Most of you know that I am still alive and kicking because I have been commenting on your posts, etc. This is just a message to the rest of my f-list to confirm that I am indeed still alive and still playing Sims games.
So what have I been up to?
I've returned to part time work. No more stay-at-home-mum for me, unfortunately. It takes me an hour and a half each way to get the kids to day care and then for me to skid into my office about 10 minutes before the first client of the day arrives. Being a psychologist, I do counselling and therapy all day (shock! horror! after all my years in simming communities (since Sims1 first came out) I finally admit to what I do for a living!). On the days when I work I arrive home after dark, physically and emotionally spent so playing Sims is out of the question because I basically pass out soon after I get the kids into bed.
I am actually playing TS2 at the moment and participating in Sims 2 Supernova's second legacy challenge. I've just been too embarrased to admit it here, because I've had a couple of legacies go belly-up due to technical difficulties. But if you actually want to read my new legacy ramblings, you can find them
here at S2S. I am trying to be at least semi-regular with the updates and there should be another one by the end of this week. When the S2S challenge finishes, I will throw the Darcies back into my game. I was going to play them again but their hood number is the same as my new legacy hood number and hood cloning is a Very Bad Thing according to Pescado so I have to wait until I finish with the Andersons before going back to the Darcies. But I'm the Little Engine That Could when it comes to Amelia, Beatrice & Co so that legacy will get at least to generation 5. I've been through too much crap to keep it going for me to just give up.
I am also going to be making a few more paintings for TS2 this weekend. I will probably post them here and send preview images to Keely for
LL30Sims. I haven't made any new sims lately because I've been trying to concentrate on actually playing and updating my S2S legacy. I was never a very prolific sim-maker, anyway, but I do miss mucking around in Bodyshop so I might have to fire it up soon. TS3 ate the last sim I made so I'm sulking in relation to that game. We might kiss and make up in the next couple of weeks, though.
I recoloured a
Peggy hair! I gave it Chokelate textures and you can
grab it here. No preview pics because I made it for personal use, but it's compressorised, binned and the gray is in the black file, mesh included. If I get my act together, I might alpha edit some of the flyaway bits some time in the future. Maybe.
So yeah - not dead, just sleeping :)
