Maggie's expecting and the ghosts have a night trip

More sims 3 pic spam! Not as large this time. The hospital seems to have become my second home. I've not been very well recently, well not for about 6 months, and I am just constantly having appointments with different doctors and specialists. They think I have chronic fatigue syndrome (or M.E), but we need another specialist's opinion first to be ( Read more... )

YAY BABY! :D

I don't like any defaults. The ones you are using aren't so bad, bt honestly, I think it makes her face look a bit red and sunburnt.

I just use Maxis, b/c they are lovely. :)
I feel like eventually Sims 3 will turn out like Sims 2 and the defaults will be considered hideous.

Wow, that's weird, what the ghosts did. I haven't seen that yet.

It's not the defaults fault that she looks so red. That would be mine. I didn't realise how red she looked in CAS, because the lighting is really different in CAS than it is in-game, so all the skintones look different. :/ It sucks. But I won't be making that mistake with my future sims! I have worked out what shades look good in-game now. :D The defaults don't change the colour of the sim, she was already looking red, they just add a little more detail and improve the shadows. You should try some out! These ones may not be your taste but different skintones/eyes will be made, that you might like!

Yeah it's extremely wierd! :P The ghosts always suprise me!

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that you're ill! :( You seem to be distracting yourself pretty well with The Sims though..

Maggie is adorable as ever and I love her morning face. The ghosts were sure acting really strange! Let's all go on a driving spree together! Did they pull their cars out of thin air?
And the bookshop looks just adorable and so cosy! It would be a lovely place to work. I think I need to rebuild that atmosphere in TS2. :)

Mind if I friend you, by the way?

Thanks. Yeah sims definitley keep me from losing my mind; stops me from getting really bored, but doesn't over tire me to much.

Thank you glad you like Maggie! I don't get what was up with the ghosts, be interesting to see if they do it again. Yes, it was like when I sim gets a taxi, the car just appeared and the ghost drove off. XD

I have been thinking of rebuilding stuff from sims 3 in sims 2 as well. The neigbourhood buildings and landscapes are just so pretty! Maybe with my next sims 2 challenge...

Of course you can! :D

I'm sorry your sick- I hope you feel better soon!

YOUR SIMS ARE ADORABLE! <3 Maggie is gorgeous. The custom content you installed really did make a difference! I have the eyes and I think HP's face skin retextures, but I'll be checking out the body ones.
The ghost thing is really weird! I've never seen them drive before, but who knows?
Great little update!!

Haha, thank you glad you like Maggie! Yes it is amazing what a difference a new skintones and eyes make!

I really hope you don't have ME. It's very often misdiagnosed - people who actually have it don't get a diagnosis but people who definitely don't have it get a diagnosis (even though they usually have someting that has nothing to do with ME, for example cancer, HIV, depression or hypothyroidism...). I hope this would be the case here and you had sometinh that is easier to treat because ME can be quite a horrible neurological illness to have and it's really difficult to find a doctor who would treat it. If you really have it, I hope you're one of those lucky ones who get better with time, not worse. Or that you find a great doctor who actually knows something about ME.

*hugs*

Lovely pictures as always :)

Yes it is really difficult to diagnose. I mean I have been really ill since last Novemeber, and we still haven't got a diagnosis. I've had so many tests for so many different things, but nothing yet. I think if my symptoms weren't so serious (I was collasping at about 12 times a day at one point, with no warning, so I could have really hurt myself.), I probably would have got no attention at all from the health services, and I haven't got much as it is. You're right about finding it hard to find a doctor. There is only 1 doctor in the whole country who specialises in ME, and she is based the other side of the country. We managed to get an appointment with her, but it took a lot of work. I'm seeing her in two weeks. Hopefully, she can give us advice and her opinion on whether it is ME or not ( ... )

I'm so sorry to hear you're that sick :( Have they scanned your brain? (Sorry, I don't know how I should say that in English.) Collapsing 12 times a day sound like a serious neurological problem. Of course ME/CFS is a neurological illness too but I'm not sure how common that kind of symptoms are in ME/CFS ( ... )

Yes I have had two different brain scans, an MRI (where you are in a tube thing) and an EEG (where you have this net thing on your head). Both found nothing just like all the other tests I have had. :/

I know exactly what I you are saying. One doctor I saw was positive that I had depression, but I know I don't. My Mum suffered for years with depression, so I know the signs and effects of that. I know what I have is not depression, and that doesn't make any sense at all really, because honestly the last few years of my life have been the happiest of my life now my mum is well and we moved to a place we really love. This illness just seemed to come out of no where. And the syptoms of depression are completely different; with what I have got now it's like I physically can't do normal activities. I will try to keep pushing myself through the day at school or whatever and will just end up drained and then collaspe. It is hard to describe my syptoms, but yeah it is not like depression. It is really hurtful when a doctor just kind of ( ... )
