this is so pretty, I really love it! You did a great job! All the trees around it really give it some kind of great ambiance i think

THANK YOU DEAR 😀 ❤ For some reason I just couldn’t build a cemetery and not use the willow trees. They have that sort of haunted, overgrown beauty? 😀

One thing I love about Tumblr compared to when I used LJ is not having to worry about my picture sizes at all, Tumblr just takes care of that for you and it’s sooo handy!! I don’t miss that!

Ah, I missed this comment in my LJ replies post! Oh well. 😛 But yes, you’re absolutely right! As much as I complain about tumblr, I didn’t realize how easy we had it, with the photo resizing and the themes and being able to edit only certain parts of the CSS if need be. Definitely a lot more customization- and photo-friendly!

When I’m adding new stuff I always run it through now. Got a good routine. Sort stuff into folders, rename the files using Renamer, then compressorize, then transfer to Downloads folder into correct sub folders. Wheee

Ahhhh this is such a good idea! I’m terribly lazy and unorganized and just stick everything straight into my downloads folder (it’s a miracle my game hasn’t exploded yet), but I want to try to be more meticulous about it. “Try” being the operative word. 😛

omg Dustin had an Arrow binge when he returned from Korea, except it was only what’s on Netflix and he was already in s3 by the time i was paying attention, so now i have the most random knowledge of things but nothing from pres3 and not even really who is who it’s awful i need a proper watch myself lmaoooo (I’m so behind on the Flash tho GAH)

Ahh you should definitely watch it! Seasons 1 and 2 were definitely the best so far, 3 was pretty good, I haven’t finished 4 yet but it’s mehhhh. I’m behind on Flash and Legends and Supergirl too. x_x I have so much free time and yet never enough LMAO.

And now that song is stuck in my head 😀 Also, a very beautiful lot!

Love The Smiths. Now this song is going to be in my head.

You’ve killed me with this beautiful graveyard! Can I live there

Hahaha, always much obliged to get a Smiths song stuck in somebody’s head. ;D Thank you all for your sweet comments! ❤

omg, your tags!

hahaha it’s true! My bf and I walked down to the cemetery to see Houdini’s grave once – the gate was already locked for the evening, but you can clearly see it from outside! Apparently people gather there on Halloween awaiting the day he finally returns :O

Whats the compressorize?

As per the program page here: it’s a program that “will allow you to compress package files in your downloads folder to smaller, more manageable sizes, freeing up space. (Thus making room for even MORE downloads for you download junkies!) On some computers, it also speeds up load time.” 🙂

come in here and help me

no you ate my pastina

afc-sims:

I’m not dead yet! I swear!

To prove it, here’s a WIP. I started designing this neighborhood a couple of days ago after being inspired by bonehelda‘s adorable Animal Crossing sims. It’s very loosely based on my own town of Orleans in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

It’s not very populated yet, and of course there are a dozen community lots I have yet to build (can you tell?), but it’s a start.

Some features I love so far are the train that runs through the town (I’ll be building the station soon), and the randomly placed fossils – for donating to the yet-to-be-built museum obviously.

afc-sims’ Questions:

1. What is your favorite historical period?
Why do you make me choose? I think I’d have to go with the 1950s, or anything mid-century, really. I love the music, fashion, design, etc. 

2. If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
Piano or violin. Alas, I was not blessed with any musical inclination.

3. What animal defines you the best?
Sloth.

4. Who’s your favorite superhero?
Iron Man! (But really, we all know I love a supervillain more.) 

5. Do you like to travel?
Yes. I only wish I had more opportunities to do so.

6. Which do you prefer: Android, iPhone, or neither?
Having been a member of the Blackberry, Android, and iPhone camps, I think I’ll pledge allegiance to the iPhone.

7. What is your favorite genre of movies? Of music? (double question!)
Hrmmm, good question. I don’t think I lean toward a specific “genre” of movies. I like a little of everything. My favorite movies range from Lord of the Rings to The Avengers to Lost in Translation.  I can appreciate a good movie regardless of genre. 😛 My favorite music genres include indie, folk, new wave, doo-wop, and traditional Irish music. 😛 

8. What’s the corniest joke you know? 
PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING DAD SAYS. “Dad, did you get a haircut?” “No, I got them all cut." 

9. If you could have any of these (but only one) which would you choose: fame, fortune, or good looks?
Merrrr. I suppose fortune. At least then I’d have money to travel and finally be able to afford an apartment in Manhattan…

10. Do you read your horoscope?
Nah.

11. If you could be remembered for anything, what would it be?
I suppose I’d rather be remembered for how I was as a person rather than any specific thing(s) I did. Mostly because I haven’t done anything of note… man, this question is hard. Damn you. 

threadandsandpaper’s Questions:

1. Describe your dream house.
An apartment in lower Manhattan. Ideally with lots of natural light (well, as much as can be expected from an apartment in the city) and some exposed brick. Or, like a dream dream house? A log cabin-esque home. Something like this. Nestled in the woods somewhere but complete with a teleporter to the city because I’m a city girl through-and-through and I’m not sure I’d ever be able to adapt to anything else. 

2. Cats or dogs?
I don’t really have a preference, honestly. I was never allowed a cat or a dog growing up so I think it’d be a great experience to have either one in the future.

