Sarcastic Simming

I've abandoned Sims for the time being, so you can find me on one of my other blogs, either the fandom one or the supernatural one, links for both are below.

I have a box of ties...and a box of buttons, a few bags of fabric, several spools of thread, and,...

Not Sims, but if anyone is interested I’ve been learning to make things (sewing, knitting, etc), and so I’ve made a side blog to post about it.

[fallynephemeron]

For those of you who are interested,  I got a forum going!

It’s pretty lame, I have no clue what I’m doing,  but it’s a place to specifically discuss writing and plotting and characters and things like that.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN.

it’s pretty much empty right now, but i put a few threads up.

How to have separate games in sims 3!

This was something I learned when playing sims 2 and I’ve been using it for sims 3 too. But I thought maybe some of you don’t know about this useful trick. It’s especially nice for cc creators, you can have a fresh game for just testing out things. Have different styled games? No worries, you can have one game file dedicated for medieval cc and one for realistic gameplay! This includes things installed through launcher, so you don’t have to even look at those huge city worlds on your world list when picking out the perfect fantasy world.

All you have to do is name your game folder to something descriptive like “The Sims 3 - realistic gameplay”. Anything goes really as long as you keep The Sims 3 on the name for easy changing. Start up your game and let it generate a new, fresh game folder. You should make a copy of that one so you don’t have to generate a new one every time you want to start something new.

Now all you have to do is change the names when you want to change your gameplay. Name the one you want to use just “The Sims 3″ and the game uses that folder. When you want to use the other folders, just name the current one you are using again to something descriptive and any of the other ones back to “The Sims 3“.

BUMP because I too think that some of this community don’t know about this awesome trick. I’m using this method everytime I want to test new CC without having to wait for my full game to load! Super easy!!  (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

WHAT

[simlicious]

Any Game Starter 3 is a program that is designed to manage custom profiles much more comfortably though.You can add custom profiles and switch addons on or off, start profiles via the launcher or bypass it, even lets you specify the location of the profiles so you can have them on another harddrive if you want. I wouldn’t want to play without it :)

Tutorial: Get Dynamic Depth of Field & Other Post-Processing Effects in TS3

Unedited Screenshots

What is ReShade?

Version 2.0 includes all the SweetFX shaders plus newer and exclusive ones. It also allows you to keep using the game’s own anti-aliasing/edge smoothing – as long as the shader you wish to use doesn’t rely on a depth buffer (more on that later). Shaders can be enabled/disabled and settings adjusted while in-game for instant results.

Most effects can be used during regular gameplay. Others will only be beneficial while taking screenshots or video footage as they distort the UI too much.

Basement of Natural History in Aesc Museum.

Seems I always have to include animals in a museum somewhere

I’ve been pissing about in TSRW, can you tell?

[sarcasticsmiler]

Well that turned out better than expected.

An American ship, half full of explosives (not completely full as they had some sense to remove some of the bombs), sunk off the English coast.

Which government is responsible for it?

Say something causes the explosives to detonate, be it general wear and tear, corrosion, moronic fisherman going past the buoys surrounding it and knocking something, or whatever. Hundreds, potentially thousands, die. An island decimated, coastline flooded, waves rolling up the Thames to crash against the Thames Barrier.

Which government is to blame?

New manager tried telling me that I don’t get to clock out till all the cleaning is done.

Wasn’t best pleased with me when I told him no, that I don’t spend more time in that place than I have to and that the only reason I’d stay later is if a customer has stayed too long at which point I have to stay later as I can’t empty out my self-scan machines till they finally bugger off and the doors are locked. Even then I’m only staying because no other bugger knows how to empty the damn machines.

Christ, staying later might suggest I’ve some form of loyalty to the damn company. and I’d truly hate to give that kind of impression.

Just gone on a bit of a mini clothes shopping spree and the annoying thing is I can’t seem to stop, even though I feel kinda guilty about spending the money.

