Amylu

Hello! I'm Amylu, or Amy (either is fine). I play TS2, with a Maxis Match game, and I'll be posting pictures from my 2 custom neighbourhoods, along with the odd Maxis Match hair retexture. :)

RL is crazy right now: I changed jobs, got engaged (proposed to on Christmas Eve after 9 years together, I am still over the moon), we bought and are renovating a house (oh my god is it stressful!!), my best friend had a baby... Yeah, sims has kind of taken a backseat. But I will always make time for Good Genes. :D My final entry is Rebecca, above, who can be downloaded (I really hope this works) here. Her sister Victoria is basically Bella with elf ears, but she's still cute, so I uploaded her too. She can be downloaded here. Family tree and extra info at GoS in the Good Genes thread. Both girls are packaged with cc, so please use clean installer. I hope I did all that right, I am rather out of practice at all this. Hope everyone's doing well, hugs to you all! :)

So, this is my first upload in over a year. I had hoped to upload these for the May theme at GoS, but then...RL. So I'm uploading things as and when I finish them. Above you can see Sunni's Tunic Clothing Rack and Keoni's Farmer's Crate, both of which I use extensively in my unpublished Medieval neighbourhood. So, I recoloured the wood in iCad's colours. I needed to get used to the basics of recolouring again, so I thought these would be a good place to start; hopefully they might be useful to other people who have similar neighbourhoods. All credit to Sunni and Keoni for the objects, and iCad for the colours. :) Download the clothing rack recolours here and the crate recolours here Both downloads include 14 of iCad's colours (no weathered ones, sorry), the meshes and a preview of some of the colours. If I've done anything silly or forgotten anything, please let me know. :) I'm rather out of practice at this.

New neighbourhood. :) Voleste's Marigold Valley terrain is just gorgeous, and the perfect size for what I've been calling an 'Amylu Attempts to Slowly Build A Town Challenge'. Which is why it's currently very empty; I will be adding buildings and what have you as I go along. I'm looking forward to playing this neighbourhood. :D

Toddler spam, as promised. :D *squees endlessly*

[amylu1988]

I'm planning on downsizing my neighbourhood; I have tens of sims I just don't play and it takes an age to load. Of course, for my favourite families to move to the new neighbourhood, I'll need to age the babies to toddlers. So, as a very belated introduction, above we have Bea (Marcus not pictured) with Dylan, Charlotte (Alex not pictured) with Madeleine, and Jacob and Samantha with Reuben. Toddler spam coming soon! :D

*waves* How do I do this, again? :) It's been so long that the post editor has changed, oh dear! Hello Tumblr. GoS Good Genes Challenge has me appearing from the aether, and above you can see the result of my attempt, Callum. Details, family tree and download can be found in the thread at GoS. :) I will get back to playing sims properly soon. Various excuses about RL go here, but I will be back. Promise. *hugs you all*

I am such a family sim; I'm really enjoying playing this neighbourhood at the moment. :D

A couple of pictures of Leo, because he's adorable; and it's been a long day at work, so this made me happy. :) The crate he's standing on makes him look so tiny, bless him. And he was having nightmares before the second picture; Samantha tucked him in autonomously, and that sent him back to sleep. <3

Eco Neighbourhood Wedding 3: Jacob and Samantha Final wedding for now! :) Jacob and Samantha are one of my favourite couples to play, and I had so much fun with this wedding. Rather fittingly, this was the first slow dance twirl in my current game. <3

[amylu1988]

Eco Neighbourhood Wedding 2: Charlotte and Alex With bonus plantsim twins growing up in the middle of the smustle! :) I forgot that Alex's plantsim toddlers were due to grow up on the day of the wedding, so that was a nice surprise.

[amylu1988]

Silly question time! :) I wanted Charlotte to wear Skell's ballgown separates as a wedding dress, but they turn into the Maxis gown under the arch, which I guess makes sense, as they're separates rather than a full formal outfit. I might ask at the GoS Wishing Tree if this can be made into a full dress, it's exactly what I wanted for Charlotte. Before I do, I just wanted to double check, in case I've missed something, or I'm doing something silly, or I've forgotten to do something; does this happen to separates in everyone's game? Is it normal for this to happen? *edit* Fixed! I completely forgot to check the arch, and that was what was causing it. Thanks penguingirl03, you're a star. :D

Eco Neighbourhood Wedding 1: Bea and Marcus I had so much fun, this was the first wedding in my game in a long, long time. Not everything went to plan (I invited Harry and both of his girlfriends...oops), but the group smustle happened and Bea and Marcus were adorable, so I'm happy. :D Wedding 2 will be posted when I eventually decide on the right dress for Charlotte. :)

[amylu1988]

One more sims engagement and we're ready for wedding season in the Eco Neighbourhood. This time it's Bea and Marcus from this post, who have 3 bolts and are adorable together. I am super excited to be playing properly again, and you never know, there might even be weddings in my Steampunk neighbourhood too, this summer!

[amylu1988]

Finally had time to play my game; it's taken me a year to get Jacob and Samantha to this point! My poor, neglected sims. I am so happy to have time to play again. :D

Better shot of the library in my Steampunk neighbourhood, which was behind Tabitha in my picture for the GoS sim challenge.

It isn't finished yet, but I'm pleased with how it looks so far, especially since my laptop crashed and lost it once last month!

I do like building libraries... :D

[amylu1988]

Uploaded my final two sims to this month's sim challenge at GoS: http://digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=30629.msg688240#msg688240

The prompts, bios and links for Felix and Tabitha are in the thread at GoS. :)

[amylu1988]

I uploaded 3 sims to the GoS monthly challenge here: http://digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=30629.msg687450#msg687450

I'll be submitting 2 more sims in the next few days, but for now this is George, Pearl and Rosanne. Bios and downloads are in the GoS thread, along with the prompts that inspired them. :)
