Story creation - not so easy

The thing is that I thought I can just make a story and that it will be easy. But the problem is that I actually need a story BEFORE playing the game. I have created my characters and put them in the game, started playing, made tons of screenshots, and than realized there's nothing interesting in the whole thing FOR OTHERS. For a publishable story, one needs just that: a story. An enjoyable thread of events, an adventure, a punchline, something that is unique. Cool shots with normal setups like going to school and work and love and divorce etc are not enough. I haven't given up, but hey, I am not a writer. So I am waiting for that little breeze of inspiration...:D Until that, here's a so called cool shot.

King of the Hill for Sims 3

Well guys my future work is going to revolve around King of the Hill. I will be making houses for only the following.

    * Hank Hill
    * Margaret Platter Hill 'Peggy'
    * Robert Jeffrey Hill'Bobby'

    * William Fontaine Delatour Dauterive "Bill"

    * Jeff Boomhauer

    * Cotton Hill (Hanks dad)
    * Didi Hill (Cottons second wife)
    * G. H. Hill (Cotton and Didi's son)

    * Luanne Platter Kleinschmidt
    * Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt (Luanne's Husband -that she left)
    * Gracie Margaret Kleinschmidt (Luanne and Lucky's Daughter)

    * Dale Gribble
    * Joseph John Gribble (Son of Nancy and Redcorn, raised by dale)
    * Nancy Hicks Gribble (Dale's Wife)


    * Kahn Souphanousinphone, Sr. (the Hills' Laotian next-door neighbor)
    * Minh Souphanousinphone (Kahn's wife)
    * Kahn "Connie" Souphanousinphone, Jr. (Kahn and Minh's daughter)

    * Buck Strickland (Hanks Boss)
    * Elizabeth "Miz Liz" Strickland (Bucks Wife)


    * John Redcorn

Some of the houses will be direct replications some will be my own imagination. The sims themselves just depend how easy they are to make. I dont have loads of time to work on this but I will be getting it working. If you do any of the sims above let me know and I will see about using them.

As for the houses the hard part is going to be finding images of all the houses. So if you know the series I need to see as much of the following houses as possible

Hank's House
Bill's House
BoumHauer's House
Dale's House
Kahn's House
Stricklands House
Redcorns House
(((Cottons house is not necessary its never been seen so kind of free to make my own design on this one)))
(((Luanne's house is not necessary its never been seen so kind of free to make my own design on this one)))

I am not sure about community lots from Arlen or not but I will see about it.

Finally got sims3

I finally decided to get sims3 and i have to say it has started growing on me, although i do still prefer many features and things from sims2 one thing that really annoys me is not being able to create my own community lots like shops etc and not entering and i find it backwards and stupid and I hope it becomes possible in expansions.

Also no it wont slow the game down since nothing inside would be rendered untill you chose enter, so therefore for ppl with slower machines it should be optional i think.

becides that and the serious lack of content (since they've removed loads to sell back to you ¬¬) im enjoying the game and i like the wakling to other places :D.

Well that's ... different.

Today's new discoveries are two-fold: one, that whole backwards-arm bug is still there.  That's sort of disappointing -- you'd hope they'd straighten that out eventually.  It's just damned odd.  I'll add one to my screenshots so that it can be seen.  It looks like I'm back to my "when things go wrong" series.

The weird thing is ghosts.  They can rejoin the household now (through the science center), and I think George just got dead wife Jane pregnant.  Hrrmmmm!  I'll have to see how that pregnancy goes.  The weirdest thing about is that everyone's just going on about their lives as if having ghost mom living in the house is just perfectly normal.  Mom's translucent?  Yeah, yours isnt?

And yes, she's definitely pregnant -- my ghost Jane has been running to the toilet and vomiting after every meal.  Now I just wonder if the baby will be living or dead.

The ghost on the lot seems to cause a lot of things to go wrong.  Each of the three showers has broken at least once in the last 24 Sim hours, and the dishwasher went on the fritz, and all the trees in the garden died.  Could be a coincidence, but seems shpoooooky in the mean time!

Sims 3 - Reviewed!

Hey guys!

Just a quick message from me! Don't want to make it too long, this heat is starting to kill me! (And seeing as this is the UK, I'm half expecting it to suddenly shift to snow at any second.. xD)

But seriously, just wanted to give a quick shout about my new review of the Sims 3! Yup thats right, I own a copy!

Its seriously good stuff. So go check it out! (Url posted at the bottom).

I'm currently just getting used to its features before I start releasing content, so expect a few weeks before Sims 3 houses start rolling of the production line.

Well, I'm off now to hide under a tree before the sun turns me crisper than beef jerky.

So, toodle pip!

Objects again

So since updating my computer to play Sims 3 I haven't gone to play my Sims 2. Today I was bored so I decided to reinstall just the base game. Well it works and now it looks even better with the new video card! I also decided to try SimPe again...prepared for it not to work. IT WORKED!!!!!!! I can now recolor custom meshes!! So I read some tuts and did my first recolor. I decided to do a kitchen in pink. Here's the Pink Recolor of Contemporary Floating Kitchen! Will be available if approved by TSR lol.

Thought's on the Sims 3 Workshop

I'd like to know your thoughts on the new Sims 3 Workshop/tool etc. This is all new to me but since the Sims 3 came out with create-a-style I've absolutely loved it. I've read through the Sims 3 workshop info about the tool and also read through some of the forums but it all seems a little confusing. Plus I don't have photoshop on my laptop yet so untill I get that I'll probably have to hold off. I'd love to know how people are finding it though.

Look forward to reading your thoughts. (About the Sims 3 Workshop that is! :o)

My God!

Today I get online and as always the first thing I go do is look at my page. I get there and I am at 25,208 downloads from only 162 creations!. I am so excited about this and now because of this I will be reinstalling my Sims 2 and cross my finger it works (I had to update my computer for Sims 3 and now some thing down't work..strange huh?). Well if you like tell me what you would like to see (clothing wise) and i'll see what i can do :)
