I Guess They Weren't Immortal After All

Sad news in today's update, it turns out that Thorid's mutation was one of longevity not immortality, her, Zalona and George all passed today, Zalona first at just over 23 hours.


Thorid next, having reached 32, and finally George who I was not able to get a picture of, also just past 20.
None of the three's children that they had with them in the Terrarium seem to have inherited their long lives, but I did find one of Thorid's grandsons still in the the Meso.


As well as the exceptionally long life he's had 23 children born (likely there's more to come, there are eggs littered around everywhere!), so I made the decision to export him. I plan on re-importing him either to this world when this run is over, or to start a new side world with my mutants.
I know he's long lived, so there's a chance he can pass that on, but also I know he's an excellent breeder, and that's a good trait if I'm trying to breed from another female Norn with a mutation.


Speak of the devil though... No sooner had I exported Xaver but this little Norn hatched, now take a close look at her legs!
She has brown legs, they actually appear to be Bruin Norn legs, but I am positive I've only had Bengals in this run. 
Pretty fascinating, and FINALLY a visible mutation!

Had a bit of a crash on my laptop so it's away being repaired for the next week, while that's all going on I've fired up an old laptop and thought I'd have fun with a different Norn breed. On this one I'm breeding the ever so cute, Zebra Norns. I guess I have a thing for stripes.

Bringing It All Back Home

I've not had a whole lot to tell of late, I've managed to get stable populations of the Bruingal mutants, the Grengals (whose females are all a nice purple), and both colour variations (Rose and Berry Bengals), although with the latter I've still not been able to get the colour mutations to pass on to any males. I've kept copies of a few purebreds of each mutation in a separate file, I might upload them somewhere at some point if I ever get any readers! I do have an absolutely huge list of exported Norns now though, so I am gradually reintroducing them to the main population over in Hella to see what the next evolutionary step is!

How This All Began

So I'm about to get very nerdy and wax lyrical over an old game series I loved as a kid and am now reobsessing over almost 20 years later. So way before I played any of The Sims games, I got a copy of Creatures 2 (the Cyberlife game, not the other one of the same name from the early 90's), it was a pretty fun game where you had to look after a gaggle of cute creatures called Norns, you started out with some eggs, you hatched them and when said Norns were about 30 minutes old, provided you'd made sure they got enough food, or had the gene that made them walk up against a wall and never turn around again causing them to constantly complain about boredom and hunger until they died, they'd be capable of breeding and then laying their own eggs, and the next generation of Norns would pick up some traits of their parents and there was a small chance of a gene mutation that could cause positive or negative effects, so for positive effects one of my favourites was colour mutat...
