1  Simmers' Paradise / Sims Stories / Forbidden Love on: December 07, 2007, 10:16:00 pm
In this story I took elements from other stories to create the characters I did, such as the idea of the Drow or 'Dark-Elf' from the Forgotten Realms setting.
A quick forewarning; the prologue and possibly the first chapter or two will be written in 'First Person' perspective from either of the two main characters. And the remaining chapters will be written in 'Third Person'. So don't be surprised about the change in writing style. When it is in first person, it will be clearly labelled which perspective its from.
The story mainly circulates around two main characters: Xun'daar Myrraul and Karaya Twillian; as well as other characters related to them, through blood, friendship or another form of acquaintanceship. So here it goes:
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: Isla Bound
Xun'daar 's story:[/U][/B]
I'm not what you'd call a monster... per se. But neither am I what you'd call a human. Technically speaking, i am a Drow, a dark elf if you will, but we much prefer drow to dark elf, despising the connection to our foul, tree-hugging, surface dwelling kin. I've been raised amongst a tribe sworn to hate the surface elves and to worship Lloth. No exceptions. Restrictive, suffocating ever; but thus it the life of a drow.
Here's a picture (or two) to give you an idea of what I look like.

The drow live in the harsh and evil environments of the Underdark. The big upside to this is we have underground throughout the entire world to ourselves. Our eyes, too, have adjusted to the darkness of the Underdark, allowing us to see with infra-red vision, sensing heat.
The mind of the drow works differently than a human. In drow culture, woman are regarded with much higher regards then males. Even a male with as much power as the archmage, second most powerful figure in any Underdark city, cannot retain the respect and power of even the less noble preistesses. It is as our god, Lloth, wishes, and we've learned better than to tamper with her ways. Here's a picture of our Matron, Matron Mother Shenkaar Myrraul, giving a warm hug to my sister, a high preistess, while I sit suffering in my room, with nothing:


I was walking through the streets of the Braeyr, our hometown, which had an unusual amount of light today. I had completed my mission.... with near success.

I knew when I had reached our home, had sensed the familiar presences of the matron mother and my sister, the preistess. Most drow did not possess this gift, and the matron mother had often tried to influence me into studying wizardry. But I refused, deciding instead that I would train to be a warrior. She had sighed a heavy sigh, had claimed that females, too, were stronger and larger than males and it would be foolish to be wasted as a warrior. I knew it was true, but still I wanted to be a warrior. But back to the story at hand...


"You lost HOW MANY of your troop?" the Matron snarled.
"Seven," I replied honsetly, ashamed, but never once dropping my eyes to the floor. I had a real backbone.
She snarled again. "How in the name of Lloth do you lose SEVEN troop members on one SIMPLE expedition?"
"I... I don't know, mother."
This simple explanation did not suffice. She still looked angry:



When she left I let out a long, heavy sigh, and stood, gazing longingly out the window. How I longed to be free, to be released from the living hell that was my life.
Then I saw it: the sign. I nearly gasped in shock when I read the words. I knew this was my one and only chance to leave the Braeyr.

HELP WANTED
Need three drow to complete crew on a luxury caravan to complete a business transaction with the humans of the Ki-Linguii sector.
Caraven loads at midnight.
- Marn Do'Shen


I immediately sent a request for a summons to Marn. i recognized the name, and i knew that this was no 'business transaction' but an organized rebellion fleeing the Underdark.
He was here faster than I would've thought possible. Maybe i should have studied wizardry!



As we talked, he openly admitted what I had speculated about the rebellion. I knew my decision, I was going. I think he could tell I was happy about leaving the Braeyr,



