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.

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.]]>

TS2 is NOT installed on this new version of the machine (I have a nice new, EXPENSIVE video card too - NVidia this time.  That did turn up via DHL).  I’m trying to decide what to do.  I:

• Still have all the disks and am wondering whether I should do yet another traditional install?  OR
  
• Should I finally use the Ultimate Collection version I have squirrelled away on Origin?
  

Not sure what to do and am wondering which would work best with a Win10 machine (NVidia video card) - any suggestions welcome.

This ordering online stuff gets addictive.  I ordered a nice pink waste basket yesterday.]]>
