New blog!

No, I'm not abandoning Sullivan (Dominic and Leslie's update is in the pipeline!) but I have started a new side blog, which might be of interest to some of you.

It's called Strike a Sim Pose and it is intended as a posebox catalog and hopefully, general posing resource. It's a very old project I started a good while ago but I never really figured out exactly how I wanted it to look or function. Finally, I do.

There are a couple of posebox catalogs out there but the I'm not sure if they're still active at all. Also, I've always preferred for my posebox pics to be totally uniform and as simple as possible, so I started taking my own. Seeing I was already doing it, I thought why not share?

Most posts will feature a pose box and pictures of each of the poses it contains. There are explanatory notes about various OMSPs and the stretchskeleton cheat, if necessary. I also plan to put up my posing tutorial from here, along with a couple of other posts on posing tips and tricks.

So if this seems like something you might be interested in, go and check it out! I'm not expecting the posing blog to be quite as interactive as here but if you do have any comments or questions, feel free to post them. I'm always happy to answer when I get the chance. Happy posing!

This is my second year as principal of the local high school. I was happy enough at the primary school but I’ve always wanted to advance. So when the opportunity came up, I had to take it.

Not long after graduation, I got a job working as a blogger for the online version of the same publication as my mum works at. I’d rather work somewhere different but there’s not a lot of choice around here.

Lot tour: Justin and Louisa's house

I finished decorating this place ages ago and sort of sat on this tour, saving it for a rainy day when I couldn't get a story update out. That rainy day has come (in game too, lol!). I'm dogsitting a 3-year-old beagle right now and she's so much more work than my elderly fluffy white things! I haven't had much time at all to play. 

So instead, here's a lot tour!


No idea where I downloaded this house. When I moved Justin and Louisa in, it had been sitting in my hood for ages. I changed the walls and the front door. The front door was previously the door that matches the windows, but I find those doors really hard to work with. They never seem to match well with anything on the inside of the house. 

Note to self: fix the upper part of that wall!


Layout, which I don't think I changed.
