I spent the entire weekend playing Sims 2
Apr. 25th, 2005 10:03 amBy Sunday, I was starting to feel like a Sim. Sim!Snape was eating pancakes and they looked good so I made myself pancakes. Then I had spaghetti for dinner. Sim!Harry and Sim!Ginny are engaged. I don't know why I do these things. There's also a Hermione. The original Snape and Lupin live in another neighborhood (Veronaville). These others, including the new Snape (who looks more like a cross between Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson but I'm getting closer) lives in this new neighborhood I made, called Ocean Beach. It was one of the ready-made empty neighborhoods (the one that looks like an island). I don't have Sim City 4 so I can't make my own custom neighborhoods.
( This will probably be boring to anyone who doesn't play The Sims )
Next on the agenda: make skins and make a Sims 2 page on my site. The Neo skin's mesh has boots and a low collar but I made a slightly better Snape outfit, with plain, knee-high boots. I don't know how to get at the neck, though. And I don't get what the third image file is for, the one that's all greyscale. The filename says something about texture. Until I figure it out better, all I'll be able to do is modify colors and patterns on existing clothes. Oh well, that's not too bad.
ETA: I got the new memory and video card all sorted out. My dad didn't do anything with the CD or DVD drives and they were there when he turned it back on. So something must have been jostled loose and jostled back into place. Dangit. I'm always afraid of breaking things if something goes wrong the first time so I don't want to attempt a second try. My dad said I could've done it myself too. Not that he minded doing it. But he knows it bugs me that the problem would've gone away by itself anyway.
