Hi everyone,

I know my last post was months ago and it was dramatic one to disappear off of, but turns out recovering from cancer surgery takes it out of you - and now I've had two!

I'm now down one thyroid and up daily medication that I'll be taking for the rest of my life. I actually feel pretty good this time, though still struggling with tiredness right now. I do kind of feel like this is the calm before the storm with balancing my thyroid levels, but I'm hoping that it won't be too bad.

I really want to come back to Sims but I'm struggling with perfectionism and also the mammoth task that is Sims Admin (that's what I call it in my head). I keep telling myself that my downloads have to be perfectly sorted, merged, organised, optimised etc. before I'm "allowed" to play, even though I know that's completely irrational, but unfortunately I am ruled by the irrational, thanks ADHD + autism.

Anyway, I just wanted to post something, and it's good news! While I still have to have radiotherapy in the future, that's more a preventative measure, I should now technically be cancer free!

Chateau du Landgraab

Using this construction as a base, I have created my own version of this huge mansion.🏡

There are no pictures of the floorplan, because it would be spoiler. I will show the different areas of the house as I finish furnishing them.😮‍💨

Mom will be delighted to live in this little house.😂

Well I found out in May that I have thyroid cancer. Then I got Covid for the first time ever in June and had to delay surgery, but it's now scheduled for Tuesday!

The cancer that I have, papillary thyroid carcinoma, is very treatable and I will likely be fine, but there are no good cancers.

It's been a very surreal couple of months, it feels like it's been two minutes and two years at the same time. I logged off from work yesterday for at least three weeks and it feels so weird, like it's not really happening! I don't know if it will even feel real when I'm in the hospital ward!

Sometimes it hits me and it feels like the wind is knocked out of me, but somehow I'm able to keep going again. I can't believe I have cancer, especially as I'm only 29, I feel like I'm too young.

Despite everything, I'm feeling optimistic and positive about the future, and I'm so ready to start the treatment! I'm clinging on to the light at the end of the tunnel, I can see it.

Did you accidentally make your fence too short, and now there's an ugly extra fence post in the way? Think you'll have to rebuild that whole section of fence to get rid of it? Worry not!

Simply attach another piece of fence to the post you want gone...

... and then manually remove it. The fence post will be removed as well.

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but I only figured it out recently and it's saved me a lot of building time/mild annoyance!

Tour of Takemizu: Part IX

The Maxis version of 'Takemizu Hot Springs' left me completely uninspired, and I really didn't know what to do with it, so I'm actually using a super makeover by @plumbtales (although I can't now find it on their tumblr).

However, I decided that what I really wanted was a traditional onsen, for my more intrepid travellers. Since I've never visited one myself, I had to rely on visual references I found online, so I don't know how authentic it really is! But, I was really pleased with how it turned out. 😊

In the reception area, you can while away some time at the mahjong table.

Then head upstairs for a massage...

...before leaving your belongings in the lockers and hitting the sauna.

No phones please!

There are showers available...

...or a more private bathing area.

Tomorrow we'll head outside for the main event - the hot spring.

It's been almost two years with just the main neighborhood and Windflower Tech, so I decided it was time to give Windflower Bay a proper downtown. Here are a few shots from Beacon Heights, the downtown subhood. 🌃 I can't wait to send sims here so I can see more of that beautiful neighborhood from the lots!

Eye Peeler, Harbinger of the Pink Soup

a short storytime - i have default replaced every base game painting with this mod by saramkirk, because the starting artworks, and especially the eye peeler, always distracted me with how bright it is. but recently i was reminded of its existence, and i went like - wait a minute… i just made an art with Puck, when the literal goddess of the pink soup existed this entire time! well, so, here she is.
