Bi-Weekly Project Post

So I decided the weekly project posts should probably be a bi-weekly thing, seeing as some people don't really work fast enough to have new material to contribute every week (ME). I set an alarm and put up a post-it and was all revved up to post Saturday night announcing it in the new post. AND THEN THERE WAS A TORNADO, LOL. And the power is out in damn near the whole fucking city. Good times. So here is your project post on Monday. MAKE IT A GOOD ONE IN MY ABSENCE BECAUSE THE LIBRARY CLOSES IN A COUPLE HOURS AND THEN I WILL BE AT HOME. IN THE DARK. GOING STEADILY MAD.

Well I started playing TS3 before the loltornado which I think would be awesome if I had any clue of what I was doing but there is a bit of a learning curve re: installing CC and playing the game and such. Not to mention building up an arsenal of CC all over again, my god. BUT IT HAS BEEN FUN SO FAR? I MOSTLY JUST WATCH MY ONE SIM SIT IN HER BATHTUB AND YELL AT HERSELF.

Once again I have ~started a neighborhood~ and still don't know what the hell to do with it, because I CANNOT BUILD. Even house plans don't help. I really wish I didn't suck so much, because I like this 'hood, yo. Here's a picture, yo.

Ummmm... yeah. It's supposed to be pirate-y/nautical but I do not have much of either type of content. 8\

I'm working on object recolors for a Secret Santa gift. There are quite a few things that could go in my SS gift or in GoS's monthly theme; I haven't decided which way I'll go with them yet. Right now, I just hope I can get them all to work!

I fed one of my teenage spares to the cowplant, with plans to make him a zombie later. Another teenage spare is being a gigantic slut; I think he's gone on dates with 17 people since he became a teen. Somehow, none of them have found out about each other yet! And both of his parents are pregnant, which means YET ANOTHER ALIEN BABY YAY. Even though I can have alien babies easily now, they're kind of special to me.

AAAAAAANNNND my laptop just bit the dust. The hard drive is not working. I've dropped it off with some university IT people in the hopes that they can recover some data. Luckily it isn't my main Simming computer, or I'd be fucked for the Secret Santa thing. But I did have some Secret Santa stuff on that computer, and I really hope the IT people can recover it. I don't want to do it over again!

Also I really love Aelia's new colors, but with three sets of Aelia colors and one set of Pooklet colors, I don't know which colors to use for my projects! INDECISION, I HAS IT

HAIR DUMP. That was my week in Simming. Ohgod I LOVE your new actions and there are SO MANY HAIRS that need them and ... Damn, I need to go update my list...

(Forty-one hairs. I posted forty-one hairs. This is why I haven't bothered with pretty in-game preview pics for GoS yet.)

I had probably the most frustrating week in the history of Sims, evah (OK, from my point of view anyway): it took me all week to finally discover that apparently I suck at retexturing/recolouring clothing. I really don't understand why Bodyshop stuff is considered easier to create than objects, as I've always found it much more painful - give me object creation/recolouring/retexturing any day! :D

Maybe it's just me, but I find problems with BS content (e.g. mapping) much harder to correct than object recolours. NECKLINES. Urgh, they are a PITA.

Oh, don't mention necklines to me! *Shudders*

I also find the whole rigmarole of making Bodyshop content so much more tedious for some reason; I usually get bored and fed-up with it not working halfway through, and just give it up as a bad job and go back to making objects!

At some point over the week I wanted to check out the Any Game Starter. Apparently it doesn't like the 'Best of Business' collection and I was dumb enough not to realize it before I installed. The whole thing ended up with a two day attempt at uninstalling everything, trying to delete all the registries associated with the installs, reinstalling everything but 'Best of Business' because it still thought it was installed, and finally trying CCleaner instead of jv16 PowerTools 2010 to find the one file that kept 'Best of Business' from installing. >_