And then I ran, faster than I'd ever run before, to where Marn's caravan waited to bring us on our voyage to the surface. To a new life. To freedom.
2  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / In theory..... (Bella Goth-related) on: November 26, 2007, 06:42:08 pm
In theory, using the Tombstone of L&D to add Bella to the Goth family, saving and exiting, returning, and using the Resurrect-O-Thingy (from Paranormal career track) to resurrect her SHOULD bring back Bella Goth. It does not work, however as it says 'You don't know any sims who have died.' Two things that don't add up:
1) When Bella came back the first time (through Tombstone of L&D) she had automatic relationships with Cassandra, Mortimer, and Alexander. So technically they should have known her.
2) In Cassandra's memories (after Bella's ghost disappears) she has a memory "Bella Died. This sim is very important to me... BLAH BLAH BLAH" so if she has a memory that an important sim they KNOW died, how can she not KNOW the sim?
I guess 1 + 1 doesn't always equal 2!
3  Simmers' Paradise / Sims Stories / The Skye Legacy on: November 21, 2007, 07:45:10 pm
This is my first InSim story, and my first time posting a legacy story. And hopefully this will be the first time I make it past the second generation (I have a short intention span...) I'm also NOT good at taking pictures. So sorry for A) the bad quality (blame the computer!) and B) the sucky pictures. But, please, bear with me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Skye Legacy:



All alone, with nothing but 20 000 simoleons scrounged from my savings. Here I am, the founder of the legacy. Aren't I pretty?
Name:Aphrodite Skye
Aspiration: Family
LTW: Have 6 grandchildren
Stats: Sloppy/Neat - 4
Shy/Outgoing - 7
Lazy/Active - 5
Serious/Playful - 3
Grouchy/Nice - 6


And here's my hou... shack. Small, huh?

I did what any good founder does. Studied some cooking... got a job...

First day on the job. Why not try politics?
(I quit for a better job in science the next day)

I met a really nice guy, but he's married. Why is everyone already married?

A few days have passed. Nothing too exciting, but I did meet a cute guy at the club.

I asked him to move in, and look at the stuff that was just in his INVENTORY!

Just over 10 000 simoleons, tons of inventory, and a great job that pays over 2 000 a day, he's a great catch. Asking him to move in was a great idea! :smile: This is our new house.

I just had to ask him to marry me. I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else...

Look who got herself pregnant; Me! Looks like generation 2 is on it's way.
4  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Very odd sims... a graphic-related problem (I think) on: November 19, 2007, 06:13:39 pm
So my family just bought a new computer and we installed Sims 2, Sims 2 Uni, Sims 2 NL and Sims 2 Pets. I tried playing and my sims were doing strange stuff. First; at some times they would be walking and all you'd see is  their head and then about ten sim-footsteps away there would be a stretched-out blurry image of the body. Second; whenever they used the bath tub, there would be a blurry line, the colour of the sims' skin, stretching out across the screen. Third; very often, there's a strange cone like a spotlight expanding from the sims with the same blurry, skin-coloured type 'blob'. And once the plumbob went straight up through the floor (controlled sim was on first floor, was viewing second floor) and it was about four times fatter than usual. I don't know what's wrong. We un-installed everything, re-installed it, and downloaded a Sims 2 Pets patch. It seemed to be working fine, and then I greeted the mailman (who suddenly had strange black 'spots') and then my sim 'exploded' into a blurry flesh-coloured line again. Anyone know what the problem is? In every other aspect, as far as I know, the game is running perfectly fine, faster even then I'm used to. Oh, and the weird lines and stuff happen more often in high speed (3) than regular (1) or medium (2).
5  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Troubles with downloads not showing up... on: November 08, 2007, 09:24:38 pm
As of late I've been having problems with downloaded content not showing up in game. Both of which have been things that turn your sim into a vampire, if that helps or changes things. Anyway everything i've downloaded and un-zipped have worked fine until today when both of the vampire things didn't show up. Is there something wrong with vampire-related objects? And does anyone know any reliable sources for turning sims into vampires without the time-consuming task of sweeping downtown for a vampire? I'd really like to turn one sim into a vampire for a story I have planned.
6  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Is there a 'unlock aspiration rewards' cheat? on: November 08, 2007, 09:02:43 pm
As the title says, my question is: Is there a 'unlock aspiration rewards cheat'? Basically, a cheat like "boolprop unlockcareerrewards true" just it unlocks the aspiration rewards instead of career rewards. Is there a cheat? If not, could someone make possibly a hacked object that could unlock the rewards? Thanks in advance.
7  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / Strange Sims-related dream... on: October 27, 2007, 07:07:20 pm
So last night I had a dream that involved me, all my friends and my sister in the sims. But it wasn't the sims 2, we were too realistic. We looked like RL humans, just a little less realistic because it is still a game. And we were in Pleasantview, but again in was different. There were like three parts to it. There was main Pleasantview, there was uptown pleasantview (which was practically the same families and houses, to an extent, as the sims 2) and at the foot of the 'cliff'. The landscaping was very simmish.

