It’s simple. All I have to do if I want a mostly lagless experience in Creatures is not watch Youtube videos! I can’t even watch YouTube, close firefox and then watch Creatures because that doesn’t work.
Flash Media Player memory issues aside, I finally got Creatures working properly on my computer and I’m watching YouTube on my iPad instead of on this laptop. At least not on Creatures days.
Anyway, I had to set up the world before I could introduce the babies so I added all of the aquatic Garden Box agents to TWO aquatic metarooms. Pearl Ocean and Aquanornia are the two I’ve chosen. I’ve also added Grendel Man’s fixed Anemones, some crunch beetles, the DS Superfood Vendor, and the C1 to DS Bad Plants to add a little hazard. I’ve left the bacteria intact this time so perhaps things will be more interesting.
I’ve also decorated Aquanornia like I did last time and made food seasonal for the two aquatic rooms. Food would be available in Aquanornia during Spring/Winter and in Pearl Ocean, it would only be available in Summer/Autumn.
Before long, it was time to introduce (and rename) our babies.
First, our little lady Bibian. She is Errol’s daughter. Let it be known that Errol is probably the winner of last round in some weird way. I’ve actually opted to leave her name as it is because it’s kind of cute and easy to remember (and type). She learned some basic lessons and as she did, I added Battista, who I renamed to Peter. She was starting to let lonely. Might as well let her make some friends before she turned 20 minutes old and had to be exported.
Peter here (or Pete) is Pilot’s son. He briefly became Bibian’s slapping doll but a quick scold and they were soon kissing and playing together. I kept asking them to express but if I wasn’t, they were generally very quiet. The kissing and playing continued til Bibian started to say “me like norn”. It was very cute and a sign that I could safely introduce the next baby. Peter kept to sleeping and Bibian developed that annoying push button habit but still.
Next was mutation-free Bonrou, Pilot’s son. I also opted to let him keep his name because it was interesting to me. It took him a little while to push the HLM and he had his two new friends approaching him very quickly to introduce themselves. He seemed more interested in exploring, however. He also complained about tiredness more than the others but he did a good job of keeping himself fed.
Berchthold, son of Pilot, was renamed to Finny. Like Bonrou, his brother, he is without mutations! He has a pretty healthy appetite and seems to fit in well with the other norns. Naturally, this was just the excuse I needed to introduce our next and final baby.
Finally, was Berald whose name I changed to Trevor. He is the son of Errol. After this total, Errol has only two offspring in this round, including the all important female and Pilot has fathered the other three. I’ve decided to tag them respectively.
I let the babies wander, eat mingle and give sound advice til they were each 20 minutes old, at which point I would export them, one at a time. Bibian was just 3 minutes away from export, followed by Peter and the others. Next time, we’ll be re-introducing the babies, all at 20 minutes old to level out the playing field.
