For the most part, a little blurb like this will be my update post from now on, which no longer really qualifies as a story, but I do have a little story going on in my head.

To start off Week 6, new arrival Agatha Crystalbotham ~~swindled~~ earned over §2,000,000 with her Crystal Card Club, and used her winnings to purchase the Public Toilet in St Hubert (cuz charging desperate Sims is how Agatha rolls) plus an additional 48 community lots for her new development called Crystal Vista, as well as funding bogus online, bet the suckers don't read the fine print Crystal University. Ooh! Shiny!

(Note Tiffany Zarubin's bag o'cash and the snapdragons Agatha coerced from her at the end of Week 5. Also, Agatha wants to call Tiffany to order more - 21 was a good start but not nearly enough for her expansion plans, heheh)

Population: 102 (+1 added Agatha)
Sim Multiplier: 55 (+10 for 50 community lots +5 for new Uni)
Population: 5610 (+1570)

I now have 12 potential business districts and 6 near-Tycoons coming up in the rotation, so expect more nice bumps in population.

Phew, I made it! Here is the Week 5 finale :)

Hello and welcome back to Mesa Vista and the debut of Tiffany Zarubin's household. Yes, that Tiffany Zarubin of Garden Club fame and, we also discovered in Part 21, Nora Gainsborough's intrepid Aunt Tiffany, which is mainly how I refer to her.

Okay, I really finished the challenge over four years ago, but I today I wrote and posted the final update on boolprop four years to the day of my last update. It's short and pretty lame given how much time and effort I invested in my AC, but it finally dawned on me today how silly it was to sit on a completed Apocalypse just because I couldn't be arsed to caption some pics in order to make it official.

I'm posting this here even though I'm using LJ almost solely for my BaCC because some of my LJ friends no longer frequent boolprop, and I wanted them to know I did actually finish. So, for any readers here of Romancing the Apocalypse, I'm linking to both Slideshare and Authorstream (went back to the slideshow format for consistency's sake):
http://www.slideshare.net/lorinsv60/romancing-finale
http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/lorinsv60-2536489-romancingfinale/

And on the off-chance anyone would like to read it from the start, the whole shebang is here on boolprop:

Stay tuned for our regularly scheduled BaCC some time soonish!
Thanks, and Happy Simming!

For over a year I have envied

simlili the pretty sky in her game, and after searching on and off for months, I finally found it was my View Distance in game options (not graphics options) that needed to be set to extra large (mine was at medium).

Behold!
