Hello.

Hi again. I've just tried TS2 on my Mum's laptop. And now, her disc drive wont work.
I give up with computers. I'll try the console versions.

Graphics card memory : n/a

My hopes on playing the Sims has been quashed due to my crappy graphics card that came with my crappy laptop. Now every spec is reached, except video card memory. The master of computers fixed my disc drive, and doubled my RAM, but to be honest, I've given up since I went into Dxdiag and realised I have no memory avaidable in my graphics card. What kind of graphics card do you call with no memory? A pointless one. Honestly, I am annoyed.
I have been wasting too much frustration on my laptop and The Sims. I have no clue on graphics cards and don't want to ask my Dad's friend again, he really worked hard and I'm being ungrateful. The annoying thing was I sent it with the intention of playing Sims.
To add insult to injury, my Mum's laptop is exactly the same model but a little newer, and she's got a decent memory card. She's offered to swap, but it just doesn't seem right. I feel like an ungrateful cow, and my parents probably see that too. I can be so stubborn.
Best sell up and no longer fill the pockets of the profiteering company of EA.
Goodbye, I guess, and Happy Simming.
Amy.

Death Of A Computer.

Right, I have been gone for like, ten months now, and I never explained why I just didn't blog anymore.
Simply put, my desktop died of the death. So TS3 is now unplayable.
Sorry for the lack of explanation.

But, I'm getting my laptop back from a computer geek who's updated my RAM and replaced to disc reader tommorrow (posting via parents notebook) so fingers crossed it may handle TS2. *Fingers crossed*

And, finally, I'm sorry about ditching the blog.

So, no more 'Temptations' nor 'Ambitions'.
That's rather depressing.
Sorry!

It's a love/hate relationship.

Gosh, I'm just looking at my timetable for this school year and I feel it's going to be a tough year. The school have decided to do the tough GCSE work and exams this year, giving us less to do next year. I have to buy  7 folders this year! ( History, Drama, R.E, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and posssibly Welsh). Fortuantly  my English teacher has saved money and another folder by deciding to make us write all of our work on paper, then sticking it in a box. And our corsework is done in school, under exam rules, and then my English teacher puts it in a safe. Crazy, isn't it? I'm not sure if the coursework for other lessons is done in school, but I think it is.

Anyway, back to the timetable. Because I have taken Double Science, I've got 7 lessons of science per week. 2 Chemistry, 2 Physics (in a double lesson - oh please!) and 2 Biology. The extra lesson is either Physics, Chemistry or Biology. It sorta goes in a rota. This week, I had Physics. Next week, it'll be Chemistry. The week after that, I'll have biology, and then it goes back to Physics again the next week.

But, on the bright side, I have 3 lessons of Drama per week, 3 R.E and 3 History, and 4 English. Yay!

I'd like to know what you have chosen if you are in year 10 or 11 doing your GCSE'S. Or if you are in university, what are you studying? And even if you aren't a student, if you could go to college or school again, what would you study?

My disspearings.

Hi, I've noticed I haven't been simming for a while, and this is the honest truth. I went on me hols for two weeks in the first two weeks of August, then I was shipped down to my aunt's to spend my birthday down in Cambridge. And then I return home, have to buy my backpack and other school stuff (I was skint until me birthdays which is on the 28th) and then have to return to the hell we call school. So I've beeen a busy bee. And the week inbetween the holiday and Cambridge, I just couldn't be arsed to sim, I just wanted to meet up with my mates becuase my friend dislocated her knee before the summer break and she no longer had to use her crutches since that week.

Anyway, I might go simming today, unless my little sister kicks me off the computer again to go on bloody facebook. (This is what I despise about having a sister the same height as you.)

P.I.(E)

Haha, just random thing off The Simpsons, and a episode with Cheif Wiggum. So that explains the title. I was mucking around with my P.I sim, Freya, and wanted to show some pics.


First, Freya interviewed this woman on when somone kicked over her garden gnome. (*rolls eyes*)


Oh , and Twinbrook has terrible fasion sense. I'm glad Tiffany's sorting these out.


In her snazzy undercover uniform, she searches for evidence...



In trash. She finds some shoes that are all worn out, and goes to confront this dude, who's the womans neighbour.



