aeliaIt's hot, my brain is melting, what can I say?
...
Nothing with any coherence anyway! I wasn't joking when I said my brain had melted into a pile of grey goo.
But yes. I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Festivus/Whatever it is you celebrate. If nothing else, you hopefully got some time off work or uni. Mine was pretty good, but nothing so spectacular that I feel the need to tell you all about it ;) There was some good food, much chocolate, awesome gifts, moar chocolate, and no family wank, which, let's face it is probably the best Christmas gift one could have.
The only downside was that it was bloody fucking hot!
However, there was much room in the freezer so the chocolate was saved. I am a hardcore chocoholic with absolutely NO intentions of EVER reforming. It and coffee are pleasures you will have to take from my cold dead fingers.
Actually, there was another downside I failed to mention. There is a large hairy thing on my head that rather resembles some kind of dead animal then it does hair. I have been attempting to grow my hair from a very short and spikey cut into a 1920's flapper bob. This sounds like a good idea in theory until you try it. Especially when one's grandmother has a camera.
On a Sims related note, I can has game again! I've been unable to play, mostly because of my own stupidity in taking out all my downloads in an attempt to make things smaller. This I suceeded in doing, if you consider 8GB to 6GB an improvement. What the hell. I don't mind a half hour load time, gives me time to do other things. Many a good book has been read while my game has loaded. I have so much shit I want to do - I AM going to complete a legacy this time, and I have an interesting little story in my head involving two aliens that may or may not resemble my self-sim. Expect to be periodically inflicted with their presence :D
I also kinda want to develop the characters I had for my GoS hypocrisy entry ages ago. I got really kinda attached to the Eris sim - she's in most of my previews. I plan on actually writing it out and planning it this time though XD
I'm stuck in a creation rut at the moment - I'm tinkering around with a bit of a lolita dress at the moment, but it's kinda not doing it for me. I'm having issues with lace - if anyone could point me to some good PS brushes or images, I would be eternally grateful!
I'm finding doing these hair retextures is kinda relaxing though, only I've gone blank on meshes to do. If there's any that anyone would y'know, give their souls to see maxis-ished up in a shitload of insane colours, I'm willing to do business ;)
(I do however intend to go back and add a Maxis Matching shade of red and blonde to my previous hair sets. Black is black is black in hair, so long as it isn't too shiney (IMHO anyway) and I'm pretty sure the browns don't need tweaking?)

Date: 2008-12-28 12:39 am (UTC)I agree with you on the family wank. Thank christ there was only a minimal amount of that this year (which was pretty unexpected), otherwise I would have screamed.
And it POURED with rain for us. It wasn't even vaguely hot, and I have a swimming pool that really needed some use :(
Cameras should be taken away from family members. They always take pictures when you're most awkward and horrible.
AND 8GB! I only have 2GB and I feel like my computer is going to explode (although it's probably because I don't have enough RAM). I'd love to see the story too.
I like your blacks and browns, and quite a few of the reds are really close to maxisy too from memory. The blondes are hard to do though, as far as I can tell - people seem to do them too platinum and things.
And yes... I think I'll stop babbling now :P.

Please? (Although I won't mind if you don't, and I don't know if it's already been retextured...)

Date: 2008-12-30 12:46 am (UTC)Aww and selzi's blends look so sexy. It's just as well they wouldn't fit with any of my other content, although I think I downloaded them just in case I felt like jumping off the MaxisMatch ship.
Being a basilisk would be so awesome...Oh man. I really wish I could be a basilisk now.

Date: 2008-12-31 12:33 am (UTC)Haha, I don't have any one style in my game - I frequently have sims with Enayla skins, Phobia eyes and Maxis Match hair running about, but I kinda like it that way.

Date: 2008-12-29 12:19 pm (UTC)I've always wanted to have a kind of basilisk vibe about me - other then petrifing with a look - the ability to kill cameras with my mere presence has a very large appeal! Especially WHEN I'M EATING!
XD, I'm rapidly working my way BACK to 8GB (Screw you selzi and your skin blends!) and I am convinced that before my computer explodes, it's gonna beat me to death for the appalling abuse I subject it to :D I'm gonna hold you to that wanting to see mah story too :D
Reds + blondes I shall rectify in my next post :D
And christ, I babble like nobodies business, babble away!
