Old, Archived Dead Threads Graveyard 3

And so they yapped until they had company, consisting of Jenny, PT and Nervous Subject...







...and Nervous starts off on the wrong foot with Prah







...as well as Jenny & PT   



I don't burn my first meal I cook - which is mac & cheez   



Jenny becomes a bit of a stalker around Prah (no, seriously! She was wanting to admire him just about the whole time!  )

Now part of this, I can't show you since it has nudity in it, but um...Prah goes up to take a bath and comes back down...NAKED AS A JAYBIRD, and to do what? Wash the main dish that I'd cooked the Mac & Cheese in   

I got him dressed quickly (even though I have a hack that prevents sims from screaming when they see another naked sim :p), and soon dismissed our guests - Nervous was getting on my last 2 nerves pranking everyone in the household!



So the poor boy is so tired, he ends up on the couch instead of going up to his bed.



And then he gets up, gets another bath, streaks around the house, and eats the spoiled food, and then goes right back to sleep...in the buff   So, that's the end of this household, and now to go to the original test household I'd created.

Ok, you remember the original two that I created and had a few technical issues with and all that? Well, since I changed things around, I decided to play out their household for a day and see how things went.







(Yes, he's STILL talking about Craig Ray :p)























Yeah, I'm also getting used to using Fraps vs Gadwin, but Gadwin no longer works in-game unfortunately, and so I've got to remember to make sure that the character information is not visible and that, as you can see, not pointing at any sims to reveal their names :p

Most everything works fine. I had incidents the other day where it kept crashing when I was going through my clutter and everything so I removed all of it and it seemed to work fine, so it was something in that group that seemed to not agree with the game. I have put back some clutter and clutter that I've used before so hopefully I won't have any more problems. Tonight, I'll be working on house remodels because before I even play ONE HOUSEHOLD, I'm going to make them over and anything I need to do to any of the sims in that household in case there are some defaults that didn't go through or look weird because I'm noticing not all the defaults are working, or I didn't have a default for certain outfits, so...but thank you for your patience and there'll be more updates in the coming days.

Happy Holidays to you all!

Hello hello!  I know it's been a bit since my last post HERE *lol* But I'll share with you here what I've already shared on Tumblr over the past few weeks.

Well, to begin with, I made a new custom neighborhood - I chose the Viper Valley layout - and I aptly named it Mirror Valley. This is my first version of it; I kinda had to redo it after finding a couple of tech errors here and there I had to correct.





And so I thought about what to do regarding the residency and at first I thought I'd do a 3-tier system - I don't have any pictures right now, but the staring-from-college will be the - oh shoot, I seem to have forgotten the name currently, I apologize. The middle section would be named 'Modern Family' and the third for the wealthy would be 'Old Money'. I'll have pics of that soon; right now I'm playing my founder through college instead of staring him off the normal way you usually would. I'm adding a bit of a twist to mine   

But anyways, I decided to work on the Downtown area, and here's my layout of it:



And most of the lots I just renovated in some way or another; there are a few lots that I downloaded and put in - but you'll see that soon. Anyways, here's the tour of the first building I did - FKA Sim Bowl Lanes, nka...









Here's the second - FKA Landoste, nka...









The third - FKA Sims Gone Wired, nka...













The fourth - FKA Sim Center North, nka...









The fifth - FKA Red's 50 Diner (? - I think), nka...

The sixth - FKA Lucky Shack Card & Drink, nka...





The seventh - King's Garden, nka...













(Yes, I know this isn't a building in downtown, but I've been wanting to do something with it for a while now)

The eighth - FKA Here or There Grocery, nka...









The ninth - FKA Freetime Recreational Center, nka...











(And yes, I know this isn't a downtown building either :p)

The tenth - FKA Lulu Lounge (this version is by SariaDeea), nka...











(this shot right here is just to show off my decorating skillz :p)

And these are some of the downloaded lots I included in my downtown. This first one is from Parsimonious called 'Stark Clothing Emporium'











And the next two are from a simmer from LJ - who is now on Tumblr (like most of us) - named Mela that she used in a story she wrote called 'Simtopi'

This is an updated version of Club Dante from Bluewater Village. She upped this building to the 10th power and then some as far as I'm concerned >3 This is going to be my mixed club open to all - except for children - I never understood that really. I'm having 3 clubs in my downtown. My straight one is going to be the MissAdiaSims makeover of the Crypt O Night Club, which you can see here. I didn't do anything to it except take out that hideous tree and make the kitchen look like a kitchen instead of a low grade butcher shop or something like that :p











And this is Club Divine, her own design and this will be for my gay sims to play around in.











