I'm playing it, with Widespot as a subhood. Have started a story with them (on the story thread). I love it! Like the other custom hoods, it's fun to take their "set up" and make it my own. And I love the unusual faces, although I have to admit to sometimes making a "pretty" for someone's partner.

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

So, before I do anything, do I use this thread for the weekly/daily/periodical updates to how my hood of Bayside goes?

Alright then!
I'll paste the past weeks story to catch anyone up who likes to read.
(Already posted)

Part 1:
I added 2 new families to spice up the hood. There's the Amberchase family (Matt and Nicky Amberchase), siblings, who live together across the street from Constance Sinclair. They've moved here upon hearing of the murders, and are determined to help Chase Z. find out who it is. But they have growing suspicions on certain subjects..

The second family I moved in was the Aretha household. It is 1 woman, her name is Sia. She dabs in witchcraft, believes that she can conjure spells to make people love her, and has always been called a 'freak' by people who knew her. She has been a registered 'stalker' of the people in the Amberchase household for quite some time, going as far as purchasing a lighthouse just to live near them. Determined to get Matt's heart, she lives alone in her lighthouse, not knowing anything about the murders or the murderer him/herself.

Anyway

My story has probably advanced further than most in the fact that I probably did some things that you guys would recommend I don't. I've had the 'killer' kill more story plot characters to juice up the story. (After playing as all of them for quite some time of course, I allowed some aging to happen)
Now,

I plan on continuing this murder mystery for the final unveil. One, or maybe a few more important story character(s) will die before this mystery is solved.
There are still so many more families and ideas to involve that aren't even here yet. I would love to come back and elaborate my story for you guys if you don't mind. Believe it or not, this is actually a very rushed version of saying what I was elaborating on, lol.

Also, spectacular job. This is probably my favorite downloadable on this entire site. Neighborhoods with a story, that I can actually ELABORATE myself on, are hard to find, and especially something this cunning.

So, thank you guys for making such a perfect neighborhood. I've fallen in love with Bayside Flats again everytime I load up Sims 2.

---

Part 2

I'll put it all in spoiler tags for convenience

I will join you, then. My story is just to the point after the deaths, and I'm now doing background stories in Widespot . What's happening THERE is important to the mysteries in Bayside Flats. I've already played both to the point that everyone has aged-up, but the story has to end BEFORE too much of that. I figure the mystery should be solved within months, not YEARS. So while Widespot can progress for "20 years", that all has to be prior to the murders. For those who know about Widespot:
Sandy Beech had a baby by Rhett Hart; she has no memory of having sex with him, she must have been drunk. Penny Weiss has daughter Dollah by um...I need to make notes, I've forgotten all the babies

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

Sandy? Rhett? Penny? Am I talking about the same hood?

Alright, time to update my story.
Really didn't want to unveil this part, but I realized that if I'm going to have the story be exactly as I need it to, I need to unveil the 5th and final new household a lot earlier than I want to.
5th household, one person, Sabrina Edwin.
I will stress this as much as possible, Sabrina Edwin is the MAIN PROTAGONIST of the Bayside Murder story, and the reason of that will be explained soon as well.
All I am saying tonight is her biography, a tiny update, and why she moved to Bayside Flats.

Here are spoiler tags for the tiny update.


Sabrina Edwin is a black/african american female, and the proud cousin of Chase Z. Keller.
Early 20s, Long beautiful flowing black hair.
Trinidadian heritage.
She is a Wedding Planner (MTS Custom Career), and ironically, she's always wanted to be the one planning her own wedding, which she believes won't happen anytime soon.
No children. Deceased mother.
Usually in heels.
(Sim actually taken from a Sim Download here on MTS. Pictures will be provided when I find out how to do all that fancy shmancy uploading biz)

Again, she is the main character and the PROTAGONIST of the story.
Our killer, or, 'antagonist', is still out there. He/She is actually still in one of the households that were already there at startup. Who could it be?
Who do you guys think it is (in MY version) so far?
Any ideas? Need more info before you can decide?
I love inputs and opinions on my story, any criticism and questions are open!

Everytime I take 1 snapshot, then another, the original first snapshot deletes itself. I'm confused to why.

I use Fraps (the free one) and it works great and Windows 7 will convert them to JPEG with no problems.

Alright. So this is a tester post to test picture posting.


Orb Kazaam, (local witch, now living in the newly deceased Constance's cabin) thinks she has her plans all set out to work when it comes to taking Cher's gravesite. What could she have up her sleeve? Why does she want those graves?


Cassidy, mourns her newly deceased brother, Ethan.


Sabrina has had no leads when it comes to who killed her cousin. Nobody alive can help her, but who said they had to be alive?(Not revealing her face yet!)

The anonymous killer has finally shown themselves, and ..are in Matty and Tanya's household?
"Hey, little Tanya. Want to hear a secret? Daddy will be going on a trip soon. "


Hehe. Don't think you can discover the killer by the pants or the shoes. I gave this killer a complete makeover, wardrobe and all.
(How often am I aloud to update you guys? I like to elaborate quickly but minimally.)

Cool story! I haven't played enough to get that much of the story going. Still getting to know everyone one.

Played only 2 houses so far, Keller and Constance. Keller is hard on the case and other things. Also, people are wondering how Constance has come into a lot of money (no money cheats used, just using what the game gave me).

Loving the neighborhood, Great job!!!

What women could qualify as the killer?

Mxtty, if you're using the game camera, they're not disappearing. You're just not looking in the right place. They'll be in the Storytelling folder inside the Neighborhood folder for Bayside Flats, named according to the protocol: Snapshot_randomhouseholdIDNo_randompicIDNo.jpg. For ease of finding what you want from outside the game, change the view to thumbnails or Icons or whatever gives you little images, and arrange in order of date modified.

Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

It might be, Or could it be someone you don't expect. What if it was Aileen or Cassidy murphy? Or one of the children that have grown into their latter teen years?
So many options, so many secrets I still have to reveal!
So far a lot of things have happened in my hood that I gotta update with but I'll give it a few more days to get especially descriptive.

Speaking of which. Almost every 'CHILD' in the neighborhood has grown into a teenager. Only 1 teen became an adult, which is Cassidy, which was 5 seconds ago.

I can't wait to read more. :lovestruc

It can't be one of the Murphy girls, as Aisha is their mom and even if a child does 'bad' things, a mom would never report her own child to the police. So I still think it's Fiona. Or was it Rose? Did she dye her hair to black?
But why should Fiona kill her own husband?

It's confusing and I can't wait to find out who the murderer is.
