Garden of Shadows is down, but not out.

I thought I'd do my part to spread the word to anyone who might be wondering about Garden of Shadows, and why it's not working. It seems TSR made a legal complaint to GoS's web host about them redistributing their supposedly "copyrighted content." There are more details here on nymphynymms journal. (ETA: And also on Jenfold's dreamwidth journal.)

Thank you to simgaroop for bringing this to my attention. I'm a big fan of Garden of Shadows, even though I mostly lurk. They continue to create quality content for Sims 2, even though most other cc sites gave up the ghost a long time ago. I was thoroughly enjoying the Earth Day monthly theme, and I'm saddened that this messes with their next monthly theme right around that exciting time when the new theme is decided and announced (which theme won? Does anyone know? I was just going to go check). Way to ruin everyone's fun, TSR. Bunch of dicks.

Ooh, something new and fun.

sim secret bingo

I need to whip up a card now.

Haha, that'd be awesome.

Also, 'your sims are pretty' and 'your sims are fugly'. And 'I'm in love with Pescado'.

And let's not forget the biweekly 'really depressing information about my real life pasted on a vaguely related sim picture' secret. (I feel like a horrible person now. :P)

And Pooklet secrets. That deserves a category of its own. :P (But her gif reactions make it so worth it.)

Confused Pescado boners are my favourite type of secret, by far.

Secrets from people who don't get that he's a persona ("SO MEAN!!") are pretty entertaining too.

And yes, Pooklet secrets do need their own category.

I just whipped up a quick and dirty 3X3 card (eyeball my journal for it). You'll have to do a cover all (meaning cover all squares) to WIN.

I kept it kind of vague with my card. But on a very specific (more true to an actual BINGO card) I'd also have to include a "photoskinning" square.

Oh, I already have the "real" secret square covered (lovingly called "Are you there god?")

Checked it out, I'll definitely try it out on tomorrow/tonight's secrets. :D

I'm going to see if I can't get 25 different things so I can make a "real" card.

I'm mad I forgot a "Big Dumb Pudding" space for sims3 secrets.
