Di's Victorian Vexes

Following on from the llama mascot yesterday, I decided to sort out the cow mascot today.

Soooo, all the townies are in and (nearly) all the npcs are created and made over.  I'm still missing some, but I can wait and make them over as the game generates them (in both hoods).


( A list and some pictures this way )

I’m not going to be sharing lots of pictures from the last rotation, or even doing them in the new look I was working on, for a couple of simple reasons. One, I played this rotation very quickly, and took hardly any pictures because I want to get on with the rebuild and two, thanks to that rebuild things look a bit odd in Regalton at the moment. As part of the rebuild, I’ve completed Project Refit and also went and removed all of Nouk’s original colours from my hair folder, meaning that with a few hairs for my blokes, all the hairs I have in game are now in the colours I use from Pooklet’s palette. I’ve also made various improvements on pieces of cc (such as rescaling Nani’s neighbourhood deco from MTS) since I last played the neighbourhood. This means that I’ve pulled quite a bit of my cc lately and, well things look a little strange.

Ah, and so we come to the final part of the picspam for this rotation.  Like I say, I'm working on changing the way i do picspams slightly, so this is also the last old style picspam I'm doing.  This is all picspam from the Legacy Society.  There are some good reasons for why there are so many pictures of the Legacy Society and I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR IT.

So, I've finished shooting and playing for chapter 24.1.  I've got far too many pictures as always, but I've not felt like starting to put them in order yet/  I did think that I'd share a few random pictures with you all though, to whet your appetite as it were, for when I do get my act together.  :D

( A few pictures. )

Wow, this playing malarky means I actually have pictures to share with you all. I've been meaning to share some of these for the past 2 weeks, so there are lots of them I'm afraid, and I apologise to those of you with slower connections.

( LOTS of piccies (100+) )

i still have a few days to play in the rotation before I'm able to get to the main house, but for now, this is it. Lots of pictures for you, and I'm sorry the captions were so uninspired. I really must post more, smaller picspams rather than leave it to one big post. Anyway, that's what I've been doing in the game. I hope you enjoyed it.

I seem to suddenly have loads I want to achieve this week with regards to the sims, so if I'm a bit quiet online it's probably because I'm working on those projects.  Because I feel like talking tonight though I thought I'd share what I'm up to with you all.

First of all I've been playing.  I've got to shoot Vicky, Rosemary and Louisa's graduation party as part of the next chapter, and then once I've sped through the other three uni lots (where I can cheat my little heart out because they are all distant cousins) I'm back in the main house to shoot the rest of the chapter and start with chapter 20 too.

Anyway playing means I have picspam for you.

As well as playing I'm working on a couple of CC projects.  The first is a new alien skintone.  I mentioned in my reply to Prof in my vampire skintone post that I fancied having a go at making a green skintone with a hint of silver to it.  Once I got the idea into my head it wouldn't go, so I sat down and ended up with a skintone that looked nice in Bodyshop on the mannequins there.  Bodyshop isn't the best testing ground, so I finished the adult skins and imported the skin into the game.  I transferred it to my dummy game and went looking in CAS for a couple of aliens.  Here's the results of my test:

( More fun with skintones )

The other thing I'm doing at the moment is another Herter Brothers wallpaper and  ceiling set.  I finished the lower border this evening, but thought I'd share how this came together for any of you who are interested.

So that's what I've been up to.  If I go a bit quiet it's because I've got caught up in what I'm doing.

How is everyone else today?

Hey hey, I enjoyed looking for out-takes and sharing my thoughts last chapter so I thought I'd do it again. 

First of all, I know that I have said this in most of my comments, but I really, really love playing and writing the three boys.  Not a day goes by when they don't do something to amuse me.  Writing them is so easy: I was worried about writing the last chapter since I wasn't entirely happy with the outline, but once I started, the words just flowed, in fact I could have kept writing once I'd finished it.

I was also setting up three story-lines in the chapter, including the BC, and although I have to say that they're not all going to be fun and games, i hope that everyone will enjoy reading them.


I'm planning on uploading the boys after university, but since that won't be for a month or so if anyone desperately wants them before then, let me know and I'll put them up for you.

Hmm, I suppose I could share some university pictures with you too...
