The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

It's been a while since I've done one of these picspam gathering posts, but now that I'm about a quarter of the way through with the main 'hood rotation in Alphabetia, I figured it was about time.

If you follow my Tumblr, you've probably aready seen them, and if you start from the top of the blog, you'll get them in the reverse order (because I post them in the order they happen). In any case, here they are, family by family.

Phillips: 1 2 3
Riley: 1 2 3
Thayer: 1 2 3 4
Bruenig: 1 2 3 4

And finally, here are some college makeovers! Glad to have some progress in Alphabetia. :)

Still thinking hard about the rebuild, but since I seem to have sorted a couple of the issues that first looked like neighborhood corruption, I might yet wait and see. The 'hood probably has some corruption (after all, it's from 2007), but perhaps we can manage some time yet. In any case, it doesn't mean I can't plan for the rebuild, even start building the new 'hood on the side if I want. Maybe that'd be a good idea.

Alright, here comes some picspam that has been posted along a rather long stretch of time. Slooowwly I'm making my way through the winter rotation.

Here it is, on my Tumblr. If you start from the top and go towards the bottom, you'll get the entries in a backwards order, as they were posted in the order I played them.

Entry by entry:

Phillips: 1 2
Riley: 1 2
Thayer 1 2

Finally, here are the college makeovers for the first sims to go to college: Dirk, Camilla and Donovan. Yay!

Alright, that's it for now. Back to working on my CreMo goal (it's so close but still so far...), and then to backing up everything, just to be safe.

*peeks in* So I haven't posted for the past... over two months? Oops. Let me ramble about that a bit, but first, let's have some picspam. On my Tumblr as usual. Entry by entry:

Main house: Just one picture
Phillips: 1 2
Riley: 1 2
Thayer: 1 2

Oh, and I've again updated the teen crew post. We have four new teens, and the total is now 19.

( So what's up? )

I've been trying out this Tumblr thing for my picspams, and well, so far I like it. I've posted picspam on four families now, and instead of the usual 2-3 hours, it has taken me, like, 30 minutes in total, tops. So, there's picspam for you here.

Or, entry by entry:

Phillips 1 2
Riley 1
Thayer 1
Bruenig 1

It's not as much as I used to post, but that's probably for the best. Also, it's substantially more than I have been posting lately. I haven't yet caught up with my playing, but at this rate, I should be able to, and in a reasonable time too. I hope having picspams elsewhere is not terribly inconvienient for you; for me it seems pretty nice so far. The experiment continues.

Also, I've updated the teen crew post with a whopping two teens! Progress, we have some.

Okay, so. Thought I'd again try to catch up on the picspam a bit, since I have yet some backlog. So, three more houses, and kinda exciting houses too. For me at least. :)

( Exciting? How so? 160+ pics )

And now for something completely different! I felt a bit tired to be opening my game tonight to shoot the mega!wedding (I did get the formal outfix thing fixed, though), nor do I really feel like writing much, so I thought I could pick up where we last left with the autumn picspam. Ahem. In August. *innocent*

I'm starting to realize that I can't possibly do commented picspam for every rotation, every house anymore. A) It'd drive me nuts and B) I'd never have time to actually *play* if I did. But, I'll try to finish this rotation of picspam that I started, and for the winter rotation I'll figure out something different, maybe.

Anywho, onwards to spam!

( 2 more houses, 60+ pictures )

Right. That was two more houses for you. More whenever the mood strikes; hopefully sooner than in *ahem* three months, though. :P

Alright, I believe I promised some grow-up spam a while ago. In fact, these pics have been sitting on my computer for about a week, as I've put off putting up the picspam, because it's so HUGE. Meanwhile, I've been busy extracting, re-dressing and re-extracting sims, and now I should have a no-cc version of everyone who is at least an adult at this point. Missing are some supporting characters, like count Pao, whom I'll need to first de-vamp, then extract and then re-vamp. (I'm not sure if I can get Lauren, apparently I'd need to de-witch, extract and re-witch to get rid of the poison green skin, but I'd like her to stay the grand witch still.) There's still a long way to go for the download archive, but at least I've gotten started.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings, on with the picspam!


The Mendoza twins appear to think I've gone crazy for posting so much picspam.

( Click here for a crazy amount of picspam! )

Phew, that sure was a loooong picpam! But, now those growings up are done for a while, and I get to look forward to some weddings and babies in Alphabetia. Yay! :)

Now that I'm finished with the college rotation, I thought it's about time to share some college picspam. I'll try not to share too much from the main house, to keep from spoiling plottiness or anything. Let's just say that plot bunnies are running in my head and yes, they breed like mad. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but some sims have given me food for thought...

Luckily there's been stuff going on in the extended family too, and that's what the picspam will mostly be about. So, let's dive right in shall we?

( College picspam - including demented purple hearts and such )

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!

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.
