eh eh eh

i love the sims 3. it's a very nostalgic sort of fondness, though. it's been a very on-and-off thing in my life since, from Christmas 2009 when i first bought it, it's been extremely temperamental. it may also be because of my computer- financially my family have never really been able to splash out and i got my current PC on the same day i got the Sims. Not to say we've never been able to afford new computers, there are multiple in my house and I've seen many come and go- but rather, the computer I have is a good model. It's a proper gaming PC, it has a good graphics card, lots of memory ect. There have been many times where I've been in the position to get a new one, I've just never needed one, there has always been a more beneficial thing to buy. However, as you could probably imagine, six years is a lot for a computer, even a solid one, and she's getting on a bit. Just, really general slowness, and I admit that the one time I accidentally ended up in the deepest darkest center of the scary internet trying to find a torrent of the Willam Belli album even though I was warned it was an impossible feat (I've since purchased the album legally, sorry WB) did a number on the old girl that she never really recovered from, despite my security software's best efforts. And so it's made Simming near impossible. Thankfully, somehow, my game is running smoothly, but for some reason, when I opened it up on Sunday, it had suddenly deleted all but two sims. These Sims were male and female. I've since decided to plop them down in a premade house that some over townie family used to live in, and I guess I'll see what happens. I'll show you them- hold on.

This is our young heroine female resident. Her name is Mato Kuroi, which if I recall is the main character from Black Rock Shooter? I think I made her with the intention of getting the whole outfit, but I never did find it online, and so when I found her she was just some anime looking bint with stupid hair, a black bikini top and biologically-impossible blue eyes, so I fixed her up and made her look human. She's a bit generic, I think, but hopefully she'll mix genes eventually and make some interesting children. She has thick eyebrows because I think they're pretty and the Kardashians are doing it. I don't recall her traits, but her lifetime goal is Master of the Arts, so she's working on her painting and guitar skills and not much else at all.

This is Genesis Minnow, who is more fortunate in the looks department (though he seems very plastic- I like to call him Ken in my head because Genesis is a bit of a daft name and I don't know what I was thinking) I don't really remember making him at all, but I do think he had a family eventually in my past game and so I am a tiny bit sad for him, but not really because he's not real. His lifetime goal is to be a rockstar- I've got him a job as a 'fan', but he's not started yet.

They're so far a bit of a boring bunch. They woohooed a couple of times and they're romantic interests, but other than that it's mostly just skilling. Thankfully(?), excitement came in the form of Robin Steale. She's not the slyest, umbrella and all. Actually, the robber in FuryRed's Wolf Family Legacy had the same one, right? Is this common with robbers now?

I sent Gen down to deal with her, but by the time he dragged his ass away from Mato (in his tiny underwear, no less), she was on her way up, and he apparently didn't feel like following, so he just stared instead.

I could comment on the face he pulled in calling the cops, but instead I'm going to restate the plastic thing. I wonder if it's my graphics or EA's default skins? I'm still working on getting my CC back, and skins are something I completely forgot existed. Either way, I'm kinda digging the Ken Doll aesthetic.

Finally a fairy policeman did show up, but he then proceeded to walk in the opposite direction from my house as the Burglar stuffed my treadmill in a small sack. 

He then walked right past Robin Steale (I just got it! Like Rob and Steal!) on the stares on his way to apologise to Gen for arriving so late to answer the call. So it looks like the police in the Sims are about as useful as those in the real world then.

 Fortunately, Mato avoided the neg moodlets by sleeping throughout the whole ordeal.

Nothing else really happened, and so this is where I stopped taking pictures. I'll leave you with this picture of Gen, because his body really is weird but I just can't seem to fix it. He's like the lovechild of some k-pop idol and E.T. I think I'll go look for some skins now, wish me luck.

you know, weirdly i've began simming all the more often again. i'm still very wary of it, and as such i end up saving pretty much every ten minutes, but it seems like everything has magically corrected itself and all is up and running again. seems suspect to me, but we'll see how it goes.

hello again + a slight announcement

hiya I deleted the contents of this post!
