Because I always love to read what other people have done to the neighborhood and its sims, I decided to create this thread. It always turns out being so different and that's the reason why I like to build neighborhoods for upload.
Anyway, what did you do with the Emerald Heights sims?

I've moved the cemetery, and abandoned station & building (don't know what I'll do with THAT big thing, but I's cool) to the "bad" part of town, by the towers and the Lab - where I added a snack bar and a coffee bar--
At the old train station, I've added a "tenant" --
I'm putting a beach community lot on the street the lab is on, and retro houses (named 3 through 10 Beach Street).
And my first story-line starts:
The Blaque family were not coping well with the loss of their daughter. Ista couldn't bare to see her little girls room, and dug up all the white roses. Her husband agreed they needed to move, to start over. He would even get a new job. They moved to 10 Beach Street, right across the street from the proposed board walk. Knight gave Ista a tickle, "Maybe by the time the park is completed, we'll have a child to take there".
Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..
I've only played the Blaques to test out the child ghost issue/situation. Knight and Isla didn't waste any time to reconcile. The first few days I had them spend their time at the cemetery to see if their deceased daughter would spawn as a ghost, and fortunately, by the second night they were there, she spawned. She was slightly glitchy, albeit harmless. Well, not really considering she was scaring everyone around her, even her own parents. She was quite a pleasant child during her lifetime, but quite an angry ghost.
Once I figured that at least everything was ok, I sent them back home... I think I'll end it here, don't wanna spoil what happens next for others who are yet to play the neighborhood.
Please, call me 'mmaa', saves time.

We also have to fix some tiny bugs here and there.
But we've already begun to set up the download page for Emerald Heights. And it should be downloadable officially at the end of the month. Maybe on 30th of August.

Mr. Coppersmith thought he would never get over the loss of his wife and daughter...then he met Pearl Davenport. Not only was she poor, but an outcast. He didn't condemn her for being romantic; after all, she WASN'T a slut! She fell in love 4 times, then married, THEN had a baby. It wasn't HER fault she was so unlucky. Mr Coppersmith made a lot of money from a real estate transaction, and moved into her house. Pearl's "acting out" teen blossomed under the attention of his "new dad" ("We're going to the beach, just us GUYS!"). Little Taffy follows him around ("Can we get a puppy? Can we? Can we get a kitty?"). Bubble gum has become a happy boy...but why is Pearl sick al the time?
This--
... is quickly followed by flying macaroni. Who know Mr. Coppersmith is a food flinger just like all the Davenports!

Question about graves: I see from above that the Blaque daughter's grave is at the cemetery-- are the Coopersmith's there too? Pearl Davenport's last husband's grave is at her house. |
Yes, Seamus's late wife and son (Jia and Ron Coppersmith) are buried at the cemetary as well.
At the cemetary, there're 11 ghosts in total.
- Jia & Ron Coppersmith (wife/son of Seamus Coppersmith)
- Kyoto Yemon (father of Taffy, 2nd husband of Pearl)
- Ralston Griffin (father of Bubblegum, 3rd husband of Pearl)
- Dahlia Blaque (daughter of Knight & Isla Blaque)
- Jonas & Imogen Vane (parents of Judith Rafferty)
- Ephram & Wilhelmina Rafferty (parents of Caesar Rafferty)
- Melville Wentworth (late husband of Cecily Wentworth)
- Aretha Sims
By the way, I love the funny picture of them eating macaroni!

I'm sorry but I don't know when Emerald Heights will be finished. I barely have time to work on the neighborhood these days; not even to play the game itself. |
Take a break! I've heard you're just getting into high school - that can be quite the switch. Relax, let yourself get used to things, and come back when you're fresh and ready. Nobody is pressing you to release it.

