Computer woes, Tumblr apocalypse and all that jazz

Broken computer parts

moudschegiebchn said: Things always seem to break when you at least need it. A broken graphic card while working on your Bachelorarbeit – the horror. D: I hope you can get your PC up and running again soon. :3

Eh, it works for now. But I still want a graphics card that can handle my high-quality snow…

WTF tumblr staff?

meetmetotheriver said: Not just you. A quarter of my posts were flagged too, most of them completely innocent and only depicting normal TS2 gameplay. Good work, Tumblr. Idiots.

Ugh. How unnecessary. It’s not just that they completely overdid it to solve a problem they ignored for years- the software they’re using isn’t even working properly…

eulaliasims said: As far as I know, there’s no quick way to see all your posts that’ve been flagged. I would love to be proved wrong on this one, as I’m on page 35 of my blog now and still finding flagged posts. 😐

Ugh. UGH. UGH!!!

Pissing off… someone?

simper-fi said: I only had like 5 sensitive posts in the first half of my blog, but once I got to more recent things they’re popping up like mad O_o

I assume they have doubled down on the newer posts because…? But I’m seeing a similar pattern in my posts. For some reason, it really hated my Pleasantview playthrough.

eulaliasims said: lmao that’s exactly why I’m requesting reviews on mine too. Like… I don’t know if the people actually doing the reviews have anything to do with the policy change (probably not?), but I kinda hope this points out how ridiculous it is.

thelonelysimsclub said: This is exactly why I’m reviewing mine too, because I’m petty.

*high five*

Although I’m not putting to much hope into this. Tumblr has proven itself to be… idiotic about such things.

Managed to drag myself out of my bed, so have some replies (sorry if I miss some).

Cyd Roseland, ladies and gentlemen

lilibethsonar said: Lol oh no! 😂

holleyberry said: D:

didilysims said: Classic Cyd.

Classic Cyd indeed. That guy is… I love him.

Dustin gets fired

holleyberry said: It’s for the best, Dustin.

Yup.

Old neighbourhood

alienpod said: *__*

didilysims said: That’s cool! I love finding old stuff like that. I’m impressed at how many houses you managed to fit so close together. It looks like a thriving neighbourhood! Though the lack of plumbbobs is conspicuous… 😛

That’s just my mod, though! I would guess that about 2/3 of the residential houses are inhabited. And it was a thriving neighbourhood. I played it a lot!

Don getting cold feet

holleyberry said: Damn it, Don. 

But isn’t that how we know and love him? (Kidding.)

Sad Cass

primaverasims said: oh Cass 😥

Confession: I’m a mean Simmer and locked her fear. But seeing how hard she took it almost broke my heart.

PSA

meetmetotheriver said: Hope you feel better soon!

twofee said: ouch! heal well and feel better!

Thank you for your well-wishes. Somehow managed to catch a nasty cold on top of it, but I’m slowly getting there.

Brandi and Darren

randozaz said: I liked the images of them both are loving.

They are an adorable couple! Three-bolters, even.

Grandma’s comfort soup

meetmetotheriver said: Yep.

Ah! The pop-up you get when your Sim eats a soup confused me a bit. Thanks for clearing it up!

Daniel gets caught

randozaz said: Daniel is all Casanova ok no

Funny thing: he’s a very conflicted Sim in my game. He loves his wife (and continuously rolls wants about her), but also rolls “typical” Romance Sim wants.

Family life

randozaz said: Hey in my game, Lilith plays the guitar.

Hah! Now we only have to find a Lilith that plays the drums and we have a band!

Dormies

meetmetotheriver said: Do you have the nosecretsociety whatever mod too?

I don’t think so. Regardless, even without it, dormies have never spawned in my neighbourhoods (but I’ll try it, maybe the no dormies whatsoever was actually a bug XD).

katatty-main said: are they sprawning to fill empty dorms or spawning randomly?

Empty dorms (your Casteroff dormitory, actually). Moved four students in, four were randomly generated.

Belladonna

didilysims said: The nice thing is that with the different districts it’s easy to pick a theme (colours & styles, etc.) for each area. Once you’ve figured that out, it’s just a matter of copy, paste, and reworking to make it fit the particular lot! Although sometimes the weird floor plans can be a challenge…

Yeah, but the apartment lots are just sooo much work (I do, however, really love the industrial area- so nice!).

Family stuff

hunnybunnysims said: I feel this. My father sustained a disabling injury so I’m his primary carer. It’s hard when it’s a parent who suddenly becomes a dependent. Best wishes and hugs!

Family caretakers unite! No, but seriously, I feel so bad for feeling mad/sad/annoyed at times, but then again, it IS a pretty big deal (and was a huge life change) and my feelings are valid, too, I guess. I just hope she’ll be able to walk again (looking good so far- but baby steps. Literally.). For her own sanity. Being trapped in a house all day must be maddening. Thanks for the hugs and good luck to you and your father.

(My game acted up)

sims2simmies said: Aw.. ={

meetmetotheriver said: Delete groups.cache

Oh, don’t worry. I did delete both the cache files immediately and it’s running smoothly again.

(Me decorating an empty neighbourhood instead of doing sth productive)

crystaldollhouse said: Is that a custom map? It looks really nice

Yes, it is by nepheris. It’s called “Maple Lake” and you can find it on modthesims. 

didilysims said: It’s looking really good though. 🙂

It does, right? It’s usually “hit and miss” when I try to decorate my neighbourhoods (that’s probably why I’m such a fan of desert neighbourhoods. XD) but I’m really glad about how it turned out!

meetmetotheriver hat gesagt:It… shouldn’t? I didn’t do anything to pregnancy length (I wouldn’t even know how). How long was the pregnancy vs how long did you think it should be?

Like…2 hours or something? I’ve been fidgeting around with the ACR during this time so I probably messed something up.

(Very short) Replies!

didilysims said:  Aw, I like the idea of the Newsons and Goodies being related.

Me too! 

meetmetotheriver said: Calling them Ottomi is a running joke, like how the plural of cactus is cacti. Ottomases would be the actual “correct” plural, I think. 🙂

Ah! I don’t know, ‘Ottomi’ sounds somewhat funny, in a positive way.

Replies!

meetmetotheriver said: I feel like a stalker for being the first person to like this, but it was on top on my dash and I was like ‘hey I know that house :D’

No need to feel like a stalker! And I just have to say that the amount of work and detail you put into that neighborhood is awesome!

moudschegiebchn said: Yes, that lightning mod is awesone! ♥

It is, isn’t it?
