Indefinite Hiatus

Hi all! I'm not dead, just dormant. I'm making this post to say I'm going on an indefinite hiatus. It's been an amazing 3 years with you guys!!!

I haven't played TS2 in months. Boothbay Harbor has gotten to be a little tedious for me and simply put it's just not fun anymore. The last time I did anything ts2 related was a couple months ago when I was trying to put together a 300 follower/3 year collection, but that's not going to be completed. I have some stuff done and I can upload it if you want.

To be clear, my blog's not going anywhere! I'm just not gonna be updating it. I don't know how long this will be, but it probably won't be soon. I know in the past I've went on "hiatuses" that lasted maybe 3 days but this time it's for reals.

So yeah. It's been great! :)

ok despite not being active here at all in the past... idk? I’ve been getting a lot of attention for such little activity and, first of all I’d like to say thanks, it's evident I've been in a kind of "sims slump" lately and like... no one's unfollowed me. at all. In fact, I've gained followers. I'm almost at 300, like, one away.

I've been playing a little bit here and there (and I do have some screenshots!!!) so I'm not gone completely, just.. inactive. I've been drawing tons and I'd loooove to show you guys my progress, especially since I've been posting my crap drawings here since whenever I started which was 3 years ago.

Ok, Ive got 2 milestones coming up: 300 follows and 3 years! I'm not sure if the 3 year mark is this month or next month (I should probably check) but either way it's not for a while so I have time to get stuff together! Wouldn't it be neato if I hit both milestones at the same time :O

tl:dr- you guys are amazing, never stop doing and I'll post some stuff soonish hopefully!

A friend, a husband, and a lusty lover. Enter the minds and lives of the people closest to wealthy socialite Bella Goth before she disappears and the girl is gone forever.

New chapter! after a billion years

Update?

Heyoo it's that time of the year again! Summer! I won't be officially out til tomorrow. Hopefully summer means more time to do stuff but probably not because I start classes again on the 30th and I can't go out of town anywhere because I have a stupid face-to-face math class that lasts ALL SUMMER! YAY!

Passive-aggression aside, I'd like to thank you guys for still following me even though I havent done any proper simming in a while. I even got a few new followers which is... weird. I'm really close to 300!

There's been some personal stuff that's be bummimg me out lately too. I won't go into detail but this week has been hectic. ;-;

Hopefully I can have a CC binge soon and get back to Boothbay. I kinda miss that drama-filled town.

1000 Word Short Stories: A Collection- A collection of short stories, all having 1000 words or more, with varying topics.

This little writing exercise got popular for some reason, so I decided to write another one because why not.

[arin-loves-to-sim]

K I don't know how many times I'm gonna redo this whole side-blog thing (I deleted the last one) but here's a legit art blog. For traditional, digital, maybe some reblogs? Idk.

So yeah go follow it if you're into that

Parker sells the Café partly because I forgot about it and partly because they only had 24k to their name and way too many bills.

With the baby on the way, Fleurette and Jace (finally) get married.

[arin-loves-to-sim]

that’s... that’s not right

[arin-loves-to-sim]

NO NO NO

I’M NOT READY D:

[arin-loves-to-sim]

Celeste went out on the town with some friends, and Augustín of all people showed up.

[arin-loves-to-sim]

I’m on DeviantArt now (finally lol) and I’m opening commissions! Woohoo! And they’re all under 10 bucks. If you’re unfamiliar with dA’s commission system, here’s a handy link explaining how it works. (The picture is a link btw, it goes to my page.)

More info under cut.

And all for under 1,000 pts/ $10 too! (for offers, please go to the commission widget on my page!) Typically, I don't do people, just OCs, HOWEVER there might be some room to move around this, since I've done it before. For all OC requests, I will need refs! I will also add my signature to all drawings. I will begin working on all commissions after the 2-week waiting period, so act fast! In the future, I may add chibis and adoptables to the list. LINEART- can be black if you don't want colors, can also be a headshot, bust, or full body lineart- same price! I can make it a transparent PNG, PSD file, or even a SAI file for you to color yourself! HEADSHOT- with a nice background that is a flat color. Can be a rectangle (as in examples) or fully filled in. BUST- The examples don't show, but I will add a simple patterned BG at your request! FULL BODY- As you can see, it isn't exactly -full- body, but that's only because I don't typically draw full bodies. It will require some trial and error, though. A simple or patterned BG can be added at your request!