Caesar Rafferty is still ruling the town, but recent incidents might lower his reputation with the electors. For starters, Cola Pavnoski gave birth to a son and didn't really care to be discreet about the fact that it's Caesar's. He'd better hurry up with the hush money, before she sells the story to the papers.
Caesar might be able to silence Cola, but Cecily Wentworth thinks it's incredibly funny that Sebastian Rafferty managed to knock up two of her three daughters and will joke about it at any opportunity. "My dear, you seem stressed out. You should relax a bit. Have a baby with the mayor's son, all my daughters are doing it! Well, not Vera, but she'll come around, I'm sure. She's always been a bit slow."
Fitzwilliam Bonet will have you know that he is not jealous that Pearl currently-Davenport married three more times, although it does seem unfair that she has had more men than he did. He is worried about S-Pop (he absolutely refuses to call the kid Soda Pop, what was Pearl THINKING?), the kid needs to enjoy his youth instead of caring for his constantly pregnant mother. Fortunately, Fitzwilliam has an idea how he can provide for his son. A little blackmail won't hurt the Rafferty boy, right? He's rich. He can take it.
Dr. Adam Splitter has been noticing some rather strange biochemical reactions whenever he sees his new lab assistant Mata Dore. Hopefully she'll be able to help him figure those out. Steve Dore, meanwhile, keeps himself busy hitting on all the girls next door, because if he stops, he'll have to think about walking in on his mother kissing the old fart and he does not want to think about that.
Isla Blaque did not take Dahlia's death well. She might have gotten over it in time, but her husband gave birth to an alien child, and a daughter to boot! She won't have Dahlia replaced by this weird green thing! Isla has started to research the paranormal in hope of getting her daughter back. Rumour has it the Rothspatz women know how to commune with the dead...

Fails saving roll. I'm playing Emerald Heights.

I played it before, and I'll play it again! And probably will work the same...it's my STYLE. I have default face templates (doesn't interfere with these "unique" mugs), skin tones, eyes, etc etc. I also play with ACR, which I set to enhance what YOU have created; Romance sims are either not at all jealous, or jealous of everything. If a woman is dressed and made-up like a old-fashioned girl, and seems gullible to me (no logic?) I will let her be duped by the cad. But (I'm going for RL here) an intellect may not be wise where her heart is concerned. >>>>>>>>>>>> I've moved the cemetery, and abandoned station & building (don't know what I'll do with THAT big thing, but I's cool) to the "bad" part of town, by the towers and the Lab - where I added a snack bar and a coffee bar--. |

I plan to re-write that tutorial. I guess, it's too confusing.

The Home is doing surprisingly well. The girls are starting to bond with each other and Claire, so eventually she'll be able to help them get better grades. Rocky Stone has taken up the hobby of making and selling toys now that his youngest is going to school and would like to donate some of the profits to the home, so the finances are looking somewhat better. If the King-Montes family learns about Holly, maybe they'll donate something towards them as well.
Fitzwilliam Bonet has decided to follow his dream and become a movie star, hoping that the money will allow him to live in splendor and rescue poor Soda Pop from Pearl's crazy house and her clumsy husbands who keep dying. Over at the Davenports, Pearl has managed to survive the first rotation, but is freaking out at the thought of having yet another baby. S-Pop has bullied Taffy into doing most of the cleaning work, so that he can cook and take care of Bubblegum, while Pearl rests.
Faced with two pregnant women demanding he marry one of them, Sebastian Rafferty's current plan is to hide. Eventually he'll have to come to a decision: Marry one of them or go partying with Genesis Montes. Possible comedy option: hook up with Cola Panoski.
Dr. Splitter and Mata Dore are falling in love again. Biochemical reactions are strong. Steve is traumatized.

