It's... interesting. Much like my one farm house (that had three very LARGE plots of crops). Both were fun and different, though. Haha, I’ve had a pet breeder in a different hood. It’s… interesting.

I empathize with your bathmat situation. I opened one of my GlenRio families to find 8 toy bricks in their inventory Grrr lol A pet breeder…Good luck to you! and you have my sympathies in advance lol It actually wasn’t that bad until he got up to 5 dogs and no one had any money to take them off his hands.

Of course, I really like GlenRio and so I'm thinking I'll make someone new move to the island soon who wants to be a pet breeder. I love seeing how other people play too - but I realised once I'd started typing that it would probably go on for pages and pages and that no one would probably be interested except me :P I've allowed myself to let them recolour things, because otherwise they come home with HORRIBLE mismatching items and it looks so awful. Each item is fine on its own, but the combination looks terrible. Deco items, however, I'm keeping the originals they buy - I figure that I'll find a room where it's appropriate eventually. Although everyone has bought about 400 bathmats, so I choose the one that suits the bathroom the best and sell the rest (and just say that the sim didn't really mean to buy it - it does mess a bit with my 'no money from the Void' thing, but it's incredibly annoying when they've bought so many bathmats and then can't afford to buy something necessary, like a STOVE).

I love that you'll be taxing your sims, I pay taxes, why shouldn't they?! :) and that they'll decorate only with items purchased from other characters, that's a neat idea. Someone else who hates the Pets EP! I like having pets, but caring for them is far too distracting to my sims so I rarely have even womrats in a house. Besides, I feel terrible when the "your dog is starving" message pops up. I agree with Mao, it’s interesting to see how others play and a good source of inspiration too.

I am so nosy and interested in this stuff. I also love seeing how people build their houses... functionality over form? All that fun stuff. It is fun to watch a hood grow. I've never had a massively huge one, but I did one one with a mini-economy. Too much detail/rules/etc makes me bored. I have that with WoS (picture taking, story stuff, sets, etc) and Boreal Springs is time for me to unwind and just play. I used to use downloaded houses, 'cause I can't build my way out of a paper bag... but with BS, I'm building my own. Simply because I get bored with house layouts if they don't suit the family/etc. It’s always interesting to see how other people play the game. I am so nosy and interested in this stuff.
