Guardian's Key Upate (So Much Later Than I Intended)

OMG, I never meant to be away this long, and frankly, I'm can't even begin to say what the next few months are going to hold. Hopefully, I'm going to get my shit together soon.

When I started this more than two years ago, Sea of Moons was the only story I'd intended to do, then I came up with Out of Touch, Out of Time, but at least I finished that. I should have quit while I was ahead, but noooo, I decided I wanted to do a vampire story and a Steampunk story. I had so much more of whatever I needed to do this a year ago.

I still love all my stories, and want so badly to finish them, and I will, but I just can't stick to a schedule at this time.

So, I'm offering breadcrumbs when I can, and here's today's:

Guardian's Key, Part 6.

I should mention, that with this update, I start completing Kerrin and Lessa's story. From this point forward, I will be tying up any loose ends left behind from A Vampire's Tale. Or, just answering any questions that started there and have wound their way through what I'd like to call the trilogy of Kerrin and Lessa's story.

Not to worry, we'll still be following Telaan and gang around to solve Adrostos' little problem of the casque that the Guardian's Key will open.

Thank you all for hanging around.

Take care,

Lachesis Presents Update

Okay, I feel bad disappearing. I know, tossing out TS3 pictures is not the same as continuing Wake the Dead and Guardian's Key, but, hey, at least you know I'm not dead.

Yes, the picture above is from Late Night which I got last Tuesday, but the two updates, The Ward Family Parts 1 and 2 don't have anything to do with Late Night, I'll be posting that later on.

One thing I do have to say about Late Night is that the guys at EA had to not only have come up with the breast slider, but they also created all the women. I've had "Silicone sister, with the manager mister," stuck in my head for a week.

Also, Drew, got a picture at the Presents update just for ya. ;)

I do have plans to get a GK out soon, but I have to go into the game and build a set, so you know how that can be.

Sorry, I don't have more in the storytelling line, but I haven't forgotten, I haven't given up, and I will be back with stories.

Take care,
Lachesis

Good News/Bad News

As some people know, I write romances in hopes of becoming published. Recently, one of my paranormal manuscripts captured the attention of a romance publishing house and they are interested in seeing more of it. What, if anything, comes of that interest, at this point I have no idea. However, the line I'm targeting it for requires 77,000 words and I have less than 16,000 written.

So, that's the good news. The bad news? I'm going to have even less time for the Sims. I'm going to do my very best to get a new schedule figured out so I can still post Sims stories, get some work done on the catalog, and write. Most likely what's going to suffer the most is my play time.

I had had great hopes of getting Guardian's Key out this weekend, but first I have to get a schedule worked out. Hopefully, Sea of Moons will be back before long, and Wake the Dead following not too far behind.

As always, thank you everyone for reading and now bearing with me.

Take care,
Lachesis

TS3 Activity at Lachesis Presents

Since I've been playing TS3 fairly regularly lately, I found a bunch of pictures in my screenshot folder that I take when something funny happens or just whatever takes my fancy. So I've started adding them in an organized (more or less) fashion to my Lachesis Presents site.

I'm also adding Sims and whatever else I may feel like as downloads. There are three Sims there at present, Leta, Mack and Kiku.

Anyway, if you're interested in The Sims 3, or just want to see some of what's available with the game and its expansions, World Adventures and Ambitions, you might want to check it out. It's pretty simple and quick to look at. I'm not telling stories per se, but the pictures do follow along the lives of the Sims I'm playing. I have four families in Sunset Valley I rotate through. I have it set up so that I play a household for 14 days, it was 7 but that wasn't long enough; for three of those days, story progression and aging are turned on. I'm hoping this will allow the world to move on without too much insanity, but at the same time allow me to have more than one family in the neighborhood.

I play with a custom skin default and custom eye default. That's all the custom content I use, except for a pair of jeans I got from Club Crimsyn. I do not hack this game, which means, I have to have to find ways around the bugs.

The two annoying bugs I've found are:

1. After playing tag or anything that causes autonomous running the Sim won't walk again, they only run. To fix this, I evict the entire family with house to the clipboard. I bulldoze the house left on the lot, then stick family and house back on the empty lot it came from.

2. When you change the active household, don't leave any garden produce, caught fish or leftovers in the refrigerator, it won't be there when you go back to the household. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping that putting it in my gardener's personal inventory will work since I don't lose the personal inventory any more.

Take care,

A Tiny Break

I give. I've been having trouble getting things done, so I'm taking a break. Not a big one, just a couple of weeks. I'll be back in September. Hopefully with bells on and stories to tell. :)

Or finish, as the case may be.

Thank you everyone for reading and bearing with my recent sporadic posts, it's very much appreciated.

Take care,
Lachesis

(Yes, that's my self-Sim. I tried to do one in TS2 and never could. It's so nice to know I have a TS3 face. ;D)
