Welcome to Purgatory

“The Archos Facility for Research and Rehabilitation was established to cure those afflicted with the 87O-A Virus. Regarded as a shift in human evolution by a minority of scientists, the 87O-A Virus spread to a small number of humans with the genetic predisposition that rendered them ‘vulnerable’.

Faced with the growing threat of World War III, the world’s psyche was unprepared for the bombardment the Virus caused. Many of the infected went insane; others become power hungry, using the virus to seize what they now believed was rightfully theirs. As such many were wiped out long before The Archos Facility was founded. The remaining infected were gathered to the facility in hopes testing could help the virus be purged from their systems. Some went willingly while others were forcibly seized from their homes. Still, others were simply ‘disposed of’. All in hopes of ridding the world of what was quickly becoming known by the more common term of magic.
After two years, no cure has been found and new cases of the 87O-A virus are coming to the surface. What exactly are the heads of The Archos Facility doing? Government funding is pouring in along with private funding. But new cases are springing up at an alarming rate.

The Infected, while seemingly treated well, are far from the best circumstances. Living in the compound that is the facility, they are confined to their small rooms for most of the day. Limited to a few small hours in the rec room and yard.
The innocent are mixed with the crazed, with no thought to the safety of those ‘in the care of the facility’. Of course, there is the matter that each is a weapon on their own. Magic is strictly prohibited in view of the guards. However, there are places the guards don’t bother to check and everyone has been known to accept bribes…

Many have never known some of the daily comforts the Facility provides - Living in countries that are fast approaching a Third World status. Coupled with the ever present dangers from the fellow Infected and the more terrifying time spent with their ‘Doctors’, the Facility floats between two extremes.

‘The Archos Facility for Research and Rehabilitation’ became simply ‘The Purgatory’.”

Well this is the first post, so I suppose I should be doing the whole "Hi, here's who I am" bullshit. But those things tend to annoy me to type out. Instead, I'll just tell you what you can expect from this particular Sims blog.

When I first started modding, I took several of my RPG characters, fixed them in Sims and turned them into my 'models'. Of course, I could do much more than lips and even those didn't look so well. In the end, none of it was shared until I managed something that didn't look like a goat shat it out then ate it again.

If you have ever RPed, then you can see the issue here. You have characters you know so well, running around a game, interacting with each other and making your brain go, "This is how this one would react. This one would be like..." and ect. It was already a brain implosion waiting to happen. And then I decided to use the name "Purgatory Sims". This is where it all goes downhill.
I don't know if it's common to build a lot simply for taking screenshots, but this is what I did. Of course, it was terrible and after a while I felt the need to rebuild it. We named it Purgatory as that made the most sense.

Purgatory spawned. It became something else. It grew, became more details and eventually become The Purgatory. A compound surrounded in barbed-wire topped fences and shot full of bullet holes. The characters became more detailed - Fleshed out an improved. Both in a character way and in a digital way. Characters that never existed in a world together got worked into each others story lines and POOF.
Suddenly we have a new world on our hands.

Basically, that's it. This blog will be to host The Purgatory and the stories it spawns as it continues to grow.
Eventually, more character will be added and, if everything goes to plan, an RPG will be built around it.

Then again, nothing ever goes according to plan.
