Songs and Ships!
@frenchiefitzhere and @clover-46 tagged me for this and I had to calm myself! I love these things. Songs that remind me of Redacted ships and characters. In no particular order but I'm starting with Avior because no one can stop me.
AVIOR AND STARLIGHT Starlight by Westlife - This is just great and I love it. I want to put the lyrics that fit but all of them work so well. These ones especially maybe?
Starlight, Lighting up the darkest night, Something I can see in your eyes, Keeps me alive tonight oh oh oh, We can all be starlights, Racing at the speed of light, I found you in my darkest time, Now look how we shine so bright, woah, Dancing at the speed of light, You know you are my starlight. Dammit Erik, give me my happy ending!
MILO AND SWEETHEART The Invisible Man by Queen - I just imagine Milo coming in and this is just playing. Now I'm in your room and I'm in your bed, And I'm in your life, and I'm in your head. VEGA AND WARDEN HUSHH by AViVA - Nooo I have so many for Vega but I'll pick this one because I love it. Hush now darling, I won't let go Just keep moving, moving through the smoke, Hold me closer, we step across, Now you know, Hold your breath, dim the lights, I won't say you're safe this time, Here and now you're mine tonight. AARON AND SMARTASS 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton - Yeah yeah I know it's not original but it's the first one I think of! Plus we love Dolly. DAMIEN AND HUXLEY Close To My Fire by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa - Two artists I love anyway but come on! Like I could resist this one. Boy you are my symptom delusion, You're melting me down, my resolution, I can escape, can't say I'm trying, You say my name, oh I can't hide it. IMPERIUM SAM Hail To The King by Avenged Sevenfold - The lyrics! It seems very Imperium like to me. There's a taste of fear When the henchmen call Iron fist to tame the land Iron fist to claim it all Hail to the king Hail to the one Kneel to the crown GAVIN AND FREELANCER When You're Gone - by Bryan Adams and Mel C - It's that feeling of only realising you want someone when they're not there. I think Gavin may have been there in the early days. I've been wandering around the house all night wondering what the hell to do Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate, but all I can think of is you Well, the phone don't ring, 'cause my friends ain't home I'm tired of being all alone Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you Baby, when you're gone, I realize I'm in love! Aww Gavin, baby. You'll get there. CAMELOPARDALIS Stressed Out by 21 Pilots - Nobody said these had to be inventive.
I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words I wish I found some chords in an order that is new I love him.
IVAN (Vega era) Drive By by Train - Oh the creepy vibes on this one! I love it for Ivan.
You moved to west L.A., or New York or Santa Fe Or wherever, to get away from me
Ok I'm gonna stop there because I can go on and on with so many! But if you want more of a certain ship (or if I missed one you want) come shout at me! I'm going to tag @themonotonysyndrome, @sincerelywhistler and @riathepinkie if they want to do this! Show me your music!

