I've been very careful creating it and that will hopefully stave off any hood-related issues. :)<br /><br />I'm happy Calvin and Aaron ended up with a boy now. It seems right somehow, with little Curtis joining their family.<br /><br />I was so pleased Kendal's priorities in this new hood are still exactly the same as in the old hood! She seems made to be a grandma. She would be thrilled if Josie got one of those last-minute baby wants but I'm not sure she will. Troy probably will, because he's Family, but in my game, baby wants seem very rare for non-Family sims. But who knows what will happen in this new hood? My sims with pets seem to be getting wants to get them jobs, which never ever happened in Sullivan 1.0. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-14832787057541261982013-02-04T22:40:56.080+11:002013-02-04T22:40:56.080+11:00I thought I'd read this post, but it turns out...I thought I'd read this post, but it turns out that I'd only begun it! In any case, I'm glad you were able to do enough recovery to make your recovery of the hood feasible, and that your Sims feel the same to you! How excited for Calvin and Aaron--I think little Curtis will be a sweet addition to their family. I had to laugh at Kendal's nagging for more grandchildren--and her constant worries over Chris. I do wonder if Josie might be the type to have a last-minute child want, just before she ages past the possibility. But perhaps not!

I have n...Don't even worry about it, Tanja. :)<br /><br />I have never actually played entirely without CC, including right now. At the very least, I need default skins and eyes. I'm more CC-lite right now, but with as much content as I had before, it's almost like having nothing at all! I didn't think I could do it either but starting from nothing, it's easier to stay organised. Livlukas's system is awesome too. <br /><br />I'm glad my sims are still recognisable without their CC hair and clothes! I tried to use hairstyles for them that were comparable to what they had in Sullivan 1.0, so it wouldn't be too much of a shock to the system...for you guys and for me!<br /><br />I'm pretty happy with Calvin and Aaron having a boy now too, Amy's objections aside! I'm not thrilled with the name I chose though, to be honest. It was just the first thing I thought of. But I'm getting used to it. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-85275677156200247702013-01-27T20:35:11.584+11:002013-01-27T20:35:11.584+11:00I'm so sorry it took me this long to finally p...I'm so sorry it took me this long to finally post a comment, but with changing jobs, and some other RL-stuff going on, I didn't feel like it most of the time, so I'm really sorry!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you're playing again, I've missed Sullivan! And I think it's amazing you can play without CC, I don't think I will ever be able to, especially since I have a ridicilous amount of CC (over 18GB!), nor will I ever be able to organize my downloads properly.<br />At first (years ago) I just popped them all in the 'downloads' folder, without seperating them, and I haven't gotten around to organize them. Now I just put them in seperate folders by month - I'm aware that that is the crapiest system ever!<br /><br />To the update then :) Troy and Josie still feel like Troy and Josie to me as well. I have to admit I was a little bit scared I wouldn't reconize your sims without the CC, but when you posted the first pictures on tumblr, I reconized them all :)<br />I was kind of hoping they would have another baby, but now that I think about it, it feels like their family is complete with their 2 boys, and they all seem happy.<br />I'm so glad that Calvin and Aaron have their 3rd child! And Even though Amy isn't too happy with a boy, I'm glad it's a boy :)Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-36537356196717594902013-01-17T10:24:45.303+11:002013-01-17T10:24:45.303+11:00Yes, at the moment, with about 200MB of downloads,...Yes, at the moment, with about 200MB of downloads, my game is loading in about a minute, lol! Ridiculous! I would rather have my CC though! ;) But I'm still having fun, so that's the main thing. <br /><br />Ha, I can just see Josie and Troy handing over the reins in the cooking department once Jude is old enough! They eat okay, no thanks to Josie, but Troy isn't particularly into cooking. <br /><br />I just had a look at my birthdays and am a bit disappointed actually - I have hardly any! There's Patrick and Andrew, plus Madelyn. There are a couple of graduations too. But Chloe and Zane's baby is due too, so that's exciting. :)<br /><br />I think Livlukas says at a couple of points in the tutorial that it's the kind of thing that's easier to do if you're starting over with your Downloads folder, like I am. Adding CC in as slowly as I am, it's pretty easy to use this system. And yep, I'm instituting a Pookleted hairs only rule too! I always wanted to but I needed a kick in the bum to actually do it. It means I'll need to find new hairstyles for a couple of my sims but I'm okay with that. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-29655749296295069382013-01-17T05:31:36.273+11:002013-01-17T05:31:36.273+11:00So glad you're back up and running again, even...So glad you're back up and running again, even if it's slightly vanilla :). They still look like your sims and so glad they still act like them, too. That's the most important thing. And I know your game must load super quick now, which is awesome. Having CC is more awesome, though.<br /><br />Jude is so cute with his little oven. Maybe Josie and Troy will have him cook for the family when he becomes a teen so they can have some decent meals lol. And seeing it's already November in your game (well, December now), we're so close to birthdays!! I can't wait to see how Andrew looks (and whoever else needs to age up!) I wonder if he looks a lot like Jude.<br /><br />Great first update back. Congrats to Aaron and Calvin on their newest addition (and congrats to you on getting that issue fixed). I can't wait to see how they are with a baby in their update.<br /><br />Oh, I checked out that tutorial and it was very interesting. Thanks for the link! I think I might do that for some things, but probably not my whole downloads folder. I started a fresh female hair folder and redownloaded only the Pookleted hairs I really wanted and I love it! I had a few duplicate retextures by different creators and doing this way made it so easy to delete the one I didn't want. I really can't image doing this for something like clothing, though (so many female clothes ugh!!)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-902644987213834102013-01-15T14:17:57.389+11:002013-01-15T14:17:57.389+11:00Thanks Apples!

