Hmm… how to explain this? Well, I have been trying my damnest to make the current HS work… but I can’t.
Reason being? The house I want is too BIG for a size 5 homestead. Plus the idea for the ‘raised’ porch poorly executed. And, once again I feel trapped. 🙁 Hill over here. Hill over there. Hill behind me with rock tiles. And a hill I made to flatten the HS… I just can’t work with it!
On top of it, when I went to start construction of the house, I forgot I needed nails… and I needed 14 nails. I tried to ask angry for help, but he’s too busy feeding his face to make a forge.
After alittle thought, I had no choice but to use Bennie Bay’s highest QL forge. And after a few stupid mistakes by me(forgetting I needed wood to burn, my flint rock to light the forge, my pickaxe to get iron ore, and my small anvil to make the nails), and still more non-help from angry… my patience burned up like a dragon’s fire, saying to angry “Remind me to NEVER ask you for help again.”, and getting a message from his mom about him not listening to her.
I’m guessing, which I don’t wanna think I caused it, that I made angry too depressed to do anything because of what Spore did to me.
Anyway, I just lost all desire for the game after that. Saw how stupid it was to build a house, how my plan will never work because I think too big, how I felt trapped.. yadda yadda yadda.
Today however, after some thinking, I had an idea to finally make this work. To do what I was going to before, before angry gave me the idea to put it up there. Turn it into my old HS. And what better way than to go to my old HS, draw it in Mapper, buy a new deed, and start construction?
And the name of the new HS… “The Old Homestead”. It’s a perfect name, and I can thank angry for the base idea of “The Hidden Homestead”.
With this, I can build a SMALL 2×3 house, and be happy with the view of the ocean, and not feel trapped! Well, I hope anyway. It’s going to need a ton of dirt to raise up the rest.
As time went on though, I suddenly got depressed again. Probably because I now know I have to raise the ground up by myself, since I am living on my own. But yet I feel I need help.
But why should I? Why have I lost the desire to live on my own? Yet I have no desire to live with anyone.
