The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

Alright, so can I do happy post now? Yes? Yay!

So, undefeated by Gadwin, I went back to my most recent backup - and luckily, with me fearing computer explosion, it was from just before the playsession that didn't go on tape. And I re-played it to where I was. Now with pictures!

( Mini-spam this way )

Last time when I posted, it was quite late in the evening, so I decided to split my picspam into two, in order not to stay up all night. So, this is the second part of the picspam, covering two more houses.

( Pics pics pics )

So, that's it for my picspam this time around. I think that now makes the first three things on my recent todo, so next up is the quickie rotation and maybe some photoshooting in various hoods.

There hasn't been terribly much progress lately on the Bookacy front. After putting out the latest chapter, I've managed to play Cyrus and Bobby through graduation, but both are still on campus, Cyrus because he's needed for plot, and Bobby because he's not going anywhere before Cyrus is. But I've still got the rest of the college rotation in in front of me.

So, that's why I thought I'd show off some of my trials in the photoshoot hood (the name of which, incidentally, is Photoshoot Hood), as well as some (gasp!) non-Bookacy picspam.

( Photoshooting and non-Bookacy pictures this way! )

So that's it for the picspam this time. I'll try to post some Bookacy picspam when I've gotten myself to play more of the rotation.

... or technically, one of the last engagements of last generation. But anyway, the first one in this college round, yay!

( Meet the future mr. and mrs. ... )

So this is what I've been up to. I'm still working on uploading the rest of my chapters to Dreamwidth. The process is kinda slow, that's what you get for being a perfectionist and fixing things by hand. It's been also pretty draining, especially seeing how discouragingly bad the earlier chapters are... There are many in the later ones I'm not happy with in retrospect, but what's done is done I guess. At least it shows I've (hopefully) learned something.

So anyway, that's what I've been doing in the simming side of things. Today I needed a break from the chapter converting, so this is why we have engagements.

So it was some time ago that I posted the first part of my summer picspam. The summer rotation has now been done with for a while, so I suppose it's about time I posted MOAR picspam. I've lately been playing college, and it has been a blast, but that's again something for another time.

( Without further ado, time for some main hood picspam! )

Phew. I think that's about it for the rest of the rotation. Fun has been had again, and college means even more fun. I'll need to share pics some other time, promise. =)

Alright, so this time I decided not to post a full rotation of picspam at once. I learn from my mistakes. So, now you get a couple of houses worth, up to where I've played. Not all houses are even included in this rotation, since the kids are in college and the nest is empty. But first, before that, let's...

( ... start with some slightly spoilery Sal stuff! )

So that's what's up in Alphabetia recently. Maybe I should post some college picspam too, but that'll have to wait for another time, I'm not up for that right now. Anyway, things are progressing, little by little. Next in line to be played are Bill and Sandy, I suppose I'll get to them today. More picspam after I've played more!

Alright, long time no post. So it's about time I showed some picspam - especially now that I'm done with the spring rotation, yay! Next I got to figure out what to do with the college rotation system, before I start either playing Cyrus and Bobby more, or adding new students to houses. And I suppose I should also slowly start putting the beginning of the next chapter together.

But anyway, here's some picspam from the past spring rotation. There's been some sadness when the elders have passed on, and there's been some main house stuff, and those I'm mainly skipping.

( Spring picspam, lots of it! (Pixellated nekkidness inside, plus questionable behaviour) )

Phew. I think that's about it for what's going on in Alphabetia currently. So yeah, I've been playing some. :) Note to self: next time post picspam earlier to avoid a typing marathon... Anyway, next time I think it's time for some college makeovers!

I've been meaning to post some behind the scenes material and other picspam for a while, but haven't felt up for it. Now, rather than start up my game, I felt like I could type up some behind the scenes. I finally get to talk about some of these things. (In the end find some regular picspam, too.) So here we go, be forewarned, this picspam is going to be huge!

( Let's start with the spoilery stuff - if you haven't read 25 and 26, spoiler alarms will sound! )

So, I think that's about it for today's behind the scenes & picspam. I'm sorry if the order of things was a little confusing, my train of thought seems to be difficult to follow right now, even for me. =D Must be the tiredness.

I've been shooting some plottiness lately, but that's not what I'll show you today - no spoilers. =) I've also played a little bit of rotation here and there when I've felt more like just playing. The plottiness has kinda messed up my rotation order a bit.

The last family I've played are the Patches. And well, I would have thought two popularity sims would be perfectly happy with one child.

( It seems I was wrong )

So that's what's up with that line of the family. Only a mini-picspam this time. As said, I'm working on the next chapter, but it's not very close yet. Anyway, every now and then I just need to play. =)

Just thought I'd type up a little entry on what's up.

Well, as I wrote on Boolprop, I finished the rotation, or just about. I've got a couple of days left here and there, to be able to shoot plottiness. I've written I think 16 slides of the next update. So slowly but surely. I'd need to get better underway with that before I can start shooting the plottiness for real.

I've had the upcoming plot in my head somewhat formed for ages and ages. It should be the biggest piece of plottiness ever since the story of Rebecca. So I'm pretty excited. I've been on a downloading spree for a few days, discovering lots and lots of cool stuff on MTS, mostly clothes. And because of the plottiness, I downloaded these poseboxes, freezer clocks and whatnot. Today I wrote a little bit, and when I got bored of that, decided to try out the new stuff a little, and shoot some better photos of some of my gen B's. I knew I needed to do that anyway, for the who's who entry. It was quite fun. I especially love the freezer clock. Of course, in shooting photos of single sims it's not as useful as it would be for group scenes. But it keeps the others out of the way - plus the stopping of time is a very, very nice thing indeed.

So anyway. No promises, but I'm hoping to get the who's who posted soonish. (Dammit, Laura, did you have to get yourself pregnant just now? Only after you did start showing have I noticed that I don't have very good pics of you. Oh well. I suppose I'll settle for some old ones and maybe try to get a good facial shot with you pregnant then.)

So anyway, after this rambling, have some pretty random...

( Teen picspam, including minor *headdesk* )

So that's it for my ramblings and minor picspam for today. Now I think I should be off to bed. G'night!