Life Update:
I decided the only way to get out of the hole I was in emotionally was to get the fuck out of California because I couldn’t afford rent anymore. I have always wanted to live in Santa Fe, so I picked up my life and moved here in July. I’m pretty broke, still behind on bills, but my job is A LOT less stressful and I have time to get enough sleep now and still have a life. I’m starting to feel creative again. I wanted to learn how to make custom content for The Sims 4, and I just posted a bunch of custom paintings. I (finally) organized all of my fabric and craft supplies so I can start sewing again, and hopefully reopen my Etsy store (I make bjd clothes). I’m not going to be getting any new dolls this year, I’m just too strapped for cash, but that’s actually okay. Until I have more money, I can’t upgrade my doll storage and I don’t have room for a single other doll right now. Tomorrow I want to completely clean out all of my doll stuff and organize it. I still eventually want to be a clinical supervisor for a speech-language pathology master’s program, I REALLY want it to be at University of New Mexico which is a doable commute from here if I only work part time down there. My birthday is next Friday (the 13th) and I’ll be 46. I’d like to be a clinical supervisor by the time I’m 50. This year I’m working from home in a district in California, but because I’m a contractor and paid only for hours worked, I don’t get paid for school holidays at all, and it’s just not sustainable. I love working from home, I love that if I’m super tired I can lay down when I have a break, and I love my coworkers, but I plan to try to get a position in Santa Fe public schools next year. My credit is trash, but I’ve made peace with it because I needed this year to just relax and not be miserable. I’ve been miserable for so long and just needed a fucking break. Even though I don’t actually know anyone here, I’m so relaxed and happy. I feel like I fit here, and these are my people. I’m hoping to get involved in the community next year when I’m more settled in. I’m really passionate about Native American culture and want to support any way I can. I’m experiencing a horrible flare of guttate psoriasis and cannot get a dermatologist to answer the freakin’ phone to get meds. I’m dying, I look horrible, my entire body hurts and itches. But I’m still so much better than I was when I was living in San Diego. This place moves at a slower pace, there are no freeways, everything is less than 20 minutes away, and people don’t show up at Target in $300 of Lululemon to shop while carrying a Michael Kors purse. Not everyone is thin and I’ve only seen 1 gym anywhere near my house. The vibe here is so chill. I love it.
TL;DR I might have the ability to write again.

Crawler sighting 46
"I went to a tribal art school in Santa Fe new mexico. Located on the south side of the city, literally the second to last building on the edge of town. Across the road to the south was another school, a 7-12 grade alternative kinda Montessori school. Anyway beyond that was nothing but open land, slight rolling hills covered in ankle high desert scub grasses, chamisa bushes and pinon trees here and there.
This desert plain extends as far as you can see to the Sandia mountains about sixty miles south by Albuquerque and beyond towards Moriarty. Anyway my first couple weeks in my freshman year I was just getting settled to college life, was lucky enough to score my own room and pretty much loving it. College was awesome. Anyway.
Ive been a pretty big stoner since I was 14 and this didn't change much in college. It was just after midnight and I went outside behind the student housing building to smoke a bowl and found myself alone. It was a smaller school, about 250 on campus students so it wasn't unusual to find the smoking area empty. So I'm smoking some hash on a nice bowl of bud, listening to music, ya know getting nice and stoned when I spot movement across the street.
From vantage point, the road running perpendicular between my dorm building and the school across the street, was on a bit of a hill and the school beyond was lower on the otherside. That is to say the roof of the building across the street was at eye level and movement on the roof caught my eye. There was a pale skinny person running on roof of the damn school across the street, maybe 200 feet maybe 250, away from where I was smoking. I watched this figure run the length of the buildings roof and jump off and where it lept down there was an exterior light that illuminated this figure. I stared for a couple seconds not really believing it and noped the fuck back to my room.
This started a whole series of shit related to the tall white figure out there. For four years it was something I kept an eye out for, my ex girlfriend saw on the road to school, and my roommate I eventually got had his own encounters with. I scored an RA position next semester and sold a fuck ton of herb so I was in on alot of the gossip and stories around that campus. It was small school and I was someone people talked to. I heard stories from other people. One time I went to deliver a stash to my buddy down in the family housing casitas on campus, during the day mind you, and when I knocked homie was looking through the blinds all sketchy like. I gave him shit cuz he knew I was coming by and first thing he said to me was, I thought you were that white thing.
That shit chilled me because I talked alot about the sketchy white figure to alot of people but not him. So yeah other people saw it too. One family had an incident that left the mother seeking counselling or some kinda psychiatric help. I know this through my job as an RA and damn, I'm sure it was a crawler. Anyway sorry for my rambling story, I've lurked here alot and knew I'd seen one. Finally getting some kinda story on here now. I can type out another posted detailing my gfs encounters and even dreams she had of this thing. Maybe tomorrow."

Hakes Brothers has been building new homes in Las Cruces for over 15 years and has established its status as a premier home builder with local roots.
