Its Update Day
While I wait for EA to fix the latest catastrofuck of an update, I am reverting to my usual habits of playing a save I don't care about breaking on the off chance I accidentally update.
There is a nifty new challenge making the rounds. I am notoriously bad at challenges but I enjoy using them as a rough guideline.
You can find the Cults and Communes Challenge rules here, and one of the creators has their own first episode of gameplay on her youtube channel.
For my version of the challenge, I am going with the Cult game play and I've made Prophet Crabtree.
A mediocre writer and failed wellness guru, he's opening the 'Crabtree Wellness Retreat' in Ravenwood (known for its many cemeteries), with plans to treat aspiring young stars and starlets for big bucks and eventual world domination. I've gone with 'Arrogant', 'Shady' and 'Street-Smart' for his starting traits and an aspiration to become fabulously wealthy.
I need to poke around and see if there's a good mod for tithing as one of the things I want to do is have him brain wash his stars and starlettes and then send them out to earn and send money back to the cult. So he can have an inner circle and then whales that he has under his thumb.
I have built a small little camping area for the prospects and their prophet.
And a pond and hot springs - though I have to recolor the iceburgs to grey stone for rock formations before I get much more into taking pictures <.<
Its a 64x64 plot so I just have two little builds on it to start but that's more than I really am supposed to have by the rules. I just wanted good backdrops for pictures :D
