Milkshape Problem  
Hey guys, I'm finally all set up with my new computer, and sims runs like I never believed it would, it's awesome!
However, today when I decided to go back to making things I encountered this problem in Milkshape, and googling around doesn't seem to give me an answer. I've never has this problem before. 
Basically, there are specific vertices it just won't let me select and I don't know why. I tried exporting and reimporting, I even made a new file and created a box and it wouldn't select me vertices of that simple box. I'm out of ideas. If anyone has encountered and solved this please let me know ;_;

In the meanwhile, this is the house I'm making for Drew, her self-sim (as a plantsim) is going to live in my game and you'll see her in a couple updates. XD

It's a picture!  
Hello kids, today I don't bring you sim things, just a picture I wanted to share because I was so excited when I finished it today. I uploaded it to my tumblr but it didn't let me put the original size so I'm uploading here too. It took me about 4 days to make and I annoyed everyone at #gos with it. Special thanks to everyone for putting up with that.

In more interesting, sim-related news I'm getting my new computer next week and installing sims on it is top priority! I'll be able to make stuff again soon, hopefully.

A Question  
Hey guys, I have something I'm not sure if people would be interested. I have already shared it with my friends at #gos, but I figured I'd ask because it has some problems I couldn't figure out.

It's this hedgehog cage. I know someone already converted all the ts3 small pets into functional womrats, but my version is different:




- The hedgehog mesh has been modified slightly based on the bodyshape of my own hedgehog, and I did bone assignments differently (I had this done before the great upload from MTS, but I didn't feel like posting it). I also made recolors.
- The cage has been remapped to allow high quality textures (and has been retextured, of course)
- The cage has been edited to be placed anywhere. However, you will need the cheat moveobjects. It's because of this that the "watch" interaction fails, somehow. Sims can still pet it and feed it and clean the cage just fine, but the sim can't "watch". It's odd. I still prefer the cage to be placed anywhere but having these bugs as opposed to behaving normally and not having bugs.

So... what do you guys think?

Imgur hiccups and a WIP  
Hm, something happened with imgur this week and four random pictures got deleted. Good thing one of them was my banner (and yay for backups), so I could notice! Hopefully this was just a imgur hiccup and I won't have to deal with this again...
Anyway, the other day I was able to run the game long enough to make this gif to show this top I'm separating from an outfit by Fantasyrogue. As you can see there's still some clipping, those are the baggiest pants I have in my game, so I hope maybe someday I can get back to work on it.

Blargs and Blergs  
Well, I got a new cooling pad, but apparently my laptop keeps shutting down after about 10 minutes into the game. I couldn't even get to preview some tops I'm working on, very frustrating.

Does anyone have any tips on overheating laptops? Or any idea on what's happening? It's been so long and I'll finally some free time soon so I was hoping I could make and make some more cc ;~;
Maybe it's time to save some money for a big bad ultra desktop computer, since I've read rumors about zombies in ts3 and that sounds sooo tempting too!

Anyway, I will continue to posts things from the queue.
In the meanwhile, here's my pilot teddy bear.

What's up  
Hi guys, I just wanted to say that I've moved to a ~the big city~ about a week ago, and I haven't been able to load sims or bodyshop due to overheating problems. I have a cooling pad, but it died on me and it's fairly new so I'm trying to find a way to fix it. I guess I'm kind of stuck until the weather gets colder or get my cooling pad fixed.
I still have a bunch of uploads in queue that I haven't posted (really, a big bunch), so I'll be doing that for now, but please keep in mind I won't be able to provide much support for them soon enough. Hopefully everything will be okay, as I did test everything before uploading.

Anyway, that's all, have a picture of this pretty lamp I got for my new place.

About the old stuff.  
So, I'm preparing to archive the content from my old dreamwidth account because I can't bear the mess. I plan to link to my Mediafire folder, where I have also uploaded the master list that contains descriptions of everything. I'm not sure what to do with the previews though, as some are on tinypic and some others are on imgur and everything is mixed with wip pictures and non-sims pictures, and I'm definitely not interested in sorting those out since there are like 800+ pictures.
This is sort of heads-up if anyone is interested and wants to salvage stuff from the old dw without having to rummage through a possibly description-only, pictureless archive. I'll make a post here linking to my old folder on December 19th and then delete everything from my old dw, which is a week from now on. Also I'm open to suggestions, but I'm almost certain I just want to delete my old dreamwidth's posts.

Tumblr, but not about sims.  
Right here.
It's about my artwork, if someone is interested. Sadly, it's a very small collection and even sadder is that it's probably my best stuff.

In other, sims related news, I have a non-clothing update coming soon.
