But they’re always on the run,
Always from the sun, [Always from the sun]
But they’re always on the run [from the sun]

Let’s clean Nirvana’s song Polly up a bit, shall we?!
Polly
*Bum bummy strummy strum strum, bum bummy strummy strum strum…*
[guitar fades a little]
Polly wants a crack'er
I think I should let her out first
I think she wants some water,
Then to fly out to the porch
Happy me, "Have a seed"
Let me teach you simlish words
Let me take you out, b‘have yourself
Biting me! Save myself
There’s no hope, s'gettin’ old
Makes me blue, to scold you
Let me take you out, b‘have yourself
Biting me, save myself
*strum strummy bummy bum bum, strum strummy bummy bum bum…*
[guitar playing continues in background]
Polly wants a crack'er
Maybe she would like more food
She needs me to play w/ her
A flight'd be nice for me too
*louder strum strummy bummy bum, strum strummy bummy bum…*
Wasn't me, O-M-G
Who’d teach you such dirty words
Let me take you out, b‘have yourself
Insultin’ me, peed myself
Got some soap, you've been told
Clean'd your cage, use't on you
Let me take you out, b‘have yourself
Insultin’ me, shield myself
*bum bummy bummy bum bum bum...*
Polly squawked… *bum bummy bummy bum bum bum…*
Polly squawked dirty words
She just ap-pall-ed me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me the will of simPETS
Isn't me, trust me please
Let me teach you nicer words
Let me take you out, b‘have yourself
What a ‘mouth’, save myself
End of rope, you've been told
Promise you, I’ll do it too!
Let me take you out, b‘have yourself
Freeing you, Save Myself! *BOOM… string squeak*

It's Reigning Men by Gloria Simnor
Humidity's rising
Barometer's getting low
According to Sims Seasons
Zoo U's the place to go
'Cos for the first time in class
At just about half past ten
For the first time in Test Sim use
You’re gonna see Reigning Men
It's Reigning Men
Hallelujah it's Reigning Men, Amen
I'm gonna stay in
I'm gonna let myself sim
Indulging every whim
It's Reigning Men
Hallelujah it's Reigning Men
Every spec-i-sim
Tall blond dark and mean
Rough and tough and strong and lean
God bless Electronic Arts
The Gurus and all Devs too
They created our heaven
Now we do what we want to do
They taught every player
To reimagine the sky
So that each and every simmer
Could make the perfect guy
[Chorus]
. . . .
I feel deadlines quickly moving in
About to begin
Heed the Teacher
Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and place the bed […Rip off the roof and place the bed]
*Cha chaaa cha chaa, plinky boom plinky boom, Cha chaaaaa…*
"The Difficult Build" by Shimeryl Crow (for ZooProfessor3’s ZooU Course 7)
[Original tune & lyrics by Sheryl Crow]
*Strum, strummy strum twang dwang dwoom strummy strum …*
I think I was wrong
I think you were right
That all my silly plans
Will keep me up at night
And through the next thread post
You still hear me say
Oh, Zooey won't you keep
Teaching me that way
[Chorus]
If you could only see
What class has made of me
Then it’d no longer be in Sim’s world
The difficult Build
Cause I've built mine
‘Splain it to me slow
‘Splain to me with pics
If anyone should know
How to get it fix’d
I swear I can see Zoo
Puttin’ in the drive
And there ain't nothing like regret
To remind you, you should save
[Chorus]
I placed the same lot a thousand times
But never noticed what was ‘flat’
What Zoo'll remember of me in class
Well, it almost makes me mad
Yeah, it almost makes me mad [Ooooh woohoooo, Zoo Uooooh…]
*Screechy screech strum whine,… pluck screech whineywoo zwip* [...take a breather...]
Oh threadbreaking post and pixelated skies
The older I get, the harder I try
Don't you have somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here making a build’r of me
If you could only see
What class has made of me
Then it’d no longer be in Sim’s world
The difficult Build
You just might see the change in me [Ohhhooooohh...]
If you could only see
What class has made of me
Now I'll forever be in your debt
The beautiful Build
You just might see
Yes, you might see
The skill in me
Oh, Zoo, I've learned
Cause Zoo, I've learned *Strummy twang strummmmm*
"Kicked Off Lucky Palms" by Shimeryl Crow
(Original SHERYL CROW lyrics are property and copyright of their owners so we’ll use these instead…)
Sim Life springs etern’l
On a gaudy pixel’d street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my gaming stuck
In a La Matea
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my CPU
And I check the cords
And I see they’re set
I click a sim
And I open the CAS
And I wonder what I'll find…
Chorus
I'm Kicked Off Lucky Palms […casinohhh…]
Screen’s so bright […casinohhh…]
Locked up, Blue Screen
On a Saturday night
Kicked Off Lucky Palms […casinohhh…]
Kicked off for good, for good
I'm kicked off for good
I'm kicked off for good
Used to be I could switch Towns to
Riverview for the night
Find some new family
To manipulate with might
But these days it seems no
‘Puter is new enough for me
So I'm Kicked Off Lucky Palms today
[Chorus]
I'm mousing the middle of the Palms desert
Waiting for my sim to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this Loser sim
And make him win
[Chorus]
I quit my job to play The Sims
At the Lucky Simole’n
Playing blackjack until one or two
Such a glitchy fight between
The things you want
And the things you have to do
[Chorus]
I'm Kicked Off Lucky Palms
And I won't reboot [no, no...]
No, I won't reboot
Not this time
[…casinohhh…boohoo…casinohhh…]

""[Quote: from Empress Pamela's DNA build thread -- peoinee says she found this: ]""___________________________________________How do I set up a Traveler world so it acts like a Vacation world ?
anchor : [[Traveler FAQ#Setup]]
What you need to do is head to "Edit Town", and create a Base Camp lot. You can choose any community lot you wish, by changing the Sub-Type to "Base Camp".
Or, if you already have a Base Camp lot in your library, simply import into your town.
Buzzler has a mod hosted at ModTheSims called the "Build/Buy Restriction Choker", which enables the ability to put residential objects on community lots. This will help you place the fridge and other amenities necessary for a proper Base Camp lot.
After that, you can designate any number of unoccupied residential lots as Vacation Homes, which can be later purchased by your traveling family.
To do so, choose the residential lot in "Edit Town" and change the Lot Sub-Type to "Ownable Lot"
The NEXT time you visit the world, your sims will be placed on the Base Camp, or be given the option to move into a vacation home they own.
