About MeCanada

About Me: The thing I've always loved most about creating content for games - both professionally and as a
hobby - is the ability to create an imaginary world and then see it as if it really existed. I
currently mainly create things that are of interest to me for my own use, such as things to match
already-existing things, or special props I need for my legacy story, the Soup legacy, which can
be found on the Community Challenge forums here at TSR. I'm pretty rabidly in favour of the
"repository technique" - also known as linked or master/slave files - where you make a new mesh
that reuses the textures of an existing mesh. Part of that is due to my downloading addiction,
since it greatly reduces the number of files needed for matching recolours! How download addicted
am I? 32k files and rising steadily...

If I could only have you near ~ to breathe a sigh
or two ~ I would be happy ~ just to hold the hands
I love ~ on this winter's night with you. (Sarah
McLachlan)

I stay to watch you fade away, I dream of you
tonight, tomorrow you'll be gone. It gives me
time to stay, to watch you fade away. I dream of
you tonight, tomorrow you'll be gone. I wish by
God you'd stay. I stay awake, I stay awake and
watch you breathe, I stay awake and watch you
fly, Away into the night, Escaping through a
dream.

Sent a ton of teens from my Legacy 'hood off to
college over the weekend. I was particularly taken
with how great Yumi looks. She was cute as a kid
in my "One Man, Seven Children" site story
(http://www.thesimsresource.com/storytelling/view.
php?id=11241) but as a YA she looks awesome!

One sub-hood of my Legacy 'hood is an
alien-inhabited neighbourhood. I came up with this
breed of dog, the "Galfreyan Hound", to be their
pets. Why, yes, I did grow up watching Dr. Who...
