fade into you

Previously in the Ducharme legacy Adelaide jumped the fence and started seeing a new man, Benjamin Baldwin. They got along fairly well, or at least well enough to get him into the sack where he would conceive the next Ducharme children. The house slipped into chaos with 7589763 kids running or crawling around, bitching about one thing or another. Cassie was a great help, as was grandma Sierra until she drowned in the swimming pool. Eventually Gabe Green's daughters Dahlia and Kristina went off to college with scholarships to make room for more babehs in search of a better education that could lead them to wonderful, rewarding careers. The genie visited for a second time, the family dog died and was ressurected, and Addie left her kids screaming in water puddles. So... yep.

Previously in the Ducharme legacy Adelaide slowly grew up and witnessed the passing of the family cat and her grandparents. She later witnessed the resurrection of her grandmother. Addie was denied the chance to go to private school and eventually college (my fault, heh) while the rest of the family climbed various career ladders.

Considering that I've played the Ducharmes up until the first twins of the fourth generation I should really update here, but admittedly I am feeling lazy. I can only guess my sudden interest in playing so much is the existence of all the pretty new default replacements rolling around the web.

Have to say I am already dreading the thought of the next eight kidlets to grace the house. I had Addie get pregnant again right away and have been stuffing her full of cheesecake in hopes the numbers will add up as fast as possible. Her dad was recently struck by lightning and managed to make it to the bathroom before he died, which apparently was nothing of interest to her as she was too busy making out with her baby daddy. Before that (yes I know, I'm doing it backwards -.-) Cassie had resurrected her dead mother after moving up the paranormal career ladder. She came back human but I was really hoping for a zombie. Meanwhile the house is haunted by her late husband and ghost kitty, Bonkers. Their dog Leroy is super smart, mastering all but one trick.

Playing hasn't come without bugs, however. While the body points thing seems to be over, the sims randomly wake up in the nude despite not having a hack for them to do so. One of my twins was also born with text on her shoulders (the other doesn't have it and they look to be the same skintone), and the pet bowls are always empty although they appear full. I have to clean them after almost every feeding, too.

So... yeah. I'll post up stuff eventually.

Well holy shit, I'm feeling ambitious. I guess lying in bed for like three days straight will do that to you. I thought a lot about the third generation and if things stick to plan (in the second) I think it could be pretty interesting. Of course at this point anything without Ben Long and Kennedy Cox sounds really good =P

H'okay, so, new to-do list. No real deadline to follow because I might not be feeling so ambitious in the days to come. Let's face the facts, I tend to get lazy.

Cutlers
- Make weird old business owner.
- Finish shooting Sloane's last half (not much left! ♥).
- Decorate set for Drake's last half.
- Shoot some random far-away photos of Sloane & adapt them for game.
- Don't forget Jesse's flashback photo! For the love of double chocolate cookies, DO. NOT. FORGET.

Website
- Scan the server files again and possibly hopefully drop the warning.
- Teen conversion of the S2S PJs as top only (adults are finished).
- Girl Next Door as top only for adults & teens.
- Fix BS with Gelydh's shorts mesh w/ maxis feet. Fucking morphs >.<
- More recolors of Gelydh's short dress with wedges mesh.

Sorry to spam friend or reading lists (if you have me on multiple accounts) but I just wanted to warn people that Under Your Skin is fucked yet again. Same deal, just redirected to a different place. Please avoid it like the plague until I can figure out how to get rid of it for good.

Avast blocked a trojan from my website when I went to it this morning. Fucking lovely.

Word to the wise: stay away >.

Looks like it's going to be a busy week. It should be considering how hopelessly lazy I was last week.

The list (to remind myself should I forget something):
- Under-Your-Skin WIP LJ community.
- Layout for said community.
- Teen conversions of am tops for Kayleigh.
     AG '08 Basics: Long sleeves, scrunched sleeves, tees, and tanks.
     Baseball tees.
- Cutler character profiles.
     Dave
     Jesse
     Van
     Sloane
     Drake
     Aimee
     Ben
     Kennedy
     Dina/Veronica
     Becca
- Finish rewrite of Sloane's 16.1.

And of course, all the RL stuff to deal with like getting back into a routine to lose more weight, take the dogs for walks, and spend time with the currently melancholy mother-in-law. There's plenty of other things to do but they can wait until next week or later. If I have too many things at once I'll stress out and won't finish anything. Because I'm a spaz like that.

So I finally got Castaway Stories and I like it for the most part, but it's driving me nuts that I can't use custom hair or makeup (for nose masks, freckles, etc.). I made sure to enable them and restarted the game, but the only things showing up are the default replacements. Maxis hair is teh gross >.>

Also, I thought I was going to be able to start working on the Cutler update but some heavy RL stuff has presented itself today. Well, more like yesterday but the shit really hit the fan tonight. Ever meet a man that is a complete fucking selfish bastard and all you'd like to do is shoot him in the fucking face? Seriously. Every time he throws a tantrum like a kid he makes me hate him a little more, but this just takes the cake. He doesn't deserve to be a father. In fact, he doesn't deserve anyone in his life. Fucking bastard.[/end rant] Sorry. I've just been dealing with this BS since last summer and it's steadily getting worse because of that asshole.

ANYHOW. Yay for The Sims loading in a timely fashion.

I mentioned on my craptacular twitter the other day that I was working on a new skintone for lovely Mr. Larson. I ended up just slapping Aikea's hair overlay onto an Ephemera skin, blending a peggy face onto it so he would still look the same. Although he still did look fairly close without it. Then I put his tattoos on moraque's overlay box so they wouldn't be passed down to the kidlet (omg, red hair PLEASE!). It'll take time getting used to, mainly because his pecks are no longer so massive and strange. It got seraphic_slayer's approval anyway xD

Hmm, I was just thinking of something to do for a new project. I thought about maxis block and sexy feet on gelydh's shorts mesh but I don't feel like it at the moment. Instead I'm thinking maybe her capris with cyber boots hacked apart and paired with gothplague's docs, stapled to a top with added morphs. I need some interesting stage wear for Sloane. The only problem is that you can't really keep the top untucked.

Thoughts? Maybe I could just change up the shoes and keep it as a bottom. I'm honestly not that big on cyber boots. Not that I don't already have some meshes to fix...

Previously in the Ducharme household some relationships were broken but mended with a little ass (let's be honest, it does help, does it not? xD) and the girls made some friends from school. Layla had a handsome redhead stalker but was quickly left behind when she spent more time looking at herself in the mirror than hanging out with him proved to be overdramatic for him. Bonkers grew up and went a little mad destroying furntiure and sucking up for cheezburgers, while the girls pleased their father getting scholarships.
