Hiya! š Hmmm, five things that make me happy:
Thanks, anon! ā¤
things I probably shouldnāt do at 11:30 pm after I worked an 11-hour shift: attempt to replace the neighborhood terrain for Sycamore Cove
Or at least those who are as slow at playing as I am: do you ever reallyĀ stop to think about how long it takes for you to do a full rotation, or come back to the same family again? Iām playing the Bushby family at the moment, and my archive tells me I havenāt played their household since October. :O Crazy how time flies! (Or, I should say, crazy how slow I am at playing. :D)
Nothing major, but Iām trying to update/organize my links (such as tags, WCIFs, etc.). Iāve added an FAQ pageĀ (itās probably still difficult to find, since at the moment I canāt get my links bar to cooperate with me and the only way I could get it to show up is to keep it under theĀ āMiscellaneousā tab, but itās there). I also spent the evening doing a write-up on custom neighborhood/townie creation, since I get a lot of questions on that. So that link is underĀ āMiscellaneousā, too.
Just thought Iād give a heads-up in case I manage to royally screw something up here. š
Ack, I feel like Iāve missed out on so much over the last week or so! With work and last-minute holiday preparations and celebrating my birthday, I havenāt even had time to turn on my computer. (This may also be because my desk is buried in boxes and gifts that still have to be wrapped…)
Anyway, Iām off now for the holiday weekend so hopefully I can catch up on some of the posts Iāve missed. But just in case I donāt make it on here, I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy holiday! May it be filled with peace and love and Sims and whatever else brings you joy. š And for those not celebrating a holiday, I wish you a day filled with peace and love and Sims, too! For the holidays and all year round. šĀ

I was tagged by @knightsims! Thank you! š
The seven TS3 traits Iād have are:
Yes, Iām an adventurous couch potato. Iām an enigma. š (What can I say, I love exploring and hiking and visiting new places and trying new foods, but at the end of the day I want to be curled up with a book or Netflix. Or TS2. :3)
I was tagged awhile ago so Iām not sure who already did this, but Iāll throw out some tags for @biffysims, @san-myshuno-dreamin, @didilysims, @dramallamadingdang,Ā @shastakiss aaaaaaaand anyone else who wants to do it! Feel free to say I tagged youĀ ācause I like reading other peopleās answers. šĀ
A friend of mine plays TS3 and she has this crazy Harry Potter neighborhood where all sorts of drama and hilarity ensue, so of course I thought itād be fun to throw a bunch of HP characters into a hood in TS2 and see how it goes.
WELL.
āFor funā turned into me getting waaaaaayyy more invested than I originally thought (of course). To the point where I spent two nights downloading custom cc and spent hours in body shop making Sims, hair retextures, and even a clothingĀ rexture. And of course Iām nowhere near finished.

i was gonna make a joke about how the massachusetts candle probably smells like a drug deal in the dunkin donuts parking lot but then i checked and it legitimately smells like dunkin coffee iām doneĀ
does the jersery one smell like a fucking dumpster
link to the site if anyoneās curious about their home state!
*sniffs the jersey one* ah yes dumpsters and beaches
Ohio is corn
chocolate and molasses.
NorCal is pear, redwood, and vineyards. (Kudos to them for separating NorCal and SoCal.)
really disappointed Wisconsinās doesnāt smell like cheese.Ā Also Texas needs to be broken up.Ā My part of Texas needs more tacos and bbq than cotton and leather.
Alabama isĀ āhints of wet road fresh from a summer storm, magnolia, and peanuts,ā which all sounds legitimately great but Iām gonna need more red dirt and pine trees in there my dudes
Blackberries and BBQ? Nope. Mine needs a hell of a lot more āPsychotic redneck Trump voters, KKK, and Koch Brothers Owned Politicians.ā
āpine tree, hazelnut, and Oregon pearsā nah more like pine trees, rain, and mould
Connecticut: āvanilla, nutmeg, and apple orchard scentsā I guess? Idk where the vanilla comes from. Needs more autumn leaf smell. And income inequality, whatever that smells like.Ā
Me before clicking:Ā āIf the Maryland one doesnāt include Old Bay somehow, Iām slapping them with a glove and demanding satisfaction.ā
Maryland: hints of salt water and Old Bay.
Duel averted. Good job.
āmagnolia, honeysuckle, country jasmine, and Louisiana sweet potatoā
Expected magnolia, vaguely disappointed thereās nothing spicy, no idea how a Louisiana sweet potato smells any different from any other stateās.
āScent takes you back to the Land of Lincoln with hints of grain fields, violets (the state flower), and lake breezeā ??? They need a Chicago one, because thatās not what it smells like here. It should smell like Garrettās popcorn, chocolate, sewer, asphalt, and horse urine.
āAlaska: These scents will take you back to the good olā days in Americaās Last Frontier with hints of spruce forest, mountain air, and glacial meltwater.ā Fair enough, but I feel like itās missing important scents like diesel fuel, dead fish, and moose poop.
āLake Breezeā for Illinois is kind of vague. Ā Do they meanĀ ādead fish washed up on the shore and baking in the sun for two weeksā lake breeze?
South Carolina – āScent brings you back home with hints of palmetto, hibiscus, sweet tea, and sea breeze.ā I suppose that means you can only be homesick for the coast? Switch that to sweet tea and pine trees and youāve got the rest of the state.
New York: “Scent will bring you back home to the Empire State with hints of Adirondacks forest floor, apple orchards, and pumpkin.”
Ha, I wish! It’s nice and all, but what about the 8.5 million people (including myself) who live in the city? Needs essences of hot garbage, urine, and street food. :3
