Preparing for the fantasy save file update ...

Good afternoon, everyone!

I'm preparing to update the save file for San Sequioa and Chestnut Ridge this weekend and as usual it will be very overwhelming as we explode with new gameplay ideas and storylines to explore. That's why I've prepared small introductions and I will do it in little burst, such as these to assist you!

New Moon Spirit & Elementals Storylines:

Meet Ruby Moontides, a moonspirit and elemental residing in Chestnut Ridge. Ruby wants to live close to nature and form strong bonds with the animals she surrounds herself with. Her favourite past time is riding her horse, Brushfire and swimming in the enchanted brooks and streams of the world.

Gameplay ideas & some cc suggestions:

1. Ruby is a romantic sim - perhaps a star crossed love story between her and a rival werewolf club or shared interests with other moon bathing or star watching sims.

2. Club gameplay: Become friendly or rival club leader for the Moon Children Club. Be rivals or friendlies to the Onsen Dragons & Werewolf clans. Club activities might include swimming, camping, swiping objects, conservation, collections and star gazing (using telescope). Banned activities might include (not) fraternizing with rival clubs to assist with "love" story telling.

3. Veterinarian gameplay: play Ruby as a veterinarian and animal lover. Mod to craft vet treats for horses here. Dragon cc: April Fantazine . Griffin cc for small & large dogs. You can also keep Hippogriffs (with horse ranch gameplay, just aesthetic). Of course, being close to the land and animals in general, you can play vanilla with Cats & Dogs, Cottage Living and Horse Ranch gameplay too.

4. Complete the Horse Riding aspiration and become a championship rider

Meet Saphire Dreamtides. Yes, her name was a typo that mistake now follows her around. Saphire is a mischievous little moon spirit, and like many moon spirits she is a collector and has the kleptomaniac trait. She will be in the "Other households" category of the updated save file, but you can choose to place her and include her in club gameplay. Play for club / Get Together, "Chief of Mischief" and notoriety gameplay. You can also give her the moon child trait.

More updates on characters and storylines coming soon!
