Lady Silverwolf's Simlishness

I finally managed to get my hands on SC4 Mapper, and SC4 Terraformer, although the latter is not necessary. I just thought I would see how it would affect the landscaping. So my plan is to redesign some of the original Desiderata Valley, and mold the surrounding areas in mind with the story I want to tell. I highly doubt I will provide WIP images for that, since I personally do not see any excitement in someone wanting to see that being done.

I confess a certain portion of my Desiderata story will eventually link up to the Apocalyptic Challenge I eventually plan on doing. and if I fail at the challenge the story will go on. That is why I have not exactly started that challenge yet. I just need to go over the rules for it to decide if I can really truly do it the way I want to do it, or end up taking two of the sims from Desiderata Story-line and plop them down into the challenge.

The medieval hood is not going as well as I thought it would be. I have TONS of content to start building it, but I just have not been inspired for a story, but I WANT a medieval hood. My original concept was going to be about a game I used to play, but that has since change because I don't want to recommend that game any longer because of the toxic environment that now exists there. I won't name it either, so please do not ask.  I guess you could say this is my way of boycotting it. So... I need to find another inspiration for my medieval hood.I really want to see a lot of the "Sun and Moon Factory" objects in action, just because I feel they deserve some screen time; a whole lot of love went into those creations and Yeah.. this is perhaps one way for me to remember Sunni.

Believe it or not, I just recently learned what BACC is. I queried the web once or twice trying to figure out what it mean, when somewhere, I eventually found the answer. I thought perhaps I could challenge myself to use Maxis Match for it, but seeing as I have been planning other things, this one will be on a back burner for the moment. But I really would like to build a city (challenge) from a singular family just to see if I can do it.

And for my Alien Hood... I have a plan, but its gonna take a while to get to it. I first need to get through my story for Desiderata Valley...

The whole reason for this particular post is to state the obvious. Everything is currently in production behind the scenes. I am nearly done with my project although I have not posted any more WIPs posts. (I really do need to remember to take more pics of WIPs)  I had to step away from it for a short bit because I was distracted by shinnies (World of Warcraft), and because I had hit a pot-hole in the road with it. But.... its back to work again, and I am nearing completion. Once I have that done, then its moving on to making two more objects for my Hospital that will be the center of the story (or should I say.. stories).

Originally I started playing The Sims what seems a lifetime ago. I got my hands on the "The Sims Complete Collection" when it was on sale and the copyright information indicates that was somewhere around 2005, but I think it may have been a year after its release that I actually purchased it. I played it off and on, downloading custom content from places like TSR, Around the Sims, and a few others. I would play it until it crashed, then walk away from the game frustrated, feeling as if I had not had the chance to finish my simmy stories, only to come back around a couple of months later to start anew.

This went on for several years, and I never looked for solutions, or asked questions simply because I had not thought to even look into communities for that kind of information. Then one day, I found the Sims2 Double Deluxe version on sale, and purchased it even though I could not install it. My low-end system simply could not handle the graphics nor did it have enough memory. So it was a couple of years later that I finally managed to install it (suddenly having found it buried in the back of my desk drawer) but only after another failed sims1 session had crashed yet again. When the crashed happened, I said, "That's it, not playing sims1 anymore, oh wait!- I have sims2!!!! " This all happened during the summer of 2014.
