Ohyeah. And how could I forget.. Hunter (AKA: Guy From Boot Juice Picture, Now Elderly-like) downed more boot juice and did the electrocution thing.. only the electrocution sparks got stuck on him. So now he sparkles everywhere. Which reminded me of... Kaili here, who had a similar thing happen to her, except with the Blue Glow From Elixer of Life. Hers cured later when I had her drink more elixer.. going to try the same thing with Hunter, but it's taking a while. It's winter so the pond is frozen, and no one has any more boots to juice (and the last one he made, he did something else instead of the fake electrocution).

Two reasons the new Free Time expansion pack rules all: Reason One: The toddler/child activity table Now toddlers and children can socialize en masse (4 per table) while gaining creativity or mechanical skillz (aka: drawing pictures or building with blocks). And if you look closely, you'll see that the toddler scribbles.. while the child has actually drawn a bit more advanced picture (stick people). AWESOME SAUCE. The four children are from my biggest family.. Stephanie (short curly hair, child), Hannah (red dress, child), Molly and Matthew (twin toddlers). Also, once they finish a picture, you can hang it on the wall. As evidenced here (from another family, picture scribbled by the sleeping Melyira there). And Reason Two: Knowledge sims can eventually earn the ability to 'Summon Aliens' with the telescope, thus increasing their chances of being abducted. :3 The poor abductee is Gerard, Melyira's dad (and they're both actually distant relations of the four kids above.. but it's long and complicated and weird). Free Time = awesome. (PS - I'm sorry for having not been around this week, all. This week was kinda rough on me, with a bunch of stress IRL, so I stuck mostly to AIM. :x Apologies!)

Perhaps I am missing the obvious, but can anyone tell me where pictures get saved when you take them on the game?

My Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Neighborhoods > (Appropriate neighborhood folder) > Storytelling
Where (Appropriate neighborhood folder) will be the neighborhood you want. So if the family you took pictures of is in Pleasantview, you'll want the N001 folder. Strangetown is N002, Veronaville N003. Etc.
In the Storytelling folder, there are two of each picture.. a snapshot and a thumbnail. For sharing pictures, you'll want the snapshot one.. since it's bigger. Obviously. XD;

I come to post in your OOC threads. Fear me and my off-topic-ness! I don't know. But it sure is funny.

Thread necromancy! That screenshot is awesome. XD The cat looks SO MAD. I have no Sims screenshots, but I do have some Morrowind screenshots. They're practically the same thing. Right guys? Right? No? Too bad. ;D My current character Hizika, in the white armour. He's not much of a looker, but he's so awesome he doesn't need to be. The guy in the foreground, in the green armour, is Julan Kaushibael. He's from a mod I downloaded and is even more awesome. He's the pretty one, plus his eyes glow in the dark. It's so easy to keep track of him when I'm raiding dark caves! I don't know what sort of mod I downloaded to make this happen, but all of a sudden there are swarms of bees in certain areas of Vvardenfell. Here Julan has heroically summoned a skeleton to kill one of them, while that guard to the right flails his spear around and tries to help. Remember that crazy chess-playing guy from the McCarthy household? I think he's been reincarnated in this Bosmer right here. D: I hired him to stand watch from a guard tower (also part of a mod), but for some reason instead of doing that he follows me in and out of this house, and just stands there STARING at me. He used to be up in the tower, but he came down during a bee attack and has been refusing to go back up ever since. Another companion I like to use, Marcel. (My games are at least 75% mods, deal with it. XD) Julan is next to him being a camera ho. You can see the creepy Bosmer guard in the background, standing in front of the door and waiting for me to try and go back in. Marcel in front of the tower. Yes, he's smirking. Draw your own conclusions. XD Also, if you look closely you can see a dead bee in the background. Marcel killed it good!

I have no idea what Morrowind is because I am one of the uncool kids, but! I just want to say that I find the stalker guard highly amusing. XD
And also that last picture is made of win. XDD

It's his TOWER OF POWERMorrowind is the best game evar. Mainly because the modding community is so huge there's pretty much no end of things to do even if you've finished every single quest there is in the base game (and there are quite a lot, especially with the two expansions). I just ventured off to get away from the bees for awhile, but I know that the creepy stalker guard will be waiting for me when I get back. I should fire him...or, alternately, tell him to follow me to an isolated area and introduce him to Trueflame.

That is awesome. XD In other news, I just got a maid with a mohawk in one of my sim families. I.. have never known maids to get so wild with their hair before. I forget his name (Adrian Young?).. but he will be married into the family at some point for he is awesome looking.

