I did warn you... when I first started this blog that I had no idea if I would be able to keep up with it. I started home schooling my 7th grade daughter this past fall and it has consumed much of my life, that and trying my hand at writing a novel. I do post here and there on the forum- the sims 4 forum- since the TS3 forums have all but died. Honestly the forums in general seem dead to me. They did change that god-awful green, to where you can choose white instead, that helps with the headaches a bit.
I did buy TS4 and it is hit and miss for me. I've built a lot, but since there are so little customization options in the game, it has just become boring to me. Yea the roofing tool is amazing, but I hate that I can't recolor anything to my liking. I hate the plasticiness of everything. I am sure some of you remember me complaining about the specular layer that was on some of the clothes/ furniture in TS3...I just don't like shiny, unless it is supposed to be, like plether. I am not all that fond of the gameplay either. It is too "circular" same reactions, same emotions... not at all as charming as TS2 gameplay was. It's really sad to say that I play to build, playing just doesn't hold interest for me in either TS3 or TS4 and of course building has become boring in 4 so... where does that leave me? Building for myself or my daughter in TS3 and Playing Morrowind!
I've never played a single game like The Elder Scroll Series before, and I really want Skyrim. My husband says if I would play through his copies of Morrowind and Oblivion he will buy me Skyrim... so that is what I have been doing in the evenings after everything and everyone has wound down. And to be honest... it is fun! I enjoy playing my character and going on the little quests! I am almost towards the end of the main quest and have completed all of one of my faction quests (I have 4 factions, so... well I still have a ways to go!) I even have a mod in place so that I can have my own house, because there was just no more room for all my goodies at the Mages' Guild. My husband has been helping me with obtaining things like "boots of blinding speed"...which is hilarious, because when you put them on everything goes dark, take them off cast a resist magica spell, put them back on and you can see AND go fast! I also can levitate everywhere which is making transversing that world a lot faster! He told me he could get me a mod to get rid of the flying dragon thingies, but I declined, because killing monsters is super fun! LOL! There have been a few (as mu daughter calls them) jump scares.. mostly when I am in a dungeon and a monster spawns right near me! I do cleansing breaths before I go into a dungeon because I don't do scary very well. HA!
So, friends... what have you all been up to since I have practically gone MIA...? (even my normal Facebook has not seen much of me either... let alone my Sims Facebook.)
