#simdaisies notes

- I tried to keep things as simple as I can. It would be tempting to go into every lot with the TOOL mod, and go nuts but it would go against my basic philosophy of this world to build something that can be built upon by the player (which who am I kidding, it will probably be just me at this point :D ) So in that sense I just wanted things to look good, be maxis match and player friendly. It was more important for me to build lots that worked well in gameplay and that others can easily customize for their own games.

- in the sense above, I really, really tried to limit the packs I used. In the end, I used all the gamepacks and all the expansion packs. There are a few stuff packs which I consider absolutely necessary such as Vintage Glamour, Perfect Patio and Bowling Night, among others. I think ultimately I just wanted to have fun and be creative and I didn't want to limit myself too much.

- I don't think I'll be adding any more Sims to this world than there already is. I will be "touching up" the existing premade Sims and maybe moving a few homeless NPCs to their homes, such as Brytani Cho and the other celebs in Del Sol Valley.

- I won't be updating Henford-on-Bagley and Mt. Komorebi. I'm considering not updating Evergreen Harbor even though I really want to. I purposefully had not bought any new DLCs after Cottage Living because I wanted to concentrate on this save file and the project is big as it is. I may update them in a "version 2" of this project.

- I may call the save file something else. I'm already over "simdaisiesworld" :D

Anyway, my progress is here: https://trello.com/b/ZU0SQGUq/simdaisies-world

Visit the template link above and click "Create board from Template"

Rename your board, and keep cards and template cards and click "Create"

Start with the list on the very left called "WORLDS"

Under every World title card (Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, etc) are cards for every lot in the game

The lot cards naming convention are as follows [neighbourhood name ] - [ lot name ] - [ size ] [ lot type/venue ] (occupants)

Open each card to add your description and comments and rename the lot if you'd like to. If you're using other builds, link the download link in here. You can also use this to keep a list of all of your custom content.

Move cards into the next few lists as you work on each lot

List Descriptions:

Ideas: Add card to this list when you are gathering ideas and inspiration.

Review: If you have an existing build, you can move a card to this list if you need to determine if it will make it to your save file or if you'll have to update it or use a different build

In Progress: Move card to this list when you're building

Play Testing: Move card to this list when you're ready to test the build. You can add a premade checklist of what to test by clicking on "Checklist" in the card and selecting the "Testing Checklist".

Completed: When the build is done, you can move it to this list. You can add a screenshot and use it as a cover, and add a link to the download for your reference or if you plan on making your board public

Port to Save: When you've completed all the builds, you can port them all to a fresh new save file which you can share
