LongSleeveBustier replaced with @vulrien-sims JolieBean Strawberry Blouse

Quick story: I originally made a default for this using vulrien’s eco-living crop sweater but saw this top like 20 minutes before it was queued to go up last friday and was like ‘nope’, because this shirt felt like a more natural fit.  Pedantic detail because it doesn’t matter really but that’s me... lol

Guys, I agree, so much. Unfortunately, I know the neighbors well enough that I can’t pretend to feign ignorance about who she belongs to. And the residents have been here almost a year and, if the home owner ‘wins’ the house in his divorce, I imagine they’ll continue renting from him.

Judy was in my backyard for six hours before I finally texted the owner again, asking if she would be home anytime soon. She replied “I won’t. Can you just put her back in my yard?” So, she KNEW Judy was in my yard (I mean, I told her she was, but she remembered) and she didn’t think to mention how late she would be home earlier. Or ask me if I had plans. My husband is on duty today and wanted me to drive up to bring him something. Couldn’t go. Not to mention, she already escaped from the yard once. I didn’t have much of a choice though because my dogs needed to be able to use their yard. So I took Judy back and secured the post as tight and deep as I could. Hopefully it stays until the owner gets back “late tonight”, whatever that means.

What really, really upsets me was that she planned on leaving her dog, all day, out in the sun and heat with no shelter and, from what I could tell when I went in, no food or water either. Animal Control closed not too long after I initially contacted the owner and they’re closed tomorrow. If she escapes again, she’s staying in my yard until I contact an official. Because this stuff has got to stop.

Anyone who is familiar with creating an entire world would totally understand! It can seriously be exhausting. And you can always look over contributions and change things here and there (although I'd suggest making that clear up front).

It definitely is exhausting! Even thinking about how many there are to go yet! And yeah, I definitely wouldn’t want to go back behind someone and change things, unless it was a case of something missing (or obvious use of CC or something).

Some empty houses is always a great idea imo. Some sparsely furnished and some fully furnished is perfect I think. Most people change things up and there are some who might want it all done. I am happy to help furnish :)

Well, I’m hesitant to do shells that have nothing in them since players can purchase unfurnished if they would rather decorate themselves. Though I suppose that would help keep the population smaller, while still making it look like a good sized world. Something to think about.

I think it's a great idea! This way you get a variety in the decor as well. As I'm sure that not everyone has the same tastes. If you decide to go this route, please let me know if I can be of any help.

Yeah, I have my own personal taste so, even with different furnishing and CASTing, my interiors tend to still be similar in style. Variety certainly wouldn’t be a bad thing. Though I draw the line at copying EA interiors, lol

Sure, why not! I recommend to make a white-list for cc though, so that not every house comes with it's own (more or less huge) decor. Also yes, leave some with basic furniture! For townies it doesn't matter, players will redecorate anyway.

Haha, very true. If CAST wasn’t a thing, it’d be done so much faster. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I love CAST and I love the freedom it provides. But for a large project like this, it slows me down because I can’t/won’t just plop in basic furniture without CASTing it. 

And CC as a whole is blacklisted for GB, other than some of terrain paints and stuff I’ve made for it, which wouldn’t be used for interiors anyway.

Well I want Greymont Bay quite badly and pretty much the only thing I can squeeze out of The Shitlord at the moment is sim-making and building so I will help if you need it

Are you sure though? I didn’t think you were that interested. Haha, just kidding. What is wrong with shitlord though?

Well I guess there realistically would be large amount of variation in decor, so I wouldn't consider it a bad thing. Must be quite stressful thinking about decorating them all yourself!! :)

Yes, exactly! Variety in the decor would definitely be more realistic and absolutely less stressful for me. Now I think about how to coordinate everything and how it would all work.

I think it's a great idea to let people furnish the lots. I don't know if this is just me though, but why not leave some with light furnishings? I mean toilet, shower, fridge and so on. Irl you dont really buy fully furnished houses anyway ;)

Like I said above, players can choose to buy furnished or unfurnished houses. Having them furnished means other families will be able to move into them since there’s (supposed to be) some kind of check to make sure a house is livable. So if I only did IRL furnishings, it’d be a pretty empty neighborhood!
