Rentopia

A you can all tell, I haven't updated this thing properly in over half a year, and I don't really think I'll be posting much about the sims in the future. I decided that I'm going to be leaving my sims blog, but I'll still be on tumblr with a personal blog (because I know you guys just wouldn't be able to cope with my total absence).

I'm following all the same blogs on the new one as I was on here, so I'll still be liking and leaving unwanted comments on all your stuff, I just won't be posting anything on here, and I wanted to use a blog where I felt I had more freedom to post what I wanted. And of course, I'm still going to be involved in the sims community project.

I thought about deleting this blog, but I'm sure a year or two down the line I'll want to relive all my cringeworthy sims adventures!

If you're interested in the non-sims side of my internet existence, my personal tumblr can be found here (for some reason tumblr won't let me link it soooo it's lirenyi.tumblr.com).

I'm not really sure if I should make a 'hey so I haven't posted in 2 months or made a legitimate sims post in 5 months but what's goin onnnnn' post, since I'm not really sure if I've come back properly.

Guilt surrounding Tumbleton kind of built up and exploded in my head recently, forcing me to bite the bullet and try to charge in like I haven't been avoiding it for several months. I know 'real life stuff' seems like a pretty piss-poor excuse for two months of complete silence, so here's the low-down.

Over the summer I tried to stoke some more interest in a semi-revival with the snapshots of the playable families, and it seemed like a big push might get Tumbleton finished. Shortly afterwards, I left on a student exchange to the USA and well... anyone who remembers Mr. Ren from my livestream a few months back shouldn't get their hopes up for him making another appearance, let me put it that way. It was a bit scary back then, and the sims community project was the very last thing on my mind. Once the dust began to settle and I remembered my duties, the guilt began to pile up and the most sensible thing seemed to be to just ignore it.

Hi, just a quick note to say that I've been really preoccupied with real life stuff at the moment, so my simming stuff is on a break for now. I don't doubt I'll be back soon though!

Nobody really knows why Bill is kept around... but the ranch wouldn't be the same without him.

Slowly getting back into the simming groove, and here's my latest (not-so-impressive) accomplishment!

The layout of the Tiani/Talani compound had been bugging me for a while, so I had a bit of an overhaul. I've added captions to each individual picture to save me waffling down here - click on the picture to read it!
