Hiya! šŸ˜€ Hmmm, five things that make me happy:

  • my boyfriend (I know, I picked the obvious cop-out answer :3)
  • travelingĀ 
  • a good beer (especially sours, saisons, and wits <3)
  • blankets! I can never have enough blankets and I love to snuggle under ALL OF THEM
  • not having work

Thanks, anon! ā¤

Rotation players!

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? I’m playing the Bushby family at the moment, and my archive tells me I haven’t played their household since October. :O Crazy how time flies! (Or, I should say, crazy how slow I am at playing. :D)

Theme updates

Nothing major, but I’m trying to update/organize my links (such as tags, WCIFs, etc.). I’ve added an FAQ pageĀ (it’s probably still difficult to find, since at the moment I can’t 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 ā€œMiscellaneousā€ tab, but it’s 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 ā€œMiscellaneousā€, too.

Just thought I’d give a heads-up in case I manage to royally screw something up here. šŸ™‚

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Ack, I feel like I’ve missed out on so much over the last week or so! With work and last-minute holiday preparations and celebrating my birthday, I haven’t 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, I’m off now for the holiday weekend so hopefully I can catch up on some of the posts I’ve missed. But just in case I don’t 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. šŸ™‚ 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. šŸ™‚Ā

ā€œIf I was a Sim, what traits would I have?ā€

I was tagged by @knightsims! Thank you! šŸ˜€

The seven TS3 traits I’d have are:

  • Adventurous
  • Bookworm
  • Couch Potato
  • Family-Oriented
  • Loves the Outdoors
  • Night Owl
  • Overemotional

Yes, I’m an adventurous couch potato. I’m an enigma. šŸ˜› (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 I’m not sure who already did this, but I’ll 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 ā€˜cause I like reading other people’s answers. šŸ˜€Ā 

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 it’d be fun to throw a bunch of HP characters into a hood in TS2 and see how it goes.

WELL.

ā€œFor 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 I’m 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 i’m doneĀ 

does the jersery one smell like a fucking dumpster

@youarestillamystery

@tflatte, @deirdrearchleone

link to the site if anyone’s 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 Wisconsin’s doesn’t 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 ā€œhints of wet road fresh from a summer storm, magnolia, and peanuts,ā€ which all sounds legitimately great but I’m gonna need more red dirt and pine trees in there my dudes

Blackberries and BBQ? Nope. Mine needs a hell of a lot more ā€˜Psychotic redneck Trump voters, KKK, and Koch Brothers Owned Politicians.ā€œ

ā€œpine tree, hazelnut, and Oregon pearsā€ nah more like pine trees, rain, and mould

Connecticut: ā€œvanilla, 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 ā€œIf the Maryland one doesn’t include Old Bay somehow, I’m slapping them with a glove and demanding satisfaction.ā€

Maryland: hints of salt water and Old Bay.

Duel averted. Good job.

ā€œmagnolia, honeysuckle, country jasmine, and Louisiana sweet potatoā€

Expected magnolia, vaguely disappointed there’s nothing spicy, no idea how a Louisiana sweet potato smells any different from any other state’s.

ā€œScent 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 that’s not what it smells like here. It should smell like Garrett’s popcorn, chocolate, sewer, asphalt, and horse urine.

ā€œAlaska: These scents will take you back to the good ol’ days in America’s Last Frontier with hints of spruce forest, mountain air, and glacial meltwater.ā€ Fair enough, but I feel like it’s missing important scents like diesel fuel, dead fish, and moose poop.

ā€œLake Breezeā€ for Illinois is kind of vague. Ā Do they meanĀ ā€œdead fish washed up on the shore and baking in the sun for two weeksā€ lake breeze?

South Carolina – ā€œScent 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 you’ve 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
