Welcome back. Adrostos has returned to Mist Hollow to make sure Electra pays for her crimes.

 For those of you in the US, happy 4th of July!

So, Who Did Kill Jocosta?

Hang on a second while I get this thought down. Yes, that should work nicely.

EA Created Mist Hollow!

I've really enjoyed using TS3 to finish Guardian's Key. Yeah, I know, the characters' features aren't as well developed, and honestly, I agree with anyone who thinks Kerrin lost some of his cute. But seriously, working with it has stirred my creative ideas around enough that I have some new short ideas brewing. I've continued to tweak with the features of the characters that will probably be around for a while in hopes of making the differences a little less noticeable. And yay for any new character that can just be cool on his or her own. ;)

Even with the excitement of a new ideas, the thought of recreating Mist Hollow, Sea of Moons, and the surrounding islands was very daunting. A project I wasn't particularly looking forward to. Then EA announced Dragon Valley, a new world from The Sims 3 Store, and I was thrilled with the idea. The reality has been wonderful. The very ideas I'd used to create Dagon - the mixture of medieval and modern, magique and technology - are alive in Dragon Valley.

Best Laid Plans...

Two more updates and Guardian's Key will be officially ended, only the Epilogue will be left to tie things up nicely. It's been an incredibly long ride - my fault I'm afraid. Hopefully, the end result will at least be satisfying if not exactly what everyone expects.

Guardian's Key Update - The Casque

With today's update, we're getting closer to the end. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get this far. The break was inexcusable. Only recently have I realized my biggest problem was that with tons of pieces of custom content and hundreds upon hundreds of poses available (even with my posebox catalog at my fingertips) I was finding storytelling to be more and more tedious every time I sat down to do it. Now I've discovered that keeping Sims 3 simple as possible, my enjoyment of the medium has returned and my hobby is a hobby once more.

Our Gang's Final Night in Kumara

 Hey All, welcome back. This update is the last restful night our gang of adventurers will have for a while.

This Week's GK Update

Hi! Welcome to this week's update. Kumara, what a dismal sad place stuck out in the middle of the some of the harshest terrain on Neith.

Back with More Guardian's Key

Hey all, I'm back with more Sea of Moons and Guardian Key. Zeus wanted to help me this week. He can be pretty sweet when he's not acting like the god he thinks he is.

Just so you know, I promise not to disappear again. The picture taking is coming along great - got most of the updates taken. What's taking the most time and what I'm not going to rush is editing the story. Not only do I want to give you the best pictures I can take, but I want you to have the best story I can write. I've always believed it's the story people come here for, and it's very important to me. The rough draft I put up before was full of problems. Typos, threads not fully developed, past events forgotten. Typical rough draft stuff.

So, please bear with me as I update only once a week. I'll do my best to make the wait worth it.

Yes, you're a sweet cheeks.

I've been playing TS3 for a very long time, and I'd love to share some of that, so I hope you'll read on for some screenshots I've taken from the game.

Guardian's Key - Illustrated Ending Begins

Hi!

Yup, I'm finally back to finish Guardian's Key using my Sims. I'd had every intention of doing this very thing in December, but the best laid plans will get trashed every time when ice gets in the way. Slipping on ice while cleaning off my car before Christmas gave me the gift of an external fixator, instead of a cast, to set my broken left wrist. If you don't know what that is, Google it. I'll save you the explanation. Suffice it to say, my arm made grown men cringe. :)

Anyhoo, I'm going to let Lessa and Kerrin tell you about the changes you can expect with Sea of Moons from now on. I hope they don't turn anyone off, but, frankly, there are things about TS3 I prefer over TS2 aaaannnd I really wanted to see what can be accomplished with a vanilla TS3. That, folks, means Lachesis of the posebox catalog thingy isn't using poseboxes. Makes things so much more interesting. (Lachesis)
