I have to play by the rules or I get bored 
I only cheat in small ways:
I skip the baby stage and static toddlers' motives.
I fast forward college to two hour-long sessions (maybe hour-long, haha)

I have the "No Friends for careers" hack and "Triplets/Quads"
I have every house set on "AutoPay Bills"
and if I have to I'll give college grads enough money to get a cheapo apartment.

But that's it, everything else is by the book ;]

Oohoo, Trans!  I would read that manga! 
I love Youhei, he's gorgeous.  I think Chiaki should be seme or a non-submissive uke  :]  That would make it a bit more interesting.

And oh~ Boys boys everywhere, Sierra!

Welcome back the both of you! 

Ooh, I like the new pics, Yoyo!  Especially Black's closeup, haha
They make a wonderful, unexpected couple!  I actually get a stupid little storyline in my head when I see them 

Wow, Yoyo!  I love them both.  White kind of reminds me of Near with that hair, or maybe it's your avatar ;]  Black is quite the hunk though, rawr!

Kacoshi..that name sounds familiar.  Welcome back to posting!  :]

Wow, great job, Sierra!  I love this show and Abby is one of my favorite characters.  I love your sim-version of her 

He's so pretty~    I love him, he looks so shy!
I wanna see daddy now    See where he got those wonderful genes from.

Damei is quite a sexy name  ;]
And yay, new person!  Welcome, JellyStar! 

Ooh, pictures! 
Thank you, Onyx~   

I would probably have pictures but my game crashed Sunday afternoon. 
I'll take nice manlove pics this weekend though, I promise.  I might even try to do something fancy for once.  :]

oh yeah 
I haven't picked up my manga in forever so I guess I forgot what his glasses looked like  D:

I think I've seen this before.  I used to roam the contest threads rarely and I just barely remember a design competition.

But that doesn't mean you couldn't do it yourself.  People have 'Cycle Two' all the time and re-use ideas to let new people get in or old competitors try again.

haha, no problem
Upload your pictures to a hosting site like Photobucket or Imageshack (I use Photobucket and love it)
Then there's a line of text that starts with [img ]http://(No space though)  (On photobucket you have to hold your cursor over the picture for it to show up)
Just copy that into a post and your picture will appear!

This is what it looks like on Photobucket:

I hope that helps 

The second and third seem a little big, they take up half his face, haha.  I think the first ones look good though.
His eyes aren't too big (I've seen too big before, woah  D: ) but they just jumped at me, haha.

Nice~
I've done something like this before, only it was whoever didn't die was the winner, haha

You have an *cough* interesting household there!  I love the fantasy skins everywhere.

Woah, big eyeballs 
haha, he's handsome, Onyx!  He looks great I think.  :]

~ Since it's a Yaoi thread I thought I might mention this - Ai No Kusabi is getting a facelift.  There's going to be a 13-episode anime series made out of it.  I've seen one picture and it's beautiful, it's one of those artworks to show off what it looks like.

*fangirl screams*
I love Loveless!!
Beautiful sims, Onyx!!    I love them  <3
