Sorry for all the Sims 3 spam, but this is funny...

Aaaaannd... back to Sims 2.

I played Sims 3 again for a while this evening and by the end of it was feeling a little, well, sad. Isn't that an odd reaction? I have such a soft heart (or maybe it's just PMS). There are a lot of opinions floating around in my head, and maybe I will post an actual review of the game at some point (I typed up a little first impression already). For now, I'll just say this:

Playing Sims 3 makes me miss Sims 2.

With that in mind, I'm firing up the old game to work on some images for the next update or two. (I do wish Sims 2 could load as quickly as Sims 3 - the speed of the new game makes me realize how bogged down with EP/SPs and cc my game really is.) I'm also thinking of doing an outtakes post, but the sheer amount of images involved keeps me from just doing it. I'm also not feeling very funny at all right now (see above: PMS). Maybe later. For now, I will show you a couple of things I've created for the upcoming chapters. There's one sim and one neighbourhood edit/decoration.

Also, this...

 

Is nothing sacred?

I guess the orginal was just too clean and simple. It needed to be more complicated and MOAR XTREME.

Ugh. I hate bad design.
