Journaling our sims

[amylu1988]

Just had a look through my old list, I'm guessing it was having 3 Servo children and a child with Santa Klaus that probably broke my game. That and the BV Ghost Pirate!

Yeah, my eco neighbourhood has ended up being slightly retro, I have a lot of cc that fits into that period. I was trying to make a modern house yesterday and there's hardly anything in my game that I would call modern!

Somehow I got 699 downloads of my Birth Queen Skin on MTS between 8 am and noon today. I have absolutely no idea what happened.

[joandsarah]

3 servo children? That does not sound at all good!

Esme, that is odd, but in a good way. Unless the site is having hiccups. You know what I would like to see? Some more thanks to my download count. I never realized before how slack people are at simply clicking a thanks button.

[amylu1988]

699? Wow, that's a heck of a lot! I wonder if someone linked to it and people have followed the link there?

Jo, I'm the same, 10 likes on each of my hair posts on Tumblr, but 30odd downloads each. I always click the thanks button on your downloads, but should do it more on other people's, admittedly. I usually want to see if stuff works in-game first, then sometimes forget to go back onto MTS and click thanks.

[joandsarah]

Amy I have over 13,000 on MTS download count now and only 968 thanks you's!

Then you are a bad. bad girl and need to fix that up!
Oh dear I've done it myself, but I've been trying to gradually fix that, either from finding things I know I've downloaded in my travels in the download section or on my download page. Although I'm not sure how to find that so it's been more a case of "Oh is this what I've downloaded? Oh no I didn't thank xyg for that!"

Those cup cakes sound scrumptious!

[esmeiolanthe]

I always click the thanks button on anything I download, even if I end up hating it. That way, when I come across it again, I can tell if I've already downloaded it. If I like it, all is well and good. If I clicked thanks, but it's not in my game, then I know there's something wrong with it.

[amylu1988]

Ah, that's such a good idea Esme! I'm writing that down, that makes sense.

I should play a house other than my CtoF challenge, but it's so much fun, I just open the house and go straight to them. Hopefully baby 2 will be born in tonight's play session.

[joandsarah]

I'm so happy that you are liking it. ;D

Talking of naked babies (on the other thread) I was told on MTS that to make the game use the trips and quads mod I must select 'random' when a sim is giving birth. I'm so glad I asked as I might never have changed from 'original' otherwise. So I clicked random for my beach bum family and got...








Twins!

Bondi


And Surf. Two red haired boys.


Dad was more interested in playing with Kobe. He put Bondi down to go play with it.

Don't think mum is so great either. Yes she did feed Bondi, but she ignored Surf and left him mealless on the floor. Pleasure sims the pair of them.

[amylu1988]

That curly baby hair is so cute, and I love the names. My CtoF family sim couple were just making me laugh, they got completely distracted and took ages to grow baby Eleanor up to a toddler!

I'd forgotten it was the random option, Kim used to have that hack in her game, and used to get triplets every time she picked random! I wouldn't dare, I don't think I'd manage a family with any more than one baby at a time!

[joandsarah]

Every time?! That would be a bit much. You can set the odds per sim, so the chance of trips or quads could be set to 0 for certain families. I've left it at the default settings for now. That plus risky woohoo, so any sims who don't have a baby want may still end up with some. She got pregnant through risky whoohoo to start with since his want LTW is for 50 dream dates. He's only up to about 10.... I was thinking of using that orphanage I built and any extra babies I would move there and break the family ties so the hood can have a real adoption agency. part of me likes the idea and part doesn't as I don't really like to break up families, plus I don't want them to have bolts with any siblings down the track either.

I love that hair. Theraven has a few to choose from. I like that one only shows up on maxis or default skin so I know Bondi must have a custom skin seeing he was born bald. makes for some variety. She's working on making hair and other things like dummies and hats as accessories that can be changed like the buyable clothes. She has the cutest picture of babies in hats over on her site. I wish she would release them already! She probably wants them perfect.

I'd say quads would be hectic.

Had to post, I just had my first ever natural alien abduction!! I've been playing this game since it came out and I've never had a random abduction ever before. I'll be posting it down in Riverview picspam later. So excited!

[esmeiolanthe]

Congratulations, Jo! That's such an exciting event!

[joandsarah]

I'm off to do the photos! So much for me thinking I wouldn't be doing another update for days...

[amylu1988]

I loved that update Jo, your sims are so fun and interesting!

I have so much simming I want to do today but I also need to go shopping...what to do first?! I need to get these sims for the June Challenge at GoS done, I was in the middle of decorating a house yesterday when we went for a walk (I love the late summer solstice light and we live near a park), and I want to get back to CtoF too. Good job it's the weekend!

[joandsarah]

Hope you get it all done Amy. Finally I got my school lot approved after sending it back twice. All due to cc recolours. It's on MTS now, see if you can tell who the little simmies in the picture are. A certain someone you have only seen as a child before. I've also joined the build contest on MTS.

Gah I have school paper work to do too. :/
