Michael Jackson (1958-2009): A Tribute

I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself, if I didn’t say a little something about such a talented person, who created such beautiful, and inspiring music.  So here are a few of my favorite songs by Michael Jackson.  It’s not much, but may he Rest In Peace.

Aidlsi Tech College

This’ the last university, and it’s my version of Sim State University.  I started this first, but finished it last because, I forgot to add community lots for the students.

Aidlsi Technical College excels in Business and Film/Media and Journalism.  It’s located near the bustling city, but far enough to give the feeling of exclusion.  Students here have the opportunity to in their first year, to intern at a local business/firm to help them decide in choosing their major.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-12-46-79  Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-13-07-58 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-17-43-61 The Tri-Var Sorority are in the midst of recruiting members, but lack of funds are restricting their activities.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-18-11-38 Hermia Capp always the quiet one, is having a little meltdown being around her suite mates, but with the help of Chandler, who ironically, is Mercutio Monty’s girlfriend, she’s starting to enjoy herself.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-20-01-86 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-19-29-11Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-20-31-09 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-20-54-76 Mercutio and Puck are having a blast here, but all those girls hanging around their dorm is starting to get them in trouble with their girls.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-21-19-55 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-21-44-18 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 18-22-25-71

Elispmia University

I created three universities to replace maxis for my megahood.  I tried my best to add all the university households, but the students in the family bin disappeared, or I’m just not looking in the right place.

Elispmia University is my version of Academie Le Tour.  It is the main university for Ellipsis, and since it was founded mainly by the Farming Society in Ellipsis, it resembles their values.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-08-30-38 The majority of the dorms and shops are located here on the west side, and so is the observatory.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-08-51-54 Elispmia is best known for its Astronomy, Ecology and Marine studies, but it also known to have some of the hardest Life Sciences courses.  If a person is interested in majoring in the sciences, the students here would recommend you take some of the core courses at other colleges, but then again, Elispmia does not accept most credits from other schools.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-10-27-07 There are a very little houses for rents, and it’s recommended that students live in the dorms in their first two years.  Students are free to decide where to live in their junior years, as long as space is available for the chosen residence.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-11-25-86 Elispmia’s East Campus has its own atmosphere.  Student’s here have more freedom to leave the campus, and the shops here are open 24/7, but unfortunately, they are further away from the Academic Campus.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-12-13-31 Starting from the current semester, only four houses are available to rent, and three are occupied (there are plan underway to construct more).  Chloe Curious-Smith, Erin Beaker, and Athena Beaker occupy the largest house and are the Residence Advisors to this Quad.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-12-25-91 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-12-45-44 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-13-08-85 Delilah O’Feefe moved into the dorms after living on her own for a semester.  As as RA for the Gossamer Hall, and as a mentor, she is one of the student’s who greatly believes in staying in the dorms, and getting to know other students.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-13-32-22Angela Pleasant unlike Lillith, ran away from an uncomfortable relationship.  Things in Elispmia are not as she hoped, but she is learning to enjoy herself.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-13-55-06 Mortimer and Bella were sad to see their other two children leave them, but they were comforted knowing Devi and Noel would be staying in the same dorm, and looking after each other. Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-14-15-26Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-14-25-63 Tybalt wanted to be as far away from his sisters, and women in general, and chose to attend Elispmia and live in the boys dorms.  This decision turned out to be one to regret.Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-14-39-32DJ Verse was surprised when her brother didn’t apply to NM, but he was happy here, even though he had to share a dorm with one of the Summerdreams. Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-15-03-84 Sims2EP9 2009-06-25 17-15-18-13 EU has started a new program that mandatory for every student to participate in, to try and encourage more applicants and early graduation.  Thus far, the students aren’t particularly happy about it, but things are beginning to change.

Noeki Meirla University

I debated how to incorporate the kids from my megahood, while trying to get my neighborhood to work, and I finally decided it that since the teens from Pleasantview and Veronaville have been here the longest, they should move on to the next stage in their lives, as young adults.  The teens from the other neighborhoods, will remain in their current life stage until I get to the stories of their parents.

Noeki Meirla University is my equivalent of La Fiesta tech, but they’re similar only because they’re both desert neighborhoods.Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-44-31-00 Again, sorry for the bad image, but like I’ve said, my desktop has a poor graphics card, and at the moment, I haven’t made a backup to play on my tablet.

I wanted to remember the characters studying at this university, and where each is, so I’ll be adding images, so I can remember them.  Currently, there are eight occupied lots, and I’m planning on keeping it as is, due to fear of pc overload/overheating.Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-45-12-11 Dirk Dreamer was accepted into NM U. with a full scholarship, which made Lillith very happy, her parents chose this university for her (she had no say in the decision).Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-45-41-75 Daniel paid a huge sum/donation to the university to get Lillith out of his way, and the farther, the better.  Lillith was happy to get out of the house, and knowing Dirk was accepted into the school, made her feel even better.Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-45-54-79 The students of the boys dorm (I’ll make sure to jot down their name later on).Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-46-17-34 These students are very radical in everything they do, and are causing troubles to everyone at NM.Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-47-02-15 Miranda Capp’s at NM too, however, I haven’t gotten the chance to play her lot (I have to get to her parents before getting to her story).Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-46-39-44 I’m playing the playable characters (originals) that came with S2U, but not all of them because the ones in the family bin are not in my game (I downloaded a clean template from MATY), and some others are missing, and I won’t bother trying to search for them.Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-47-43-95 The Tri-Fruhm Sorority Household.  DJ Verse is my favorite of the four, and I couldn’t resist bringing them back.Sims2EP9 2009-06-24 21-48-07-53 Frances is a sad character like Florence Delorosa from Bluewater Village, so I have to do something special for him as well.  I wasn’t going to create a family for him, but I think I will (his wealth has to come from somewhere).

I’ll be adding the other two Universities in Ellipsis later.

Sims 2 Titanic

A Sims movie I stumbled on, and didn't want to lose. The detail that went into this movie, is simply amazing. It makes me want to try my hand at it.



The original blog, http://sims2titanic.blogspot.com/, isn't regulary updated, but still worth a look at, if anyone's interested.

Beyonce: Halo

I’ve fallen in love with this song so badly, I knew, I had to post it, because I don’t want to lose it. It’s the kind of song, that makes one dream of possibilities, and I don’t want to forget that.

Game-play Rounds & Rules

I’ve just noticed that I’ve been ignoring some 30+ families, and playing only 5.  Normally, I hate rules, and would rather break them.  However, since I’m really interested in seeing this neighborhood grow, some rules must be put in place.  Like I said, I’m horrible with rules, so just this few is good for a start.



Rounds

1.  Play each family in a neighborhood, for at least 10 minutes (with corresponding shots)
2.  Every family in a neighborhood, has to be in the same season
3.  Stories should be written by rounds


Rules

1.  Elders have to die, when it’s their time (I usually use insim to give them more time)
2.  Babies, and toddlers must be played (too much work, so I normally grow them up into children or teens)
3.  Careers depend on the neighborhood and district a person lives in, and their education background.
