Working really hard
Jan. 5th, 2010 09:55 pmI don't think I'll have a new chapter out by my third legaversary (which is January 7th, I think), but that's because it's going to be so massive. I think I have nearly enough of the photos I need, but I'm going to have to split it in two, and there are one or two plotty scenes I need to shoot.
Also, I've been having a lot of fun playing and getting some couples together. I was shooting plotty scenes today, and I am dying to tell y'all what's coming, but of course I can't. I also have to keep two or three different balls in the air, and I don't think I can do with fewer photos without getting confusing. Powerpoint coughs up and dies on me at about 238 slides, so right now I need to outline and figure out where I want to split the chapter.
So because I can't tell you what's going on, and because this probably won't go in the actual chapter, I'd like to share some alien eyecandy with you:

More Goodytwoshoes
Dec. 9th, 2009 10:26 pmI've just added Elaine, Gawaine, Parsifal, Palomides, Lenore, Nausicaa, and Telemachus to Goodytwoshoes Sims. I think I have links to most of the CC, only as it turns out, finding Myos hairs is really a pain.
Anyway, if you want 'em, here they are!

Elaine is at University!
Dec. 5th, 2009 02:11 amI hoped ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ahrubyblue might have a chance to see these before her big adventure! A big day, I think! It would have been even easier if I hadn't been so fussy about CC. Don't you hate it when you have the perfect outfit and it turns out to only work for Adult, but not Young Adult, or vice versa?
( Elaine pictures! )
Now that they're all settled in, I'll be tossing a wedding for Ulysses and Doc Nerd, and I think Cecilia and Cecil will be heading off to Takemizu.
I have a lot of grading to do these days, along with preparing for the holidays, but I'm enjoying it and hope to have at least a short Uni post up soon, and a few reviews, including Doc Nerd's up tomorrow.

--that it is St. Cecilia's Day. I can take no credit for this: I had totally forgotten it myself, but was reminded when I attended church today (Feast of Christ the King.)
(St. Cecilia, Guido Reni)
Anyway, I thought you might enjoy all that. I carry around a lot of extra material in my skull as a hazard of being a nearly constant tourist to seventeenth-century England.
I haven't been able to play too much: I had a lot of grading to do. I was a good girl and got it done, so I'll be catching up on Legacy Comments tonight and perhaps playing a bit.

Well, looky thar!
Oct. 17th, 2009 11:11 pmMy most recent heiress teened up! Here's Elaine.
I'll leave her Aspiration and LTW as a surprise for now.
I like her in the more normal clothing, but if her brothers are in medieval clothes, I'm kind of stuck. On the other hand, I may wind up putting them in something--more Maxis, let's put it that way--and if I do, I have a bit more leeway. Anyway, she's in pinky hearty stuff, no matter what, and luckily she looks good in it.
Parsifal and Gawaine have to go to college right away. They are really, really close to aging to Adult--within three days, and that's really unusual for me. The only reason I waited was for Elaine to be a teenager. She has nearly all her scholarships, too, so probably she'll only spend the weekend at home and then go to college--long enough to have some fun, buy a cellphone, and get the Connections Perks from Daddy.
Would someone be willing to extract Gen Nine for me? I'm always a bit paranoid and I have a weird werewolf memory and that always makes me worried. The only thing is that whoever does it will either have to have a game from before AL OR be able to put the Sims up on the Exchange. Saving Sims to file, at least as a SimsPack, means Macs can't install them.
I've packaged the lots as files, and I removed all the CC except for the skins on Telemachus and Nausicaa. I did that because I'm not sure what happens if you remove the custom skin off an alien. Probably something dire and they'd probably have that skin with question marks or numbers all over.
They're an interesting generation.
I'm caught up on most legacies and getting there with the BRRL! Can't wait!

