Around Town: Tyler Household

I am really lazy when it comes to building so I try my best to find something in the lot catalog. But I couldn’t find anything big enough for Deidre, Corey and the kids on a small lot (I try to limit lots over 3×3). With their combined worth, they are well off but neither struck me has have a lavish home, so I decided to try my luck in building them a house.

Around Town: New Faulkner House

As promised, I have put up a lot tour for the Faulkner’s new house.

Gameplay Notes: Laurel Crossing Higher Education

This is a continuation of my previous gameplay notes of education in the LC. Before, it was a brief look at the approved curriculum at the primary and secondary schools. This time around, it is a more in-depth look at the university level.

Around Town: Tracy Household

To free up the somber mood from the last update, here’s a little treat: a lot tour of the Tracy household. I’ve now re-done all the hood placements and all playables have been moved into their new houses. However, not all of them have furniture yet. I figure that I will decorate each house when their update comes up. So far, I’ve completed Amelia’s and the Tracy’s houses. I’ll probably do a special tour of Amelia’s house on N99 (edit: it’s here).

Gameplay Notes: Assigning Favorite Colors

When it came to giving my residents favorite colors, I typically used Apple Valley’s method: using her database or using whatever color they transitioned into. I’ve wanting to use a more definite guideline and luckily, I have found an article on favorite colors and personalities, which is adapted from another published article.

You can find the article here, but I am listing the color-personality qualities below. This was just too good to pass up, so I had to share!

LC Redux: Progress so far

I have been working on city re-planning for Laurel Crossing for some time now. I’ve got most of everything done, including the base-hood uni. But I am completely burned out on build mode.

LC Redux: Laurel Grove Primary School…again

In my progress to reconstruct the LC, I wondered if I could build a school from scratch, instead of renovating a downloaded one. It turns out that I can!

LC Redux: Laurel Fire Station

The next tour into my rebuilding Laurel Crossing is the Laurel Fire Station.

Around Town: Goth Hall

I’ve been a build mode fool these past two weeks! The next stop on the University of Rockport tour is the final academic building: Goth Hall.

Around Town: Crumplebottom Hall

Photobucket is being a real pain right now, so not as many pictures as Landgraab Hall. The next tour on URock is Crumplebottom Hall.
