Old, Archived Dead Threads Graveyard 2

How in the world did I get so behind in here?

Okay, where to begin...

Dragon Slayer is my real identity, Sir Jackie is my alter ego.

I totally believe that about you, good sir!
I sooo had you pegged for a knight in shining armor who could single handedly save damsels in distress from fire breathing dragons.

Wow! That is so cool that you keep your sims so well organized.

And thank you for your wonderful devotion and ongoing support towards Sugah's Place.
We appreciate you downloading our Sim models & sharing them with us always.

Saber, Sani and Linda are all so dear.
I really enjoyed the pics of the happy, loving couple with eachother and their precious baby.
I can't wait to see Linda as a toddler and watch her grow.
Do you let your adult Sims grow old and die, Jackie?
So many Simmers have a hard time with letting their beloved virtual people pass on.

... that I started with Sim's, was because I bought the sim's 1, to my daughter "The Double deluxe edition" and installed that for her ... and I was stuck ...

That is precisely how I started playing, my friend.
I bought the game for my daughter in autumn of 2000, several months after the original Sims was first born.
My youngest daughter taught me how to play back then and that's all it took.
I, like you, was hooked on the Sims.

Don't quote me on this, but your Michelle could either be Russ' or Hunter's. I am not sure at all on that.
The red head (Kat?) could be one of Jen's, but again, I simply am not certain.

Thank you for giving lonely, lost Sugah Sim a home, dear man.
I appreciate you saving the poor girl.

This was fun!
I enjoyed seeing what's been going on in your game, as always.

I rarely use the maxis categories now, esp. for decoratives because guess what?....They are so CLUTTERED!

Oh my gosh, we are too much a like girl. I just got some new icons so that I can try to reorganize my treasures...

I just discovered that nice little desk set the other day even though it has been out for a while so don't feel bad

, too, love the tiny lots from MTS2.
My tiny Think Pink Victorian is on a 1 x 1 lot, but don't quote me.
I love all of your fabulous screenshots, too, and the landscaping.
You are blowing me away with your gorgeous snapshots, especially.
I agree with Ari. They look so professional.

I am pretty sure it is and it is such a beautiful tiny lot too my friend!

I am getting to where I only want to build on them as it is such a challenge and so fun...

Thank you so much for the very, very gracious and kind compliments about my snapshots.
I have really been playing around in GIMP more and I love some of the photo effects that it offers. My favorite one is the softglow effect. It is a lot of trial and error on photos at times :)

i look back on some of the very first photos I posted here and eeegggadddss!!

Your quirky Moria is such a unique Sim.
She's really rockin' that lip piercing and cool ensemble.
I love her gorgeous blue eyes.

Aww thank you! I do love her, she has an awesome and quirky personality for sure..

Quote :

The writer's corner is SIMply stunning.
I truly do not know how you do it!
If I had just a fraction of your decorating skills, my recolor snapshots would be so much more impressive.
I can't begin to put a room together like you (and Toni) can.
And again, the screenshots of your work are just awesome, Jen.

Oh thank you so much my friend *blush*
I just love decorating and it is my stress reliever believe it or not.
I have to make myself stop from over cluttering though...

Here's a little sneak peak on a bedroom I am working on :)

Lovin' that shabby chic look Jen! That's right up my alley. Am I and my lived-in-look tastes rubbing off on you?!

Pretty bed and bedside tables!

Aww thanks Toni...

I love that bed and the side tables too....this is the first time I have used them in a home :)

It's beautiful Jen, I love this Bedroom... you have the best ideas

Do you mean Phantasy Star? I played Phantasy Star 2 and Phantasy Star 4 for the Sega/Genesis a lot! I had a lot of fun with those.

I always played the barbarian in Diablo 2, also. I liked the amazon, but I could never get past the jungle with her. With the barbarian I could finish the game. He's awesome. I always dual wielded long swords and had a lot of points on his 'leap' skill. It's amazing how far he could jump - it was fun to jump into a horde, slash, slash, slash, then jump out again, lol. Did you know you can heal your hired bowmen? I didn't find that out until the last time I played. You can put potions on her portrait - it helps keep her alive longer, at least.

I'm very much looking forward to Diablo 3. It took them a long time to announce the final class - Demon Hunter. I was all set to play a female barbarian, but when they announced this one - I think I'll try her first. My hubby will want to play the barbarian, so we'll probably do better this way.

