I'm alive!

 Merry Christmas everyone!

I thought I'd throw up a quick post today to let you know I'm still here. A friend directed me to a post on Reddit where someone was recommending my blog and they'd added the disclaimer "as far as I know, it's not abandoned".

So that made me think "oops! it probably does look abandoned at this point!". So anyway, Sullivan is not abandoned! I was busy and stressed for a long time and couldn't get up the motivation to play and write an update. And then when I did, the game would crash. When the game crashes for me, I tend to avoid it for a while, because it makes me so frustrated and I don't want to be frustrated again!

I am off work for six weeks now and I really, really hope that I can get out a couple of updates in that time. I won't promise but it's my hope.

And thank you to that Redditor for recommending my blog, if you're reading. I occasionally see nice comments about Sullivan on Reddit and they always make me smile. Reddit can be a bit of a cesspool but r/sims2 is an absolute gem!

Lot tour: Single Storey Remodel Challenge

So this lot tour is a little different from the vast majority of my other lot tours, because no one is living here yet! I did it for a challenge and it's still sitting empty in my hood. I have vague designs of moving one of my playable NPC couples in here...but I also really like it and maybe want my playables to live here? Except it's probably too expensive for any of the ones who will need to move soon!

Shall I stop rambling now so we can start?

The house was built by one of the members in my Sims 2 group on FB and the challenge was simply to decorate it, the only real rule being that we could not change any of the exterior walls.
