Shared neighborhood - ground rules
SweetCat:
This sounds fun =) Can i join in too?
humybyrd:
I can contribute some houses (not so good with businesses) and my story family. I would also like to try to do a farm imigrant or hobo town lot. Just need to know how big you want them- Lot size limit? or Price limit to start? Can also make some townies.
Zeljka:
I would like to contribute a family,
I was hoping I could
1. Create a new neighbourhood, delete all characters and create 2 families (fine, Maxis only) Family one is the family I'm sharing, Family two will be townies and put on an empty lot, given jobs then ignored.
2. I would play Family One a day or two to establish their bedrooms, relationships, a few memories, skills, and a bit of a story. I would promise to hire NO service people, their only 'friends' would be family 2.
3. Once a story is established, I use Inge's shrub to move family 2 in, and upload it with a note that X, Y, and Z (family 2) are actually townies and moved in to prevent the big fiery ball.
4. Whoever we upload or email this stuff to uses Inge's shrub to make X, Y, Z townies
That way, my family already knows people other than themselves, and as townies, X, Y and Z can possibly help introduce them around.
This way, we would have a nice variety of families and townies.
Typing this out now, I realize there would be a paperkid and mailman, but if nobody meets them, there shouldn't be a problem right? A family I'd moved to a different neighbourhood (before knowing what I know now) that didn't meet NPCs didn't bring them along, not even the maid.
Either way, I'd like to contribute a family, or townies and will follow whatever rules decided upon in doing so. Not a designer of spectacular homes (my sims have to earn them, and if they aren't played, how can they do that?) But I can certainly put them in a starter home. I also have a small but fairly efficient email community lot - heh heh.
Ancient Sim, I agree with you, I'd like to download a neighbourhood with a story, because the Maxis stuff didn't interest me. I prefer playing without my hacks and mods limited, I want smartserv, homework in bedroom, tripletquads, Inge's doors and shrubs, I could go on but won't. I love the idea of the chance cards and will do them without 'cheating' to do them, as it will make things more interesting and like that we can discuss how our games differ...

I think a lot of what you say, Zeljka, makes sense to me too, but I think I'm happier just making one family in a house. since it's been suggested that thre are some wealthy families in the hood, I could perhaps contribute a more expensive lot and A small family group living in it.
Or my original suggestion of a star house with a basement (the pool could be added later if desired) and a couple of floors with an observation platform. Since I still have an installation with just Sims2, this house could be made in that, without hacks etc., very easily, and would be available to everyone, whether or not they have the EPs.

I would love to add such a house in my hoods, I never was really good at making houses with basement.
