gameplay notes

While playing the Mason-family, a few sim-days after Morgaine had given birth to her second child, my game crashed. For once I hadn’t saved in a while, so I lost quite some game-play. I made up for it, but while baby number two in the first try had Morgaine’s skin tone, it came out green like daddy on the second try. I played trough the second time on tripple speed, making sure to get them exactly where they were the first time, but decided to use the pictures I had taken on try number one. So, halfway trough this post, the second child will change appearance. Just so you’d know…

Morgaine continued to be the perfect mother all trough her pregnancy. Quality time with her family was on the top of her prioritylist so she insisted they all spend some time together whenever they could. Morgaine read every childrensbook she could find to her baby girl, hoping this will make her love literature as much as she does.

Faith took the loss of her second husband quite hard. Luckily, she had her daughter and future grandchild to fuss about, it kept her mind of things. But at night, when everyone was asleep, she often went out to the family cemetary to mourn her lost loves.

I am in the proces of installing wordpress on my brandnew webspace and will be moving all of my old post onto the new blog. The transition will be smooth for you, my dear readers, as I will be keeping the same URL (the .tk is a redirect name), so one day in the near future, you will just see that this blog has a different theme and that I announce that it has moved.

But it will take me some time to redo all the posts, the text I have copied into a text-editor, but I have to redo all the pictures that are in them, so it won’t be all at the time.

Should anyone have some tips as on how to make this move go smooth, please, tell me!!

Untill then: Keep reading, there are three new posts waiting to be published!

Morgaine was a happy toddler, a clever girl and a good student both in high school and in college. She grew up in a happy home with a mother that loved her and a father that adored her. To him, as much as he loved his sons, she was his “real” child, the one he helped to raise, the one he changed diapers for, tought to talk, to read and to do her homework.
Morgaine loved her parents as much as they loved her, but still, she found it quite confusing that the other child growing up in their home was not the child of her parents.

Gaheris never had a happy childhood. He had everything a little boy needed and Faith took good care of her fosterson, but he never felt the love like Morgaine did. To Faith, the boy reminded her too much of her late husband, to Luc, he was the symbol of the man who took his Faith away from him. The only one who truely cared about him, seemed to be his baby-stepsister Morgaine, who was years his junior.

Once faith and Dorian had moved back home, life turned into a roller coaster for the bride-to-be. Her mother seemed to have taken over het life, shopping for every essential she claimed a young woman needed before her wedding.
Faith tried to explain they wanted to wait a little more, but Jennifer didn’t listen. One day, in all this madness, Faiths old boyfriend, professor Luc, came to her house. They hadn’t seen each other in years, but as Luc proclamed his everlasting love for her, Faith, who had serious doubts now that her life seemed to be ran by others, also started to feel the old spark again. Before they knew it, they were making out in the front yard like their life depended on it!

Last time we left the Mason household, Faith was but a mere toddler. Due to this players boredom with the happy family, I played them in tripple speed and didn’t take a lot of pictures, so there won’t be a lot of pictures on her childhood.

Not long after her daughter’s toddler birthday, Jennifer found herself to have the same cravings she had had two years earlier. A trip to the doctor’s office confirmed her suspicion: she was expecting again!!

Before exams and leaving on vacation, I had played the Mason family (my uni-LC family) for quite some time. I have a big update ready but am going to write it in three parts, to make it more readable AND to give me some time to play up some new material.
So: after a very, very long absence, tonight the next Mason update will be online!!
