orikesWARNING: Sim Stuff Ahead
As always, I'd been hoping to get an update out by now, but failed. Day Three of the BC is probably about two-thirds written. I've only got one scene I don't know what to do with this time, so I'm debating whether or not it gets cut. I'm getting very tired of writing conversations that are just people getting to know one another. So while the group dinner is a nice scene visually, I'm not sure I can come up with anything decent to actually say for the pictures.
Either way, Day Three should be up soon. Once it's up, I'm going to play through to the end of the BC and then figure out the plotty scenes I want to fill in. I'm thinking of doing Day Four similar to how I've done them so far, but throw in more plotty, then combine Days Five and Six into one.
I really really really can't wait until the BC is over. I'm so anxious to get back to the main storyline. It's been three months since I've played the main neighborhood, but the next Pseudo update will be mostly plot so I still can't play. I'd really like to get to Gen Six before the two year anniversary, but I'm not sure I'm going to pull that off.
I keep going back and forth on whether the BC was a mistake or not. I just write too slow to be able to throw something like this in the midst of my regular storyline. At this point, Gen Five should be teenagers and getting ready to head to college. Instead, they're all still babies or unborn and I'm slogging through the BC. I know I'll be (mostly) happy with it when it's done, but getting there has been painful.
Day Three would have been done this weekend, but I've got 'stuff' going on. Tonight is gaming and since it's in the 80's, I'm going over early to go swimming. Yay swimming! Tomorrow is my friends' daughter's third birthday party which I am not allowed to miss. Not that I would since Adelaide is my buddy. I should be able to squeeze in the rest of the writing soon, and then it'll be easy to throw it up there.
On another note, I tried out Kiki's Phasmatic skins, but ended up taking them out. On some of my sims, they looked absolutely lovely and I wish I could have kept them, but on sims that don't have perfect features, they did very weird highlighting things. The toddlers I looked at had weird facial planes on their cheeks. Ophelia had some weird highlights around her nose, and Stacielee's eyes looked like they were sitting on a shelf behind her cheeks. Oh well. Maybe I'll give Lyran's skins a try and see how they look. I liked that Kiki had default replacements for the supernatural races to go along with the regular skins.
Anyway, I'm off to swimming and D&D. :)
