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


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.
