Sims WTF

Okay, so I finally got Lunar Park finished. Yes, I'm sure there's a few WTFs at that joke. Anyhow, I got Saïx and his dad into the house and settled in to get both of them a few skills (that is becoming my usual habit isn't it?).

Problem is, I gave Ïethacan a garden - or to be specific, I gave him a whole plot of harvestable plants. A single father with a toddler and a whole plot of harvestables is going to keep me rather busy.

So I decided to get him a live-in girlfriend by kidnapping a service NPC (the nanny to be exact).

I got her all nice and made over and new clothes... then she left. I tried looking for her but she'd totally vanished, when I used the SimSlice NPC generator I found the sim with her name was totally different.

Oh well, I got it into my head while I had Ïethacan shopping (and outragously taking advantage of my non-jealousy hack) that I wasn't going to keep her as his partner anyway - I have the plan I have formed of marrying him off to one of the other single Org parents, specifically Selwyn. But not yet, I'll only do that when both Saïx and Demyx are older - childhood at the least, teens would be prefered. I'm definately not going to let those two hook up - I am not adverse to engineering my favourite ships and I would prefer to have Demyx hook up with either Xigbar or Xaldin - preferably Xaldin.


So in short: I don't know how enelar does it but I simply don't trust NPCs not to run off once I try to move them into one of my families.

Mum always seems to have problems with my electronics.

She has problems with my TV, VCR and DVD player on a regularity of once every three times she goes up stairs to watch a video. Hell, I have both the DVD player and the PS2 going through the VCR, so if one wants to use either they have to negotiate with the VCR remote control which can be set so it activates certain features on the TV... but Mum has never learnt the extent of that, she prefers to stick with using the TV remote for the TV and the VCR remote for the VCR while I've learnt to use the VCR remote for everything (because all the settings the TV remote would be needed for are all set and can be left alone).

It's a good thing the PS2 doesn't have a remote - that'd confuse the issue further!

Almost every one of Mum's TV/VCR/DVD problems can be solved by making sure all the channels are right (the TV has to be on 1, the VCR on L-1, or 0 to run the DVD player, or F-1 to run the PS2).

She also has problems with Fëanor, though not so much since the upgrade at the begining of the year. Today however she intercepted a reply from Microsoft to an error report. Sometimes I have to wonder about the conclusions she draws about computer problems - this time she's blaming Fanyarë for it, but I personally doubt it myself. Fanyarë's too new to be the problem methinks.

Not that it matters, I'm the one who maintains the computer as it is - I pay for the dialup, I'm usually the one whose advance goes towards upgrades.
