Spotlight on Ransom Clavell
July 17th, 2009
Oh, Ransom Clavell. *fans self* This is the first time that I think I've actually gotten a little crush on one of the pre-made Sims characters. Granted, once I managed to make him part of Katriss' family, I had to tweak his facial features a wee bit with "editsim" (i.e. made his nose smaller, slimmed his head, shrunk his eyes down from anime-proportions, etc.). He was like a diamond in the rough; I just polished him up a bit. 😉 I even went the extra step of saving a copy of him in the Sim Bin so that I can make another character if anything ever happens to this version. Yay!
Anyway, now I want to play show-and-tell with the newly remodeled Ransom. So, please humor me as I gush on about this guy.
Sims 3 Tales, Part 3
July 15th, 2009
Ethyn stopped by the public pool after work one day hoping to waste some time before a big interview that he had at City Hall later in the evening. He thought it quite strange that only men were there. Not a woman to be seen anywhere. Hmm… The guys were nice though and he had fun. It had been so long since he spent a carefree afternoon not moping about Katriss and their ruined relationship.
(I thought it strange and funny too. Seriously, there was not one female on the lot while he was there. By the way, he's one of the guys who was holding his breath underwater. He was challenged to a contest, which he lost. But then, he has not athletic skills at all so that makes sense.)
Sims 3 Tales, Part 2

Ethyn: "WTF? My girlfriend cheats on me with Ghost Boy and now I'm supposed to take care of their spawn? I'm a famous news reporter. This isn't supposed to be my life."
And, thus begins events that will push Ethyn closer and closer to a mid-life crisis. Poor Ethyn!
Sims 3 Tales, Part 1
July 11th, 2009
I have pictures for you! Probably not what you hoped for, but I've been playing the Sims 3 lately. And, yes, I made Sims 3-versions of Emily and Edmond as well as Julian and Viktor. I think they turned out pretty well for Sims 3 sims. They will be moving into the neighborhood soon. So, you'll be introduced to them eventually.
Oh, and if you're curious about what I think about the game, I've included a short review at the end of this post. If you could care less, then don't read the last page. Simple! haha
But for now, meet Ethyn Regret and Katriss Nemod. (You may notice that the sims have different skins throughout the following pictures since I was trying to pick which one was my favorite. I've ended up using Aikea_Guinea's default eyes and skins. Also, I got a new graphics card halfway through so the quality may shift a little too.)
Ethyn is based on one of my dolls (doesn't look anything like the doll, but whatever…) and is Alec Regret's (from Worlds Apart) brother. He's an actor, but the closest career choice available for him was Star News Anchor. At least he's famous and on TV!
New Fan Art
May 27th, 2009
I got the most wonderful surprise in my inbox yesterday: the lovely Kat sent me some beautifully awesome fan art featuring Emily and Edmond. Because neither of us could choose which version of the picture we like the best (the warmly-tinted version or the cool-tint), I've posted both of them. I've also posted them to the fan art page.
Thank you so much, Kat! It's so cool to see your interpretation of my characters. I love your work! :XO:
