I just found this story and love the challenge, I might try it myself!!
I love hidden Springs but the lag issue is terrible, makes me so sad. I reset the town every few Sim days and that seems to help a bit. ( I have mods installed and they didn't seem to help either!) So very very sad.
Question - moving to different towns how was that accomplished? Mods? Or saving family to the bin and starting a new town up and placing them? Does that keep all their skills/LTW points etc? I assume it would cancel out their friendships (that seems obvious) I've never done it that way, in fact I don't think I've ever moved a family from one town to another.
Question - How did you get a LTW during baby stage? Your rules say you randomly rolled a LTW for the babies... how?
The genetics are awesome, the last child (young adult) is a cutie! Amazing since some of the children (in my opinion) were a bit iffy... especially after you introduced the Ursine genes in there
I'd love to read more of your stories! And I agree with everyone, your houses are amazing! Mine always seem to look like boxes.
