#confetti's random posts

i keep starting up new meshing projects instead of finishing up the ones i started when i couldn’t access SimPE... :-Y to be fair, i have yet to transfer them to this computer, but still. ahh i want to learn how to make columns so i can finish remaking the cute flag-garland columns/fences from TS1. i also want to learn how to make windows, but i’m a little scared about the multiple materials, transparency, and everything.

btw, playing earlier, i also realised just how many food/snack/drink stands TS1 had!! i had forgotten the sheer amount of them since last i played. TS2 had what, one coffee stand? laaaame. :-P

the “tiny treasures” sets on MTS are a little small for belbie (and i think i made her fairly realistically sized for a barbie? she’s about the size of half my sim’s arm, which is how big the barbie next to me is too, so)...

also, those are really high-poly for being so tiny! that’s nice if you want very detailed screenshots... but i think i’ll be making my own mini furniture both for the size and polycount reasons. hm, i guess i should make posed dolls too, so i can have belbie sitting. :-9

it is happening. :-DDDD

and yes, this comp has been turned on for all of 3 hours and i’ve already changed the desktop theme to look like old windows (it’s win 7). i’ve also disabled all the touchpad fancy stuff that i could. i think i may be an old person.

random idea while i work on meshes... 

i started thinking about the cakes in TS4 where you can choose what topping to put on top of the base, and now i’m thinking, what if you made a (non-edible) cake for TS2 with placement slots on top of it so you could put any deco on it. :-P then again, non-edible food is kind of boring i guess haha... 

this has been Bad CC Ideas brought to you by confetti’s brain. tune in again next time :-)

*realised we had some money in paypal* 

*bought TS4 :-DD * 

but i won’t play until in a couple hours or something, it’s still downloading and i’m busy trying to draw, so. (i’ll probably make a sideblog for TS4, not because i think i’ll post a ton of it, but i know i find it a little difficult following blogs that post too much "non-TS2” myself...)

my simming aunt’s computer crashed a week or two ago, and she ended up buying a new “gamer god” computer, lol. (i want one too! :-S )  anyway, yesterday i spent a few hours at her place re-installing TS2. the new comp has Win8 so i was a little worried, but i installed everything in The Right Order (actually ignoring patches though, since i figured it had worked on her old computer without them) and it ended up working as long as you bypass the launcher. *phew* 

i had totally forgotten that the original TS2 had 4 installation discs hahah. good thing i had brought over our games since we had the 1-disc DVD version (bought as a backup at some point). 

i reeeally want to play BV though ;__; i need to get a windows comp so i can install the origin ultimate collection! i’ve lost access to the comp i currently play on again since its owner brought it with them on a trip *sigh*. my current hope is that i’ll be able to sell my stocks and afford a PC, but it’s likely that i’ll be able to get TS4 for the stationary mac before that, at least... 

oh yeah, even if i do want to play TS4, i can guarantee you i won’t “switch over” to that or something. i’ve watched lots of let’s-plays already and it’s obvious that TS2 is much better suited for my needs, but i just really like the environment and graphics in TS4 so i’d like to play it too :-9