Then man confesses, and the job is done.


And tells the woman that the suspect is guilty. She cheers and I think that Twinbrook need a thousand Trinny and Susannah's to sort this one out.



At night, there is a new job, under the cover of nightfall.



Something dreadful has happened, the local rockstar might have gossiped about the beautiful lady here on the internet! :O (note sarcasm).



So now she has to break into the rockstars home to hack into his computer. Lovely.

Oh and also, Freya and her brother, Frank are on the exchange, as well as Tiffany.

Here's the linkages. 

Meet The Richies.

Okay, I've been making some new sims, and yes I know, the last name ain't exactly original. And most of the household don't have that name. This is how it goes. Nicola Richie, a woman who's high in her business and hoping to go higher. She is a grumpy snob who likes cooking and romantics and is very rich. She has recently moved in with her boyfriend Leo. She despises Leo's daughter Katie and wants her out of the house the minuite she's old enough to leave.


Leo Lanstrom is a very confident party animal who can schmooze himself into any promotion and is an amazing kisser. He is also slightly snobbish, just like Nicola. Some think the only reason Leo coupled with Nicola is so that he would be richer, but deep down, Leo does like her. But will the money make him greedy?



Finally, there is Katie Lanstom, the daughter of Leo. She is a adventurous party animal, who has a problem for stealing, and is rather insane.  She never wanted to move in with her father and his new girlfriend, but she had no where else to stay, as her father brought her up himself. Will she provoke Nicola so much she might have to leave home as a teen?


Here's the link if anybody is interested. The upload image changer failed on me and there's no picture, but this is how they look.

Temptations Update (No pics)

Hello, I know I haven't been updating in god knows how long, and for 3 little reasons.
1) Been busy packing and such for my holiday on the 2nd of August to the 16th.
2) Been forgetting to update blog and play Sims,
3) And every single time I do remember, my sister kicks me off the computer so she can go on Facebook (rolls eyes).

So here's my update of Temptations, right here, on the blog, and there's no pics because I've been to busy to get the pictures, sorry! But you've seen what the characters look like anyway so it doesn't really matter.


As Abigail woke up that morning, feeling the touch of her deadly husband, the Grim Reaper, she felt a tiny stab of guilt go through her. After all, the Reaper cared for her and touched her soul with his kind words, even if those words were "I would destroy all of the human race for you." , and she was stabbing him in the back without him even knowing it. She was, in fact, letting their son be raised by a paid teenager whilst she made love with another man. But the stab was soon healed, and she leaped out of bed, hearing Melvin's cries. She decided that she had to pick him up and pay attention to his needs, as she had to keep up appearances so her husband didn't suspect anything.
 That morning, as Grim got ready for work, Abigail prepared breakfast for him whilst carrying Melvin in her arms. Melvin wailed until she put him down in his chair. Melvin wailed because he didn't trust his mother. As Grim came into the kitchen, everything appeared like a usual happy family. Abigail making some waffles perfectly, appearing as the mother, who was a great cook and stayed at home as Grim kisses Abigail on the cheek and ruffles up his son's hair (who was eating his breakfast messily) and sits down as his breakfast is served to him. His son smiles at his father and everything appears normal. This was why Grim never suspected everything. On the appearance, there was never anything to suspect.
 Later on, as Grim was busy working, he was sent out of work for a Important Meeting with a stranger. This beautiful ginger stranger sat with him in the Bistro during his lunch break, giving him an offer he couldn't refuse.
"My name is Mellisa Frenchman, and I am the head of Death Nations. I've heard of your brilliant work," she flattered, "and I would like to hire you to rid of dying mortals across all the worlds Death Nations own. This would give you an amazing pay, but you'd be working for very long shifts each day. Is that fine by you, Mr Reaper?" Her smile and strong tone made him accept. The words flew round his mind "Amazing pay.. brilliant work..." he envisioned a home that his family lived in, where Abigail could relax in a mansion, caring for her son then having a job she loved. And then Melvin could go to Evil University and study any evil subject he wishes. Then he can retire young and live the rest of his life happily destroying the happiness of others. He shook her hand, and the deep red lips of Monica Kallop twisted upwards as her part of Alice's plan was complete, and completed perfectly.