The typical house was on the market for forty six days, from 51 days a month earlier. The typical 1,800-square-foot home had a list worth of $91 per square foot. The Doña Ana County market was busy, with a median 46 days on market. The market added 240 new home listings in May, in contrast with the 248 added in May 2021.
Homes with huge price tags come with all kinds of enviable facilities. Pools, home gyms, high-tech fixtures, sweeping safety systems, spacious yards, and a room for each want are luxuries most people covet. As people spent more time than ever earlier than of their homes, these luxuries—and the cavernous sq. footage and yards that house them—became more fascinating than ever.

Some random replies to replies that I didn’t reply to in the reply thread. :)
Confused yet? I am. :) Anyhoo, these are for @skyburned, @penig, @dunne-ias, @techheaddanie, @glabeglarn, @jennamaxon, @katatty, and @serabiet...
skyburned replied to your photo “I’m contemplating taking an excursion down to Roswell (It’d be a...”
I lost my simcity 4 disk so frequently I bought a downloadable version from Amazon. Now I can download whenever I change computers or whatever and NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE DISK. I love that game.
I hate messing with disks. I especially hate when you have to put in the disk in order to play the game. I mean, I get why you have to, but I just hate it and rebel against it and always get no-CD cracks. To me, when I buy a game or any piece of software, I own it forever (Don’t even get me started on Adobe’s current “rental” scheme. I’ll see red); it’s not dependent on whether or not I have a useable, non-damaged disk.
So yeah, I would’ve gone your route, definitely, but I bought SimCity4 at a used book shop and I haven’t used/played it enough to have tracked down a crack for it. I mean, I’ve had this current machine for over a year now, and I hadn’t even installed SC4. But if I try my hand at making a completely new terrain or five -- and I might, for the custom Uni(s) that I want to build -- I’ll track down a crack. Must be out there somewhere...
penig replied to your photo “SUCCESS! :D …Well, except that the size is off by a neighborhood tile...”
I have a default replacement in my BACC which only replaces roads automatically in new hoods. In old ones you have to lay down custom road tiles. Maybe you could do something like that?
That would be good, but what I’d really like (but that isn’t possible) is a road default that has “zones.” Like, high-traffic roads are bigger and paved while residential side roads can be smaller and possibly not paved. Like, for retroStrangetown, I’d want the “Road to Nowhere” to be a large, paved highway, like the old Route 66, and the roads in the “military” section I made to be paved but smaller, and the roads in the little non-military residential section I made to be packed dirt. That’s kinda how it works where I live even now, much less back in the 50s. The one interstate highway and the county-maintained roads that get more traffic and the roads in town are all paved and of different sizes for different levels of traffic, but the smaller county roads and the residential roads outside of town are all packed dirt.
I wish we could have the different road types that are in SC4 in TS2, but...nope.
dunne-ias replied to your photo “SUCCESS! :D …Well, except that the size is off by a neighborhood tile...”
I've been planning a new ST map too. And hoodreplace is very easy and straightforward to use, because Mootilda truly was a treasure we did not deserve
She really was! I am still mourning her loss. :(
But yeah, Hood Replace is pretty awesome. I’m now thinking of seeing about maybe uploading my retroStrangetown -- at least its map + hood deco; not sure about the houses because of the amount of CC -- when it’s done NOT as something to be played as-is because I didn’t make it empty or anything, but more as something one could use with Hood Replace to replace one’s own Strangetown in terms of roads and deco and all that.
techheaddanie replied to your photo “SUCCESS! :D …Well, except that the size is off by a neighborhood tile...”
Looks great. It's never too late to learn to do cool stuff. :)
Indeed it is not! I might give making a new custom terrain a go, figure out how it all works. It’s easy enough to edit an existing terrain, but doing all the terraforming and planning the road layout from scratch and all that might be fun. I need to figure out how that all works. I have a tutorial saved, so...one day, when I don’t feel like doing any of the other Sim-related things I have going. :)
glabeglarn replied to your photo “An “expanded” Strangetown. What will be an all-deco military base is...”
