So I know I’ve failed at updating recently, but a lack of motivation and AP World History make it really hard to play the Elseas. However, I have explored the basics of it and such, so I figured I might as well give you guys something to read about, chieftly Mummies because I feel there’s not much information about them.

I told you I’d be back!
“I’m going to phrase this is the nicest way I know how, Mom. Please stop staring and flirting with me, It’s very creepy. I’m married to your daughter and I’m 40 years younger than you!”
Tamara has gotten out of hand lately. (more…)
Technical Difficulties.. Sunday, Oct 18 2009
Other 6:35 pm
Just to get it out there: This isn’t going to affect the next update, since I already have all the screenshots ready. However, if this isn’t resolved soon..
So, whenever I go from Buy/Build mode to Live mode, I get stuck with the little loading cursor and the buy/build interface, and the game basically freezes. This happens to all the households I’ve tried, so I’m pretty sure it isn’t a lot problem. Plus, since the game works fine while in Live mode, I doubt it’s actually a certain piece or furniture. The only new ones I’ve downloaded that could be causing the problems are all from ModtheSims or TSR. I can place all the objects fine.
And the only mods I have are NRAAS stuff, Teen Pregnancy, and NoNewspaper. I doubt any of those would cause this. However, I haven’t tested different save games, or uninhabited houses, so I’ll get back to you guys on that. If anyone has heard of this problem and knows a possible fix, I’d love to hear it. Otherwise I might have to evict the family, buy stuff, move them back in, and then adjust their money using familyfunds, which is not what I want to do. Update is about halfway done, so expect it about Tuesday.
—> News! This problem only happens in the one save file, so I’m going to try and transfer the lot into a new save file and see if that works. I might transfer the three sisters out as well, but I won’t promise anything. Wish me luck!
—> Okay, problem solved! Transferring to a new savefile worked, but in the process Michelle, Isabelle and Jenny were kaboomed.

Yes, I know I’ve been a horrible blog updater lately, it’s just that the second half of term 1 has gotten much much harder, and 4+ hours of homework a night does not make me motivated to play Sims and write about it. Considering I get home at about 4ish anyways. That, coupled with frantically studying to not fail my classes has given 0 time. I’m running on about 5 hours of sleep on weekdays and 6ish on weekends. So yeah, but lucky for you guys this is finals week and next term will be soooo incredibly easier on me so I’ll have time to update you guys on what’s been going on. This typing have eaten up the spare time that I didn’t have. Sorry for my late homework Mr. Widler! I’m honoring my responsibilites (sort of).
Wouldn’t that be weird if he read this blog? Haha, maybe he can give me extra credit for AP Chemistry since my founder worked as a scientist. So yeah. Next week = an update. I promise.
Oh, and the flu did not make this easier either.
2.5 The Return Of Angst Saturday, Sep 12 2009
Checking In and Generation 2 3:29 am
Here’s Nicholas, all child-ified! It’s so weird having a boy child in the house after raising all 8 of his older sisters! I’m glad I get to use this hair style though, I’ve had it for so long!

Generation 2 5:27 pm
I’m not totally sure about anything yet, but I caught Parker at the bank, withdrawing something out of his safety deposit box.. I couldn’t tell what that item in question was, but I could of sworn it was a blue print..
A new house? I suppose, the family has quite a bit of money saved up, and the current house is too small and difficult to add on to or expand any more. We’ll just have to wait and see. (more…)
2.3 Catching Up Saturday, Aug 22 2009
Generation 2 and Other 10:24 pm
This won’t be in a format you’ve seen before: I’m going to go through every family members 1 by 1 to catch you up on them. Everyone is 8 days older than what it says on the About the Family page, so A LOT has happened.
Okay, first off: Generation 3! That’s right: Katy had her baby! This is Lily, our little toddler. In the background is Nicholas, Parker and Tamara’s LAST BABY. They were born on the same day. Lily is a virtuoso and easily impressed, while Nicholas is athletic and absent minded. (more…)
Just A Teaser~ Wednesday, Aug 19 2009
Generation 2 and Other 3:47 am
I haven’t forgotten about you guys or the Elseas, school is just more challenging and time consuming than I expected, and I’ve also just been feeling unmotivated to do anything. So, I leave you with this teaser:
There will be 4 pregnancies in the next mega-update (3 of them happened before my computer’s wipe, so I’ll only be able to show you the toddler versions of the offspring. The fourth is still pregnant.) I will tell you the three names of the newest Elseas! Lily, Hailey, and Nicholas! A boy, finally! The fourth pregnancy will be Buck or Elizabeth, based on gender of course. 2 people will move out, and there are 5 aging ups as well. Another non-baby sim also moves in, and there are two marriages. Sadly, most of this I can’t have pictures of because they were all deleted in the wipe, but I might be able to scrounge up a few. Stay tuned, I promise times a million that this huge update will be up by Friday! I’ll also attempt to fill in the 100+ screenshots lost from my wipe as well. Other stuff probably happened too, but I forget when there’s so much, haha.
Anyways, that was a huge amount of text. (I have 3 tests and 2 quizzes in my first week back! Gah.)
And A Minor Setback.. Sunday, Aug 16 2009
Other 10:12 pm
Okay, so last night I got a little popup from my antivirus saying that it was infected. You know, when it alerts you, saying blahblahprogram has been infected, only it was it’s own name. I chose to quarantine it, and that’s when the chaos began. The next morning, I woke up to a new desktop background, with bold red letters, saying my computer was infected, Firefox and Google Chrome were blocked by a new fake antivirus along with several programs and the Sims 3. Everything went crazy, so I spent a few hours getting rid of enough of all this crap so I could copy my save games and school stuff to a flash drive, and ended up wiping my hard drive (not until I backed up my save games!) So, here I am, with a ‘bran new’ old computer without the Sims 3 or any custom content, with just some save games on a flash drive. So, needless to say I’ll be pretty busy for a few days getting everything set up. (I also lost 100+ screenshots, which are part of the save game, so a lot of stuff has happened that I won’t have pictures of!)
Anyways, I can’t say when a update will be since I’ll be starting my sophomore year tomorrow, but I’ll try and get an estimate up soon!
