11 Questions!

Rule #1: Always post the rules. Rule #2: Answer the questions from the person who asked, then write 11 new ones. Rule #3: Tag 11 people!

I was tagged by syreni-sims!

1.) What is your least favorite expansion/stuff pack of any game in the series, and why?

Pets. I love the pets and everything, but I’m really lazy and sims don’t autonomously train them.

2.) How long do you play your created families for, on average?

I try for a season at a time to start off with. In terms of when do I stop playing, when the neighbourhood goes wonky or I swap out my CC and lose all motivation to fix broken genetics.

3.) What is your favorite thing about the Simblr community?

How unified it is. Speaking on behalf of the Sims 2 community, because I’m not involved in the others. And all the amazing content, obviously!

4.) What feature do you want to see in future Sims games?

I’d like for future games to have decent life stages. The Sims 4 just missed the mark for me, teens don’t grow when they become adults and the jump from boob-milk to backpacks and lunch boxes didn’t win me over.

5.) Just how well do you know Simlish?

Not very well, at all.

6.) What dominantly takes up your CC folder besides clothing?

Anything build/buy, possibly my mods folder. It needs culling but they loading of doom is annoying. Is there a fix for that bug yet? I don’t actually have clothing in my game aside from defaults.

7.) Any supernatural being you wish existed in the Sims franchise?

No, not really. Maybe imps or other nature-y sprites?

8.) What is your headcanon about Bella Goth?

Her and Mortimer had a plan for the abduction, with the intent of them both visiting. Bella insisted she went first and would leave a sign for Mort when she arrived safe. She’s left that signal everyday since she’s been gone. Mort missed the first 3 and since has sworn off the telescope.

9.) Choose one: The Sims 1 + All Expansions or The Sims 3 Base Game?

Sims 1 + all the things. Sims 3 eats my PC for breakfast, and sims needs take all day to fill and drain at the speed of light.

10.) Choose one: Custom Genetics (hair, eyes, skin) or Custom Clothing?

Skin!

11.) Choose one: Nina Caliente or Dina Caliente?

Dina, she just screams ‘cool step-mum’.

It’s late and I’m tired, so no tags today I’m afraid! Thanks again for tagging me syreni-sims! ^^

Alrighty friends, here’s an in-depth look at my bullet journal, the process I use, and my specific pages for the past few weeks.

(Don’t forget to change the mode of reblog to text post, not link, if that’s what you want.)

To start things off, here’s my cover:

The paint is chipping just a wee bit, and I need to get a perfect method down for painting the covers, but I decided to dress up my Moleskine, as I have multiple and they all look exactly the same. When I get a better method down, I’ll post a tutorial so other people can decorate their Moleskines too!

If we open the cover, we have my legend and the start of my index.

As my schedule will be changing next semester, and thus so will the colors I’ve been using, I’ll probably make a new legend at the start of the summer or next semester. As for my index, I have it separated into two columns, one for the description of the item, and one for the page number.

It also covers two pages.

As you can also see above, I have my schedule for the semester written out, with the squares colored in with their coordinating pens from the legend. I have the name of the class, the time it begins, the time it ends, and the room it meets in listed. I think I may add the professor (or TA for labs and discussion) next semester since I’ll be taking even more classes. We’ll see.

Next we have my monthly layout.

I chose this layout because I had originally intended on having a task list for the month along the left-hand side, but next time I will definitely be cutting that and using the whole two pages for my calendar view.

I also have a condensed monthly view.

This is used for a easier way for me to see how packed which parts of the months will be, and stuff like that.

And now we move into my daily pages.

The first (above) are really quite boring.

And sometimes my colors align extremely well.

Sometimes I get distracted during studying and start doodling professional lettering into my pages.

This one is by risarodil, and you should go check out her stuff–it’s amazing! I’m currently out of color ink, else I would have printed it and placed the original with her name on it in my book.

This page is my favorite.

Crowded yet organized, colorful, bright. I have a test tomorrow and a project due the day after, hence the boxes of studying to-do lists (which I LOVE by the way–they’re super helpful).

As you can see, I put the number of the day and which day of the week it is along the side, with the number in a circle along a “ribbon” and the day listed in orange (go Pokes!) across the top of each day. I also color along the ribbon different colors (actually the order the colors are in the Staedtler pen case) to help separate the days a little more visually.

The supplies I use are:

Staedtler Triplus Fineliner pens, porous point, 10 count

Moleskine hardcover journal, large

Pilot G2 05 pens

Staedtler 925 Drafting Pencil, 05mm HB

Pilot Frixion pens (the kind with the Japanese writing all over it).

Let me know what you all think, and feel free to show me your bullet journals!

#what I needed in college #I had a school planner but jeez it just seemed to be for homework #I need all the things planned yeah?#starting one for this year soon #nonsims

I got into uni! Whoooooo! Yep I'm taking baaa (is meant to be BA but who needs caps?) Politics, as you can tell by the title paper doodle of my note book - featuring my bae, Kropotkin. I've got a couple of backlight issues with my laptop at the mo, and I'm having the same issue with my game as lilithpleasant, cross fingers that all gets fixed soon so I can join you guys in playing!

#anyone that I've ever sent a pic to will know that bed throw #it's like a staple on my bed #but uni yay!#I start at the end of September #and I've only got weekends at work during that time #anyway #non sims #nonsims

I’m trying to get into exteriors/gardens.

Also, I went all this time without knowing I had the reflective water mod! Silly me.

... sometimes more.

Anyone have an idea how day cares can work in this game?

Shamlessly copying missmittensims.

Still waiting for my security interview so started something else! I was inspired by missmittensims recent city shots, and really wanted to try out a city/fishing town type thing! I created this map solely to use those embankment pieces I can never usually use.

#i really wanna try out the prosperity challenge #like really bad #maybe when this is all built up #not like i have a bacc and another hood to build #my pass at work is taking forever #so im house bound until i get a call for my security interview #i don't mind though #it just means skyrim in the morning and sims before bed #im too stubborn to level up more than the skills i use #so im stuck at level 40 something on my current save #sigh #anyway #sims 2 #ts2 #the sims 2

pensblr replied to your post“I may or may not have just bought all three addons for Skyrim. They...”

Regret nothing...when you buy add-ons for games you enjoy. Have fun! :)

I needed this message yesterday, cos I was feeling kinda sad, no not sad, can’t explain it, that I’d just bought away hours of my time on this game. Then I read this and remembered the amount of time and money I’d spent of the Sims. Didn’t feel so bad after that! :P
