Obsession....by Sims

I was typing up an entry last night when in my haze of tiredness and stinging eyeballs I accidentally closed the window! Humbugs! So, since it was late and since my eyes really were hurting something awful I decided to stuff it.

So yeah, anyway, yesterday when I got back to Newtown after the Mother's Day Breakfast I decided to play The Sims 2, and I got to thinking about how when you Make-A-Child in the Create-A-Sim thing the genetics work the same as in-game baby creation. This means that if you have a blond haired parent and a black haired one and use the Make-A-Child function you'll get a kid with black hair, but the kid will also have the gene for blonde hair. So if you set him to adult and then create another Sim (a red head for example) and do the whole Make-A-Child thing again you can have Sims with blond, red or black hair! :O) With all this in mind I decided to see if I could successfully get the McFly Family all related.

I started yesterday with Seamus, Maggie, William and his wife Nadine. I gave them there first four kids, but there's a few problems with that. First of all the kiddies aren't the right age, second of all, having 8 people in the house at once is a pain, I thought about having Seamus and Maggie in the same house to help with the kids, but I think I'll spilt them. My computer's graphics card is pretty good, but the RAM is only just good enough, so it gets all jerky.

But the important thing is, making William the child of Maggie and Seamus (in the Create-A-Sim part) puts green eyes and red hair into his genes (Even though Will has the McFly Family light blue eyes and brown hair)! So when he has his kids with blonde haired and grey eyed Nadine many combinations come up!

Long story short I shall restart the family with Elders:Seamus and Maggie Adults:William and Nadine and Toddlers: Mircanda and Patrick (two toddlers! Eek! :O) and then go from there. I'm getting very good at making Michael J. Fox's likeness (for Will and Seamus) in the Sims 2! I just hope the McFly nose (which, I hope will somehow not show up on Marty) passes to Max and then to George. Otherwise, the family pictures will only be useful as a 'History' for my current McFlys.

The Georges: You're remaking us again?! Am we so replaccable?

Of course not! That's why I want to make you and your family history perfect! You'll thank me later...I think...

The Georges: Hmmpf!

The Lorraines: What about us?

Wellll...I'm afraid I'm gonna leave you guys as is, for some reason I don't see your Grandparents showing up too much. I could make you some and try that Sims 2 thingo (I can't remember what it's called) to make you related, but I never could figure that thing out. But if the McFly experiment works out with Max McFly, I'll test it out. :O)

And moving on to...

Okay, I got the googly eyes from Cammeary as well as a book from the library A Concise History of Brazil, none the less I continue to struggle with the questions! Tomorrow morning at nine am the group is meeting and I haven't given any indication that I'm having trouble. Maybe I should now? Although it's a bit late...I guess I'll just have to hope for Divine Inspiration or some such.

Also, right now I'm downloading the latest episode of Family Guy, everyone's talking about it on the LJ Community and unless I want to remove it from my Friend's List, the eps will be ruined for me. Besides I can add it to the CD I'm going to give my little bro along with the Third Season DVD.

I was also dead tired in the middle of the day, although I'm feeling a bit more awake now, I'll avoid the Simmies though, firstly because of the Brazil thing and secondly my eyeballs are still tender. Ouch!

Anyway, back to Brazil.
