Unlike me.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Norns, though..<\/p>\n<p>I have 25 bouncing baby norns waiting to come out to a new world. I haven&#8217;t made their world yet as I&#8217;ve been bedridden these last few days but I hope I can be ready for them soon.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than fool around too much with a new world, I decided to start with a fresh install. A lot of agents weren&#8217;t working last round and I think this might be a change for the better. I&#8217;ll hopefully wean myself off of using quite so many agents and become a better creature raiser. Honestly, the only agents I intend to use are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Norn Statistics<\/li>\n<li>Medical Monitor<\/li>\n<li>Timer<\/li>\n<li>Selective Force Field<\/li>\n<li>Grendel\/Ettin Egg Switch<\/li>\n<li>Population Control Options<\/li>\n<li>Roamer (just 1)<\/li>\n<li>Bypass Import Cloning*<\/li>\n<li>Offline Option*<\/li>\n<li>Creature Nametags*<\/li>\n<li>Creature History Update*<\/li>\n<li>Required Breeds and Genomes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Quite a short list compared to last time. The ones with the asterisks won&#8217;t actually affect gameplay. Another note, I&#8217;m not using any third-party game fixes either.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway. It was time to set up my ecology again.<\/p>\n<p>This time, I didn&#8217;t want to play with third party plants. That means no Square Roots, Dynamic Blooming Flowers, Garden Box or Magic Beans. A few of the agents I downloaded were specifically to keep some of the ecology alive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/aki\/imgman\/images\/eco13-03-2013-8-04-am.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After some serious trouble getting the game started, I was off. I set up my timer rig to keep the Gnarlers fed, threw a balloon bug into the norn terrarium to keep the trout and kingfisher fed and cleaned up all the gadgets that weren&#8217;t in the medical bay. I also made sure to add some bramboo and tendril seeds to the desert.<\/p>\n<p>Now it was time to check out the plants that came in the breed packs. I passed on popping pappus and awkwood creeper this time. The awkwood always drew creatures into the jungle where they were bound to get sick and I didn&#8217;t need all my creatures sneezing on each other thanks to the popping pappus. Ultimately, I didn&#8217;t see any plants I really liked and injected some Trapdoor Slinkers instead. Toys always seemed to be in short order after all and with 25 bouncing baby norns to look after, it&#8217;ll be hard to keep them entertained on my own.<\/p>\n<p>With the new world established, I closed the game and set it aside til I was really ready to go.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ssb_list_wrapper\"><li class=\"fb2\" style=\"width:135px\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fkezune.com%2Fsim%2F2013%2F03%2F13%2Fstrep-throat%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=false&amp;share=true&amp;width=135&amp;height=21&amp;appId=307091639398582\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden;  width:150px; height:21px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/li><li class=\"twtr\" style=\"width:90px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/2013\/03\/13\/strep-throat\/\">&nbsp;<\/a><script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/li><li class=\"gplus\" style=\"width:68px\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-href=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/2013\/03\/13\/strep-throat\/\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"ssb_pin\" style=\"width:47px\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/li><li class=\"ssb_stum\" style=\"width:75px\"><su:badge layout=\"1\" location=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/2013\/03\/13\/strep-throat\/\"><\/su:badge><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\t\t(function() {\r\n\t\t\tvar li = document.createElement('script'); li.type = 'text\/javascript'; li.async = true;\r\n\t\t\tli.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
