Crumpleton: Oh You Silly Things

I'm afraid I don't have a real story blog today but I figured I'd do a little update with my in-game shenanigans. I've been finishing off the task of restocking Meadow's Grocery so my sims don't starve on the next round, and I thought I'd explain how I get Daric to supply the produce and …

Crumpleton: Meadow’s Grocery

My sims needed somewhere to buy their groceries and my current grocery shop was a little... blah! So I switched to one of my favourite pre-mades who I use to test all my gardening/food related mods, Meadow Carpenter Rhodes! I don't quite know how Meadow became my gardening guinea pig, but I've grown quite attached …

Crumpleton: Green Leaf Tea

Only a little update today. I was playing with Daric a little more, trying to grow his vegetables, but the game was against me and the ground was covered in frost! XD Anyway, Daric woke up wondering if there was really a dragon in his house or if he had been dreaming. He was still …

Crumpleton: Nature Most Unnatural

I'm trying to set up my town to be self-sufficient. I've installed Ani's No Shopping from Fridge mod so that meals will only be available if the sim has the ingredients stocked in the fridge. If the sim does not have the ingredients they have to go and buy them. However, I want to avoid …

Crumpleton: A Few Loose Ends

It was an eventful morning for the Vanderburgs. In the wee small hours of the morning a burglar crept up to the house, but she had made a big mistake! Choosing to steal from a home inhabited by a police officer and judge is never a good idea! Sabastian was woken by the suspicious noises …

Crumpleton: A Close Encounter

The next morning, Ella nervously made jam sandwiches for breakfast, se would have to ask for money to buy more ingredients and look up a few recipes soon, she couldn't keep making jam sandwiches for long! (Note: the combination of Ella's low cooking skill and Ani's No Shopping From Fridge mod mean there are not …

Crumpleton: Cinderelli Cinderelli

Poor Renauld, he was pleased his wife Catarina had busied herself with her work but she was so distracted that she wasn't doing as much around the house as she normally would. Now, Renauld wasn't sexist enough to think housework was a woman's responsibility... he was just not very good at picking up the pieces. …

Crumpleton: Library Funding

Catarina Vanderburg is the town's community development officer: she works for the town hall and controls the community development fund. Today she is holding a public meeting to discuss whether the library needs any improvements. A quick phone call to the head librarian Beatrice Crumplebottom to check she would attend the meeting, and Catarina hopped …

Crumpleton: A Day with the Vanderburgs

The Vanderburg family are townies in Crumpleton, meaning they are not a family I play rotationally. Once I added my own families to the small town, I picked some of my favourite pre-mades to fill up the empty homes and job vacancies. I play slowly, so I'm still setting up the town and decided I …