It just seems to go the farthest towards making my sims my sims, if that makes any sense!<br /><br />Troy definitely could reroll a baby want but I don't always follow my sims' wants, especially with babies. In Troy's case, I think even if he starts wanting another kid, he's going to have to work through that want in another way because I cannot see Josie ever agreeing to try again. Probably the only way they'd have a third is a risky woohoo pregnancy. But seeing I don't have ACR back in yet and Josie's fertility would be declining anyway, I don't think there's much of a chance of that happening! But you never know!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-81717087134861179162013-01-15T11:40:57.222+11:002013-01-15T11:40:57.222+11:00It's apples252, btw.It's apples252, btw.apples252https://www.blogger.com/profile/05724795971251345715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-72978908928621837062013-01-15T11:39:56.729+11:002013-01-15T11:39:56.729+11:00I'm playing catch-up tonight, but it's gre...I'm playing catch-up tonight, but it's great to see new updates.Even with limited cc, your game still is very appealing and your sims look pretty the same to me, minus the hair.I wonder if Troy will re-roll another baby want.I'm sure he wants to appease Josie, but do you think it's possible for him to actually want another baby later?apples252https://www.blogger.com/profile/05724795971251345715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-57269410785201298842013-01-10T14:37:49.594+11:002013-01-10T14:37:49.594+11:00Thanks Caitria.

I only briefly considered throwing ...Aw, thank you. I only briefly considered throwing in the towel with Sullivan - it was literally a couple of minutes. But I figured, it worked once on this computer and I could make it work again. Rebuilding is a huge job but it's also going to let me get rid of some custom content I never really used or needed, as well as allowing me to fix some little annoyances that I probably would have just lived with in Sullivan 1.0. So it's not all bad. <br /><br />I think it was pretty telling that Josie 2.0 doesn't want more babies any more than Josie 1.0, lol! I do believe that woman is 100% done! Troy knows he has no chance of convincing her, so he pretty much has to agree. At least on the outside, anyway!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-1146687368553891612013-01-06T23:45:14.287+11:002013-01-06T23:45:14.287+11:00So glad you're back, I've missed Sullivan!...So glad you're back, I've missed Sullivan! :) I didn't notice the lack of CC either, honestly.

I added some things in yesterday - some Bruno make-up - because I was making Claudia and Megan and they're so pale that they really need a tiny bit of make-up! I haven't loaded the game with that stuff in yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.<br /><br />Kendal kind of wanted a litter herself but her life circumstances only let her have three. By the time she remarried, her fertile years were declining and she was lucky to have Chris. All of his older siblings are finished (I don't see Rose or Patience having any more either), so in Kendal's view, it's his turn!<br /><br />Poor Josie. Yes, she's totally done now. Even if they'd had another angel like Jude, she doesn't want to take any more time out of her career. That's a big deal for a woman like her.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88399928196653679812013-01-05T08:18:53.043+11:002013-01-05T08:18:53.043+11:00Hooray for Sullivan being back!
Random long story...Hooray for Sullivan being back!<br /><br />Random long story: I have two siblings who were adopted, a sister who is 6 and a brother who is 1. My sister, of course, adamantly wanted a girl baby. However, a few months after our brother came home, she announced, "I love my baby brother! I didn't want a baby sister after all, Matthew is way more cuter!"<br /><br />That has nothing to do with your Sims, but Amy's wish for a baby sister reminded me of that.The Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559244806125834569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-69558444384968397342013-01-04T12:47:29.339+11:002013-01-04T12:47:29.339+11:00OMG, Carla!

I'm so glad you thwarted the nasty evils of CC and Sullivan is back up and running (even if it's a 'new coat of paint', so to speak.) Hopefully the crazy organization prevents this from happening again. :(<br /><br />I remember them! I laughed so hard at them all being done with kids. Kendal probably wants them to have litters. At least the pressure is on Chris now!<br /><br />Josie's facial expressions in some of those pictures was too much.

Both the boys are adorable even if Andrew can be a bit of a pain sometimes... I'm so happy about Aaron and Calvin's baby- we were really left in suspense there. LOL.

And Amy and Natalie's hairstyles happened to have fairly close matches among the EA styles, so that was good. <br /><br />I think Kendal will be waiting a while, though I'm sure Chris will have kids eventually. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-9787850135423104632013-01-03T08:53:53.989+11:002013-01-03T08:53:53.989+11:00Long may it continue, right?
