Hello, I'm Alleliua and this is my simming journal.
Here you'll find copious amounts of pic-spam, documentation of any challenges I happen to do, the occasional sim upload, and me rambling on about the Sims 2 in general. If you're looking for my old uploads, you can find them in my archive.
Add me and I'll add you back, but the only thing I friends-lock is me whining!

So nothing sim-related from me for a whole month now. And this is not, in fact, a simming-related post, so I expect things shall get worse before they get better, sadly. For those of you who don't know, I've just started my first year of full-time teaching, and I'm loving it to pieces - my year twos are utterly gorgeous, and the work is fun and involves lots of reading and games and bright colours. It is however time-consuming, so finding the time to settle down for a few hours and play the Sims has pretty much been out of the question.
Besides, I've been reading books.

Hey hey!


I've upped four sims over at the Treehouse, here, including Xavia there ^ what fun. So nice to get to play with all the new stuff I downloaded during December.
I'm planning on reading 50 books this year. We'll see how that goes. I've got an "intended" list that't thirty books long already, but could always use moar recommendations :D
As a little bonus, here's a set of geneticised and townified eyes for you. ZephyrAsh at the now-defunct DLMulsow's Sim-Antics repositioned and recoloured a few of Anva's eyes. You can see the eyes on my sims here, here, and here - there are eight shades in all. Zeph isn't around to ask for permission, as far as I know, but I doubt he'd have a problem with sharing. Just to be clear - I am not responsible for these eyes in the slightest. I clicked things in SimPE, that is all. Blue, Brown, Dark Grey, Golden Brown, and Hazel are dominant, Blue Green, Green, and Grey are recessive.

Have a marvellous 2010, you all :)

So 2009 is coming to an end. And I was thinking to myself as I trawled through the Borders online store, "Gee! I've bought a lot of books this year." The obvious thing to do was get all the books of 2009 off my shelves, stack them on the floor and document them through photograph. And then I thought, well, since I've had lovely talking with people on my f-list about books and reading this year, that I should stick the photos on LJ. So here they are. There's a (very, I realise) slim chance that someone may find this vaguely interesting, and anyway, it makes me happy. If slightly scared I'm going to be that little old woman they find dead two weeks after the fact buried under a pile of books in her hallway half eaten away by her eleven starving cats.

Look, if you guys haven't gone and raided the GoS Secret Santa show-off thread for goodies yet, DO EET NOW. RIGHT NOW. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. There's gorgeous things in there from needlecream and brilliantcat and a heap of others. I have grabbed SO MUCH STUFF :D

ecstatic
I'm on holidays! Woot! And because my life has been consumed by the steamroller that is vacation care over the last little bit, I'm spending the weekend furiously working on my gifts for the GoS secret santa. I'm hoping to throw enough stuff at them that they'll basically have to like something, because I'm still getting to know their style a bit :) Still, I'm happy with my progress and produce at this point. Since I happened to be in game taking screenshots, I thought I'd take a few minutes to give Lambert Hallows her own little photoshoot. (For those of you playing at home, Lambert is a spare from the Hallows Hallowe'en Legacy, born in engram's game.) I'm not sure why exactly, but I love this girl to itty bitty pieces. She's so unique and strangely appealing.

Well, I'm finally getting myself sorted out for the Hallows Legacy. Which has so far involved building and re-vamping in my beloved grungy neighborhood Golden, and then a very sad story about Golden. Having never lost a 'hood I actually cared about before, I moped around and did vacation care planning for a few days, and then I pulled up my socks and pulled out the stops and the result is a sort of Son of Golden, which I'm taken to calling Rock Hudson. So far I've been building community lots, and have installed one testing family to go visit them all. Next step is to install the massive pile of sims I've downloaded from my fellow participants, get them settled in as townies, and then finish a heap more community lots I've got planned. Then the heir's lot needs to be built. I'm going for "dark and unsettling" as a Hallowe'en influence...

Answer the question: What are the five best things you've ever downloaded for the Sims?
Rules:
- Make a list, in no particular order.
- Be specific. "Default skintones" is a bad answer. "Defaults" is a really bad answer.
- Links are love.
- More than five? That's why honourable mentions were invented.
1. Murano's Aloa Outdoor Set grass. My idea of landscaping is this plus a few trees.
2. Anva's Male Lashes. I love these on girls.
3. Astromeso's all-ages edit of Lunar Eclipse's mouth corners. Sims need these.
4. TheMysticalOne's preg morphs for Maxis outfits. Pregwearanything would hardly be worthwhile without it.
5. Pescado's clothing tool. Best. Thing. Ever.
Honourable Mentions: ACR, PregWearAnything, Rensim's and SimpleLife's facekits, stuff exctracted from Castaway Stories.

Just a little catchy-uppy sort of post:
I've uploaded Ivan and Penelope to the Treehouse, so go forth and nab them if you so desire :)
Project: watch all of Buffy with sister has progressed into season 6. We watched "Once More, With Feeling" last night and wow, I still know all the words! Love. We're actually going to watch it again tonight before moving on to the next episode.
I got my sekrit santa gosling person today! Yay. Shall not say too muchas the person I got may or may not be on my friends list but I've got awesome plans for something they'll like and that'll hopefully fit their game, so, relief :D

...instead I bring you a small pic spam. Two new sims - siblings, as they're both modelled from the same never-got-out-of-bodyshop base sim.

Hey all! It's the Promise Legacy all-babies all-the-time update spectacular! This one features less commentary than usual, because there are only so many times a girl can type "and here's some more toddler spam!!1" and besides, my commentary sucks at the best of times XD
Other news - that job interview I was blathering on about the other week? I got the job. Full-time teaching next year!

Three posts in three days, what is wrong with me?
Probably has something to do with avoiding thinking about the job interview I have tomorrow... aargh. Want it to be over, one way or another, so badly.
Heh, anyway, picspam of Ninja MacPherson - further experiments in sims with actual cheekbones instead of adorable square chipmunk faces. She'd been sitting around in BodyShop for a short while, waiting for that one thing that would make it all go "click" and then I'd know what I was doing with her, and then there was
freezetomorrow 's newest hair retexture et voila, she has a personality. Ninja is probably the last innocent-awkward-introvert girlie I can credibly stuff into Golden, the place is exploding at the seams with them.

Here's the sim I made for CPowell's Halloween Round Robin, The Hallows Legacy. She's been chosen by vote to be founder, which I'm pretty stoked about :D I've mailed her off to Engram, who is playing round one, but I figured I'd upload her here for anyone else who wants to nab her.

Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, CPowell is running a Halloween Round Robin Legacy over at Dreamwidth. We'd super-appreciate it if you would come and vote for a founder! One of them is mine, but of course I can't tell you which. I can promise a hard decision, as every single one of the prospective founders is a stunner!
Wow, am I productive this weekend or what? Made a new header for mah LJ, updated my rainbow legacy, submitted a founder for CPowell's Halloween Legacy, and my Dreamwidth now looks like someone owns it, plus I made a thing for you!
When crushthecamera pookleted a set of walls, they didn't just create a set of kickass walls (although they certainly did that,) they created a world full of shiny neon possibilities. Anything could be pookleted. Anything at all. Nail polish!
