Wow... Just Wow. I'm nearly without words. I've been avoiding Sims for quite awhile now and only recently has my schedule opened up enough to play again. Last week, I made some progress on my second try at a Dynasty, only to have the first heir get smacked dead by a meteorite. Poor Fish Stick, she was cooked.
I went out and got Generations, Pets and Showtime all at once and came back to discover that my main drive was data-clogged and decided to do the dreaded 'full re-install' so I could put the whole thing on the backup disc drive. While reloading everything and the kitchen sink, I took some time to peruse the guide a bit, just to preview what was new, cool and/or outrageous.
Imagine my surprise when I found the gift of the Forum. OMG OMG OMG! ZOINKS! HULLABALOO! The preview pics of UC were dazzling, and I got very excited about playing it for the first time. Finished with the re-load and went straight to UC. I've been playing it nearly non-stop, wanting to get some serious exploration done before giving my Immortal Dynasty a third try, but I can't imagine playing in any other town after this one, ever again. Even the wife was so impressed she wanted to play. So we've been playing nice and taking turns with my little explorer family.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, everyone who has touched this project. Truly a Masterpiece for the Ages, and thank you everyone who donated anything. This is going to suck up many, many hours of playtime in the weeks and months (and likely years) to come.

P.S. Thanks again for the marvelous town, I look forward to bringing the Stick Dynasty to life for the third (and hopefully final, successful) time in a Union Cove near you.
