your promises are no good, you say...

So for the first three weeks I've been back from vacation, my brain has been a cesspool of unholy mush. And now that my brain appears to be rising from the dead, I really need to take advantage of that and get some work done on the book... before my head start to fester in the blistering-hot sun again. (Sorry, hubby's had me watching too many rotten horror movies lately, lol!)

But I am allllllllmost done with Summer's profile, so I'll put up her mosaic as a little treat, since you've all been waiting so patiently! :)

1. name: Summer

Summer and Tyler, v.1,247... and Dallas v.2

I was supposed to be working on a story update for you guys, but then I got to doing the final tweaks on Summer and Tyler, and they turned out so stinking perfect that I couldn't stop taking pictures of them! :D

I know he's supposed to be away 'n stuff, so we can pretend this is a dream she's having, lol!

I'm also just practicing posing the Sims together, and oh man! This is hard! TS3 Sims make the goofiest faces! And I *need* a freezer clock! :( Can somebody make me one please!?!

the master plan

This is for me, mostly, but I thought some of you might like to look at it too.

(Big image - click here. And please pardon my splicing together of two different pictures, lol!)

This is pretty much everything I was trying to describe in words in the previous post, but you know, visuals are easier, lol!

It's neat to see how they'll all be connected for real in the end... and OMG, this is going to take me months and months to ever finish! :o

I can haz CAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Please pardon my nerdy glee! :D

So this is clearly just mostly Riverview Lite at the moment, but I have begun making some edits to slowly transform this bad boy into Lakeside Heights. On the left side of the river will be Lake City, and on the right side will be a mish-mashed version of Lakeside Heights and Bluewater neighborhoods. The brown areas at the bottom shorelines are where I've extended the land so far. On the bottom left will be the Stoneview Court neighborhood, and the bottom right will be the Lakeside Heights Lakeshore area.

the McCullough family and custom schools...

I needed some school-aged children to test out my schools with, and so...

The McCullough family moved to Riverview! :)

Here's Robbie and Fiona - doesn't she just look like she's up to no good already? lol! After I moved them in, she did nothing but fight with poor Robbie!

last one preggy is a rotten egg...

I tweeted this last night, but I thought I'd put it up here too - we have the Riley-Kim half of the family now too! :)

i'd rather be fishing: on story progression (and a small ramble about world creation)...

On story progression:

"Rather Be Fishing"

Isn't there a t-shirt that says that or something? ;)
