I'm Engaged!!!!

Sooooo excited!! My boyfriend of two years proposed today!!  Our second anniversary of our first date was yesterday, but I had to work, so we went out today.  We took a walk in the park like on our first date.  It was raining, but we both love the rain, so we took an umbrella.  We walked up to the upper duck pond and he started talking about our first date.  Then, all of a sudden he took out the ring box and got down on one knee!  I bawled.  The ring is absolutely gorgeous!!  Beyond anything I could ever have imagined!

My Simself

I uploaded my simself to Cstyles the other day.  I'm pretty proud of her.  She's kind of a 'perfect' version of me...perfect skin...no rolls. lol  She's curvy, but sims don't actually have 'rolls' so to speak...even if they're enormous...  I had to use pretty much every slider out there on the market to get her to look right...I have a weird face. lol  And you really have to, to get a realistic-ish looking sim.  She's not 100% accurate, though...I have a tattoo on my let arm of my mother's signature, a small tattoo on my left breast that I did when I was 16...no, it didn't hurt, but I do regret it...and the bottom half of my hair is copper.  You can't really do that with hair in TS3, unfortunately, so I just went with my natural dirty dishwater brown hair. lol

I really love this pic...it explains me to a T.

Also, here's a pic of my arm tat...I love it...

Baked Mac and Cheese

I've been trying to find the perfect baked mac and cheese recipe and after severely altering Alton Brown's recipe, I think I found it. My boyfriend loves it, and I made it for my sister's wedding reception and got many compliments. I think it's all in the simplicity of it... Test it out and tell me what you think!  Also, if you need it converted to metric, let me know...

Poses I've made...

When cmomoney's Pose Player first came out, I got really excited and made a couple poses...then lost steam and stopped. lol  But, here's the one's I've done...

Smoking Pose










If anyone has any requests, though, I might get back into it...don't hold your breathe, though. lol


Edit: I uninstalled TS3 eons ago and the pictures seem have been lost to the ages. :(  But I re-attached the download links since CStyles is gone.

Tattoos I made years ago...

When Ambitions first came out and we were given the ability to have tatted sims...I jumped at the chance to create my own.... Unfortunately, I can't make them anymore because I no longer have photoshop. I've tried gimp, but they always come out fuzzy. :(  Anywho, there's a lot of them...34...

Asylum Update #9

Day 16
For some reason, Johnny got stuck standing in front of the shower for several hours, and wouldn't move.  I tried to have Khalida tell him to go clean, but he wouldn't respond.  I then cancelled all his interactions, but still he wouldn't move...  I noticed that a thought bubble complaining about the broken sink kept popping up, so I fixed the sink...still didn't work.  I then moved him to see if he would snap out of whatever was wrong with him, but ended up having to reset him. :(

Asylum Update #8

Day 12 was really boring, so I didn't bother taking pics or anything.

One thing I find kind of cool is that at work, your sim takes care of their hunger and bladder motives, so you don't really have to worry about feeding them and making them go pee before they go to work unless the bar is in the red.

Day 13
Khalida was really tired after she got home from work yesterday, so she went straight to bed, which was good because she woke up at 4:30.  This gave her enough time to plunge the toilet, pee, bathe, eat, and do some research before she went to work! :)

The crazies aren't really being that crazy...I'm a little disappointed...I was hoping that having a grumpy sim, an evil sim, and a hot-headed sim would make things more interesting...like everyone fighting with each other all the time.

Asylum Update #5

Wow...that was a long day of and doing nothing....and I got PAID to do it! lol

Anywho, I'm home now, and decided to get another round of simming in....sorry for the massive updates...

Asylum Update #4

I'm at a one day temp job right now, where I just sit here and sign people in all day....they told me to bring something to occupy myself, so I brought my laptop.  I tried to hold off playing my sims for a good 3 hours, but I got so bored...most of the people that were supposed to show up, haven't...

FYI...this post is being written as I'm playing, so if it doesn't flow well and seems a bit abrupt at times, that's why...

Anywho...it was day 4 still when I loaded my game...I got another message about Khalida ruining the boss's surprise birthday party...silly game...  She got home and made just enough money to cover the overdue bills...§4 left...phew! lol  I'm glad I changed everyone's clothes...wouldn't be too appropriate to have nakey sims running around while I'm at a job. lol

The other sims are busy building skills...woo more points...and then I realised that I had put two Logic skill objects in the house...chess table and telescope...oops! :p

Ok, so I finally got back into my game...been a couple days.  I realised that I hadn't taken any pics of the asylum itself....

The Asylum Challenge

Well, yesterday I made the patients and built the asylum.  At first I tried making it look like it was all run down, with the paint faded and peeling and all the metal rusted, but by the time I got around to the furniture and stuff, I got tired of messing with CASt. lol  I did at least try to pick vintage-y colours for the furniture, and most of the stuff doesn't match.

For the patients, I made 4 females and 4 males.  For the my non main sims I just hit the randomise button and went with the weirdest looking sims.  I did make a couple of them adults, though...I thought it might be interesting if some of the patients turned into elders at some point.  For their traits, I tried to pick some interesting combos.  I think one of them is evil, and another is a klepto...  And for their lifetime wishes, I tried to choose ones that didn't involve them needing to leave the asylum.  For my main sim's lifetime wish, I decided not to go with rolling a die to choose.  The first time I tried this challenge...this is actually my second time trying it...I ended up getting a really easy lifetime wish...just maxing out 3 skills...not very interesting.  So this time I just picked the one that seemed the hardest.

The main sim has to have the traits Insane and Loser, and the other sims all have to have the traits Insane, Hates Outdoors, and Absent-Minded.  The traits I'm listing with each picture are the traits besides those.

TS3 Challenges

I've decided to try out some of the Sims 3 challenges.  I really want to try the apocalypse challenge, but it's so damn convoluted. lol  I'm trying out the asylum challenge right now (because it's easier), to see if I have the patience to finish a challenge.  I've tried the legacy challenge before, but I got bored very quickly.  I think the farthest I've gotten was the third generation. :/  But that doesn't have very many rules...you just do whatever you want and try to make it through 10 generations.  For me, I need a bunch of rules and stuff or else I'm just gonna do what I always do with the same old sims.  That's my problem...I start out with my favourite sims and then get bored when they start having kids. lol  I'm currently playing on my boyfriend's laptop because it only has the base game.  I think it'll be easier to start out with just the base game because there's less to think about, and then eventually work up to all the expansions.  I might install Ambitions, though...I really miss the careers and some of the objects/clothes.

I'm back....

I'm back, not that anyone really noticed. lol  I deleted my old blog a while ago because I didn't feel like updating it, but thankfully the address was still available...
