 I have been wanting to create a sim version of Alice for a while now, in this creation I have made her a modern teenager. I enjoy making this quick Sim, I also worked on a quick building. 



I decided to make Alice a little preppy in the screenshots below, I figure we mainly see her in one outfit so I explored other ones. I kept her hair the same throughout just so it resembles Alice somewhat.



I did create several outfits but the two above were my favourites. Below is the build mode I created, I just played around with size. Huge plants, small chairs etc. I really enjoyed this quick creation, I don't think I'll go onto gameplay with her but this as just something quick to do. 



I think my favourite part of this was magnifying the plants to give it a wild forest feel to the build. Have any of you created fictional places from books? I want to create more, but I am not very confident with Build Mode so I am just messing around with creations. I am not sure what I will be working on next but I don't think I will be playing Sims as much as I like to due to upcoming deadlines.

Sim Alice #2 Build Mode

Friday, 13 April 2018

When I first started playing Sim 4 build mode was a genuine nightmare for me, it took me a long time to actually get into it. But, now I know what I am doing (sort of) I have found things I enjoy building and decorating as well as parts that I don't.  I want to make this a series type of thing, and I want to start off with something I enjoy decorating and that is desks!

A person's desk can tell you a lot about them, so in game, I like to make my Sims desk reflect their personality as much as I can possibly do so. Plus it is cool the amount of desk clutter CC you can find online. I love playing around with different items. There is also a running theme with the majority of my desks, I love using the base game plumbob lamp. It is my favourite item in the game, I kind of want one in real life...

Meet the Burdick family








Lori Burdick 

Life goal: Nerd Brain
Traits: Quick Learner, Genius, Bookworm and Neat. 
She’s a scientist or at least trying to be but like all Sims she is starting from the bottom! She is all about learning and expanding her knowledge. She’s smart, attractive and independent. She met her now wife in high school, and once they left they moved in together all happily in love. 







Stacey Burdick
Life Goal: Painter Extraordinaire 
Traits: Muser, Cheerful, Art Lover, Family-orientated. 

Stacey is the creative one of out of the two, she doesn’t believe in buying other people’s art but filling their home with her art. She’s a cheerful Sim, which is useful for when Lori comes up grumpy. Stacey adores Lori even though she’s constantly working and trying to build on her skills. When Lori gets the day off Stacey is more than happy to drop everything to spend time with her loved one. Stacey wants a family with Lori, due to their lesbian marriage, they will have to adopt. Stacey doesn’t work, the plan is to be a stay at home artist to look after the new pup and eventually their child.









Burdick
Beagle, Puppy
Traits: Vocal, playful and Smart.



This is their dog to test if they’re ready for a child.  A little cute addition to the family. Stacey has always wanted children and Lori not wanting things to go so fast suggested they start with a puppy. Both Sims adore the puppy, even if it’s got quite a vocal character




So this is my newest Sim family, I am very excited to see how far I can with this lot. I'll be posting updates on the progress, I think the next Sim update post I will have built their house. I may try and video some footage too.

This isn't really a creative piece just a little post about the new app Pokemon Go. Firstly, let's begin with that I am practically obsessed with it. I played the Gameboy Games growing up, and I even followed them onto the DS and 3DS etc. This app is everything a Pokemon fan would adore, it's not only bringing back those precious childhood memories, it allows you explore your city and go searching in reality for all your favourite Pokemon, it also allows you to use and share the Pokemon knowledge you gained as a child, like finally something you can use that information for and look like a bad ass for doing so. I love the fact the weather, time and place effects the Pokemon around you, it is amazing. I find myself going on little walks just to reach the distances for my eggs to hatch, which is obviously good for my Pokedex but my health as well. It gives me a chance to geek out a little when my friend asks what Pokemon does the shadow belong to and I can reply instantly without a second thought. Since the release of this app, I think I have been seeing my friends and even some family members more due to our need to go out catching more Pokemon, finally something all my friends are practically involved in, thank god for Pokemon Go!  It is definitely a huge advance in the gaming industry, no doubt there will be more gaming companies jumping onto the virtual reality bandwagon! 
 
- My favourite catch so far is a Growlithe in my living room, yes I am incredibly lucky!

She's my favourite jigsaw.
I piece together her heart
As she pieces together my thoughts.
It's a game we play
But it's not love.

