| Old Crap 1: Valentine's Day |
[Jun. 13th, 2009|02:53 am] |
About time I got around to putting up this stuff. Long overdue, but better than nothing.
'tis a simple photoshoot of my characters Luna and Makari (whose combined power forms... Lunari!), my all-time favorite couple for pure, sweet, true love. :3 (I have other favorite pairings, but none of them are so simple and pure and just loving as these two.) No actual writing, just pretty pictures accompanied by song lyrics.
Warnings: It's a couple doing Valentine's Day things. What more do I need to say? Homosexuality, suggestiveness, excessive fluff. Oh, and colors that clash. D:
( So you gave me your wings ) |

| Dear Sims painting creators... |
[Feb. 23rd, 2009|08:08 pm] |
....who get images from deviantArt.
Please don't think "I got the images from deviantArt" counts as credit. If you're going to say that, then list the usernames of the people you took images from. If you can't do that, well then, why bother at all? Half-attempting to credit like that just makes you look lazy (and, of course, using people's work without decent credit is just plain rude anyway). Please, people. Just try a little harder--I mean, dA by default includes the artist's username in the filename of the image. You don't even need to do any work to get it. Well, unless it was an undownloadable image and you had to print-screen or something to save it, but still, it's not so hard to save things by creator name and then go back to check the filename when you post your creations. I appreciate the work of the people who make the Sims objects, of course, but I wish those artists would in turn appreciate the work of the artists whose images they use.
This has been a public service announcement from the Society for People Tired of Seeing dA Listed as a Source. Thank you; please resume your normal activities.
PS, soon as I stop being a lazy bum myself and organize some pictures, I'll post my long-overdue photoshoots for Valentine's Day and Alice's/Jason's birthdays. |

| An update. |
[Jan. 26th, 2009|12:40 am] |
Alright, so... time has passed, things have changed, blahblahblah. I haven't really played Sims in quite a while, and when I do, it's been other neighborhoods--premade families, the neighborhood I made with a friend for our book, the lot I made for taking Christmas pictures, etc.
( Ramble ahead. ) |

| Garniers once again! Part 3. |
[Dec. 7th, 2008|05:34 pm] |
Finally, I put my procrastination to good use and update the Garniers! This'll be a long one, since I'm trying to get caught up to the end of Aubrey's teen years. Which were extended.
Warnings: 80+ images, Aubrey being difficult and flirting with everyone, creepy vaguely-incestuous moments, dirty jokes, cursing.

| Garniers, Part 2 |
[Nov. 2nd, 2008|06:52 pm] |
God, I have so much catching up to do on this family. x.x Where I am now, Aubrey's already gone to college (yes, I finally installed University. :D)
Now then, let's back up to... the fantastic escapades of the day a boy with a very interesting name showed up at their home. And look, I got around to making one of those nice shiny opening pictures~
Warnings: Inappropriate use of the safe icon, awkward positioning, general suggestive comments, mild swearing, and NEKKID SIMS =O (with standard Maxis censor). About 40 pictures.
( And who might this be? ) |

| To-Do for IU Part 1 |
[Oct. 29th, 2008|02:02 am] |
This is mostly for myself, but I suppose if anyone is interested it would let you see how close I'm coming to making the next part of my first and only actual story (Imperfect Unity, the continuation of Julie's story).
( Random crap. )
Anyway, as you can see, there's still quite a bit of work to do before the next part comes along. Meanwhile I'll probably post the crack cuteness and insanity that is the Foster family, and/or more of the Garniers (I have a whole other round of pictures already). |

| Comments and rambles. |
[Oct. 27th, 2008|12:50 am] |
Hooray, the first part of my first actual story using The Sims is posted~!
These here are all my comments that I was starting to write in that post, until they started taking up more space than the post itself and getting increasingly off-topic so I decided to put them here instead. So now, I write under the assumption that you've already read the previous post.
( Rant rant rant. ) |

| The Garniers, Part 1 |
[Oct. 19th, 2008|08:28 pm] |
Here goes, the first post of my actually playing the Garniers.
At first I only took pictures if Aubrey was being particularly adorable or something was easy to laugh at, and even then I often forgot, so I don't have much record of their first days. And I didn't bother to adjust my visual/camera settings and learn how to use different camera control tools and modes for a little while, so the pictures would've sucked anyway (indeed, the first bunch do).
And so, their first adventures! About 25 pictures, many of them rather large.
( Perfectly normal family. ) |

| Introducing the Garniers |
[Oct. 13th, 2008|08:59 pm] |
Let us say hello to my first Sims family, the Garniers. =D Yaaayyy.
Aubrey, Jonathan, and Rebecca.
Note that I based this family on a group of characters I've had for a little while, though really Aubrey was the only character I paid particular attention to, and his parents were mostly just there as Parent of Aubrey (although they did have at least somewhat developed personalities, particularly his mom). Nonetheless, I never really bothered to name them, and did so on the spot when I created the family. So I basically just gave them random names, and I'm not exactly thrilled with the ones I picked, so even throughout this I'll probably refer to them as "Aubrey's mom" and "Aubrey's dad" moreso than Rebecca and Jonathan.
Anyway, here is the small handful of pictures I've taken so far, as well as stats.
( Meet the family. )
Hm, I guess that's all for now. By the way, I've played for about 8 simdays so far, and I did take a handful of pictures so eventually I'll put them up. |

'ello, persons who may or may not read this. I'm Kura, and this Livejournal shall be for documentation of my fantastic adventures with The Sims 2. Funfun, yes?
I'm extremely new to this, by the way. More than anything else, I was inspired by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sea_serpent's awesome sims to go get my own. And I've hardly played still, because of a bunch of school junk and other distractions... hrm. And I haven't really had any incredibly exciting things happen yet, but I'm already in love with my darling Aubrey sim. <3 Nonetheless, I want to start chronicling their going-ons... So I think I'll start with this.
A forewarning, I am just now looking up how to not suck at screenshots, so all my first bunch of pictures will be either bizarre shapes and sizes and including pieces of menus and whatnot because I just used Print Screen and cropped to what I wanted, or horribly poor quality because I used the in-game camera with bad settings.
A second warning, all the families I've created so far have been based on my preexisting characters, and my characters are pretty damn weird. Expect great amounts of gay and persons of indeterminate gender. Hm... and my sense of humor's probably a bit odd too, when it comes to my comments... I expect there will be plenty of things that I choose to share becase they amused me that no one else will care about.
Eh, and I suppose that's all I have to say as a sort of welcome to myself.
I'm not going to start posting stuff just yet, but the two families I've created so far are the Garniers who live in Pleasantview and the Torys (not to be confused with American Revolution Tories?) who live in a generally empty created neighborhood. I might not post the Torys at all though... Well, maybe just a picture of Alice because he's just so lovely~ (Yep, a boy named Alice. See what I mean about gender issues?)
By the way, that's Aubrey Garnier in my currently-only userpic. Being adorable, as is his specialty.
