01-03. The Building Continues

I had an issue with one of the lots I placed in game. The game crashed 3 times when I clicked to get back to Edit Town after trying to fix it. The trouble was the spawners! Apparently, the lot had been rotated so many times (before I downloaded it) that new spawners had been generated over and over again.

And every time I tried to delete them, the game crashed. I finally gave up and bull dozed the lot. BUT, when I checked the "cleared" lot, the spawners were still there!

Here are the Spawners from Heck. Under these visible spawners, are at least 7 or 8 more hidden below the top ones.  I took a sledgehammer to them all, deleted the problem lot from my game, and placed a different lot down instead. So much work!

THEN, I had trouble with the roof in the Faraz house. It was blocking one of the gabled areas so Emad couldn't use his Sim Fu blocks. It took hours fixing the one roof so that it looked good enough and matched the rest of the house design. I hate doing roofs! 

Here are some pictures of the Faraz house as it is now.









Here are pics of the minions' lodge. It's better than the container house they had back in Rinn Fada.

The Aftermath Base House for the intergalactic tourists who find themselves in Lost Cove.

The Base is by the Ancient Pool and the abandoned City Hall.

Bare necessities.

Outhouses in back.

Pizza!

The tourists arrive.

01-02. Lost Cove Builds

Here are more pics of different lots when I first placed them in Lost Cove.

An old All Night Diner.

The minions hanging out together at the diner.

A fishing spot with wild horses.

The Dispensary (hospital), using a RH replacement rug.

The Nature School and Bookstore, using the school and bookstore RH rugs.

Some of these pictures were taken during a full moon, so the color is a little intense.

This is a small park, Freshly Market, with the harvest carts.

A park with the gypsy wagon, Eyes of Irma. It's close to the Faraz home.

Pablo and Jennifer Martinez, a couple from the game's library bin. I tweaked them just a bit and used them to test the world at first. They live across the street from the gypsy park.

The two of them rushed over right after the park was placed, and I found them there. They both have the Loves the Outdoors trait, I think.

Here's the Ancient Pool. It was originally an outdoor pool, but I enclosed it because of Seasons.

There are a couple of boulders underwater in the corners of the pool.

Two minions found the pool one night.

BTW, there are only 7 residents in Lost Cove right now: Bebhinn, Emad, the 3 minions, and the Martinez couple. The rest are service sims, a couple of paparazzi, and a few tourists.

I need to put down a Base Camp, but the service sims all live in the apartment cabin I made.

The Martinez apartment.



This area is public. The call box and mailboxes are located here.

Upstairs is another small public area. The two doors lead to hidden NPC apartments where the service sims live.

The apartment is next door to the Faraz home. Several nights, I heard an alien space ship. Finally got a screenshot. There are 3 aliens living in a hidden NPC apartment. I guess they leave from it to do their nightly scans and abductions!

01-01. The Need for Horses

 I spent time in Lost Cove last night. Needed to place some lots. I put down several from the Lost Cove creators, with some modification.

Right now, I'll just share the main change to that game. There is only one short road in Lost Cove, so cars are pretty useless. I decided Bebhinn and Emad needed horses. They both got wishes to buy a horse too. Bebhinn is an Equestrian--not sure what Emad was thinking, wanting a horse. They didn't have much money, so I made them sell the VFN Kompensator Emad had in his inventory, worth over $32,000. 

Anyway, I placed a Horse Ranch lot in the world and used the rabbit hole replacement doors to add an Equestrian Center to that lot. It's the first time I've tried the doors and they worked perfectly.

The small building is the rabbit hole. I made it separate from the main barn.



I left the 1st floor of the barn pretty bare so horses could move around in there ok. I might add something else later. In the back, are two staircases and two All-In-Ones.

Upstairs is a snack bar, two serve-yourself juice bars, and seating.

I also needed to add a small barn on the home lot. It's not very big because the lot doesn't have much room for horses.

Emad upgraded the trough to auto-filling.

The upstairs loft has hay storage and a small garden area. Yes, they're growing WonderPetals. 

The Equestrian Center doors worked fine when they bought their horses. This is Luna. She's Agile and Brave.

Sorry it's dark, but this is Shade. He's Agile and Aggressive.

I wonder what's on Shade's mind. 

I've never had an Aggressive horse before. I'm trying different things in my game now. An aggressive horse seemed perfect for Emad.

Just as Emad likes to scare Bebhinn, Shade likes to stamp at Luna ...

... making her upset ...

... then he's sweet with her.

0-Introduction. Lost Cove

Lost Cove is a cluster of islands set in a post Apocalyptic world. Fate brought the Farazes to this strange land.

Emad Faraz is Marvin Bunter's half-brother. Emad appeared in Rinn Fada without warning and the brothers came into conflict at once. Bunter (aka Majid) was of the heroic mindset while Emad carried the Evil trait. 

While in Rinn Fada, Emad romanced and married Bebhinn Walsh, who became Bebhinn Faraz. 

After the suspicious death of Bebhinn's father, Emad and Bebhinn, along with three of Emad's minions, were banished by Bunter and Caprice to Lost Cove.

The Farazes have had a few troubled times with their marriage, but generally are devoted to one another, both having the same Evil approach to life.

Emad and Bebhinn had a daughter they named Faith. She is a genie like her father.

Faith also has an imaginary friend named Paladin, who was made real with a magic potion.

The Farazes brought Luna and Shade into the family not only as pets, but for use in riding around the partially destroyed island world. Both are Agile horses. Luna is Brave and Shade is Aggressive.

Shade and Luna had a foal, a little filly. And because she inherited her father's Aggressive trait, she was named Tempest. She also inherited her parents' Agile trait.