I love reading about your plans, and I really like what you’re going to do with Strangetown :) another option for SC4 is to buy a steam key from G2A, they’re only 4 euros. But maybe you won’t want to buy the game again :)
Yeah, I have a thing about not re-buying games...although I did buy most of TS2 several times over, over the years. But generally, I only buy games once. If I subsequently lose the disk or the disk becomes damaged or whatever, I have no qualms whatsoever about pirating a copy of the game, since I already own it.
But yeah, Steam is certainly an option, too, and if I hadn’t bought SC4, that’d be a thing I’d do. ...Although technically I don’t fully legitimately own SC4 since I bought a used copy at a used bookstore, but... Well, in any case, I did find my disk, so we’re all good. :)
As for my plans for retroStrangetown...I’m still not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it. I mean, I’m going to finish building it, and I’m going to play it, for sure, but I don’t know exactly how I’m going to share the playing, as it were. I might try the whole story thing but historically when I’ve tried writing a story via Sims, I’ve not been good at keeping it up. It’d be a shame if I’d put in all this work only to abandon it because I don’t feel like keeping up with a story, so...I don’t know. I’ve got time to figure it out, though, because I’ll be building for a while. *laugh*
jennamaxon replied to your photo “An “expanded” Strangetown. What will be an all-deco military base is...”
I've been dropping hood deco (meshes) a short space in Milkshape - it seems to work. I think there was a post by Criquette about it
Yeah, unfortunately my skills with meshes are non-existent. The only thing I’ve ever done in Milkshape is to add preg morphs to clothing meshes, and that was eons ago. So, my confidence level for messing with hood deco meshes is not high. :) But there is lots of hood deco that I’d like to lower so they don’t float as much, so...maybe one day. :)
katatty-main replied to your photo “An “expanded” Strangetown. What will be an all-deco military base is...”
i think rural charm will work, based on memory! looks really cool so far. i need to experiment with "off road" lots more
I’m kinda in love with “off road” lots. I mean, I’ve got a whole neighborhood that’s completely off-road. It just adds a whole different feel to certain lots. It’s great for really rural neighborhoods because you can have lots far apart with no visible roads around, and you’re not limited to building just where the roads are, but it’s also good for urban areas when you want to fill in big squares on the map but you don’t want to put down a huge lot or fill in the area with hood deco. You can fill it up with lots instead. Of course, if you do that too much you’ll choke the game...but you can do that with lots of high-poly/high-res hood deco, too. Anyway, yeah, I definitely recommend playing around with it.
serabiet replied to your photo “An “expanded” Strangetown. What will be an all-deco military base is...”
I'm so excited to see how this develops (and draw inspiration from the houses) 8D
I’ll be happy to fully figure out how it’s going to develop! *laugh*
And I like the houses. I’ve collected a bunch of antique plans to get ideas from and/or to build per plan, for unoccupied houses, if I’m not feeling creative. They’re no longer all “midcentury modern” style -- because really, at the time period, there were plenty of older houses around, with just a few “modern” ones here and there -- but they’ll be in a range of styles authentic to the geographical area and time period, from tiny Depression-era houses with no indoor plumbing -- Geez, at the time they fit an entire two-bedroom house into 500 sq.ft./46 sq. meters -- to Spanish Colonial style, to small “tract” bungalow kinds of houses that were built for returning GIs immediately post-WWII, to the (somewhat) larger modern-ranchy “rambler” kinds of places that became popular in the western US in the mid-50s. (The Beakers are getting one of my RL BFF’s house, if I can make it work; it’ll need lots of CFE. They live in Santa Fe, about a 3-hour drive from the Roswell area...which is a short drive as things go out here. :) The house is Spanish Colonial, built in 1927. It’s got this tower with window slits over the entry vestibule and several outdoor courtyards/terraces, so it looks sort of castle-y, but it’s in a style that has actually been built often in the US Southwest. I’m really hoping I can make it work in-game.)
