my dl folder has tipped the 15GB mark again, oh boy. I blame all of the lovely seasonal clutter which is my Weakness. so I guess today’s mission will be trying to see if I can cull it down to 10!

when you’re diving headfirst back into one of your obsessions from ‘06-07 and the vast majority of sims-related content for it is also unfortunately from ‘06-07 :’)

I really want to change the terrain of Sycamore Cove and redecorate it to better incorporate all of the new hood deco that’s available, and maybe make it more condensed and cohesive? (Let’s be real, at the rate I play I will never fill up the terrain, so something smaller would work). I kind of want to rebuild a bunch of the houses/community lots too because I am insane but that’s besides the point. I just can’t seem to find a terrain to fit my ~very specific vision~
So I guess I have a general question, how difficult is it to create your own terrain in SC4? I’ve never played it before, but I’d be willing to mess around if there isn’t like a crazy learning curve. Any advice is appreciated, sorry I’m like this 😦
i miss my game so much ;_;
let 2018 go down as one of my busiest years on record (at least post-graduation lol)
It was cute when I said I’d have more free time after my friend’s wedding in June, right? 🙂 This has been a year of non-stop travelling for me – not a bad thing at all, but since I’m only off from work every other weekend, that means my weekends off have been jam-packed with trips and shows and other activities. I have almost too much of a life right now lmao
Weekend trips this year so far!
- Philadelphia
- Albany
- Savannah
- Chicago
- Vermont (camping!)
- Toronto this coming weekend
I’ll be off to Belgium and Amsterdam for a week in September (SO EXCITED, we literally booked it a few days ago and we leave in like a month lmao any recommendations are greatly appreciated as we’ve only researched the bare minimum, as usual), and Orlando for a weekend in November for our (seemingly annual) Universal Studios trip. 😛 It feels like the year has been flying by, and I guess it really has. :O (Downtime mostly spent watching the Yankees on TV.)
Anyway! Some quick pics from our Chicago weekend/Vermont camping trip/marathon Radiohead week. (Two shows in Chicago, two here in NY. And now that they’re almost done touring for now my life feels empty.)

Willis Tower sky deck! (Not pictured: me wanting to die. I’m terrified of heights and my legs were like jelly.)

Touristy picture in front of Cloud Gate/the bean.

Radiohead @ Madison Square Garden, night 1. Fun fact: I’ve seen Radiohead 11 times now I think, and night 2 in Chicago I FINALLY got to hear my favorite song live: Where I End and You Begin. *___* Another fun fact: night 1 in Chicago they played fucking BLOW OUT, which they haven’t played live in ten years. Bf and I lost our minds, we always joke about them finally playing it and we never once believed it would really happen.

Us city kids finally got away and got ourselves some nature for a weekend! Three nights camping in Vermont, mostly nice weather, practically no cell phone service (unsettling for bf, refreshing for me!). Kayaking on the lake, hiking, weenie roasting, enjoying some beers around the campfire. ❤

I brought my DSLR to Vermont, hoping to get some nice pictures of stars that I can’t get here in the city – was NOT expecting to get the Milky Way! An absolutely unreal moment for me. (Now, if only I can get into the habit of using my DSLR regularly instead of only when I’m on vacation…)
That’s it for this issue of random life update! I really do hope to get some play time in (maybe today?? do I dare hope??) I’ve been lurking on tumblr and enjoying everyone’s posts, feeling very inspired to get back to my own game (Sycamore Cove specifically!). I did notice a TON of new cc I need to download first, so lord knows that’ll probably happen before I even fire up my game again. Until then, take care all! ❤
me trying to cull/organize my downloads once and for all

damn my dl folder is back up to nearly 15 GB again
Anyway, yesterday was my eight-year anniversary! Bf and I celebrated by attending the grand opening of Nusr-Et Steakhouse in midtown, where we met Nusret himself! Better known as the one and only Salt Bae. 😀

(yes, he came to our table and cut/salted the steak
à
la the meme!)
ok that’s all for this edition of Random Life Update! back to browsing every secret santa/advent/christmas in july/etc thread EVER bc what I really need is more cc
me attempting a 3t2 clothing conversion for the first time:

(attempting to) stream
I’ve always wanted to do this, and I had so much fun at @holesoulsims’s stream yesterday that I finally worked up the nerve and started one HERE! I’m decorating the Grunt house and listening to some 80s music (I don’t have a mic at this time but if streaming goes well, maybe I’ll consider getting one). Feel free to pop in! This is more a test run than anything (and now you can see how indecisive I am when it comes to decorating).
the urge to sim is NEVER STRONGER than when you have something else to do
I literally use the same five pieces of clutter and I still can’t bring myself to delete any of the rest
