Didily's Sims

Welcome back! It's been a while... I haven't actually played this game since roughly around the time of the last update in...*checks*...June, wow. But I had some pictures still and felt like posting them, so here we are.

I'm not going to do a big recap on everything, but here are some general refreshers for the island:

• A ship of singles on some sort of dating cruise crashed off the coast of an isolated island and the survivors have shaken up life for the locals by assimilating (in the case of Jessica, story mode's protagonist), stubbornly clinging to their normal lifestyles as much as possible (in the case of the rather useless castaways household), or living somewhere in between (in the case of David Bennett, alternate protagonist, and Earnest Langsford, lone castaway presumed drowned by everysim else).
• Local culture involves a class system where the chief and shaman are at the top, and lowborn and outsiders are at the very bottom. Some changes in status are possible, usually through marriage or (less common) adoption, and (rarely) changes can be decreed by those at the top. This was seen recently by former shaman Amanaki bypassing tradition to assign an outsider as his replacement, causing some controversy among the locals.


• In between there is plenty of relationship and baby drama, as is so common in a Sims game. ;)

And here's a quick recap on what happened last time with David Bennett:

• David's mission is to bring civilization to the locals and money in his pocket via his new hyena training and breeding business. So far it's slow going with skeptical locals and not super fertile hyenas. But he has high hopes that things will turn around soon!


• Current hyena population on his lot: Patupaiarehe (f), Korowai (m), and puppies Cascade (f) and Nepeta (f).


• David is very good at beachcombing, so if this hyena gig bombs out, at least he has some skills to fall back on.


• He also works in the Gatherer career, so between skilling for that, going to work, and training hyenas, it's been tough to squeeze a social life in there too, though he is excellent friends with Jessica and gets along okay with the other outsiders, plus a handful of natives.

Okay, now let's see how much I remember from half a year ago!

Welcome back to the island! Last round we met all the inhabitants (except the few I had no pictures of) and so this time we'll just pick up where we left off.