3. What is your middle name and why was it given to you?
Elizabeth. My mom chose Elizabeth as her Confirmation name and then decided to give it to me as my middle name… I’m not sure if there’s any other significance to it besides that.

4. Has there ever been a moment in your life that felt more like a movie/tv than real life? What?
Ooh, good question. Nothing in particular comes to mind, sadly, but there have been many moments in my life where I’ve said, "I feel like I’m in a Seinfeld episode.” Because everything in life can relate to a Seinfeld episode.

5. Describe your favorite garment.
Well, it’s not one garment in particular, but I have an obsession with cardigans. I can never have too many of them. I need them in all kinds of colors and patterns, short ones and long ones, embroidered ones or plain ones. I wear them with everything. 

6. If you could wake up tomorrow able to do/make something that you can’t now, what would it be?
So many things. Play an instrument, speak another language, write a novel… crap, this makes me sound terribly unfulfilled. D: 

7. What is your favorite Holiday?
CHRISTMAS. Out of all the holidays, Christmas has my favorite family traditions. I love the whole Christmas season, actually. Yes, I’m one of those people who starts playing Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving. SUE ME.

8. What are your 3 favorite girls names?
Elizabeth, Victoria, Emily.

9. What are your 3 favorite boys names?
Thomas, James, Patrick.

10. Name a food that makes you think of/is your favorite for:
A celebration: Barbecue.
A lazy evening by yourself: Anything I can order via Seamless (usually Indian food, pizza, or sushi). 
Comfort food: More pizza. Or mac and cheese.
A romantic evening: Italian food and a carafe of Cabernet. 
Dessert: Apple pie. 

11. What question do you wish you had been asked (don’t answer it! just write the question!)
I honestly have no idea. I had a heck of a time coming up with my own questions. XD

slyndseysims’ Questions: 

1. What’s your favorite expansion pack?
Dang, this is hard! I utilize components from all of them, obviously, but I think the ones that make the greatest difference in my gameplay are Apartment Life and Seasons. 

2. What’s your favorite piece of content that not custom?
Clothing-wise, I adore this outfit from H&M stuff pack. As for furniture, the first thing that comes to mind is the EKTORP sofa from IKEA. 🙂 

3. Would you rather play a huge family or a single sim?
Huge family. I’ve done the single-Sim thing for far too long (especially having just started a neighborhood from scratch). I get bored very easily with one Sim – job-hunting, skilling, socializing, repeat. It’s too easy to make their lives perfect. I like the chaos and craziness of bigger families. 🙂 

4. If you had to live in someone else’s game, whose would you choose?
So many! I love the homes/neighborhoods created by so many Simmers, such as slyndseysims, allisas, vimpse, starlla, selenaq13, thorarosebird, poppet-sims, boolparty, and more! If I had to choose a game/neighborhood to live in relative to my own real-life interests, though, threadandsandpaper wins – she achieves the urban look that I’ve come to know and love from living in the city. Her apartments are the kind I dream about renting IRL. 

5. How do you feel about pets?
I love giving my Sims pets. 🙂 If there’s one thing I think EAxis nailed, it was the pets for TS2. They’re adorable and I love all the animations associated with them.

6. What do you like to do with your elders?
I’ve only played with a handful of elders, to be honest. 😡 I either get bored with the Sim/family before they get to that point, or I get too attached and make them regular drinkers of the Elixir of Life. 😛 I’m going to try ~really hard~ with my current neighborhood to allow my Sims to reach the ripe old age of Elder! (Especially since I’ve spent so much time collecting dang CC for them…)

7. What’s your favorite challenge? (Legacies, bacc, queen bees, etc)
Again, to be honest, I haven’t done many challenges. 😛 I’ve attempted a legacy before, but only made it to the second generation. XD I stopped it because I had to have my motherboard replaced and when I got my computer back, I started with a clean reinstall. I’d like to try it again, though! BaCCs sound super cool, especially since so many of my favorite Simmers are doing them, but I don’t have the patience to follow a ruleset at the moment. 😛 

8. Link us to the last cc you downloaded.
*checks download history* Ah yes! Michael Bachelor. ❤ I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired in my custom ‘hood atm (I blame that blasted university I’m working on), so I’ve been dabbling in the premade neighborhoods. I am quite in love with whattheskell’s Michael Bachelor. 😉 

9. What color scheme do you abuse in game?
Not so much a color scheme at it is a decorating scheme, but I overuse brick walls and wood floors like nobody’s business. (My own personal decorating desires manifest themselves through my Sims. XD) I guess I also tend to use a lot of blue, green, and yellow. I almost never use pink and purple because of my aversion to those colors IRL. D:

10. Biggest inspiration?
Other Simmers! Seriously, there’s a reason I have over 10k likes on tumblr. XD But aside from all of you lovely folks, NYC is my biggest inspiration. I’m always taking pictures of buildings I see or fancy restaurants I eat in or cozy cafes I frequent with the intention of recreating them in-game. 

11. Opinion on ts4?
Not going to lie, the latest video has me excited. 😀 Only time will tell! (And even when it is released, it’ll probably be awhile before I invest in it, if I ever decide to.) 

Thank you for the tags! ❤ I’m not going to be tagging anyone else this time, but if anyone reading wants to answer my other questions, feel free! Tag me in the post so I can see your answers. 😀Â
