So Sorry!

Hi everyone, after a long time.

                 First of all,  thank you very much for your comments on my creations and your messages in my GB. I know this can't excuse but I was a little busy. I've read all comments and messages from you and I will answer them all as soon as possible.

                 In later days, there will be good surprises. I hope you will forgive me.

Yours, Melinda!

Problem

Having a mouse problem isn't what it use to be is it 

Screenshot is featured on front page!

Wow!  I am so overjoyed!  I can't beleive that one of my screenshots is being featured on the front page!  This is so cool!  I would never have imagined that this would happen!  While playing the game one night, China was loading and I was just messing around waitnig for my sim to load on the screen and decided to see if the camara would work while it was loading.  To my surprise, it worked.  So being featured on something that was random while playing the game and wanting to share with everyone that this was possible to do (camara shot while waiting for sim to load) is just awesome!  So go check it out.........it really is a good screenshot!  :-)  !!

China Vacation Home Finally Submitted

I finally submitted my China vacaction home (100 Dragon Hills) tonight.  I've tested it with two different sims and have enjoyed it.  Hope others do too.  :) 

I watched the video for the new stuff pack tonight and decided I've got to go buy it tomorrow.  I'm a big fan of the modern furnishings so I decided it looked interesting.  Thought I needed to submit my house before adding another pack to my game.

I have still been enjoying playing WA with the sim I named after myself (Kathy), but have lately got a little sidetracked by Texas Holdem on Facebook and have been very lucky.  :) 

Last night Kathy went on another vacation to China.  I remembered a sim she knew dying the last time she visited China but didn't think much about it.  When she arrived in China this time I got a message that she had witnessed a death.  Okay, fine but then she cried for 2 days over an elderly sim named Chen, with the same last name as mine (and my adventurer).  I created this sim and she has no relatives, but it's like the game made this guy her father.  I know none of the sims in China had my last name before he died, it's not an oriental name.  Strange, but it's little things like that that keep me playing.

Hey, it's February.

Hey, everyone, I haven't written a blog in a while, so here it goes (Don't all blogs seem to start off this way?).

I'm really loving creating at the moment.  I've make some of my favorite outfits by far just recently.  And, I'm looking forward to what I'll come up with next!  

Oh, and I hit 3 MILLION downloads.  *applause*  Why, thank you.  Haha, yeah...

And, i found a new obsession!  Grey's Anatomy.  I have no clue why I didn't ever watch it before, but it's really great.  I'm almost through watching season 3, and that's taken me like 2 months.  I also can't wait till Glee comes on again.  Yes, I love Glee.  It's true.  Tell the world.

My astounding skills in Gimp can in handy a couple days ago.  I was bored, so I started making logos for this guy's band.  So, I gave him the link, and he actually used one on his Facebook and Myspace.  Score one for Claire!

In school, I'm getting more and more stressed about scholarships!  Oh my goodness, people, please give me money!  I am also amazed by my sudden lack of homework and my also very sudden case of Senioritis.  Can't wait till the weather warms up, then there'll be nothing to keep me focused!  It's so freakishly cold here all of the sudden.  We'll have one week of 60s weather, then the next week we'll get ice and snow.  I hate snow (and ice, and cold wind).  If it wasn't so freaking windy, it wouldn't be that bad.

Oh, and I really appreciate everyone's comments and entries in my guestbook!  I haven't had as much time to reply to everyone, but hopefully i'll get to it soon!  Also, if you ask a really stupid question (yes, there are such a thing as stupid questions, you know who you are), I probably won't answer you.  Take the freaking time to look up a tutorial by yourself, it's not hard.  There's this new thing called Google.  It makes searching really easy.  Can you believe that?

Also, I put the link to the mesh FOR A REASON!  The reason: it is necessary for you to download it for the outfit to work in your game.  It isn't necessary to comment 14 times telling me that it didn't work for you (this happened. complete with exquisitely improper grammar).  Don't get me wrong, if there is a problem with the mesh, or I put the wrong link, tell me.  Tell me that you think the link is wrong or something, don't just say that it doesn't work for you.  That's not helpful, because I'll just tell you to download the mesh.

Enough ranting for today.

The Green Family

The Greens are not original residents of Old Town, nor are they one of the older families.  They would have been one of the wealthiest, except that they had moved out of their old house and into the Old District, where land was more valuable.  Building a new home from scratch drained their financial resources, but with everyone working hard, they are steadily replenishing their bank account.

Davis and Angelica Green moved to Old Town shortly after their marriage.  Davis, who had always been good at knowing where things were located--even after they had been deliberately hidden--had learned more about his paranormal gifts and had found employment in the neighborhood as an Exorcist.  He still gets a lot of calls to find missing things, though.

Angelica Green (who happens to be Hector Miller's older sister, and who had encouraged him to move to Old Town after his divorce from Misty Talbot) met Davis in college, where she was studying the theater arts.  After their marriage she took a job as a waitress to help make ends meet, but she was soon "discovered" and worked her way into bit parts and supporting roles, and finally made into musicals as a Broadway Star.

They have one daughter, Bethany.

Shortly thereafter, Davis' twin sister Collette married into the Rutherford family.  This was a plus because not only were the twins--who had always been close--living near to one another, their children would always have playmates nearby.

Later, Davis' older brother Theo, his wife Alicia, and their son Isaac came to town.  Returned from living abroad and needing a place to stay, the younger brother invited the older to move in with them.  Accepting the offer, Theo and Alicia make their contribution to the household finances, though neither make as much as Davis and Angelica.

Theo, who had been an executive in another company, now used his severance pay (wishing to return stateside, he'd had no choice but to quit his job) to start his own company.  Now he is a CEO, making more than he was making at his old job.

Alicia, who had also been working with her husband at that other comany, used her severance pay to go back to school and study to her heart's content.  Now, having received her degrees in science, she works as a Theorist.

A few months after Theo and his family moved in, Davis and Theo's parents arrived.  Having been forced to vacate their old home (to make way for a new residential community of tract housing), they moved in with their sons--thus forcing the move into a bigger home.

Susan has always been a housewife, and she always will be.  She loves being near her grandchildren and is more than happy to take over the household duties of meal preparation, etc.  That is, after all, what she knows.  Nathaniel, on the other hand, became restless in his retirement.  He first thought to go back to school and teach--he had been a science teacher before his retirement--but changed his career after being frustrated at the lack of fashions for older people.  Now working in the fashion industry, he's determined to change the way of the world...by promoting his idea of "Gorgeous Gray, Sexy Silver" to the everyone.  He has aspirations to become a Fashion Columnist, thus gaining a wider audience, and plans to start his own clothing line.
