Das hat verschiedene Gründe, die ich euch in diesem Beitrag näherbringen möchte. Dass der taiwanische Hersteller ASRock gute Platinen für Eigenbau-NAS-Systeme herstellt, ist sicherlich vielen von euch bewusst...[Weiterlesen]

Aiden liked starlight lakes.

Few things could compare to their beauty, with the reflections of a million stars shining on the water surface at night and their glow still lingering there even at day time.

They were peaceful, too, something Aiden had learned to appreciate. It wasn’t like he didn’t enjoy spending time at court with his family and friends, but the place was always so busy that sometimes Aiden needed some alone time.

By day, he rarely got it. There were always people around and things to do. Again, not that he minded. He’d take it over being lonely again any day, even if it could be a little overwhelming sometimes.

Even at night he wasn’t alone, which made it hard to sneak out even then, with his boyfriend’s arms always wrapped tightly around him.

This night, however, Aiden had managed to slip away, gently freeing himself of the secure grip around him to go for a little midnight swim.

Neither Talon nor Aiden’s brother would be all too thrilled to know Aiden was out at night, alone nonetheless. But this was exactly what Aiden needed right now.

Swimming had been something he always adored, back in his hometown. Whether it was splashing around at daytime with his brother, swimming on his own at night or secretly skinny-dipping with Theo that one time.

The lake in his hometown could in no way compare to the beauty of this starlight lake, though. Aiden found himself marveling at its beauty, still after the many times he’s seen it and others of its kind. He enjoyed swimming in it even more.

Aiden scooped a little bit of water in his hands as if to drink from it and admired the mini version of the constellation above his head reflected in the water. Like many times before, childlike wonder struck him at the reminder that what he held in his hands were reflections of the stars. The real, actual stars. It was truly magical.

Starlight lakes, Aiden had decided, were his favorite thing about the faerie realm.

Suddenly, he felt someone sliding their arms around him from behind and for a moment he froze in surprise.

“Found you,” a voice whispered close to his ear, before placing a kiss on the sensitive skin behind it.

Aiden instantly relaxed. He smiled to himself. “Talon.”

Okay, maybe starlight lakes were his second favorite thing about the faerie realm.

Talon kissed the side of Aiden’s neck, like trying to kiss the stars from his skin and Aiden tilted his head to the side to give him better access. He sighed.

“You didn’t have to come looking for me, you know?”

Talon hummed, the feeling of it against his skin making Aiden shiver. “But I am always looking for you,” he said with a muffled voice, his face still buried in Aiden’s neck. “And I always find you. Sooner or later.”

Aiden turned around to face Talon, putting his arms around the other’s neck. He looked at him, admiring how pretty his boyfriend looked in the moonlight, hair still messy from sleep and skin glistening with the reflection of stars, much like Aiden’s own. “That you do. And I’m grateful for it.”

It was true. Aiden was grateful. He’s waited for Talon to come around and find him. It took them a while, but Aiden found that Talon was more than worth the wait.

Once they’ve first found their way to each other, they always kept coming back around. Aiden wasn’t planning on ever letting to, on ever stopping to wait for Talon to find him.

He was glad it was him. Back then, now and for all eternity.

He kissed him, slow and sweet, trying to put all those feelings that he was never quite able to put into words into this gesture instead.

Talon’s grip around his waist tightened as Aiden pulled him impossibly closer, till they were all but chest to chest. The kiss deepened and Aiden reached out to bury a hand in blonde locks, like he had many times before and would hopefully do many times after.

Aiden could’ve done this for all eternity. Being close to him, feeling his hands all over him, sharing this kiss surrounded by thousands of stars. So he kept kissing him till it stole both their breaths, breaking apart for air only for seconds before diving back in.

After a while though, Aiden felt tiredness slowly wash over him. After all, it was already pretty late. He broke the kiss, leaning his head against Talon’s shoulder and pulling his legs around the boy’s torso, just letting him hold him.

“Tired, ma ghir’nan?” Talon asked, kissing the crown of Aiden’s hair.

Aiden smiled at the nickname. He nodded, hair brushing against Talon’s neck.

Talon chuckled. “Let’s get you back to bed, then.” Gently he guided Aiden out of the water, helped to dry him off and carried him to bed, ever the dutiful guard and boyfriend.

