b o o l p r o p bea sims'

 Tomorrow, I am being spirited away to The Middle of Nowhere, West Virginia. In any case, I will be gone until Monday (at the latest) and will be going back to work on Tuesday. (: SO! That means I hope you all have a HAPPY and SAFE holiday whilst I'm away and not able to access the computer. I hope everyone eats a lot, spends a lot of time with family, and even though I'll be speaking to you before the new year, HAPPY NEW YEAR. 

Also, happy birthday kingmike1224  andgoldfished  . It's a little early this year, 'cause I'm waking up at five tomorrow to begin the drive, but it's the thought that counts, right? Hope it's a great one. :) 

(I know, two posts in one day ... it means that the Apocalypse is coming.)

So, I figured I haven't uploaded a sim in a while, and I might as well stick Pyre up here. I love her so and I think she'd get up to some great shenanigans in your game as well, if you'll have her! Anyway, thanks to the lovely pixel_trade  tutorial, here is Pyre for your enjoyment.

 Soooo, the lovely needlecream , who I adore for being the skin-goddess that she is, as well as a beautiful person, has made her first mesh + recolor. You can snag them here. And basically, they're adorable and I'm SO HAPPY for you. Whilst I was playing TS2 today, because you know, it is a break for me ... I decided to have myself a little photoshoot with her mesh and recolor, and with Pyre. Because I <3 Pyre. 

Enjoy the craziness that ensued!

Post f-locked 'cause of unnecessary tidbits

I really, really love the fact that my school lets out for a pretty sizable Winter Break. Even though now I have to work, still, I love it. So the next few weeks should bring some very very productive quality sim time. :) So look out for it!

Also! Happy birthday, iliketoplaygod ! I hope it's a really, really awesome one. (: 

I should be finishing the end of an analytical paper on Ethan Frome for my English class, but I'm not. (: I'm sharing with you all instead, 'cause it's Christmas and nothing is better than friends around Christmas! (That and Pyre is adorable!) Anyway, this is Pyre Galen. She lives in the room that I've posted about before, the one I pretended to clutter. I played with her a bit this weekend, and this was the result.


( Shameless townie abuse under cut. )

So, in case there was anyone who didn't wanna go through that - happy HOLIDAYS everyone! I'm gonna be on break starting tomorrow after work (which ends at 9:15, ugh). So I should be simming a lot more. And yeah. :] Keep it real, y'all.

You all will be so proud of me! I actually played my game, for hours, this morning. So I have some images of the sim (her name is Pyre Galen) who lives in the semi-cluttered bedroom below this post. I have to admit, I got bored halfway through decorating her apartment, so only half of it is done ... but the other half is livably furnished. SO ANYWAY. I just wanted to say that I should have an update posted tomorrow, or the day after.

I've never really understood the entire fascination. I live in a room that could be basically called "cluttered" and it's not "chic" or "cute" like people say sim images are. I guess it's just one of those things. (: However, I've been trying to give it a shot while decorating, and ... failing? Somehow I always feel that I keep things very simple; but it is my game and that's the way I like it. So pyhahhhh. Anyway, all I really needed was something to fill up this space so that I would have a nice transition into images. (:



( + 4 (Four) Images )

Ok, so y'all who care might have noticed my resources list is gone. That is due to livejournal eating my post when I edited it. I have it all in NON linked form saved in a notepad, but until I can get in the mood to actually redo it again, it'll just be sitting here. This is for future reference and will be taking the place of my resources post for the moment. I should have the FANCY, BEAUTIFUL one back up soon. [Hint: if you're offended by strong language, don't go visit the old page. ^^; Am human.]

Edit: I thought that it ate my post, but google chrome copy + paste saves the day! WHOLA. :) For some reason the other post is all borked.

( NEW AND SAVED RESOURCES )

Ok, SO. I should give you x10000000 apologies, but I really have nothing to say other than I love my sims game still and I'm planning to play soon (as in, as soon as I finish posting this). I've been avoiding playing the main family since I want to be in the right "mood" to take thorough pictures and what not, but I played the O'Mackey's today and began redoing their house in a more .. suitable style. I'm planning on Jules inheriting after all is said and done and I'm starting now on making it more *her* style.

So, World of Warcraft has kind of swallowed me up, but I promise I'm going back to playing Sims 2 more. Besides, I feel far more productive when I play the sims (for some reason) than I do playing WoW. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure I have two images. One from my Sims 2 game, the other I just took playing sims 3. (: I live.

