Is journaling even still a thing? Are y'all still out there? Anyhow, I have been having very bad brain for quite some time which has almost entirely disconnected me from the fannish community at large and left so much distance from so many people I care about...I miss you guys. I really have no point to this post except to make it, I guess. And say hi. HI! It really, really wasn't you. It was me. It still is me, but maybe I want to try being a little more present when I can at least.

HI!

HI! I was just backreading LJ and seeing you were playing Sims so I must fistbump you in solidarity, though Sims 3 is really not my flavor (I am all about 2 and 4, with only an occasional foray into 3 if I feel like building epic houses). But messing with the little people's lives for entertainment in whatever version is the gift of the Sims franchise to the world. <3 <3 <3

I don't have 4 is it good can I make evil sims in it?

I love it DEEPLY... but I guess it's super controversial in the sims community, so maybe it would be fun for you? IDK?

Yes, you can make Evil sims and they have a hilarious thing where they will occasionally break out into a full on MUAHAHAHAHAHA laugh, and also tend to get really happy when other sims are bummed. Also, the love and like relationship bars are separated so hate sex and enemies *in bed* are options.

The new Create a Sim is balls out awesome (agreed upon even by the haters). Making your Sims look exactly like you want them to look has never been easier, like, down to being able to adjust their foot size and posture even. And the base clothing options are pretty decent (it also has native mod support so if you like making clothes and hairs and stuff in blender it's super easy to throw them in your game).

Personally I find the gameplay both hilarious and deeply entertaining, despite some tuning flaws in the reactions system. They also keep patching it every month with new free content along side bug fixes. I got it on release in September and haven't stopped playing since (and now with the camping game pack they released in October and then first expansion pack, Get To Work, just released last week...John Sheppard is totally retiring from being an Astronaut to run a bakery, and Rodney is going into the new active science career so he can invent a freeze ray).

So, yeah. I love it a loooot. But there are people, especially people who find 3 to be their favorite of the series, don't? Origin has a 24 hour great game thingie where you can return it for a full refund within 24 hours if you want to try it without committment.

Is it difficult or liek super easy?

It's like all Sims games, there are actual 'game' stuff you can do if you like achieving goals and whatnot (none of it very difficult at all). But you can also just give your sims an inheretance from dearly departed Aunt Motherlode so they are richer than sin, ignore the goals entirely and just wander around doing awful (or nice) things to and for your sims and making up stories and skilling them up however you want (or just using cheats to raise their skills).

Like, the last session I booted up I sent John and Rodney camping and had them spend all their time eating s'mores and singing campfire songs and woohooing in the tent (I've been rough on them lately and they don't get much alone time since Ronon and Teyla moved in so I wanted to send them on a romantic vacation alone, and we hadn't used the add on camping game pack yet).

SOUNDS EPIC!

*hug*

*smoosh*

i am living in civilization: beyond earth right now. i will make friends with all the local alien species and build my outposts and make trade routes!

<3 <3

hi hi ilu hi

hi hi hi ILUBACKSOMUCH. (I miss you so much, omg)

I've missed you, and was really glad to see you volunteer for the VVC auction (and go for way more money than I could afford, dammit!).

{{{you}}}

*smoooooooosh* missed you too, omg! volunteering was my first little 'still here' move :)

And what a first move! \o/

Btw, have you seen Big Hero 6? It always makes me think of you, for some reason.

*HUG*

Not yet, it is on my list of movies to see, but part of the brain thing is having a lot of difficulty focusing and being able to take in new media. I'm doing a lot more of rewatching things I don't have to pay attention to and documentaries and Sims than watching movies and tv shows that are new to me :(

Oh, that kind of brain thing. Bleargh. I've experienced it, myself, and can only say it's AWFUL. There's a reason I've seen certain media gazillions of times while never-watched things collect virtual (and sometimes actual) dust.

*more hugs*

Hellooooo!!! I peeked in on your Sims recaps above; they are still hilarious. :)

Glad to hear you're still around; why are brains so difficult sometimes?

I would very much like the option to turn my brain in for a new one. :(

Hee, and yes, my sim boys are still making me laugh on a regular basis. Like, the s'mores thing with camping got so out of hand. I'd be sitting there all 'GUYS, I packed you a cooler of real food! And you know you can roast hot dogs on the fire too and not just marshmallows?!? Or go fishing?' Except they'd be all 'Fuck youuuu, S'MORES are AWESOME and we want ALL OF THEM' and eat them at every opportunity when I turned my back so they weren't hungry anymore. I am pretty sure they didn't eat anything else for three days? Because I finally gave up and was like FINE, BE SIX YEARS OLD! :D

...Rodney is going to get into soooo much trouble now that the scientist career exists. I have had a peek at all the new things on the science lot and the stuff he will be able to make now and...I kind of fear for Simlandia. Because lets be honest, once he has access to a satellite that will allow him to make everyone in the neighborhood have to pee all at once, is there really a chance he won't use it?

*HUGS*

Oh, sim boys! It's only too fitting that they would gorge themselves on s'mores, because let's face it, they are actually six year olds in adult bodies. And I fear for their neighborhood once Rodney gets his science on. :)

Hi! Hi! {{hugs}} Hi!

Miss you. But I sympathize.

HI! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! *HUGGLETYHUGHUGS* I miss you too.

OH HAI! I'm glad to see you around! *hugs*

HI! *HUGGLES* is good to see you too, dude. <3

I am still here, and I'm glad to see you here! Hi!

*smushysnuggles* HIHIHI <3

HI. I HAVE MISSED YOU. (no pressure, though! I just like you. ♥)

I haven't been posting much either, but I have been WANTING to post more lately, so... WHO KNOWS. Of course I've also been wanting to vid, and that's worked out so well for me that I had to buy two vidders in the VVC auction. *facepalm*

*SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHLES* I like you too <3. And though I want ALL THE VIDS from you ALWAYS, being owned by you to make one is a pretty good runner up :D :D :D

ADORABLE LESBIANS FTW. \o/

I'm still here! I missed you. (HUG)

*SMOOOOSH* I MISS YOU TOO

I'm here. I don't post much but I read almost every day. I do post a bit on twitter, because that is easier to do from my phone.

*HUUUUUGS* if twitter did not scare me I might use it. :)
