I just really wanted to comment about your absolutely amazing skill: writing.
You would make a very good author because, if you haven’t noticed, people really love your series! I haven’t been a fan for very long, but once I became one, I was entirely hooked on your stories. Now, I am sure people have told you something much like it before, but it’s just so true.
So, that’s’ really all I have to say…. I just really wanted to let you know!

Lydia !

You don’t even know how much I missed your stories! You really should continue writing that or at least finish the series! You don’t know how many people are missing your work!! Well that’s my random rant for today, I really hope you take this to heart and finish up chapter 9

The skins are great too, but I’m amazed by what Peggy will bring for us.

You’re very right about the animations. They’re nearly all the same. There are some new of course, but it’s more like when there are new animations added in a Sims 2 EP. So much is the same I feel like I’m playing the same game a lot of the time — if it weren’t for the neighborhood that is.

The Sims 3 definitely runs smoother than Sims 2 on my computer. Probably due to lack of CC of course. Haha. But also the lack of loading screens is completely awesome.

Overall it just seems an even balance of “oh I wish they included this from Sims 2″ and “oh I wish they made this different from Sims 2″. Haha.

I probably need to stop comparing to Sims 2, but it’s hard not to when it was my favorite game for so long.

Since you haven’t played in so long, maybe you’ll appreciate the jump to Sims 3 more? With a computer like you’re getting, you’ll have to at least try it!! Hopefully it won’t be that long before nice CC starts coming out. I’ve seen Mel Calero is already making custom skin tones that looks really great (seen on flickr)!

I didn’t jump to get The Sims 3 because I don’t have a computer to run it, but now that I’m looking at it, I’m considering not even buying it. Okay, maybe I’ll buy it, okay, I probably will buy it. (See, I’m getting this kick-ass laptop [Its like, 4 grand!] for the college I’m going to – Steven’s Institute of Technology [its like, 50 grand!]- maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll be TAUGHT how to use fancy programs so I can learn to make meshes and whatnots. I wont be able to play this game without CC!)

But I’m sorta disappointed. Maybe I was so used to the amazing quality of the pictures and sims from the sims 2. But now I remember why it was amazing. Custom content. Maxis you know should really just make a base game and give everyone directions on how to hack the hell out of it. They do a much better job.

Everything just looks so Maxis. Its horrid. And from the pictures I’ve seen, all the animations look the same! I’ve played The Sims 3 on my iPhone and while I do enjoy the addition of character traits, its not that impressive.

Maybe once I play I’ll be addicted. But it’s been two years since I’ve even had the sims installed on this computer. Jee wiz. You were one of my favorites back then (picture taking, contest competing, blog blogging, story storying, etc.) So after being bored by how lame the hangouts become (although I did find an interesting post that highlights the stupidity of TS3 site & the storytelling factor, by slice) I logged into flickr. I noticed my stream was flooded with pictures that had nothing to do with Sims (Two years ago, it was nothing but sims) and happily stumbled upon finding out you were endgadged, looked at your Sims3 pics like a creep, and, as if something told me you would, Checked your blog. I’m lucky.

I’m Boopifer on Twitter, BTW, but I never log on. I followed you, you followed me, but I didn’t know if you knew who I was.

I still don’t even know if you remember me. Oh well. Write back?
