Alright, I totally don't get the Sims for the PSP, I thought it would be similar to the PC version just with less freedom, which is fine by me...

But that doesn't appear to be the case, it seems more like a mystery game, have to solve problems find people dead bodies and properly bury them so they'll stop haunting my house...that sort of thing

Which is fine, I'm always happy having some direction that I'm supposed to go in...the problem I'm having is how to keep my sanity/mood meeter up...it's completely drained right now and nothing I do seems to help raise it...and I find that really frustrating...

And I don't really think any of you out there will have any suggestions for me, since I think I'm the only one playing the PSP version...still if you have anything please! I'd be more than willing to hear. At the moment I'm just waiting for Hayden to have a mental breakdown and be taken away to the 'funny farm' so to speak...

I can never really enjoy a game if I don't understand all the workings of it, like how to improve her mood/sanity...I've got a nice house need money so I can get it decorated the way I like it. I'd like to be able to play more.

However when in doubt there's always Jeanne D'arc to fall back on which is nice to know...but at the moment I'm going to see if I can't get some writing done on chapter 10 of "Lift me Up did I mention this story's made it to 100 pages? ^_~ Always happy when that happens

I don't think he'll ever see this ^_~ but I don't care!

Went out to the Keg tonight had a wonderful dinner, I was actually hungry which was nice though I guess not all the surprising considering I hadn't really eaten anything yet today ^_~

I also decided that if I could find the Sims 2 for PSP previously played I'd pick it up. And sure enough I found a copy in Cobourg so I've started a character her name's Hayden...I thought it would start much the same way my mom's PC version did, so I thought I'd be given the option to create a guy for her too...If I'd known it was just one I probably would have chosen a male character...I prefer to play them.

But so far I'm enjoying it! and now I have three games to balance between playing ^_~

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

Jeanne D'arc

And of course ^_~

Sims 2

and I also want to get some writing done, I had some good ideas come to me yesterday while I was chatting with neekabe just haven't had a chance to put them to use yet ^_~

so I just now find out that I'm not going to the Keg tonight...but that mom and dad decided to do it tomorrow.

Tomorrow is dad's birthday so that's a good thing...he wants to hit a bucked of balls at the golf dome...not such a good thing...but I'll bring my PSP and play some Jeanne D'arc

I don't know why not knowing that until now irritates me so much...I don't want to be upset right now I was handling my day fairly well, and the last thing I want is to crash. I'd really like a night when I just remain the same...

Oh and I think the CBC has just reached a new low in their broadcasting...The Week the Women Went....ummm What the Hell?! oh well, not like I have to watch it ^_~

So now what?

more Jeanne D'arc? Some writing perhaps?

guess I'll just have to wait and see ^_~

Oh and I think I'd really like to get my hands on another PSP version of the Sims...I think I like the restrictions that exist in those versions over the freedom in the PC Sims *laughs* Don't give me absolute freedom it terrifies me ^_~

Mom was intrigued by my playing the Sims 2 Pets and decided she wanted to give the Sims a try and bout the Sims 2 Deluxe edition. It's installed on Tsume which means I can play it whenever I want.

I went onto it just to see if I could find some thing that mom was having a hard time finding and I did. I was party way through creating my Sims family when I don't know what crashed either the game or the computer but no matter the only way I could get things to work again was to shut the computer down.

Needless to say this wasn't the best first impression that the game could make with me. Although I find all the options and choices a little overwhelming ^_~ and I'm glad that I played a PSP version first. Other wise I think I would have been too intimidated to even give the game a proper try. As it stands I can give mom some advice on what to do, and where to find things. I know the set up won't be identical to the PSP version but that's alright.

I can tell already that she really likes it, she was just a little frustrated that she couldn't find where to create her own custom family. I've found that now so when she comes home she can have a fun time making her people, man do they ever give you a lot of options in how they look, and I love some of the women's formal wear ^_~ so taking a gown ^_~ can't help it ^_^

I started Jeanne D'arc yesterday ^___^ it makes for happy feet. I'll definitely enjoy playing this game I'm sure. I didn't get very far in the game because it was the last day I could get together with neekabe ^_^ and she's more important than a game any time!

Got to watch a litle more Doctor Who too, I just love David Tennant he's such an amazing actor! which can make certain parts of the show absolutely heart breaking. I'm not looking forward to seeing the season finale of season 2...I understand I'll no doubt be in tears...knowing that does nothing to prepare me though. But I will watch it ^_^

Tonight we're heading over to my uncle's to watch the Simpsons Movie on his theater system, neither of my uncles have seen the movie yet ^_^ I laugh so hard still watching it, and I could easily watch it a bunch more times ^_^ I think it's become an instant classic in out house. They really did an excellent job on it!

