Fleeing the Scene


Imagine a newspaper in this child's hot little fist and you pretty much have the picture of what was going down here. Autumn Taylor, criminal mastermind stealing the newspaper off of Ryan McDermott's porch, while he was at home no less, a daring effort I must say. Girl's got some cojones.


The pool on Ryan's lot runs right up against the edge of the property line. I couldn't begin to tell you why or how the creator did that but I have been trying to demolish it so it could be fixed. Strange things happen when he swims in it. Bubbles ooze out of his...backside shall we say? I blame that stupid wall. So I downloaded (before my self-imposed moratorium) the Lot Adjuster.

After struggling to take from the left and add to the right I ended up adding 10 tiles to the right side of his lot and fixed the pool, adding a playground for Riley to play in. Not my strong suit but it works for him.

Next thing I know, here comes Autumn right up on the porch, nabs the paper, and runs off giggling...in mid air! WTH??? Have you ever seen that before? And just what is a toddler doing out and about without a parent? Not saying I blame the LotAdjuster, my game has been acting strangely for quite some time, people who were long deleted still show up for kicks but seriously this was strange.

I have managed to write half of the next update for Rising Above. I hope to have it posted this weekend but no promises. I also have the opening of the next Chameleon update written but I think that has been done since November so it doesn't count. Unless I finish it and then it counts. I just need to finish both and take shots. We'll see how it goes.

I was looking at some drafts that have been sitting in Blogger for quite awhile. Came across my NYE draft from last year that I never posted. Aside from the commentary, I say "Ditto" to last year's resolutions. Maybe I will post them some other time; this post is much too long already.

Ciao!

  1. Thank you for fixing that lot! Taking shots with that strange pool wall as a backdrop was really really hard. Was the lot adjuster difficult to use? I downloaded it but haven't used it yet.

    I have never seen a toddler running around alone, much less in the air. Maybe she's got superpowers...

  2. Now that you bring up super powers, my mind is scheming. As for the lot adjuster, it isn't that hard but I did a backup of everything first just in case. And you have to rip down anything that is vertical along the outside of the lot in order for it to work. But for simple expansion in the case of Ryan's lot, it worked. And that reminds me I need to pack it up for you. I just have to move Ryan and Riley out first.

  3. Oh the lot adjuster. I haven't used it yet but downloaded as soon as I saw it. I really need to expand Isabella's lot...badly. Ryan's lot looks good, a lot more space.

    I had a baby, talking, walking in mid air, and using the computer before but I think that is because I deleted him incorrectly in simPE. Never seen a kid do that on their own. Spooky.

    Speaking of moving families out. Isn't there a hack or a cheat that does that without loosing all the furniture? I know I've seen if before but cannot find it anymore.

  4. Muzegoddess it was the most bizarre thing I ever saw. And thanks about Ryan's lot; I am not the greatest landscaper out there but I try.

    I used the newest version of the Lot Adjuster, 3.1 I believe. As for moving out without losing stuff I use the Stay things shrub but I can't remember where it came from, either Simlogical or maybe MATY...

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.
