I made a mod to arrange the worlds as in the Home Regions settings. I was wondering if you'd be interested in me sharing it with you to include as an optional download. While doing so, I noticed that Glimmerbrook is in Central Europe, while The Sims Wiki says it's inspired by the Pacific Northwest (like Granite Falls, Moonwood Mill, and Evergreen Harbor). I'm curious, did you do this to merge the occult worlds?

Thanks so much for your work!

Thanks for your message and you're very welcome. I did originally have Glimmerbrook in the PNW because of that very note on Sims Wiki. But as official Game Lore (from Werewolves Game Pack) clarified the relationship between Spellcasters and Vampires, it made more sense to group those two together. Purposely being vague in my response as to not spoil anything for folks who haven't discovered these pieces of Lore yet. Also, architecture fits better with the addition of Ravenwood as well. As for World Sort, PM me and we can see what's up.

Hello,

Fingers crossed on the update for the new pack that there are no issues while you work on it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for your work!

The Nov 4th fix for inventory photos bug says it only affects new saves. Will an update be necessary before Lore saves are safe?

Additionally, would you consider adding the Scenario Sims, like Nova Curious, to the save? It seems that the game won't force progressing the scenario unless playing the household or the scenario is selected from the menu.

Hello! I still don't understand what they mean by "new saves." As no photos have been generated in this save file, I am going to leave that alone until I know more. As for Scenario Sims, I did think about adding them except that Nova Curious is supposed to be Lazlo's daughter which would require aging up all three brothers, Tycho, and the Smiths, which would take away the fun of their storylines. My recommendation is that if you play these families, when Tycho is a teen (minimum), play the scenario and use MCCC to assign Nova as Lazlo's daughter (and give her a relationship with all the related characters - don't forget her other cousins Johnny and Jill!

With the update to Family Trees and Dynasties, I expect some of the relationships in this save file to break. Once the official lore on family trees are updated AND the mods I use to edit this file have been updated AND there are no new save-game-breaking bugs AND I have some free time, THEN I will update this file.

Update on Feb 13: The changes to Family Trees (Base Game and Royalty & Legacy) is massive (in a good way). I am making a game-plan for how I will tackle this update. I will likely need to rebuild from scratch to preserve the now canon trees, and for the sake of save file bloat, will need to make some adjustments as to what all is included in this save file. I will need to figure out how to replace released Ancestors with playable ghost to preserve the family/lore connections (mostly with the Thebes).

Thanks for the update and interested to know what you decide to do. Your mod was the first thing I thought of when I heard about their family tree update, it's just bad luck they finally did it right after you last rebuilt the whole thing.

Hello. Hope you can solve how to replace the ancestors. I know the number of changes required must be massive. We'll patiently wait for your updates.

I'm also here patiently waiting for the update
By chance, are you going to add dynasties in other worlds, like the Goths or the Landgraabs?

Hi, any ETA for the update ? Since there won't be any new pack releases, I'd like to start a rotational megahood with all the townies and your save would be perfect for that !

Hey folks, just a quick update that I haven't forgotten about this file. With all the updates I am scared of save corruption and I am doing my best to preserve the family trees introduced by Maxis and the Lore we've established. I'm having to teach myself new skills, and I recently started a new job, so please bear with me!
