Just found out this morning, on Facebook, from her daughter Story, that @fuzzyspork died on June 28th. She finally lost her fight with cancer.

I'm going to miss her bright shining light in the Sims 2 community.

If you have time, go send her a message so her family will know how much we all loved her.

[fuzzyspork]

thank you, holleyberry.

me and my dad are still sorting things out after her passing and I feel a bit strung out trying to get the news out on all her socials so thanks for making the post for me

my mom loved the sims 2 and certainly must have loved the community enough to have stayed in it all these years, and I can clearly see many of you have loved her back

thank you for being part of her life

My Christmas tree theme for 2022 is Ancient Egypt! As usual, everything is made by me using bits and scraps from around the house. 🙂 I hope everyone has a great new year and a wonderful holiday season.

My Christmas tree theme for 2021.

This year’s tree from my other Tumblr. Handmade by me, as usual! The topper is two pie tins with some cardboard, paint, and glue. Merry Christmas! 👽

Boo.

This year’s Christmas tree theme! I hope it’s kinda obvious that it’s Ghostbusters. :P Everything was completely handmade using shrink plastic, scrap felt, old shirt boxes, and a lot of hot glue. There’s a few iconic landmarks from the movie, and of course Stay Puft attacking New York! :D

For those who don’t follow my other account, here’s this year’s tree theme! Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season. :)

Do you still have the sims from your Who's Your Daddy challenge? I know it was forever ago but I'm rereading through it now and realized you did spawn some real cuties and would be interested in downloaded a few not already up.

I’m so sorry I didn’t respond to this sooner but Tumblr never let me know I had a new message! I’m so happy someone is actually looking at my old stuff. :D I only have a few Sims saved from that challenge and they were all requests. Here’s the list.

It’s not huge, but I was going by popular demand at the time. I didn’t save more than what is listed there, unfortunately.

Hi! You may have answered this somewhere else, but I was wondering if/when you'll be posting your egyptian legacy. I wasn't sure if it was just a personal project (and I love the sneak peak pictures!) or something you were going to upload somewhere. :)

Hi. :) So here’s the deal with that. I have planned this “legacy” for nearly 10 years at this point! It was always going to be a two part process; first, I would play through ten generations under normal legacy rules, and then use clones of the born-in Sims to stage the story that I’ve (partially) already written, which is flexible enough to include inspiration from the actual play through. I can play through the legacy pretty fast, but what is causing my reluctance to start staging the story is the huge lack of ancient Egyptian CC I have.

I can probably make due with the stuff I’ve collected over the years, but it will take time to make recolors (some of it is OLD and not very good quality but the meshes are fine) which is something I just can’t seem to find the TIME for, mostly because I have to also learn how to do it as I go. Objects are one thing, but clothes… omg I need about 300 times more than what I’ve got so everyone isn’t wearing the exact same thing. In fact I really need a unique outfit for every character. And this goes for hair as well! D:

To be honest, I was kinda hoping that everyone would sort of forget I started this so I didn’t feel compelled to finish it! I’m not a quitter, but I’m unfortunately a perfectionist, so putting out something below my own standard won’t do. In that case it just doesn’t get made public. 

That doesn’t mean I won’t eventually publish it. I’ve pretty much decided to par it down considerably. I will do a series of short stories instead of the epic multi-generational drama I originally planned. But with a cast of a hundred or so characters - that’s still a lot of clothes and hair to make! :P Also, I have to build sets and backdrops and… ugh, yeah.

TL;DR version: I don’t have a planned release date for the Egyptian legacy story. The factors holding me back are bigger than the allotted time I have to devote to it. But that doesn’t mean it will never happen! I have this thing stuck in my head and I need to get it out some way or another. Maybe not how I originally planned though.

I scrolled ALL the way to the end of my blog (ow) to see what damage the Great Purge may have done, and literally the only 3 posts flagged like this are text posts. And all of them are reply posts. What is wrong with these? Is it other people’s avatars? The number of “links”? Did anyone else get this? *rolls eyes forever*

[pinkwaterfowl]

This year’s Christmas tree! All handmade, mostly out of paper and found objects. :)

[fuzzyspork]

Re-blogging myself so all of you who don’t follow my other Tumblr can see this year’s tree. :D It was a fun one to make!

[fuzzyspork]

Hey I’m back TumBLR HOLY WHAT Well that’ll teach me to be gone for a few months! And technically I’m not BACK back since the holidays are in full blurry motion and real life is way too hectic for playing Sims. I just came to say that I don’t think my blog here is in any danger, but if everyone else is about to jump ship I do have a Dreamwidth that’s years old (in fact I ported my LJ account over to it when all that happened). I’ve not yet fixed the annoying Photobucket problem, but it’s on the to-do list. I also have a 15 year old Wordpress account, but it’s... I’ll just make a new account for Sims things if that’s where everyone is going instead. fuzzyspork.wordpress.com

So that’s it! I’ll see you all again after the holidays! If I can find you.

What's TPC?

It’s the “Trailer Park Challenge” that I made for Sims 2 a few years ago. My original rules are here:  https://fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com/54535.html

My first play-through is here: https://fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com/80907.html

But it’s been adapted to the other Sims games, which is awesome!

[fuzzyspork]

Just wanted to let you know that I have adapted your TPC rules for Sims 4 and I am working on a Sims 3 version too. Thanks for making a super great challenge :)

Oh how wonderful! I’m so thrilled that people are using and adapting that challenge. The idea for which literally sprang from a drunken, late-night chat session. Haha! Thanks for the message, you made me happy. :)

[fuzzyspork]

heyyy

I know I sort of dropped off the radar again, but we’ve got a few things going on IRL that are hogging my time. Life should be back to “normal” around here next month. Of course I say that and then something else always pops up. :P In the meantime I’m in lurk mode!

[fuzzyspork]

Hey, fuzzyspork!! Just wanted to let you know I read through your TPC and it was TOO funny. I was cracking up to myself the whole way through. Going to have to give that challenge a shot myself!! Nice job 👍🏾

Ah, thanks for letting me know! :D I’ve had good feedback about the challenge and I’m still open to suggestions for rules. I’m surprised the photos still work (after the PB fiasco).  Let me know if you have questions if you play it. :)

[fuzzyspork]

You are the most creative simmer I've seen in so long. I love your content! It's so inspiring! Thank you for building cool lots. I am excited to see what you continue to come up with.

Wow, thank you for such a wonderful compliment! <3 It’s really motivating to get positive feedback. :) Hopefully I’ll have time for simming this week (life got busy again, boo). Thanks again!

[fuzzyspork]

HEY! I’m getting a lot of anon requests for stuff. Mostly silly buildings. Give me a couple of weeks for those. Some are impossible; not gonna lie. Given the 1 square per wall thing and the height thing is a “constrainfloorelevation” cheat puzzle nightmare. D; *cries*

[fuzzyspork]

GNOME HOUSE! *ahem* Your gnome house is a wonderful absolutely adorable. I'm not certain if you take requests, but would you consider creating a flamingo shaped house as well?

Haha, thanks! Sure, I’ll make a flamingo house. Or, you know, attempt to make something that looks vaguely like a flamingo. ;P
