Treehugger Trade

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Whoo it’s been getting hotter and hotter and I’m really suffering from all this warmth. While playing Creatures doesn’t keep my cool (the computer warms the room ever so minutely) it does help me keep distracted but lately I’ve just been unable to drum up the energy to get up and go to the PC, especially after cleaning and starting my new workout regiment.

I sent him two norns after he sent me my two and out of the .zip I got two educated Generation 1 Treehugger Norns. At this point, they were both about 29 or 30 minutes old.

They seemed to be doing well in the Meso but I decided to add Terra: Reborn and even set up a rose bush to grow in the Spring. Things were going great and the norns ate happily. There was doom lurking around the corner, though.

The two grendels didn’t seem to know that they could leave via the door up top so I headed back to Terra.

I found the two Treehuggers huddled around the heater I placed after they complained about the cold. They had toys all around them and the rose bush was in bloom. There was a lull in activity from the norns so I opted to check on the Grendels. I found that soon our little lull might be interrupted.

Mime Norns – A Quick Look

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

It’s been an absolute nightmare dealing with realty BUT I still have Creatures to look forward to at the end of the day. That said, Haven asked me to take a look at her breed to make sure it works and to share my findings. I’ve already asked her if I could post them to my blog so here goes!

I’m using the latest version that was sent to me (Titled New) and I get an error when I click on the Mime Norns in Advanced Muco.

I clicked Continue and got myself a male and female egg. Out popped these two. Immediately, I took them to the Holistic Learning Machine to teach them words and so far, they don’t seem very different from other norns. They express when they need things, eat and play when they feel the need to and even seem to rest on their own. So far, the only real difference is that they look scared or surprised when they’re happy.

Once they seemed tended to, I put the two together in the bottom level of the Meso. They seemed easily crowded and unless they were approaching the same thing, they seemed to want to avoid each other. Then, I asked them to express and they were off chattering, like all norns would be. With a Haunter toy and lots of food they were very easy to care for.

Other than the issue with the missing Glyph file, the file seems to work.

Teenage PearlMaids

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I thought it would be fun to break form for a little while and put each of the Pearlmaids through the classic IQ test. I locked and unlocked the doors accordingly and set them all in the bottom of the Docking Station Workshop.

Peter soon followed, then Bonrou, both of whom had become adults in the hallway. Trevor was next but got preoccupied looking at a door and Finny, now an adult, was at the bottom of the Workshop, pushing the norn puppet. I asked Finny ‘what’ and he seemed to snap out of his trance and head  for the elevator. While I waited for Finny and Trevor to catch up, I moved the other 3 adults into Aquanornia.

It wasn’t long before Bonrou fathered three of Bibian’s children and, though she barely made it, she managed to lay all three eggs on land.

I had less good news for Finny and Trevor, though. Finny couldn’t seem to stop ‘approach elevator’ and Trevor seemed obsessed with the door. Finally, after Finny made it into the hall, Trevor did what started to seem impossible and made it through the door. With the death music getting ready to play, I started to fear the worst. Now all there was left was Finny.

He seemed to follow Trevor but passed anyway. Now, it was a matter of keeping everyone alive in this migration world.

Mermaids – Growing Up

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

It wasn’t long after I re-imported all of our 20 minute old babies til they were all yappy, excited Adolescents. Finny had a temporary lapse into EES but a few slaps on the butt soon had him sorted out. Pepter complained of loneliness and spent  his time riding the elevator up and down. It was a little frustrating to watch.

On the bottom level, Bibian, Trevor and Bonrou all complained of sleepiness. I recommended they all rest and soon all but Trevor were sleeping. It was quite the sight. Also, Bibian seems to have boy feet! I’m sure I just need to download an update or something, though.

I let the little ones grow up and then, at 42 minutes old, Peter and Bibian became pregnant. It was at this point that I realized I’d forgotten to change the multiple birth chance settings. I moved Bibian to the top water level of Aquanornia to give her a fair chance and waited for her to lay her single egg. She successfully laid it on land so it was put away and I sent her back to the Terrarium until her tail grew in. They could all walk and breathe underwater but I felt I still had to follow the rules. They would have limitless, abundant food until they reached full adulthood.

Soon, Bibian was pregnant again and layed her egg on land. This one was saved as well and I could already tell I had a long round ahead of me.
