TS2, the end of an era for me?
Date Posted: 7th Oct 2014 at 6:18 AM Views: 466
Putting this here since it's quiet and out of the way, lol. I'm going to be taking a hiatus from TS2, both playing it and creating for it. Playing still appeals to me but making new stuff for it has absolutely no appeal for me anymore. I'd like to blame that on TS4 but I can't since it's something I'd been feeling for a long time.

So- if there is anyone who reads this and there is something I'd been helping you with or offered to help with- I'm very sorry, but I'm going to have to bow out. (There are a couple of people I can think of- one wanted me to look at a lamp, another has been waiting for some slots.. I'm so sorry you two. Please forgive me for dropping out like this.)

If there is anyone who just wants to ask a question about how to do something? You can still feel free to ask me. There may not be a lot of people who do that but there are a few.. Making things might sound "meh" to me right now but sharing what I know is something I'll always be willing to do! Hopefully I won't forget what I know, lol.

*TS4. Hmmmmm. I made a few things for it and wouldn't mind doing it again. But hair and clothing really isn't my thing. At the very least I'd like to do some object recolors.. omg, the curtain choices? Yuck! Same with some of the furniture. But there's really going to have to be a way to have subsets like in TS2 for me to be really happy with doing recolors.

All in all, I just want to play. No worrying about making new stuff. No thinking to myself that it's been a while since I made something to share. (Rarely do I make anything just for me.) I just want to be another simmer. And maybe, just maybe, after I do that for awhile the urge to make pretty new things will return with a vengeance! If not? At least I'll be able to say that I had a great time sharing the things I've made over the years. And hey! Look- I've even been featured a few times AND won a MOCCA. That is something I'd never dreamed of happening.

I just.. need to be plain old Maria (also MLC, the MTS mod, lol) for a while. <3 and hugs to everyone!

*slight disclaimer on the TS4 creating- there might be a thing or two I share since there have been some ideas floating around in my head. But if it turns out I don't feel like trying them? I can live with that.

As usual I'm way late to the party (I would love to say it's because I enjoy being "fashionably late" but it's really just me living in my own little world so much that real world events have a way of passing me by) but I just wanted to take a moment & say that I have also been a huge - albeit usually silent - fan of your wonderful creations for as long as I can remember, & while I would love to see you return to TS2 modding & can totally understand just wanting to kick back & have fun for a while. I hope you continue to enjoy this amazing little gem of a game called "Sims 2" that you & so many other talented people have help make so much cooler & so much more enjoyable for so many of us!

Oh & as for wanting to blame your indefinite leave on TS4 even though you know that's not the real reason, I say blame it anyway! Hell, I'd blame that dang thing for global warming, racial injustice, & unrest in the middle east without any problem...but then, I thought TS3 was a ginormous travesty to Will Wright's vision as well, so I'm probably not the most unbiased person to ask about the way I feel the Sims franchise is going.

So anyway, I mainly wanted to say "thanks" for all your wonderful stuff & I hope you know just how much of an impact you've made on the lives of so many of us TS2 fans.

Peace, love , & many wolfy kisses,
- Zirconia Wolf

Well, whatever you choose to do in the community in the future I'm glad you've been creating for TS2 all this time and I value you very much as a creator. You're one of the best creators the community has and even if it's sad to see you go I'm very glad you've taken the time to share your creations and be active in the community.
Good luck and have fun!

Selfish me says: Oh NOOOOO!!!! No more MLC goodies for me

The real me (your friend) says: You have done soooo much for the Sims community, you certainly deserve all the kudos, rewards, thanks, and accolades you've earned - and the "right" to play (LOL! ...as if anyone needs a 'right' to play! )

It's good to step back for a while. And, when you begin to see clearly again, you'll know which path to follow.
I hope you have a wondrous era of "play" - and feel rejuvenated soon.

I'll stay in touch - both on here and at Leefish - much hugs and love to you Maria,
Go play! Have FUN!
Catherine
