sorry

If you've been following my new legacy, I will be updating it soon. i have been working on putting together a training for work. I'm very very nervous about it since many of the people I will be training I work with every day. I've only been at the job for about 6 months and the magority of them have been doing the job for years. some hold much higher degrees then me. so I have been trying to get very indepth research done. to try to find a few things that they don't know on the subject. so I don't look like a wet behind the ear recent college grad. lol I have to do the training on May 9. I was given 5 weeks to put it all together. scared... so if I don't get a chance to update before then I should have something for you all by the end of that week. if your pouting now because you didn't know I started a new one and had been waiting for it, the link is; http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=389517 I haven't gotten far, but this way, no one feels left behind. :)

New Legacy sim in the works.

so, having my lap top cleaned seemed to fix the magority of the problems.  the game is running mostly like it should.  so I don't have to set my lap top back to factory settings.  right now I have no CC, but plan to be a little more selective about how much I download.  plus I have the clean installer.    so I've started a new legacy sim last night.  so the story will be up soon. 

what happened with my stories...

So a few of you might have noticed that my stories in the forums are locked..sadly, I've been having problems with my game and It might very well be an issue with my lap top as well.  *sigh* 

I have for some time suspected that there was a problem within the game.  but I'm sure many of you know how it is when you become attached to your sims.  I loved all 72 of them even the ones that were some what drab and boring..and the few I wanted to die already...those elixer of life junkies. 

so everything is gone...I tried reinstalling the game and putting the game files back in.  only to have the same problems.  tried deleting everything..game files and ugh..downloads..only to still have the same issues with the game. did discover that apparently happy holidays is not compatable with my lap top.  oops..  so everything had to come back out.  did a file search and got rid of everything that remained.  I think my copy of happy holidays might be a bootleg..as it has no install code.  but I guess for $6 on Amazon I should not be to surprised. 

I will be reinstalling the game minus happy holidays, and hopefully I have properly removed it.  first though, I am waiting for a new battery for my lap top as it does not hold a charge.  and if I remove the battery to run it on just the power cord..well there is no turning the lap top on like that.  ugh.  I am waiting for a new battery.  I order one, but then they tell me that it is out of stock and will take 2 or 3 months til I get it..???  also plan to take my lap top in to be cleaned.  it's 2 years old and for the most part I vacume it off, but it over heats a lot now and vacuming it off no longer helps.   possibly will be rolling it back to factory settings but must first get my son to lend me his external hard drive for me to move all my important files on to.  he offered it but when I ask he says "Later".

so it may be a month or so til a new story pops up.  I am thinking of using one of the custome hoods in the game instead of pleasantview. 

sorry for the delay..

for those of you who are following my stories in the forum, just wanted to let ya all know I have been sick since chrismas..truely I had slept that whole week after chrismas and am now on my second round of antibiodics.  so I haven't really been able to concentrate on my writing or even playing the game.  but I am feeling some what better today and plan to do some writing. 

also thank you to everyone who has been bookmarking me.  :) 

strange message..

when I went on the forum last night and today there is a message across the top that says "the TSR site and forum has closed. please use our sapport site".  anyone know whats happening?  

so..for chrismas I got..

broncitise..I spent the whole weekend asleep.. also got castaways for the ps2. so I've been playing that. it's ok. kinda like a harvest moon with a sims twist.

sorry it's taking so long...

I haven't had much time to work on my stories in the forums right now.  I've been very busy with holiday stuff and kids' events. 

was looking forward to getting a little writing/playing done tonight but there was something that happened at work and I've been asked to write down my perceptions of it..tonight, while it's still fresh in my head...ugh...so I've spent close to an hour writing it out  cause I keep remembering more details.  still not done, but had to take a break cause my head was hurting.

sooo...hopefully I will have more time over the weekend to put my energy into something I love. 

on an up note, went to the company party today and won a door prize.  $20 gift card to a local restaraunt.  not one of my faves, but it's nice for a change of pace.  :)  so maybe after the holidays are over hubby and I will go for dinner.   

getting caught up.

so I took a little break from playing sims2 and am messing around with sim city 3000.  :)  just doing that till I get caught up with writing everything.  I've been getting busier at work as they are giving me more to do and I almost have a full case load.  so I have been exausted when I get home.  plus with the holidays the younger two kids (High schoolers though) have rehearsals, a concert, a parade and a gift wrapping fund raiser...a lot for this week.   not to mention the shopping and trying to track down a gift card for my oldest...everyone has been sold out..??  got one though.   ;) 

I do have my story, "Life With a Pleasantview" up dated.  that the stories that were here.  I just up dated it tonight over at the forums under novel ideas.  hope you enjoy.  :) 

and as always, thanks for reading. 

My latest writing..

it's called "Life With A Pleasantview".  it's gonna be all the stories I started here.  but it's over in the fourums with screenshots.

I did skip over a few households because I didn't have screenshots for them but I'll get them caught up when their turn comes back around.

hope you enjoy.  :)

the latest scoop on what I'm planning.

First, let me start by saying thank you to everyone who is reading my legacy.  over 400 views already and I have barely even gotten started. 

Also, thank you's go out to all the wonderful people who have booked marked me.  that means a lot to me.  much appreciated.

for those who haven't looked recently I do have a new up date to my legacy. just added in the last few days.  forgot to post it here for you all to enjoy.  sorry I don't have the link for you all right now but I know you can all find it with ease. 

and finally.  my stories.  I'm planning on putting them in the forums where I can add screen shots.  simply because now that I am working an 8 hr job, and still finding time for all the volunteer work I do, I would rather be playing the game then simply writing about it.  and I have taken some almost wonderful screen shots.  I am working on improving my skills with that.  so I have been taking screen shots of my other sims.  which got me thinking...

 I have to admit that I am enjoying writing my legacy.  it has kind of a rough start, writing wise that is.  but now that I have gotten over the worse part of my nerves I am falling into a more comfortable rythem and really thinking it through.  so the quality of my writing is getting back on par, as well as some resemblance of a plot.  It is quite a challange writing a story around what happens in a game.  even if you have some idea as to the direction you want to take the story, well, sometimes the game takes it some where else. 

I think it is the fun of writing my legacy that has got me wanting to move my stories to the forum.  I also have been feeling guilty that some of you may have gotten hooked on them and have been left hanging.  I think perhaps some of you would like to see what my sims actully look like.  I hope that any creator out there who sees one of there wonderful masterpieces are able to smile at how fabulouse they have helped my sims become. 

I will post you all a link when I get the stories up.
