crappy heading, I know...

I've gotten a few requests on continuing my story Anna's Diary from one of the children's point of view - and I have no ideas to start with.

Anyone that has got a good idea for a few happenings in the new story? I appreciate everything that gets my head up and running

I posted this story a few months ago on sims2community, but... whatever... I'm posting it here, too

It's about Anna who meets both happiness and sorrow in her troubled life.

to say it like this: - you don't know life until you've experienced it on both good and bad...

CHAPTER 1: what's wrong with me?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear diary
My name is Anna. I found this web-page where you can write about yourself, you know, something like a diary that other people can read. So hello, everybody! I’ve been looking for something like this all since I started university two months ago, and I’ve given the address to all my friends at home. I don’t know anybody here yet, except Tiffany. She’s my best friend here, and we share a room in the apartments the school rent out for students. If you wonder, I’m studying maths, English and science, and all of those geeky classes. Maybe I may seem a bit geeky to all of you that don’t know me, but I’m not. Well, I like schoolwork, and I always try to do my best, so maybe I’m a bit geeky. Just maybe. Well, since I’ve got a lot of homework, I have to go back to it now, but stay tuned. I’ll be back!

“Are you finished with the computer, Anna?” Tiffany asked. “I’ve got loads of homework, and I need to use the internet.”


“Yes, I’m finished. I’ve got a lot of homework, too, but mostly maths, and I don’t need the computer for that.” I rose from my chair. Suddenly, I felt really dizzy, and stumbled into the desk.


“Are you all right?” Tiffany asked.
“I think so. I’ve just been feeling dizzy a lot lately. It’s nothing to worry about, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure? You’re pale. And you don’t look too good. I think you need to go see the doctor, or at least lay down.” Tiffany felt my forehead. “And you’re burning up! Go to bed right now! You should skip school tomorrow. You’re sick.”


“No, I’m fine. It’s just hot in here.” I didn’t tell her anything about my stomach being all in an uproar, that my head that was about to explode, and that I felt near to fainting.
“I’m sure it’s just the flu or something, but you need to lie down, Anna, or you won’t get better.”


Tiffany supported me towards the bed, and I lay obediently down under the soft and warm covers, while I tried not to think about all the homework I was supposed to finish.


I really did feel tired, and I’d had troubles concentrating all evening.


I curled up under the covers, and fell asleep almost at once.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke when I heard Tiffany getting herself ready for school the next morning.
“Why didn’t you wake me? I have to go to school!”
“You need to sleep. You’re sick, and the last thing you need is to do maths all day. Just try to get some sleep. I’ll tell the teacher you’re sick.” Tiffany took her shoulder bag and left the room.


I got up as soon as I heard the door lock behind her, but getting ready for school turned out to be harder than I had thought it would be.


The dizziness almost overwhelmed me, and the breakfast went right in the toilet after I had tried to eat it. I went to school feeling worse than ever.


I ran into the classroom, breathing “sorry I’m late” to the teacher, and sat down.


Tiffany gave me a look that said “Get to bed, or else…” when she saw me, but I didn’t care. We had an important test that day, and I didn’t want to miss it.


In the middle of the class, however, I knew that Tiffany had been right. I should definitely have stayed in bed. My concentration was at a minimum, and when I looked at the paper, the numbers seemed to jump around, almost like they were mocking me.


I blinked several times, and whispered to them that they’d better get to their right places, but they didn’t seem to hear me, and continued jumping around. They grew, and suddenly, one of them, number 8, jumped to the floor, and started dancing in front of me. I blinked. This wasn’t right. Something wasn’t right… something… the thought slipped from me. I had to go to bed. I was tired.


I looked down. All of a sudden, the floor did a sort of twist, and tipped up to meet my face.


My chair fell over me. A large number 5 ran over to me, yelled something to the others, and tried to lift me. Then someone turned off the light, and I could remember no more.

does anyone know why these things happen? they never happened before I got BV anyway. (and I have some hacks installed, so some of them might be the problem)

1: when sims go to bed, their covers turn weird and their legs go through it (see pic 1). it usually fixes in double beds when a couple is holding around each other (pic 2).

2: whenever my simmies try to read, a jump bug occurs (with error warning)

3: on vacation lots the adult sims gets error warnings every time, and one of them started floating in midair whatever I did with him (like sunbathing, building sand castle and getting from A to B). (see pic) they also had some troubles with swimming (jump bug/error). this at least happened the last time I used a vacation lot, though not the first time I tried.

4: and jump bugs often occurs when they are trying to use a camp fire (the one from BV)

5: and the taxi also dissappeared when they were trying to get into it (see pic)

I appreciate any help

(before anyone asks - no, I don't have patches for any of my games, and I have all ep and stuff packs except the 2006 christmas pack)

...you know what to do...:happy8:

some might look like the ones I've made before, but they're a lighter version. it's just the light in my game that makes them look alike because of the outdoor light .

Read this before downloading:
1. NO additional meshes needed, since the mesh is "built in"
2. REMOVE all other infant outfits - both recolors and meshes - or they will conflict with these ones. Put only ONE of the outfits in your downloads folder
3. The graphic setting SIM/DETAIL must be on high for the outfits to work correctly.
4. Put this in you Downloads folder (or defaults folder if that's what you use)
5. The clothes override the diaper and works just like the maxis diaper. They go off when you ask a sim to bathe the baby or change its diaper.
6. ALL infants will wear the outfit you choose - both girls and boys

here's the fifth bunch of clothes (and yes, there's more to come )

this is the toddler blue coats refitted for infants, and also recolored.
one thing, though. I've fixed the stripes so they are grey (like on the original)instead of very colored, but I've not taken new photos of them.

the pictures are named after the files...

hey! here I am again, carrying a stock of christening dresses (or white dresses, if you prefer that )

one with a blue bow, one with a pink bow and one with a white bow. the other two doesn't have bows, and can be used for regular white dresses (one of them with panties that are supposed to be "see through", one with light blue socks).

and thanks again Bloom, for these wonderful infant meshes!


I've been quite busy with schoolwork lately, so I haven't had the time to test these, so if there's any problems (texture/other things), please tell me about it here.

I was wondering if anyone might help me with something. I'm currently writing a sims-story, but now I need an infant to behave like a toddler (like learning him to walk/talk, and such).
I've seen pics of this (or similar), and I know how to make lets say a toddler behave a child or an adult behave a toddler - but I have never managed to do anything like this with an infant.
I hope someone might help me with this.

(I don't know if this is the right place to put this question, but its late, and I'm tired )
