Finally got around to putting the damn thing in - icon is of my Sims 3 version of my Mimi sim. Hair is a custom style, and the game finally has decent fat, not like S2 whose fat sims are what I think of as still being fairly thin (hey, I'm fat, really fat, so fat I'm having surgery in two days to help with weight loss, so I know what is really fat and what is just a bit over "thin" and therefore irritating when girls who are like that complain about being "fat").

Also: I have World Adventures. And Riverview.

After a couple of false starts (the first one was a real irrit, since it was a whole night's play I lost), I tried downloading the game patches and got them through and loaded. I went to the Sims 3 site and tried downloading one of the free items and got it through, so I did something ridiculously ambitious, I started a download of a 95 MB file.

Riverview is a whole new town, downloadable on the website, presumably after one registers their copy of the base game. It also has at least one familiar character from S2 - Don Lothario. It's his house my Riverview savegame is set in, but I haven't done much because I was having a little problem with my mods not working.

Meanwhile I have started a new Sunset Valley game, starting out with settling in agiftedmind's pair of sisters (she remade her self-sim while over, doing some sewing, adding a sim of one of her pet OCs as the self-sim's sister). I want to use those two to check out the tourist areas.

Reflecting my recent obsession with G1 Transformers, I have done a few more icon changes - namely uploading my four favourite G1 Transformers, Optimus no withstanding as I already have two '07 OP icons.

The others besides Ultra Magnus are Arcee, Springer and Hot Rod - my OT3.

I also uploaded an icon of Rosa I found around the place, and one of the Universal Greeting.


The TF icons (Universal Greeting not included) are from the LilFormers site. Go look around, it's unbelievably cute.

My anonymous donor filled up my icons! Thankye Mousie!

With this, I may be able to delay paying my journal a week so I can do something about my chair - it'll probably only be a temporary solution (such as buying another cheap one from Ikea) but that would be better than what I have at the moment.

I'll have to see how my money scrapes up next week.



Oh, and pointless FFIII commentary: I am rather happy to know that ( Spoiler spoiler spoiler )

Why is it that plot goes by real fast? It's like I just got my pre-Dragon Mountain levelling done, a turn around twice (or to be exact, climbed the mountain, visited the Gnomes and the Vikings, got a ship and got into the inner sea and visited the accessible spots) and now I have to level again so I can buy better armour for my team (I also have access to gis - monk clothing - so I can consider training everyone up as monks.

Currently I have everyone trained up to at least Job Level 10 in Freelancer, Red Mage and Warrior with selective training per person in Black and White Mages - I'm currently working up Ingus's White Mage level, I didn't level him up in that before Dragon Mt. and since I found a gi I'm starting with Monk training, on Arc.

This time I'll push everyone up to 30 - because Luneth got up to 26 in Freelancer just in all the stuff before the first lot of job classes were made available, and the last time I looked at his level in Red Mage he was 16 and he's added another level or two since then and Ingus is a level or two behind him.
