Seriously.
I just spent all night in SimPE setting relationships, interests, skills, and PP status. I go into game and it only stuck for some of the sims. Ughhhhhh. I'm just so... no. I know all the cousins and second cousins and whatever shouldn't MATTER but they do to me. Either everyone is all in this or no one is. I can't go back to playing only the main line.
But this is giving me such a big headache I can't stand it. I have a feeling like this 'hood is going to glitch on me. I already have a problem with the family aspiration. Even sims I didn't give the family aspiration have some how turned into family sims. And like I mentioned before my family sims aren't even rolling LTW's at this point. Now this could be something going on with the hack that I have that gives out LTWs based on more than a sims aspiration but I hadn't had this problem in any other neighborhood, even ones I've been playing recently.
To be totally honest I'm so tired right now I just want to say screw the new neighborhood and start over with Elizabeth. Just plop her down in a new neighborhood and start a new legacy. Idk if my OCD can handle that though. And I don't know if I very much like the idea of basically giving up on the work I put in to the family. (Even if it would still carry the family name) Not to mention throwing away the plot I've been waiting FOREVER to get out.
>______<
I think I'm just pissed that none of this work is, well, working. Plus I'm tired. And moody. I'm going to sleep on it and see how things look in the morning.
EDIT: I think I may install AL and just scrap the neighborhood rebuild until SimPE is updated for AL. Though by the time that could happen and I get going again TS3 will probably be out D: *sigh*

I honestly think Elizabeth was my cutest toddler ever. Dare I say her cuteness is greater than Bra's? O: But really! Look at her tiny Nervous chin! LOOK AT IT AND SQUEE WITH ME! *squeee*
Believe it or not I actually do have a reason for randomly pulling Elizabeth's toddler picture out for a journal update. The breif story is that when I went to extract Elizabeth Sunday I found, to my horror, that she went invisible. I went into the Greek House and both her and Rosa seem to have glitched. Their icons are there but they're totally invisible. The same thing happened to Jack and Vlad in my old neighborhood which caused me to switch 'hoods. And about two months ago the same thing happened to one of Shock's daughters and her girlfriend in this, the new, neighborhood. So I'm not going to pull out a back up for this problem because I don't want to have it repeat on me.
Which means that I'm building a new neighborhood. YAY! FUN! OH JOY JUST WHAT I WANTED TO DO! I already made the new neighborhood and I spent most of last night extracting sims and writing their stats on index cards because, you know, I'm super organized like that. I got through generation four and I'm about to start extracting generation five after this.
[Incidentally do you guys know I can recall all the sims I've married to both heirs and all the spares? Yeah why I can remember that and not how to spell or do basic math is beyond me.]
So that's the big reason why the filler chapter is still no where near being done. I still need to put all the sims in the neighborhood, kill the ones that died, and reshoot pictures for the filler chapter. I'm actually kind of glad I'm getting a chance to reshoot the pictures because I wasn't really happy with the ones I had taken. Some of them were in the first legacy house I built for them in their new neighborhood and not in the one I plan on putting them in now.
I hope to have everything sorted out by Tuesday but I'm not too sure if I can pull it off that quickly, especially with work in the way. I'll see how it goes.

Hiiiiiiii!
I feel like I should set a few things clear with my legacies. I know I've been a horrible legacy writer lately. My last update was in April and the last time I updated my Nervous legacy was... whoa back in January. I'd love to tell all of you guys who read my legacies that my life has been crazy and I haven't had the chance to update but that's, mostly, a lie. The fact is I've been a laaaaaazy. That and I haven't known which direction I want to go in as far as updating goes. One moment I want to update my Fashion legacy and the next I want to update my Nervous one.
It's all very confusing on my poor brain and lately it's been much more fun on my part to say "Screw it!" and go play a different neighborhood. I know. Bad Kiwi.
But I am in no way, shape, or form stopping with either one of my legacies. I've had a few GB signings asking if I was and the response is a big fat NO. I have too much time invested into both of my legacies to give up on them. Plus I love both families way too much to just toss them aside. So while I know my lack of updates say otherwise I WILL be continuing with my legacies.
That being said I've decided to put my Fashion legacy on a slight hold so that I can focus on my Nervous one. My basic plan is to spend this month writing updates and playing to where I want to be. (The 6th generation) I'm planning on redoing some of the scenes for my filler chapter of doom and working on that for the next few days. Ideally I'd love to have that out by next week.
After that I'll be playing the kids in college to where I need them to be and starting on the pile of college chapters. I really hope to have those finished up by the end of August so that once September rolls around I can be on the next generation.
Once that is all done with I'll go back and finish my Fashion college chapters and, hopefully, sort out a system that can have me updating more quickly with both legacies. I'm tossing around the idea of not waiting until the whole generation is finished to work on updates (as I've normally done) and instead setting up points in my playing to stop and write.
So now that this is all clear I feel better. I really am sorry about all of the lack of updates and I do hope that you guys will still be reading when I (finally) do have an update perhaps some time in the next week O:

