Lucy's Valley: Week Three - Montgomery

[simsforaranya]

GUYS, I'M GRADUATING TOMORROW! While I'm not exactly looking forward to marching through the middle of downtown in my bright green Slytherin robes, at least they're bright green Slytherin robes, rather than the hot pink we were told we'd have when we started this degree. XD

Everyone is SO CUTE! I especially love Julian's eyes. :D

I hate trees that always catch on fire. >.>

[simsforaranya]

I've been told that putting lightning rods on the roofs helps, but I never remember, lol.

[leech_jar]

I did put a lightning rod on the roof once, but then people randomly started catching on fire. That might just be a Seasons bug, though.

Julian does look more like a fish than a lemur. I really like the dark skin/alien eye thing that he has going on though.

[simsforaranya]

I was a bit iffy about blonde/S4, but he really pulls it off. The first normal skinned/alien eyed child I had (who just about made me go insane from loving her so much) was S1/black hair/alien eyes. Julian's the opposite, but he's AWESOME.

[simsforaranya]

I DO THE SAME THING. Especially when I'm reading a whole pile of entries that I have bookmarked. XD

I had to ditch those beds, but I'm hoping to be able to do it with the other two-part bunkbeds that I have. Using the quarter tile placement cheat is FANTASTIC, and I can't believe I only found out about it a couple months ago.

Thank you, muchly. :D

And I'm excited woooooo! Well. Excited and a little weirded out. I keep staring at the pile of clothes and the hat and thinking about how utterly ridiculous I'll look. XD

I love that bunkbed..is that Atavera's or another one? Cause if it's a different one I want it! :p Like I wouldn't just steal your downloads folder. ;)

Congrats on graduation! And thank goodness for no pink!

[simsforaranya]

It is a TS3 conversion one, but I don't recommend getting it. My game was doing terrible crashing at birthdays, and it stopped when I removed those beds from my game. I'm not entirely sure the two are related, but I'd be careful, especially if your game likes to have problems.

I don't actually mind pink (though I'd far rather have green) but I felt so sorry for the guys in my class. They're already given a hard time for being in a "girly" profession, and if they had to wear pink to graduation? Uh, yeah.

[simsimity]

Lol yeah, maybe I should avoid them, my game and problems go hand and hand! :) Don't need to give it more reasons to hate me. ;) I like pink a lot more now that I'm older - but wouldn't touch the stuff when I was a kid. And yeah, guys in pink? They'd have to be pretty secure in their manhood to wear that out in public! Kind of sad that it's considered a girly profession though, but gender bias still happens regularly I suppose.

[simsforaranya]

It is REALLY silly, since they get teased about it, but when it comes to job-hunting, you have an automatic higher chance of getting a position if you're a guy. Schools WANT male teachers, because they NEED them, but guys get teased out of studying to be teachers. LOGIC: THERE IS NONE.

ARGH JULIAN IS SO SQUISHY!!!! <3

Ahaha, your pancake story is why I love reading your updates! ;)

Stupid trees, why can't you be unrealistic and NOT get struck by lightning? One of our palm trees (ALMOST RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOUSE) got struck by lightning on Christmas Day. Frightened the heck out of all of us and visiting relatives!

[simsforaranya]

I'm so glad you feel that way!! I tend to write WAY more little anecdotes than actually end up in the updates, simply because I think no one can actually care. XD

Oh goodness. @_@

When we were in Fiji, we'd been having massive downpour type rain (the kind you can only get in the tropics) for THREE DAYS, so everything was utterly saturated. Only lightning hit a coconut tree stump and the thing BURST IN TO FLAMES. My brother and I never treated lightning storms lightly after that. XD
