crossover_chickA quick driver update download, and I was good to go with Sims 2! Hurrah!
It looks pretty cool thus far. I liked the intro video, and the new "nonsense loaders" -- the phrases that go across the bottom of the screen. "Chlorinating Car Pool" :P And the 3-D stuff looks interesting -- I have to fiddle with my graphics options so the stuff looks its best. I did the tutorials, and I'm looking forward to fiddling with a few houses later. Also creating Sims.
-D: I suppose I'm the first on that list.-
Well, actually, I tested out "Create A Sim" last night, after going to the premade hoods and seeing their stories and their families. (I feel right at home in StrangeTown -- especially since there's a lot "88 Road to Nowhere!") My very first sim was supposed to be of me (I even called her by my preferred alter-ego name, J. C. Jones), but then I got distracted.
-J: Distracted? You mean by just playing around with the options?-
Sort of. I was looking at the beginning hair/face styles -- and one of them had this gorgeous hunk of red hair. The instant I saw her in that, I knew who she had to be.
Gypsy.
She looked pretty good for my first ever Sim2. I found some clothes I thought she looked good in, fiddled around with a star sign, all that. She didn't make it to a final cut, though -- last night's sims were test sims.
-VD: Too bad.-
I'll probably remake her today, along with Josephine and Mysteria.
I also took a shot at a Doc Sim last night. Couldn't find quite what I was looking for (although one of the elder shirts fit Doc PERFECTLY). I made a semi-elder Doc with a long hairstyle, and a guy I thought might be like Doc as a teen, with a scattered blond hairstyle. Noses are my big problem.
-M: Oh boy, I wonder what I'll look like.-
*holds up BTTF storybook* I've got comparison pics here so I can make better versions of you guys, and start on Jennifer and Clara. *ponders* Actually, I think I'll switch this for my "offical trilogy" book -- that has actual pics of Clara, along with better quality pics in general.
-D: Good idea. I'm surprised you're making Clara.-
You're not getting off easy, I'm making myself and the Doc's Girls too (although I really don't know much about how Gina looks like. Hmm). I'll probably create a custom neighborhood for you guys.
-VD2: I suppose the other Sims are on a Vacation?-
You could say that. I won't forget them -- they have their perks as well. Not the least being they never age (except for kids with Age of Instant).

Welcome to Our World....

I've been mucking around with BTTF Sims too, except since I'm a sucker for life stories, I've made George and Lorraine, then deaged them to tots- which is kind of creepy. But it's going OK, although I really want to do the Family Tree thing, but it's bit hard figuring it all out.
This game is seriously fun! :O)
