I spent a good portion of last night fixing up the Higgs' house. I'm still missing a few things, but they're all pretty minor, so the house is pretty much set to shoot again. For example...


Hadron bought Alice a sturdier stepladder. Will she finish the dining room before the baby is due?

It seems like I just don't have enough hours in the day anymore, and an unstable connection isn't helping matters any. Keyword(s): save often

Here's a peek at the "Crystal Springs" Uni campus I've been rebuilding for my story. I used the "Three Lakes" template this time, which I am much happier with. The layout is similar, but less spread out, so it feels more complete as a subhood. Lots are mostly Irma's, refurbished by me.

It really saddens me that I never made a single story update in 2011. It was a helluva year for me, and I simply got burned out with all those computer issues on top of it. Hopefully, I'll do better this year.

In other sim-related news, I've been playing a lot of Sim Social. It's been a nice change of pace, and is fun to play with other players, but damn... that game is like crack (so addictive)!!! That said, I had better go collect my daily bonus now. *lol*

I've been busy rebuilding Belladonna Cove, back to the state that it was previously on the old computer. It's been a slow, tedious process, but I'm looking forward to actually playing again soon. I've also been reinstating all of the friends & families and their relations. Here's a few silly shots from the Newsons. They're challenging, being all kids, but have such strong sense of family (in my game/head anyway); which is what I love about them!


It was a day of festivities as the toddlers grew into children. Atlas
and Justin even swung by to help celebrate. Garrett, being slightly
older, went first. This day couldn't have come any sooner!

It looks like this cat is in the wrong category. Haha!

P.S. I'm surprised that billboard isn't in simlish.

Hoping to play soon, but there's a spot in my game that keeps glitching. So, Hadron is on vacation for now!

I still have a working console, but it's not compatible with the newer digital TV's. Time to fire up the ol' Zenith!

More funky texturing problems. I've come across sore items with texturing from other items, or in this case, no texture at all. Any idea what could cause this?



I use this security camera on practically every community lot, it does not normally look like this. It reminds me of the lot loading on Sims 3, only the textures never load.

I cracked open the installed game that came with this computer, updated my mods, and went in to play. Not only did they use the game installer for everything (I've since removed those files), but there's houses full of sims in the lots bin!!! Nooooo.......

I remember them having some problems with their game once before, so given the massive amounts of gibberish package files, I think this was how they packaged up and re-imported their sims, cc, houses, you name it. I have the fun job of trying to sort out this mess. Remember, the cd drive is shot, so I'm stuck with this install if I want to play at all.

IIRC, there's a tutorial, or a mod (debugger maybe), over at MATY for properly deleting sims. I'm wondering if I could I do this, and then delete all the neighborhoods? Or would deleting the neighborhoods alone simply fix this? I've read that deleting the neighborhood folder alone is a VBI, but if I delete the regular Maxis hoods within the game, will they still regenerate? I'd still like to play the Maxis hoods, I just don't want any dangling data.

P.S. Should I have character files in the main LotCatalog - because there's 229 of them.