My lips her cheek
Her nose my neck
Her eyes my eyes
Together we make a picture.

Her body fits perfectly against mine
My arms hold us together
And she snugs to my chest
She fits into me and I hold us together.
But, it's not love.

Her skin my lips
Her breathing my heart beating
Her kisses my cries
Her eyes my soul.
My heart her teeth.
It's not love.

It's a game we play
Not love.

It's not love

I have become obsessed with The Sims lately, after spending hours of watching Sims gameplay and hearing my friends in college talk about it nonstop, I finally ordered it online. I'm currently waiting for it to be delivered, and the whole simulation world got me thinking. I've been wondering why myself (and thousands of others) have been drawn to The Sims like a moth to a flame.  I cannot speak for everyone of course, so I have contemplated he reasons why I am so drawn to it.

1) When you're creating Sims, styling them, picking their traits and more or less writing their destiny, it gives the feeling as though your the hand of God, and you have complete control.

2) Designing, I adore the whole making your home in buildmode part of the game. In real life I wouldn't be good at it probably, however on Sims I feel like I'm the best (big headed much) something about being able to place a wall here and allocate a window there, and picking every piece of furniture, it is exciting.

3) This I believe is the main reason for me being drawn to the Sims; Recreating myself, I like to create my future self. Everything I want to be, do and live I can recreate in the Sims. It's almost like a life plan but in a game, also I can make the Sim version of me ideally how I want to be as well as make their life way more interesting than mine.

So I thought I ought to share this with you guys, before the game comes and I spend hours in front of a screen (yes more than usual). Think about something you like, a game or a film and ask yourself why are you so drawn to it?

- Just a little piece that I wrote in the December of 2014 -

With you all it ever is or has been is a game of hearts. A battle and restrain. Sometimes good and thrilling but most of the time heart aching and painful. With our game of hearts it is never just one round, it repeats itself, and each and every time round someone always ends up feeling the wrath of it all. The first time it was just playful, but more and more unwanted players hopped on board and forced us the original players to break, we weren't ready.
Before we even tried we ended the game, I threw you away like another little broken piece. You were my little toy that I could have at my own beck and call. For about two years it was the same, started hopeful but ended messily, pushing and huffing. 
A test came to us, roughly two year ago, we went on a whole new journey, the game changed, it turned up a notch, it was thrilling. We were mysterious, it was just us. The tingling sensations we gave one another, we were alive. The little levels we went up, until you dropped the bomb. Shattered me, shattered me for good. The tables were turned, you found a new piece to play with, and I was the one thrown away like nothing. It teared me open, it made me numb, and I went crazy. My limits had be pushed, I didn't want the game to end but I had no choice.
I surrendered to my own little game, numbness cutting into me. I was alone, I felt betrayed. That was the start of my own little mind games, the game I seemed to play myself. Once the journey had ended, I was back at home base, and you weren't there. Not that I cared, I shut the rest of the players out. In the game of hearts, this time my heart was the one that was torn.
You came knocking on the board, explaining yourself. Ditching the old two year game for a brand spanking new five day player, well I torn once more, the board became flooded and I was done. I knew you were naive to think the new game was better and would last, and I was right.
Since then you tried, you attempted to force me back on the board, in the game of hearts your heart was chasing mine, I sank and I wasn't going to allow you to bring me back up. You begged for the rules to be changed, tried to add new players in the game to peak my interest, I had enough of the game. My heart got burnt and I wasn't risking a thing. You became obsessed, you petrified me, scared to ever roll the dice again, with you or anyone.
Despite my reluctance to the game, I still felt it play around my heart. My head wasn't in the game but I'd always knew my heart was trapped. Even after two years of hell I was prepared to restart the game.  I pushed all I had into the center, for a test run, I was willing to re,-enter my heart into the game. You were reluctant, excuses and diversions.
We started, you kept throwing obstacles in my way, you didn't allow our pieces to stand side by side and face the obstacles together. I gambled everything just for you to drop me, send every inch of my heart into all directions. A side player had to push the truth in your way for you to realize and well I had given up. The board was drowned once again, for the very last time. I put my guards up and found new players, players whom held me up, battled you off. The game of hearts ended before it even had begun, and I was the one whom was left to hurt, that game is buried, you sir fellow player have blown my heart into smithereens enough, you shall never get even close to being back into my heart, for us the game of hearts has ended.
