Vanishing Sims?

While I was placing all my lots in the temporary nieghbourhood I found myself missing one - the Aralium household was missing!

Just so you know? Aralium is Marluxia's house - along with his mother Amarylis.

Oh I have an easy solution - something that probably would have made all the work I did yesterday a lot easier if I had thought of it then instead of only when I realised the stuff-up I'd made with Wutai (I did a test - family relationships are destroyed by moving to another nieghbourhood - so stuffing around with placeholder sims in the key lots of my extended family has not been me being a glutton for punishment). Basically, I dump the nieghbourhood file from one of my old saves in the EA Games folder and steal the old version of the house from it.

It's a pain though, I have to go into the game itself first because Never Was is nieghbourhood 005, but so is Temp because I still have an old compy of Abadonia loaded (I was seeing if the copy of Supernova in it would be as much trouble as the more recent versions - it was - but at least fixed the Wutai accident by stealing the Kisaragi household from it instead of stuffing around, getting Yuffie back then having SimPE the family relationship between her and Godo back together).

Eee gads!

'Tis the Season of Strange Dreams!

I am starting to wonder if the cool weather that Autumn has finally produced is what is making me have more memerable dreams lately.

This one had nasty dolls that drained people's lives to fix themselves, and it as had altered versions of my two boys from a few days ago - and weirdly someone who faintly resembles Inuyasha.

I find myself wondering what the hell my head is doing... maybe it was channelling a bit from when I had to remake the Istilyn family last night - they're drow, so they have white hair, and I tend to leave actually changing their skintone until later in the building process because the black skin is hard to do facial modelling on - hard to see contours.


As for the sims, extreme measeures have been implemented to deal with the housing problem - I'm only halfway through at the moment and hardly have time right at the moment to go and do anything further - I have to go in to work early tonight, for stocktake. I'll be late home too but I'll see if I can get some more done then - at least settle the houses.
