Weekly simming 7/2015

Time for another one of these weekly simming things!


This week, I feel I've been quite productive, and happy with the work I've done.

First, I finished my round of checking clothes, hair and houses in Alphabetia. I decided to put back a couple of old hairs, because Carl, Carla, Clyde and Ramin just didn't look like themselves in any of the fancy new hairs that I now have. Now they look like themselves although not entirely matchy matchy with the rest of the 'hood. Oh well. Not that my game is absolutely 100% Maxis Match at all times, anyway.

Then, I went ahead and finally built that third vacation home for the Bookacies, in Takemizu village. I posted some pictures of it here. Now I just have to remember have Cho or Nicholas buy it next rotation, so I have that taken care of before the first downgrade.

I've also written a bit again. I seem to be on 113 slides on the next Bookacy chapter, which is 9 slides more than a week ago. Slowly but surely, it's getting there.

And now, in the weekend, I've done something quite different. I've spent the majority of my simming time in CAS, making possibly more sims than I have in all the time I've been playing. Not original sims, though (thank goodness, I can just imagine how long *that'd* take!), but Maxis playables as you can see. There, thankfully, it boils down to downloading, finding in CAS, checking outfits, and looking up personalities and aspirations online.

I've been wanting to do a BaCC for a longish time, so I decided that this was as good a time as any. After all the hard work with the downloads and stuff, I deserve something that's just for fun, and I need to mentally steel myself before next rotation, which is when a lot of the gen. Bs are gonna go. Plus, thinking ahead, once I'm done with gen. D's college years, I'm facing the rebuild, and that's when I'm going to need something else to play, and something that doesn't exhaust me in a half a sim day, like the apocalypse does. All good excuses to start yet another challenge, right? ... right?

Since I rarely do anything with the pre-mades and frequently see other people have fun with them, I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone. So they will act as my townies. I'm planning to document, but I'm forbidding myself from any and all plot (if you see some trying to sneak in, please hit me with something...), and I'm also planning to limit the length of my updates.


So, back to CAS I suppose, the Smiths are apparently next on my list. I'm pretty happy with this week, I hope next week continues to be good!

Sooo looking forward to seeing your BaCC! Betcha didn't see that coming, eh? ;)

Matchy-matchy is not required, and as long as you refrain from giving anyone else those styles, you can pull them eventually.

It sounds like you're making progress and having fun, and that's the point of the endeavor, so well done Katri! *\o/*

I play maxis-match, with a few exceptions - it happens :) Which hairs are they? Cause it might be possible to retexture/recolour them to be more maxis match if necessary.

A BaCC sounds fun, looking forward to seeing what you do with that :)
