@Nutella I think what @oshizu is saying is if you start in Willow Springs, you have to start in the plot the Oakenstead household starts in. The instructions for that starting location is different to the other three/four starting locations, in that it reads that you get to relocate the other three families, but not that family. So, are we able to locate the Oakenstead household to another house should we elect to start in Willow Springs? @oshizu can correct me if I have misunderstood.
@Deklitch you are a mindreader! Thank you for explaining so eloquently what I wanted to say!
I've been away from the game and I could have just started a new game, but I remember wanting to play that household in Oakenstead but having to evict them.
Or is Oakenstead always vacant when starting a new game?
Thank you for clarifying, Pam, and Nutella, that occupants of a for-dynasty lot can be expelled at game start.
Also, I was reading back a few pages and noted that official Maxis-created lots (residences and commercial lots) can be added to Newcrest.
Someone then asked whether adding residences to Newcrest would draw new residents. Has anyone experienced this happening? That is, do new residents move into Newcrest homes?
I'm wondering if it's worth adding another town in Newcrest with homes and lots (bar, club, etc) or whether that would only necessarily bloat my save file without any positive results. But then again, the addition of Windenberg does away with the need for additional lots in Newcrest for an ID?
I might have just answered my own question....
