Sims 2 Submitting Problem

Okay, so, I submitted 2 Sims for the Sims 2 a week ago, and they haven't been approved yet. How come it's taking so long? :(

Creating a Banner

So, I finally got enough Kudos to buy a banner for my page!  After buying it, though, I thought that TSR would give us a variety to choose from and customize...you know, like point and click web design.  Nothin' doin' - you're on your own with this one.  But what a great opportunity to learn how to really use one's photo editor!  I think mine came out pretty well, given that it's a first attempt for me.  I've titled my little site "Adventures in Simming", taken after my favorite '80s movie, "Adventures in Babysitting".  This whole thing is truly and adventure for me, because whether I'm in game or learning how to mesh (still working on that one) and create new things, it's all an exciting adventure!

Alien -WIP

Hiya guys, come an' see my newest Sim WIP

Yep-yep, he's an alien inspired in Cameron's navi, and some kind of faeries. He don't have any name nor hystory yet but he'll we when I update him. I'm triying to keep him off of CC even If I usually use lots and lots of it and I think I will succes.

So, I am definefely going to submit here this sim but until then... what do you think 'bout him?

Moving

Hey all! I thought I should stop by and let you know that if you think I've been kind of scarce, I have. I got a new apartment and I'm starting to move stuff. It might take awhile since I work full time and I'm still trying to arrange some time off to hasten my efforts, and I still have all that crap to do at home like laundry and dishes and so forth. It's a drag but it will be so great once I'm settled in at my new place. I'm still taking small breaks to squeeze in some fun time so I don't go completely crazy, but not enough to really sit down and build or get serious about anything.

Just thought I'd give you all the heads up on what's keeping me away. Hopefully it will be over sooner than later.

Dundalk, Ireland

So now, I've created a new Irish neighborhood called Dundalk, Ireland. I'm taking things a lot slower this time. I'm installing custom content little by little and I'm building all of the community lots myself(based on tutorials found on youtube. lol) instead of downloading them. So far I've built a school, an art gallery, a beauty salon, a church and a graveyard. I've also built some homes. I'm pleased with it at this point.

Evil Nanny:L

Oh my gawd!:S Okaaay... So i was playing sims 2 and My family wich i had a baby and my simself! I went to work and because I had no one to look after my baby (Violet) I had to hire her a nanny so I did and then i was ready to leave .. as I left the nanny picked up my baby and took care of it! and then in real life i thought ill wait til i come back from work and ill just quickly run to the toilet for 1 min, And as a come back the nanny is juggling violet! Violet's Needs were low, she was hungry, sleepy, dirty, and was bored.. :L As i came back from work i dismised nanny and when nanny left she took my BABY with her! she actually stole my baby!:'(

My Game is really glitchy.. :l it glitches everytime! and then my game starts to crash! But anyway i miss my baby viliot:(

Tombs

A few of you may be wondering about my prolonged dusky spell. Not to worry. I got bit by the tomb spider and since the first of the year I've thrown all my energy into learning and producing them. I will have some tangeable results by the time our next theme hits the streets in April.

In a sub catagory of lot downloads lies a catagory called tombs, it's been there since around September last and there are 9 submissions in it. After almost three months of working with them I can now understand completely why that is. I wish though that more people would find that extra bit of tenacity to stick with it because there are SO many new possibilities and realms now for the builder to explore than one could ever imagine. This first project of mine, for instance, has found me totally caught up not just in constructing the tomb but building a plausible story line and plot around it. There are other spin off bunny trails too like story telling, machima and sim characters that can all tie into any given tomb project . You can even try a collaberative effort as I'm doing with Fredbrenny, one of our premier story writers.

Whether traditional or digital, how many strategy type games are out there? It's really too difficult to number, isn't it. Well that's the blue ocean that I'm seeing here. The exciting challange in it for me is how to translate some of those concepts into a sim tomb. In this first project I've attempted to put a working sudoku puzzle in the tomb for your sim to work out, just make sure they bring a pencil and grid paper in with them.

If you are a builder, do consider it. The learning curb can be arduous particularly if you are right brain challanged like me, but at the same time I've never felt like I've been in the flow more than ever recently.

If you like to stratagise, seek out a good builder and hook up with them. You will both have a blast I'm telling you!

If you are a simmer who also likes strategy games, well....do stay tuned because all this effort is for you!!

New Poll - Pancake Day

Alrighty then..I've popped a new poll onto my minisite page..got bored looking at the last one..the results of 'Which is your favourite Expansion Pack?' are:-

World Adventures : 45.83%

Ambitions: 25%

Late Night: 54.17%

Base Game Simmers: 16.67%

So I guess most people are happy with Late Night. Is it the vampires? Or perhaps the clubbing to all hours of the morning? :-D

The new poll is about Pancake Day, or whatever it might be called in your part of the world, I know there are plenty of variations out there. It's going to be 8th March this year!!! What!! Why so late?!! I can't wait that long to eat pancakes!!(Although as my boyfriend keeps telling me, I can eat them whenever I like)(That is NOT the point!!) Anyway, can't wait..they are going to be covered in sugar, lemon juice and golden syrup...utterly dripping and oozing..Oh my, I'm salivating! Hang on while I just wipe the drool off my chin...

I've also uploaded another lot which will be out tomorrow and I've uploaded a new set of paintings which hopefully will be approved..

A set from Bridgeport. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of making them, and will make a set from each of the EA worlds. Hopefully they will be better than my previous efforts since the water graphics are better since Late Night and you can get some pretty good colours and effects.

Hope you like them.

Have a great week to come :-)
