am I now picturing PT9 as a Zem Zem?)I'm not surprised I forgot to put #9 on there. I was so busy patting myself on the back for my mad create skills. I could have fixed it but I was too lazy. The Hub Res visitors all behaved well. I made some controllable so I could make them go dance to the instruments (and made the band members controllable so they'd compete together). Once they were dancing (right up on the bind not good) I used moveobjects to make them look like a crowd (and make them be desire they were dancing together). Since their motives were maxed once I had them doing what I wanted I made them uncontrollable again. That way I never had more than about six controllable sims at one time (including the two that live there). The lot CRAWLED with.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