Ceasar and Judith left for work shortly after the house loaded. Sebastian'd already missed his carpool, so he decided to blow off work and head out to see who he could find to help him work with that "woohoo five people" want he had. Red's Rendezvous sounded promising, so he went there and met Cherry Wood (bad chemistry), Mata Dore (bad chemistry), and Vera Wentworth (bad chemistry). He got to work on Vera and Mata anyhow because he found them both hot and can't believe that his killer combo of money, looks, and charm wouldn't overcome bad chemistry. But his charm wasn't working very well because I hadn't thought to give him any Romance perks before he got out of the house. He couldn't even get any flirt options with any of them other than "Check out" and "Wolf whistle." He wound up eating alone.
In the background, Cherry and Claire Voyante were sitting together watching TV, and Cherry kept making helpless gestures with her hands. So it would appear that Claire's decided the best thing she can do for Holly is to contact and counsel her parents, and she's starting with Cherry, which makes a lot of sense, since Cord's the one who decided to lock her out.
Sebastian then went to the Spa and Boutique, where he bought some new clothes (there's a flamingo-themed version of the tight-pants-open-shirt mesh that I thought would suit him down to the ground) and met LIanne Steele, with whom he has unambiguous chemistry and with whom he got along excellently. But he was tired so he went home and took a nap in his dad's bed (as I assumed the downstairs one to be) before calling her for a date, at which point Magnolia told him she was out at work. He was thinking about going out again when Judith came home from work with Vera Wentworth in tow. She finds Vera attractive, too, but was too busy having aspiration failure to make any headway, so Sebastian stole a march on her and got to smooth-talking, since he now had his perks. He and Vera made friends in the hot tub while Judith tried to cook dinner and got distracted by a conversation with Professor von Ball. As a result, she started a kitchen fire. The firefighter who arrived was female, so Sebastian tipped her $100 bucks and tried to flirt with her, but she left before he could get any traction. Ceasar, having come home slightly after Judith, answered the phone, told Claire Judith was not available, shoved his son, answered another phone call, talked at length to Knight Blaque, and went to bed. I tried to get Judith a cooking point from the TV, to reduce her aspiration failure, but she had to sleep before she was quite finished. Sebastian called for maid and gardening service (and was disappointed when both phones were answered by guys) and ordered Chinese because who could expect him to eat that blackened crap his mom made? Vera had to go home before he could consolidate his position with her and the delivery driver was also male. Sebastian tipped him anyway, just not as much as if he'd been female. Never mind, he's pretty sure he can make a clean sweep of the Wentworth women soon.
The Blaques were next. Isla was upstairs playing the piano and getting hungrier and hungrier, wanting to kiss Knight; and Knight was downstairs wandering around aimlessly except when he needed to throw up. Getting abducted doesn't seem to have agreed with him. He wanted to flirt with Isla and he was starving, so he made sandwiches and called her down. But he had to throw up again before he could Caress Hands at the table with her and went into red on comfort and lay down on the couch. This penetrated Isla's grief fog enough that she grew concerned and gave him a back rub. They then proceeded to comfort one another and rekindle their marriage. But Isla seems to have caught his stomach bug...
Seamus Coppersmith kept thinking about his wife and son, but knew he couldn't hang around brooding forever. The point of moving was to leave the past behind and build a new life, so he went out to the internet cafe, where he met a number of people (and Ronda Corner was chatting up Ash Wood over a game of pinball), including the Esmee Rospatz. Two bolts! He talked to her for a little while, then asked her to join him for lunch, which she did. They went to the Noble Noshery and had a nice lunch - nice enough that he invited her home with him. He immediately took a shower and she, not standing on ceremony, used the toilet - and flushed it. But it was awfully late so I saved it there.
One thing I find concerning is that one of the waiters - the first one who spawned - is shattering badly. Usually this indicates either a bad mesh (unlikely; the other waiters who spawned were fine and in any case it's the Maxis mesh) or a strained computer. It shouldn't have been particularly strained and if that's the problem, why this waiter and not the others? He was in the same state at both restaurants. I used the Gussy Up program to give him a new appearance and to Check Clothes, but neither helped. So I'm not sure what to do about that. If I'm straining my computer that's almost certainly why I'm crashing so much in the other game.
Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.
