A couple of years ago, I packed all of my Sims 2 and Sims 3 discs, and all my Prima guides, into a plastic storage box, and the box went out into the garage.  I was discouraged over both games and thought I was done with them.  Plus Origin had just put out S2 Ultimate edition, so I was playing that and didn't really need the discs anyway.  But then ( Read more... )

So, I got Sims 2 back up and running, it seems.  I am currently in the process of hand creating all new townies for Eridanos, because for some strange reason all of the townies, NPCs and AL social townies (except for a select few traumatized and tight-lipped survivors) have mysteriously disappeared after all of them were variously seen entering a ( Read more... )

...when I've had a long weird day and I just want to play Sims for a little while before bed... but!  One of the lots I built suddenly keeps crashing every time I try to open it, and I end up having to do the 50/50 custom content removal and put back method to try and narrow down what's gone corrupt, and it takes my game 10 minutes to start up ( Read more... )

A few years ago when I was writing Eridanos and WTiS, I had the plots for both pretty much worked out. I even had a planned ending for Eridanos ( Read more... )

Haven't been feeling well and when I don't feel well not only do I tend to not get online, but I'm also not inclined to be productive.  Well, that's not exactly true.  I am working on Sims, because that is actually something that I do tend to do when I'm not feeling good.  Making some progress in rebuilding some stuff, which is good.  (yes, the tag ( Read more... )

Some of you might remember that way back in March, I posted about rebooting Eridanos. I'd been working on rebuilding the whole story and neighborhood from scratch, since installing Seasons had killed it, and I really was quite excited about it.

( Unfortunately... )

Even though I haven't posted anything in a long time, sims-wise, I've actually been very busy with the game. I had a lot of little projects and story ideas that were floating around, but I recently decided to clean house and so a lot of those projects went away, since I knew it was unlikely I would work on them anymore. I want to concentrate on ( Read more... )

I miss my Eridanos kids. :( And especially Ripp ( Read more... )

Well, it's absolutely official now. My Eridanos neighborhood is not fixable. I was hoping that, with SimPE, I would be able to go in and identify the corrupted files and remove them. And I did so. But it made no difference. Eridanos still borked when trying to create weather, so I think the corruption runs deeper than I can find with my very ( Read more... )
