Sims 4!

Wow, it has been a while!  TSR has changed a little since I was last on.  I like the way the VIP has changed.  

I am so excited for Sims 4!!!  I've dreamed of Sims that look like real people, have downloaded Sims that look like real people, but making Sims that look like real people has elluded me.  I get frustrated with sliders and hacks and my inability to make it work with the vision in my head.  With the Sims 4 I will be able to shape everything exactly as I see fit.  Have you seen the trailers and gameplay videos yet?  Go follow the Sims people on facebook, they're posting all kinds of goodies!

Lost In Left Field

Sorry I disappeared for a while... I just celebrated my 23rd birthday (or maybe I should say worried about it) =P

I'll doing some more building here pretty soon, right now I'm taking the Curious Family in Strangetown to all kinds of messiness.  lol

They were all abducted once or twice and have a bunch of alien little ones.  I like how my game chose custom content hair for the toddlers.  It was cute.  =)

I've got some more celebrating to do tonight, but I should be back at the building here soon, and I'll post my flip this sim episode. 

Cheers,

Missi

Idea Strike: Flip This House

I suddenly had an idea strike to do a story of Flip This House from the channel TLC.  If the first episode does well, then I will make and post more episodes.  What I am going to do is take one of the default homes, and go through the process of remodeling it with pictures and captions.  Our hostess for all these shenanigans: Missi Marie, a single woman with some big ideas and a lot of charisma!!!

I'm thinking I'll call it Sim This House.  Original, huh?  LOL  I love random idea strikes. 

Right now I am playing Guild Wars, but I will post the first episode hopefully by Monday. 

Have a good weekend!!!

Duplex!

I'm confused.  I don't understand how snapshots that I take could come out different sizes when I don't even know how to change the size snapshot I'm taking.  I've done very little in the way of pictures in game, and now that I am uploading my lots I am finding I know very little about snapshots. 

*sigh*  Well, Double Duplex made it up, and should be published tomorrow, Feb. 14.  Dutiful Duplex, on the other hand, needs new snapshots taken because some how I took two different sized ones and I need to figure out what I did.  lol

I'm also trying to deal with bank issues and phone company.  gah.

Wooo! Helgasims!

Wooo!!!  *does a little dance* 

I was really upset about Helgasims and the lack of site attatched to the link, so I went digging around our forum.  Reflexsims has her hair meshes on their forum.  Go join their forum, and pop helgasims into the search forum box.  I was jumpin for joy!  I really really hope Helga comes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Townhomes ongoing project

I'm still working on the Desidesquare Townhomes, I've had a few issues with them.  I'm thinking about submitting a sim, but I'd have to track down where I got all the parts to give credit where it's due.  This is a little daunting. 

I've made a few duplexes, and I've just gotta get some good pics of them, and finish having sims wander through them.  They'll be up before Wednesday, I promise!!!!

The Cracked Glass Bar

Yay I finally got a lot submitted (I tested it for a little while first this time)

The Cracked Glass is a bar/card joint/restaurant.  There is a break dancing dude out front.  As soon as I brought a sim to the lot, seven other sims showed up.  That's a good sign, right?

ACK!

Wow, so the next day after my last submission, my computer decided to restart on me every five minutes.  I wasn't able to figure it out, so I took it to my IT guy.  He had some problems too, and then we realized it was my ATI update I had done.  So today is the first time I've had my computer home and running since the 21st.  I'm making myself as a sim, and I'll post her after I figure out who I owe all the credits to and such.  I was thinking about posting my late dog, Spike.  He was a rat terrier. 

I'm probably going to get into clothing here pretty soon, I'm excited about that.  I want to create the shirt that I'm wearing right now, this is why I'm hot (it's a picture of Super Mario's fire flower sitting on the brick it comes out of)

I want to create a pair of ultra wide leg pipe jeans, but that will definately take making a mesh,  and I am soooo not there yet. 

*Smacks Self in Forehead*

Wow. Just wow.  Do not underestimate how silly one can be.  All these expansions and downloads later, and still wasn't getting it.  I didn't realize that a RAR file had to be opened... I never had the program to do so until now. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: when you want to try something, read up about it completely before you go for it.

Submissions gone awry

I was all excited because I made my first submission to TSR.  I didn't test it as well as I should have before using, and well, let's just say I removed it today because there are some quirks that I can't live with.  Hopefully I'll get those bugs squished and have the new version of Desidesquare Townhomes ready for action!  (I'll test it better this time, I promise!!!)

On a different note, I am excited to start making sims to upload.  I have some extra time on my hands due to lack of work, so I figured I'd give creation a go instead of just playing the game. 

*crosses fingers* here goes nothin!
