Of all the strange things... for some mysterious reason, the house that the Seekers were in, in the Sims, has vanished and the Seekers were in the Families bin (the place that families get put when they aren't placed on a lot).
Currently, I have all of the Seekers living across the road from where their house was - in the house that Starscream and Soundwave have just moved in to. I have a new lot across from them, but it's a blank lot, not a repeat of the old lot (that has it's issues for why I am not totally happy with it), but I just realised I'm going to have to move someone out of Star and Sound's house to claim it. *Sigh*
Anyway, I'm going to try building my own attempt at a house for them. At least I only have to set up... four rooms? Maybe I'll do five, with possible plans of a child for Warp and TC.

I finally got jack of a particular puzzle I have been seing around wherever free online MMORPGs are advertised.
The black-haired one. I have that dress in the sims. I tend to use it as a nightdress sometimes. Dunno if anyone currently has it set as their current nightdress though.

Guy Banned From Jet For Wearing Transformers Shirt
I really wonder what is so dangerous about a picture of a gun - a gun that is on the arm of a CGI character at that.
I have run into a rather puzzling problem.
See I restored an old copy of Never Was into the Game files of the Sims 2 so I could get the Aralium household... but when I transfered the house over to another neighbourhood it was empty!
I'll try another way, but tomorrow. It's getting too late now and tomorrow is not going to be an easy day. If I have to, I'll damn well make new versions of Amarylis and Marluxia, but I'd rather not if I can get the originals I made transfered over.

Vanishing Sims?
27 March 2007 23:40While 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!

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.

Strange Dreams
25 March 2007 18:59So Thursday morning I had a lovely little medival slashy romance dream that I have been ruminating over for the last few days (now my two unamed guys from it have been stamped with Basch and Squall's faces due to my resistance to let Brokeback Mountain take them over), now - this morning - I had a puzzling little part-meta, part crossover dream that amuses me a bit.
What I remember of the begining had to do with novels and videos of old Doctor Who stories - one that had the Master in them (whether or not they really did in the waking world or not) and some strange idea that I bought them during a phase of fannishness for the Master (which IRL, I've never had).
Then I went to sit down at a table, where a young Sarah-Jane Smith joined me and I could see, out the window, a border fiddling with a motorcycle... who happened to be Sephiroth. Sarah-Jane saw him and was a bit freaked out, and I was worried she was going to cause trouble and started to reassure her that he's fine - he's just Jamie, the resident amnesiac of the house, while thinking on how that name is also the name of one of the Doctor's old companions.
And it was at that point that the newest resident wandered out, looking for breakfast - Squall, wearing black jeans and a black pullover and long Leon-esque hair - and I'm also wondering how he's going to react to Seph when he sees him... but I woke up at about that point.
And unlike the one from a few days ago, this isn't really fodder for fantasy, just one of those lovely curiosities one is damn glad to be able to remember.
