The idea is essentially this; you see (or... 2013-03-31T12:53:13Z 2013-03-31T12:53:13Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=6575 By way of introduction... As many people who know me have probably realised, I have a problematic attention span. When I mod, I get enthusiastic about figuring out how to do something, but once the tricky part is figured out I lose all interest in finishing it. As such, my sims modding folder is... 2009-12-30T06:52:53Z 2009-12-30T06:52:53Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=4553 Seems I have tendonitis in my left hand. This is extremely frustrating for me, because I'm basically unable to use it for anything. Tying up shoelaces is bordering on impossible, so as you can imagine typing normally is pretty much out of the question. The good news is that I'm still a fairly fast... 2009-03-30T10:49:18Z 2009-03-30T10:49:18Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3700 I have a problem. My attention span is... Oh look! A kitten! Ahem. Yes. I have a short attention span problem, which means that while I am technically capable of meshing something decent, and of texturing it reasonably well, and animating things smoothly... I normally get to the end of the coding... 2009-03-07T10:47:26Z 2009-03-07T10:47:26Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3587 Two bits of interesting news today! First thing is that you may have noticed a few people mentioning a 'High Rollers' project recently? It's really close now, and I mean *really* close. Keep your eyes open, it's pretty cool. :) The other thing is more of an idle achievement. I saw a post on a... 2009-01-10T14:02:49Z 2009-01-10T14:02:49Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3358 My fairytales entry is up now, and I've got to say that that was fun! I even managed to do it in under my allotted time of 6 days (a self imposed limit to stop me from making another monster set). Of course, now that I've finished it, I feel obliged to write up a proper tutorial on custom socials.... 2007-11-18T01:11:49Z 2007-11-18T01:11:49Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2112 So I figured that since I actually voted for the "fairy tales" theme, I really ought to put in an entry for it, so I am. I haven't worked on anything small for several months now, so I'm a bit out of the habit, but it's a fun challenge to create something in a limited time frame. Here's what I've... 2007-11-06T07:14:39Z 2007-11-06T07:14:39Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2067 At some point today or yesterday, I passed 1 million downloads. This, of course, makes me feel somewhat chuffed. :rofl: It's a bit of an irrelevant number, of course, given that it *does* include all the cases where the same person has downloaded the same item multiple times because of an EP... 2007-09-30T09:23:55Z 2007-09-30T09:23:55Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1941 I'm afk all weekend. Any PMs, emails or questions in any of my threads will have to wait until Monday. Just so you know that I'm not ignoring you. ;) 2007-09-21T06:57:41Z 2007-09-21T06:57:41Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1909 Ok, I'm not targeting anyone specific here, but I've seen several people falling into a particular trap recently and I feel the need to say something: First projects are for experimentation, not exposure! Everyone who's ever created something really cool has had to face the daunting prospect of a... 2007-08-03T11:13:21Z 2007-08-03T11:13:21Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1710 Yes, my new computer is brilliant!!! It's so fast and smooth, even with the graphics set to maximum! All the hassle was worth it in the end. :) Also, the trainset is up, and I'm having an absolute ball with Wes' animation plugins. I made three full sim animations in under a day, it's so fast and... 2007-07-16T12:14:53Z 2007-07-16T12:14:53Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1633 Well last weekend my desktop computer started shutting down spontaneously, so I loaded up a temperature monitor and yes, it was overheating something shocking. So I took it in to get a quote on a repair, where I was told that apparently a capacitor on the motherboard has gone. Thus I am operating... 2007-06-21T11:20:45Z 2007-06-21T11:20:45Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1534 A tutorial writing weekend. There, I've committed myself to it now, and if I don't at least do some tutorial writing then you may all beat me about the head with sticks. I have a whole lot of things I really need to write tutorials for, and I haven't managed to finish (or in some cases, start) any... 2007-06-14T12:51:17Z 2007-06-14T12:51:17Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1514 Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts everyone. Fortunately I am feeling much better now! So much so that I can't justify lazing about the house any more, so I'll be starting my new job on Tuesday. If you happen to work in a Melbourne office and notice a new girl wandering around looking lost... 2007-04-07T13:00:42Z 2007-04-07T13:00:42Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1201 Just letting everyone know that my complete lack of response to any posts, pms etc over the last week and a half was neither laziness nor rudeness. I was feeling a bit unwell the Monday night before last, and on Tuesday night I got rushed to hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Even so it was... 2007-03-29T02:46:52Z 2007-03-29T02:46:52Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1158 That's it guys, it's out! Now go send all your simmies to the carnival! http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=213108 2006-12-31T06:57:20Z 2006-12-31T06:57:20Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=903 May your stockings be bulging. :) I'm still looking for beta testers - If you've got about 2 hours to spare some time in the next three to four days, have all the EPs installed (Stuff packs optional), and you know how to create an error log, let me know ASAP so I can send you the details. For the... 2006-12-24T23:40:14Z 2006-12-24T23:40:14Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=880 Hi all, My current project of about 9 months is now reaching the point where I track down the last few bugs before release, so I'd be interested in hearing from a few people (no more than 5 or 6) interested in playing at tester. The objects have been designed to work with all the EPs up to OfB... 2006-12-16T02:22:02Z 2006-12-16T02:22:02Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=839 Due to the fact that I'm an Aussie, I won't get a copy of pets until over a week after the US. Consequently, I cannot confirm 100% that my items/hacks will work as intended until then. Most of my creations are reasonably low risk, as their code is all local and self contained. Only the "sleep on... 2006-10-19T10:12:06Z 2006-10-19T10:12:06Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=633 Hi any and all Just letting everyone know that I got back from my extended-AFK yesterday morning, so I'm back to being contactable. 2006-08-06T09:14:07Z 2006-08-06T09:14:07Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=263 Just letting anyone who wants to know know - I am going to Kuala Lumpur for work for the next two weeks. It will probably involve quite long hours and I'm not sure what sort of internet access I'll have outside of work hours, so it's probably best to assume that I'm not around or available until... 2006-07-22T03:38:47Z 2006-07-22T03:38:47Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=173 At least, it's more about the sims than the last one! The bad news is, you're not going to hear anything about my current project right now, except that I've been working on it for over 3 months, and it's not looking ready for release any time in the near future. Parts of it are done (heck, one of... 2006-07-17T10:28:42Z 2006-07-17T10:28:42Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=136 I am Echo. You had probably guessed that already of course, but it never hurts to be explicit from the beginning. No, not that sort of explicit. Get your mind out of the gutter people. Goodness... I should also be up front about another thing. I am notorious for not maintaining journals, blogs,... 2006-07-15T04:40:55Z 2006-07-15T04:40:55Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=116
