San Sequoia: Dr Frank's school for gifted children

Whenever we remake a world, I try to think of the new gameplay that was added and how we would like to integrate it into the save file, but also have a chance to "play through" an expansion or gamepack while playing the save in that world. I think it's obvious how I did that for Horse Ranch and Chestnut Station (with integration in Cats & Dogs gameplay and Cottage Living). As some of you might know, I initially wanted to make a "Space Western" type world for all alien races, in particular aliens (from Star Wars: Journey to Batuu gamepack), since we're unable to use these aliens inside the Batuu world (ridiculous). But, ultimately, I wanted to give people an opportunity to "play through" Horse Ranch and practice nectar making etc. Chestnut Station has to be about the horses (and hippogriffs).

So too, I wanted to make sure we could have opportunities to play through dynamics, families and "growing up" in San Sequoia. There's a lot of vanilla and no custom content gameplay for supers: Get to work (science and detective careers), secret agent career tracks, hacking and computer skill, Get Famous (reputation & fame), the list goes on for how you can integrate existing gameplay into playing a "super".  Mad scientist can also make clones or robots for Discover University gameplay ... I could go all day!

Don't forget that clubs can be set to "fight" against their rival clubs eg a supervillain club or the existing "Evil Overlords" club.

If you use the club system to control households or clubs you don't play currently (as I most often do), you will know that a "rival club" will highly likely spawn at their club hangout if you visit with your club or they will also spawn at yours. To set up a rival club select "social interactions" that reflect the animosity (be mean, fight etc) or in "banned activities" forbid being friendly to them etc.

If you're so inclined, you can aslo check out this "Superhero mod" by Sacrifialmods.

Meet successful doctor Professor Frank Marin: scientist extraordinaire and philanthropist patron of the arts in San Sequoia, where he lives in his expensive mansion and gets invited to all the best parties. See him around the city, working out and jogging, training for his next Outdoor Retreat. Made for Get To Work gameplay and raising "supers" teenagers in San Sequoia. Who will you add to his "School for the gifted".

Dr Frank assembles a group with perhaps a bigger purpose! "Captain Clumsy", a clumsy teenager ... wants to be the leader of the cheerleading squad. Play her for High School Years gameplay and club gameplay for "supers" and superhero clubs. One of the first students to live as a gifted student with Dr Frank Marin: she's  fierce, she's tough, she's agile ... no wait ... she just fell on her face ... but she's getting up! She's kicking that villain DOWN! It's not easy to be Captain Clumsy; juggling schoolwork, hiding your identitiy from your friends, keeping up with your cheerleading coach's demands, but hey, someone needs to protect our sims from all the mischief makers! Disclaimer: Yes, that is a wig, no it hasn't moved ... we think ...

Meet others in the group: Earl McGowan (Wolverine trope), a teacher with a mysterious past. Or Nyx Riotborn, a teacher with incredible voice powers and Llumia Llama in need of urgent guidance if she is not to be become a supervillain!

If there's someone who understood the assignment, it's DivantheSimmer with this Superhero Family! This is the gameplay we want for our superhero neighbourhood of San Sequoia: Introducing superhero Llama Man and his super family.  After his wife was killed by his sister and arch-nemesis, Lumia Llama, Llama Man has vowed to finally defeat her to the dismay of their mother, Llama Mama. His daughter has pledged to join him in this mission, but his son has decided to follow in Aunt Lumia's footsteps instead ...

Join in more fun! I'm running a SuperheroChall in the gallery at the moment. Patrons should feel free to get involved, read the challenge rules (in the description of my gallery creation) and upload any and all heroes and supervillains to the tag! Thanks to everyone who keeps the save file and the hashtags alive for shared fun and collaboration!

So many amazing creators joined in to make our San Sequoia a super special neighbourhood: thank you so much to Jazmilia, Patsy304 (exploded onto the fantasy save file hashtag and scene), Yagatha (this update is FULL of her amazing creations), InvaderTee for their super villain "Blue Viper" (secret agent gameplay) and, of course, my consistent and amazing friend, DivanTheSimmer. TheLonnykins also deserves a special shoutout (with Yagatha) who are filling up our "simshareproject" hashtag and whose creations were used in this update to the save! More details about "sim share" and Carl's SSFT mod in the August Fantazine.  This thank you is not an exhaustive list and I still have many to thank!
