If you were having fun playing/posting the teens, don’t feel you have to stop because of fewer notes (or whatever). Keep doing what you enjoy! *high five*

Oh no! Don’t think that I’ll stop posting whatever I want just because it is not popular (otherwise I would post neighbourhood screenshots and nothing else… XD). I’m currently trying to figure out how to post the Teens in a way that makes me happy (and to give you all a better chance to get to know them). This whole switching around just took you out of both stories. I dunno, it just annoyed me and made me feel like I was unable to tell either story properly. I’m currently debating whether to put them up on my livejournal (or something similar) true legacy/challenge style or if I’ll just move them back into my queue once my queued Middleground posts run out (which might take a while- there are currently 78 posts in my queue.)

German colleges work a bit different. Like, the college officials are the ones supposed to help you (works well 99% of the times). I will probably be able to sort it out somehow (even if that means taking the damn 4.0)- once that one official who can approve of stuff comes back from her vacation… I actually have to talk to her either way because another one of my courses is officially only open to master’s degree students. Which I took during an expedition for bachelor students only (I don’t know either…). Thank god I recently switched subjects and have another 2 terms of college in front of me (I can actually start writing my bachelor’s thesis once I got all my courses accredited. Which will be a huge help.)

holleyberry said: My toddlers never do this. Is it connected to active points?

I have no idea. I would say it has something to do with that (since he didn’t have any skill points and hadn’t learned how to walk yet), but everyone seems to make different experiences regarding that.

Ah! See, as a non-native speaker I often miss little differences like this and end up confused. So maybe don’t call every falcon a “kestrel” from now on?

didilysims said: Of course. She’s no Joe.

Ouch! Cold. But yeah. She doesn’t have severe commitment issues (you’ll see).

cafesimming said: photoscape is free and pretty good for stuff like this!!! (you can also batch edit w brightness and contrast and stuff!!! it’s p great)

Sounds great! I’ll try it out, then.

greenfooddog said: Don’t know if this is about a college course or high school, but I would contact head of department or registrar in college setting. Guidance counselor in high school setting. It would be nice if said teacher could make that contact for you to add legitimacy to the request.

It’s for college. They are already in the loop (and the one causing trouble). They can give me a 4.0 (American (high school?) grade D) for all I care. Just let me use that one so I can write my bachelor’s thesis!

My school: Yes, we can see why you are unable to get your course accredited. Your teacher only noted that you passed, but never got you a grade. Just ask him.
Me: He has retired.
My school: Just ask him.
Me: Hey, sorry to disturb you, but are you by any chance able to give me a grade for that course I took one year ago?
Teacher: I’m really sorry, but since I’m no longer a member of the school and therefore can’t access the grading software, I can’t.
Me: Hey school! Teacher is unable to do that.
My school: That’s too bad.

Is there a program that lets you do some basic actions on a bunch of pictures? I’m tired of my pictures being blurry on Tumblr, but if I have to manually sharpen/resize/whatever every single picture, I’ll go mad. Trust me, I tried.

didilysims said: Deleting posts…you might regret that if you want to look back again!

We’re talking about random pictures and my umpteen attempts at creating a BACC (like New Salem, which was abandoned after like one and a half rounds). Like, at one point I made over all the Pleasantview townies and plopped them down in a neighbourhood- and then apparently never touched it again? I have an extremely short attention span and it shows. XD Stuff like Sul Sula and such, which I’m really passionate about, are safely stored in the depths of my Simblr and will never be deleted!

It has become the status quo in this household to watch me trekking downstairs to reset the internet adapter so it will actually work anywhere outside the living room twice a day instead of actually doing something about the problem… *sigh*

Yeah, Ivy is pretty direct. She doesn’t have time for bullshit.

didilysims said: Bring on Ares! 

I’m just happy that I chose to give them Greek deitty names. With the Roman deities, I’m not sure I could get a working “A-litter”.

sim-boo said: LOL NO IVY IS TOO GOOD FOR HIM

Yeah, she probably is. But she had a “Woohoo” want and quite frankly, there is no other male Sim in Middleground she feels even remotely attracted to (I’m still curious about how that 1 bolt between her and Brandon came to be) and I don’t think Remington- stuck up bastard he can be- would be willing to continue their relationship as an affair in order to fulfil that one “Woohoo” want. Don’t worry though, this was a purely casual hook up and their relationship will stay this way (no babies were made)..

holleyberry said: Does she dig before she fills it?

Huh? As in: does the dog dig in the already dug out hole? I’m sorry, I think something got lost in translation.

didilysims said: Have you tried putting an object there? Maybe a beware of dog sign? 😛

THAT IS GENIUS and I’m kinda mad now that I didn’t think of it myself. XD
