Frequently asked questions
Can I friend this journal?
Oh, please, please do!
Can I make icons/graphics out of your pictures?
Ooh, yes please! I'd be over the moon if you did! The lovely and wonderful spazzychick96 has created a community over at iss_fans (for which I am eternally grateful, and honoured beyond belief!) where you can post comments, icons and graphics related to this journal. If you do use any of my work, please just put a link back to this journal in the notes, maybe? My friend count is oh-so-low compared to some of the other Sims journals and I need to pimp like whoa! I've made a few icons myself over here.
Hey! You haven't credited me for something I made!
Oh no! I'm really sorry, I downloaded a lot of things before I decided to publish these stories. Just post a comment with your name, the object and a link for other users to download and I'll put you in my credits section!
Ooh I love your pretty uniforms!
Alas, the only one I can take credit for is Sirius' shirt. The others were created by the wonderous cloudlessnights and by some talented people over at The Sims Exchange. For more detailed info check out my credits list.
Why haven't you updated in, like, a month?
Because I suck. In an ideal world I would play The Sims all day, alas I have a job (and a werewolf related illness that makes me tired all the time ;_;) and non-pixelated friends who would disown me if I didn't see them every once in a while. I promise I'll try and update whenever possible!
What edition of the game are you playing?
I'm playing The Sims 2, with the University and Nightlife expansion packs
Where do you find such cool downloads?
Most of the things I've downloaded are fromModTheSims2 they have all kinds of talented people making skins, objects, lots and game hacks. And it's all free! The Sims Exchange also comes in handy sometimes and. Especially if you're looking for lots and houses. Please see my Credit & Links List for more detailed info.
Are your Sims on The Exchange? Can I download them anywhere?
No, they aren't available for download, I'm sorry. I like to think we all have slightly different pictures of the boys in our heads, so I'd love to see your versions :). You can find Dumbledore and Slughorn on The Sims Exchange, however...as I poached them from there and tweaked them slightly. Ahem.
How come your pictures are so clear?
I selected the highest quality and the largest picture size in the camera options and I also make sure my rooms are well lit.
Who are you? *Removes mask dramatically* I'm o_deanna, feel free to wander over to my other journal :)
Can I borrow Remus for the afternoon?
No. Definitely not. *clings.*