And that's the conclusion of my downtown tour. I actually have one more building to do - a gym - but that's moot, so...oh well! \o/

I am so far behind in everyone's game threads (and many others unfortunately), as always.
Here's hoping I can get caught up with at least a few of our members' antics this week...

A belated congrats on your new puter "Haf", Jean!   
I like that you have a list and are checking things off as you accomplish them.
Mine is ever growing, too.
I have a binder for all of my "to do" and completed projects, among other SP biz.
It helps me to stay somewhat organized, though I feel I could still improve upon my system.

I've posted these over on my Tumblr, since that's like the place to be nowadays...

I've been meaning to start a Tumblr account for Sugah's Place.
I know it's very popular. Elle runs our Twitter and Pinterest accounts.
I tend to the Facebook one and have a second Pinterest account for my own personal SP likes/faves, etc.
Perhaps I will make it a point to get that Tumblr one started in 2014!

Those babies and the precious ensemble they are wearing are just darling!
Congrats on your Multi PT hack working correctly. Yay!
I'm not big on using hacks much, but I know many of our active members can't live without some of theirs.

Aurora and Zexal have grown to be adorable children.
I like Aurora's hair.

About your fairy tale ... YES, it IS a neat idea!!! Very creative!   

Good luck figuring out your new Paint Shop Pro program.
I have my old PSP7 and am STILL trying to learn my way around it!   
I finally ended up buying PSP7 for Dummies and am such a dummy, I still haven't read through the book after all these years.   

I don't see small images terribly well, but from what I can see the twin house makeover looks nice. Good job!

I had a hard time following along with the tiny story images, too, unfortunately.
Sorry about that, Jean. It's not for the lack of trying. Promise!

Your downtown in Mirror Valley is lookin' good.
I like your Blue Balls Bowling   .
Been wanting to create a Bowling Alley myself and feel inspired by yours.
Will have to add it to my ever growing list of Sims things I want to accomplish in game...   

I like your many downtown lots, from the Karaoke Lounge to the Dice Roll Casino.
Good job on ALL! You sure have been busy, m'lady!!! Wow! That's a lot of work!

  

I like the lots you downloaded for your downtown, too.

Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to what you'll be working on next!

  

hi Miss Sugah! Yes, I have been pretty busy. I'm also starting another challenge, but I'll post that link elsewhere since it's going to be independent of what I have here. Thank you very much for your compliments! Take care of yourself! :D I'll have more soon hopefully! Probably some posts where my sims test out these lots and whatnot.

Aw, most of the pics are gone. You have some very creative ideas.

I'm a compulsive list-maker myself, so I highly approve of your to-do list. I'm not sure I understood half of it, but I approve.   

I've only done one challenge (asylum), to make myself break out of a tendency to make and play perfect simmies. I'm afraid I may not have a long enough attention span to play most of the challenges I've seen.

Hello cher and yes, I'm so sorry they are. I ended up having to change image servers because the one I was on changed to a PAID ONLY service and I was like "OMG! Nope! See ya!"

Oh have you? Well right now I'm working on doing a mock BACC and I've been getting things prepared for that. Hopefully I'll share some of that here with you guys since I've been negligent on sharing most of my stuff here - shame on me I know.

Aww! Well asylums are lots of fun. they were probably the first challenge I engaged in when I first got into the game and I've done 3 of them. I'll do another sometime soon; dunno when though, but keep an eye out. Hopefully I'll have more stuff up here soon. It is pretty empty now that all my old stuff has been abandoned.

That'd be great! We look forward to you sharing your Sim antics here once again.   

Jean, would you like to start a brand new thread for your Butterflyunion Productions, since there are no longer any images showing up because of the image server change?
I would be happy to close this thread down when you are ready to start anew?
If you would rather continue in this one, that's fine, too.

Just let me know either way!

