Awesomeland: Should Awesomeland Be Reloaded?

[J. M. Pescado]

So, I find myself more and more stuck in a rut as of late. My neighborhood, which, incidentally, I've been playing since TS2 first came out, and has been patched together with hundreds of layers of duct tape, where a lesser individual's neighborhood would long since have become a , has been getting rather stale and stuck in a rut as of late. Combined with major life changes to be due upon by return from South Africa, I'm thinking it MIGHT be time for something New at last. Like torturing a fresh Kewhale. Naturally, this would result in the loss of all present Awesomeland material. And I would have to start Adventures in Awesomeland all over, fresh and stufflike, like, say "Awesomeland Reloaded". It's a major decision. So I shall solicit the opinions of you feeble mortals, just this once.

What should I do?

[mildlydisguised]

I voted yes.  Providing you continue to document Awesomeland Reloaded.

After all, a change is as good as a rest

[J. M. Pescado]

Certain things will be kept, of course. Like Emma and Goopy. Even though all the other townies may no longer exist as a result, Emma and Goopy. True love forever.

[Hecubus]

Explode and reload. Even God needs a reboot now and then (see: flood).

Gives you a chance to torture us in all new ways. 

[ElfPuddle]

Yes, you should. If you're asking the mortals, then you want to do it and are looking for an excuse.

(Besides, everyone should restart from scratch at least once. It's "fun".)

[KellyQ]

I agree with ElfPuddle; if you are asking you must want to do it. I just might have to do a sim me so I can be tortured added to your new 'hood.

[Kyna]

Naturally, this would result in the loss of all present Awesomeland material.

Why?

Why not do both? You could save or back up Awesomeland to revisit at some time in the future, and have Awesomeland Reloaded.

[Zazazu]

You've been playing the same neighborhood since it first came out? How.....Ok. I'm on my 8th or 9th custom hood since then, and the Maxis defaults have been trashed and reloaded several times.

Explode it, but go on a mass killing spree beforehand and post pictures.

[Emma]

* Emma moons Pescado

I voted yes. All Pescados Suck.

Well, I intend to back it up for scavenging, but THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

[Brynne]

Will there be a peeing Brynne in this one?

[nekonoai]

blow it up! and then add me for maximum torture.

[JennyJenny]

I think I just cried a little, when Pes asked our opinion, almost made him seem human.

I say 'splode, by the way.

[Emma]

I know. I'm scared too......

[syberspunk]

Reload!  Just like the Matrix.  In an endless loop.  Only this time, add new characters.  Like me! lol

I have a request too, I wanna be a beefed up (i.e. "strong") but fat zombie wot rules the zombie horde and initiates the zombie apocalypse.

You should call it Awesomeland: Reloaded - 28 Seasons Later

Or something like that.  Heh.  After the bomb a 'splodes, the main neighborhood should be covered by nuclear winter for 28 seasons.  The remaining survivors, living bunkers, must band together against the zombie horde.  Yeah... I think that would make it More Aweome Than Awesomeland.

I think you should nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Also, if you're thinking of a name tweak, might I suggest you prepare to get your nuts smashed, by Awesometown!

Blow the smithereens out of it!!!  Enjoy it!  Be wicked.  You know you want to.

Wow...  I can't believe your neighborhood has lasted that long.  Says a great deal for all your hard work, not to mention patience for the duration.  There's a lot to be said for a long attention span  ;o ) .

Well, if winds of change are in the air for you, I wish you the best and a grand trip.  Sounds like you could use it about now.  Since you'll be in the Southern Hemisphere anyway, why don't ya drop on by for a cuppa and a romp in the upper paddock with the roos and the rest of us loonies  ;o P  *ducks and covers now.

Have fun  

*modified because my typed smilie solicits the wrong animated one.  Old habits die hard.  Dang, I hate when that happens.

[reggikko]

Asplode! Asplode! And this time, give me better clothes, dammit. 

[sewinglady]

I'm new here... and I do indeed have to bow to your awesomeness... you've kept the same neighborhood going since you installed the game?

I get weepy every time I think about the neighborhoods I had to zorch on account of mass errors...

Sometimes I try to recreate my favorite sims from them, but they are never quite the same.

That said, sometimes you just need to start fresh.  So I say, why not blow it up and start over?

[akatonbo]

Hm, I wonder if I should upload a self-Sim. There's even a Maxis hair that approximates the current state of mine (the Hilary Duff hair, go figure), although the hair I'm actually USING is a Peggy one that's more like what my hair will look like 6 inches of growth from now.

[KatEnigma]

I'm always asploding my hoods and starting over. I do it so often that when I build a house I like, I bin it before moving in Sims, just so I'll have the clean copy it in the next hood. My Sims have a very fickle Oversoul.

Asking the peons for advice?  Completely out of character.

I think someone is impersonating Pescado and has taken over his computer for evil purposes.

Reveal yourself, you scofflaw!

[BastDawn]

Take out the old one Zombie-Apocalypse style!  I'll make a great last story before you start your new neighborhood.

Actually, if you look at Pescado's last few posts, his grammar/writing style has changed significantly. Very suspicious.

[Ambular]

I vote asplodie, especially if it means I get my Sim Amber with Savagely Beatable Action.  And if we'll then get to see misbegotten halfbreeds that can be beaten and pee themselves until their heads explode...
