16  Simmers' Paradise / Anecdote Assistance / Re: Test Reader Needed: Plot idea for 'Suddenly Simmerised' Legacy on: January 04, 2009, 09:29:02 pm
Sorry I haven't gotten around to it yet - New Year and stuff. That's my excuse anyway! Well, I was on holiday.

Zorom, I am flattered! Of course you can advise me. The more, the better. I still haven't sent it yet - still compiling notes and stuff. If you want to PM me your email or whatever I can send to both of you via attachment.

I have this whole week free, hopefully, so it should be sent by then!

-EDIT-
I've sent it to both of you. Thanks for helping.

I've read both and although they are both good, this one draws me in more. I vote this story!

Hey I tried sending you a PM, but your inbox is full. Before I send it, do you want pics or no pics? It's readable without pics but not as shiny. Tongue
TIA.

I love this! Keep the chapters coming, I hooked.  rolleyes
And I'm glad you stayed on InSim!

From a beach house NOT built by me (I can't build) decorated a while ago with clutter everywhere! My absolute fav is the messy sewing room/office, but I love the living room too.

Hey. I am planning to update The Simons Legacy, but I'm feeling uncertain about the direction the story is taking. I need a second opinion. Or maybe more. I need advice without spoiling the story for other readers, because I think the idea is going to be quite pivotal to the entire story (even though it is a legacy). So: if anyone wants to help please post here and I will PM you, or PM me if you want.
There's a nice big plate of brownies and shiny story spoilers in it for you!  tongue

Hey Astral! Glad to hear you're still around. I had that same problem with my graphics a while ago, I think I may have fixed it by cranking up the paging file size, maybe. My graphics card was really crap, though. Like 168MB or something.

Woah, late reply. Sorry. If you still remember this after all the d-r-a-m-a. Really don't like drama. Ruins my day. But I digress.

I really love your choice for Alice's hair, she is pretty prefect.
Yes, Rosalie is a pretty high standard to try and capture. If you want, I could boot up bodyshop and try my hand at her. No promises that it'll be omgfreakingamazing though, since I don't consider myself at all creator-savvy or whatever.

Curly hair: search here and MTS2 with 'curly' or something to that effect. I did a while ago, and was happy with the results, sorry for no linkage (islazy) but it's not hard.

Edward - well... you could make his mouth a bit more frowny and his eyebrows a little thicker, and 'angrier'. Something about his hair is not right... too frizzy? Umm... yeah.

Jasper - I do like him! I think he's really well done. Just the right expression - he's supposed to be kind of scary and intimidating, closed off or whatever. The only thing you could add are maybe subtle scars so he looks more battle-scarred? But he's also supposed to be charismatic, so shorter hair and a slight smile might do the trick. I think, anyway.

Yes, they were! J/k. They were alright, actually.
Carlisle is just right.
Esme could look a little friendlier and homlier. I know she's supposed to be heart-shaped, but her chin could be less pointy.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, if you want any help making sims, I can help and you can do whatever you like with them, no need to worry about credit or policy or any of that. Cheesy
24  Welcome to insimenator.org / Rules, News & Announcements / Re: We can haz new site NAO? on: December 07, 2008, 07:28:14 pm
Thank you thank you thank you! I thought my story was lost forever... Sad
I'd saved most of the chapters but forgot to do one, and was really worried, but it's all there! Yayness!!  Cheesy
25  Simmers' Paradise / Anecdote Assistance / An idea... on: November 25, 2008, 07:15:13 pm
Are you sure you want really brutal criticism? Lol.
Consider changing the gold eyes - they seem a bit *too* penetrating
-Bella and Alice are really good!
-Rosalie could be prettier - since she's supposed to be the most beautiful girl in the world, pretty much. Maybe try sculpting her lips more, putting on some makeup and making her nose smaller.
-I think Emmett needs curly hair.
-Edwards' jaw should be slightly squarer
-Jasper's pretty good, actually, could add scars for authenticity, or not, they were barely visible in the books weren't they?

Anyway this is only based on my personal taste, and how I imagine them (I don't like the ones from the film). I hope I wasn't too mean! sorry, just being honest. Cheesy

Yep, bought Norton Anti Virus, and it says it's clear but it's a nasty virus and the internet is still not working. The prognosis is not good! Have to get someone more expert (no one in my family is very computer savvy) to look at it. Sad
27  Simmers' Paradise / Sims Stories / Suddenly Simmerised - The Simons Legacy - Chapter SIX up! on: November 25, 2008, 04:59:21 pm
Woo! Exams are over and I am freeeee. Thank you for all the comments. I will *try* and get a new chapter up, but the world is working against me. My PC has a virus that affects the internet (thankfully not sims though!) so I'll have to transfer the pics onto the laptop and then upload them. So I'm not completely deprived but I can't download any custom content, and it's quite possible the entire harddrive will have to be reconfigured or whatever! And we only have a 4GB usb stick, which is just my dowloads. I'll find some way to save my sims...
28  Simmers' Paradise / Apartment Life Help / Error Logs Help! on: November 10, 2008, 09:29:08 pm
I am still having the same problem. First it crashed when I was on a custom beach lot (the smaller ones) and I thought that was the problem. But when I was on an apartment lot, it crashed again. Though this was a dowloaded apartment.
Every time it's the same error log: 'Sims 2 Exception' bla bla bla... And something about ACCESS_VIOLATION.
I posted the error log I got on the beach lot at Reflex, but it wasn't any help. It can't be my RAM, I have 3GB which is sufficient.
I do have all of my CC installed, apart from hacks. There are no hacks in it at all.

