Sireta's Blog Update

I've posted Part 6 to Sireta's Blog. I'm sure it has become very obvious that this is going to be sporadic at best when it comes to how often you see an update.

Frankly, IMHO, Sims 3 is boring. I actually found Sims 2 very boring before they started adding the expansion packs and stuff packs. I'm not very good at playing the game just to watch relationships develop, kids be born and the generations pass, and since I have yet to figure out a good way to play multiple families, I can't even see my Sims make friends among other families I've created and grow together through the generations.

I've said many times that by the time EA added Apartment Life and Mansions and Gardens, TS2 had actually become a near perfect game.

I had no interest, whatsoever, in TS1 until Making Magic came out. From that point, I was intrigued and very quickly hooked. That, of course, explains why I feel that Apartment Life was the icing on a dark chocolate cake. :)

Someday, TS3 may, hopefully, be as good, but for now, I'll continue to play when the mood strikes me, I'll keep you all updated on Sireta and Tris, but really, my TS2 stories and gameplay do come first.

I would suggest you check out these TS3 stories:

Another Addition to Sireta's Blog

Part 5 has been added. The picture above is not included in the update because I took it in the Riverview neighborhood not Sireta's. But I thought it was cool you could see the plane flying by and wanted to share it. Too bad Sims2 doesn't have similar because it would have been great in a scene for Out of Touch. :D

Thank you for reading.

Take care,

Sireta's Blog, Part 4

Despite the fact I should be working on finishing up a set for Sunday's update which I'm having nothing but one problem after another getting what I want, I decided to procrastinate one more day and get this up instead.

Procrastination is bad, must move forward...

New Sireta's Blog

The Start of Better Things was posted at Lachesis Presents. Yesterday. Sorry, I forgot to post it here. :p

After spending all day yesterday playing, I have to say, to some extent I'm hooked. There are a lot of things to do when you don't know anything. I'm sure over time, I'll become familiar with everything, but for now, I'm not bored. Because you have less time in a day to things, it takes longer to accomplish even simple goals to advance at work. The reason for having less time is simple, you can't go downtown, spend eight hours, and then come home and spend those same eight hours over again doing something else. Twenty-four hours is twenty-four hours and everything has to be accomplished during that time frame.

This is not to say I've abandoned my play neighborhood at Sims 2. I haven't, there's still way more to do in Sims 2, but for now, this is just one more Sims neighborhood to play, and I'm actually enjoying it. I wish the characters looked better, but they are what they are. If I want better looking characters, I'll go back to Sims 2. :D I also wish I could play it so all the graphic features were utilized. There's one setting that I can use, the game runs fine, and everything looks so much better, even the landscape, but it causes my fan to run all the time, and the sound of that drives me crazy, so I settle for less. :(

My 2-cents on Sims 3: If EA tries, eventually it'll be a good game, and, of course, the community will eventually be able to make it even better.

There're lots more pictures for Sireta's blog taken, lots more story scribbled down, so I'll be following her for some time to come.

Lachesis Presents - New Blog

Hey everyone, I've started a new blog, Lachesis Presents to tell the story of Sireta Aren who lives on the world of Dagon. But unlike our Sea of Moons characters, she lives on the continent of Tyr, which is to the east of Neith.

A while back, I mentioned a new project, this is it. My desire is to showcase Sims 3 in the way I know best - storytelling. This is not meant to be a review, for that there are many on the web, just look around. For those who are not sure about the game, or who just like to follow characters along on their journey, that's what this is.

This is Sireta Aren's blog, a daily, or not so daily depending on how it works out, account of starting out in a new home far from where she grew up.

It's a case where I play the game and tell the story, so I have no idea whatsoever what's going to happen. So, if you're interested in storytelling, the Sims 3 or both, follow along with Sireta and me as we check out what EA has given us.

I'm using no cc, no pose boxes, no preplanned story. I haven't turned off the plumbbob, headers or balloons. It's just what comes out of the box. I'm even using the in-game camera. :D

Take care,
Lachesis
