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!

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.

* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

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!

Why it is a further installment of the Promise Legacy! Just a shortie this time - rounding out the orange gen's time in the sun, and revealing the red gen heir - although if you've been paying attention you probably already know who that is :D I'm leaning towards shorter more freqent updates in future, three months is just too long. Anywhoo, here we go...

I'm flying away to a business meeting in Adelaide shortly. I am nonplussed by the fact that I seem to be a person who flies off on day trips to business meetings. Anyway, I got tagged for this meme by
6akalaka1 and figured if I left it 'til I got back, there'd be no one left to tag...
I tag
brooke_82 and
aeliaa , if they feel like doing it :D

Hey there dudettes and possible dudes, I shared a sim at GoS. How random of me. You can check it out if you so desire :)

Why it is a Rainbow Legacy update! This is shaping up to be a fairly quiet gen, one more short update should finish us up - and then on to the red heir and purple babies! Also, have an obligatory apology for the distance between updates. I *did* get this one up faster than I got the last one, but sadly two-and-a-half months isn't all that much less than three months in the scheme of things... sigh. Anyway, it's here now, with kidlets-growing-up type goodness and a mini spares update starring orange-gen firstborn, Vitality.

In lieu of a simming update (coming really really soon! Work has been beyond crazy this week, everyone's getting sicker and sicker) here's a meme stolen from
zombiehale and
xxevermore, because I'm a pop culture junkie and loving it :D
Rules:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.
