This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
MMMHMM! HELLYEA on the Steven x Wallace love.
Oh, and Nosepass kicks some serious bootay.
Caves suck.
I like Hoenn and all, but the games after Crystal are srsly slooow. Esp Fire Red and Leaf Green. I mean JESUS! I'm ready to bang my head into something sharp it's so slow!
Oh... but there is some bad news... ehh...
My sims 2 game imploded.
In otherwords... no more sims. No more anything. All pictures, files, everything gone.
I am sad about it, but I do have about 6 more gigas free on my compy now. So... it kind of evens out. And my processor speed was carp for playing the sims. Meep.
Well... at least there's the memories... and Razara, KissingT, and all of y'all who have sims 2 games.

I live. I've been posting a story to sims2community.com -- don't know if i've mentioned that.
I now own every Sims 2 EP and stuff pack. So far.
er, yay.
EDIT: Oh, and three or four randomish images from my S2 folder on photobucket:

AMY HAET BOOT.
And another special bonus image:
Umi: DAMNED BEANS!

I don't live. Damn repetitive stress injuries.
As I've mentioned before, I got a repetitive stress injury about a year ago from typing with a really old keyboard. Luckily, I'm not having trouble typing at the moment, but constantly messing around with the time controls on The Sims really hurts my hands, as well as just about any other video game at the moment.
In other words, I can't play The Sims for a while.
This won't get serious, just as long as I'm not an idiot about it this time. Last time this issue was at it's worst, I was stupid, and tried to type up fanfictions whenever it stopped hurting even a little. And I continued two projects that took ten hours each on The Sims. (Juri's hair and the dueling arena. Now do you see why I always bitch and complain about that?) Why do I do this? Because I'm stubborn. Today I just had to beat the final boss on PSO, even though that was a stupid thing to do, but I hate when I have a project to do that remains unfinished.

I've been able to play again for a while, but once I stopped, I realized just how nice it was not to obsess over this game. I did end up starting to hate it. But posting here is fun, and I would hate to say that there would be no more Sim pictures, so I'll start posting more often again this summer.
My friend Shelleh was visiting yesterday, and I ended up playing on her lot for about four hours in real life, and she was having fun watching. Those of you who were there when I entered the lot are very lucky, because I got lots of pictures. I should have invited over the newest Sims, but it didn't occur to me at the time. As usual, I was just watching Sims interact with Free-Will on.
First of all, I also made a Sim of my friend Magen. I recently introduced her to SKU, and now she's an Akio fangirl. (Her hairstyle is the same as my old one on this game, but it's not me. )
And I know that BioKraze was banned, but while I was letting Magen watch herself make out with Akio, I saw that "Razara" was online, and I just had to get them to chat together through IM. XD
Anyway, a while ago Shelleh had a son that I convinced her to name Seraphitus, and I also made her have another child named Seraphita. Shelleh is teaching her how to talk. I could use these children as an excuse to kill Ruka, since Seraphita's parents died at the exact second predicted, but then I would have to kill Shelleh, too.
Ruka pulled the old, "You've got something on your shirt trick" on Arki. Ruka makes some of the funniest faces sometimes.
Movie-Akio...
Lost a fight against...
Shiori. (He's lost a fight against almost everyone at this point.)
Juri was getting her ass kicked in a water balloon fight by Sim-Miki.
Fish, a soda, and a flower. I'll give super bonus points to whoever can make a dirty joke out of that.
Seraphita grew up into a child. I gave her Tsumiko's hair, since I forgot to make her own hair style for her.
Miki hit Shiori with a pillow, so I gave him a time out.
*Later on*
Shelleh: "Hey, Touga hit Shiori with a pillow. Does he get a time out now, too?"
Razara: "What? Of course not."
I hate Sim-Miki, so I felt like being irrational.
Yasha vs. Touga. They both hit each other with a water balloon at the same time.
Aww, Touga fell out of love because he and Yasha were arguing.
Wait, they were arguing about baseball? Oh, God, I can just imagine it.
Touga: "I'm a fan of Team A."
Yasha: "Really? I'm a fan of Team B."
Touga: "I didn't realize that you were that kind of girl."
The worst part is that I bet things like that happen in real life. I've heard that if I go to New York with a "Yankees Suck" T-shirt, I'll be killed.
This is kind of sad. I'm pretty sure that Ruka didn't hate Shattered anymore either, since hatred recedes over time, and I had been working on Ruka a while ago.
Hyacinth and I fell in love. XD
Oh my God, it looks as though Cloud can see up her skirt.
There are more pictures where that came from. I'll post the rest either tomorrow or later tonight.

The Seasons expansion is being released for Mac later this month! I guess that wasn't too long of a wait...
I haven't sat down with my Sims in quite a while... maybe this will get me back to them again.

