This Would Have Been Many Thanks

Danica's most recent photo shoot

I had something else I was going to post here but instead I am going to complain. At the rate I am going I may never be able to take another screen cap or even use my game. So let's call this a post of anniversaries. Milestones. The good, the bad, the ugly.

  • It has been nearly two years since my game has been stable
  • It has been 4 years since the first post for Dark December

I had intended to offer up a gift for those of you who have been there since the beginning and for all the new readers but if I can't stabilize my game I won't be able to follow through.

I really hate wasting time and loading and crashing and loading and crashing is a definite time suck.

Welcome to my black hole.

  1. These are beautiful shots of Danica. It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since Dark December and while I fell into this world at Sessions it feels like I've known these characters my whole life. I'm sorry to hear the your game is still haveing trouble. It is frustrating to not know the reason behind it, especially when I know you've probably tried just about everything to make it work. Crossing my fingers that you find a solution soon :)

  2. Nicely done shots, and sorry for the black hole issues. How frustrating. A time waster indeed. I have had a few crashes lately as well. Makes one less inclined to load the thing. Hope it all works out~

  3. I guess you have tried to reinstall, no? Did you completely re-do your downloads folder? Are you using lots that have been downloaded? (Cause I've noticed that their the bane of any Sims game.)

  4. Gayl, these are beautiful shots. I wish I knew what was going on with the crashes. I have them all the time, too, but I've been able to isolate and identify and get rid of the problem CC. We have to figure this out.

  5. Sorry about all the game woes :(

    You've provided four years of brilliant work, regardless of your game's stability. Kudos to you for finding the patience to carry on.

  6. Muzegoddess, thanks about the shots. They were taken a few months back when I was testing CC in a separate user account on my PC. And thank you most of all for being a constant support of our work. It is much appreciated.

    Drew, I need to manage my time better. Maybe one day I will just throw my hands in the air and quit. It is very frustrating to waste time like this. Time is precious.

    Christina, I have re-installed more times than I can count. I was slowly testing my CC in a different user account. Thought it was stable so I moved it to the main NB. It didn't like that. The crashes happen if it is a lot or CC I download or duplicate files that want to clash with each other. And I am careful with lots. I put all the CC in a separate folder, comb through it for duplicates or the 150 garbage cans and mailboxes they come with but it still isn't enough.

    Beth, thanks. Those are the shots I did a few months back that I sent you of the MayPink pose box. I wish I could figure out the crashes too. It sucks that you make lots that I cannot use.

    Van, thank you. I really appreciate the thoughts. I'll figure something out eventually.

Thanks for leaving me your thoughts ~ they always mean a lot.

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.
