The Slow Insidious Lure of the Glitterturd...

Oh...no...I need to be strong...Must not waver...

Cannot...not waver...the pull is strong...but I'm stronger. No...it's trying the CAS Demo method of insidiously trying to make me want to play the Glitterturd...and it's incessant cheeriness and saccharine happiness...NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

For Flarkin' Shits and Giggles

I'm downloading the Glitterturd CAS_Demo...it will not go any further.

I just have a morbid curiosity to see what River and Haruo look like in TS4...of course they will be elders...somewhat...since they are young adults in TS3.

For Shits and Giggles evidently is right. The so-called vaunted facial push-pull system isn't very tactile...and there isn't a whole hell of a lot you can do with it. I just some how prefer TS3 over TS4. Also the TS4 CAS Demo will only allow me to create YAs.

Finding the magnifying glass to one side helped in creating the Sim and dealing with their faces, but it still was hit or miss.

This one looks a bit better but Haruo still looks like he got beaned with the frying pan.

Looks better with thought-bubbles.

You Can't Go Home Again...(or Maybe You Can) - A Solution With Workarounds

Advanced NRAAS Master Controller Techniques

I've tried this for vacations and University Life...but it involves laying a lot of groundwork.

I finally figured out a way to eliminate the time-stoppage during vacations and university into the time-frame of the game. Part of this involves estimating the travel time that it takes to get from one place to another, based on the day that they leave and the day that they return (which is essentially the same day; however I just add however many days that it takes to get to that same day, one week ahead or however many weeks ahead based on the number of days that they spend on vacation or at University).

Looks like Fiona had a little bit of WOOHOO between her fling that created River and now...
