Sims 2 CC Making, Schedules and Creativity – a retirement story - maxon - 09-02-23
I’ve been meaning to post this message about changes with me and progress with Polgannon since December but have been finding it difficult to work out what exactly I want to say.
There are a couple of things here: I want to post about what’s happening with Polgannon, which I’m excited about, and to announce my ‘retirement’ from making stuff for Sims 2.
[attachment=659]
Let’s take the latter first. I’ve been involved with the Sims community since the first game and have been making stuff for Sims 2 from the beginning. The first version of Polgannon was for Sims 2. However, I have not really played at all in the last two or three years. I can’t anymore, I no longer find playing interesting. I’ve been making simple CC for the last few years but that’s been about it. I decided finally that I should stop – mainly because I want to concentrate on what’s going on with Polgannon and other stuff in my life (piano is being neglected).
This does not mean though that I won’t be around because I’ve made a number of friends in the Sims community over the years and I don’t want to lose touch. It’s also a fact, since deciding to stop that I’ve been making some new walls and pictures.
This is a bit of a conundrum. I think what I’m trying to say – or perhaps more importantly tell myself – is that I want to stop ‘officially’ making stuff for the Sims so I’m not always telling myself I need to do something. I think there’s a good chance I will, in fact, make more stuff for the game but as something I just want to do that day. The reason I like making walls for the game so much is that I just love messing around with colours and patterns. It’s a go-to activity when I get stressed or just when I want to do something creative without being serious about it. So I think I still might be doing more of that but won’t be doing much else – and not on any kind of schedule.
See the Polgannon section for updates about that project.
Isn't that picture hideous? It's a quick glimpse of stuff I've done over the years.

Hey Maria - well first, thanks for your good wishes and the compliment about my stuff. I generally make stuff for myself but it's always great when someone else likes it.
The picture I'm talking about is the one in this thread - normally I try to take pictures with a certain amount of harmony but that one is just a mish-mash of stuff I've made. Odd colours and patterns. I just wanted to give some idea of the stuff I've made over the years.
