I seriously hate winter.  Cold and/or moisture & I do NOT get along well AT ALL!!!  So thanks to THIS Season I'm not able to create nearly as much as I'd like to.  I don't have a lap top anymore so when I'm not able to stay sitting at my computer no more bringing my computer to bed with me. :(  But I'll still be diong some stuff here & there.  So when ever I'm able to I'll still make some more lots & pets & walls. :)  If I didn't do ANYTHING I'd go nuts. :P  But if anyone notices that posts get looked at but not answered or answered in fairly short form compared to normal.......things will be back to normal once Spring arrives. :)  Until then if anyone is interested in a body swap let me know.......but I think only a masocistic bolimic would be happy with the trade; I'm in pain 24/7 & often it makes me sick to my stomach......they'd LOVE having MY body. :D  LOL

Oh how I love to create!  I really do love building & making new pets!  OK I'm not that fond of making the packages up......that is not nearly as enjoyable to me as the creating part within the game is.  HOWEVER........I do it because of all the wonderful people who download.  The comments keep me inspired to keep on submitting.  The kudos we get for uploading are a nice way of "payment", but the best payment of all are the wonderful comments I see on my creations.  I got pretty good at making MAXIS look good (yes thats right people "MAXIS can look good") while I was unable to have my game run letalone WITH custom content.  But now even though I am able to have all sorts of cc goodies......I'll still mostly upload in 100% MAXIS ONLY!   I know I could probably get a few more people downloading my lots if I used cc......& I probably will use cc in lots here & there.........but I just think it takes a bit more "imagination" to put together a nice 100% MAXIS lot.  It's just an opinion that it's easier to make lots "sell" with cc than MAXIS.......but I'd rather stick to MAXIS.  My Mom asked if there was any way to "get paid" for making all these lots & pets.......eh not really.  If some day I got to be an SA......OMG that would be SOOO AWESOME!!!  Free TSR membership........BRING IT ON!  BUT as I said before......it's the wonderful comments that keeps me submitting.  If I were doing the building JUST FOR ME.......I'd use what ever cc I like cuz there's no problem using whatever for your own use.  So I guess this is mostly a "thank you" to all of the TSRians who've left me lovely comments & words of encouragement. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

My friend Karen (you guys know her as Karie) made me a birthday cake & made it look like a cake the Sims use to celebrate birthdays with.....AND mine even had a bright green plumbbob on it!

Then the candles were lit.  Wow getting old is brutal.......twice baked cake. LOL

Why me?!?!?  I've got a pretty decent PC as far as parts go & such; my best-friend/roomie/caregiver got me some pretty good parts to upgrade my PC to handle TS2.  TS2 for those who don't know......is pretty much my life (sad as that may sound).  I love building & playing!  I can't play though; after a while of playing I start having the Sims crash on me more & more often.  I can start over in a hood & build til the cows come home.......start playing with the Sims themselves & all of a sudden the game wont run.  I've gone without my precious cc just so I could play again........and apparently it's been for nothing!  I can build with TS2 but TS2 wont let me play with the Sims.  So we put this VERY graphically demanding game into my PC.......darn thing ran just fine!  In fact the sucker looked awesome!  I'm not really into the shoot-em-up kind of games but I don know that if my PC handled THAT like a dream then it shouldn't be my computer's fault.  So BF thinks I may have to think about just going ahead & start playing TS3........rather NOT!  I miss my days of playing........but I didn't want the Sims for wii because they don't look like Sims they look like Mario & Luigi's next door neighbors (aka they look like Mario Bros. to me), & I don't like TS3 Sims either.  So do I just play with TS2, play with TS2 AND suck it up & start the stupid looking TS3 Sims just so I can play WITH Sims?  I just wanted to play with TS2 & maybe get a good portion of my cc back.......was that really so much to ask for?

I still can't have custom content yet. :(  But that doesn't mean that I don't still keep my eye out on what everyone is creating......eventually I'm hoping my computer troubles will be over & my game will run right. ;)  But it isn't any of the creators' fault that I don't download......so why should my inability to have cc mean they don't get a pat on the back for a job well done?  So I'll still keep stopping in & commenting on new cc even though I don't get to enjoy it......it's bad enough the creators miss out on me as a downloader. ;)

Normally the way things go around here is that a few people make THINGS like walls & floors, clothing, things found in build or buy mode with in the game......and then tons of us gobble them up & enjoy them in our games.  Well I can't make anything like that; I don't know how to recolor anything let alone mesh stuff.  I have however been one of the throngs of people/players who downloaded & enjoyed those things that the artistic & talented few among us have created.  Well I'm not saying that I'm some super duper builder......BUT!  I would like to offer to anyone but especially those who have given up so many hrs of time they could have been playing with Sims to make stuff for us; I'd like to make for you for a change.  No I'm not offering this cuz I think I'm some special builder of lots or pets.  I'm just offering the only thing I can aside from my thanks.  And so if there are any arteests out there that have been wanting their pet made for Sims or a lot of some sort.......all you ever need do is ask.

I miss the days when my daughter's hurts were easier to fix.  When she was little & fell down a kiss made it better.  When she got just a bit older & her interests went from dolls to a different kind of "doll"..........for every up there is a down & for every boy who broke her heart there was a mother & daughter chocolate cake baking session to go with.  But how do you help you baby deal with loosing her baby?  She was pregnant.  She lost it a couple days ago & today she called up crying because her milk had come in.  She was 10 wks pregnant & I guess her body didn't know there is no need for any milk.  Yes I can hold her & be there for her.........but I can't make this one go away...........I miss the days when kissing a boo boo or baking a chocolate cake and talking about what a good thing the boy was missing out on still worked.

Why do I upload?  Well lets see........  #1 great way of earning some kudos, #2 I love building lots anyway, #3 if my pets have made even one player heppy......I'M happy.  For now it is all 100% maxis.......& I've learned to think "outside the box" since being dethroned (I was the "Download Diva" until I started having all these computer issues). 

So pretty much I make tons of lots & pets because: it's fun, it earns me kudos, & from time to time I can spread a little bit of joy thoughout TSR......even if it's just cuz people can just move into a nice playable home & not have to bother, or cuz my pets nice & fun to play.
