TSR, oh how i've missed you!!
Hello TSR family! Happy new year! I have been gone from this site for far too long! My real life was supper stressful this past year as i was attempting to juggle my last college year, family responsibilites, and work all at once! I won't bore any of you with my list of rants but lets just say i am very happy this year is over and done with! I'll be taking the next few months off to focus on staying home with my little one who will soon be off to preschool in a few more months = bittersweet! Since my life will be slowing down to an easier pace i will have more time to play with my beloved simmies and create stories which as some may know is one of my favorite hobbies! I am almost done with the first part of a story i named,"Fragile, precious things." This story focuses on the crossing lives of young rich and famous sims living in the fictional sim version of Los Angeles, CA. I have many dramatic twists and surprises in store for you all, so stay tuned!! Check back to my page soon for updates!! Hope you all have a very happy rest of the week! ~J_girl87
Back & with a new story!
Hello everyone! Im back temporairly with a new sims3 story -"A troubled Marriage-Thornton & Morgana." I dont know why it hasnt posted up on the site link under 'stories'..? Maybe its something wrong with the site? But, Anyways just thought i'd share it here so anyone stopping by and interested will take a peak =) Im still fairly busy as the end of my college semester approches so i will update asap, promise! xoxo -Jari
Ok, so i Lied..
UPDATE - in my last post i wrote about how i still didn't have any interest in playing ts3 but i had some down time yesterday and decided to give it another try and i gotta admit,.. its growing on me =)
Creativity struck me and I made a whole new batch of simmies with a variety of personality traits and have them all living nearby as neighbors, its really interesting to see how they interact with one another! I might just have to make up another sims story soon ;)
Im also super excited that there seems to be alot of new cc coming out this week to help improve the look of the original game, i don't know what i would do without my c.c.! Both ts2 and 3 would be so dull without it! Much thanks to all the creators on this site, you guys really rock! -Jari
P.s. ~I finally got around to posting some new favorite pics in my gallery =) Check them out and let me know what you think! <3
Hello, im back.. quick update.
Hey every1! Hope everyone is enjoying there summer! No complaints on my end, i got back from vacation last week had lots of fun and experienced many memorable moments with my lovely family (My daughter is getting so big and i'm so amazed at how much she's learning everyday! Having a child is definately my greatest achievement in life. I'll post pics soon.) Oh and i started a new job which im excited about, higher pay than my previous one so thats def. a plus =)
As for my favorite hobby, sims, i still not amped about sims3 (its actually sitting on my shelf collecting dust as i type this) . I'm still sticking to sims2, havent really played much since the weather has been decent and im trying to soak up as much sun as i can before september comes along and its back to the same old routine.. school, home, work, blah, blah..
I am working on a new story however. a shorter series than my last but i hope you guys will enjoy it just the same. I should be done by sometime next week but maybe not.. we'll see. Well thats all for now folks, happy simming! -Jari
Sims 3.. Not happy.
Hey every1! So after much debate on whether i was going to go full blown sims3 or stay with my beloved sims2 verision i decided im not quite ready to give up on sims2 and will be staying with them for a while longer. Truthfully, I was a little disappointed at the sims3 game since i find the sims heads to be abnormally round and big.. particularly the females =\ I don't like any of the original clothing and the fact that there aren't any expansions to the game yet kinda bums me out to since there is such limited ways to play.. no buisness or universities for example. I probably wont be switching to TS3 till a few months when there it more c.c. made to improve the original game and apperance of the sims.. which yuck, desperately need improvement.
Anyways im currently working on a new sims story.. haven't got the definate storyline finished yet, just some the basic characters i want to use and etc. So expect a new series out within the next week or so.
Also, I wonder if any1 else is unhappy about a part of the sims3 like i am? I'm curious to hear what anyone else is thinking since in real life i don't know many people who share my hobby. Anyways, Happy simming every1! -Jari

I am currently finishing up part 7 and have the final chapter all planned out in my head, =0) i hope you guys will enjoy what i have planned for my dear simmies! Happy Simming to all! -Jari
On the fence about Sims 3..
So today i had some free time on my hands and did a little online surfing on the Sims 3 and im kinda on the fence about whether i should buy it or not when it comes out in June.. The main thing im debating is whether it'll be better then Sims2 which i love.. I don't care about the better graphics or animations becuase im very happy and content with the quality of Sims2 =) .. the only thing that interests me about Sims3 so far is the fact u can customize everything from window shades to shoes (a feautre i wish sims2 had) and the personality traits seem pretty cool too.. but thats about it =\ Im wondering what some of the other sims2 fans on TSR feel about it? and if any1 else has thought about staying with sims2?