Well I think I've finished Sims Pets...or at least I've unlocked everything I can with the family I've been working on ^_^ Ahrum and Vailyn are in a three bedroom house! and the kitties Snowball and Coltran have two rooms for themselves, and hopefully Snowball will finally stop destroying my couches...don't know how many times I've scolded her for that...and she still does it. Especially when she's drunk on catnip.

So I've finally removed the Sims from my PSP and inserted Tales of the World so I can start it at any time now ^_^

We're getting our Christmas Tree this weekend, my sister's home today, and as I understand it, my brother and his wife will be coming down tomorrow or Saturday. So everyone will be here for it! Hooray!! It's always interesting to see how the kitties take to the tree. None of them have ever tried to climb the tree, thankfully! But Heero likes to try and eat the tree ^_~

We always make sure to keep unbreakable ones near the bottom just in case kitties start batting at them ^_~

Stupid Sims! Why do you have to be so bloody addictive?!

I mean really?!

I've had Tales of the World since Saturday, and I still haven't started it yet, cause every time I grab my PSP I start thinking...I should work on my Sims, what with their stupid pets suddenly not liking them ^_~

*sigh*

Not like any of this is a real problem ^_~ I'm occupying my time, and I always have a new game to fall back on.

And I found out a couple of days ago that mom's going to get me Jeanne D Arc It looks like it's a tactical game like Final Fantasy Tactics. What I always wonder about is how it will compare to Tactics, because Tactics really hit on perfection, and so I've played and enjoyed a bunch of tactical games, but none so far has compared to Tactics.

So now I'm going back to Sims *shakes fist* you shouldn't be so addictive! Its just not right! ^_~

Why the hell do my stupid pets suddenly stop liking me?!

I go through all the trouble of fulfilling their wants becoming best friends with them...and then all of a sudden all the points goes away, or worse still I end up in the negatives...

My brother thinks its a matter of keeping me busy, but this just doesn't seem right. Even the random characters that I make friends with don't drop all the points like this, they go down slowly giving me a chance to build it back up.

Very furstrating, yubsie i_paint_the_sky do you have any idea what's happening?

Also I now have my copy of Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology ^_^ haven't started it yet...am enjoying the fact that I have it...might seem strange, but then I've never denied being strange ^_~

Will probably end up starting it later today, it has a very thick rule book feenix I'm so lazy ^_~ I'm not even going to read it. If you were sitting in my house right now I'd just be bugging you about what all to do ^_~

The Is'nah family has moved into a 2 bedroom house, I've thought about getting another pet but just haven't found one at the pet store that I like yet. Been working up their goals...but Ahrum has a goal I'm not sure I can meet I have to beat a chicken at checkers...

So addicted to the game...only problem is I often forget to save, and yesterday I lost a lot of work. When I went to move from my bachelor home to the 1 bedroom house I realised I'd lost some of the items I'd bought. So when I went from 1 to 2, I made sure to sell off the items in the house that I'd just be getting more of in my new place. But it still wasn't enough I lost my wardrobe which just happens to be the one thing I can't buy a second of...so I had to reset.

I've been saving more today...got to keep in the habit.

hmmm Vailyn was abducted by Aliens!!!...I was trying to build up her logic with a telescope. In a side note I'm definitely getting a better understanding of the game, and how to progress my Sims. So yeah aliens...just what's going to happen now?

I really need to get a bigger house, had to inventory a lot of my stuff to make room for the items I need to promote my character's in their jobs.

Seriously though this game is way to addictive ^_~

But one the bright side it does give me something to do when writing isn't playing fair. And at the moment I know the scene, I'm pretty sure I know how I want it all to play out...but when I go to look at the story by thoughts scatter. Also concerned about writing this scene just right. After a buildup in the chapter before I want it to meet expectations.

So unfortunatley you might have to deal with the cliffy a little longer [Iz sorry]

PS I was aware that there were aliens in the game ^_^

So my Sims house caught fire twice...and this while I was talking with neekabe *laughs* I know why it happened there may be too much stuff in my small house, I can fix that. But I ended up having to shut it off so I could restart from my last save because too much damage had been done in the second fire.

In other news Snowball is the greatest kitty. So easy to please, so loving of her people ^_^ *huggles* Snowball! It was definitely the right move to make selling Lex...I never really considered the fact that a pet might be incompatible with the people. I'm not even sure that's what it was but it does make a little sense, they give the characters personalities and the animals.

In either case looking forward to more play tomorrow, and hopefully some writing. Today every time I looked at Lift me Up my thoughts just scattered...really rather frustrating actually. But hopefully tomorrow will be better *fingers crossed* I really honestly don't want to leave all of you waiting with this cliffhanger for too long if I can help it [whoo, was that a really roundabout crazy sentence? *shrugs*]

At least I'm ending today on a slightly up note

Well Lex is no more!!!

