Late Check-In

Hey everybody,

Real post update this time.  No Turbo the sim, just me.  Late last year, I was having a very difficult time with the pandemic.  I wouldn't be able to visit family, I was stressed out and I didn't know what to do.  So, I picked up every hobby I had in the past 20 years.  Yes, literally EVERY hobby.  This included The Sims.  We all deal with life stressors in our own way and that was one of mine.

It was a lot of fun coming back and relearning the coding aspect and learning more than I did the first time around.  Also finding familiar names and people I knew from before and even meeting some new people.  I played with things for a while, and reminiscent to when I left The Sim community the first time, I was working with sprites (which I hate passionately) and realized that area is so frustrating for me I'd rather stick to coding on the back end.  That and my rug creator broke.  There are a number of projects I shelved as a result.

So I put things on pause and decided to come back later.  We'll, we're almost a year past then.  I did not delete everything this time around and it is safely on my hard drive, no backup discs, so I can revisit it.

In time I still plan to update my original bases by removing excess sprites and coding and enhance them a bit here and there.  But next time, and I'll be scheduling the update after I submit this post, something a little different.
