What a PITA! Every time I had spare time I loaded my Jordan and John save to do the birthday makeovers (8 of them) that I didn't have time to do yesterday. The first time I had spent considerable time and was on my 7th makeover when my game crashed. I normally just do a few makeovers, then do a save as and then continue but I was on a roll so I kept going. I thought it might have been a memory issue so tried again. On my second attempt I did four makeovers, did a save as and started on the next four. My game crashed on the seventh sim once again. On my next attempt, when I was down to only four makeovers, I did two then did a save as and got started on the last two. My game crashed on the same sim and I finally realized it wasn't a memory issue after all but an outfit problem. Given how long it takes to load my Jordan and John save I lost a lot of simming time just loading but at least I worked out what was wrong. When I went in again I removed the boy's athletic outfit using MC and had no problem dressing him and finally got him and the last girl done. Phew!
@lanlyn Thank you! I admire your storyline and visual set ups, they are very thought through @Jazzypoo Haha how I laughed at your response, thank you! I know! The first time I saw that moodlet I was horrified, it does look like spoons, or as if the eyes are drawn out in some elaborate torture method, but it is actually a positive effect from the LTR 'Eyecandy' (WA). I always give my main sim that, a cheap way of ensuring the enlightenment of the environment
I'm the same, my strong suit has never been grammar, I liked my teacher's way and the patterns in word history instead, so I agree that latin gives a more mysterious vibe than any living language. Perhaps due to that continuous repetition of exotification, but maybe also explained by its syntax, in theory the word order can be anything as long as the words are conjugated correctly, that certainly represents well the idea that magic is inherent in the words uttered
Here is an old example of magic words, a 4-times palindrom (that I googled for you )
SATOR
AREPO
TENET
OPERA
ROTAS
I realised I'd never played with bands in the game, so I thought it would be a great idea to have Sam, Seb and Becky form a band. What did I name it, you ask?
Well... Stardew Valley fans will know what I'm talking about
It's a reference to one of Sam's dialogues in the actual Stardew Valley game. If you become friends with him, he'll tell you that he's working on a new song for his band to perform, and he asks you what the song should be about. You get 3 choices, and one of them is "a city in the sea".
Now, on to feedback!
@Silverofdreams30 That's a very nice house Erin's got there
Sweet pics of Ty and Audra! Glad they got some alone time while the kids were at school :>
Ugh... homework time! I don't think any of the teens will miss having to do homework when they age up to YA
Glad you managed to fix the problem with Salty! Those grey-blue scales suit him very well indeed :>
How nice of Riley to take in Salty and Esme! Bit of a pity though, Riley loves to cook, but being mermaids, Salty and Esme would probably rather eat fish and kelp.
I see Salty's quite the vain-pot I hope Esme likes her new wallpaper!
@CravenLestat Beautiful patterns as always! I love the third one especially, with how the red stripes pop out against the dark blue :> Also, how do you manage to make Sims look good with that LN hair...
Whoa, you totally nailed Joker! Like, I'm not even kidding, you really got him!
And so is being Mayor of Sunset Valley! And creating a baby army to take over the town, right?
@emorrill Hope you had fun at the corn maze! Congratulations on getting the newest Sam chapter out, will leave feedback on the story thread once I'm done here :>
@Nikkei_Simmer Love that last screenshot of River and Haruo! River smiling over the cauldron while her husband is passed out next to it, sleeping like a baby...
I guess Kansai took over guard duty while Yoshi was out hunting that night, huh?
I'm with you on the imaginary friends... the dolls creep me out! Mike makes an adorable little boy though Wonder how Allison's parents will react when they find out they've suddenly got a son...
@lanlyn I don't often edit screenshots like that, but at times it sure is handy to have side-by-side pics, especially for comparison. I just upload my screenshots to imgur first, then download them onto my phone and throw them into my collage-making app
Ugh, sorry to hear about that incident with the knife. Hope your finger gets better soon!
@ZhakiraP Well, Benton has proven his strength and bravery by surviving that abduction! Definitely worthy of becoming heir!
@Charlottesmom Jillian freaks me out I hope L and Connor don't teach her to break the fourth wall... one stare from those eyes and I'd pi*ss my pants!
I just cringed a little looking at Female One, you're not alone...
Rena's got one big forehead! I must admit though, I love that cute button nose :>
Not even grown up yet, and Rinn already gets all the chicks
Child Rena's got such cute chubby cheeks
@Springfairy556 Heh, it better be a good surprise, William! Only the best for your beloved queen!
Those are such lovely screenshots with the ship out on the water I love that shot with the pinks of the sunset reflecting off the water!
I see it's autumn in Praaven too!
