Sorry for my absence, my cat became very sick around Christmas, lost his eyesight, and has been unable to care for himself, requiring around the clock care, which hasn't left me with much time for sims. Any pocket of time is now reserved for sleeping, vet visits, and grocery trips. They think he may have cancer, and the protocol to treat this has been long and exhausting. I'd like to thank everyone for the nice comments on
allthingsimlish over the holidays though, it was really unexpected and helped cheer me up during this difficult time. Some were left for you too. :)
I've made a few lame attempts at playing in between caring for my cat, but the game went idle each time before I could actually play, giving me that blocky screen that I posted about before. I sucessfully managed to go into it yesterday, and found that it was just as glitched as I had left it. *sigh* So... I downloaded everything I'll need to install the clean templates and start over. Now that I've settled into my new routine more, my desire to play and write has returned. Hopefully my next update will be a more positive one.
