Corando Story Pack

The Corando Story Pack is a set of uploads to the Sims 4 Gallery, under the username DozerfleetProd, that tie in with content from the 2022 version of Corando's "Don't Lose Hope".

Description
Two different homes related to the book have been made available for download on the Sims 4 Gallery, along with versions of some of the characters. They have not yet received proper releases on the Dozerfleet Labs blog.

Chawla Homestead
The Chawla Homestead is available devoid of any custom content. It's depicted as using Mt. Komorebi as the default world. The lot has the "Geothermal," "Bracing Breezes," and "Homey" traits. It's also challenged in that it's an "Off-the-Grid" house, with "Reduce and Recycle" selected. It was first uploaded to the Gallery on August 16th of 2022, as a standard Residential lot costing §55,145 furnished. It's a 20 x 15-tile lot, with two stories of living space. It features a pond, fruit trees, a chicken shed, a small garden, a soda-making machine, a dew collector, and a bee house on the main lot.

The interior first floor consists of a kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. A small ladder leads to the upstairs level. This level features two bedrooms, a bathroom, and living room / office. The second floor also contains a balcony, with a manual tub for washing clothes, a backup power generator, and coolers. The roof contains a single wind turbine. In spite having a TV and laptop, Darshan and Mahima use candles whenever they can to light their home, or natural lighting. They aim to keep electricity use to a minimum.

Corando's Maine home
The house that Jerry and his band were living in before they fled Maine to start life over in Texas has also been made available on the Gallery. The lot has no special traits, but does have the "Creepy Crawlies" and "Reduce and Recycle" challenges. The lot is 20 x 15 tiles, and goes for about §96,664 fully furnished. Its size is estimated at 178 KB. The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a makeshift "garage". Its first story contains a driveway, a tour trailer off a ways (set there with TwistedMexi's T.O.O.L. mod), a campfire area, a garden, a front porch, and a grill in the back outside. The inside first floor contains a stairway, a bedroom, a bathroom, the garage, a kitchen, a fireplace, and a makeshift dining area.

The second floor contains a hallway, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. The basement includes a bed area, a laundry area, a second living room area, a streaming video recording studio area, and a separate room for audio recording and sound mixing.

Characters for download
Jerry, Jen, Spike, Darshan, Mahima, and Amita are all made available for download via the Gallery. Since they use custom content, the "Includes custom content" flag must be checked in order to find them, with the title "Corando."

Due to their Gallery-derivative nature, Daruka, Prateem, and Reza are not available for download.

Ruby, Kasey, Adriv, and Martin were all created after-the-fact via gameplay, and have not been released for download. However, all of them are easily manually reproducible.