But I shouldn’t feel guilty, everything I’m getting is on sale or from places that do it cheaper anyway, the most expensive thing I’ve bought was £9 and that’s actually for shoes and that was only because the delivery was 99p.

Everything is under a tenner and I still feel bad for spending money.

Including postage I’ve spent about sixty quid, about a tenner of that is postage, so really I’ve not spent as much as I could’ve done if I’d gone shopping down town. Christ you could spend that on just two items in one shop down town. I hate clothes shopping, so much, it’s alot more enjoyable to do it online, even if there’s the potential that you may have to send it back.

I’ve just come to the distressing realisation that I live on an island that doesn’t have a book shop

The closest thing to one we have is a shitty little oxfam shop in town and a couple of supermarkets that contain a woefully small section for books.

How I never realised this before I don’t know, but then the only time I go down town is when I have to go to the main library there instead of the little local one that’s about a 5-10 minute walk away. A main library which, might I add, they down sized from a whole building to a single floor in the newly refurbished council offices. I suppose something should’ve twigged whenever I walked out of that library with arms full of books and I’d get weird looks from the people walking past me.

I feel the need to drive to Rochester now and lose myself in Baggins, wander it’s book filled passages and hibernate in it’s little history alcove.

I came out of work today to find someone had put two bags under my windscreen wiper.

These bags were the two different Star Wars bags that you can get in Tesco.

I’ve wanted to get them for weeks but never found the time to go to Tescos.

Only one person knew I wanted them.

A customer I talk to every week.

We were only talking about them yesterday, and now they’ve suddenly appeared on my car.

The annoying thing is I’ve been allocated holiday next week so I won’t be in to ask him about it. I’ve got to wait till the week after and hope he comes in.

[sarcasticsmiler]

A weird thing happened in work today, well weird for me, and it’s thrown me a bit off balance.

Now its not been the best of days to begin with, I’ve felt a bit off since I woke up, like I was watching everything from a distance, and my temper had been rather quick to rile. So at work I probably looked like a right moody bitch.

Anyway this guy comes in and I’m standing there basically praying that he doesn’t come over because I just don’t have the energy to deal with him. He also works there but different department and different shifts to me, so I only see him when he comes in to do shopping. Last time he came in he loitered about my area for about 3-4 hours, it got to the point that even the managers asked what was going on and I could only shrug and say ‘I don’t know’, because he honestly had no reason to stay. Today he didn’t loiter, he walked past me a few times, said ‘hello’ then wandered off again. I thought I was in the clear. I was wrong.

He came back again after walking past me another 2-3 times and started talking to me, now I was barely paying attention and only answering the bare minimum as I was trying to sort some things out and, as I said, I just wasn’t in the mood to deal with him, I didn’t have the energy to don the bright, cheery persona I have for customers.

Then just when I thought he was going away he said, completely out of the blue, ‘Do you want to go on a date?’

My brain screeched to a halt, I felt like a deer in the headlights. I know how to respond in most social situations. But I’m woefully lacking in this area. Shit like this does not happen to me, pretty much ever. I mean, how the hell is one meant to react in such a situation?

Perhaps I should’ve asked him to clarify what was said, after all I was only listening with half an ear, but instead I squeaked out a ‘no, thank you’ and returned to my task, internally screaming ‘what the fuck?’ I basically know nothing about this guy, I don’t even know his name.  All I know is what department he works in, and that he creeps me out a bit.

The whole thing left me off kilter and defensive, and I just...I don’t understand. Why would he do that?

[sarcasticsmiler]

I swear I turn my back for less than a minute and the dogs are up to something.

I ended up pointing an accusing finger at them going ‘you step away from the chocolate cake, we’ve talked about this, you’re on a diet. And you get your tongue out of my tea, I know where that’s been’

If one more person laughingly tells me that Wales doesn’t have any history I will not be held accountable for my actions.

[sarcasticsmiler]

I’ve just managed to jab myself in the eye with my glasses and I feel so betrayed.

Those fuckers are suppose to help me see, not bloody blind me!
