I just wanted to share a couple of photos and do some sims gabbing about CC and the Kitchen and Bath Stuff Pack.





Have you seen these recolours of the Teen Style Stuff gym wear converted for adults by cloudlessnights on MTS2? I think they're really cute. Lots of nice colours and patterns, and it makes up for the lack of gym clothes in the game. I'm a pretty big fan of conversions like that in general, and migamoo also did some really great ones, including the clothing that Ripp wears right now in this story. Imagine that - a plain black button-up shirt! It seems like something you would take for granted, but I don't, considering how specialized a lot of CC is (and the Maxis stuff too, for that matter). Basics, people, we need basics.

Speaking of basics, the new Kitchen and Bath Stuff seems awesome to me. And it has clothes! Nice clothes. Argyle sweaters with jeans (Buck and Frances just heard that and looked over), and a nice sweater and leggings outfit. Yes, actually classic and nice, not trendy (I couldn't believe it either)! They've posted the item pics at the official site, if you haven't taken a look at them yet. It seems like a good SP to me. Lots of things that have already been done pretty well by Holy Simoly, but some new things too.

I only recently started using the hula mod, and I'm really liking it. Especially the still poses from the lot loading screens. I've always wondered how other people posed sims for photo shoots like that and now I know. I'm so behind sometimes. Anyway, I thought I'd share the results of my tinkering with the poses and moveobjects/snapobjectstogrid.




A little "family" portrait. Aren't they cute? Why limit myself to Sim Couple A & B, when I can pose three together!

You can see Ophelia's garden in the background too. She already has her gold talent badge, and Ripp and Johnny are both getting there too, just from occasionally helping her (the garden got so big that she really needs some help). Here they are in action:




Sure, guys. Why bother getting dressed first? Why not?


ETA: I also just noticed this new "Cottage Garden" loveseat on Holy Simoly. How perfect for Nervous' garden one day! :D The universe just seems to be aligning for me right now.





Also, is anyone interested in some reader participation related to the next chapter? No promises that it will end up in the story, but I'm opening the floor to anything that you would like to see come up in conversation at the dinner party with Johnny, Ophelia, Ripp, Stella and Jayne (within reason and character, of course). I have plenty of my own, but is there anything that you would like to see brought up? Just curious. Maybe I'm overlooking something good...

I'm back! I have nothing else to say except that I'm going back to catch up on what I've missed.

Oh wow! Hey! Welcome back. I was wondering whatever happened to you. Good to see that you're still around. :D I hope you enjoy catching up with everything.

My internet just got hooked back up today. And, since I'm paying for it, it's actually permanent! I'm on my bf's computer, so it'll be a bit before I get some updates posted. I'm so out of the loop. Strangetown is the first thing I'm catching up on (I read the asylum at my mom's).

Oh, cool. It must be nice to be able to finally get back to your sims. Thanks for coming to catch up with the story. The asylum was fun, wasn't it? Your selfsim was hilarious! Some family sim you turned out to be. *snort*

If I didn't see the flour sack myself, I would not have believed she made me a Family sim. It was fantastic, I laughed my butt off and enticed my brother to read it. He thought it was hilarious.
I finished catching up and I love it! I was disappointed when I reached the most recent update D: You're writing it so well. I laugh out loud for a lot of it because I still see so much of my own boyfriend coming out of Ripp's mouth. Keep up the good work!

Thank you. If Ripp still reminds you of your boyfriend, then I must be doing something right.
