Title: Updates! Get 'em while they're hot!
Post by: reggikko on 2005 August 11, 15:55:25
Yeah, I'm spamming the forum. For anyone who's interested, I just updated my Yearley Legacy. Chapter 4a: Sympathy for the Devil, The Musical. Chapter 4b: Julius' Story.

Good news indeed. I'll go right over there. I need to read the 'addiction' story again anyway, that one has me in stitches, no matter how often I look at it (her).


Edit: Well, after picking myself off the floor and trying to catch my breath, I can only say this: I laughed so hard, 'my get up and go, got up and went'. You got some patience there girl, loved them both. It must've take you quite a while to get all these lyrics together. I'm also quite sure that Edgar would forgive you, the poor man did not have enough humor in his life anyway. I can go by his grave and offer some flowers though, just in case :D

Rated both of them, and wish I could go higher. Come to think of it, I rate everything of yours highest, you must be good.

reggikko, It's just awesome! Rated you 10 out of 5...:).

Boy, you have the patience to build a plot...I would never do that...:).

Reggikko, you have a gift.  ;D I usually can't stand when people use song lyrics to make a story, but your choices were delightful!

Thank-you. I wasn't sure if it would work or not. In fact, I'm still not sure! <g> It took twice as long as writing a regular story, though, so I won't be doing that again at any rate. I figured people will either really like it or REALLY hate it.

And thanks to Gali and Gabi! It's great having some fans. :-*

Reggikko-

All your stories are great!! You get great pictures to go with the stories too.

They most certainly are great.Reg,  I'm glad you finally put a link into the forum, your stories are great picker-uppers. Like I said before, whenever I need a quick giggle, I go to your 'addiction' legacy and look at a certain picture. How you manage to get these  shots I'll never know.

That reminds me, I need another starter home (no, it's not a hint...honest. I like your basement one, I have several of them in my home-village). I hope maxis has left your houses alone, why would they take things off a persons personal page is another thing I don't understand.

I read your stories and wish I hadn't missed the previous chapters. They're really great.

I keep getting lots culled too. For me it's because I re-uploaded after hack checking - I didn't know so much in the early days - and no-one has rated the lots. So any lots that are rated 3 stars or less - I think - are culled every now and again.

I am reduced to begging for ratings when I post lot threads at variousimmers.  :-[

I didn't know that witch. I love your stuff, even though I can't use the bigger lots, my computer would go on strike. I did get your terrain though, and its great. I must make a note to myself to go and check your official site uploads. You deserve better than a 3-star rating, in my humble opinion. See, I rarely go to the exchange, I didn't even think that you had anything there (I don't know why I thought that, but that's beside the point:D).

Oh my. 4b ;D. The partner & I almost died laughing.

Didya notice in Chapter 1 you put the photo of the girl burglar in twice, instead of the boy burglar the first time? Or was that the deliberate mistake to check we were watching?

I had several houses that were rated 4 stars that were culled. It is frustrating, to say the least. I'll have to remember to visit your page (and rate) often. Your lots are simply stunning.

Glad y'all liked it. I went back and checked and it is the guy burglar in the first pic. He just looks like he's wearing eye makeup or something.  ;)

Oh my GOD I almost peed my pants. *giggle*  My husband says stuff like this all the time. Does that mean we are old? LOL

Reggiko, just read some of your stories, including the song lyrics one. I didn't know I knew so many old song lyrics! Brilliant. I like the addict story best so far. This is way better than actually working at work. ;)

It's the breasts that confused me. Uh... unless they're supposed to be pecs?

Chapter 2 of my Addicts Legacy is up. I've been a writing fool the past few days, hence my scarcity here.

Luv ya Reg. --off to read about my favorite romance sim--

Edit:
Lord love a duck. You have a talent there alright. I don't think anyone can do it quite like you Reg. I was about to go out, and put it off until I could read your story...it was well worth it.

Thanks, Gabi. So, what's your guess as to who will be the heir?  ;)


Title: Re: Updates! Get 'em while they're hot!
Post by: veilchen on 2005 August 14, 00:32:23
I'm sort of rooting for Isis; only because she would be the best choice to compliment your vast talents, she is so wickedly funny.

Although, I wouldn't put it past you to get a magnificent story going with even the most boring character. :D Anyone who can make fortune sims sidesplittingly funny, as you did in your Legacy story, most certainly can do the same with any other sim, whether they start out boring or not.

hehehe...if it was me I'd obviously make Babylon the heir cuz she's so purrrty.

But then I have that psychotic aversion to ugly sims LOL


Title: Re: Updates! Get 'em while they're hot!
Post by: baratron on 2005 August 14, 15:20:52
Heh. So who were the "lucky" 20 sims? Were they all pictured?

The roll call of shame!

Yes, I think I pictured them all. Let's see:
(Playables) Dorian (the husband), Nervous Subject, Loki Beaker, PT 9 Smith, Jenny Smith, Johnny Smith, Ophelia Nigmos, Goopy, General Buzz, AJ Loner.
(NPC's) Daisy the repairlady, Jan the mailcarrier, Andrew the Headmaster, Prof Crystal, Jess the pizza deliverator.
(Townies) Gerard, Renee, Cooper, Orlando, Matthew.

Yep, that's 20. Most of them fell in love simply through pecking on the couch. She made out with a few when she rolled wants to make out with X number of Sims. The only extra woohoo was with Nervous, but I'll probably let her and Goopy have a go for the comedic angle.

Bingo! She's my favorite of the three. And hey, why shouldn't the mean, less than pretty lesbian *not* be the heir, right?  ;)

Babylon was very tempting, but Isis is my favorite. I do have other plans for Babylon, though. You will see her again.

Ooooh, I'm glad it's Isis. Her attitude is hilarious, and unfortuante nose or not, she's got a great face.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment of whichever one you update. They're all wonderful. The only downside to them is that they're making me want to play Sims2 more and start putting together photo stories on them... rather than actually working on any of the novels I'm writing. Whoops!  ;D


Title: Re: Updates! Get 'em while they're hot!
Post by: veilchen on 2005 August 15, 00:22:50
I'm hoping you go with her Reg. You have the uncanny ability to turn those characters into winners. I even became quite fond of Aphrodite, and I love your legacy heiress, nose-challenged and all.
