The Millers (also, real life)

I haven't updated in months. I'm aware of this and I'm very very sorry and I figured I'd owe you guys a post on the subject.

I don't know what to do.

I've tried to finish another update, I have about 57 pics in my photobucket just sitting there. The youngest kids are 6 and 3 days away from being teenagers (I had intended to finish it when everyone's an adult, but with skipping college cause sim college just plain sucks). Unfortunately two things have occurred.

One, I start up the game and just sit there and stare at my sims, watch them for half an hour and go "god this is boring" and then I go do something else. This isn' t very conductive to actually finishing the legacy properly, which I do want to do because I hate leaving it hanging here and I already feel terrible these past months for not having updated.

Two, and here's where real life comes in. We've bought an apartment. Come half October we'll get the keys (if we don't hit any snags along the way) and I'll be busy tearing up laminate flooring and painting walls. I'm not sure I'll have any kind of time or desire to sim much at all then (not that I'm simming right now). I'm happy about the apartment thing (woo, space!) but it's likely to cause even more delays if I leave this hanging for much longer still.

I'm kinda stuck on what to do. I need to finish as I owe you guys that much, but I don't actually want to play the damn game and I feel awful about it (again, I'm very sorry for still not having updated).

Help?

Lack of Updates

I want to apologize for the lack of updates lately. I wish I could say that I went on some sort of super fantastic lengthy honeymoon (I wish! no honeymoons for me!) or that other real life things took over but the truth is that I simply haven't wanted to play either Sims 2 or Sims 3 in well over a week or two. And right now I still am not motivated to play either Sims game, as much as I normally enjoy them, bleh. When I load Sims 2 all I see is a huge amount of Sims and a laggy slow game with the knowledge that I gotta wrap it up (and I want to, I don't wanna leave it hanging here, at the near end). Sims 3 is fun but I guess I'm not in a simming mood (in fact, I am more in an rpg playing mood lately). So again, I'm sorry for the lack of updates and the fact that this'll likely keep up for a while longer.

(I am alive and well though, and who knows, my husband and I may well be looking at *buying* (we already live together, just in a tiny little rental apartment) our first place together this summer.. if all goes according to plan anyway! yay!)

Off to get married - be back soon!

Obviously you've noticed updates have already been a bit slow. I'm posting to let you all know the next update will take me a while too. I'll be out of town starting tomorrow until atleast the 6th of June due to both a family birthday this weekend and... the big one... my wedding! I'm getting married on the 5th of June :)

I'll still have internet access in the coming week and will be able to read and reply (atleast, when I'm not being dragged from place to place or freaking out) but I cannot play the game and as such can't update the Millers. Creation projects are also on hold.

I hope to be back soon and be able to play and get you guys an update soon as well.

Almost Summer - Swimwear for Teen Females

Well, I've been building up a new downloads folder for use after the legacy (been wanting to do this for aaaages, but I can't because I don't want to change CC in the middle of it). I've been slowly putting in clothes, sorting them, putting in more, etc etc. While doing this I noticed a glaring lack of clothes in some categories, notably swimwear (except for adult females, of course), underwear, etc etc. Well, I felt like skinning tonight (rather than all the projects I *should* be doing) so have some swimwear for teen girls!

Bored, wish I was home right now. Shouldn't complain cause I'm going back home tomorrow already. Anyway, since I'm bored why not pic spam, aye? I promise, update coming soon. I already have a bunch of pics ready I just need to wrap it up but have been distracted with real life/creation happenings.

AM Basegame Seperates with Preg Morph

  • Mar. 25th, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Lyra Miller
Alright, I've been busy as you can see XD I decided to solve the lack of preg morph for bottoms by just adding preg morphs to the Maxis bottoms (mainly cause I wasn't sure what pants to seperate, I have *no* idea what has and hasn't been done anymore these days, such a pain to keep track of it all). Then I figured, well if I was doing the bottoms, why not the tops too? So, here we are.



More under cut to spare friends list )
 

Notice:

Those that downloaded that TSS shirt I uploaded the other day and actually care about the preg morph, please redownload. I was looking at it today and decided it was a tad too blocky, so I changed the shape a little.

I still make no guarantees on how well it fits on bottoms, clipping, etc. Just redownload the same file (I replaced it with a new file) and let it overwrite the original. I'm sorry for the trouble!

Also, I may have a solution later for the lack of bottoms with a preg morph ;)

Download A Cat

Lyra Miller
I had been toying with the idea to share the Miller cats for a while now and I saw the post on pixel_trade and thought, well, why the hell not? So, for starters, I've put up every born in game Miller cat. They're not all particularly special looking with fancy colouring or anything as most are breedings from standard Maxis breeds. But they're there for those who want them.

Update Soon

I hope to have an update up sometime this weekend, it might be a little shorter than usual since I don't think I have time to play college and add it to the update (and I've just shipped everyone off to college).

Sorry it's taking so long. While some of the time has been taken up with real life, most of it was taken up with other sim related things XD That said, I will be finishing the Millers, don't worry about that. I'm not quitting this close to the end ;)

Updated family trees

  • Feb. 16th, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Lyra Miller
I've FINALLY updated the family trees. I've replaced the one in the post with a shortened one, it contains only the direct line from gen 1 to gen 9 (with currently all of gen 9 in it, that'll change as I pick my heir). If you click it, or click here, you'll find a HUGE family tree that has everyone on it. Yes, everyone. Yes I am crazy.

I also updated the cat family tree. I never realized Cream was the Gen 10 cat! I'll probably breed her on still anyway but I honestly didn't know that technically I already managed to reach the 10 generations needed :D
