Chapter 3: Fire! Fire!
The city's on fire!!!
We need help! We have no fire stations! Oh man...
So last update, I got yanked away from what I was doing by my adviser, who was panicking. I come outside to see smoke, and drive to the burning houses.
What started this fire anyways?
Citizen 1: Our gas heater, it exploded, and they're all on fire...
Alright, get everyone out of their houses, this fire's going to burn. You, get some buckets, and you get your hose from the house. I want everyone, all of you to help!
Citizen 2: It's overpowering us! Back away!!
The house explodes just as he says that.
Oh (4-letter word)!
There it goes...
It is a scene from hell. The mix of smoke from burnt house and trees fills my nose, children are crying as they watch their house burn with people going back and forth to and from the two pools (look in the above image) in a panicked, desperate attempts to try to stop the fire. The wind causes the fire to jump to the other side of the road...
Citizen 3 (inside house): Hurry up! The fire's coming, get this stuff out! (Child: Mommy my doll!) I got it don't worry!
Half the neighborhood is already gone. Can our collective efforts put out this fire?
Some sims, in sheer panic run to their cars, and some stand with the few things they were able to salvage from their house before the fire got them.
Citizen One: Alright, let that one burn, the fire ain't going to spread...
(Scene from fire, people watch the last house burn down)
The fire destroys the entire street, but the rest of the town is spared.
Thankfully, no one was hurt, and we were able to rebuild:
A gap where for some reason, houses wouldn't build. It is now a place where children like to play games like hide-and seek, and climb the trees!
Good night!
First traffic map of Woodland:
City from above:
-------------Western Expansion-------------
A new road that extends west of the main town...
This new area will soon have houses and farms, and will be dubbed the Western Residential Sector...
Population is currently 875 Sims from this point on, and we're making a small profit, while barely scraping by with money. I wait a few months, then save up for...farms!
We got massive Agricultural demand! It's farmin' time!
Land is cleared for the new farms:
New farms for more food:
Woodland's very first water tower:
Costing only $50 a month and pumping 1900 cu/mo of water. (Funding was cut to $10 for now)
Several stores open up near the tower to make great use of the water:
Industrial Relocation/Expansion
I don't like the industries being so close to the main commercial/residential areas, so it's time to demolish!
----------Northern Industrial Sector----------
The new industrial sector is built north of the main town, away from the main city and with plenty of room to expand!
mmmmmm...Yummy pizzas! I'll take one with pepperoni please!
Yes, fresh from the farm materials taste amazing, their pizza practically slide off the crust
A new block of houses are built to satisfy some of the high low wealth demand:
-----City Beautification-----
Our city's first park:
A nice playground with a community garden:
Another park is built at Central Square, consisting of a tennis court, basketball court, and baseball court. This also includes a new church just north of the park:
Things are now great! We're making nearly $500 a month, population is over 1000 at 1,624, farms are booming, small shops/restaurants are opening and there are more things for the kids to do here!
Next update, we shall visit the neighboring town (Woodland River Town) to pay Mathew a little visit (the guy that stopped the obliteration from last update) and make a few deals
So yep, good times to come...
...And to think that I almost obliterated this town!
