My PC’s dead

And it’s rather inconvenient. I don’t know yet what caused it, but it might be the hard drive. Which is bad. I do have my important stuff (bachelor thesis, university stuff) backed up- including Sims back ups, but I’ve been rather… neglectful in regards to pictures (also, the take up a shitton of space). So, worst case, I will loose all the gameplay pictures of three households I played (and haven’t put in the queue yet). 

So please bear with me while I try to figure out what’s going on and write my bachelor thesis. There is stuff for another 2 months in the queue, so don’t worry, you’ll barely notice my absence.

Also: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 700 FOLLOWERS!

All work and no Sims…

Only two more months (and a 30 pages term paper, two 20 pages term papers and 2 half-hour oral exams- ugh) and I’ve finally got a college degree. Took me long enough!

And if everything goes wrong… I know so much about Jack the Ripper now (one of my oral exams is about him- and socio-economic developments in post-war Britain- EXCITING!) that I could just move to London and do tours. Or become a copycat killer- haven’t decided yet.

SIMBLR GAMEPLAY STYLE EVOLUTION CHALLENGE (TS2, TS3, TS4)

I was tagged by the amazing @salamisimmer . Thanky you!

First picture was uploaded to my tumblr on the 26th of June 2013 (my tumblr is basically ancient), the last one is from sometime last month (not actually sure if I posted it already… my queue is a bit too well-fed!).

I’ve never had a drastic style change, but I think you can spot a few differences, mainly in the skin/ hair area- my skins have become more Maxis-matchy, while my hair folder is now a little bigger- and less “Maxis”. XD

I think I’ve come a long way. I’m now more confident in my style and what and how to play. Disabling the Tumblr pushup notifications on my phone has also been a real lifesaver- I’m no longer as anxious about the amount of notes I get.

Still haven’t figured out how to sharpen and resize, though!

I’m tagging… you! Yes you! The one who’s reading this right now!

❤Sharing the ups and downs of your sims in stories and legacies is hard work. Sometimes it feels as though all that effort is for nothing, but I wanted to tell you I noticed. Thank you for sharing and entertaining us with all the blood, sweat, and tears you put into every post. Your work is amazing and valued. Send some love to other simmers that have entertained you with their stories and legacies so that they might know they are appreciated.❤

Thank you so much!

(Sending one right back!)

Announcement

So, I will be in Paris for the rest of the week (for college) and will start writing my bachelor’s thesis (undergraduate/ honours thesis- compulsory here in Germany) and prepare for my final oral exams afterwards. So I’ll probably won’t be around much until the end of July, but I’ll lurk and like. And the queue is good for at least another 50 days, so you’ll barely notice that I’m not here.

(Also, I’m like really tired right now (summer induced sleep deprivation- it’s just too bright and too hot to sleep…) and English is hard, so sorry for any unintelligible babblings (spell check’s working overtime!).

Matthew’s nose- reloaded

didilysims said: Hey hey hey now, I never said he wasn’t handsome! He just has a weirdly “unique” nose. 🙂

Well, he is handsome… uniquely handsome! 😛

Kaylynn’s corner

eulaliasims said: I love her witching station with the shelf full o’ spell ingredients and that wallpaper. 🙂

Me too. Somewhat proud that it looks as good as it does (especially since I’m still learning how to decorate houses).

Not again!

holleyberry said: D:

She’s the only family sim that constantly churns out twins due to the fertility reward. Christy and Remington both have that reward and out of three pregnancy, only had one pair of twins, Pao has none… but Kaylynn just keeps on havin twins…

didilysims said: She’s breeding a magical army!

She is! That is a good explanation!

Thank you!

Polly, the parrot

moocha-muses said: I think parrots can actually live to be nearly 100 years old.

Yeah, but Joe isn’t a big fan on Polly (she shows him clearly that she doesn’t like him). That and parrots in the Sims are very prone to starving. I’m amazed I was able to keep her alive that long…

didilysims said: Brittany’s so great. 😀

She is AMAZING. She is very sassy in-game and takes no bullshit from anyone.

Matthew’s nose

didilysims said: Definitely the weirdest premade nose. It’s like it got stuck on a clothesline.

It wouldn’t look so bad if the lower half of his nostrils were actually attached to his nose… he could be so handsome!

House facelift

didilysims said: Oh sure the house gets a facelift but the deadly diving board stays as it is. Your priorities are questionable, aonda! 😀

Hey, I didn’t build that! And where am I supposed to put the garden furniture if I expand the pool by one tile?! XD

(makes mental note to switch the pool ladder and diving board to put an end on this MADNESS!)
