Everyone, thank you. But, to be clear, I wasn't fishing for apologies. The fact that you all saw my comment shows that you are still here, at least in spirit. As I might have mentioned a few times, I'm guilty myself. I keep getting drawn to other games recently, so haven't been creating in Sims myself. Which, although not great for someone running this kind of contest, isn't exactly a bad thing after all these years of being so hyper-focused on the one title.
There are still SOOOOOO many things for me to discover in TS3 that my current distractions are just that, distractions. I still have half my siblings in my legacy family to play through before heading on to the next generation. And several EPs that I haven't even explored properly in that process.
Steam is partly responsible. I've caught a couple games on sale that are a change of pace for me and I've been enjoying them. The hidden object/puzzle story type. There was a bundle of six, and I just completed my second. Not one to do things in small measures, I would not be surprised if I just plow through all six in sequence before coming up for air.
I have also spent a bit of time helping my niece out with her kids this past week, which hasn't allowed me much time for even that. AND I've actually joined a gym for the first time in 20 years. Today was an "intro" visit, with tomorrow being my first "workout." It isn't quite that, but water aerobics. Still exercise, I'm not denying myself that success. But not what I call a workout. Of course, I say that now. Let's see if I feel that way when I am done!
All that being so, I do look forward to seeing some posts, whenever they do happen. The prize points aren't going anywhere until they have something to be awarded to. And the point here is to provide a community, not a sense of responsibility/stress.
For those who celebrate, relax and enjoy your Easter weekend.
