River McIrish-Chikamori

River and her husband, Haruo. (below)

River: Our first Christmas, my love...
Haruo: ...and many more to follow...
River: I love you so much.

The Weather Network sucks for weather prediction (even in the Sims 3)

River: Honey, The Weather Network predicted 2-3 inches of snow today.

Haruo: Hmmm, sweetheart, sounds like the perfect time to hibernate for the winter.

Narrator: 2-3 inches, my ass

Haruo (looks out window): You have GOT to be shitting me...

Merry Christmas to All - 2021

...and not having been in a photography mood as of late...here's a shot from 2008 from my and @Featherbelle's Christmas tree back then.

Sometimes Real Life Intrudes Upon My Idyllic Sims-Playing...

Let's just say B.C. has had a rought time of it this year.

Get a Dog (Sims 3 Tips in Tune).

If you want a lot of simoleons get a dog

If you want a lot of simoleons get a dog

Be rollin' in gemstones; other sims will bitch n'moan,

If you want a lot of simoleons get a dog 😁

I'm stinkin' RICH!!! 😁

WTH is going on with River's eyebrows?

They look all janky...

...so I'm going into CAS and seeing if I have a set of cc eyebrows that will make her eyebrows look better yet keeping her still looking like my River McIrish.

There, it seems to look much better and it still leaves River looking like River.

The Fiancée and the Girlfriends

Haruo's fiancée, River McIrish

Torao's fiancée or girlfriend...Bebe Hart, doesn't care which way you refer to her.

Samantha Grey decided to move from the Sorority house since she is dating Kosuke Chikamori (Haruo's cousin)

Michelle Eberhard (one of my created sims) is the girlfriend of Kosuke's brother Yoshiharu.

Yeah I know, I keep tossing new cousins into the mix for Haruo. But hey, we Asians multiply so large families.

Doing Sims University in 4 Sim YEARS

...instead of 2 Sim Weeks.

Because two week long university schedules aren't long enough for my legacy, I've decided to play my Sims University via the "make it up as I go along method" and then use NRAAS to confer upon them a degree upon their "conclusion". So there will be four years of university (along with the resultant three season changes during the course of the "school year".

What I've done is set up University as a homeworld (downloaded CAWster's Sims University world and made it a homeworld). They will go through each year of their four year university degree (with the appropriate season changes...and the story will be written along with it. There will be a convocation at the end of it (and...it will be an outdoor ceremony)... along with the appropriate stuff for it. Sims dressed in graduation gowns and mortarboards.

I think this way, I'll get the seasons the way I want them to show in terms of university...and be able to play it at a pace in which I'm able to actually show the interactions between Sims rather than a rushed through "university experience".

Renovated the house that they were living in originally to include a fourth bedroom and bathroom up in the "attic". This way, Haruo and River can live upstairs...rather than "out in the garage" which unfortunately with City Hall regulations would be considered an "illegal suite" whereas up in the attic, the City would look the other way.

What used to be a gap and a railing is now a set of stairs leading up to the third floor attic suite.

There isn't much happening on this blog other than it being a repository for pictures...

...that I post up on the forums. But all that posting might be coming to an end. Frankly, the forums appear to be catering to the under-age crowd (namely the under thirteen crowd, especially with that shitshow called "The Sims 4"; and frankly, I'm not too keen on sticking around, if I can't write the way I want...some of my stuff is blue, others are military stories...which tend to gravitate into violence. So I guess I'll have to build up my followers on my blogs and on Tumblr.

What really gets me is the fact that the Sims is supposed to be Teen and up, and this age group hears and sees worse on TV and at school. But well, it's no cussing, no sex (oh, pardon me, in the Sims, it's woohoo) and...uh...no violence or the little kiddies will be triggered. FFS, the Sims is turning into a shit-show...and the Glitterturd is a big part of the problem.

More Pictures - 12-11-2021 (Yet...almost another year of Sims Playing gone).

This was one of my last shots...in my portrait setup save, but hey...I'm always on the lookout for "romantic" poses.

Yippee... Merry Christmas...

Time to go on a Christmas cc downloading spree...It's Christmas time, whoopie...

Phil being Phil

He's always stated that he was insane.

Evidently he's making inappropriate forum posts.

What else is new?

River & Haruo again

...in real life however...

It's going to snow tonight...and I don't have winters...on my car. Tomorrow morning commute is going to be so much fun.

Trying to stay focused when playing my game.

Don't know if it's "writer's block" or what, but it's affecting my game playing. Haven't really had much interest in pursuing much of my writing.

Between that and real life piling up, well, things just get put to the wayside. After all, there's a lot more important things. But the simple enjoyments are what keeps us going.
