Its been a while!

Wow! I can't believe I haven't updated my blog in so long!
I've been so busy my sims have had to take a back seat for a while. I still am very busy, but I'm making more of an effort as of now!
I think my blogspot needs a serious facelift, that's the next job. I've been using Livejournal but in the last 5 minutes I've decided I hate it :P
I'll update that and post here.
For some reason every single sim I post on here apparently requires World Adventures - I have literally no idea what I keep using in CAS that came from that EP but I've tested all my sims on a computer that only has the base game installed and everything works fine so there's no need to pay any attention to that!
(I'll still investigate and try and find out what it is though! It's something I use every single time and I can't figure it out haha! It's driving me crazy!)
So if anyone is actually reading this, thanks :D ... and I'll be posting much more regularly from now on (I hope - I may well fail!)

Decisions, decisions...

Some file organisation is needed today I think....

That's twice now I've almost uploaded the wrong thing. Nobody wants to end up with an ugly hag type witch sim instead of one of my models!

I get so confused. I think I'll leave the lots for now, get my sims out of the way then I can concentrate on the houses properly :)

There may even be time for a dress or two, and I've got some shoes on the go that need finishing.

THEN maybe I'll make an alien sim, just for fun.

I wouldn't be surprised if there already is one in my list of sims to upload. It's a mile long and there's literally everything you could ever imagine in there - goths, geeks, jocks, models, witches, fairies, zombies, celebrities ... I could go on!

But which ones do I upload next?? At the minute I choose by scrolling randomly up and down the list, and whatever I stop on gets uploaded. Hardly an informed decision...

This isn't really a blog post is it? It's come out more like a to do list for me!!

It's a good thing I keep these things short....

Life Lessons

Lesson number one:

You can't get ready for your move to university on the 17th AND play The Sims at the same time.

I'm moving out on Friday, yet all I seem to be doing is taking screenshots of Sims I'm uploading and finishing partly- decorated lots!

I've totally got my priorities right... 

I'm wondering if I should maybe start making Sims that actually look like real people? Instead of whatever pops into my head... I'll give it a go and see how they turn out.

Yet more distractions from what I'm supposed to be doing....

Thought I should link to my actual blog on LiveJournal - It's not very Sims related (the occasional link back to TSR) but it's documenting my life experiences as I have them, as of about a week ago

Gimping.

Ohhhh today has been a nightmare that I felt the need to document.

WELL FIRST.

Gimp crashes on me in the middle of making a gorgeous dress that I would have been quite happy to upload for once....

So, I check on the problem, seems as though my DDS plugin wasn't right. SO I re-install the plugin. Now I'm missing an entire folder from the original Gimp files!

This is why I hate windows 7.

It's taken me all day to get it working again.   GRRRR.

On a lighter note, I'm slowly working through my backlog of sims and half-finished lots to upload! Which is making me incredibly happy and keeping me amused.
