too much tripping and my soul's worn thin

[aikea_guinea]

More World Adventures adventures, this time with Jacob, Piegirl, and Tristan. France, China, and Egypt are all involved, along with really random and pointless commentary. I suppose it suits the random and pointless pictures quite well.

I like Tristan's hair.

And I was a bit startled to see the sim I was using randomly using chopsticks. I still haven't been to Egypt.. just a lot of France and China... and it's funny how the Chinese are obsessed with their little fans.

Also.. how did you manage to zoom in that close to the balloon? xD

I haven't really spent much time in any of the destinations yet, sadly. I haven't even had anyone stay on vacation for their entire allotted time.

As for the balloon-zoom, I just used the freecam mode and did some megazooming. It was still difficult to get since the damned thing kept vanishing.

Your pictures made me giggle (although it could be due to sleep deprivation as well). Hashbrownies - I was so thinking the same thing when I saw that.

I haven't sent my boys to China yet - I liked France but they ran out of time before they could learn to make nectar. I'm a little annoyed by the forced adventures - I'd rather just send them on vacation and not have to do anything (that's the way I like my vacations for myself, anyway).

The cloudy skies made me miss seasons as well - I hope if they do add it they include some really good thunderstorms.

(Tristan's looking quite nice, by the way.)

Do you have to go on the adventures? Right now I've got Tristan just wandering aimlessly around Egypt, but he's kindasorta still on some sort of adventure.

Thunderstorms in TS3 would be seriously amazing! I've seen quite a few weather-related items whilst digging through the game files, some of which were wet-rock speculars and snow. There were also different season land-stuff and leaves.

Thanks! Tristan's chin is bothering me a lot now, but I don't think there's anything I can really do about it. Whenever I try to make it shorter, his mouth starts looking really wrong. Grrrr....

I think going on the adventures is the only way to increase your sim's "visa" level, so that they can stay longer on the next trip. Really annoying, if all you want to do is have them run around on scooters and just explore the countryside. Besides, they ended up being too tired from all the running around for any, um, personal time. Heh.

Interesting about the weather-related stuff you found. Hopefully that gets added sooner rather than later. At this point, though, I'm just thrilled to be able to recolor stairs and fences.

Every time I look at Gibson I want to mess with his nose, but when I do I can never get it right. At least I'm pretty happy with Sapphire - although his eyes are a little freaky-big sometimes.

Ohhhhhhhh... I forgot about the whole visa level thing! And I haven't tried sending more than one sim on vacation at a time, though I thought after the fact that it would have been amusing to have sent piegirl and Jacob out on an adventure together. Though he does keep trying to kill her/me...

Yes! The recoloring of stairs and fences made me stupid-happy!

OH! Did you see all the new facial sliders they included in this EP?? Still no chin-width one, but there are a couple decent ones nonetheless.

[century-eyes.livejournal.com]

Jacob would probably send Piegirl through all the traps first. And then laugh. (He's probably quite pleased about being able to build a big complicated basement under his house, though. Tristan better watch out.)

New facial sliders? Damn it. I didn't even look for that. All I did was look at the new clothes. I'll have to poke at that when I get home.

Though I can manage to get to Visa level 3 in one visit without this... but that may be because I have the jetsetter award, only use one sim at a time , and also tend to keep needs static.

Thanks! I'll give that a try. I had a feeling someone would do something about that. :)
