Help! I need somebody…

It turns out that Mootilda’s HoodReplace does not copy lots (which I should have noticed before). I now need a way to copy the lots that I created in the LC redux hood over to the Laurel Crossing hood. I tried copying the lot files and renaming the hood number. I’ve tried using SimPE to extract the lots over. Nothing has worked.

My only other option is to move the lots back to the lot bin so that I can place them manually, which will take forever. Does anyone know of any other way, before I do this manually. It’s like re- reconstructing the hood.

Thanks in advance!

Author’s Note: 8/22/10

I tried. I really did. But it looks like I’m not able to post anything today. Classes begin tomorrow and I have a full course load (6 classes). I have to begin early because one of the most interesting classes, Film Appreciation, seems to have the most amount of work- reading assignments, film clips and full-length movies, all required. Plus quizzes, a mid-term and final, along with a 5-page analysis project. Whew!

I’ll try to get postings during the weekends. I have the pictures, I just need to write them up. Hopefully, I’ll have something next weekend.

Until then, see ya!

Laurel Crossing Board of Education Curriculum

Superintendent Amelia Meade has mandated the new curriculum for the Laurel Crossing School District.

After weeks of research, Superintendent Meade has created the curriculum to meet not only minimum graduation standards mandated by the SimNational Ministry of Education, but also to meet entrance requirements to a variety of colleges and universities nationwide.

The curriculum also provides a vigorous academic plan for those planning to enter college. Thus, the curriculum is designed to meet the satisfactory levels of the SPAT, or the Scholastic Performance Assessment Test.

SPAT scores are detrimental to students applying to colleges and universities. SPATs are comprised of three sections: CSE (core skill evaluation), CIE (core interest evaluation) and CHE (core hobby evaluation). Credit to Apple Valley.

The new curriculum has arrived just in time for the grand opening of Laurel Grove Primary school, which will open its doors this month. Laurel Hills Secondary school will officially open in time for the new academic year in the fall of 3001.

For interested parents and students, there will be an information session regarding the new academic plan on this Friday in the Laurel Grove school auditorium, where the superintendent and the school staff will be there to answer any questions. For more information, please contact Superintendent Meade at cityoflaurelcrossing@gmail.com.

Edit: I have uploaded the file with my curriculum on it, in case you wanted it. The picture above is not very clear enough to see. Even though I have Excel 2007, I saved it in .xls format for those who don’t; so if the formatting is a little off, that’s why.

Round 3001 Census

Deputy Mayor Summer Frazier has just submitted results the first census:

Census will be taken once every two years, that is, at the beginning of every round.

• Wow! My population is so skewed toward the female persuasion. Hopefully that will improve by next round.
• The non-preference sexual orientation is the population of children and younger, as they would not have a sexual preference yet.
