Meet the Cast (Happy Unbirthday Readers)

So. Saturday was my birthday, and although I didn't have the time then (or most of this past week!) I wanted to do something for the blog. Although I have to admit my friends and I still haven't outgrown gathering round for sugary snacks and party games, I think we'd have some difficulty playing pass the parcel over the internet, and as for downloadable gifts, my CC skills are still lacking in a lot of areas.

So, what else to do but introduce my readers to the Sims who will feature in my new hood?

Tick Tock Tick... again

OK. Seven years (nearly), five generations and many, many rebuilding projects do not make it easy to abandon a hood permanently. Neither does the fact that even though I've hardly played it for most of that time, I've developed a habit of yelling "Sena Yuleng!" when I'm frustrated.

New Year, New Site

Happy 2014 everyone!

After a busy few months I'm ready to jump back into the TS2 community. Kulo Seeri is once again on the back burners since I can't seem to revive my interest in it right now (rebuilding... meh) but I'm still playing in my other hood and working on a new project or two, including attempting to wrangle an uberhood. (Been working on that one for YEARS. Too many places where EAxis design clashes with my playstyle and personal Simmer's Code.)

However... I've noticed that most of the action in the Sims 2 community seems to be on tumblr now, so all future posts about pretty much any Simmy thing I might be doing will be found here. Not that I think anybody particularly notices anyway. :P

Mad Science

"Mad Science" is VT-speak for "got distracted fooling around with TS3 again". And boy, do I have a story to tell there.

Sick Of This Hiatus Now

And that's not the only thing I'm sick of. Once again I say a big fuzzy sorry to my readers.

Something on the Side

Well, I'm about to embark on Operation Rebuild Kulo Seeri Again. While I go trawl through the Dragon's Hoard and its now 55.2 GB of downloaded stuff for anything that might look good in the new KS, why don't you take a look at a few candid snapshots from rotation 31 in my side hood?

Excuses, Excuses...

OK, so I've left my readers waiting a couple of months. Again. I humbly apologise.

I can only blame my side hood, which is now up to a record thirtieth rotation and a population of 48 Sims, thirty more than its original founder population and only two fewer than the current KS line-up. That and my old friend Seasonal Affective Disorder has flown home for the winter so it's hard to motivate myself to do the set-up stuff for KS (still between rebuilds).

When it is back up and running and I'm blogging again, the story will pick up around six months after I left off, in early spring of the Nuidya year 98. There will be a few new arrivals, including newborn twins for one family and an estranged relative of another (I won't say who yet) and things will look a little different. I imagine the six-month hiatus will have been taken up with new construction. :)

By the way: I am trying. If I don't have a story update by the end of next month I will have been a very naughty VT and I will thwack myself repeatedly with a banana plush toy, seriously.
