HAPPY NEW YEAR :D

Hope y'all have a rockin' new years party! :D

ROD & GRANT - WHO THE HELL CARES?

So Rod Humble and Grant Rodiek have left the TS3 franchise - seriously who the FUCK actually cares? Ugh. I can tell what the final night of 2010 has in store for me now aside from the stomach bug that I'm convinced is trying to eat my insides... a crapload of worthless spam over in the TS3 forum about how its the end of the fucking world and oh noes have they really left? Whatever will we do without them!? ;_;

GET OVER IT. They clearly weren't up to the job in the first place since the game still isn't working properly so fuck it. Nobody would give a shit anyway if Grant was an absolute minger. It's pathetic.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Just wanted to wish y'all a merry Christmas and an absolutely ROCKIN' new year ^_^

9GOATS BLACK OUT - TANATOS

I only heard about this band recently but I already love their music ^_^

RANDOM PICS

W00t for Christmas... and a random pic spam starring my latest sim Ethan and his new pad :D

FREEDOM - SO CLOSE!

Ahh... just one more day and then I am free from work until the 4th. How I have waited for this day.

I also can't wait for Friday. I was a bit skint so I got my parents to buy the next Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Blu-Ray set. I'm looking forward to finally watching it although I'm rather annoyed that the distributor of the Blu-Ray for the UK has pulled out. Maybe if you didn't charge fuckin' £35 for them when the sodding DVD only costs £15 if you know where to look/preorder more people would've bought them ¬¬

Alas I'm using my PS3 as a Blu-Ray player and the USA versions that ARE still being released on Blu-Ray (lucky bastards ¬¬) are region locked ¬¬

TRON

Well despite the snow I managed to make it out to see Tron in 3D and I have to say that movie was the largest pile of shit I have seen in quite some time. Now I loved the effects, I even loved the music but you cannot throw together a bunch of half-finished and fuckin' predictable plot points and call it a goddamn story.

Oh and Flynn? Fuck you. Like hell you thought of Wi-Fi in 1989 ¬¬ way to turn him into a fucking Gary-Stu Disney ¬¬

HYPOCRITICAL MUCH?

OK. Why is it that somebody can get banned for posting the word 'bump' in large letters but all the tossers currently hanging around in General Discussion spamming with their crappy pictures that have FUCK ALL to do with TS3 can get away with bloody murder?

The abuse over in that forum right now is untrue! I'm really having to reign myself in from giving a few puissants I've encountered tonight a piece of my mind.

WIP - ETHAN MARS

New update on the simming front. I'm currently working on this guy:


His name is Ethan Mars. I've pretty much got his attire sorted out but there's something about him that's just bugging me at the moment :/ maybe I'll turn him into a vampire and see how it looks then.



I'm also really starting to hate my Vanity entry. Everyone else's looks so much better. I'm annoyed at myself really for dismantaling the set of my random sim shoot a few days back.

Ugh... typical really. I loved that set too but I didn't see any other use for it then lo and behold a grunge challenge comes up.



I dunno... my entry is probably fine but it just seems to lack... content :/

AVERT YOUR EYESIES!!!

What you are about to see is not pleasing to the eye whatsoever. Remember way back when I commented that I had dyed my hair 'Cyber Purple' well this is the result; those with a nervous disposition should look away now!

I swear... I tense up the minute somebody pulls a camera on me, I'm not photogenic in the slightest XDDDD

REALLY... ¬¬

Ugh. Couldn't have held off for another six hours or so huh? Geez... nevermind that I wanted to go and see the new Tron movie this Saturday ¬¬

Fucking snow.

D'ESPAIRSRAY

I freakin' love this band. The whole Visual Kei look is what inspires a lot of my sims... even if there is only limited content to pull it off XDDD




RANDOM PIC SPAM 2.0

Just another pic spam from TS3 ^_^

They're mostly just shots of the two sims I've uploaded today. The red-head is Fuuka, I just changed her hair, makeup and removed the mask.

NEW LAYOUT & NEW SIMS

W00t! New layout. I was getting kinda' bored of the Blogger defaults so I scoured the internet and found this little beauty. The font is a little pale though considering the background is so dark but it's pre-set and won't let me change it. Ahh well.

Two new simmies tonight... which I would also announce on the forum if it wasn't being such a bitch :/

TOUGH. BEAUTIFUL. POLO - WTF?

I can kind of see what they're trying to do... but this is still a really fuckin' stupid way to advertise a car :/

RANDOM PIC SPAM

Yup. Random pic spam of a few lots I've built in my new town.

The gym/dojo:


A random little house I built. I cloned this house and stuck it on a load of other lots too so I have a neat little row of them


Crappy shot of my business tower/restaurant. Flowers are my answer to empty space XD

Two new female sims I've made; the red-head is Angel and the other is Izumi. I'm torn between putting Angel up for download or not, I made her from my Shinichi sim and for some reason the vampire fangs are protruding from her chin when her mouth is closed. I haven't seen this happen with any other sim so I don't think it's my extra sliders... :/
A quick screencap of my neighbourhood. I downloaded this beautiful hood and bulldozed most of the lots. It's nothing against the creator of this world at all as his lots were absloutely amazing but I wanted a more personal touch.
There are still quite a few lots that he built out of the ones that are left, I haven't had much chance to get to work on it yet.

Stupid Blogger. Quit deleting my paragraphs!

