Shout from the rooftops and address the press

I now have so few visitors to my Corona site compared to my ISBI that it’s meaningless to point to the ISBI updates from here – you will simply have to add the ISBI to your links or follow via Reader, if you have any interest at all in my idiots. 🙂 Honestly I have so much more fun with my Cuckoo legacy that I don’t know if I will continue with the Coronas. The hiatus has just been too long at this point. I hope you can forgive me! I haven’t made a definite decision to abandon them forever, but it doesn’t look too good. Time will tell.

I hope to see you at >>>>> http://cuckoolegacy.wordpress.com! <<<<<

I made a thing

I found some nice pictures in a Swedish travel brochure from the 1930’s and I thought they should be in my game. There are 3 variations. These 2 are water-colours.

The third variation is smudgier than the others, in part because it is an oil but also because the original was lower resolution, I think. It’s not very noticeable in game, though.

The buddha & The winged victory of Samothrace are by Swedish painter/designer Ewald Dahlskog. The flamingos are nameless. 🙂

He & writer Paul Auster could be twins! At least related.

Ok, I’m done here. Oh, and a link would be good!:

There you go.

I made my own CC!

Yes, they are “just” paintings, but I’m well excited!

The first painting is “Landscape with a comet”, watercolour & ink by Ukrainian artist Heorhiy Narbut, 1910. (That would have been Halley’s comet, btw.)

The other paintings are watercolours by Dr. Edward Wilson from the British “Terra Nova” expedition to the South Pole in 1911. He and the rest of the party didn’t make it back from the expedition, but his paintings of the Antarctica are still hauntingly beautiful.

Base game mesh. I suppose you need at least patch 1.26. Comet is 650 simoleons and the Antarctica paintings are 500. They come as both package & sims3pack.

Now go decorate your little hearts out!
