sims 1 - house in tokyo
Monday, August 16, 2010
I am not the most practical of builders, nor are my house layouts anything more than a few boxy structures piled together. Still I have fun when I make a house and I try to look at all the possibilities that can make a house more real - personal touches with various scattered personal artifacts, all thanks to the object creators. A hairbrush here, a baseball there. What I'm talking about is trying to give a house some personality.

Here's a small city house that is supposed to look like it would belong on any busy street of Japan. Hopefully more to come from this same hypothetical street. ;)












nevermind the sim; he likes to sleepwalk / act generally creepy after dark.


upstairs..




and there he goes again.


P.S: Shout-out to Sandy and Isi, who indulged me in my Sims 1 pictures, encouraged me to take more, and are generally wonderful people to know. :)

sims 1 - musician's den
Sunday, July 25, 2010
I think  I'm slightly hooked onto TS1 again... is that weird? Somehow, its wonderful - the game's insanely fast on this laptop, no lags or choppy graphics. Plus, I've always felt that of all three games, objects look way better in Sims 1 than in either Sims 2 or 3. So crisp and detailed, does it have to do with them not being composed not of polygons but images?
In any case, I love the oldschool feeling it gives; simple because it does not have so many of the additional features added onto each subsequent game. I say this in a good way. Seriously, its a breeze to play this game. (Though I must admit I miss my dynamic-rotation style camera).




Messing around with the downloads that I do have (considering the giant hole left in the wake of 'dead' sites), I made this building, set on the same lot, but a little distance apart from the house of this sim. If you like it, comment on this post, and I'll finish the house to share that as well.

sims 1 - loft
Friday, July 23, 2010
Sign of life! After a really long time I found myself to be free these last few days - so, on a whim, I installed Sims 1 on my laptop. One download spree (oh where have all my favorite ts1 creators gone?!) and an hour spent in-game later, I present to you my first slipshod house (minus bathroom) in a while.




Genius or no genius, he clearly has a drinking problem..

I'm sorry about the lack of downloads, as well as general updates. But this is proof that I do post when I get the time to resurface and breathe. However, I have not played the Sims 2 in... forever, so I won't promise any downloads right now.
Make do with the affection pseudo-oozing from my heart to yours. That and irregular* posts on life and other pretty things.
