Playing With the Digital Ouija Board

Finally, I am posting the last of my Gorey Legacy pictures. Alas, they are all gone. ALAS! Nothing could be saved when my previous hard drive crashed and burned. But here, enjoy some images from the past of Sims that will never be seen again!



Embley and Breanna, calmly discussing whether they should maybe woohoo or not. Stick two lesbian Knowledge Sims together and they aren't really going to light the world on fire with their passion, know what I'm sayin'?

And that's all that's left. It's still kind of sad that they're all gone.

I've been playing a bit with my new founder, Epitwee Gorey (Friedrich's long lost cousin, I've decided) and she's been fun so far. I also started a Rainbow Legacy challenge, with Alizarin Polychrome. (Unlike most Rainbow Challenges, I'm actually doing the rainbow in correct ROY G. BIV order, so I am starting with red.) I still have to track down my Photoshop install disk though, I can't do any editing on my screenshots yet at all. Which is frustrating. But hey, eventually I'll be able to update those legacies? One hopes?

Anyway, here's a couple of completely un-Photoshopped preview pictures of my two new founders for the new challenges I'm doing. In a cut again, because they might be big.

Anyway, they're both pretty fun so far. I'm looking forward to getting the pictures ready and doing new updates. I miss talking about my Sims.

Missed my usual Sunday updates a couple of times there. Alas! This Wednesday update will have to hold people, since it's doubtful if I can get to an update this coming Sunday. It's a busy week!



We'll start this update with Hobart getting promoted! He's now a CEO, at the top of the Business career track! Also, this puts him perma-platinum.

That's all for this update. Not terribly long, but I wanted to at least get something up since I'm trying to maintain a good update schedule. I'm leaning towards Dawbis so far as the Generation 3 heir, but who knows, with Zillah and Fetus #2 in the mix now. Plus, who knows who will impress me in college. (It's not that I dislike Snedleigh, he's just... kinda... there.) ^_^ As always, thanks for reading!

Updates a mere week or so apart? How is this possible? ;D

When we last left the Goreys, Friedrich's wife Naenae had just died. Also, their house had just started glitching and being impossible to load. So, they loaded up all their rare items (gravestones, heir portraits, aspiration rewards) and moved to Beverly, Hills that is. No wait, that's the Beverly Hillbillies. These guys just moved across town in Veronaville, into a new house I built for them.



Everyone milling about in front of the new place, which is much taller than the old one.

And that's all for now. Sorry most of this update was house spam, but hey, there was some excitement at the end there, huh? I'm really going to miss Friedrich and Naenae.

As always, thanks for reading.

.... So it's been a month since my last update. I don't even have the excuse that I'm playing Sims 3, either. No, I am just lame about updating. I've played ahead a good bit, too, just haven't had time to get the pics ready/posted/commented on. Lord, am I slow.

Anyway! Enough whining! GOREYS, NOW.



We start with Breanna serenading Embley. In the bathroom. What is with my Sims and romantic gestures in bathrooms?! They're still in love after two children though, which is kind of nice.

And that's all of that for now. I have more to come, if I can just get it ready. Let's hope it doesn't take a month!

Wow, guess all that picture uploading I did doesn't help a whit if I never bother to post another update, does it? Good job, me! To be fair, work has been a bear lately, and I'm getting ready to go to A-Kon, the big local anime convention at the end of this month. So, busy, busy times. But WHO CARES, right? Does that get you Goreys? It DOES NOT. So, here they come!

When we last left off, Embley was frozen in the middle of labor. Thank goodness it didn't actually take her a month to give birth.



It's a baby boy! The Big Book of Edward Gorey Baby Names (aka, my Sims notebook) is consulted, and he is given the name Dawbis! He has Breanna's coloring.

A short update this time, alas. But I have more to work on, when I get the chance. Next time, more toddler picspam, more of Epergne's utter failure as a Romance Sim, and more general Gorey-ness. Thanks for reading!

I really haven't had much time to play between work and life, but there have been tiny pokings at Goreys every so often. Not enough pics for a regular update, but soon. In the meantime, you get to see what the non-heirs have made of their lives. (Since they are not legacy heirs, they are allowed to have massive cheating going on with the SimBlender...) Also, because I am obsessed with seeing what comes out when you breed Sims. (It's a sickness!)



We start with Boggerslosh and his fiancee, Meadow, moving in to a decent apartment.

That's all for now, as always, thanks for reading and I hope to get back to the heirs and their future progeny soon!

Finally a day off, and one where I previously uploaded a bunch of pictures so I can do an update! It's college time for the Second Generation of the Goreys!



We start with Eepie in her college makeover, which looks remarkably like her teen look. She rocks the look that works for her. In other words, blonde and pink extensions. I kept the pink leopard print outfit she transitioned into, because it worked for her. She is an Art major.

Anyway, that's it for now. Soon we'll get to see graduations, and find out who actually gets chosen as heir in the heir race! Comments are like delicious cake to me, and always welcome. Thanks for reading!

It's miraculous, I am actually writing another update in the SAME MONTH as my last update. MIRACULOUS.

Last time, Epergne became a teen, the twins Eepie and Embley became children, Naenae got demoted at work, a nanny got fired, a burglar stole some stuff and got away, and Boggerslosh had his first kiss. Seems like a lot when you write it out like that.



Eepie reveals that despite her Valley-Girl-esque traits, she's still genetically a Gorey, and thus, would like to see ghosts, please.

I've determined that between work (two jobs), life and all that, it's nigh-on impossible for me to do big updates with hundreds of pictures (or even get to play TS2 that much). Thus, I'll be doing mini-updates when I can squeeze them in around everything else. That way, I don't feel like a complete loser for leaving all three of my readers hanging. XD Anyway, on to those wacky gothy Goreys.

As I mentioned at the end of my last post, I'd managed to track down the missing Enayla skintone. Huzzah!



Epergne models her proper fishbelly white skintone to start us off. She's actually pretty cute, giant lips aside.

And that's all for now! I hope I can get another mini-update done soonish, if life will just stop getting in the way of my game.

It's been a cruddy week for me, and it's only Wednesday, so that means simming has occurred. Enjoy!



First things first, Naenae changed into an outfit that doesn't corset down her pregnant belly. Like any pregnant woman, she just wants to be comfortable.

I promise I haven't forgotten about the Rosales-Varmas, either. Their lot is just so big and there are so many of them, I haven't had time to devote to them lately between work and real life. I've got some more screenies to sort, and hopefully I can give them an update soonish. Thanks again for reading, and an extra big thanks for the comments. They make my day.
