Is anyone else thinking about participating in Maxis Taste Dare No. 26: Second Chances? The idea of this one appeals to me, though I'm struggling with who to focus on. My recent playing of the entire uberhood has given pretty much everyone a chance, though I guess the point of the exercise would be to find something more to like in a character that ( Read more... )

The Maxis Taste Ship Match Awards have been presented! Go check it out, if you haven't already. Ale put together some really creative and funny photos to celebrate the big reveal. The whole thing was a lot of fun. ^_^ Thanks so much for organizing it, Ale!

Since not all the special categories made it to the awards ceremony, I thought I'd take a ( Read more... )

I think I'm too late to catch the nominations for F/F couples, but I discovered this great match while playing the game today.

Funny story... the very last question of this round is to choose the best match for Ophelia: Johnny or ( Read more... )

Wooohooooo! Thanks to Ale at maxis_taste, we get to have our very own Maxis sim ship match. This pairs different ships head to head and then we vote for our favourites, round by round. This should be fun! The pairings can be canon to the original game setup (Bella/Mortimer, Jenny/PT, Oberon/Titania, etc.), from a story in our community, or from your own game ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I actually participated in one of the maxis_taste dares (I did the makeover for Goopy and Sandy, but I never did get around to posting it). This one ties in nicely with my Christmasy mood, so I decided to go for it.

The challenge was to make over a couple (same sex apparently needing an opposite sex "chaperone" or some such thing :P), ( Read more... )
