Hello! How are you? I know that you don't have plumwell anymore but I have a question... Do you create founders and gradually grow the families, relationships,etc. Or you make the whole family tree,relationships and all that stuff for the sake of the history?
Ps:I hope my English is good enough to understand.
OMG hi! I have no idea how old this is, I'm sorry if you've been waiting months for an answer. I was shadow-banned and didn't have access to my inbox.
If you've seen Melacoo River, my current 'Hood (it's way better organized than Plumwell ever was!), you'll have seen the Founders I created in CAS. There were six of them, and then a few more sprinkled in over the rotations to spice things up. I don't play with townies so anyone not born in-game is someone I made in CAS specifically for the 'Hood.
Ideally in Melacoo River I'd like to keep adding new Sims I made in CAS every few rotations so the genetics don't get too... um... intertwined?? I currently have 12-13 families that are already beginning to get linked through half-siblings (*cough* Carmine *cough*) and ideally I'd like to have about 20 of them by the time I have gen 3 teenagers.
As for how deep my family trees go, when I create a Sim in CAS I usually do one sim with no connections, but in some cases if I need more kids/teens in the 'Hood, like with the Goran-Bells (a pair of gay dads and their adopted kids), I will make families.
I really hope this answers your question(s), I know I got a bit rambly but I've barely thought the future of my 'Hood through so a lot of this is me brainstorming. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask! My inbox seems to be working fine now so I'll actually reply in a timely manner.
