Insim under new management!

[Scotty]

I found a really amusing way to keep myself from going to Insim "just to look'.

I'm playing Sims 2. 

You should be shot!!

[Titan]

I plot and plan with the others... Does this make me evil?

No, it just makes you really interesting.

I was going to suggest to everyone who was having an "Oh my gosh, what do I do while all this goes on?" moment that this might be a good time to actually go and Play Your Game.  I know to some simmers out there that is a bizarre idea.  So many of have almost gotten to the point that the game becomes second to the social invironment of the community but that is still what we all have in common.  Maybe I will actually boot it up today and get distracted for a while.  

Maybe, to make it more fun, someone could make up a Walt sim and put him up for us to "use" in game.  Then, if anyone feels the need, pictures can be posted of the "antics" that insue.

Just a thought. (I suck at sim making so I unfortunately can be of no help in the Walt creation.)

I wish I could. But I can't. Dying computer is dying.

That was what I was doing on the weekend, to keep my self too busy to wander over to the Insim site.  It does help pass the time nicely and not to mention, I finally had a chance to check out all of the downloads from my last little spree.

And fun! You should plot with me counteract the forces of EVILLLL at work! Hehehe...*Singing* But, I turn in my 2 weeks today! Merry Frigin' Christmas Mr. Man!

Passes rum and cookies all around!

Any chance of a quick tutorial on how to play the game then?  LOL


I may go and play my apocalypse hood - I've not even got to the end of year 1 yet 

[Scurvy Cat]

If you can't play the SIms then go into your kitchen and make these:

Rum Balls
1/2 lb vanilla wafers crushed to a powder*
2T (1 oz square) unsweetened chocolate
1/2 C corn syrup
1/4 c lt Rum
confectioner's Sugar

Melt Choclate and cool to warm temperature.  Mix allingredients except confectioner's sugar until thoroughly blended.
Roll into 1 tsp balls** and then in confectioner's sugar.  Put on a cookie sheet and chill overnight.

*crushing vanilla wafers is a very satisfying way to work off your frustrations.  Just imagine each one having Walt's face on it.
** Chilling the mixture makes it much easier to make into balls.

Then share them around.  (I'd do it, but I can't eat the things anymore.  The corn syrup makes me sicker than a Scurvy Dog.)

Edited to fix a quantity error.

For those of us in the colder regions, I did find this little recipe, to help keep the chill away.

MICROWAVE HOT MULLED CIDER

1/2 tsp. whole allspice
1/2 tsp. whole cloves
1 stick cinnamon
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. cranberry juice
1 qt. apple cider

In a 2 quart casserole combine all ingredients. Cover. Microwave on high for 5-8 minutes or until hot. Strain.
*Adding a little rum is optional.

Neriana I suppose the other thing you've got to keep in mind as well is, in the context of the modders it reduces the chance of conflicts too, thus leading to less borkage of other's games.

Most of the hacks and mods have documentation and notes.  That solves that problem.

Only up to a point.. not everyone is equally good at reading or understanding hack notes or how things can clash with each other

If someone can't read a faq they deserve what they get. Besides, Inge's original post was some gobbledygook about "respect", not about good coding or clashing hacks or oh won't somebody think of the 12s. I have never in my life seen such an attitude before in any gaming community. Feeling "disrespected" because someone else's mod does something yours does too? What?

I realize there are like 267 pages since someone last posted on this topic, but the amount of "respect" mod makers and creators demand in the Sims community is something I have never seen elsewhere. Yes, people in other communities want actual respect, but they generally don't confuse it with worship, and they don't confuse themselves with someone who actually has the rights to the game they're hacking.

Samantha: Yes, of course you can steal it.

Now I'm going to try to finish reading this thread -- ooh, rum balls!

[Quorneater]

Neriana, I think you are trying to pick a fight, but I am not going to do it in this thread, sorry.

[TKPurrrrs]

Ah... you found my weakness Scurvy Cat ... Im addicted to chocolate and rum is my favorite adult drink *licks lips and drools over Rum Ball recipy*

Dang... I need to do a grociary run... dont have any chocolate left from my last chocolate raid... nor is their any nilla waffers *grumbles* Guess I have to give the boyfriend a call to pick up some stuff on his way home from work tonight since I dont have a car.

[pickles]

I've been quiet (surprise, I know!) but frankly I'd be more interested in getting my smite on with a Kathy and Eric playset, rather than this Walt sucker. Because, let's be honest, he didn't intentionally screw everyone over on this deal. Yes, it would have been embarrassing for K&E to admit to making a profit if they'd turned the site over to a staff member, but it would have easily been forgiven, and possibly forgotten with just an apology. Now they're lying bastards any way you slice it, and Walt and his mother are stuck footing the bill. I do hope he gets his mother's money back at least, and then stays far, far away from the internets for a long time.

'kay I'm done

Neriana, I think you are trying to pick a fight, but I am not going to do it in this thread, sorry.

Unfair Quorneater is unfair.

In your own words:

And besides, some of us quite like watching people fight

You're not the only one. 

[Paden]

Neriana speaks bluntly and to the point. If she wants a fight, she'll go for your throat methinks. Best way to avoid said/perceived invitation to fight? Ignore what you think is said/perceived threat. Also, I thought you liked MOAR FIGHT?

ETA: Quick calalily is QUICK! Woman, have you been taking speed-typist sessions or something??
