Thank you for your support

Thank you to the three individuals who bookmarked me as an artist, even though I'm not one.  I appreciate your support and wish I knew who you were so I could thank you personally (as opposed to impersonally, through the blog).

As I finish writing about the families in my neighborhood--and I am running out of families, though I still have a few more--I'm not sure what direction I'll take.  I still have to start The Sims 2 (no, I've never played it yet, but I have the Double Deluxe, University Life Collection, Best of Business Collection, and Fun with Pets Collection waiting to be installed).  I also have the pre-made families to go into--yes, I created some stories for them to tie them into my families, but haven't worked with four of them yet (Burbs, Hicks, Goth Sr., and Charming).  I also had planned to go into the other neighborhoods and work on them with different ideas--one neighborhood (except for the pre-made families) with non-human male faces, one completely immersed in magic.

I also still need to fully utilize Magic Town and Studio Town.  I also need to get a couple of Sims into a couple of other careers: right now I have at least one male and one female Sim in every career (Business, Entertainment, Law Enforcement, Criminal, Medical, Military, Science, Sports, Xtreme, Politics, Music, Slacker, Paranormal, Journalism Hacker, Fashion, Animal Care, Culinary, Circus) except Education, and I still need to try someone out in the Fame career track.  Fortunately, in my current neighborhood, I still have space for two more houses to be built, plus one of the original lots that I've been using for adding new Sims into my families, and another where I plan to import the Mashugas to (eventually).  Plus the Newbies still have space to grow.  So, I can still work on Education and Fame, plus I'm guessing I have space in Magic Town for this neighborhood to move in three more families (I think that's right) but we'll see.

I was also thinking of making a neighborhood consisting primarily of families with animal names or varients, like Wolfe, Hawke, Deere, etc.  Or maybe colors (I'd be reusing Green and Brown and White--I haven't introduced them yet--or Black), though that might get a little weird:  families named Cerulean or Lavendar, or some other less-than-common color names.  Maybe vegetable names, too, though that would get weird also...Olive, Carrot, Asparagus, and of course all sorts of problems pronouncing one family either "To-May-To" or "To-Mah-To".  But we'll see.

Anyway, please continue to read my blog entries.  I'd appreciate it if you'd maybe comment now and again, but as long as you keep visiting and reading, I'm happy.  Thanks again!

The Trenton Family

I am particularly fond of the Trenton family for a variety of reasons, but most of those reasons are that this is a family of a lot of "firsts."  I'll try to explain as this entry proceeds.

Danny Trenton moved into Old Town shortly after incorporation.  In fact, he was the first of the new residents to arrive.  He actually had a relative in town already: James Stone, who was living with his boyfriend and his former college roommate and HIS boyfriend.  After Danny purchased and built his home, the other four men moved in for a while: they had been living with one of James Stone's boyfriend Miles' friends and his wife.  Danny welcomed them into his home, and they lived together for a long time--enough for the Trenton family's bank account to rise to over 900,000 Simoleons: with (at the time) three Coaches and one Exorcist bringing in 4000 Simoleons a day and not spending much beyond bills (once they were more or less set, I stopped buying things for them), it really adds up quickly.  Since then, the soon-to-be Stone gentlemen have moved out and taken up residence elsewhere.  Danny remains behind.  He, by the way, was the original Exorcist (though his brother James and his boyfriend Miles have since become Exorcists as well).

During his brother's stay, Danny adopted two of the local Strays, Aristotle and Cali.  After a while, they mated and produced one kitten, who grew up to look just like Aristotle.  His name (I assume it's a "he") is Calistoga.  These, by the way, constitute two more firsts: the first pet(s) to be adopted, and the first pet to be bred.

At one point while his brother was living with him, Danny threw a party.  He really hit it off with one of the Townies who dropped in, Joseph, who was in the Journalism field.  After spending some time in the Heart-shaped Hot Tub (first one I bought for any of my families), the two started seeing each other (i.e., Danny invited him over quite often).  After a little while, Joseph moved in (becoming the first Townie to be moved in to my families...unfortunately, he only had two Townie friends...sigh).  After a little while, Joseph switched jobs to become an Exorcist like Danny.

