For Music Simbol... Happy (belated) Birthday!

[strangetomato]

I didn't forget your birthday, music_simbol, but my gift couldn't be created with my game all messed up like it was. So please accept this belated gift: a little "family" portrait of some of your favourite sims. No, I'm sorry, it's not smut. :P The sim men in question are above that sort of thing. Try as I might, I couldn't even get them to take off their shirts.





This is how we take portraits in the Worthington family. :) Pretty classy, don't you think?

Apartment Life is going to be very good to the Worthingtons. They'll even have a butler now. I'm planning to spend some time fixing up their place with all the new snooty content. It's going to be awesome. You'll be seeing more of Frances and his family, and isn't that sort of like a gift in itself?

Happy Birthday, Music Simbol! As others have said, I hope you didn't transition into something embarrassing. :P

For me, the ceiling tile frustration wasn't so much the time and effort of putting them up... or even the times they transformed en masse into hostas. It was hiding them to play and see inside the house, then showing them to take screenshots, then hiding them again to play, then showing them again...

That still makes me laugh whenever I think about it. :D Attack of the Hostas!

So those ceiling tiles blocked your view when playing too?! How did anyone ever tolerate them? I could tell I wouldn't be able to deal with the hassle, but that's... wow.

There's a controller, so you can turn them on or off. If I remember right, you can also enable a fade on them.

The problem with the controller is it's tiny. It's shaped like a CD disk and you can only put it on the floor. Tiny is good because you can hardly see it in a screenshot, but bad when you want to find and click on it to make your tiles show up. It's doable but gets to be a bit annoying.

How do they work in AL?

Hmmm... Well, a controller doesn't sound too bad (annoying if it's hard to find, though). The new ceilings can be toggled on and off too.

In AL, they are just there, unless you turn them off. It's automatic. I think you can switch between different styles, but I haven't figured that out yet. :P

One way I deal with the controller is to always put one by the front door. The consistency helps me find it. But I still have to get there, and zoom in enough to click it, then move the camera back. *is lazy*

Do the ceilings in AL have fade? Like, if you're close enough you can see through? Or wait... are they even visible from above? If they're invisible from above, I'm so effing sold on AL!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm so lazy like that too. Any simplification is a good thing, in my books.

I'm pretty sure the ceilings are invisible from the top. I'll have to double check but I feel safe saying yes. :D It's pretty great.
