Into the Future Guides

[Carl]

The Astronomy Career Guide is up. I'm back to work and will get on Bot Arena soon, probably tomorrow.

[Luanne]

Very helpful guide, thank you Carl

[Carl]

You're welcome, Luanne. Today's update: the Bot Arena Career has been added to the Guide.

[Shirin]

Thank you so much for the Guides, Carl, your work is greatly appreciated

Today I updated the Skills Guide for the last time. I put an infrequently viewed tips page I'd made early on at the top of the page so that folks could see lists of all the buildings for classes and get some generic tips for getting started. It really should have been a part of that page since the beginning. Once I get the Laser Rhythm-a-con Guide done and look for any extra edits, it'll be the last time I touch that page. Bittersweet, I tell you. 

Do let me know if I'm wrong about Sculpting, Nectar Making, Photography and Martial Arts having no classes.

Install Order has also been updated to reflect that EA says we don't have to install the EPs in any particular order, but I put my own caveat that I don't trust it and will continue as I always have. There's no reason to do a random order when we have a buggy game to begin with, so why not just go through the order we've all used before. I'm sure some of you will agree. I have a few people popping up there to tell me we're wrong to bother with it now, but I'm sticking with the order of release for my installs because it works and that's all I care about

Martial Arts has one skill book you can use to get to level 3, available in China.
The Violin skill was added with the Renaissance Faire lot.

[Carl]

Thank you for the information as always, Branr. I'll be sure it makes it to the Guide!

Just finished Descendants and added it to the list

Yes, I'll be doing a page on Legacy Statues. They did a good job on this EP as far as content, I didn't actually expect to get to write so many pages. Where seasons was only 5-6 pages of Guide-style content, this one is going to be over 12 when I'm done.

[Carl]

Begrudgingly I release the Laser Rhythm-a-con instrument skill guide despite the fact I can earn no tips with the skill due to a bug. I guess I will edit it later.

[Carl]

Break Time. I am in need of a couple days to chill as most of the important things are now completed and I've had a lot going on outside Guide development. Thanks for reading and to those who've commented with corrections. I'll make edits to several Guides (like what Branr mentioned) and Death as my next step, then cover Legacy Statues. We got featured on BeyondSims and I'm very happy to have my work shown off like that and the kind words they said about the Guide.

[Carl]

Today I finally got around to adding a page about Legacy Statues and how to get them. I'm slowing on updates to take  time for my health, but gradually doing background work to improve pages around the Guide.

Next, I'll just go around doing some additions people suggested from my notes and making sure things like these new Legacy Statues are linked and mentioned in relevant sections of the Guide. A page on Utopia/Dystopia is the next I'll release. I can hardly believe this one made it to the 12 page mark. Plenty of content here that people will enjoy over the Holidays. I gotta pray for a patch soon though, too many issues have plagued my install. I have almost everything I've seen a person complain about, though compared to others' experiences it's just a bad draw I suppose. Many people are doing fine with the Expansion

[bluebi]

thanks carl for that info but are you going to the quest time traveller give you to do

[Carl]

The Utopia/Dystopia pages will cover that, so it's actually next.

[bluebi]

ok thank you
