It has been ages since I’ve even logged in here.  Just haven’t had the time or the motivation to keep it up since having my daughter.  I do want to start a new story though.  I’ve got something planned for these two little monsters I’ve been plotting out for a while now.

I want to load up my sims 3 game, and see the snow falling on my home all decorated with twinkling lights.  <3 Ts3 forever!

Lilo and Stitch presenting an accurate representation of Hawaiians perspective on luaus held by tourists. 

#what’s sad about this is that this is actually what Hawaiians had to do when the western culture took over #a luau was a sacred practice #until the westerners took the concept and had the audacity to change it into a time to stuff your face with food and put on grass skirts and coconut bras and dance the hula #and when they had these events, they didn’t even let actual Hawaiian people in #so to make money to take care of themselves, the Hawaiians were hired to work in these disgraceful events to clean up after the tourists like slaves only to make less than a buck #so good job disney for doing your fucking research and educating these people #sadly, this still goes on even until today and it makes me sick

Real talk whoever the creative team on this movie was should stage a coup of Disney and just make more real shit like L&S

Produced by the same company that holds regular "Fakey Luaus" at their Polynesian Resort where they charge tourists upwards of 100 dollars a ticket to sit and watch Polynesian people do the hula and sing Elvis songs. Somebody may have gotten it right...but it wasn't on purpose!

So I've been playing ts4 for a few days now, and I have to say the game isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  There is a great deal of potential as far as the game play goes, particularly with sim interactions and relationships which in my opinion was something severely lacking in ts3.  There are a lot of little things in the game that I love.  Things like the ability to have a drink and snack at the bar while chatting up the other patrons, or eating dinner in front of the tv.  I love the fact that sims now take their time while eating dinner, and I love the new recipes and cooking options.  These are small things, but for some reason they really have an impact on my feelings towards the game.  It gives me hope for all the possibilities for the future of the game.  I can see the latenight/nightlife expansions.  The bars are already in the game (which makes me very happy) the dates and restaurants seem like an obvious choice for an expansion.  I can see this game following a path closer to ts2, which for me is something I desperately would like to see.

However there are things about this game that as of right now I hate.  Personally I think the graphics are just plain ugly.  I know that cc will improve the looks of the sims themselves, but the harsh overly vibrant pixaresque landscapes are just hard  on the eyes.  I really loved the amazing landscapes in ts3.  I loved being able to zone out and spy on my neighbors.  I loved the open maps and the feeling of being a part of the world that it gave.  I don't care how much lag declines (my game never lagged enough to make it unplayable, with the exception of the IP world)  It's not enough( for me anyways) to make up for the loss of such an amazing feature.  I can live without cast if I must...but the lack of a truly open world is really hurting this games likeability for me.

My other big problem is with babies.  Considering the complete loss of toddlers, the fact that babies are nothing more than an after thought is really sad.  They cannot be interacted with beyond the bassinet.  Though with time this may change, for now it makes them utterly useless to the game all together.  I loved being able to create a nursery for my expectant mothers.  That's not an option anymore.  Could they not have at least given us some cribs, or baby decor?  Twice I've had pregnant sims, and both times I aged up the baby because they were just plain boring to play.  I really hope this issue is addressed by the next expansion, because it could really be a deal breaker for me.

I do see potential for ts4 as a game, but I don't see it as a game I'm willing to invest hundreds of dollars on unless some things change soon. TS3 is a beautiful game, and despite it's flaws, it's not an easy act to follow with something as simple as better sim interactions, and multitasking.

Sorry I haven't been around lately, but I recently found out I'm pregnant, and it's kind of freaking me out. 

Gonna try to get in game and finish up a couple of lots I've been working on.  Hopefully I'll be able to get them up by the weekend.

I built this lot to use as a Squatters lot for homeless Sims.   It does contain a lot of third party cc and requires the The Now & Then Century Manor 

from the store...or elsewhere if you prefer.   This lot is 3/4 bedroom...kind of, and is decay decorated.

Ink - A Midnight Sun Island

The island is meant to use for the Midnight Sun Challenge, love it, hate it, enjoy it. <3 -Click here for an aerial view of the world-

The world contains 4 lots:

1 Residential Lot for your intrepid sim (35x33)

3 Diving lots created by me (Level 1, Level 3 and Level 6)

Island Paradise is obviously required, because of my awesome diving lots, don’t ask me what will happen if you don’t have it… 

There are also almost all the spawners from all EP’s. And I suggest to add some fishing spawners in the principal lot (like I did, and it was a great idea so far xD) 

Last but not least… Use the nraas Register mod to get rid of all the crap the game generates.  Spend all of your money on a PC to use it! ;)
