My Tiny Little Sims

Hi again. Yep, I know I said I’d post some more piccies of the Lindons but I am lazy and I have a short attention span. I also lost them in a weird accident soon after…bah, humbug…oh well. The twins were gorgeous, just so you know. I posted them on The Sims 2 Community, look under amalinaball and you’ll find them.

I was also delighted to find I had a few new ideas. Stuff I was never bothered about before. I went on a bit of a downloading spree. Again. And now I have decided to devote a bit of time to building priddy houses over the weekend. I have always been interested in architecture, it’s true, so why not?

Anywho, here are some pictures I took throughout the week. I like them. Peggy Sims skins are uber-great for realistic faces.

Thanks, and I am sorry for making you wait a bit. I may post some pictures of a house I am working on over the weekend.

Till then…ciao!

Hello! I know I posted just yesterday, but I have enjoyed a rather pleasant day (I have only one more before returning to school on Thursday!) and three children were born to a young couple of mine.

First, there were two: Lister and Margot Lindon. Their names are peculiar - Margot came from my wanting to call her Margaret, but my (evil) sister’s middle name is Margaret so I morphed it a little; Lister is an old English name, and was a common family name for the Holtes of Aston Hall. It reminds me of the word ‘Blister’ for obvious reasons.

After a few energetic Woohoo sessions (where much fun was had by all), poor Margot found herself bowing before the great God of the Bathroom. Yep, she was pregnant. As a Pleasure Sim, I don’t think she was having a very pleasurable time. So, I endeavoured to make things a bit better by cheating my way through the whole pregnancy.

(I was annoyed because I had wanted to get them a dog, but 1 dog + 1 baby = wa-a-a-a-ay too much work for someone as lazy as me. But my annoyance turned to delight when I laid my peepers on their beautiful bouncing bundle of joy!)

Meet little Cressida Roola Linton! Isn’t she a darling!? I was over the moon when I saw how cute she was…her dad, although not bad looking, was designed to be a sort of punkish druggie lead-singer. And her mom is not 1/2 as pretty as her younger sister Lily (she was the female sim in my last post). But Cressie is an angel!

Curious to see if Cressie’s good genes were merely good luck, I got Lister and Margot to concieve yet again. I cheated again, getting Lister to teach Cressida all her basic life-skills, and after three days Margot gave birth…to a girl…and a boy…TWINS!

I named them Geoffrey and Philippa. This is a photo of Philippa, though they both look exactly the same. Oy.

So my game is booming! I’ve added a few more Cressie pictures to indulge myself. Knowing my luck, the twins will be ugly as heck.

Yeah, I thought the last one was funny. But then I’m sad, lol.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had the best possible Christmas, and of course a wonderful New Year!

And…at last! My prayers were answered on Christmas Day! My dad insisted I try out the Festive Holiday Stuff Funpack (how could I refuse?), so we installed it and turned the game on. Guess what? My graphics were about 100x better. Yep, while I’d been away at my grandma’s house, he’d installed it for me, ready for Christmas Day. I didn’t fit in much playing (Christmas Day itself is family time), but for the past week I’ve just been enjoying building big lots with proper furnishings, without any blurry graphics or stumpy hands. It’s so wonderful…you can’t appreciate a good graphics card without having had two stinking ones before it. (BTW, it is a Nvidia 7600).

Now, for some sad news. My sister, wishing to check the card out after dad installed it (she was too sick to go to grandma’s house), clicked something in my folders. What that something was, I have no idea. But everything went. My downloads. My sims. All the data. So I wouldn’t find out (makes no sense, this next part) she cleaned out my recycle bin. Then found the back-ups of my neighbourhoods and destroyed them. That little…idiot! I had to reinstall everything from scratch, which was terrible. So no more of Canaan’s Solace. No more Luft Family, or Victorian Stories, or anything in the past. They’re gone.

But I have found loads of new downloads, and built new Sims. I am also thinking about changing to another site, but if I do I will post to say so. This one just can’t handle the size of pictures I am now able to get with my graphics card, so I figure bon voyage. I am fond of this site, but it reminds me of my dear old Sims and I am more than a little hurt by what Lucie did. It will remain up, but I don’t know about any updates.

Anyway, here are three pictures (which make the layout go all freaky, but oh well) of my new Sims. I am already contemplating a storyline for them. Perhaps they will help me get over my embarrassment of romantic writing!

Thank you! Happy New Year!
