crossover_chickI vowed to both play and watch Sims, and that I did! Though admittedly I didn't actually play the Van Dorts today in my game. Instead, I made a start at designing a water park lot over in Oasis Springs -- now that I've got Backyard Stuff with the slip-n-slides and Seasons with the summer heat waves, I really wanted to do something like that. Hasn't quite come together yet, though -- I got all the objects I want/need on the lot (I have it officially classed as a park, which means I need places for Sims to sit, a chess table, and some playground equipment), but I don't think I have it all in the right configuration. I gotta work around just how big the water slides are, first off all. . .and I want an actual pool on the lot too. Maybe if I moved the bathrooms from the back of the lot to the front, and made that and the "main" building a bit smaller. . . Eh, I'll go back and fiddle with it later. Just thought it would be a fun thing for my Sims to do now that they have true heat to beat.
As for watching Sims, I've made some progress in my Sim Supply catching up! Watched three episodes of "Seasons Rags To Riches, where:
-->James successfully brought Patchy the scarecrow to life to help out with the gardening
-->Many yard sales were had to sell flower arrangements and honey
-->The family moved off the Windenburg island to a nice suburban house in Willow Creek -- where all their laundry stuff has promptly started breaking
-->Raggy aged up into a child and joined the Scouts, and Luna got pregnant with her and Sebastian's third baby
-->James imported the other members of the Bigwallet family from their previous save (he had to switch at one point because it was getting too big, I think) only to kill them so Sebastian could mourn their graves on Bigwallet Appreciation day (it sort of makes sense in context)
-->Deli gave everybody a stealth makeover in-between sets
-->And basically James is running himself ragged trying to keep up with everybody and make enough money to pay the bills (it's looking like they're going to get their power shut off in a couple of episodes currently)
And one episode of "Super Sim," which was basically all about James trying to bring Nathalie back to life (after killing her the last episode) with the Book of Life -- he managed it in the end, but now Max and Nat are no longer married. (Barely lasted a day!) So now Max is probably just gonna move onto a new love interest XD I've still got a ton more of the "Seasons Rags to Riches" LP to watch, but it's nice to have made some progress! And since Helloween is off on a trip for the next few days, I'll have a better opportunity to catch up than usual. (Though he promised one RE4 set tomorrow -- I'll find a way to work it in.)
Main other accomplishment of the day was writing a new bit for "The Technicolor Phase" -- a BJ-POV piece about Emily bringing Victor down to the Land of the Dead. My original idea, set before Victor woke up, just wasn't jiving, so I switched it to BJ and Emily talking right after "Remains of the Day" and Victor bolting from the Ball & Socket. Works a lot better, and allows me to bring up the fact that Bonejangles gave Emily the color pink a little more naturally (since I wanted to do that in the short). Needs editing, of course, but I've still got a fair bit of story left before I get to that point (thanks all you kid-centered chapters!), so I've got time to refine. I also posted another Scene from Secundus: Equals, featuring Victor confessing to Doc how, before the Queen, he never felt like his friend's intellectual equal. After the Queen, of course. . . Short and sweet for those of you who like the verse.
Okay -- currently doing a bit of the RP thing on ValiceMultiverse, as well as getting some queuing done on VictorLuvsAlice -- if I have the time and the Sims posts, might as well make a start, right? Also need to answer a few things in my inbox, so best get on that. Night all!
