The icon says it all (with a smile)

Don't ask me why I was so dedicated to the task of making an icon with Ripp giving you all the finger, but once the idea popped into my head, it became a personal challenge (and you never know when something like that could come in handy, right?). Sim hands are ridiculously stumpy and lacking in detail, so it looks pretty goofy and a little like one of those foam sports hands that fans wave, but I think it came out looking okay, don't you?

The stupid grin keeps it playful, so even when used to tell someone to sit on it, it doesn't appear overly aggressive. I can easily imagine Johnny on the receiving end of this gesture, instead of, say, Tank. 

I have writer/simmer's block. Can you tell?

Perfect.

They have the most random wants, it's hilarious. One of my favorites is "look at fish," so easily amused. :D

The fifty first dates one is pretty easy, if you have the help of a matchmaker. I know sometimes there are really hard ones like 100 first dates. (That's almost every sim in a neighborhood, I think. D:)

Yeah, and having them actually wanting to do things like watch TV and drink coffee is awesome too. It's realistic. Stay how from work is such a real want that people have.

I've done the matchmaker thing (with a guy who was married, so he could only do it while his wife was at work). I like that they don't have to be good dates. It's pretty funny.

100 dates?! I've never seen that before. It is an actually LTW, or just the impossible want that they roll after they go on so many dates (like have 10 kids)?

That is actually believable. Vali has the evilness and intelligence to get away with it, even though he's a toddler. He's like Stewie, from Family Guy.

(It's not like it's a published book, so it can have lots of plot holes. Ripp will fall into one, and appear in our universe! And give us all the finger.)

Okay, I'll stop spamming you now.

[identity profile] dothesmustle.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I love stay home from work!

I had to do that, too. I was surprised she never got caught. I was ~sneaky~ and made her end the date as soon as she got her date and go on another. That idea gave her many crap bags, though.

I think I saw it once, but I can't remember if it was a lifetime want. I remember seeing it in a legacy, it rolls occasionally, kind of like the "Earn 200,000 Simoleons" want.

Heheh. I need to get the story to a point where I can make use of Vali's birthright of evil. He's a great little terror.

Yeah, that's very true. Anyone who expects more than that is expecting too much. It's pretty obvious that I'm making up a lot of it as I go along, right? ;)

I don't mind. I'm procrastinating from various things here. But, yeah... I should go now. It's late here.

Thanks for gabbin' with me.

LMAO! This all makes me wanna blow the dust off this one...

I gather someone on Insim Adult was actually working on a real animation for sims to do, triggering relationship hits with whoever they did it to. It looked pretty good, too. I hope they're still working on it - and since Pescado saved the day after that fiasco, we'd still be able to check :D

Pescado is such a hero in the Sims community. He really does great stuff for us all!

Love the icon! Sorry you are experiencing blockage. Hope it passes soon!

Haha, lovely icon :D It's a very friendly finger *snicker* Creative constipation sucks - just remember that suspension of disbelief is your friend ;)

Lol, you always come up with something really funny!

WANNA KNOW MINE? IT'S ~FRANCIS~. OH YEAH!

Capslock Land scared me at first... Until I ventured out into the deep, dark depths of the chatroom. It's fun to talk to people about (quite perverted) nonsense every once in a while. Oh who am I kidding, I'm bunk mates with Elmer. Thats right, we live there and Juan and Leroy are our next door neighbors. I'm way too used to it now- and besides, after a while, regular letters (what they call "lapscocking") becomes a bit strange.

Speaking of which, I looove Pleasure sims. Their silly little wants are so easy to fulfill. And I believe that's the reason why my 2 outgoing point Bunker likes to walk around in his underwear all day.

Frances gets the most random wants out of all of my pleasure sims. He recently rolled "spy at neighbors"! Guess he didn't think of the consequence of that. Oh yeah, he and Vidcund are best buds lemme tell ya. And he's quit two jobs because it's been in his want panel to do so. :P

I've had a bit of writers/simmers block for like the past 3 months. I think I'm finally getting out of it though. To me, that's a good and a bad thing. I spent all yesterday making over everybody in Strangetown for the two parties. And since installing Apartment Life, my game is running extremely slow. The next chapter in IB is definitely going to be hell to shoot because of all of the sims.