  *************************************************************************

Meanwhile, Alice managed to find James sitting alone, by the top lake, near the waterfall. His sorrow was being emptied through throwing stones violently into the lake, as Alice slowly crept behind him.
"James." James turned to face Alice. His eyes were red with tears and anger. Alice put his arm around him.
"I just cannot believe this would happen. I thought she loved me. But she doesn't." James lifted Alice's arm and looked for something else to throw.
"She doesn't care..." Alice said apologetically. "I'm very sorry, James, to confront you with this, but how could you be such a fool? This is why vampires only mates are vampires. You just don't "love" other species. It's just not going to happen. And especially one that already has a mate? Sorry, James, but she'll never leave him for you. Remember what I read in her mind last night? She decided that this had to end. She is going to end the affair... especially after.." The lies came off her tongue very simply.
"Please, Alice, stop. I don't want graphic details of how she decided it after making love to her husband. It just makes me jealous and angry." The anger rised then. "HOW COULD SHE CHOOSE HIM?!" James roared, grabbing Alice, shaking her. Alice pushed him back, sending him flying across the diameter of the lake. She ran towards him over the water, sending thousands of droplets of water behind her.
James lay on the grass limply, barley any strength in him left to breathe. Alice knew what was wrong instantly, and reached into her backpack.
"You haven't had any blood, now have you?! All those bodies that are dead on the ground, you haven't fed on them have you?! You done all this out of anger, haven't YOU?!" Alice said sternly. Even though she obviously wasn't Little Miss Good, she knew it was wrong to just slaughter people without feeding on them or taking revenge on them.
James did nothing but weakly nod three times, to answer "Yes" to every question.
 She quickly grabbed a blood bag, tore it open and handed it to James. "Drink." was the only word she commanded. There was a silence between the two as James drank the blood, as neither of them knew if he would recover. A few minutes later, the strength came back to James and he sat up and said thanks to Alice. If she wasn't there, who knows what would have happened to him. He felt the trust he felt for Alice increasing and thanked her for not feeling sorry for him.
"Don't worry James, I don't feel sorry for people who it is their own fault for being foolish." It was a harsh comment, but harsh truth was what he needed know. Even though that was the only part of truth that she had spoke of the entire day to James.
 The mobile phone in his pocket began ringing. He took it out, glancing at the words written on it. Abigail is calling. He glanced at it for a final second, responded to nod that Alice gave, and threw the ringing phone into the lake.

    *************************************************************************

Back at the Reaper residence, Abigail sighs as her call to James is ignored again. Giving up, she was about to leave the house and look for him, but Grim entered a second too soon. Kissing Abigail, he declares he has amazing news. Sarcastically, Abigail felt that this was a insane piece of news, as he usually goes on about, but this time, he declared his promotion, his pay increase and longer shifts.
Abigail smiles but the thoughts in her head are vicious. James is ignoring me. Grim is working longer. This means I'm open to Alice!

And that's Chapter 3. I really hope it was worth the wait, and any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Imma 60's rebel...

Hehe. I'm doing a sponsered walk soon, and imma be a hippie, or as my History teacher told me mate "A Sixties Rebel" ! It's fancy dress. This is just a short and silly post, sorry. I think I'll be a bit more random as well as posting new sims, updating Temptations, and playing Ambitions. It 'cos it's what you wanted, so I'll be handing it out to you. :]

So I'll finish this post with some lyrics with a twist... "Imma be, Imma Be, Imma, Imma , Imma Be, I'm a wasp!" :] Toodles.

Ambitions stuffs...

I know I'm a bit behind on the Ambitions craze, but I'm such in loves with it, I wanna show off a few piccies of my new stylist sim.

Her name is Tiffany Pier, her traits are Dramatic, Mean - Spirited (I wanna do a horrible makeover do someone - muahaha) Inappropriate, Virtuoso, and Artistic.


Nothings like getting a tatoo in a long sleeved tee, eh?


After getting a tatoo, I begin Tiffany's work as a stylist. I was planning on doing an awful makeover, but I felt so sorry on how he looked now, there's no way I could make it worse.

So I gave him a good makeover. But the next one will be a disaster! Muhahaha! >:]
