UPDATE & REVISION HISTORY
Oct. 26th, 2004
- No updates today. I'm just letting you guys know that I won't be around for
a while, so this guide will be left as is for a little bit, and no e-mails
will be responded to right away. I'll start updating normally come
mid-November.
Oct. 23rd, 2004 (1.5)
- Did the following:
- Started adding "Uniforms" and "Carpool Vehicles" to careers; so far, only
"Athletic" is finished
- Added new "Memories"
- Added new "Chance Cards"
- Added new "Wants"
Oct. 20th, 2004 (1.4)
- I haven't updated recently, partly because I've been doing other things and
partly because I just didn't feel like it. For the next little bit, I'll be
sending updates every three or four days, so if you send me something and
don't a response right away, you will eventually.
Did the following:
- Added new "Wandering Sims/Townies"
- Added new "Memories"
- Added new "Wants"
- Added new "Chance Cards"
Oct. 13th, 2004 (1.3)
- Did the following:
- Finished section "[5] Death & Disaster"
- Finished section "[8] NPCs"
- Reorganized "Wandering Sims/Townies" into groups starting with the letter
of their first name
- Added new "Wandering Sims/Townies"
- Added new info about Lazy Sims
- Added new "Chance Card"
- Added new "Memories"
- Added new "Wants" and "Fears"
- Added new "Bug"
Oct. 11th, 2004 (1.2)
- Did the following:
- Added new "Chance Cards"
- Added new "Memories"
- Added new "Wants"
- Renamed "Wandering Sims" to "Wandering Sims/Townies"
Oct. 8th, 2004 (1.1)

Outgoing/Shy, Active/Lazy, Nice/Grouchy and Playful/Serious Sims do.
- Added more information to "Interests"

for work while meditating

for the heads up)
- Added new "Chance Cards"

Oct. 4th, 2004 (0.9)
- For the next few days, there will be several mini-updates instead of large
ones. Today:
- Added new "Chance Cards"
- Added new "Bug"
- Added new "Question & Answer"
One major thing I did this update was consolidating the "Wants" and "Fears"
into sub-categories. Not only does this make that section more readable,
it allows you to jump to any category you want (like wants that are related
to jobs or money), and it also lets me delete any wants and fears I had
listed more than once.
Oct. 2nd, 2004 (0.8)
- Not much time today, so I only did a little:
- Added new "Memory"
- Added more "Wants" and "Fears"

- All careers, both adult and teen/elder, are now finished. I added a "Quick
Summary" section to careers, which lists JUST the top job, top salary, and
highest amount of friends required; this way, if you don't care about the
details (like carpool time or work week), you can just get the info you need.
The other sections will now be worked on.

still working on things.
Sep. 20th, 2004 (0.1)

thousands of combinations, if you only take the time to adjust and fine tune
everything, from eyebrow style to shape, from hair to eyes, and more. You'll
also find out about neighborhoods, and what makes a Sim a Sim.