For a little while Rachel Generic lived with them, before moving out to live with the Generics.  While she was with them, though, they moved house to a new lot.  After a bit of fussing and fudging, Danny and Joseph and the cats moved again, this time into the older neighborhood.  There they bought one of the original houses and remodeled it to suit their needs.

Around this time Joseph's sister Penny was looking for a place to stay, and Joseph invited her to move in.  Shortly after that, Penny's girlfriend Virginia moved in too.  Penny, like her brother, went into Paranormal work and became an Exorcist.  Virginia, on the other hand, remains unemployed and takes care of the cooking and the morning dishes.

A short while after Penny and Virginia moved in, Joseph and Danny--who had both returned from work at 3:00 p.m., were reaffirming their love for each other when the phone rang.  Danny, who answered it, was asked if he wanted to adopt.  He said yes, and in that way Nora entered their lives.  She has now become the particular pet of Calistoga, who runs to greet her every day when she returns from school.

So, any other firsts with this family?  Well, while Danny's brother and his friends were living with him, this was the first family to use the crystal ball to modify their personalities.  This was also the first family I experimented with making two independent buildings on one lot completely unconnected from each other except for a walkway--a private room with the Heart-shaped Hot Tub and the Love Bed.  Danny's family was also the first one to get a Servo--needed, really, because someone had to pick up all the dead mice the cats were leaving behind each night.  They also got the first transporters--and the last, because firstly the cats couldn't use them, making them unhappy, and secondly because I didn't know if the transporters could malfunction and kill the Sims.

Okay, as an addendum...Danny was originally created as skinny Sim, but has since bulked up and gotten into shape.  I sort of miss him in his original outfit--as I said, he was the first Sim I created after incorporation--but he looks okay in his new one, so I'm satisfied.

Woooh, I have created my first object in TSR workshop for The Sims 3, thanks to Vanillasim (Robin)

Hi all,

I needed a little breather from my current projects, so I decided to follow a tutorial on TSR. I chose the paintings tutorial by Vanillasim. Much to my surprise it worked! Nothing intended towards Robin's tutorial skills :) It's just me, I just can't seem to get my head around certain tutorials. My brain starts to ache and I give up, well only until my brain recovers...ha ha.

I have been repeating the process all day until I knew how to do it without looking at the tutorial. I have now produced 2 paintings for my new space lot, these will be released in a few days.

So expect lots of painting to be coming your way soon, now I know how to create them.

I am just putting the finishing touches on the Space station, so that will be uploaded by next week.

I have projects in line for Valentines and Easter, so expect plenty more creations from me!

Bye for now........... Sim. xxxx

New game troubles after updating tto latest patch...

I thought the new game update would solve the cc-problems we were all experiencing.. but instead of solving the problems, I'm experiencing some new problems.. So I thought I'd post them for you to check if you're having the same troubles as I do.

First of all, my saced game is erased (again). This time I wasn't playing in Riverview (which I still cannot choose to play in), but in Sunset Valley. My lots disappeared, my simmies were standing on blue 'meshy' grounds, but nothing appeared. My backup didn't work either. So I started again from scratch, which caused my newly created lots to disappear as well.

Second, there are a lot of cc-clothes that are now with arms in the bodies.. I think you know what I mean, but I can't discribe it better than this. Instead of the arms put next to the body, the arms are through the body. (So if you're a clothing creator, check your creations for revisions...)

Third, I can't place objects inside the houses anymore. Terribly ennoying, because I keep getting the error: "item must be put on floor or ground" (my own translation, so I don't know if this is the right error in the English version). From certain perspectives I can place items, but it's verry irritating. Especially when placing or removing walls or fences..

I just restarted the game, so I'm not sure if the third issue's still there, but...

If you're experiencing one of these issues.. (and you solved them) please tell me what you did. If I keep getting these issues, I'll probably reinstall the whole game again... Every time there's an update there's something worse than the previous update..

Thanks!
