Don't worry: I'm not here to threaten you with any vile creation; life keeps me otherwise occupied (a general purpose excuse for anyone serving time in jail, and it's good for me too).  I'm really just updating on my Simming position for all those of you who are interested (that will be the 2-3 people I arm-twist into this mini-site and forcibly make them read)...

So, what of my Simming?  Well, of Sims 2 I await inspiration.  The best is done, and is already out there.  I feel as though my ideas already repeat what is already even better in the Sims community, and I don't like doing repeats.  But my biggest, BIGGEST 'wait' (and possibly a big 'wait' of the entire Sims community) is whether it will ever be possible to make meshes for Sims 3.  No-one has said it will be, yet, and it feels to me the end of a marvellous era if it does indeed transpire that custom meshes are not going to be possible.  In all honesty, I share the majority view that it probably won't be possible.  Perhaps if I'd got off my butt and gone to EA myself, I might have asked how it would be possible to coat the world with rust and grime, but I didn't, and there we all are.

"But wait", you say, "you build lots too, so make Sims 3 lots instead!" (well, I know you didn't say that - it's called artistic licence and, as this is MY blog, I'll license my artistry all over it, thank you).  Yes, I build lots, but if custom meshes are not possible in Sims 3, then I won't be building any lots in Sims 3 either - because ALL my lots use essential custom items to make them ooze with horrible atmosphere (you can count with the fingers of one fingerless hand to see how many of my lots do not use custom content).  Without custom content, I will be left with no choice but to make dull, suburban, shiny semis, and I can't possibly lower myself to make something nice!  Ugh.

So, if Sims 3 does not offer (for me) the choice to create bad windows, rusty chemical drums and the like, then Sims 3 is not going to be for me.  Will I keep making stuff for Sims 2?  Well, if someone finds something of the ilk that I might possibly create, and it hasn't already been done before, then you can always throw it my way. 

I've done with asking myself rhetoric questions now  You can now ask your real questions - like why do I smell so bad...

Ooh - a proper EDIT this time!

Good point, Midnight222!  Would I not just be rehashing all the same stuff again for Sims 3?  I'd certainly rehash my own stuff - I know I'd be doing that because I've already made all my favourite ideas, and those things would be missing from Sims 3 and someone will need to make them so that I can build vile lots.   I expect Sims 3 will be all shiny and fluffy with no sign of a rotten wood table anywhere, so I'd HAVE to rehash some ideas.  I really hope we're given the chance to rehash some vulgarity into Sims 3.  Maybe one day, as you say, Midnight - I surely hope so too.
