A Mini-Milestone

Today, A Winter's Snowfall got 100 hits. ^^ Although it's a minuscule amount, it's more hits than my other story could have gotten in a year, and it's only been about five days. I honestly didn't have high hopes for AWS, but people have enjoyed it, and nothing negative has been said about it, not even about the melodrama. There's not a doubt in my mind that I won't continue this story to the best of my ability now. ^^ I hope in coming months we'll be able to double, triple, and expand that number into great amounts.

Introducing Gigi (the Demon Cat)

Oh glitches. How you humor me.

The Emotional Abuse of a Melodramatic Teenager

So, after much delay, after many issues, Chapter One is out! ^.^
Albeit it's really melodramatic, I needed to set the stage for future events, and I really didn't want to have to dwindle on the fact that her parents liked to party hard instead of take care of their kid.

Anywhoozle, I'll be getting the pictures for Chapter Two tonight. I may not get around to writing it, but at least I'll be ready in the morning. I do believe I'll make an entrance for a furry friend as well. I'm dying to try out Pets since my Sims 2 experience with it was horrible.

Now, I'm gonna go put the story up on the storyboard and then I'll get back to Simming. Hopefully I won't get too sleepy to write a good chapter.

And for some reason, I absolutely love this picture. I think it's the situation and just how well her appearance and expression plays it out. ^^

This Chair . . .

Now, you may be wondering why this chair, of all chairs, is important. It is important because it marked that I was able to successfully get out of buy mode. After investigating, I found that it could have been a number of things causing my issue. My Mods folder framework was outdated, mods could have been conflicting, something could have been outdated, or maybe I just had way too much CC. Either way, my problem is solved. ^^ Unless EA releases a Seasons EP, I think I'll keep away from mods.

CC Overhaul and a Happy Surprise

I thought it would be rather interesting to post up my stats on my new amount of CC.

Accessories:
Old: 7 items
New: 3 items

Build:
Old: 3 items
New: 3 items

Clothing:
Old: 295 items
New: 107 items

Make-up:
Old: 12
New: 11

Skintones:
Old: 3
New: 3

Hair:
Old: 291
New: 111

Mods:
Old: 15
New: 18

It is funny that whenever I see New Sea's hair "Only You" that my mind fills in the blanks as "Only You can prevent forest fires"? I would like to think so.

So in the end, I still love to have lots of CC. xD Oh well. It's a lot less than what I did have.

As for the surprise . . .

From the forums:
"Sometimes, my grandma is just so precious. ^^ I was talking about getting Pets just a moment ago, and it turns out she already bought it for me. So, now I have it in my hands. The only downside is that I'll be getting one less gift for Christmas. Oh well. <3"


Happiness abound! 

Sigh . . .

Well, I decided to do something a bit smarter. First, I did a "Save As . . ." and then entered the file. So the first thing I did was enter buy mode and then exit. Everything worked fine. Then I entered buy mode and placed Pose Player down. Endless loading. So I was pretty fed up by this point, but then my logic came back to me. I went into the game again and placed down a random item. Endless loading. Finally, I just deleted Pose Player, only to find that even without it, I'm having endless loading.

At this point, I'm stumped. I ran Dashboard and scanned all of my files. Nothing's wrong. Finally, I just decide to take my Mods folder out and run the game without CC. Everything worked fine. |: I think I'm just gonna start my mods folder from scratch. I suppose Chapter One will be out sometime tomorrow. >.<

On a side note, here's Mary without any CC.

Dat quality . . .

Some Bugs and a Boatload of CC

Well, we're already encountering some bugs.
I'm getting stuck in buy mode, and I'm pretty sure I know why, but then again I'm not sure. Before I started my legacy, I completely cleared out my game and forgot to get my launcher downloads folder. My computer then proceeded to bork up and I couldn't retrieve the old file. Now, I always see the silver lining in these situations--start anew and get new CC.

Let's just say I went a little crazy. Now, for the past two hours, I've been cleaning up my packages. Let me say this now: I despise Peggy and her lack of proper file naming. Seriously, I just gave up trying to clean up that section of my packages. Luckily, I did manage to clear out a lot of hair and clothing packages (and I'm positive that there will be files that I'm going to miss when I figure out I deleted them), and now I'm hoping that my game will run smoothly again.

If that is not the case, then I think I'll have to remove Pose Player. I installed it last night since I knew it was going to be useful in the future, and that's where this all started. I'm not saying it is Pose Player's fault, but that's just where it started. I'm going to go try and run the game again. If it messes up the first time, so be it. If it messes up the second time, I'll do as "Save As . . .", and if it messes up the third time, goodbye Pose Player. T_T

Postin' on the forums, postin' on the forums

I'm quite proud of myself. Not only have I accomplished updating every blog in one day, but I also posted a thread on the forums, put Mary up (I would have liked to hold off on that a little while, but I needed an avatar), and I put the story on the storyboard. ^^ I'm quite proud of my myself. I didn't think I would make it this far. Aaaand not only did I put everything up, I also decided to get out of my little hole and be a part of the community. Since I'm very anti-social, I'm double-proud of myself.

I doubt all of this sounds very important, but to me it is. ^^ I was never the community type (fear of rejection, insults, drama, etc. etc.), but I'm glad I decided to get out there. I was very happy when I found that people enjoyed my story. Very happy. Perhaps that was my boost of courage. I don't know. It was nice though. ^^ I think maybe this time I won't give up on the story, that is, if my game allows for me to continue.

So, that was my happy little review of the previous night. Chapter One should be out sometime tonight or early tomorrow morning. It would be out sooner, but today is Thanksgiving and I have to go and dine with my family that lives farther away. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone~!

Making Glorious Progress

So, I've just finished the Introduction and Mary's Information (which I suggest reading). ^^ I think things are coming along nicely. I suppose I'll go make a quick banner and then open a thread on the forum. Is it weird that I'm kind of nervous? Ah well, hopefully the introduction will prove to be entertaining. I thought it was pretty boring myself, but then again, it was just an introduction.

Well, I suppose I should start planning a storyline. (: Wish me luck~

Postin' on mah blog, postin' on mah blog.

Hiya random stranger on the interwebs! It seems you have stumbled across this . . . eh . . . "humble" blog. An empty blog, yes, but a blog nonetheless.

What am I going to do with this blog you ask? Well . . . I don't know, but it will be put to good use. Possibly something involving Sims 3. Like a story. A legacy. Something like that. *hint, hint*

So, I've tried the whole Blogger (Blogspot?) /Legacy thing before . . . didn't work out too well. That was primarily my glitchy game's fault, but I also didn't like how the story was turning out. (Apparently, I'm a terrible writer when it comes to legacies.) But! I'm here to try again! Will I finish the story? Possibly. Will my game mess up and cause me to lose everything? More than likely. Will I be too chicken to put my story [links] on the forum? Yes! Will I do it anyway? Of course.

Questions aside, here's to hoping I make an enjoyable story and other enjoyable stuff. Now, I must frolic off to the world of Sims. This legacy isn't going to write itself.