So... What now?

Awesome update!
"...I’ll make you forever curse the day your mother met your father!”
LOL. Go Lily! She has so much on her shoulders. Poor little Aidan too, but I'm glad he has friends and Lily is fiery. Wink

Thank you steelguy, 2B, Astral, vinhou, oties and vickylou! Sorry, been really busy with RL things lately. It is exciting Kit's having her first baby! This is where my tolerance of maxis furniture crumbles... I can't stand the nurseries. So I used a custom one. And no, the title isn't because Kit had twins. Wink

It was October when I took the pic of the pink truck - courtesy of Sugah's Place - it's just to show my small contribution to Breast Cancer, though it's a bit late now!

*important*
After this chapter I won't be updating for at least two weeks - I am now on study leave and have exams until the 25th. So I'll be staying off Sims and forums. If you see me on, yell (well, write in caps!) at me to get off and go study, as I have no self control and get bored easily with studying, but I have to do it. Cheesy


----------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Six: And Then There Were Four...

“Surprise!” my perfect hubby yelled. I opened my eyes, and squealed in delight. A car! And it was in my colour…! Well, not exactly, but close enough. No other pixels I knew drove a candy coloured truck. It was the perfect preggy prezzie.


It was all a very new experience for me, being … er… Pregnant? Is that what you can really call it…? Actually, it was more of a pain in the neck. My back to be specific. Who knew carrying some little pixels could be such a strain?


There was also the embarrassing bladder issue, which cropped up at the most inconvenient times. Such as when the toilet is farther away than you'd like and certain husbands' friends are standing right in front of you.


All in all, it was shaping up to be a very human-like pregnancy. Big Mac cravings included. I like Big Macs, but eating them morning and night has somewhat diminished their novelty.


Yet there were times when I thought I felt a little kick and it made me forget all the pains and cravings. I was happy also that this was Amar's baby and not beak-noses'.


Spaking of our father, he was over the moon, and I was sure he'd make an excellent father. Plus he didn't care that I was in pyjamas 90% of the time and that my stomach had expanded to epic proportions. He really was perfect...


He'd also outdone himself by decorating the nursery, with the help of my excellent furniture choice, of course. We didn't have a budget - Amar's recent promotion netted us a VERY nice sum of money, but we weren't starting renovations yet (ESG's taste was much to be desired), at least not until after the baby was born.


I discovered Benjiman hadn't completely left us either. I couldn't get rid of his gravestone, and he paid a visit to our fridge one night. I felt kind of sorry for him.


That was until he decided to play a more active role in the family.


In fact, Benjiman's little act of mischief sent me straight into labour. Brilliant. Amar wasn't so great at the supportive part. He said I was incoherent. What part of screaming "GIMME SOME DRUGS!" did he not understand?! Suffice to say, I was wishing at that point that I hadn't gotten myself into this. They don't have painkillers here. But the pain was real.


What was that about pain? Ah, it doesn't matter. Not now that I have a beautiful son. He looked exactly like me. I named him Dexter, because he looked smart. And I can call him Dex for short.


After Dex arrived, I fell into a mundane routine.
1)Clean the house meticulously, including the disgusting toilet. The very sight makes me nauseous.


2) Feed Dex, put him into bed,


3) change a million diapers. I struggled a little with that part. I had called in sick to work just to take care of little Dex, but I was starting to prefer work over this!


And yet, Amar still had time to be a typical man.
"Want to try for another baby?"
"Ah, one's enough thanks, hun."
But he couldn't be pursuaded other wise.


He should be sued for being indecently seductive.


I was definitely pregnant again. For one thing, I was fatter than I usually was. Usually I'm fat, but not that fat. I was happy to be expecting, but the euphoria didn't last long.


The back pains had started again.


And the ridiculous cravings for big macs. I thought if I ate another one I'd be sick... Apparently not.


All of this plus looking after Dex definitely took the shine off being a housewife. As soon as this one's born, I'm going back to work! Why should Amar get to cook all day and all I get is a screaming baby and dirty nappies and bottles all over the floor?


Finally, Dex grew up, though I'm not sure which is worse. Screaming baby, or a mobile toddler? Hmm, at least he can be toilet trained.


This time around, Amar wasn't at home, so I was screaming to myself about the stupidity of going through the pain again. Why did I do it, why?


It must be some sort of amnesia. As soon as I looked into my new baby's little green eyes (yet another mirror image of me - I have very dominant genes) I forgot all about the pain and suffering and fell in love with the newest member of the Simons' family.
