Sims Home Building
My brother recently moved into his new and first home! He’s been busy fixing it up and doing everything the right way, so to celebrate, I created a replica of his home on Sims 2, because I love making homes in Sims.
The hardest part was building the modular stairs because the stairs that come with the game are the straight kind. You have to do some mod work to get around it and it took some research and patience. It’s not perfect, there are floors that can’t be built on, as you can see on the top floor, but….oh well. There are loft areas in the house now! hah.
This took me about…6 hours total. Time flies @_@.
Here are some, and you can see more if you click.
The front
The side
The family and dining room. Or was it living…I get those two messed up. What’s the difference anyway? I gave my brother a nice mahjong table, a bookcase because he likes to read, a piano, a silly violin in the corner (in case, you know, you want to smash something), and I actually like the couch. The dining table is long with a long runner rug because he said he was looking for a rug at Ikea.
The kitchen, viewed from the living room. I’ve always liked pots hanging from the ceiling. The wood is the darkest Sims had without being black. The closets on the left are supposed to be large cabinets but they don’t really have big cabinets in Sims so I improvised. The TV has plants in the back because that’s how he said he wanted to do it @_@. Make more room for a bigger tv.
This is the top floor, the master is on the right. Just a couple design ideas. The umbrella is the focus on my design. And the disco light ball. Also got him a big plasma tv on the wall. The closet has clothing strewn around the floor. The kids rooms have appropriate beds, like the coffin bed at the top left.

Twilight
This past week I have been engrossed in a book series called Twilight. I’m a little embarrassed, really, because these books are in the Young Adult section, but maybe I had been missing out on this kind of stuff? Not that there really are vampires…
And besides, is it “young adult” because the main characters are in their teens? Romeo and Juliet were very young as well but those books are in the literature classics section.
Another embarrassing point is that is IS about vampires and people that shift into wolves. I’ve been drooling over a fictional vampire character that doesn’t exist and will never exist…the perfect, protective, intelligent, beautiful, intuitive (since he can read minds), athletic, sensual man.
or…boy.
He’s stuck in his 17 year old form.
sigh.
I would read the first book again many times, because that is when the human girl, Bella, and the vampire, Edward, first meet. It’s heart-wrenching and cute. The second book is pretty blah since I wasn’t interested in the love triangle with a guy that really didn’t pose a threat. I loved the third book. The fourth book was really long, less cute, and more dramatic.
Overall, I recommend this book series to any woman or girl who enjoys the feeling of having her breath taken away.
And I don’t usually read romantic books, so I have none to judge this to, but there is adventure as well. It’s not alllll starry eyes.
Sneak peek at my week
I don’t have much time right now because I have to get ready to head out and being a girl I have to get ready. Here is a quick look at things I did this week.
- Decided that lecture<discussion since I can barely understand the professor and he’s just teaching out of the book
- Reading the Twilight saga and I am officially only interested in mysteriously broody, charming, mind-reading vampires. Teeeeeeeam Edward!! Drooooolz
- Went to an Angels vs. Yankees game this Friday. Only highlight was listening to the females swoon over A-rod as he took off his helmet and walked towards the crowd to greet fans with a huge smile. I also got to see him hit a home run during the game with my own eyes! @_@ <–these eyes.
Embarrassingly enough, the picture I took that I thought was A-rod was of someone else. Hey, it’s hard to target someone at 5x zoom. At least he was at the edge of my picture -__-”.