I don't now what was up with this dog but nothing I did was right, he was upset all the time and didn't like either Vailyn or Ahrum. So I finally got fedup! and sold his sorry ass!

I now have a kitty, her name is Snowball ^_~ [what Josh wants Josh gets] ^_~

This kitty too seemed to have a thing with feng shui...but I rather enjoy rearranging the furniture. So Snowball is getting on great with both my Sims w00t

But if she should start causing problems....*shakes fist*

^_~

PS NO DOGS!!!!

It would seem my dog Lex has a serious case of feng shui as it took me bloody forever to figure out where I could actually put his bed so he'd sleep on it, instead of tossing and turning on the floor while moaning dreams of a bed *shakes fist*

But all is straightened out now...found a cheat for Sims 2 Pet, on GameFAQ...but no matter how I tried it or how many times nothing happened. I'm not even sure what was supposed to happen. But now that I have a few of my frustrations sorted out I can continue on slowly building up my money so I can move my Sims' Ahrum and Vailyn Is'nah [couldn't think of a last name ^_~] into a bigger house!

And I've at least got chapter 9 for Lift me Up started, which is the hardest part, so *fingers crossed* I'll get some more written tomorrow!

My Sims' are no longer living in sin ^_~ I got their relationship up high enough for Ahrum to ask Vailyn to marry him. And of course she said yes, so now they're a couple trying to save enough money to move into a bigger house which I've unlocked...but I really think it's going to take as long as in real life ^_~

What makes this game so fun? I'm really? you're just moving people around during their average day, sending them off to work, talking to friends...maybe it's the power aspect of it? Their lives are totally in your control! Mwahahahahah

Oh did I mention despite setting him to genius status, it would appear as though I have the dumbest dog alive...I buy him a dog bed and he ends up laying on the floor dreaming of a dog bed....I just want to kick...but there's no option for that ^_~

I finally managed to pull myself away from the game, I'm going to see if I can't get even a little writing done today.

So as much as I was enjoying playing Kiefer and Yaigure, I was frustrated by the way things were going Keifer would have to go off to work and everything would be in fast forward and Yaigure would be unhappy and there was nothing I could do for him. And when Kiefer got home, there wasn't enough time to take care of both Yaigure's needs and Keifer's.

So I decided to once again start over with a family Vailyn, Ahrum and they dog Lex. I find this one the one hand a little more confusing trying to balance two characters but at least when Ahrum goes off to work I have Vailyn to pay attention to Lex...Now I have them living in the same house I got them a double bed...but are they actually a family?

And if not how to I make them a family?

This game is addictive, I had a very hard time putting it down today so I could try and work on Lift me Up so I can hopefully have a post for later today.

I'm still finding this Sims game confusing...hard to explain exactly why. I know what to do for Kiefer to keep him at least relatively happy. That little exclamation mark meter is mostly full but the little face isn't smiling...just looking blank.

It's my dog Yaigure that I'm more confused about, bought him a dog bed but he slept on the floor which did nothing to raise his sleep bar...he also wouldn't wake up.

And then there's the whole job think I still haven't had a chance to see how it all works. I am enjoying this, I just think I'd enjoy it a lot more if I knew the ins and outs of it. and is it common to have the craziest sleeping hours? I have no idea how to get him on a normal awake during the day sleeping at night. Doesn't it even matter?

Well that's how things stand right now, am taking a break at the moment to watch Shooter ^_^ Love that movie!

plus...can I be adorkable?

Well I was enjoying my new game >_<

And then there was some sort of glich and Dean couldn't move..I could still doing things in the game like renovate his house but neither he nor kyo could move ARRRG!!!

I hate it when stuff like that happens takes all the enjoyment right out of the game! Now I'm going to have to start all over...not that I was very far into it but still *Shakes fist* not knowing why something happened [so I can avoid it next time really pisses me off]

Edit: Dean is dead...new character is Kiefer Stross...and he'd better not piss me off or he's done too!! ^_~

Edit the second!: What the Fuck? you greet other sims on the street let them welcome you to the neighborhood and suddenly they think they have free access to my house?! Again with the What the Fuck?!

but this time it has entirely to do with the video game I picked up.

I got Sims Pets, and so far I'm really enjoying it made my character Dean Smith [Winchester was too long ^_~] and he has a kitty named Sohma Kyo ^_^ which is great I love doing things for both of them....

But I'm confused by a lot of the symbols that come up when one sim talks to another....I feel like I'm flying blind here ^_~

But still enjoying myself
