In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In Which we talk about Sims stuff

 Hello and good morning, everyone, happy Friday, and I wish you the best! How is the weather where you are? Here, I'm fortunate to say Winter is approaching, because my fan is breaking down, and my AC unit is in need of maintenance, how awful is that? I mean, the fan is doing a very weird loud noise, we (me and mom) tried to put some oil to see if it helped, well, it did not... so that's a problem. Fortunately, the bedroom in which I find myself now has more wind flowing than my previous one, so it is not necessarily that bad, doesn't mean I don't like fans, just means I'm not sweating like a mad man.

I played some The Sims this morning, I reached 100k simoleons and sold my previous residence to buy a bigger terrain and build another home in it, a big one, in mediterranean Style, with some morrocan (moroccan?) touches to it, because that's the new Kit that is out for the sims, sunny oasis yard! The Sims can be fun, when you have goals in mind and when you build houses in it, super nice to see them getting out of paper, seeing them work, and so on. The game can be boring as hell, but it can also be really fun! I feel bad turning autonomy off for my Sim, but the thing is, the game is bugged as hell with the autonomy mode on, the sim will bake like mad, throw paintings on the trashcan, and so on. Playing with autonomy off is like playing with virtual dolls. I like to think I don't exist and the sim is acting on his own, even if I'm controlling it, but anyway. I'm also considering getting Jungle Adventure and they announced a nice game pack that comes with apparently a new interior design career, now that's the thing I like! Building rich and adorned interiors on The Sims is really awesome, reason why I got the Morrocan pack so enthusiastically, I love those middle eastern inspired stuff, so beautiful! Has something of Rococo and Art Nouveau and Gothic in it, of course, as many western themes take some inspiration on the beautiful things of the east, that takes inspiration on things of the west, and so on, lovely! I wasn't expecting to write a post today, I wasn't feeling like it in the morning, oh the plague of "not feeling like it", it is a pain, I hate being a slave to my mind and feelings, this shouldn't be it, but anyway, my friend cheered me up, and now I'm up to the task that I'm almost concluding now! What's more, my blog will be 3 years of age in just two weeks! That's insane! I don't plan on celebrating too much, not because I'm down or anything, but because I like to do things I can keep up with, writing a story for the one year birthday of my blog is something I take proud in, it is an achievement, but I won't repeat it, not now at least. I could write a new story in the future, I have vague ideas in mind, but well, one step at a time, an idea that my friend absorbed. The post is getting long, so I should bid farewell. Wish you the best, again, and Have a wonderful weekend! See you all next week, hopefully on Monday and/or Wednesday!
