Finished setting up the Base Game version of Murkland. Not sure if I'm going to re-up anymore of the base-under lots. 1) Don't feel up to play testing them, some of which is due to my current health 2) Outside of the hot springs & the Puffer Dome, really didn't need to do anything more than repaint a few bare walls, which takes all of a few seconds in game. Although in the case of cliff dwelling and Mad Mud's house I did remove some oversized furniture that the game placed in place of rocks from one of the ep's. Very essential bit of set up for any s4 game if you don't want ea's poorly coded story progression from wrecking your town. Make sure that box is unchecked. By making sure the box is unchecked it seems to slow down the infill of new npc/townies which can lead to the culling of your towns. Next bit of set up, even though currently it's not required by the challenge, I emptied Willow Creek out of all buildings. This also helps cut down on the addition of random townies by story progression. Since I don't have outdoor retreat (nor do I plan on getting it, at this time) I scoured the gallery for a hermit lot/house and decided this was the one to go with. I also downloaded the Hermit by the same creator. I placed the house and sim on the lot kitty corner from the lot that had been the Goth home in Willow Creek. So even though in the base game there is no herbalism skill to learn I can still befriend a Hermit. ;) Next I swung over to Nukecrest (Newcrest). I moved the Murked up museum over here and also placed a second starter camp with Dusty Boots moved in. I decided this was probably the better option. The other two I was considering were moving Dusty in with the Burners or Mad Mud, or placing her and her starter lot across the way from the current starter lot. Lastly I added the Crafts & Retreat Acres lot as well as the Nukecrest Ruins Park created by other simmers for the challenge in the same corner of Nukecrest as the museum.
