Delia's (Not) Gone: Delia Torrez's Story.

Even if you actually read the Torrez background posts, you might only have a hazy recollection of the teen lesbian who painted, did Carlos's homework for him, then ran off to college.

This here's her story.  And, for the most part, it's cheat free.  SSP and other mods abound, however.

Where am I going with this?

Wherein I navelgaze about what I plan to do with this blogthing.

In case it hasn't been painfully obvious, for the most part, I'm doing these recaps way after the fact.  Which is not to say I haven't been playing.  I have, so I'm only getting farther behind.  I'm thinking of starting a new challenge/story from scratch just to feel what it's like to post as it happens, or closer to it anyway.  In the meantime, updates on the other families will continue, as I race against my own impatience.

I also plan to reformat some of the family readmes, and put up the downloadable sims on seperate per-family/story posts -- complete with in-game shots & Clean Installer screencaps.  I also want to get a decent resources post up, which requires a bit more bookkeeping insofar as CC.

So if it appears I haven't been very active, it may be because I've been poking around behind the scenes.  Spare patience is appreciated -- since it's a virtue I sorely lack.

It's the end of the world as we know it: The McCormick Family.

I was kind of spellbound by the Apocalypse Challenge.  Once I saw it, I knew I would end up playing it.  I also knew I'd screw it up royally.  Which I did, pretty damn quickly.  To be clear: this is a failed challenge.  It's a testament to the fun of the challenge that I'm still playing it, and starting up a new one.
 

Keeping Up With the Torrezes pt. 2

Welcome to the second installment where I give some more background into the lives of the Torrez household.  Caveats from the first post apply here as well.  This one will be somewhat short.  I consider this a good thing, as it means I can switch to more current affairs.


Let's go.

Keeping Up With the Torrezes pt. 1

This is a not-so-short "The story so far".  Not many pics, as I mostly took videos at the time, utterly unaware that with the default settings, said videos were about the size of a postage stamp.  And without audio to boot.

For the record, yes, I cheated.  In particular, I went a little crazy with the money cheats.  (Now I don't even know what to do with the money.  Ugh. lol)

There will also be a lot of aging "quirks".  The mother downs elixirs of life like alcoholics down booze.  On top of that, I've never really been good at keeping track of different playing times, or even wanting to.  So once someone goes off into college it's anyone's guess who I'll play, and in what order.  I know others do a lot of bookkeeping.   I am not one of those people, though I might make an effort at it one day.

Anyway, let's set the stage.

The Xyn Household: Chpt. 1, pt 2: The Quest for a Thrall to, well, enthrall.

Second installment, and we're still looking for a Thrall because Sever can't find his way to Orgrimmar has to build up his relationships before people can move in.  He needs to gain their trust, you see, before he can brutally betray them...


Of course, this means:

Say "Hola" to the Torrezes. Or else.

Ah, the Torrez  Family.  They fucking OWN Desiderata Valley.  Make no mistake.  It was unintentional, but they've kinda spiralled out of control.  They were my first family ever played in Sims 2, and are still going strong.  I've even made a parallel version in Sims 3.

This section is under construction, I'll be adding to it over time, as I grab data from the different subhouses.  Nevertheless, I feel like putting it up, so there!
