Desperate Housewives in Sims 3

Now I'm working on the houses of the Wisteria Lane. (Actually in Gabrielle's and Bree's house.) I'm a little bit busy now, but maybe I will publish them in the next week.

New PC

Finally I've got my new PC now I only need the memorybank. It sucks if you have to wait for it. But when I have it I can play the Sims 3 tooooo FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a few days more I hope..........

Blithering Idiot launches into patterns...

I think the Create-A-Style in-game tool is fantastic, and has more scope than first appears.  It's quite easy to make horrible and filthy surfaces with the in-built presets.  EA has done an incredible job.  However, there are still a couple of textures I miss, and I'll need them if meshing becomes a reality (which looks very probable). 

There are a few minor obstacles to all this:

(1) I have no knowledge of Photoshop (or GIMP)
(2) I have no knowledge about alphas
(3) I have no knowledge about channels
(4) I have no knowledge about masks
(5) I have no knowledge of .dds
(6) I never made Sims 1 stuff
(7) I've never made Sims 2 clothing
     (either 6 or 7 would have equipped me with the knowledge I need)

So my starting point isn't necessarily the best starting point!  It doesn't help that my best-known art package is (cough) Microsoft Image Composer.  This was issued in 1998 and expired in 2000.  I am STILL using it in Vista 64-bit despite owning the much more polished Corel Photo X2. 

Still, I've owned Photoshop for 20 minutes now and have made an amazing amount of - zero progress...  Murano and Blackgarden are being incredibly patient in trying to explain basic concepts to she-who-is-mentally-deficient.  If I ever get the hang of this, I will create a few yucky textures that would be impossible to create with the in-game tool.  That actually doesn't leave very many, but I hope one day to be able to make SOME at least!  Maybe I'll even be able to help any of the other lost waifs and strays who have never, ever done any of these things - maybe.  But right now, I'm one of those waifs and strays too.

Heck - my brain hurts!

I hope the part arrives soon because I can't hold it much longer. I really wanna play the Sims 3 now it has taken long enough now. I'll keep you posted when I'll shar my creations for the Sims 3.

Hello forum

Well it's finally here. Sims 3 is here and the gaming has begun. The game so far to me is very good. The graphics were a bit disappointing however. I was hoping that ti would be stellar. It is good. It's better than Sims 2, but I did expect more. Check my new site out to see what I will offer for gamers: KittyzUniverse.com

Sims 3: I'm tired and quit

There's one saying, which I often hear from Russian people - no words, only emotions. And that's exactly my opinion about Sims 3. I didn't expect much from it, but what I saw was a complete disaster.

Well, first - quick enumeration of good things. There were some good floors, and I have re-made them for Sims 2. There were some nice flowers, too, but unfortunately I have no idea how to convert them. If someone can get me in the right direction, I would be really grateful! Furthermore, the landscapes are told to be not bad, but my videocard was not designed for them :(

And now - about all the rest. They told us about Create-A-Style tool. Dunno. I wasn't able to pick the purple colour. Don't say I'm obsessed, I know this. Still, I play Sims2 on the same hardware - and all these things show up, with different shades of purple, violet, lilac and what not. So it's not my PC to be blamed. They told is about Sims' IQ. How does it show, I wonder? In respawning babies without parents? In removing your families from the town? They told about traits of character. Dunno. No difference, at all. Their faces are still so strange, I would even say - stupid - with these masks, showing-something-I-don't understand. And why are they so rounded, I want to know? Hey, and where is a pair of bones in male's bodies? And why the head is so unusually big? In other words, where is a sense of style? Furthermore, we were told about open neighbourhood. Well, I didn't see much use of it, but what actually is in a game - it's a shit. Sorry. Have no other words for half of a city being rabbit holes. Furthermore, why load the tutorial in the beginning? Are we that stupid that we don't know what to do with our simmies when it is Sims 3 already? Aa, forgot - what the **** do I need a video ( and it seems that not only one video ) in the beginning of every play? And the camera seems so strange - it jumps %) Furthermore, why do we need Sims' favourite food, music and colour? It has nothing to do with their everyday wants.

Well, now I'm tired. Stopping this. I gonna load my good old Sims 2.

Story Deletion....or Discontinuation...

Umm...the story known as 'Theft & Prosperity' has ceased to exist and will not be continued. Sorry Nat! If you happen to read this. Escape from paradise on the other hand, will get completed....one of these days. I'll also be posting a new story aswell, it's called good vs. evil, I've uploaded it to the site, I just have to submit it. But I wanted to have Escape from Paradise finished beforehand.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend! :D

Adios xox, ck.
