It finally happened, after a 6 years break (my longest, I admit it) I restarted the game for the first time and with my huge surprise I managed to move my contents from my very old and dying pc, to the one that I suppose to use for work. And I'm not even a little bit ashamed.

I might decide, kids, husband, work, sleeping time permitting, to create some new contents, to be true I was sure the blog disappeared in the last 6 years, so I'll take it as a sign.

Obviously the first thing I've done since installing the game and dealing with 37468 compatibility issues, was to test if my Alariel is still pretty as I remember her. She definitely is.

Hopefully my next post will be in less than 6 years. At least I'll try.

One more thing before we start the final face off I will be the one to watch you fall I'm coming up on infra-red, There is no running that can hide you 'cause I can see in the dark...

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

As many of you probably know by now, The Sims 2 is my main game, the one I use to create my stories and where my favourite characters are born. Some months ago I’ve finally installed The Sims 4, in the beginning I was hating it because I couldn’t replicate my sims as they supposed to be. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I’m finally starting to enjoy it. The new expansion pack looks amazing, who doesn’t love mermaids? 🧜‍♀️

Fear no more the midnight Fear no more the sea Close your eyes, regret nothing You're safe with me Look into the shadows Step into the mist Search your land but doubt never I still exist

Ophelia was born in game about 9 years ago and she was so perfect I couldn’t believe it. Since then I moved several times and I changed a number of PC and laptops. Long story short, I lost her Sims2Pack not once but twice, and this is the third version of Ophelia, made at the best of my abilities to resemble as much as possible the original file. Unfortunately this version of Ophelia seems to have lost the “innocence” of her first version, but I guess this is how life works. Still love her tho

Hush It's okay Dry your eyes Soulmate dry your eyes Dry your eyes Soulmate dry your eyes 'Cause soulmates never die

And the sky was made of amethyst And all the stars were just like little fish You should learn when to go You should learn how to say no And the sky was all violet I want to give the violent more violets And I'm the one with no soul One above and one below

♪♫If I could tear you from the ceiling I'd freeze us both in time And find a brand new way of seeing Your eyes forever glued to mine. ♫♪

Leave me dreaming on the bed See you right back here tomorrow For the next round.Keep this scene inside your head As the bruises turn to yellow The swelling goes down.

And if you're ever around In the city or the suburbs Of this town Be sure to come around I'll be wallowing in sorrow Wearing a frown Like Pierrot the clown.

When I dream , I dream your lips When I dream , I dream your kiss When I dream , I dream your fists Your fists, your fists.

I am doll eyes, doll mouth, doll legs I am doll arms, big veins, dog bait... I am doll parts, bad skin, doll heart It stands for knife For the rest of my life...

I fake it so real, I am beyond fake And someday, you will ache like I ache

Just put a bunch of CC together trying to get the best out of the Sims 4.

Still looks weird. Still don’t like it.

Love on an atom, love on a cloud, to see the birth of all that isn't now

Can you imagine a love that is so proud? It never has to question why or how

Total abandon the love in my dreams When I wake up I'm soaking in my sheets

Breathe... Breathe...

Believe, believe, believe, believe

For all of our youth...  We have craved them...

Their beauty and their truth... So we name them...

And somehow they pull us through We have craved them For all of our youth

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe

Believe, Believe, believe, believe

We are loud like love

(Pics for a Valentines contest...)

This is how I usually take and edit my The Sims 2 shots. It is a very basic tutorial that can followed by anyone even without any specific competence (that I don’t have), but still improves pictures quite a lot. Let me know what you think.

[blaenil]

Just a picture of a couple of sims created in 2008 by me (him) and a friend of mine. everything started with a GDR online that lasted about 3/4 months and ended with the greatest group of friends I’ve ever had in my life. I like to think that somehow most of the sims I created the following years are somehow connected with this couple, and going back through all the stories we create, it is somehow true.

And that’s why, after more than 10 years, I’m still here playing the sims 2 like if it’s still 2008 <3

Yes, I made the #tenyearschallenge too but using one of my old (but not one of the oldest, I started in 2007) sims2 pictures... I made the one from 2009 exactly ten years ago and uploaded on koin up the 2nd february 2009... I loved and I love it but she needed a bit of work... She’s the same sim, Sofia, Just with some new CC and with a lot of Photoshop tricks I learned in the last 10 years. Hope you like it :)

Three years are gone.... still miss you...
