Can't rain all the time

So, there is a glitch in the current game that allows for same-sex pregnancy despite the fact that the Alien abduction pregnancies for males no longer happen. So, if you're interested in your boys (or girls) having babies together, go here to get the patch. Unfortunately, since it's a glitch in the game, your male sim's body disappears while they're pregnant because there's no male pregnancy clothes built into the system. They're working on that now. You will need an account at Mod the Sims to get the patch, but it's a free account, and well worth the time to get it. :)

+ Leave me a comment saying whatever you feel like!
+ I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
+ Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
+ Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

angela_snape: Bones/Kirk from the new Trek movie, otherwise Bill Weasley/Neville Longbottom. In either case, the prompt can be "celebration".
My first ever Trek Slash. Not to mention I’ve never written Oldschool Trek. Just Voyager. So, yeah…pretty much came out Gen. But there’s some inference there, I think.

So, I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to play Sims 3 on my computer, because it's slow and generally crotchety these days, but it works shockingly well.  I've been having a great time with it, learning the ins and outs of the new system.

So far I've created three families (all slash, of course). Arthur/Merlin, Harry/Draco, and a pairI rp with wolfish_cat, Draco and a MOC.

( Babble about Merlin and Arthur Sims )

They've eliminated the alien abduction male pregnancy option that was available in the last version, but apparently random male pregnancies do happen, so it sounds as though someone will be able to make a patch eventually.  I hope.

Also, I went through my favorite sims sites to see which, if any, had started uploading Sims 3 stuff, and I thought I'd offer the (small) list I found for those who are interested.

( list of links )

So far, there are a few hacks (mostly at Mod the Sims, of course), but it sounds like it shouldn't be too long before we get quite a bit more.

All in all?  I'm loving the game. :D

I have just, and finally finished tagging everything in this journal that needs tagging. Uuuf.

So...to celebrate, I'm offering Drabbles.

HP and Merlin are most welcome, other fandoms I'm willing to try: Buffy, Firefly, Trek, YN. But I do reserve the right to refuse to do a character or pairing. These days being in fandom means picking what I enjoy rather than fighting through something I hate.

So? Who's first?

With a great deal of help from my dear kabal42, I have a new Merlin layout. The banner was found by him, and was made by threeeyespei over at livejournal. I couldn't resist. And it fits the new Complete Style here at IJ. Kabal did all the colour-tweaking, and added the banner for me, as that was something I didn't know how to do. Thank you, hon. :)

I did this coming on three years ago now, but I think it's time it was updated.