He tugged him in and held him close and Aiden let out a sigh, feeling content. Truly, this was all worth the wait, he thought before drifting off to sleep in his lover’s embrace.

Yes, he liked starlight lakes, but he liked Talon even more.

This is not deserving of the official tag list but @deadlycupid and @bunnymermaidwrites and maybe also @sleepy-night-child you guys might still appreciate it and won’t judge me if it’s bad haha

Quick Newsflash

After much blood sweat and tears, the Jazz Hands half of our operations has got Sims 3 finally working again.

What was crucial was the Lazy Duchess Alder Lake patch (or whatever it's called).

Now for the plot twist.

Your humble narrator is using a desktop which is using the same processor, an Intel i9-14900KF, as the one that has just about reduced the other half to tears trying to get to work. Yet only they had to use the Lazy Duchess patch to get the game to work. Figure that one out.

Other half is now about to enter the following phrase of switching from a Windows 10 compliant laptop to a Windows 11 compliant laptop to run Sims 3 on ...

Doodling Cat Designs - Alderheart

We're back at it again with more FireFam designs.

For those unfamiliar with the goings on of the Banished Fireheart AU, Alderheart and Sparkpelt are Firestar's children, rather than his grandchildren as they are canonically. Firestar and Sandstorm have a total of five biological children across two litters, with their first litter consisting of Squirrelflight, Leafpool, and Gorsetail (OC). Their second litter consists of Alderheart and Sparkpelt.

I've made the decision to start releasing more content for this AU overall, though this may take some time, so if anyone is actually interested in this AU they can look forward to that. I am looking forward to delving further into the Alderheart lore of this AU, with emphasis on his relationship with Firestar, who serves as prevalent mentor figure to the young tom and helps him to overcome a lot of his inner struggles.

Yet more hassle for this game

Well, I got CC Magic to actually stay open (see my previous post) but then I had an even bigger issue: no matter what I did, no matter which .exe file I ran, The Sims 3 simply wouldn't start up. I tried via CC Magic, I tried via Steam, I tried via the direct .exe files. The launcher would fire up, I'd click to play, and then it would close. No error messages; it just closed.

After a lot of frustrated (and increasingly frantic) googling, I found out why. I'm a victim of the 'Alder Lake issue'. That is, the CPU in my new PC is an Intel 12th Gen ('Alder Lake') processor, and it turns out that... EA haven't fixed a specific issue.

They've been aware of it since January 2022, when - according to the users of their help forum, "The only news we've received from EA is that someone is looking into it.  Part of the problem is that there isn't a team at EA responsible for upkeep on Sims 3 in general: the development team was disbanded back in 2013 or so."

Thankfully, a user named Miaa245 wrote a PowerShell script that fixes the issue. Find it on the second post of this page, if you encounter the same issue and need a fix. (Instructions are here if you're not sure what to do.) You have to run the script every single time before you launch the game, and apparently it fixes the issue by limiting the game to only one CPU core while it loads, then - once it's loaded - reinstating all the CPU cores.

It runs well enough that way with no CC other than a couple of essential NRaas mods, but I've not yet tried it with a bunch of CC. I've also just tried launching it via Steam (as that's how I have it installed) for now, and I managed a couple of hours of gameplay.

Tomorrow I'll try launching it via CC Magic, and if that works I'll start pushing a little CC into my folders, to see if it can handle that.

The things I do to keep playing this game that I love so much :(

ETA: I do still have the old PC, which runs it just fine, as well as my gaming laptop (which I keep for cc-free building; seriously, mine is a multi-computer household!) So if push comes to shove I'll just have to set up another desk elsewhere in the house for the old computer to sit, just so I can play Sims 3 there.

ETA 2 - 29-Jan 2023: @lazyduchess - once again you have saved a Simmer's bacon. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this patch for the Sims 3 Alder Lake processor issue. I'd previously been using a PowerShell workaround that was - quite honestly driving me bonkers because I had to continually use it every time I wanted to install something new via the launcher - but your patch worked like a dream for me. I am SO HAPPY right now, you have no idea. You're an absolute star <3

Alders by the lake - November 23rd 2022

[0mnemonic0]

"The real warriors in this world are the ones that see the details of another's soul. They see the transparency behind walls people put up. They stand on the battlefield of life and expose their heart's transparency, so other's can finish the day with hope. They are the sensitive souls that understand that before they could be a light they first had to feel the burn."
