Welcome to Simbia, once a vacation paradise for the Grand Llama and his Councill of Ellders, now a penal colony where the land is poisoned and every sim who's ever stepped foot on it is doomed. Exciting, right?
For more info on the BaCC spin that will keep your population count at a lolnope for generations to come*, please check out the premise and ruleset by our very own MichelleCYoung.
*YMMV. I prefer storytelling over speed.
**This one took ages to format and it still looks wonky on mobile. Please do not read it on mobile.

EEEEEEEEEEE! Bouncy! Bouncy! Bouncy!
I'm so excited to see this! Yaaaay! Also the next chapter is up! Yaaaay!
I know you didn't name your founder after me, but I still get a giggle every time I see it. I'm so mature.
It does seem like such slow population growth, but look! You're in teh double digits! People are growing, moving in, gearing up for a new generation. It's good. It's growing. And with a few more businesses, the multiplier will be enough to push immunity up a level, too. Speed is great, but slowness is good for more storytelling.
I am LOVING what you're doing with this!

theoddcatlady: I'm so glad to see people enjoy both of my narration types I can't guarantee a date for the next upsate but it is a lot of fun to play.
Michelle: I actually used the game's name list for those names
Yes, I'll be able to push the multiplier up pretty soon, but remember that the next rotation will see FOUR deaths

Holy cow! This is amazing!

I can't believe the Garths got wiped out so soon. And poor Regina, I was looking forward to seeing who she paired up with. Eek, who's going to die next? I'm at the edge of my seat

I know right! I guess it's genetical I wish I knew who'd die next, but I don't roll in advance. Thanks for reading!

New chapter out! I know I said that there would be four deaths this time, but my math had failed me. It seems I need to pass the threshold of 13 eligible sims before that can happen, and there are still some playables within their two-week grace. Though not for long

Yes, an update!
Still looking really good! Your BaCC is so different, and your lots are so wonderfully grim and miserable (that doesn't sound like a compliment, but it is meant as one, I promise!). As for the Deli, you could also sell that painting of a grilled cheese sandwich on a fork? Or plates.

Chapter 5:
Spoiler:
I totally want to see that "Oedipal" marriage! And the outtakes! OMG, I laughed so much at the outtakes! A lucky omen, indeed! And the poor, lonely servo.
You're really building this place up. The businesses are booming.
I love the fishing dock, and yeah, with the dock and boat, it doesn't seem cheaty to me.
Ummm, did I miss you asking me a question? I'm so sorry. Yeah, what you did works fine.
I love how you're setting up marriages with the women they like the least. BWAAHAHAHAAA! I am such a Meanie McMeanerpants, but I love it.
Suggestions on stuff to sell to fit the deli/art gallery theme? Well, I'd say any fruit-basket decor, or food-inspired artwork. Still life of fruit basket, for example. And if you can download some decorative objects, such as a basket of bread, or a wheel of cheese, that would be great, too. Decorative plates and the like of course, and I think you have to actually paint the grilled cheese paintings, but you might be able to download a modded version that you can buy? Another thing to consider is that soup goes really well with sandwiches, so pots and bowls and cauldrons would fit the theme, as well. If it's not already in the catalog, look up modded decorative objects that center around food-prep. Maybe slabs of meat, or lettuce, tomato, or other veggies. Of course, there are the condiments/spices/food boxes decorations, but they don't quite fit with sandwiches. Still, I'm pretty sure there are sandwichy decor mods out there.
I love this! I wish I hadn't been offline for so long, and so late getting to read it. Again, sorry for missing your question.
I can't guarantee a date for the next upsate but it is a lot of fun to play.
And poor Regina, I was looking forward to seeing who she paired up with. Eek, who's going to die next? I'm at the edge of my seat
