Rambling

LiveJournal is seriously complicated for a blogging website. It’s impossible for me to successfully use the ‘read more’ part without wasting half an hour trying to figure out how to use it. At least on Blogger and Tumblr you just press ‘split post’ or you press ‘insert read more break’ and it works. But I shouldn’t have to go to the FAQ each time I want to use the ‘read more’ option.

Oh, and I hate Blogger’s new website. I can’t use it without the window freezing up. And I want to update the blog links section but I can’t because of Blogger.

In other news, NewSea left TSR. Good for them, I guess. Looks like I lost all my reasons to check PMBD, then.

England

All About Style, one of the better CC websites I’ve seen, has created a Kate Middleton set. I think they kind of nailed it, although I don’t know if I’d actually get any of them. Some of them look similar to default stuff, but then again, they’re making Kate’s wardrobe, not their own dresses, so yeah. I like the hair, though. And the third dress is probably my favorite, probably because I’ve seen the original one so much. It’s kind of annoying but refreshing for the media’s obsession with them. It seems like Kate and Will truly love each other and it’s nice to see something good happen, for once. I don’t like how there’s a lot of ‘buy Kate Middleton’s engagement dress/ring/toothbrush/etc. knock-off to celebrate the special day for 19.99! It’s the gift of a life time!’. Just let the couple have their special day.

And I was right. FarmVille did let me go to the English Countryside after waiting a while. And I went… and there’s nothing. Which is kind of stupid because they pumped it up so much since February. They were all ‘Sheep Breeding! New crops! Themed items! Fertile land!’ and everything but when you go there, there’s literally nothing besides a few plots of land, some default animals and trees, and a cottage or two. I hope things get better. I mean, it truly sounded fun but it’s even worse than when FarmVille originally started out in 2009.

The Result(s) of my Downloading Spree

Remember how I said I started to learn how to download CC Saturday? I went on a downloading spree, and this is what I got…

Yes, a single Newsea hair. Well, not like a hair off of Newsea themselves, XD. That would be creepy. But like one hairstyle designed by Newsea.

Everything else I wanted was .package format.

But still, I love this hairstyle. I like the bangs and how they’re organized but not too organized and how the hair isn’t too majestic horse-ish or whatever. Sure, I don’t think I’ve seen someone with this IRL, but it looks better than a lot of other hairs that look like this, or try to get this result. It looks better in game, but I forgot to take pictures, so… yeah. I want to know where Newsea got the name, though. Like seriously, is Janine or whatever too unoriginal?

Oh, and I got the TMobile EA content. If you don’t have the code yet, it’s GET CONNECTED. But you could only unlock one a day, so start getting the stuff you like the most before EA ends the promotion.

 

… Did I just take your trademark, SS?

I’m in a CC mood

I just learned how to download Custom Content not from the exchange. Well, SS was telling me exactly what to do each step in the process so I won’t screw up. I suck at the whole CC scene. But yeah. I’ve had the game since… December 27 2009?

It doesn’t help that I’m reading a Sims 3 Custom content related magazine, Sensation. It’s more like Sim Modeling and stuff, and they creatively mention what CC to get. Like, it’s not like ‘so and so made this dress. Download it now!’, but more subtle stuff like dresses for fun nights out.

In other news, the weather is getting better here. And it didn’t really snow that much yesterday around here. I saw Massachusetts in the news and they had a lot of snow, to the point of shoveling. o.O

Yay

I found out that I miscounted the weeks we have until spring break, so now it's only 3 instead of 4. :D And there's an EA promotion thing going on with T Mobile, and it's moderately good free sports stuff from EA, so that brightened up my mood, too. I like how it's not just jerseys and uniforms, but it's actually usable sports content. No offense, but the Sims 3 CC makers aren't exactly in the 'sports playing crowd', so they make better casual or dressy stuff. Like, most CC I see is like hipster clothes, not FootLocker. And if you're wondering, the Hipster style is like, stripes, plaid, thick glasses, converse, skinny jeans, scarves, and 'those' kinds of stuff. But yeah, I wonder if the hoop content thing is playable.
