Hello, my fellow Simmers, writers, and readers!

I realize the title of this post is stating the obvious since I haven’t had any content up since late September, but…yes, I’ve been away. I haven’t been physically away although a vacation cruise would be wonderful around this time since the weather here is getting colder – something I never look forward to every year but seems to happen (at least to my perception) earlier and earlier. I do assure you that all is well, and life is sailing along. It’s been sailing at a very fast clip these days, but thankfully, there haven’t been any major obstacles to traverse.

My Sims 3 game, however, was a different story. Don’t worry! I didn’t lose any content and nothing was seriously wrong. The major thing I had to contend with was my Library folder (sometimes called the Bin),, which, as you probably know, is where all the families, households, houses, and community lots are saved. Well, mine was an absolute disaster area! I figured out how to install and rename houses and such without having to use the launcher. This means a few extra steps to do with a couple different programs, but it’s well worth it. Anyway, long story short, I ended up with some duplicates because I had the renamed version and the gibberish name the game generates when it’s installed the conventional way. Like I said, it was a huge mess with the thing taking forever and a day to load. I’m getting it to how I want it now, but it took some doing. I still have a few more things to replace, as it’s a matter of going into the save file and saving the household. Thankfully, everything is backed up, and I have backups to my backups. 🙂

Now that I have this done (for the most part), I can focus on publishing new story content. I’m so excited about that because I miss my characters and writing for them. I hope you all have missed them as much as I have and are excited to see them again.

Have a SimTastic day, give your Simmies some love, and above all, be kind to one another.