Wow!! That is so awesome and cool that you play all of those games..

I would like to think that I would be a dragon rider too or maybe some kind of elf :)

I only manage to play Sims and every once in a while I will play someting on the Wii with my nephew or godson.

I think that the red head Kat is one of mine :) I cannot remember what name I gave her.

Oh that was so sweet of you to give Sugah Sim a home and it is a beautiful home at that.
I need to be as orgainized as you are in your game. Toni and i were just talking about that very thing the other day. I am trying to get better about it but you sir have me beat by a long shot!

Oh baby Linda is so precious and cute, I cannot wait to see what she looks like as a toddler. Her momma and daddy have wonderful bone structure and genes.

I started out watching my friend play Sims years ago but never got into until this last year or two,I loved watching her build the houses (she does NOT use CC, just Maxis stuff) and play the families,

I look forward to seeing what you have up next~

Thank you so much Sir Jackie...you are too kind.

I love trying to recreate stuff out of magazines or other places I get ideas.
I am still trying to learn how to build better homes with all of the cheats but yikes!

All it takes is practice, but time consuming.

Thanks sweetie for the encouragement. I do get frustrated at times.

There are some good tutorials out there and even a few good videos on You Tube.
Patience is NOT one of my strong suites. I just want to be able to do it the first time even though that is not going to happen...

Maybe one day soon though

Well, from what I've seen, I think your houses are awesome. You have brilliant color schemes - loving the way you set this room up. Let's see some more.

What Ari said!!

Aww thank you both so much Ari and Toni...

You are so sweet and I appreciate your encouragement so much..

*hugs*

I´m too trying to build better homes. I think if you like what you are doing then the houses, or whatever you are doing is getting better and better.

I like your homes especially those small ones. Keep em coming!

A big hero needs a big hat

Toni; Do you play all these games at the same time Jackie?!

Yes my girl, I play them all, some just sometimes but yes I play them all

She was over from my try to restart La femme Project, but it crashed, and now the family is Npc's in Driftwood, I seen Em to but this time I ask her to move in and gave her a home, poor girls and Russ are Npc's

Yes that is what I mean! best game ever... sorry it is to old to play now, but in those days... it was a keeper!

Yes the barbarian was good, I liked him, I never had any problem to survive with the Amazon, but with the others.... (not the barbarian) No I did not know that... but it was good with the expansion, then one could change armors and bows on her, also give her new life, with the portrait ... I think ... but I did not know one could do that in the base game ... there one ... or me; just have to watch her die, and that was hard ...

Jen

Sorry If I forgot someone ...

My son had installed an emulator on my computer so I could play Phantasy Star2, and The Shining Force - another one I played a lot on my old Genesis system. It was cool to be able to play those games again, right here on my own computer. If you're interested, I can ask him about it, but I have no idea how to work them. I had to have him set it up for me and teach me how to use it - he's good at that kind of thing, lol.

I agree with everything everyone else has said already. Fantastic job. All of your rooms look great. You've got a talent for putting them together beautifully.

Very cool Jackie. What game is that with the biiiiig hats?

Uli and Em

Thank you both so much!!

I appreciate the lovely feedback and your valued support most of all.

I am trying to build a split level house and it is about to make me pull my hair out...lol

There is so much involved in it but I think once I figure it all out it will be good ;)

I love that bedroom ... SIMply beautiful, dahling!
You have a gift, I'm telling you!

I decided to do a little experimenting this evening and I was quite happy with the final product. I have seen several people make window seats and I still haven't figured out how to do that one yet...lol

I did get some great ideas and made my own bench with lots of pillows cause I love them...






I am also working on an Art Deco house. It is my absolute favorite period...I love the clothes, the music and the movies of that era.
I built an Art Deco house back when I first signed up here and since then my old computer crashed and I never got around to building a new one.
This furniture and the wallpaper are just too gorgeous not to use....






Well that is all of now...I think I am trying to over achieve right now..hehehehe

OMG! I am loving the window seating area! And I'm a pillow lover too! That's just gorgeous Jen!

Thank you sweetie...

I used six of those end tables with the bool prop cheats on ;)

I know they won't sit on it but I still like it :))

It's a fabulous idea!

Half of the stuff in my simmies' homes are purely for ambiance. This configuration also means that you can rest stuff on the 'bench' which is also a very realistic look. Don't we all leave stuff on the sofa?!
