Rad's Sims Stuff

New Taken and Kingsfield

Rad — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:43:21 +0000

Sorry everything’s taken longer than expected; work was pretty hectic last week, my gaming computer had to go back to the repairers after they failed to fix it last time they had it, and yeah, life and stuff.

Anyway, new Taken: 39. Encounter and three new Kingsfield posts, a prologue, When You Least Expect, a Behind the Scenes, Meet the Jolina-Mosses and Keatons and a new ‘regular’ chapter, Beginnings.

There will be updated house tours and biogs next week (along with more Dayes, I hope) – am away at the moment and relying on flaky public wifi and my netbook.

New Kingsfield!

It’s time to meet the Goths in their Prologue: This wasn’t in my dreams. I’ve also started Building a university.

Expect Taken within the next couple of days, then another Kingsfield prequel later in the week. Hoping to update Dayes at the weekend or early next week.

New Taken!

Join Bryan and Esther in 38. Inside the Council. Another update due some time this week, possibly the weekend (trying to prep a few in advance so the postings can be more regular).

Expect the first stories from Kingsfield within the next week or so as well.

New Dayes!

Can you tell I’ve had a week off work?

Things will slow down a bit from next week, I expect, but for now, here’s a new Dayes of Our Lives update: F is for Fantastic, right?

Sim site of the month: Ani’s Dwelling

Rad — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:35:50 +0000

I’ve linked a few TS2 hoods on here before, but there haven’t been many people doing hood blogs in TS3 yet. Ani’s Dwelling has been a real pioneer in this area and I’ve really enjoyed reading Ani’s blog about how the sims in this hood are managed, and how the different things like finances, loans and businesses are micro-managed. It’s been really useful for thinking about how I might run Kingsfield and I’m really impressed with how thorough it all is. You can read the latest updates on the new site, but it’s also worth checking out what happened before on the old site. Lots of food for thought here!

Welcome to Kingsfield!

At long last, Kingsfield is here! I’ve been waiting to get this off the ground since Sims 3 was launched, pretty much, and have actively been waiting to launch it for over a year. But now OP and RK and my PhD are over, I finally might have time!

Kingsfield is my neighbourhood blog – I’ve just settled a whole load of sims in there and the blog is going to tell the stories (and the behind the scenes action) of their lives. Right now there’s not much up over there but there will be soon – there’ll be a mix of behind the scenes updates and story updates. I’m really looking forward to getting to know these sims, tell their stories and play a whole hood.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all enjoyed the festive season! You may have noticed some unfamiliar faces in my banner header (although you will actually have seen a couple of them before if you’re really eagle-eyed). All will be revealed this weekend, I hope.

Oh yes, a new project is on its way now that Operation: Population and Rainbow Knights are over (or kind of over in the case of RK… heh heh heh)

But whilst I am very excited about the new project, I haven’t neglected my other projects. Looking forward to some heavy Dayes-playing this weekend and I’ve got a few more chapters of Taken up my sleeve – one of which you can read now:37. Contemplation. Expect another chapter this weekend and one more next week…

Expect another site recommendation imminently too (apologies for the lack of one in December).

Operation: Populated!

Rad — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:07:42 +0000

After 65 chapters, 26 births and innumerable glitches, Operation: Population is over. You can read the final two chapters: 64. Running a Sanctuary and 65. Bidding a Farewell now. Thanks so much for reading – I’ll miss Bebe and Asa a lot but I am very excited about the new projects I have up my sleeve…

Festive fun: Christmas Day

Rad — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 21:34:47 +0000

Happy Christmas to all of you from me and my sims, and here’s our present to you – a white Christmas. Rainbow Knights reaches its climax in 10: All White Now.

I’ll be back with you before 2011 is out with at least one more story update, but for now, have a wonderful festive time.

Festive fun 2011: Day 4
