Back in action with Edie's outfit

Since [info]homemadebird was able to supply me with a duplicate of Edie's outfit, I should be able to finish chapter 26 pretty soon. Edie is still missing makeup, but I might just have her go without, or give her something a little different. That's a pretty minor detail. Thank you for helping me out, homemadebird! I actually like your version of this recolour better than the one I used to have, since the jeans are less distressed. I'm quite pleased with it.





Edie: This new haircut has really done something to your brain.

Frances: Dance, dance, DANCE! I love to dance.

Edie: Yeah... you've lost it.



Edie's apartment is missing some of its cool wallpaper (I've looked, and can't find that same pattern), and I just noticed the blue vinyl blinds (eww) in the background where the wooden ones used to be. I'll have to redownload those, if I can figure out where they came from. Losing all of your cc is a huge pain in the ass, let me tell you. Everyone should back up their downloads folder. Believe me... you'll thank yourself later.

That outfit looks great ST! I love Frances and his new hair! *hugs* I didn't even notice Edie had custom wallpaper, I thought it was H&M Stuff for some reason...

-raises hand- I NOTICE EDIE'S LACK OF MAKE UP! If, that is a picture of her now. Isn't it? :P Just pointing it out! Is she wearing any make up?

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I LOVE you, Frances!

Edie just doesn't know what REAL good moves are. :D

i'm usually the 25th person to post, but not today...lol Anyway, Edie's outfit is very, very nice. I really like the H&M SP. I never even heard of the store until this came out. Do you remember where you got her wallpaper from?

Yes, you're right, backing up everything is a must. I had the Phantom of the Arts (Opera) story going on a couple of years ago and lost everything. Yep i wanted to cry. So now I have a 500 Gig external back up drive.(very cheap) Love it. I do not write stories online, so I back my game up once a month.

You don't have to send me the Capps and Montys peeps.(thank you so much for the offer) When i get the courage to buy a new laptop, I'll start over and wont delete anything that comes with the game.

smjoshsims, your sim in your icon/avatar thingie is really cute. It's his expression and golden features. *sigh*

Wow, [livejournal.com profile] homemadebird did such a great job! That's so cool. :)

If you think of it, when you find the wood blinds could you tell me where they are? 'cause the in-game ones are kinda low-rent. ^_^

Oh no. Let's just hope he doesn't turn into my dancing fool now that he's happy for once. I didn't even alter his personality (besides his aspiration) and that is ALL he ever does.

To be honest, I downloaded homeadebird's recolor too. It's really good! I'm so glad you're able to get back to the story now. :D

Oh... I saw some wooden blinds yesterday as I was getting some stuff for my prosperity neighborhood. Man... I can't exactly remember where, but let's see if I find the site in my browser's history.

Bright orange raincoat with tinny umbrellas sounds reaaally cute and daring. I couldn't pull that off, they'll probably think i'm the cool-aid man going down the street about to bust through somebody's house. LOL

Yea, I originally started playing my sims on a laptop back when sims2 fisrt came out. When the BV EP got here, I think things started to slow way down...maybe even with Season's. So since december ive been using my desktop and kinda miss playing the sims in the bed, and or wherever, sooo....one of the ladies at the Sims2 EA site helped me pick a decent laptop, but to wait till the new nvidia graphics card came out. It's here now, and I went for the HP laptop customized at their site. My husband may freak when he sees it. lol

When you started your re-hunt for cc, I was so happy I backed up my cc folder. I'm also so anal, I save the zipped/rar'ed files in a different place.

If I've lost everything with this current computer meltdown, I'll only have lost a few things, NONE of which have been shown in game yet. That makes me happy.
