Etc

New lot Paradise Park Duplexes pubishes Friday and I have submitted my American Foursquare 1930 as well. Unless I have to work tomorrow I will be posting the first chapter of my Paradise Island story. It is my first custom hood and I am playing six different familes and will be introducing the founding three families story tomorrow.

New Lot

I am working on a new lot. It is a three bedroom 1930 Montgomery Ward Amerian Four Square Design that is slightly modified with a back porch area . It is based off of the house that I live in and will be on the largest medium lot. It will be slightly Art Deco in feel as it was built in 1930 at the end of the Art Deco era.

Back up and running

My computer is back thank goodnesss. I have just finished re-installing everything and have begun an apartment lot. I just finished decorating it and tomorrow I will be packaging and lot testing it. Then after a clean install I will be submitting it here. I may do a beta run with it on Wella Creations first just to see how it goes. I am so glad my computer is up and running again. i missed my game so much.

Finally

Computer is up and running so by the end of the week me and my shiny new 500gb hard drive will be working on some lots again

I Can't Wait Until My Computer is Up and Running Again Take Two

Well  not only was my hard drive borked but, I am having some problems involving missing SATA Drivers that are preventing my computer from booting  up even enought to re-install XP. My sisters boyfriend who is a software engineer and work on PC's and Macs is going to take a look at it when he and my sister get back from Boston.  She would fix it but she is more familiar with Macs when it comes to software issues and has only ever dealt with the hardware problems common to PC's I have a laptop but the problem is that I cannot install any of the EP's /SP's that are not digital downloads from the EA Store as my disc drive is messed up on the laptop. This means that I will not be back into creating until at least the end of next week and that is if my sisters boyfrinend cannot fix it and it has to go to the local computer repair shop I may not be creating again until the end of the month or the beginning of April. I also did not grab my three most recent lots for submission off the computer before my hard drive crashed and the new one is installed. It stinks seriously because I had three community lots, a restaurant, a gym, and a Ice/Roller Skating Rink/Recreation Center ready to go for my Paradise Island series. Arghhh!!! This is so frustratin, luckily I hada back up of my downloads because I never deleted them off of my hard drive after I installed them in my downloads folder. So all of the really cool stuff I have found for Build,Buy and Bodyshop Modes is safe - Thank God because at least when it comes to my hairs from SAU, and Helga the sites are gone at least temporarily and anyone who is hosting their stuff until they are up and running again (if ever) have also closed down. Which means a lot of my favorite hairs would have been gone - for good. I am aggravated with this. I wanna play with M&G darn it!!!

Birthday Woot!!

Not only did I end up getting M&G Stuff for my B-Day but my sister went out and bought me a shiny new hard drive for my desktop with 500 GB Hard Drive - that is 4 times the hard drive that I had before. So much power and it is mine, my own my Precious. This will not only be helpful to me in my building endeovers (I can download even more CC mwahhhahaha!!!!) but, for my niece who is in the process of learning to re-color and mesh clothing. Plenty of room for CEP, GIMP, Homecrafter, SimPe and whatever Meshing Tool she decides to learn how to use. If she cannot get her own acct due to lack of Parental Permission (she is not 16 yet so Mum still needs to give permits for such things) or not being old enough I have told her that she can submit as a joint project with me like S2S do and we will just make sure tha the notes say to credit her. I am psyched- it should be fun.  We may also post stuff she is beta-ing over at my LJ acct under the user name arelenriel, or on Wella Creations.

Tomorrow after I do some work and the HD is installed on to more lots and wallpapers- arghh lost my texture files and my Ikea Set --- rawr!

New Hard Drive

Well it turns out that the virus that I picked up off of Big Fish Games borked my hard drive and I need a new one. I just deleted my DL folder backup, luckily I listed all my favorite stuff from various sites, inc what, where and who - so could just go into my laptop history since most was DL'd from laptop onto USB since I did not have internets for the longest while on the desktop (my luck my Bigfish DL MGR picked up a Trojan the day I got the internets turned on) and re-downloaded all my ,clothes hair, etc luckily have kept up my donations at Peggy, Rose, and Raon. I will not be up and running again for a couple of days- than will be restarting my Paradise Island  Prosperity Challenge- and creating a new lot using Anoeskas Invisible Walls and Doors, Dots Invisible Columns and Moonlight Muses Invisible Floor Tiles - everyone will just need to guess what I am doing - now if only I could find a decent cloud terrain.

Duhh!1

I just realized that I failed to save either my homecrafter files, or my packaged lot files so I am going to have to download my own community lots when I go to recreate Paradise Park after my computer is fixed. This is just stupid.

I can't Wait Until my Computer is up and running again

I have some ideas percolating in my head for a new lot. After the computer crashed and burned I did rescue my downloads folder meaning I have all of the buid stuff I downloaded here and at Mod the Sims. I want to do something with Dots Invisible Columns - and it could be fun - so much more space. Maybe if I could find invisible stairs as well.

Arghh

I am in the process of moving my downloads file to my zip drive. Unfortunately my computer got hit by a virus last week and it affected some of my drivers for my computer- as well as Windows XP. I am having to re-install everything. Unfortunately at this point it does not look like either the Goth Family Story or my Paradise Island custom community will be continued as I don't have enough disks at this time to completely back up the game files. I will start again with the Goths but, they won't necessarily come back the same so I might not continue the story. This really frustrates me but, at least if I am lucky my zip drive will hold all of my downloads and i won't have to entirely find everything again- which is good because I don't think I will be able to find my hairs from Helga, and SAU again as they are not on any other sites. I will also not lose my defaults which were all a pain in the behind to find. I am having to fully restore everything from the disks - Will post again if it does not effect my games but, I doubt it.
