experiments with bridgeport

i just got a bunch of expansion packs from a sweet steam sale. now i have the town of bridgeport! i decided to use some premade sims to learn a bit about how the town worked before sacrificing one of my awesome sims to it.

some observations:

• traveling from the outskirts of town to the town center is a bitch. it takes forever, like seriously.
• apartment living is kind of crappy. not nearly enough space for all my sims' shit, especially in a studio apartment with a couple and their kid.
• having a midlife crisis is stupid. my sim wanted to move a day after she just moved. and she ended up moving into a crappy little apartment cuz it was all she could afford.
• the library has no learning books. i fucking hate that shit.
• the stroller is cool. being able to take a walk is interesting, though my sim didn't go very far.
• gardening is impossible in an apartment. you need grass to garden.
• living in an apartment saved me from a burglar. by the time she got into the elevator and off at my floor, i had already called the cops.
• there are some neat looking new items, but few of them are actually worth the price. but they look cool!