The weirdest part was we all lived in one BIG house. The first floor was a strange café and the other floors on top were each respective person's 'house'. Another strange fact - I had a Halloween party (with everyone of the friends in the dream present) yesterday, right before going to sleep and having the dream.

So anyway, i met quite a few of the sims there, including becoming really good friends with the Pleasant family. Then, for a reason I can't quite recall, I ran away from our giant house and walked around ALL of Pleasantview, which is when I stayed at the Pleasant family's hosue and befriended them. While I was walking, I fell off the cliff and landed perfectly at the foot-of-the-cliff part of Pleasantview. But something scary happened there, unfortunately I can't remember what it was, and I headed back to my house.

This is going to sound crazy so sorry by childish question (hey, I'm only 13): Could I have seen into the future and seen the Sims 3? :happy8: :tongue8:

(as you may have guessed, Pleasantview is my favourtie Sims 2 neighbourhood)
8  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / RL University vs Sims University on: October 20, 2007, 02:41:18 pm
I have the feeling I put this in the wrong section of the forum, and for that I'm sorry.

Anyways, my question is: Is real-life University anything like what uni. life is like in the Sims 2 University? In general, mostly, but specifics are good too. Just wanna know. I'm weird like that. i ask lots of random questions. :happy8:
9  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Restarting Neighbourhoods on: October 13, 2007, 12:34:13 pm
So, I posted a thread before asking how to restart a neighbourhood and I think I finally understood what I have to do, but I can't find the thread! Anyways, I know you have to copy the said neighbourhood (My Computer> Program Files> EA Games>.....Res> Neighbourhoods) and paste it in the Neighbourhoods folder in My Docs> EA> Sims 2> then rename the neighbourhood and all the files in the folder. There was a link on the first thread to the website that you could download a file renaming program to do it for you. Anyone know where I can find it?
10  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / How to properly reset neighbourhoods - i need to know on: September 30, 2007, 07:37:05 pm
How do you properly reset a neighbourhood? I wanna reset my Pleasantview and redo the madness I created in a better way. :worship: Thank you in advance.
11  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Help with Preg for all Genders hack on: August 22, 2007, 04:43:12 pm
I downloaded the Pregnancy for all Genders hack from TwoJeffs. But when I tried making to males try for baby, the option wasn't available. The only options were kiss, cuddle, make out and woohoo: but no try for baby. What is the problem? What do I do? Thanks in advance.
12  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Lot Won't Load on: July 03, 2007, 12:05:13 pm
My legacy family lot in Pleasantview (far left, Woodland Drive) won't load. I left it loading for like a 1/2 hour and it still wouldn't load. I even removed the family, deleted it, bulldozed the lot, put a new lot there (no other space for 5x5 lot) made a new family, put the family in the lot, and it STILL won't load. Is it the lot bugged or something? Does anyone know why it's doing this and/or how to fix it? Please. I need help! Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Just tested and ABSOLUTELY NO lots are loading. Is my game corrupt? I'm going to go insane. Somebody please help. Quick.
13  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Game crashing on: June 25, 2007, 06:37:48 pm
I have a problem with my game. It keeps crashing at the loading screen (after the EA Games and maxis screens and after the slide show thing). It started crashing after I had just downloaded a bunch of mods/hacks so i deleted them. It still crashed. So I moved everything I had in my downloads folder (except for the stuff that's being used in game so it shouldn't be a problem) luckily there wasn't much because I only got the computer 2 days ago. Still crashed. I have deleted the groups.cache file everytime. I have the base game, uni and nightlife. PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance.
