Worst break ever...

So, despite being completely unfocused on writing lately, I've found some renewed interest in my sims. I had some time to play the game today (as all of my silly posts attest) and now I'm very excited to move forward with the story, especially where Frances is concerned.








Sorry to spoil so much here, but I'm just so excited for him.

This is, indeed, a romantic moment for Frances (and double spoiler on the new hairdo, but you surely saw that coming). The cafeteria worker is a peeping tom. *snort* How many times will I crack up at that framing hands animation? Surely, a billion times.



I'm still a little out of it where writing is concerned, but I'm thinking that I might be able to get an update moving sometime near the end of the week. I know I must seem a bit crazy lately, but thanks for putting up with me. I really appreciate all of you being there for me, even if it's just the impersonal internet. I feel lucky to have this right now.

YAY! More strangetown soon???

I know how it is to need a break from something, but I don't relish my Strangetown withdrawal!

Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve for Frances and the Trio as well

Oh God, those idle art hands come up at the silliest times, don't they? Glad to see you're getting back to your story. Haha, worst break ever indeed! I can't wait to see what's in store for Frances. :D

Oh man. :P I actually toiled over whether to read this post or not because I am dying for more Frances, yet I didn't want to get spoiled. I think you're making me want to be doubly good to him. He's going to get so much action in my legacy now, lol. Well, probably not really, because I do love to see him slightly tortured. But the dorm cook? That's a different sort of torture. It cracks me up to see the cook doing art-hands. And out the window at a strolling, unaware Frances? Plus the old guy has a rather mean look in his eyes.

Aw Francis! Good for him.

At first I thought you meant the cafeteria guy was his romantic interest! :D

Yay! Strangetown! I hope you get out of this Sims funk, I know how it can be. :)

Good Luck writing and playing!

I wonder who Frances is sexing up though...

Yay for Frances! It's about time the poor boy got some true lovin'.
*chuckle* I have a silly idea as to who the other could be, but I'm probably wrong.

Haha, that previous statement in regards to Johnny and Ripp being in angel and devil outfits is presenting a mental image that's just begging to be drawn. XD

WOO! Frances is finally going to get some! You do your thing, Frances, you and your cool, new hairstyle.

Haha, I laughed at the Cafeteria worker being a peeping tom. Oh, those pervy cafeteria workers.

Darn! Now my hopes are climbing!

I'm also wondering who Frances is with, but I'm sure we'll find out. All in good time and no hurry. :)

I love the art hands, too. And also the gaming wrist-stretch. The sims do those things at the oddest times, like standing up for their wedding. :D Or that time you had Ripp woohoo in the hammock and the girl stood up from that and started stretching her wrist. That made me giggle... it's like "What were you doing with that hand?"

Ooh, Frances is going to sock it to the old geeze cafeteria worker! *snort* Just messing. (though it seems the cafeteria worker might be into it) That would freak out his family even more, if he shacked up with not just an OLD guy, but an underemployed OLD guy.

Glad to here your funk is lifting. Sometimes you just need to goof off a bit, huh?

Well, its nice to know that you're feeling a bit better about writing! I'm feeling a bit that way myself, though I blaim my game for that (crashing every five minutes certainly does not make me want to move on in the story). Frances's picture has the most awesome profile! That cafeteria worker is my favorite dude. He's just awesome. I'll be happy to see a new Strangetown update, whenever that may be <3

Yay Frances!!! :D

Also, don't worry about us having to "put up with you", it's insanely easy to do so when you post such amazing stuff even while taking a break :D :D

Frances

He seems to have a bit of a weird thing going on with his forehead there.

Is it just the angle?

Or is it a bit lumpy?
