Strange things happening.

I have very strange things happening. I have sims being cloned. I have many sims aging to adult and ending up with the same hairstyle. Men and women. They are aging into the hair style Alicia used to have. I saw a sim one day in the park who was pregnant. The next day I saw her at the bistro, old. I knew I saw her from edit town view in her house with an old man but she was adult age and still pregnant at the same time she was at the bistro old. She also had the same hairstyle. One of the males aged to adult and now has the balding hairstyle.
My game has gone crazy. I don't know what to do. I've never had any of these things happen before.
Am I going to have to start over again?

Chrysame - Celia Pendragon

Celia's children are really popular on the exchange. Bryon (87) and Camille (93) have both done extremely well for downloads (for me anything over 50 is extremely well...) and now Darius(95) has popped up as one of my top downloaded Sims.

I still hope that someday Celia, Sam and their 3 children will reach 100 downloads. Not quite but so very very close.

I really need to reupload the triplets with proper pics. Henry did fine with 45 downloads but the other two missed out.

A request from Muleskinner

For those that have Muleskinner on the auto-email comment and new post list, he's just asked to be removed. I've asked if he really wants to be removed from new original posts but we should all remove him from auto-comments.

We can be pretty disgustingly chatty sometimes, I'm not surprised it's a bit much.

FYI - Culling

Did you see that EA is going to start culling the exchange?  Items will be culled after two weeks if they do not do well.  They do not specify their threshold to retain an item.

Still Here...

Yes, I still get all stories/comments in my email. Have been dealing with a snafu in my dashboard and/or email that's giving me double everything.

Grrrrr!

Anyway, don't be surprised if you see my cold/old stories go away too.

I've been trying to figure out the problem through google's help desk. A complete dump would be a last resort choice.

Hmm!

BTW, your stories and especially your photos and lot content (composition) keeps getting better and better all the time.

You rock!

New Sims

Per our chat on Dee's Freewilling Sims blog we're going to load some new sims to the exchange.  Perhaps three or so.  Some born in game Sims and a new creation if you're so motivated. 

List any requests for sims you've seen in each other's games.  Dee's Christi has already been requested.

I suggest that if the sims already have the same last name of some of our other characters (i.e. Grant, Walker, Lessen) that we give them new last names to avoid confusion.

Still attempting to get Indiana's neighborhood back on track

It's too quiet in blog land so I thought I'd tell you guys my plans for Indiana at the moment.

a) Turn off aging and sp NOW!
b) Let Judy have baby 3 (this is supposed to happen without aging on)
c) After the baby is born, travel the neighborhood.

I hope to get Bella Bachelor preggy with her boyfriend Malcolm before she turns elder.

I also plan on noting the born in games I do have. I may put out a call for small families with a teenager to meet up with some teens I do have in the hood - the Leman boys and Ernesto for starts

I may try to get some of the families back into town by moving one in with the Grants then moving them to a home. Then they can get the rest of the family to move in.

Delete some elders and especially anyone who shouldn't be around by now. I think Micheal Bachelor still thinks Jocasta is alive and she shouldn't be by now.

Then I will have put off the inevitable long enough - back to the Grants with aging back on for our farewell to Sammy. :(

Dee's Gym

Dee's Gym has been uploaded to the exchange. I was trying to post pics at the forum and wasn't able to for some reason. I'm posting them here and then I'll try to copy them to there.
