Strangetown, Here We Come.

Nobody understands them, but their love will prevail. *wipes tear*

So wrong that it's right! Ripp/Ariel forever! *waves flag*

I love it! Hilarious glitch. It's opposite The Dorks Legacy where everyone thought Willoughby was a dog. Sit Roll Over

From:

That's an awesome glitch. Willoughby must be a real bitch to bring that on. Heheh.

(Just out of curiousity... did her neighbourhood explode after that? *crosses fingers*)

They're now my new OTP. :D

From:

I had to rewrite the ending... again. ;)

Does this mean that's gone through all the girls in town and is looking for some new type of pussy?

From:

In a word, yes. :P

From:

And suddenly all the cats in Strangetown disappeared, leaving only their frightened howls echoing behind them!

From:

They'll be back...

Hehehe. Well, kitties do like backrubs, but probably not that kind.

I notice Ripp has graduated! And wants to be a rock star.

From:

Yeah, as long as he sticks to back rubs, this is fine. (I don't even think back rub is classified as a romantic social, is it?) I can just see "flirt with Ariel" popping up next. If I could have filled those wants, I would have, just to see what would happen.

He did. And he's on the path to being a rock star. *nods* It's true.

Well, this is pretty weird. Look what happened to us today:

Never seen it before you posted about it, and then the next day it happens in our game! Could we possibly both get the same random bork at the same time, or could it be a EP/SP/hack glitch?

From:

This makes me sad. You know it's a sign that your neighborhood is glitching up, right? D: D: D: D: D: D: D:

On the other hand, Ripp is hilarious. XD

From:

Hay, glitched neighborhoods are nothing! My neighborhood has been glitched for months and it's still kicking~ 8D

From:

Um, no bb! Then it's going to DIE and what will we ST do?!

Maybe I'm just a pessimist? IDK.

From:

It will never die. I know, okay. I'm a SIMS PROPHET.

YOU ARE A PESSIMIST BE HAPPIER, GOSH. :(

From:

YOU NEVER KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW. D:

From:

Get a puppy!

From:

-_-

From:

Well, that's a relief. :D

It won't burn out, it'll fade away. I KNOW IT.

From:

Really? :( Is it like the toddler LTWs?

I try to be so careful, but I guess I do add a decent number of hacks and stuff, so you never know. I did have that Eternal Flame (which seemed to resolve when I removed Monique's "talk to many" garden hack), and sometimes my sims see that scratchy omen of doom thing.

Oh well, if it goes, it goes. I make lots of backups, and I package all my sims too, with notes, so I could rebuild (though, honestly... I probably wouldn't).

From:

Yeah, it's one of the danger signs.

Most of the Very Bad Things are srs, like deleting Sims from the bin or moving them between hoods.

Do they gossip about it? Pescado says tat it's worse when they gossip about the scratchy thing.

YOU WOULDN"T? D: (Hell, if it came to that even I'd do it for you.)

From:

Hmmm, well I'll keep my eyes open for other signs.

I never do any of those things. I think I'm pretty careful.The hood does have a lot of people in it now, but not nearly as many as some people's hoods do. Hopefilly, it will hold on until I get through what I can of the story (ideally, all of it *crosses fingers*)

I have to be honest. I don't know if I'd have the heart for it (or the patience - there are a lot of things I'd have to recreate). It wouldn't ever be the same, and that would frustrate me. There'd be things like differences in chemistry. I played Strangetown once where Ripp had negative chemistry with Ophelia and that's disappointing for me. What if that happened again?

I think I would recreate as much as needed to make an epilogue to the story, and try to clue it up as best as I could.

But, hopefully, that won't happen...

(Sorry for the billions of edits. I'm being careless here.)

From:

Aww, but I'm PRAYING that nothing bad ever happens. *crosses fingers*

From:

Yeah, me too. I want to finish the story, at least on some level.

From:

leskuh.livejournal.com

I'm keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes that your game never ever dies, but if does ever does bork up completely I'd draw it for you. Which, you know, would take a damn long time and the format would probably have to be completely different, but I'd do it because I wuv you and this story.

From:

Aww, thanks. ^_^ That would actually be awesome (and I'm partly tempted to bork the game just to do it). It would be different, and much slower, but a collaborative comic would be very fun to do.

For now, I'll have to settle for using your work in the artworks in the story, which I'm still super happy about. I love them every time I see them.

From:

Oh, and no... they haven't gossiped about it yet. They saw it out the window and once complained that it was blocking their way (that one worried me a little).

From:

mystefaction.livejournal.com

Hi, lurker, sorry to butt in, but the one in the blocked-path complaint bubble at least sounds more like a stuck/invisible kicky bag (or similar). I had a family get one in front of their fridge once, and I nearly had a heart attack the first time they complained! But once I figured it out and cleared the tile, it stopped. I haven't seen it in that neighbourhood since.

From:

I think it was actually a stuck "used" catnip mouse, so that sounds about right. It was on a staircase (the mouse had been on a landing) and I had to delete the whole thing with the stuck object remover. The thing that was deleted was actually called something like "destination: for drop". It didn't really makes sense to me, but I remembered that the mouse had been there, so I figured it had something to do with that.

Thanks for your input. It's helpful to know these things.

Hahahaha! Ripp is into ANYTHING.

Random, but...dsjdskjd ADULT. Oh man, he's been a YA for the longest time. ARE YOU EVEN USED TO USE NORMAL WALK. I WOULDN'T BE. :(

From:

Nothing surprises me with him. NOTHING. (Except when he rolls the want to get married... heehee.)

I know. It's been a whole year, and more now. I'm not used to the walk. They're so fast and efficient now! What will I do with all the free time?

Oh, and the YA walk is so funny, isn't it? :P Cracks me up. They're so lazy.

Someone asked about the Talk to a pet thing on MATY, and JMPescado said it was something to do with the weird way the game is structured, so it's not necessarily borked.

Bad Ripp! You're meant to want Ophelia only, although I'm sure she wouldn't mind a character from another Shakespeare play...

From:

Oh, really? Well, that makes me feel better. If Pescado said that, I'm sure he's right, since he knows about the coding and such, to be able to make hacks that are, you know, awesome.

Ripp just really likes cats.

Ophelia won't mind a little kitty love, as long as he sticks to talking and back rubbing (though, I suspect this is just the beginning of that whole date sequence... talk, tell dirty joke, play, back rub, flirt, hug, kiss, make out... head over to the pet house).

From:

showercapfrog.livejournal.com

Well, he said that about "Talk to Pet". I'm not sure what "Give Backrub" would mean and so this could be an entirely different situation.
I really hope it's the same though, because if this went away I would cry. Just tell us that you have writer's block if your neighbourhood does go kablooey so I don't have to think it's never coming back :P

And heading over to the pet house made me lol :P
They should adopt Ariel ;) Ripp can have all the pussy he's missing out on again.
