Old, Archived Dead Threads Graveyard

The turn on's TJ and Charles have is what each other has.

TJ-Muscles and facial hair. (Charles)

Charles-Glasses and facial hair (TJ)

The very first ones never got married. Charles just moved in with TJ. That was before I found the "same-sex" marriage hack.

Even now, with the two bolts, they sort of hang around each other. Sometimes, Charles does wonder off on his own. They do have an admiration for each other. The one picture proved that. They are not engaged or married.

The very first ones were surgically joined at the hip. Drove me nuts. But, they were the funniest. I honesty don't remember what aspiration I gave them.

I think the chemistry thing is total randomness.

This one is pretty good........Think I'll leave well enough alone and move him in.

This is TJ's

Way too many different shades of blue..........

AAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!

We're definitely having one of our "great minds" moments, dahling!

Oh, Ed! I love it! The bedding and recolor of the armoire ... not to mention your couch pillows ... great work!

There's a story behind those pillows..........

I was totally stuck on finding textures for the pillows. So, I made a thread over at Black Pearl asking for a few idea's.

Well, someone suggested instead of looking for textures, look for Pop-Art or Art-Deco pictures. Off I went to art.com and found a few. There's more but I didn't use them. The first pillow is a red racing car on a black backround, the second one is the top of the Empire State Building. I think. The third one I already had.

Remember Ringlan's sister Istottan?


She's started a beauty saloon.


At first it didn't allways go that well... But she's such a good salesperson so she managed it anyway.


She hired this girl, can't remember her name...


Now the business is going really well.






She styled her grandfather James Bond.

However do you come up with all these unique names, Cajsa?

I don't know... I don't want serious names on my sims so I just take the first that comes in to my head.

I really love reading about your sims families. Thanks so much for sharing them here. Always makes me smile.

I love those pillows and the way you decorated the bedroom. Really great work, as usual.

I agree with, Elle. Cool photos!
Some of those makeovers were a bit scary. Egads!
I'm glad her grandfather's new "James Bond" look turned out well.
No doubt, with a bit more practice, Istotten and her crew will get it down.

Thank you for sharing, as always, Cajsa. Fun stuff! :wigglypig:

You know, Ed, many of my walls were art inspired, like your pillows.
I used to pull from abstract & geometric art often for my wall collections.

It's a great idea, actually, for pillows & accessories, too.

I think that is the point I was making. You practically have to peel triple chem Sims off of one another non-stop!

Quote :

I'm not entirely sold on this idea.
I think it has to do with a combination of these things:

• Astrological Sign - eg. Aries are attracted to Gemini/Taurus & repulsed by Cancer/Libra

• Turn ons

• Turn offs

• Aspiration

• Personality - The more similar the personality is the more attracted they are.

Incidently, whoever came up with the description and compatibility of Sims Astrological Signs SERIOUSLY had NO CLUE for the most part!!! :cuckoo:

Hello and welcome to travellerp's tavern, grab a drink and packet of crisps and take a look around at some sims 2 stuff that proberbly should never have been shown :giggling:

Mainly i like to create gardens and landscape lots, but i am learning new things and tring to do new stuff over time so you will see a few things in my album :)

First off is a red garden i did for a contest:















Sorry for the snow in the background but other than that i really hope you all like :)

"Travellerp's Tavern" ... I like it!
First of all, thank you for starting your own little Sims album here, at Sugah's Place, Raven.
I hope you'll post in it often to share what's going on in your game.

"A Red Garden" contest sounds intriguing. Landscaping is NOT my strength, so I never would've been able to compete in this sort of contest.

I like the basket/fencing surrounding your trees. Did that come from an EP/SP or did you download it?
Also, that ladder with the plants on it and Pleasantview sign ... very cool ... and same question ... where'd'ya get 'em?

That red siding (I believe it's from Seasons) would look pretty on a red barn-style house.
I created some recently, cause I don't have Seasons and wanted something just like it (here).

Good job on this lot ... OH! If I may give you some advice that was given to me when I first started taking screenshots to share ...
Always make sure you are not in BUILD mode, when taking snapshots. It will insure those distracting grids will not show up.

That's true! That's why I had to start over on my Duggar challenge. My first couple wouldn't have any problem with the baby making part, but they were way too into each other to take the time away from each other to take care of a bunch of little ones.

I don't see Barty and Sunny as being the all over each other types, so 1 bolt would probably be right for them.

Exactly, Em!!!

~*~

Okay, back to Sugah's Sim Antics ...

I had an opportunity to play a bit last night (before I almost fell asleep at the puter AGAIN).



Sunny is aging more quickly than I'd like & may not have many days left. So, I have her taking the Elixer of Life.
Not sure which direction I am headed with these two and if they'll move in with one another or not.
Sunny could never survive in such a drab, dismal environment as Barty's beat up old ramshackled place.
And Barty would go blind in Sunny's bright, colorful, vibrant environment.

Stay tuned...

Sugah -

You've created one of my most favorite Sims EVER in Sunny. She's beautiful, quirky, smart and so full of life.

She would be PERFECT as a Basic Elder model......... ;)

:lol!: Thanks sugah glad you like the name, wanted something a bit original and creative for my title :laughinclappin

And i will post as oftern as my time allows.

It was a lot of fun, for the life of me though i cannot remember who won, i dont look at that sort of thing, just like taking part.

The fencing around the trees did come with an ep i think it may have been seasons but dont quote me on that.
The ladder with the plants came with mansion i think and im pretty sure the pleasentview sign is a download(one of my faves) next time i go in game i will see where i got it for you ;)

I agree it would look great on an old style barn type house and your slidings are wounderful!!! They look more reilistic than the masis ones will have to download for my game :)

This was done a little while ago and since then i have been given tutorials to trake better pics, which hopefully i do, but the grids and snow in the background was really annnoying with these pics as over than those i think this garden is quite good :D

Thanks for commenting sugah

I think it looks like a converted barn. I love that style. It's a great lot and you're right about Sugah's walls - they're always perfect. They look perfect on the tavern.

Very lovely place and very lovely pictures.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for your comment hunter (nice to meet you by the way).

Im glad you love the house i think these were the best red walls i had in the game and went well with the garden

Thank you for the lovely compliment, Hunter. But I'm thinking the walls on Raven's house are part of the Seasons EP.

Awesome, Raven! I would love that.

Awww...thank you, Hunter.
I've grown quite fond of Sunny myself.

She truly is quirky and has such a joie de vivre. I love that she isn't put out by Barty's crabbiness and just keeps rollin' with stuff.
They're fun to watch.

Sunny writes restaurant guides in her spare time. She earned $2461 (and believe me, she was down to her last $100 Simoleons & needing it), for writing this one.

I have my sims do this to :D i swear i have so many sims with the secondary pleasure aspiration just because of the is feature :giggling:

And i agree sunny is one lovely sim, very, very nice glad you had time to play and show, even if you did fall asleep at your computer

I guess I haven't had a Pleasure Sim since I installed FT, Raven. It's not one I normally pick for my Sims.
But now that I know earning extra money for restaurant guides is part of their charm ... I just might choose the Pleasure aspiration more often.

I tend to fall asleep at my puter a lot lately. :java1:
