Cold Front

Slowly weeding my way through CC. I haven't deleted much but I did find an entire folder totaling about 940ish files that crash my game. Isolated the folder for later. It makes sense since the files came with a lot I downloaded and that was when everything started going sideways. I don't need the files really. I can redecorate the lot to suit the man that will live there. Still have around 44 folders of CC although it is tens of thousands of files still. Hoping to get through them all tonight so I can be productive. My process goes like this - add a folder, load the game, load the lot, click some objects, browse the catalog (objects and clothes), send a character to a community lot, send them home, test the hacks. We'll see...

Lady in the crappy game camera shot is from the test family that I use in a clean NB. I could not resist actually "playing" a little as I scoped the content. I sent my dude on vacation. He fancies himself a player. He knocked up some Townie (yes I forgot about silent woohoo) and they had a kid. She is preggers again. And having a Bud...

Did you know they smell the flowers in M&G? I didn't. Did you know you can slide down banisters? I didn't. Did you know you can use solar panels and have "green" Sims? I didn't. Playing can be enlightening.

It is raining off and on. Cold. And there is a breeze coming from somewhere in my house that I cannot find. Feels like a door is open. I need to shove towels under the door jam so the cold air stays outside - well I would if I didn't have boys coming in and out all the time. My hands are like ice and my shoulders hurt. Wah! Whine, whine.

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.

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
