New Update! (Im fast ain't I?)

After a bit more playtime I was able to make minimal gains as most of my time was monitoring school budgets and planning for new neighborhoods that might be or might not be in this update (seriously I have no idea as I dont keep track of how many shots I took and where.

This is a new pedestrian mall near the freeway. This new pedestrian mall includes hip new stores such as Pottery Barn, Knives! Knives! Knives!, Everything but Water, The Jesus Store, and coming soon a Hooters! (seriously)

A neighborhood along the Dutch Cliffs (see last post) although near the Dutch Cliffs this neighborhood is known as Joulelle. The name comes from a woman who grew up here and became a famous doctor in a neighboring region. Despite appearing impoverished this neighborhoods is wealthy but is inhabitied by a Sims that are in sect of Simeism (sim-MAY-ism) that encourages thrift and modesty.

Remember those 4 houses earlier? Well the familes had to sell around 1923 because of local depression in which many people lost their jobs to the huge influx of Chinsims(Chinesesims) who worked for low pay. Soon the wealthy factory managers (the got wealthy as they had to pay the chinsims less) found this little out look over the Dutch Cliffs and bought it up and built these new homes. Well what happened to the other sims? 2 families moved to the western side of the Stagg River and started a farm. The name? Jez-Knight Acres. One of the other familes moved into the slums where they slowly faded into obscurity. Another got a job at a distant insurance firm but moved back around 1942 when they started their own insurance agency. The name? Vu.
