For summer holiday, that is... Vacation is officially over for me and I'm back at work. Since I'm (pretty much) the only one here I'm even more bored than I would be if I had company. I spent a week in Madrid in June with my parents where we overdosed on art (Velasquez gave me goosebumps. Caravaggio too <3), and two weeks in July mostly at home, ( Read more... )

What do you get when you have two family sims, one Aries and one Taurus?

Exactly, three bolt stalkers.

( What do you get when they're both also women? )

Having born in game sims acting out of character or in spite of their aspiration is fairly common, especially when rolling for aspirations like I do and end up with shy pop sims or unplayful pleasure sims. Townies, on the other hand, are often more predictable. Fall in love? Family. Throw a party? Pop. A fear of getting married? Romance.

Mr. Bryson, I'm sorry to ripp off your fabulous title but at least I'm not trying to claim it as my own. And it's not even a history of nearly everything - it's just a small summary of the history of my own simming 'hood. Because I'm notoriously forgetful and need a place where I have this stuff written down where it doesn't get lost among the ( Read more... )

I've been having trouble making my sims spin commitment wants. Even the Family things. Which is rather weird and also sorta kinda sucks when you're trying to let them decide for themselves... *sulks* I've been trying to interpret their other wants and fears and working around it to make it happen but with poor luck.

That is until I played Romancer ( Read more... )

I spent the weekend at my mother's but still managed to sim some - partly at night when I should've been asleep, partly Sunday afternoon after I came back from my mini trip. With a seriously hung over boyfriend I can hog the computer as much as I like *lol*

Romancer Audrey Drake was last up in this rotation. She's a week into adulthood and is soon ( Read more... )

Adam Drake had a cheerless time as a teen. His wants as a Pleasure sim were either too expensive ('Buy a computer' - No, we need a bed for your youngest brother first) or too time consuming ('Go on a date' - Hello, I'm trying to feed your siblings and skill your parents towards their LTW!). So he skilled quietly in a corner instead. It didn't ( Read more... )

These last days I've been sporting a festive cold which has kept me away from work since last Wednesday. Because of my wonderful work contract I won't receive any sick pay (is that even an English phrase?) which sucks rather badly, but at least I've finally had some quality simming time ^_^

In this last week my first gen A kids started to grow up. ( Read more... )

Jennifer Hunicke-Drake is a lousy excuse for a family sim.

Jennifer 'blonde, blue cardigan and hat downtown girl' met her playable husband-to-be Daniel while he was on a date with another woman. He's a sweet knowledge sim and after fidgeting a bit with their turn-ons they had three bolts for each other. She moved in at the end of his first week in ( Read more... )
