I'm loving your PJs. And your Abercrombie Pants are nice too.

Mind sharing where you got them from?

As usual, Brynne, Great story! Great humoristic point of veiw.
I liked the most the peeing of the rival with the voodoo bottle...:).
Please continue the story.

Comment:

Why don't you put some hanging lights in the yard, and house? It seems that you suffer from lack of lights...:). The night pictures are too dark.
I always surround the yard with walls and floors, hang some hanging lights, and then destroy the walls and the floors. Thus I have very lighted yard.
You have very few lights in the rooms too. Add some. I like the night pictures, but it's hard to me to see the scene.

Thanks guys! Makes a girl feel good.

Okay, the lighting issue has been dealt with on my forum a lot. lol. My older stories are darker, some of them. My newest ones aren't so much. At least, not intentionally. Some of these stories are pretty old, keep in mind. Like over a year old. The early stories have horrible pics because I was on my old computer with a crapola video card.

I also now have Gunmod's radience lighting or ambience lighting or whatever mod it is, and many shots were taken at the transitional period between daylight and night (which I guess would be "dusk" lol), anyway, the hour of 6-7 pm. The outside lights have not even kicked in yet at that point. And this was not intentional. I kept running out of daylight when the good stuff would happen. But I had many many lots on that yard. The ones inside with Justin standing at the couch? That's where I'm guilty of lack of lighting indoors. Bigfatoops on my part. Since then, I've added many.

Anyway, don't mean to sound terse, Gali. Rereading this makes me sound like I am, but I promise I'm not. On the forum that is one thing I kept hearing over and over. I should have left in the disclaimer I have there. "Yes, some of these are dark. Squint!"  :D You know I love ya. *mwah*

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I have more work to do on the layout, as I find LiveJournal a *bit* overwhelming. But I'm a bonehead, so that's to be expected.

Yo Brynne - I understand you can pause the game and then click on a light and have the option of turning on all those lights or just that one, be amazed! ;)


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 19, 14:50:20
Why, yes, I am double-posting. Because this thread was way down at the bottom, and I want people to know I updated the link in the first post. Try that one and see if it's all hunky dory...please?

Yo, nectere! I *did* click on the light(s). But the lighting mod is realistic so that if I turn the porch light on, the backyard won't be brightly lit. Now get off my back, all y'all, wouldja? lol

*mwah*

Sooo...that's good, right? Trubble helped me. I still don't know what I did, but hopefully it's better, now.


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: nectere on 2005 December 19, 15:08:36
Well the first link was pointing directly to the story pages, but if you clicked up top on Journal it took you to the page you posted the second link to. Did that make sense?


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 19, 15:14:34
My brain is a mangled mess at the moment, and I blame that entirely on LiveJournal. So...no. It didn't make sense. lol I'll reread it again once I've had my morning booze and see if it clears things up for me.

The stories were wonderful.  I thoroughly enjoyed them.  I'm looking forward to many more!


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 19, 15:54:18
I'll be putting more up soon!


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 19, 19:31:03
Double posting again...

I'm still working on the "50 thousand page long 'my friends page'" problem. Thanks to Trepie, fcc, and Trubble for being so patient with me with all this.

Mentally, I'm still at this phase: *headdesk* Ouch.

I'll get it up, though, kids! I have faith in me!


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 19, 20:35:23
Triple posting. Last time. Swear.

Stick a fork in me...I am DONE.

Now the story should not be obnoxious in the friends list. So sorry to be a bother.


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Trubble on 2005 December 19, 21:11:30
Heh, you got the cuts working! Awesome, I'll re-add you now ;)

/me sticks a fork in Brynne


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 19, 21:16:20
Yeah! No more obnoxious 50 billion page...anyway. Yes. I am safe to add.  ;)

You should put Joe up in made up animals  ;)

Love the stories and can't wait for more!

Post by: Liss on 2005 December 20, 00:30:03
Brynne - for some of the photos that are older and dark, in PSP or whatever graphics program you use, you can change the brightness/contrast and lighten them up a bit, if you feel so inclined.


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 20, 00:46:20
I know. But I don't feel like it, right now...
I have done that to some other pics, though, I just have SO MANY! lol


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Liss on 2005 December 20, 00:50:08
Well. Admittedly, you have more fortitude than I do.  I forget to take pictures altogether, and can't put together a story to save my life.  They are all in my head :D lol


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: RainbowTigress on 2005 December 20, 00:58:22
HAH!!!  So I'm not the only one who complains about the dark pictures.  That's why I haven't downloaded the radiance lighting mod.  It's only because I love your sims and your stories Brynne, and I want to see what is happening!  Squinting does NOT help.

the lighting mod isn't what is causing her pictures to be dark, they are dark because there isn't a light on (or enough lights on)

Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 20, 01:15:27
Ugh. I'm about to be a real diva and pull the whole thing down altogether.
I will! I will! One more word about dark pics and they're gone!  ;)

Just messing with you all. But seriously, I don't have time to fix those pics right now. Just overlook them and read the captions, jeez.  :P

Sleepycat, is your avatar from Catz? Do they still make that game? I want it!

I had the demo version on my old laptop. I was endlessly amused with just the limited bag of tricks, LOL
Thanks for the links.

Post by: Lythdan on 2005 December 20, 03:32:50
Those were some great stories, Brynne. And I won't complain about the lighting. I've been eating my carrots.  :P And it also took me about ten to fifteen minutes to get the pictures to show up at all. Stupid dial-up connection, disconnecting me when I'm trying to read your wonderful stories.  ;D


Title: Re: I gone and done it!
Post by: Brynne on 2005 December 20, 03:41:27
Aw, thanks.

I didn't mean to sound as cranky as I did, I just have a lot on my plate right now with my real life, so I have been escaping through trying to get these stories up. I just got a little frustrated with all the "pics are too dark" complaints, since there's not much I can do at the moment to fix those. And also probably because I just got over the "flooding the friends list problem" from hell. Or whatever it was I did. Thank god for Trepie, fcc and Trubble walking me through it! But, I am not really cranky about it. Just playing, mostly. But, still, My apologies, all.  :-\

Anyway, the stories have been updated, though members of my forum have already seen these. There is some adult content on one of the stories.  ;) Just a warning. Stuff is happening pretty quickly in the game, now. I have been playing for the last couple of hours, so I'll be posting brand new stuff in the not too distant future.

I love your Sims stories, Brynne. All those pictures of Sims peeing themselves...(yes, I am juvenile)

More soon, I hope!

Oh, of course there will be more. Thanks for reading them, seventhson!