VANITY CYCLE 2 - ASSIGN 1


I'm really glad that Vanity got started - loved the first assignment just because the description was so hilarious (in a totally awesome way). I struggled to come up with a set at first and it didn't help that my Bridgeport is totally broken (I have the lagging issue but I'm not updating my game - that patch seems worse than not being able to use Bridgeport for simming).

I've been thinking about that actually; I'm wondering if its the skyscrapers that are glitched as opposed to Bridgeport itself. I have another custom neighbourhood that runs perfectly fine, but as soon as I add the apartment shells it goes all glitchy and laggy. :/

EA had better fix it. I bought LN for the vampires, clubs and sleazy city-feel. If I can't use the skyscrapers then I still can't make my dodgy city ¬¬

EA'S LAUNCHER BEING A BITCH

So I finished the house. I was actually pleased enough with it to want to upload it to the exchange but surprise surprise... network failure. Ugh I hate the launcher so much. The amount of sims I've had to re-package due to this is insane! Worst still because even though the launcher fucks up it acts as though I've used that name before, when I didn't because it bloody failed!

But yeah, I thought I'd show off a bit more of the house anyway now that it's finished. Technically it's 3 story but I'm using it as a home for Chiagi and he doesn't have anyone living with him yet so the third floor is completely empty.


I'm working on another lot at the moment that has the Late Night restaurant skyscraper, a little playground for the kiddies and... well that's the thing. I've got a fairly large space left on the lot and I don't know what to put there.

SHINICHI CHIAGI - UPLOADED

SHINICHI CHIAGI


Finally fixed my game again so I threw Shinichi back into CAS to get a better quality picture. I'm considering uploading him onto the exchange but I'll need to add his formal outfit etc before I do that since I was lazy and left it as whatever the game initially picked for the sim template I used.

ANOTHER WIP

It's so totally not finished right now. I mean the building itself I'm pretty happy with; only the 3 story home is livable the other one (unshown) has the hidden room markers put in there. It's quite convenient really.

The ground floor is the only one furnished so far, I haven't even put dividing walls on the upper floors yet XD;

Who knows; I might even upload this one.

NEW MODEL - SHINICHI CHIAKI

OK so the skin texture quality is pissing me off to no end and I'm having major blue lot of death issues (I downloaded a house and it's .package CC files but I think something within that fucked up my game a tad) but I've managed to get one shot that I'm not totally meh about. It's just the headshot anyway.

Hopefully my game was just having a wobble. I wasn't using my FPS limiter which could explain why it was acting so screwed up.

CENTRAL PARK - WIP

Feeling inspired I decided to undertake a challenge and build a park; this is something that I don't tend to do because I struggle with filling the larger lots and the view from edit town mode always looks horrendous but I really wanted to customize the park in my town. So... I took the bold step of bulldozing it.

RANDOM SHOTS

Just some random shots from my game. I'm in the process of building up a community but I got caught up in playing with my latest simmies (they're married now ^_^)





V IS FOR VICTORY!

MUHWAHAHAHA! It took a lot of fiddling around and some helpful information over on the EA tech board but I finally fixed the issue with my game disliking edge smoothing.

Now I can enjoy the game in all its graphical beauty instead of being put off by those damn jagged edges. ^_^

As a general rule I don't use .Sims3Packs so my content should not transfer. I have also used a fair few facial sliders including the elf ear sliders from MTS. Provided you don't alter the structure of their faces it should be OK but the moment you do they'll just snap back to within the EA boundaries without the sliders installed.

I think I'll make them lovers in my game...

Happy simming!

The Sims 3 - Late Night Club Dancing - Solo





I still can't get enough of this dancing stuff XDDD

I wish Hitomi would stop falling over though.

TS3 & HARRY POTTER

OK I have a trivia question!

What do The Sims and Harry Potter have in common?

Well; those of sound mind will think that there is nothing in common between these two games other than that vile EA logo lurking somewhere on the packaging but according to EA they have a lot more in common than that.

Enough in common in fact to feature rather prominantly on the TS3 main page o.O

...I wonder if I were to spam the forum with off-topic threads about Harry Potter whether I would be banned. Given that it's on the TS3 site it MUST be related to The Sims and therefore perfectly acceptable to talk about :>

£10 says the next SP is TS3 Royal Life - make your very own William and Kate! :D (can't you tell I'm British? Half an hour after hearing the news I already became sick of hearing about it XDD)

In other news; my new computer is freakin' EPIC! ^_^

Thursday 18 November 2010

¬¬

Tch. Couldn't have hung on for three more days huh? I suppose this is your last stand, your final revenge for me replacing you with a newer, shinier model eh?

RIP computer of old. RIP

(the video-card has gone. No more simming for me ^_^; )

LATE NIGHT - APARTMENT

Right. Bridgeport has been getting on my nerves. Aside from my graphics card having issues with rendering it I'm finding it really difficult to navigate, my sims are obsessed with the subways and it takes them forever to get anywhere. Besides I missed suburbia - the solution? Get a small neighbourhood, do half as the city and half as the suburbs. Problem solved!

Loving Late Night though... still XD

Even moreso now I've figured out how to mod apartments.





Now all I need to do is find all the apartments that EA for no logical reason decided to hide. I mean REALLY EA? Are you that obsessed about us using your own pre-made shit that you wouldn't make the apartment shells available for general use? UGH. The lots I have are too small for the pre-made lots; I'm sure some of them is just because EA stuck an apartment on a lot that was bigger than necessary.
