Tumblr

Doesn't have any android mobiles nor iPhone / iPad / iPod. But I've just signed up on Tumblr. For posting captures, images, photos with minimal effort.


Track me there if you want to

The tumblr account doesn't mean I won't blog here any longer, I will still blog once in a while. As you can see I haven't been playing The Sims 3 lately. It's because (1) how I see the Pets expansion contradicts to what my life is about. I love animals, I just don't like having pets - share loves by not paying anybody to kill any animals for their flesh as food (pets food too). (2) Home computer had dusk crisis. Now I've fixed it. Took me almost 3 weeks. No over spinning fans sound again! One happy Istongo :-) HAHA

Leave me comments if you want to, I feel lonely sometimes. Sadly I have abandoned my TS3 friends because just to avoid looking at their sims 3 pets. I afraid I will give in and buy Pets expansion for myself finally because my friends' pets are so cute and unique. Please forgive me...

Having said all these, I bought 2 Pets expansion last night! Surprise surprise, one for my dearest mum. And one for my brother (I promised him after he requested it :) ). So well done EA!!! You got my money for selling virtual pets! How awesome you are. -.- lol

Being an architect

I knew it! I knew I would love this Architectural Design profession. How silly of me for never tried this in depth until very recently!

Here is Mylo Elbanza.

Before

After

Before

After

Those screenshots were taken during his last 2 renovation jobs. After that he was titled as The most talented Architectural Designer in Sunset Valley!

It has been a joy to redesign townie's houses.

Here are some of earlier changes Mylo had make for his neighbours:

renovated bedroom

built a swimming pool and refurished living area, bedroom

new laundry room

renovated 2 bedrooms

redecorated sitting room for bookworm sim

I took Mylo Elbanza to Egypt on his first day, and too sad to confirm the in game camera (photography skill to be specific) is still bugged in my game (will update the latest patch soon, see if that will be solved) :-( oh well... I am glad the screencapturing option "C" button still works from taking captures at least.

Egypt world landmarks are visually stunning.

Walk On Water

I've witness this walk on water glitch in my game! Not Jesus, not Axel's walks on water act.

A townie sim suddenly emerged out of the swimming pool, walked a little then stood on top of water, took a photo of my sim Mylo naked, with his mobile phone from his top view.

I have finally tried forming a sim band, The Shrubberies recieved a makeover.

Nope, this band is not a dancing band, it just happens that I was trying Twallan's The Animator mod. Excellent mod thank you!

Original sizes... and more (updated)

Original sizes of each of those shown photos at the assignment photo. Plus quite a lot screencaptures which failed to make it to the final cut of the assignment photo. Now you can see most of them, their progression from not knowing to learnt a lot :) I've decided to show some failure/accidents photos too as I think they are funny to look at, don't they?

 

 

one final drink before they head off to moon

(This house basic structure is default from Rflong7's Moon Base Charlie II, but I coloured what's inside - floors, put those trees, decorating the front garden and re-decorated inside room which the flying scene took place. )

(at local park)

(I am thankful for Rflong7's amazing Moon Base Charlie II world, it's filled with interesting building structures, great Alpha One and some hangout bars! Landscape is beautiful, give her rec's and get that world to your game, I highly doubt you wouldn't be happy with this strange world. (NO CCs too!!) well the travelling can be long, but isn't that same with Sunset Valley from one end to the other end?)

(I didn't re-decorated Alpha One, this bar I use default scenery given by Rflong7)

(adults finally)

(I was shocked they have to turn into elders too. I was thinking it is possible to choose between to elders or to adults. I should read more carefully if there will be next time. But so glad for this final age stage, it cleared my concepts of how I wanted Barbie and Ken's future would be.)

by now you should know Alpha One is Barbie and Ken's favourite place for night's out. At their age, they danced extremely well at this dance club. I personally love how late this club closes (at 4am) compared with others on Moon Base Charlie II world.

Their daughter Claire at this time have been developed some intimacy with Leonard Hackle who lives next door.

They finally can harvest with style - with their invention Harvester. I can literally see they will plants lots of prefect qualities veggies and fruits because of this method on harvesting their farming patch. Maybe expanding on the patch in near future :-)

I have uploaded these 3 life stages of Barbie and Ken family to my studio seperately in the coming few days (I will ask Rflong7 for permission if I can upload the house first). If anyone interested playing them, please consider put them in Moon Base Charlie II world. They can show you those cool dances at Alpha One if you would allow them :)

So sorry I got carried away and posted too much photos. Hope they load alright without too much lagging.