I think it'll be pretty obvious which is which, but the one on top is the Sims 2.

;) I couldn't keep you all hanging with Lisa's pregnancy for long (read: I couldn't keep myself away from the game!). This was a pretty hard update (and you'll be able to see why at the end). I had particular trouble keeping all the cats alive. xD Anyway! Enjoy!


( Now with an edited teaser!  )

Hope y'all enjoyed this update. I'm working (slowly) on extracting and packaging all of the Vaughn's in my game, even the "spares" (Isis and her family), and then uploading them to a general post. I suppose I consider this a sort of legacy - sans the rules. So more of a "let's see how far I can get with one family". Anyway! I should be organizing a Vaughn archive (notice the new tag) and a downloads page.

Other projects? The We Heart Sims Makeover Challenge. (:

For skittlebox , who I greatly admire! Also, for "The Person Below Me" mini-challenge @ pixel_trade. I hope y'all enjoy her as much as I did!

(; Get your head out of the gutter.

Just posting to let y'all know that I've updated my resources post to massive proportions. I only went in to change my defaults (again), but then I remembered all of the stuff I've recently downloaded and just had to link y'all to it. So, now it's huge. Enjoy. C: There's even more stuff that I haven't added yet (namely clothes and furniture), but I didn't want to scare anyone. xD 

Yes! They're back, thanks to my new and improved mouse. I know it's been forever since I posted a picture update with them, so if you missed the last one (or you want a refresher crash course), was here. A couple notable things have happened, and this update moves kind of strangely; it seems like I didn't take any pictures after Valentine's toddler birthday. :/ 'cept one. So:So, without further ado!



( SPLOMPH )

So anyway! More pictures to come, enjoy. :]

Happy Birthday shoefleesims , and happy early birthday snow_white2410 ! Hope y'all both have great ones and get lots of good presents and spend it in good company! :] 

So, I ordered a new mouse from Amazon on Sunday, and I should have it by friday. Which means, yay, I can start playing sims the way I'm used to again and have all the pretty ~angles~ and stuff. Oh, and changing pages won't be such a pain anymore. In any case, I have a few more picture updates to tie me over, and then this weekend = sim weekend. 

So basically, I'm in love with Isis. She's the bomb. I finally got unlazy after reinstalling the EPs and SPs I have now, and stuck her and her college sweety Andrew into a house together. And played foreverrrrr. So y'all can haz some Isis spam now, if y'all don't mind. :)




( Life is good.  )

For those who don't read under the cut (or have followed this all the way here), I've made a few changes. My defaults have changed, so I just wanted to make note of that. I changed out my skin defaults, and my alien default. Everything else remains the same. Also, since I seem to make an inordinate amount of posts with the Vaughn's, I'm creating their own tag and will be going back tonight to retag all my old entries about them.

Coming soon? All of the Vaughn's, available for download! :) 

So, I'm still pretty determined not to play my main homes until I get a new mouse (we'll see how long that lasts). It's one of those things where you don't miss it until it's gone. :) So anyway, instead of messing around in my usual neighborhoods, I decided to start making over Riverblossom Hills. And where else to start but with the O'Mackeys?

While I was there, I did make over her dad as well, but I fell in love with Jules. She kind of was my "wow, I love life" moment of the day. So have some spam!



( Jules O'Mackey is a hot babe in hiding. )

Hope y'all enjoyed it, this was fun to write and super fun to play. You should be seeing a bit more of her in the future, especially as I start to reinstall the final four expansions I have to install! :)

edit: Whoops, an unresized picture slipped in there first time! Should be fixed now.

Happy birthday to beatdoc16 , freezetomorrow , and prescilla_bean  (late D:) !!! Hope you all have great ones! :)

The mouse that I use on the computer I play Sims 2 on has died. I'm upset. It was a good mouse, with a little rolly thing so I could zoom in and out easily, as well as rotate. And now it's gone. I'm not sure when I'll be getting a replacement, so there will be minimal simming going on until I have a new one that fits my liking. I'm using a crappy $2 dell mouse right now. :(

However, I did get to play Isis in college, and get her and her hubby through it. She's carrying on the family tradition of picking up hot spouses from Uni. (...I had to get her someone with a chin!) Only five images, 'cause I am teh lazy and didn't take more than that.
