Schulmania

[emperordaniel 1,281]

A walkman! Heh.

[Hester 700]

Technology advances mightily! A cool Walkman!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

So, do the felines need that guy walking behind him with that thing whenever they want to listen to the MeowMix theme? Or can they just take the thing themselves? In which case, the name "Walkman" seems inappropriate. I'm just trying to help the marketers out.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

It looks a bit big for a cat to carry by themselves, so it would probably need the man...

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Za Long time no see! Glad to have you back!

emperordaniel At last count, quite a few. It is proving quite popular. And, understandably so.

SimCoug Ya me gusta tambien!

vivapanda It is quite distinctive. I like it. Glad you do too.

Ying Blanc It’s the Clerigos church in Porto, Portugal and on the STEX if you want it.

111222333444 Thanks!

Hester I am glad too. It turned out well.

Mithrik Gracias! Y bienvenido a Schulmania.

Gn_leugim Well, the town is actually supposed to be generic Latin style. It would be cool if there were more Portuguese buildings on the STEX so I could make a themed city.

NMUSpidey Huh oh!

Hester I mean ruh-roh!

Lyhoko Leaci Hehehe… of course more is coming!

emperordaniel Not here! School comes and summer goes; it’s the law.

Lyhoko Leaci And apparently the law in Ohio too!

Gn_leugim I have to think that suits of armor are waaaaaaaaaay uncomfortable. Cool to look at but uncomfortable!

NMUSpidey Tooth pulled? That’s no fun!

Gn_leugim I like Prince Henry the Navigator, myself. A distinctive nickname and a royal who actually did something besides hang out at the palace wearing crowns…

NMUSpidey I think most countries think they’re heading into ruin these days, ours included.

Benedict Thanks. It is a cool church – and unusually long and skinny.

emperordaniel Why the grandiose Schulmania capital, of course!

NMUSpidey Awesome works for me!

Hester Consider it a ‘best of’ update!

emperordaniel

NMUSpidey Schulmania turns six next month. It may indeed be years!

Lyhoko Leaci Not yet…. But visiting aircraft come to our two civilian airports.

Gn_leugim Obrigado!

SimCoug Thanks!

emperordaniel Our R&D teams are hard at work…

Hester Dunno!

NMUSpidey That would be the perfect sound effect!

vivapanda Instagram was a big hit back in the 1800s!

emperordaniel of course!

usfighter15 Nope. But it feeds the prey…

Markus J Thanks! That’s exactly the look I was going for.

vivapanda Awesome! We have plenty of them.

Sgt Pepper Thanks! Glad to have you back!

Lyhoko Leaci Indeed! Thanks for the seeds too

NMUSpidey More is coming!

nathanthemayor Thanks!

SimCoug That’s the Taunton State Hospital by Mattb325. It was split into two lots.

GamerManGT5 Thanks! And welcome to Schulmania!

usfighter15 One needs to practice parallel parking a LOT…

Hester It is on its way…

Gn_leugim The base keeps you safe from attack. QF aims for the unprotected…

emperordaniel Hehehehe!

Hester Now you can listen to The Stray Cats…

NMUSpidey Accessories are sold separately!

Lyhoko Leaci He is sold separately. But batteries ARE included!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Meanwhile, at the Feline Commerce Bank headquarters in downtown Simtropolis, bank officials were given exciting news regarding feline money. The news from the treasury was indeed good. And shipments of the new money shown below start today. The bank tellers were already busy picking out their favorites from the new collection. Do you have a favorite?

[Hester 700]

Those are the coins I think I like best of all the coins minted so far.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I'm gonna use some of those coins to load up on accessories for that walkman!

[simlink 1,098]

Catareina - 50 purrs - is my favourite coin. Nice work with all of them, though!

[SimCoug 5,976]

Mattb - of course! How did I miss that?

I like the Huddleston 1 purr - Maybe I'm in a sailing mood.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

My favorites are the Schulmappalachia 1 purr, Catareina 5 purrs, Catareina 10 purrs (my most favorite), Griffinsborough 25 purrs, Griffinsborough 50 purrs, and Shulmappalachia 1 schulmoneta.

The arms on the Catareina 10 purrs (which I assume to belong to Catareina itself) resemble Sochi's own coat of arms. A lot.

[Schulmanator 5,812]

2 recent stats which I thought were cool:

&

[emperordaniel 1,281]

It'll be cool when it's 444444 views; however, that maaay take a while.

[Gn_leugim 858]

nice coins

Ya, it's true, few typical Portuguese buildings yet.. I have to address that one day ^^

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I'm certainly viewing from my location!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

*C*O*M*I*N*G***S*O*O*N*

to a CJ near you...

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Ooo, I hope it's full of capital-y goodness!

[PhatHead 248]

Wow, wonderful, Winning, Witty, Wondering, World Wide, Welcome, Wirdle

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Looking forward to it for sure.

[GamerManGT5 35]

Wonderful CJ, schulmanator, and I agree with emperordaniel. Your CJ is very popular, and I don't know what I says :kitty:

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I wonder just how many updates can be made out of the region...

[airman15 4,113]

Do the inhabitants of the Capitol write in capital letters?

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Hester I like making them so more will of course come as new towns are made.

NMUSpidey A wise choice. Since accessories are sold separately!

sim_link Consider it a sneak preview of the town, which has not been featured yet.

SimCoug Sailing mood? It’s good weather for that today.

emperordaniel Really? I have to look up Sochi’s. BTW, many of the arms used in Schulmania are of Russian extraction. Actually, Russian and Austro-Hungarian probably dominate the selections, esp. the regional arms.

emperordaniel True! We’re working on it though!

Gn_leugim I’d welcome that!

NMUSpidey As I am from mine.

NMUSpidey Oh, indeed it is!

PhatHead Thirty thousand thrilling thanks!

emperordaniel It is still a work in progress but there is substantial progress.

GamerManGT5 Thanks. And welcome to Schulmania!

Lyhoko Leaci Enough where I have contemplated making it its own CJ instead of part of Schulmania’s current thread. But then that’d be more to keep up with. That being said, I have enough stuff for at least 50 updates just on the capital alone. The first 5 are already written. I have ~600 in game pictures from one district alone (most are not that many). And there are more buildings in what part of the NCR I have already made than in all of Schulmania since its inception.

usfighter15 They have been known to, on occasion.

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Hehehe... I did something in game just because I wanted to annoy the Sims. So see what annoying thing I did next... and YES, you can use your own vehicle on the road this time! (IF YOU DARE!)

[RipRap 4,400]

That road is so bumpy! It makes cats sleepy xDxDxD

Is that... A llama?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

That is a big city... And what might this annoying thing be?

[airman15 4,113]

Oh my, is that Sarah Jessica Parker walking down that road??

[emperordaniel 1,281]

There be a horse on the road!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Just to be annoying...

I was in the mood to bug the Sims. After all, think about how many things they complain about in game - even when things are doing well they complain. So I am giving them something to complain about! So I decide to make a road that could very well have been perfectly straight do a little extra...

Here's the beginning of the annoying road... you will be permitted to drive through the hills with your cars today... just for the fun of it!

Through the hills they go, wiggling along all of the twists and turns... and they seem to like it, oddly enough. You ready to take a ride?

The reward for making it through the twisty road is a view of Schulmania's first overpass!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Wait, WHAT?! Overpasses...and dozens of cars outside of Friendsville...IN SCHULMANIA???

*brain explodes from shock*