Necromancy of thread necromancy! I finally got University and Seasons, so I'm eager to get back into playing the Sims. Yes, finally as in 'well after the last expansion pack came out.' I'm slow, sue me. I apologise in advance for the teeny tiny screenshots. This is what I get for trusting the in-game camera. D: George and Angela seem to have a thing for one another. Both are married. George is OLD. Stop leering at your son's wife, George! And stop leering at Renavio! I think he did a cannonball here. It looks like he's drowned, though. Fitting, since the McCarthies are a mafia family. All he needs is a pair of cement shoes. ;D I don't recall there being an option to play Marco Polo before. It must have come with one of the expansions. It's cute! Or was up until Scheherazade decided she hated Marco Polo and got out of the pool to flail her arms around and stomp in place angrily. Renavio is very fit, but he still bellyflopped upon jumping into the pool. XD Karra followed after awhile and jumped twenty feet in the air to execute a Matrix-style somersault before entering the water in a perfect dive. Now we know why she carries him around. This old lady is the president of the gardening club or something. She showed up to nag me about my lawn, then hung around for awhile in spite of the fact that nobody was talking to her. I wonder why she's in that sweatsuit...? She can't possibly be going to... No, of course she's not. How silly of me to think she was going to go swimming in her exercise clothes! EVEN WORSE. She can't be?! SHE IS. Renavio, upon exiting the pool, picks industriously at his ear. Isn't one of the basic rules of pool safety to stay out of the way when somebody is on a diving board?What the... *facepalm* *facepalm* Well, at least it wasn't his underwear, I guess. I regret ever installing that hack. I decided to do another breeding experiment with Mikhail, to see if there is ANY dog out there that will not make hideous pups with him. Those gigantic maned things are the result of crossing him, a somewhat fluffy husky/wolf/rottweiler thingy, with a very very non-fluffy African Wild Dog. HOW?! If you look in the background you can see the reproductive adjuster that was responsible for these monstrosities. Lawl. Good old Mikhail, still scaring the shit out of me. Scheherazade's current aspiration is to be friends with Scheherazade. Narcissistic much? So...not much actual Seasons/Uni stuff, I'm afraid. XD But autumn begins tomorrow, and Scheherazade grows into a teen tomorrow as well! So I'll soon be able to send her off to college. Well, soonish.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHA!!! This is my favorite thread EVER. And BTW, I just bought a NEW COMPUTER! It's a notebook HP 9700t series with a 17" screen - by far the BEST thing I have EVER owned. I believe it will revolutionize my Sims-playing and Mucking experiences.

Yay! You haven't played the Sims until you can run it on full settings without slowdown. It looks SO much better. If there are any whacky hijinks, screencap them! We love whacky hijinks. XD In fact... Autumn has arrived! And with it, new avenues of stupidity to explore. Interestingly, Scheherazade's and Yves' birthdays fall on the same day. So she'll be growing up to a teenager at the same time he grows up to a toddler. George and Angela were morons and decided to start a water balloon fight outside after dark. They became chilled, and to warm up they drank hot chocolate and chatted at the kitchen table. He doesn't look quite so enamoured with her now, does he? I completely forgot about this woman. Apparently, she was swimming in the pool, in her underwear, ALL NIGHT LONG. Will she die of exposure if I don't kick her out? I'm not sure. There's only one way to know... Also, last night around the same time Angela and George were trying to catch a cold, this fellow showed up at the McCarthy house through the magic of cheating. He's supposed to be a silver marble bengal, but the create-a-pet options really didn't give me a lot to work with. For what it's worth, this is what a real silver marble looks like: bengal-cat.net/BENGAL289.jpgScheherazade's birthday is today! As is Yves'. She didn't like the balloons, but she looked pleased by the cake. Too bad, Yves is going first! (Note: in retaliation to this obvious slight, 'Hera left the kitchen to play with the dogs, then ran off to give Keshawn a hug when he got back from work. Clearly he's the favoured parent here, even though he's been responsible for every single instance of a newborn getting left on the floor somewhere for hours on end.) O.O Looks like Angela broke her arm. O.O! Kallisto has the right idea, I think. Why does this family have to be so got-danged CREEPY? After that Angela wandered off to have a pillow fight with George, leaving Yves floating in midair like some sort of demon spawn. I cancelled the action, made her bring him back to the cake, and this time everything proceeded normally. Even Keshawn and Scheherazade showed up. Yves is less than pleased by all the noisemaking going on around him. "Hooray! I'm flying away from you freaks! " ...Well, gosh, I'm not sure what to say. Except that maybe I should not have decorated his room all in pink... "Girly Yves is angrymaking. " Don't worry, Yves. Mommy loves her little ponce. <3 Now Scheherazade! At first Scheherazade seemed at a loss as to what she should be doing. She spent a few minutes just standing there, smiling sheepishly at everyone, and then eventually scratched her head. As she was doing this, Renavio and Karra got home from work. The former flashed her a thumbs-up as he went by, sticking his arm through George's head in the process. George seemed not to mind. It just wouldn't be a McCarthy birthday without something creepy happening, would it? Teenaged 'Hera. I'll be sending her off to college shortly. I guess George and Shenna get to live to see their granddaughter earn a diploma.

Elim - Oooooh. New computers are awesome. <3 PLAY SIMS. SHARE THINGS WITH US. <3 Sho - Yes, 'marco polo' came with Seasons. Seasons is full of awesome and win. Just.. be careful with the kids playing out in the snow. If they get chilled, the social worker shows up dang fast. D: I lost three kids once because of it (although there's a hack somewhere on MATY for it). Gardening Club Lady swimming in her underwear? D: D: D: And I love Hera's want to be friends with herself. XD I once had a sim who had a want to "See the Ghost of" himself. D: And University has an awesome want if your sim has a cowplant and they dislike someone. They'll get the want to "Drink <Name>".. meaning they want the cowplant to eat that person so they can drink Elixer of Life from it. XD Also. Yves in the pink PJs reminds me of one of my sims (an ancestor of Waset's, actually). The mom wanted 10 kids.. and the first several were all boys. I think she really wanted a girl because every single one of those boys kept toddler aging into the pink PJs. XD University with Seasons is nice.. because if you set all the seasons on the University neighborhood to Fall, they get all their homework and such done quicker!