working on a new chapter
Sep. 19th, 2009 06:36 pmI have over two hundred pictures, so once I'm done sorting them out, I will be dividing them in half. It's not exactly going to be a Part 1 and Part 2, just 250 pictures is a lot.
What can you do, huh? I'm baking a pie. I figure that might help me, anyhow. And I've been playing. And . . .
well, here is Elaine.
A bit of picspam
Sep. 14th, 2009 12:24 amI've been playing a lot lately, actually, I'm just really, really sloooow. And of course I do not want to spoil anything, but I do have a few pictures of the Gen Nine kiddos that I thought you would enjoy.
( Picspam! )
I don't know how soon an update will happen. I've been crazy busy but I did want to get a bit done before school starts next week. I've also decided to play some of the reverse-Pleasantview families. What's the point of having them if you're not going to play them?--plus maybe some of the kids will hit it off with the Legacy kids or the Romans, and at this point, I might as well send some of them to college. The neighborhood is practically brand new, so the character bloat has hardly started yet.
I'm also almost done with a super-sekrit project.

Squeaky Clean Legacy, 16.1, Part 2
May. 18th, 2009 01:57 amAnd now for a big bumper weddingpalooza!
( Weddings galore! )
And at last, it is time for a wedding that everyone has been waiting for seemingly forever.
Stay tuned for the rest of the update!Squeaky Clean Legacy, 16.1, Part 1
May. 18th, 2009 12:13 amWho knows when the Exchange will go back up, right? And I'm sure you'd like to see wedding pictures as much as I'd like to show them.
The rebuild, the switch of neighborhoods, now the Exchange, the first chapter in LJ format--it's all part of a series of SNAFUs, and not even the worst of them. And that is why this chapter of Squeaky Clean is called:

Squeaky Clean Legacy, 16.1: Enormous Changes at the Last Minute
In due time, Penelope proposed to Dinadan again, and all was in line for a set of long-delayed weddings.
I've been wanting to say something about this for a while, and after Secret #30 on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
simsecret , I thought now would be a good time. For those of you who can't be bothered, it's mostly about how "misogynistic" and "puritanical" dicreasy 's Legacy is, but it ends "at least you can't claim to be a feminist. You either, PB."
Well, it's hard to respond to something that specific. The narcissist in me is righteously pissed off to be tossed into an afterthought like that. Moving along.
Yes, I do think of myself as a feminist. I'm not going to back away from the "f-word." All feminists don't agree about everything. For example: I think single-sex education really has a place. I went to a largely female college and an all-female college in Britain and I think it was good for me. Some people would think that's anti-feminist, because don't I want equal opportunity? Oh, well. I do strongly support LGBT civil rights, and I think that's pretty clear without getting all preachy.
As for the ethics of SC: ( if you really want to know. )
I don't like to get more specific than that. I think that obvious morals are really dull, and I want different readers to be able to find something they can like and relate to. Besides, I have to maintain SOME kind of mystery here. I might get more explicit when SC is done, but right now I'm too busy resuscitating my neighborhood and my Legacy to do that.

Cecil meta and *Paradise Lost*
Feb. 26th, 2009 08:42 pm So I'm working away, and among other things, I am preparing to teach Milton's Paradise Lost next week. And I really enjoyed Jamie's post about Aria and you-know-who. Which means you are going to get some Cecil meta.
This is probably only spoiler-y if you haven't read the latest chapter (2/14/09).
If you did read the latest chapter, some of you may have been surprised by Cecil's, um, "employees." But the suggestions have been there at least since last year. ( Which way I go is Hell. . . )Anyway, I thought you'd enjoy that, and I hope I didn't wind up revealing where this is going to go. I always think that, and then it turns out not to have been true.

Goodytwoshoes Sims
Feb. 22nd, 2009 03:50 pm Because all the cool kids are doing it, and because I am a shameless copycat, and because I am tired of re-uploading to the Exchange for the same reasons everybody is, I've got some Goodytwoshoes here.
I ought to say that I wouldn't have these guys at all without the hard work of other simmers, especiallyorikes13 and ndainye .
Cecil, Cecilia, Sophia, Lytton, De Beers, Sunny, and Mortimer also seem to be on the Exchange, but you never know, right?
( Sims, CC links, pictures, and other goodies. . . )