Jeez, Shattered gets screwed over in a lot of these pictures.
After a few hours, Shattered and Shelleh ended up falling in love again. I'm not sure why Arki looks so mad. I think that Touga was being mean to her again. (Why is everyone so mean to her...?)
Ruka had been ignoring Shelleh the entire time, but of course he suddenly decides to Serenade her as soon as she kisses someone else. Then he proceeded to ignore the woman he has two children with for the rest of the time that I was there. He and Yasha got along great, though.
Unfortunately, Shattered and Yasha also got along great, and Shelleh still hasn't taken her Anti-jealousy potion.
Mrs. Ohtori~! I'm surprised at Juri. She rejected Mrs. Ohtori!
Touga made me cry. That was rude of him.
... Have I mentioned that the Shiori clones jog by my house naked before? I think that I got the idea from Lady Nilamarthiel's Sim. Was it her Sim that had a nude meditation hour? I figured that that meant that his Work Out clothes were nothing, which meant that he would jog outside naked. From this, I decided that the Evil Shiori Clones should do that. In this picture, we have an evil Shiori clone stretching outside their house, and Juri going, "WTF?"
I never realized what a bastard my Touga Sim is. He's made like, three or four people cry. Maybe more.
Divine justice, I guess.
Yasha and Ruka were hanging out for quite some time.
Then A Day Without Me (who I miss, since she hasn't been posting lately,) passed by. It looks like he's staring at her breasts, but really he's just sad because he got fired from his job as a Space Pirate.
Cloud needed a time out, too.
The things that go on in the background in these pictures are kind of amusing. Kozue's mopping up a puddle from a water balloon, and I'm not sure what the hell Shattered is doing.
"Huuuuuuuug me."
Seraphitus was talking in that mirror for four hours in real time. I found it to be quite realistic.
Calice passed by at some point too.
Shattered when crazy. I'm not sure why. I was busy watching Calice and Seraphitus.
o _o
Only Shattered can see the Therapist. He's actually shaking his had right now. That's why Shiori thinks he's crazy in the background.
This picture... I can just imagine myself chasing after Ruka on roller blades yelling, "Get back here!"
They all kind of suck at roller blading.
Calice has a gameboy. I don't remember giving that to her, since none of my Sims have one.
She was dodging a water balloon.
Well, that's all. And sorry again, Shattered.

It's been a while since I last looked at this thread, I see my daughter somehow got my gameboy, I wondered where I put the damn thing *heh*

Sex & The Sims
interesting article on why the "casual" gamer plays The Sims.

It took some work, but I got some really awesome pictures of Nanami's Rose Groom's duel with Mikage!
Mikage kind of looks as though he's taunting NRG. I stuck Nanami in Movie-Anthy's dress because regular Anthy's Rose Bride dress would make Nanami a floating head at the moment. I think that I need to redownload it.
"Watashi hate naru kuusou seimei tai..."
*Stabbed?*
Nanami looks kind of bored in the background there.
PWNED.
Aww, poor Mikage.
Misc.:
Lady Nilamarthiel: "Wow, it's raining!"
Vincenzo walked by Juri, Shiori, and Kozue's house. He looks so much like his father that for a moment I thought that he was Akio in a suit. I can't remember what I kind of hairstyle I was supposed to give him so that he wouldn't look so much like Akio...
Offline
But uh...Juri, Shiori, and Kozue's house? I think my son's barking up the wrong tree here.
Offline
And according to his thoughts, he's after Juri.
... Or perhaps this is a well-laid plan to get to Shiori?
Either way, it's awesome. Nanami doesn't look half bad in that dress.

You're probably right about that. But it's not just their house... Almost all the girls in town live there because I haven't kicked them out yet, and Akio, Ruka, Mikage, and Touga where all hanging out on the front lawn when he passed by. Their house is where the party is always at.

He was checking out Kozue before I took the picture, but he stopped to wave hello to Juri. (I just noticed that I got the lawn flamingo in the picture...)

Sure. But it might take a while, since I'd like to wait until I have more free time to play The Sims again. (The pictures I took of Nanami's Rose Groom took up a lot of time.)

Huuge thanks and hugs for you, Razara. I can't believe that shitbag stabbed me, as I was learning on Thursday on my sword fencing classes, how to avoid and parry such strikes. I must be a noobzor . I also still wonder, how you managed to make them stand in these positions

I just find it amazing that you still managed to win after getting stabbed. I also find it interesting how the rules of the duel could permit a person to be stabbed, but losing your rose is the only way you can lose.
As for how I did it, I just had to take down the house, put in two pirate ships in, and then use the move_objects on cheat to move them up to the dueling arena. They're actually just fighting two puppets, but I moved them so that they're facing each other. The only pose that I manipulated was Mikage in the last picture, and I used the Reaction Tester cheat thingy to make him sigh.

As they say... OH NOEZ!
The Sims 3!
Computer hardware requirements are beastly, however. I wonder if you'll be able to import all of your Sims 2 sims and lots?
Of course, no mention of a Mac version. Not that my humble MacBook could run it anyway.

I'm definitely not ready for Sims 3 yet. I remember my shock when I saw the preorder up for it at Best Buy a month or two ago. Particularly because at that point, I was only just discovering Apartment Life existed. Speaking of which, I got that for Christmas and really should get around to backing up my game and getting and the 2 stuff packs I got loaded up finally.
For the foreseeable future, I'm not buying Sims 3. Sims 1 didn't have much of what I wanted, but Sims 2 gave me just about everything I desired. From the things I've read about 3, it's just not going to add much to the way I personally play for awhile at least. Besides, my Smythes wouldn't exist there. It was the very first family I made the day I got my game (which was day of or within a couple of days of release.)

Yeah, I have no complaints about Sims 2. I still enjoy mine with Seasons very very much.

Until my PC won't be able to support Sims 3, I'm staying with my Sims 2...

I've been following The Sims 3 pretty closely since it was announced, and the only thing I don't like so far is how Sims lives develop around you. It'll be like, "Okay, Keiko and Utena got married and had a kid. What the hell did I miss?"
Offline
I'm not a big fan of the new faces on the Sims 3, they all look to be rather similar to me. A more integrated neighbourhood would be nice but the whole autonomy issue is a totally different kettle of fish (lol @ Razara, but srsly if my sims die or cheat or summat when I'm not looking I shall be pissed).
Anyone seen some of the more...'adult' Sims skins? XO
