Culters 2.17: To Do
Apr. 30th, 2011 09:49 pmThis post is mostly for myself to keep track of what needs to be done, seeing as I always lose the papers I write on. News flash? Yui is a slob.

Sims3 Cutler Spam
Mar. 11th, 2011 01:11 pmFive days left and I've yet to open the game to take pics for anything. Not to mention play my post-apocalyptic hood to get my founders two sprogs growing, so I can finally start playing the NLC4 and post by the 1st. What crap timing for everything, my goodness.
It's kind of sad that I'm more excited for a video game release than putting out shineh sim stuff for people to use. I used to enjoy it so much more, but maybe it's just that I've gotten damn lazy.
( Sims3 ramblings here? )

A Whole Lotta Shit
Apr. 6th, 2010 11:08 pmSo 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![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

A Little Bit of Everything
Aug. 26th, 2009 10:24 amThe mother-in-law has been living with us since Saturday, and while I was originally mourning the loss of my independence I am pleasantly surprised that it's not been so bad. She leaves in the morning with her twelve year old son to do things together -which they both really need, and I end up with some time to myself. But even when she doesn't leave I'm still not feeling too crowded. If anything it's kind of been better.
I've been getting my arse outside and walking the dogs two to three times a day. They're sleeping better, I'm sleeping better, and you know... it helps with the diet thing =P When my husband went away to the car show it sort of bombed, haha.
Anyway, there's a chance I could make quite a bit of money doing graphics if I wasn't such an oddball. I fixed up my husband's friend's vbulletin last month; a banner, tons of icons, buttons, gradients, etc. While they were away to the car thing in Ohio this friend told my husband a guy he knew paid someone $750 to make a banner... and mine was better. OHSNAP! xD He said if I charged for my work I could easily make over a thousand with all the different things. Seems rather excessive to me for just a vbulletin skin, but okay. I don't know if I'd be able to handle it though. I've never dealt well with a lot of pressure, and his vbulletin just happened to come out awesome... probably because he had an idea of what he wanted, so I went with it. I'm doing his other vbulletin now and it's not going as well. The icons are kicking my ass, I have no idea what to do, lol. I suppose I'll figure it out at some point.
In other news, I got some writing in! Reworked Sloane's part 15. It's now shorter but 16 is an extension of it; I thought it should stand alone. I'm not quite sure how to start it but I've got the ideas rolling around in my head. Too bad it'll completely mess up 17, but eh... it was kind of weak anyway. At least 18 won't be affected. I can't wait to see a heavily pregnant Sloane waddling around, tehe. It'll also be nice to talk about the baby's father by name. I hate not being able to say it!