Queen Claire looks absolutely stunning in that golden light William must think so too!
A hurricane? What the plum are you guys doing still standing out on the deck? I hope the king and queen make it home safe!
Present for you guys and some Halloween Fun DL Link was added on post after this one
For those newer posters on here a brief description of what this is:
A makeover sim,I make a really cute sim but hide her under awful makeup and hideous clothes you download her and make her beautiful again.The fun part is nobody has the same vision and everybody posts their makeovers here on this thread
Example
@Nikkei_Simmer Will probably want her as a redhead with a short skirt and cute top
@lanlyn Might turn her into a gorgeous black haired fairy sim
@Mikezumi Might turn her into a brown haired conservative business woman
@Springfairy556 Might turn her into a gorgeous Medieval Princess who has a white horse
The rules
Zero Tweaking Genetically
You can use any hairstyle and change hair color to whatever you desire
You can use any makeup you want
You can dress her in any clothing you want
Now the story for this years makeover sim.
It was a bright Halloween morning and my sim was working in the salon when he heard the bell on the door jingle as a customer was coming in.I turned to see a beautiful woman with flowing hair with the cutest face.But then....
I remembered her from last Halloween
I was trick or treating in Sunset Valley and hers was the last house I visited.After knocking she opened the door and clearly remembered her cause she was pretty but even more so cause she gave out the only Reese's cup I got all night.After skipping home happily with a sack full of candy I ran to the table dumping out my surgary loot.Grabbed the Reeses and tore open the wrapper plopping its delicious peanut buttery goodness in my mouth.......
YUCK!!!!!!!!!! bleh I spit it out cause it tasted like a mouldy bedroom slipper
I checked the wrapper and it expired in 2007
Now before me stood the very same woman in my salon.So I asked "Can I help you"
She said "My name's Holly,There is a huge Halloween party tonight and I need a smexy costume and a spooky makeover"
Bwahahahaha
Have a seat I will take care of you
So after an hour of using my trusty permanent sharpies and chopping off all her hair then fetching some dirty cleaning rags and a hideous witch hat I turned her around in the chair towards the mirror...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What have you done
That's what you get for giving out expired candy you witch!!! now you get to look like one.Get.... get out my salon,beat it!!!
Meet Holly Halloween
Will be back with DL link am doing finishing touches.
@TinySpaceFox , My vet told me that is why we didn’t have to withhold food when we brought in Stewie, Jasper and Lilly to get them fixed (my Flemish Giant bunnies)...She mentioned it too when I brought in
Snickers, one of my pet rats.
Last picture of Jasper...he had stopped eating the day before (basically a death sentence to a rabbit, he always hated hay no matter what type we tried!) he died about 6 months ago Stewie died almost 2 years ago). Still have my spoiled brat Lilly.
My rats when they were wee babes...pardon my “baby voice”..
@Mikezumi Glad you were able to figure out it was a bad outfit. Sorry it took a long time and several crashes and reloads. Just repeat 'I love my game, I love my game, I love my game' Well, we do love our game, warts and all.
@TinySpaceFox That is an interesting bit of veterinary trivia. I guess that his why horses get so sick sometimes. Didn't know about the others. I know cats sure can though! lol
@CravenLestat Dag, will you ever learn not to mess with women.
@HillyBeth They are cute and lovely to see such excitement.
And @emorrill -- Loved the Sam update.
It'll be hard for Sam/Eileen to come clean to her husband, but it will certainly be worth it; I can only imagine what schemes Hal would unleash.
@bekkasan What did I do?? My sim lawyer is already clearing me of all charges through Illegal bribery methods
@TinySpaceFox Making sims look good is what I do,it is a dirty job but somebody has to do it.The fate of the world falling into the hands of the dreaded Dr.Disgusting and his minions keeping the towns bland and boring.But why not give Holly Halloween a go and give her the LN hair and a smexy outfit if you want.
And where is my photoshoot slacking as usual Mrs.Fox,next you will have some perfect excuse like you were busy with school.Pfft...
@Charlottesmom I am dying over here,never in a thousand years would I put that voice to you.It sounded like a Disney Princess reading a book to a classroom after inhaling 4 helium balloons
@TinySpaceFox He has! I am having just a little bit too much fun with the aliens to get his baby making starting
@cwaddell Thank you, I am happy with how they turned out, and the game is fun. I have finally gotten away from skilling and skilling and the feeling like all the sims are the same.
@meerkattime Thank you, yes, it was quite the fright.
@Silverofdreams30 thank you, great update. Salty looks like a fun sim!
@bekkasan Thank you. If you have posted more of the story, where the curse comes into play, I will see it in a bit when I catch up.
