SKAIREEEEEEMMMMMMM~

Mangling of the name is entirely intentional.

Okay, so despite my initial reaction to Skyrim being ‘No Creation Kit? NO PLAY!’, I’m finally playing (and enjoying!) Skyrim. I was a bit dubious at first, and truth be told the character generation makes me want to cry, but as a whole the game is pretty solid.

…of course, once I finish the MQ, I will be figuring out how to mod certain aspects like a mofo. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE that people have ported some of the Sims 2-Oblivion hair meshes over, but my OCD flares up something chronic about the alpha channels, which I know isn’t the porter’s fault (blame the engine!). So I really want to figure out how to fix that. Chances of it are slim though as I’m a total noob when it comes to stuff like that.

While I’m on the topic… I’ve decided that, as I only work two days a week and I won’t be playing video games all the time, and I’ve found a tutorial for importing/exporting nifs for Skyrim… I’m going to start converting some of my stuff over so it’s ready for when the Creation Kit comes out. I don’t like using armour replacers so I’ll hold out until the CK gets released and make… ANOTHER ABBOTSFORD! Except I won’t call it Abbotsford… I’ll get more creative with the name this time around, I think. And I’ll make a throwback to the original store. But CBF making custom shopkeeps! I went through hell trying to get it done last time.

I’m still working on that patch for the original Abbotsford, too. But I’ve had no time at all lately. Holiday season, and actually having a social life (lol I know, what the hell is that?) makes for little computer time. Also I may or may not have gotten back into playing S4 League. Argh.

…other than that, what else is new…?

I’ve secretly started some decoden stuff that I plan to sell online once I have a decent enough variety of goods. So far I’ve made a couple of cute pencil cases, some diaries and journals, and a couple of iPhone 4 cases for a couple of friends. Mind, I don’t go overboard like some of the decoden you might see floating around on the net. I try to keep my stuff tasteful. So yeah, if anyone’s interested in some of my stuff, I’ll post some photos soon. Otherwise hunt me down on Etsy in, oh, say about a month?

Life is blah at the moment. I hope to have myself sorted out in a month or two. Aside from that, nothing’s new. So I shall say adieu for now!
