What’s up?

I thought I’d share an update on what I’ve been up to/where I’m at now that the Langston Legacy is over.

Tbh I’ve felt a bit lost without the drive to forge forward with a Legacy! I miss just playing the game for the sake of playing. I haven’t bought Life and Death yet but have considered it just for a reason to play the damn game.

But to cope with the end of something so big, I’ve thrown myself into new projects - both sims and non-sims.

In dot point form, here is what I got going on:

I got a new PC! My partner surprised me with a proper gaming PC for Christmas and it is beautiful. Incredible speeds and quality, and I can’t believe how much my poor laptop was suffering by comparison - honestly it was off putting to play on because of the load times and lag.

Since getting new PC, I have finally started work on my long-planned project of an Australian decades challenge. I’ve built the world, all the lots, and created the population and main family. I might share some images soon because I’m super proud of how they’ve turned out. I’ve already got the prologue mapped out and have been working on shooting! But still tweaking how I want to story-tell this new Legacy and how I want the format of it to work between imagery and dialogue. Bit of a WIP still.

I’ve created my own custom ReShade preset just for my new Legacy. It was a labour of love but I really learnt a lot. I wanted something that really looks like the setting of my Legacy, southern rural Australia in all its barren, dusty, ochre glory.

In saying all that, if they re-release the Sims 1 or 2 as part of the 25yr anniversary I’ll be yeeting myself into the void to play those for a while and pretend I’m a kid again.

Outside of sims, I’m working on finding new outlets for creativity in my own personal life and seeing where that takes me. I’ve come to realise that creativity is necessary for my sanity, and I have so many ideas I want to work on but instead I’m stuck in the rat race of life working a full time job that I don’t like. I’m going into this year with the mentality that it’s time to be brave and take some big steps to live the life I want to live, one that allows me to be creative on a daily basis and spend more wholesome time with the people I love.

And to top it all off, I’m also baking another real life nooboo 🐣 just one this time, not two!

Anyway what was the point of this dump? Just to let you all know where I’m at, what you can expect from me, my desire to stay here in simblr and still be a part of this community.

If you’re new around here, please feel send me a message and I’ll check out your stuff - I feel very out of the loop these days with fellow simmers and a bit lost at sea, but I’m still very much a historical simmer at heart who loves the cosy vibes of creating historical drama with friends ❤️

It’s jumping ahead of my queue quite a bit, but after 3 days of trying and looking for a house, I finally built one I can be pleased with! I’m not a builder by any means and tend to build around my gameplay which is probably why it turned out bigger than I intended.... 

It’s still a WIP but I want it to be a WIP as they grow as a family in it. And, yes, they have a second nooboo. If my sanity permits, they will eventually have a third one too. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
