I'm aliiive! :o :-*

I'm playing a hunting game called 'theHunter: Call of the Wild' - you can find it on Steam.

Besides the hunting aspect, which I only enjoy virtually, it is such a beautiful game with huge natural parks and reserves that look super realistic.

Although they are located in real world parts, the reserves themselves are fictitious. I actually like that.

From the Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve in Germany:






PS: I have named my bloodhound tracking dog in this game 'Miraj'  ;D

I'm still alive too. lol!!

They updated Hokko Life, giving it a new beginning of the game. We're going through it to see what's changed.

I love the screenshots you shared Nindigo. They'd make beautiful posters for our Simmies. :) Nature photos like that are some of my favorite photos.

Great shots, Nindigo. I agree with MrsFlynn. They'd be great as large posters to use as fake windows in basements.
I've been mostly stitching but fool around with the Sims when I take a break. I'm really liking the way my new Riverview looks but I've got a long way to go before it's complete, especially now that I've added Late Night. I'm seeing a lot of different things.

The game works great as a walking simulator as well :)

Here are two screenshots from the Pacific North-Western hunting reserve, Layton Lake District:

That's MrsFlynn's and my neck of the woods (so to speak). Just keep an eye out when you're hunting. Wouldn't want any accidents. :D

Haha! ;D ;D

Well, I've harvested two white-tail bucks today. It's a slow paced game, very realistic (you have to account for wind direction, precipitation, elevation, your smell, noise you make, how visible you are, etc.). Also, they may be pixel animals, but I pride myself on being an efficient shot. If I'm not certain I can down them with one shot, I won't shoot. I give up on a fair share of opportunities, because I determine they will fail one way or the other. A good shot will get the most experience points and money.

My husband is a more impatient sort. Just picture a guy running behind an angry cape buffalo in Africa with a small rifle meant for rabbits and shooting said buffalo in its backside over and over, getting close to zero experience points and money once it finally drops several miles from the starting point of the first shot. That's my husband. Add to that picture a handful of vengeful buffalos from the same herd chasing my husband's player character for shooting one of their own. And then there is me trying to lecture him for the 50th time, and still to no avail, that he is doing it wrong, while I try to take out his pursuers with a proper caliber weapon that I could afford, because I do things right.

Sigh... ::)

I was browsing Steam seeing what they had for new games to see if anything looked interesting. Most of the time I don't find anything.. Cause I'm sadly pretty strict with the kind of games I like. And I found Sims 3 was on sale again. Yay!!

Sims 3 On Steam - On Sale, 50% off
https://store.steampowered.com/app/47890/The_Sims_3/
- It's possible the sale ends on Mon. March 21st?

Then I was looking for something, can't remember what and I found a tip (fix) for the free vacation bug that came with Generations. I posted the fix here.

Now this makes me wonder if there's a way to get a free vacation via Nraas to test the tip/fix out?

I'm still around. Haven't been playing Sims 3 much. *Blush* But do pop in from time to time. Hope all are doing well!! :)

You beat me to it again. I was going to say "hi" earlier but got sidetracked.
How are you doing? Doing ok here now that it's getting a bit more spring-like.
My patio is getting pressure washed tomorrow. It's really a mess.

I've been working on my stitching. I've completed about 15% - mostly background and just beginning to see glimpses of the actual design. Not Simming either but one of these days I'll need to take a break from stitching.

lol

There's lots to get sidetracked with. *Snicker* I'm doing okay.  I must admit looking around the forum makes me miss playing and building in Sims 3.
