She's a city girl.<br /><br />Ha, I hope I'm not talking up these posters too much! I think they're cute so far but they're nothing special. But I'm excited about the idea of doing other sorts of posters with my other Sims. <br /><br />Ha, do I? The post-graduate thing is pretty new to me. Let's see how I go six months down the track! As for the graduates, officially, you don't know anyone. None of them got serious enough with my Sims to be moved in as playable NPCS, so I'm just going to make them over and change their names. Unofficially, I can tell you that the girl shaking hands with Hanna is one of Amar's many, many conquests and the guy below is Trace, the guy Claudia slept with when she was still with Amar. <br /><br />I love roomie posts too. I don't think I'd play my hood without a few roomie households, now that I've had a taste. I think these girls have become pretty good friends, so it <i>will</i> be sad to see them all move on.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-71040698898697127432010-07-14T21:19:32.181+10:002010-07-14T21:19:32.181+10:00Oh, but I like silos, lol!

Isn't that just a fun little detail to add? :)<br /><br />Congrats to Rob! Do we know any of those other graduates there? Or were they just extras? You always pay such good attention to your post-graduate Sims. I always forget about mine, lol! <br /><br />I love roomie posts! Even if they're not the best candidates to live together, I'll still be a little sad to see them move on some day.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990333808465359314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-33169080137966874122010-07-13T08:59:22.752+10:002010-07-13T08:59:22.752+10:00Sorry for the delay in replying everyone!
Maisie,...Sorry for the delay in replying everyone!<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, ha, no, I'm not a silo girl either! Patience is feeling a bit suffocated living out in the sticks! She's one I definitely see moving to Exeter.<br /><br />You know what? I never made a userstartup.cheat either but I had one! It was in the Config folder and I <i>know</i> I've never put anything in there, so I don't know where it came from. But removing it fixed my problem, so thank you! I'd already tried the game with no downloads, so I was at a bit of a loss!<br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, thanks! It's fixed now but checking to see if the game was really running in debug mode was the first thing I tried. I'd even originally run a search for the userstartup but because I was searching for it in the Program Files folder, nothing came up. <br /><br />To change townie clothes, I use either the red alarm thing from DMA Sims (http://www.valdea.com - it comes in the Woohoo set) or Christianlov's clothing rack at MTS. The alarm lets you change their everyday clothes and is very fast (it changes them to their new clothes instantly). The rack is much slower but it has the advantage of allowing you to change ALL their clothes, not just everyday.<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, yeah, Claudia, Josie and Patience are doing okay, considering they got off to a shaky start, at least between Patience and Claudia. <br /><br />Poor Troy! I actually have him job search every time I have him over as a visitor at someone else's house! He's bored with taxi driving, the poor guy.<br /><br /><b>Riverdale</b>, hmmm, I hadn't thought about it but yeah, I could share them once I've finished them. I've taken a few pictures already but there are some I'd like to re-do. <br /><br />I know, it was so tempting to buy a few things for them! But they're not THAT rich and the money isn't going to seem like a lot at all once they start going their separate ways. <br /><br /><b>Danielle</b>, I'm excited for Josie to finish too. She'll be an intern next year and will be finished by the next time we visit her. But she's probably going to appear when Lia gives birth, in some capacity.<br /><br />It was fun to do Patience's photo shoot, which is a good thing because I have to go back and do some of it again! I think I might have Matilda do some too. She wants to be an actress as well, so it's something I can see her doing for extra cash. <br /><br />I guarantee you it'll take about two seconds for you to acclimate yourself with Photo Studio again! It's so easy!<br /><br /><b>Shana</b>, LOL, yes, I'd do it too!<br /><br />Claudia's not the type to hold a grudge, especially seeing Patience genuinely feels bad about the whole thing. The way she acted in high school college wasn't really "her" and Claudia can relate to that.<br /><br />I tend to go through my downloads as I play and my next task is to delete all the human photos! I don't mind English text but human photos look very out of place.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-90169650733099835322010-07-13T00:21:16.356+10:002010-07-13T00:21:16.356+10:00Ha, I love how they kept coming into the room to l...Ha, I love how they kept coming into the room to listen in on Patience's interview. I'd probably do the same thing. ;)<br /><br />I'm glad that Claudia and Patience are getting along and they're not hung up on old history. Everyone seems to be really happy with their current relationships, so it's good that they've put everything behind them.<br /><br />I love the idea of Patience modeling for bridal shots! I know what you mean about the human pictures looking out of place in the lots. When I cleaned up my downloads a couple weeks ago, I got rid of all the human pictures and posters I had because I thought that same thing and so I didn't like using them.Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-58544363701172830562010-07-12T13:57:25.754+10:002010-07-12T13:57:25.754+10:00It's nice to see that Patience and Claudia are...It's nice to see that Patience and Claudia are getting along now with no worries about Jacob. I can't wait to see Dr. Josie Benton (or Dr. Josie Clarke) be able to put all her studies to good use :). I hope Troy can get into the gaming industry soon. He seems like such a slacker compared to Miss Workaholic.<br /><br />That's a good idea to have Patience model for the different shops you have in town. That should look really cool. I need to become acclimated with making the paintings with SimPe again so I could do something like that in the future. I know it was pretty simple to do because I made a ton of paintings for a website a few years ago but it’s been about that long since I’ve even looked at the program. Can’t wait to see her photo shoots in the future!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88302132260837014162010-07-12T02:52:31.629+10:002010-07-12T02:52:31.629+10:00Are you going to share those bridal pics?

