A Final SummationI have decided to re-start in Moonlight Falls. Considering how intricate Union Cove is, it's probably best I move my dynasty attempts elsewhere. I was getting enough lag that it was annoying, although certainly not game breaking.
I have uploaded my Dojo household to the Sims 3 Exchange for those of you who are interested. It's at
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=6376640. Some of the rooms are undecorated, as I never did quite finish designing it, but it's mostly furnished. Because of the uninstall, however, any items that had been restyled using a custom created pattern are now a blank white. I think in the new dynasty I may stick to the design of this house and build something substantially similar, because I really was enjoying playing in it.
In closing, I would like to share a few final pictures.
Here's Ayame all grown up.
She really did turn out quite lovely. I really like the shape of her nose! It's a bit odd, but distinctive. I think she's very bird-like.
Ayame and Herbert did get married, although they never showed much inclination for each other. Ultimately, they were going to split up because Herbert threw up a non-midlife crisis wish to break it off (as well as one during his midlife crisis). Their son, Yuri, turned out to be quite the cutey.
He unexpectedly got Samura's yellow eyes. He aged up to teen shortly before the file stopped working.
Jake and Paige did not, in fact, live happily ever after. After Paige's mom, Pam, died, Paige apparently couldn't take care of the kids by herself. They started dying off quite rapidly! After loosing four of their six children, Jake decided it was time to start a family elsewhere. However, even in China Jake's progeny seemed to be haunted by death. Strange fires, electrocution, drowning in swimming pools, you name it! Story progression really didn't like Jake's kids. Whether a green male would ever have lived long enough to be moved into the household is a question we will never now know the answer to.
Octavia, the first born, was one of the few who lived. Unfortunately, she was vamped.
You can tell why she survived; she's smart. No dying of hunger for this one! Octavia always had plasma fruit handy.
Eventually, Shin and Kojo started their own families in France. Shin managed to produce an exceptionally beautiful daughter, who inherited his blue hair and yellow eyes. Here's a picture, just because I think she looks really cool.
All in all, Samura and her family were doing quite well. There are many more awesome pictures that I could share, but I think these few sum up the story nicely. I've spoken with Samura about my decision to move her to Moonlight Falls. At first she was pretty skeptical and didn't want to leave her family behind.
Then I told her she was going to get witch powers.
Yeah, I think she's on board with the idea now.