I haven't felt like writing my Fashion college chapters so I've been playing my Nervous college students instead.
I got all 10 houses through their first semester. I'm still a far way off from being able to update, and even further from reaching gen 6, but it feels good to be making some progress :D All of the houses seem to be a quick play since most of the houses only have 3 or 4 sims in them. The only ones that are slow are, obviously, the ones that I have to stop and take pictures in. Speaking of pictures though...
I have NO IDEA how I'm going to write these college chapters. (The Nervous ones :3) Vlad and Elizabeth are in separate dorms for obvious reasons and kind of have different stories going on. I know there's going to be tons and tons of pictures I'll need to use as there are going to be some serious plotty stuff going on in college. So I guess I'm going to end up with a three part chapter? Geeeeeeez.
But once that's finished I can plaaaaay. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY :DDD
I'm so excited about generation 6. I have some things planned. And I love the names I'm going to end up using. T'is exciting stuff -nodnod-
I'm also excited to get out these Fashion college chapters and let generation C be born. Because seriously? All of my generation B kids have been in game for waaaaaay too long. They should be dead by now. (Not that I don't love them all I just want babies)
So I'm trying with this Fashion chapters. I'm going to probably hold off uploading the first half until I have the second half, depending on my mood and how long it takes me to finish. Right now I'm having a hard time writing the sort of introduction >__< Once I get that done I hope it'll be an easy write.
Crap.... I probably just jinxed myself by saying that O:
EDIT: XD I completely forgot my Fashion legacy is a year old as of May 30th. I'm such a horrible simmer that I forgot about it. Whoooops.

Which really is no big deal. I can just switch turn ons, right? Well imagine my surprise when I look in Elizabeth's relationship panel and see this:
( O.O )
Anyhoo just thought I'd share. I haven't played because I needed to change Elizabeth and Randy's turn ons/off with SimPE. I hope they have their three bolts back. That's a part of why I fell in love with them as a couple.
And just so you all know Elizabeth's gender preference is back to male thanks to ACR :}
I really don't need her heartfarting over Marla while she's going through college with Rosa.

I did something stupid.
You see I had off from work Sunday and Monday. I figured that meant I could stay up all I wanted because heyyy! I have no work the next morning. And on Sunday I stayed up until 6 in the morning so that I could finish the first part of this Fashion update. The next night I intended to finish the second part of the update but realized I couldn't stay up late because I had work the next morning. Either way I ended up staying up later than I should have.
And now it's 12:15 AM and I have to be up at 7 tomorrow to get ready for work. I'm tired but I'm, again, being stupid and drinking coke which is making me feel not so tired.
Oh but you came to hear about the update not me ramble on about my sleep, yes?
Well at this point I am 60 slides away from finishing this chapter and finishing this generation. If, of course, you don't count the college chapter as being part of the generation. Which I don't. It's stuck in between generations in my mind.
I want to have 40 slides left to write by the time I go to sleep in an hour. (Or try to anyway) That way if my brain isn't complete crap when I get home from work tomorrow I can finish it, post it, and plaaaaayyy :D
I plan on playing my Fashion kids through college during the week and a half that I'm waiting on getting my new graphics card. That way by the time I do get the graphics card and start playing my Subject kids through college I won't have to worry about playing the Fashion kids too. Fun, right?
But we'll see how that goes. For now I have slides to write.

In my Nervous legacy I have 47 students I'm going to be playing through Uni this generation. Only 3 of those 47 aren't blood related to the main line. Chya, this is what happens people when you play your spares and let them breed.
I don't think I mentioned this anywhere in this journal but from now on I'm counting this legacy the normal way. Meaning Elizabeth and Vlad are generation 5 like they should be. Which means I'm halfway there. I know, it blows my mind too.
Now for the point of this entry. Included are pictures of all the houses and students I'm going to be playing through college in my Nervous 'hood. Don't worry, I'll explain who everyone is x]
I know I made a mistake or two in there -___- It's late guys.
If you have any questions just drop a comment. When you get this far in a legacy and have all these spares it's bound to get confusing.
But for now-- YAY COLLEGE TIME IS COMING!

So I'm feeling quite accomplished today. Not because I wrote more of mine and wifey's novel. (Saving that for tonight) Not because I actually worked on the next Fashion updates. Not because I finished the wash I half started over a week ago. And not because I cleaned out the litter box that's starting to stink up my room. No! I feel accomplished because I played a lot of sims today. -nodnod-
A lot of Nervous spare sims, that is. I'm so close to playing college I can almost taste it. Right now I have 18 more houses to get through- two weeks at each. It sounds like a lot (and it probably is) but I REALLY hope to finish that by the end of March.
For now though I come with pictures. Lotsa, lotsa pictures :DD
Good god that is a lot of pictures. I need to start cutting back x]
And now I must grab some food and see if my lesbians are coming tonight ^__^

I was thinking this morning (afternoon) when I was just waking up how amazing it is that I've been playing my Nervous legacy for over a year now. I was thinking back to how it all started with Nervous and Jerry. How they were my first gay couple to have children together. How this legacy might not have stuck for me if I really did marry Nervous to that blonde face #1 girl like I had wanted to. Then I started thinking of Jamie and how I wished I hadn't rushed the chapters where she had 6 kids. Which lead me to think of Lipschitz! and just how much I miss that little guy.
Then I got this urge to dig around in my old Nervous neighborhood pictures. Just to look at first until I thought why not share them in my journal? So I dug out all the pictures I liked (mostly, I would have too many pictures if I took out all of the ones I liked) and put them all here for you all to see. These pictures are mostly of Jamie's college years, her kids, and Lipschitz!'s college years but I thought they were nice to look at ^^

So I said never again to online journals after the whole middle school backstabbing caused by them. Buut since this will be innocent enough and set aside (mostly) for sims crap what harm can be done? *gulp*
Robin is the one who convinced me to get this <3
Blame the crazyness on her- not me.
More coming later. Indeed.
(By the way this is a favorite picture of mine. The first generation couples on the wall and Orikes asleep on the couch. Awww ^__^)