All with their own life, and still trying to make some time for eachother.<br />Rob's graduation looks so nice, it's good Patience went even though he said she didn't have to.<br />I hope Troy finds a job really soon!

The allmenus cheat worked fine for me but the simDNA didn't until I checked my userstartup.cheat again. I hope you get it to work.<br /><br />I've been meaning to ask, how do you change all the townies' clothing (ie. for Rob's graduation party). I have to move them in somewhere before I can change their clothes, I was just wondering if there was an easier way.Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-79491599458964050922010-07-11T14:38:15.909+10:002010-07-11T14:38:15.909+10:00Glad to see everyone is friendly with one another,...Glad to see everyone is friendly with one another, but not *too* friendly, and Patience sure has matured. I totally don't see her enjoying silo living, love the picture of her looking out the window. It wouldn't excite me ether. <br /><br />I really like Rob, such a good looking sim. My oh my do your sims pick the cute ones. ;P <br /><br />As for the simdna, man that blows. What fixed mine was Sari's suggestion to check my userstartup.cheat file (I believe that's the name), and I happened to have one. I have *no* recollection of ever making one... so I'm not sure how I did that, but that solved my issue. Maybe something similar is counteracting. <br /><br />Could always go and move half your downloads to your desktop, load the game and see if it's fixed, narrow it down. I hope you can fix it, I know how much you enjoy that aspect of the game, and it'd be a bummer to not have that for future generations.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-35439409879742954512010-07-11T09:01:43.746+10:002010-07-11T09:01:43.746+10:00Lunar, I think Billy has a Sim in his hood who app...<b>Lunar</b>, I think Billy has a Sim in his hood who appears on in-hood advertising, come to think of it! But I do remember thinking it sounded like fun. I find most of my Sims are quite attractive but Patience is one of the ones I think of as very traditionally attractive, plus her acting career hasn't quite taken off yet, so modelling is something she would be likely to do for extra cash.<br /><br />It is fun for me to set up these kinds of scenes. More interesting for you guys to read than me just talking about it too!<br /><br /><b>lepifera</b>, no, you can't throw a grad party for more than one Sim at a time (which is LAME but I digress). Rob is actually an adult, so he doesn't have that option anyway. I downloaded caps and gowns from TSR and I used those to dress Rob and several dormies for the occasion. It's the same way I do my regular grads, actually.<br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, Rob and Patience are quite keen on each other, so I think he'll be around a while. <br /><br />The lot I had the grad ceremony on was downloaded from TSR as is. All I did was delete all the fountains in a vain attempt to reduce the lag and change the colour of the wall on stage. <br /><br />Claudia and Josie just had to get all in Patience's business! If Josie was in Patience's position, I imagined she probably would have bitten their heads off but Patience is much more good-natured than Josie!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-86803914699665294622010-07-10T16:48:34.749+10:002010-07-10T16:48:34.749+10:00I'm hoping that Rob stays in the picture.

Josie and Claudia have always been good friends but I'd never pictured them living together and especially not with Patience in tow. But it's all worked out nicely and they're fun to play together.<br /><br />Yeah, that's something sisters would do too. This sister, anyway! LOL.<br /><br /><b>Tessa</b>, lol, I saw in my stats that someone was reading from a hotel and wondered if that was you!<br /><br />I prepared way too many grads for that ceremony, considering how many you actually saw! But it was fun. Now I have to redress them all, lol.<br /><br />Claudia and Jacob are so much more settled now than they were a few years ago. Claudia lost her marriage and baby want though, due to that stupid vacation glitch that makes them lose their locks (she still had her vacation benefits from when she went away with Jacob during his update). Annoying. Oh well...I'm not ready for her to get started with that just yet anyway.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-37950830017822320092010-07-10T12:34:12.253+10:002010-07-10T12:34:12.253+10:00Thank the lord for hotel wifi!
