Time for a break........

Hey Everyone,

Well it's about time for a break from me. Today i uninstalled EVERYTHING Sims related, games, downloads EVERYTHING. My computer has been running horribly lately and i thought it was about time for a clean up and fresh start.

Don't fret though i will be back in time. This time around though i think i will only install Nightlife, Seasons and Bon Voyage. They are really only the EP's that i use and like.

But in the meantime i have a lot of stuff coming out in the next 4 days. So i hope you will enjoy them. Once i have reinstalled i think i am going to play for a bit. I haven't played the actual game for a while and i haven't even explored Bon Voyage yet.

So i shouldn't be long in coming back but enjoy the stuff i have coming out this week and see you guys on the flip side.

Bye for now,
Louise.

What do you think about my recategorized clothing for elders? Vote now!

I've just published my first poll ever, and I'm not at all sure I did it correctly. It looks pretty good, though. :)

I've published quite a few sets of Maxis clothes for adults, recategorized to work with elder Sims. Judging by the download numbers, there are a lot of people out there who think this is a good idea. I'd like to know how many of you agree with me that Maxis really falls down when it comes to elders. Maybe it's because none of their programmers are old enough to appreciate the beauty and dignity of the aging process.

What are your thoughts? Take the poll, and add any additional comments or suggestions here. I'd love to hear from you!

VAN HELSING CHRONICLES-UPDATE

Van Helsing will soon be coming to an end. I am about to start part 8 (the photo taking part)and I am hoping to wrap up all the plot points. I will be away from my computer the whole month of November visiting family, so I will not be uploading the concluding chapters until I return in December. Sorry for that, I pray you all stick with me!!
Part V (five) I am putting the finishing touches on and hope to upload middle of next week. Part VI (six) I hope to have polished off and uploaded at the end of October before I leave. I am still having fun with this, but it does take over your life, LOL!! The characters have taken me in directions I did not intend at first! Raynor was only going to be a secondary character for example...now look, LOL!
I want to take a minute and thank my writing buddies, who encourage me and with their great talent, make me strive to reach greater heights! Beth, Eve, Gayl, Leah, Sandy, Zayury, you girls rock!

And again, let me thank everyone who has left comments, GB entries or PM's regarding my stories...it has given me great pleasure!!
And the detailed wonderful comments I have been getting on Van Helsing has given me a confidence in my writing I have never had before, I thank you all for that...

Also if you love Vampire tales, please check out Saoz tale 'Seasons of Change' in the story telling forums...wonderful!!

Cheers~~ Karen

A real surprise!

I wasn't expecting to be featured today with my Timber Pass lot. A real suprise and thanks so much TSR!

What a mill!

In Poland, when we're really busy and a lot of things is going on around us, we often say: what a mill! This is how I feel. A lot of things to do, limited time for that... And all this Festival of Absurdal Art makes me crazy! I was made a Food Manager and now, apart from plenty of things I have always been doing, like attending language courses and my great subjacts at Uni, I have some fabulous, unsolvable concerns like: how I'm supposed to provide great, tasty, tummy-filling meals for artists, stars, VIPs, jury memebers, basically everyone, during 5 days of festival for just 2000zł (approx. 500 Euro)? The most terrible thing is that I'm so affraid that I fail... everyone in this AEGEE Katowice is so well-organized and active, all the time I hear about their successes with providing this or that... all the time they succeed and have some agreement papers from their sponsors already signed... Only I cannot say that I succeeded this week! Why? What have I done wrong that I cannot proudly announce any success, even a little one, I don't care, like having a 100 packets of crisps for opening lectures? Why? What can I do more than calling all the possible sponsors and receiving dry mails full of spelling mistakes that they are not interested? The point is, that if I don't find any sponsors, I'll have to spend a lot of AEGEE money on food, while I have only 2000 zł from our budget... But wait a sec... maybe it's my mistake that I tell all the time about my not having anything, when they all also have ups and downs, but only say loud about their success when they succeed? Maybe I make mistake showing myself as a week person who can't even provide any food for a festival? And how to change it? I cannot keep silent to cover my lack of anything... An example from a while ago: I try to be helpful while all these mail discussions about details of a fastival, and what I get? A mail with polite, but simple 'shut up, you're making a mess' message. Why again? I try to be helpful! Well, they don't care about my oppinion anyway. I dream of great, long sleep with no Absurd Festival Absurdalia 2007 with its mutant snail as a logo... I seriously consider quitting after this all mess I agreed co-creating... Hmm, the matter of you wanting doing a lot and then only wanting to quit is very interesting thing to think through, I have to find a while to think about that ^_^ Well, that's me - a full time Philosopher ^_^ Take care, Hannah
