73,000 and counting...
Yowzers! Zoinks! Jinkies! I've hit 73,000 downloads! Wow, that's a big deal for me. It's the silly, little things in life ya know. Like Fridays. And rainbows. And kittens. And cookies. Thank you all for your comments and creative criticism, and, of course, your downloading.
Alas, I have not gotten back into building yet. I do have several plans picked out and they're on my desk staring at me, quietly calling my name. I know I'm not obligated to upload stuff for everyone to download, but I do want more lots for my own games, and I enjoy building and creating. It's just work has gotten bad again and I find myself more exhausted and going to bed early instead of putting in an evening of fun. It's just not possible to fit all the fun I NEED into a weekend so something's gotta give here and there. Right now my sim life is giving. My Dragon Age life has taken over and I'm using that as anger management for work. I have goals too. Dragon Age 2 is due out in March so I have maybe 7 characters I'd like to get through the game before that comes out. I want to import my playthroughs into DA2. I've already ended it several times on the PS3 version. I got that first. But now I'm working on the PC version. And after playing that, I don't intend to get DA2 for PS3. I'll stick with the PC version. The graphics and control and most things are so much better. However, I did notice that in the PS3 version your companions are much chattier and funnier, but the graphics suck. It's odd how a game that supposedly came out for all platforms, except Mac of course, at the same time are so different. Theoretically it's the same game, yet not. Maybe just anal, overly perceptive individuals like myself notice this. If I could merge my two versions it would be a much better game all around. Kind of like Sims 2 and Sims 3. If I could merge those I'd be in heaven.
Uh, I got off on a rail of randomness there. Sorry about that. Anyway, back to building. The next few lots I hope to do will be single story ones. Oh heck, I can throw a basement or two in there since it's finally worth messing with. It only took them HOW long to get the concept right? I don't want to talk about it. Basements have caused me plenty of frustration and lag in the past so I was never an advocate for the under-life. Not an issue now. Wonders will never cease.
Remember, it's the little, albeit silly, things in life that make it worth waking up every day. Think small.