Hi Miss Sugah. Yes, Please if I could start a new thread. I'd appreaciate that greatly. I wish you could delete old posts and whatnot though :p Oh wells.

I'll be back playing mmm...soonish...  

I can delete any posts in this forum, but it wouldn't pay to sift through all of yours as almost all of the images are gone, Jean.
I will lock up this thread and you can start another one anytime you're ready to begin sharing your Sim antics with us again.   

Hello, hello! I keep forgetting all the places that I'm connected to online and I need to be better in keeping connected to ALL of them just not one or two of them.

Let's see...where to begin - quite a bit to tell you all. Well, the first thing I started posting about was a Bachelorette Challenge for my newest heir for my Vega Legacy - which will be on Gen 4 when I start it again. Those posts are between my LJ and DW, but here's a banner and the links to it:


DW | LJ

From there, I did a short no-nonsense just for fun asylum:


LJ | DW

Also, I've been finding way to keep my game from borking and whatnot and I've learned about how to properly install EMPTY (not CLEANED) templates in for a completely clean game devoid of townies and everything! If you're interested, check here! The templates I'm using that go along with this tutorial are from here! Follow the instructions from the tutorial to the letter as it corresponds with these templates and you'll be a happy camper.

I've yet to start on this step because I'm trying to do everything I need to with the hood I've got (i.e. the backstories and other assorted things) before I I do my reinstall, but hopefully I'll get started sometime next month. Wish me luck ^_^v

Thank you for starting a new game antics thread in here, Jean.
You always have so much going on with your game.
I do not know how you keep up or ever finish a project/challenge sometimes!

Who is the dark haired beauty in the red shirt in the first and last images?
She's a lovely Sim.
Angel's a pretty Sim, too.

Love the Seventeen magazine cover!
I know Toni posted the link to the magazine (or was it a newspaper?) template, but I can't recall it now.
It's been awhile.

You sure do have a TON of stuff going on in your game, Jean!

I love all your princesses.
So many intriguing, attractive Sims!
You have such a terrific imagination.

This is so cool:



Love the guardians!

  

*blushes* Aww thank you Ms. Sugah. I am humbled by your praise. You wouldn't believe how many poseboxes, outfits and changed minds it took for me to pull all that together!   

Yeah, I've got enough, but just enough at the same time; however, it's going to be delayed a bit longer, because we've had a few power outages, and I'm afraid it might've damaged my hard drive, so I'm going to have to take my desktop in to be looked at and see if they'll have to replace it. It's within the warranty time though, so it'll be covered (I just got Haf back in november ^~*) and hopefully it won't take too long. I can still be online - I've got my chromebook - it just won't be any sim related stuff for a short time.   

I'm very excited to get these challenges underway :)

I'm excited to read about them. I hope there's nothing wrong with your computer.   

Howdy there Ms. Cher. Well Hopefully I won't make ya'll wait too long. How are you this fine evening?

I have no doubt!
I wish I had the patience for that sort of thing, but I struggle to set the stage to take snapshots of my CC recolors and downloadable Sims as it is.
Not my fave thing to do, to be honest, but I so admire the ability & tenacity in others to do so.

Sorry it took me so long to get back here. I have no complaints about life at the moment!   

I'm fascinated by the pose boxes, but afraid I'd get obsessed with finding all these perfect poses and then never get anything else done. Then I'd start feeling grouchy about not playing because I'd become too obsessed with taking pics.

Afternoon ladies. Sorry for the delay in replying to your posts, but um...I got my baby back last night and I got him plugged up but hopefully tonight if I don't have anything to delay me or another storm to roll through, I should get underway with reinstalling my games and then I'll begin the slow process of making sure my templates and everything are correct and then that's when the real fun begins.

Cher Well...I have probably 100+ boxes and it took me a bit - ESPECIALLY after learning the wonder of OMSP's! *-* - and I pretty much have 1/4 of the poses memorized - not to mention I keep a gallery of the images of the poses on my desktop so I can access them immediately - and I usually know exactly which boxes I'll need for the session I'm going to do but it does require discipline grasshopper   My brain is like a online photo gallery at times and it's always running about this that or the other especially when it comes to figuring out how I want to present something. You can do it! \o
