Oh my God. It's already 2017!

It's been several years since the last time I opened my account.

I've been busy with fixing my life, and I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to finish my stories. I feel so sad.

Playing sims and creating stories was actually my escape mechanism from my life and reality.

That's why I created Erin from Message in a Bottle.

Like her, I feel so lost that time and I was wating for my Jasper.

It's bittersweet.

I love them would like the chance to continue and finish their story.

I don't even know if those amazing people who read and appreciated my works could read this, but I still want to thank them.

For the past years when I stopped playing Sims 3 due to game problems as well as with my life, I kept on writing. As much as I love my previous stories, it didn't change the fact that some parts are needed to fix, it made me cringe. xD

Right now, I am writing some of novels.

If I were given a chance to write Erin and Jasper's story, I'd gladly do it.

There's still so much left untold.

There's still so much of Erin and Jasper that needed to be told.

There's so much more stories to tell.

And I'm seriously thinking of a way to get a hold of those who wanted to know the end of this story. And with that, I know I'd be able to give you the END.

Again, for those who read and supported me way back years ago, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Yours truly,

Juzu

Message in A Bottle, Resumed!

Heya guys!

I'm sorry I didn't get to update you about my stories. :(

I was busy working this past months and been sick because of the stress. (Ya, the job suck my life energy O_O)

I manage to finish up the contract and went back home (my ectasy) but need to recover for one week because of cold and terrible fever. -_-

Anyway, the good news is, I am re-installing the Sims 3 and downloading all CC stuffs. I had a problem with my sims before so, I am going to start from the very start. It would take a lot of patience to do so.. I hope you cheer for me. lol xD

About the novel type of Message in a Bottle, I am going to release the first 5 chapters at wattpad maybe next week. (I'll make an update here) So, if you guys wanted to read detailed Jasper and Erin, feel free to check it out. (Once released)

I already have some screenshots for the next sims chapter but some but it's still not enough to cover the entire chapter. :/

Thanks again!

-Juu

For those who wanted to read

First of all, i need to apologize for not updating "Message in a Bottle" for so long.

I have personal problems as well as the game itself, so I can't continue the story for now. (I am also heart broken) -_-
But the good news is, the story was already finished as a novel. So, if you guys wanted to continue reading Erin's and Jasper's story, feel free to message me ^^
For my friends here at TSR, you can still keep in touch by messaging me on Facebook or Skype. (or if you guys wanted to give me a PM regards the story)

FB: just search for Juu Loctonagan
Skype: jeuel_PL

I'm really sorry about this, i just can't play Sims for now because of extreme lagging. But soon, i will buy another PC and re-install my game. though it will take time to download all my CC items again *Deep breathe, trying not to cry*

Plus, as for now, I am working as a visual artist on a TV station, so i am so so so so, busy and always tired. (Gawd, I missed being a freelance artist O_O)


So, about "Message in a Bottle" and "My Borrowed Heart" I will post the novel version of it on wattpad soon after I had time to update my profile there.
And, if you wanted to, I could also send you the screenshots of my Sims character versions of the people inside the story. (Like Jasper's family and Erin's)
I know, it'll be not the same but, please understand T_T

atleast you will know the end of the story. :)

So... that's it.

I'm truly sorry. I will catch up as soon as I am settled again.

Thank you for your support and concern!

Dark Days...

Hello! I'm sorry for the delay of my next chapters, because right now, I am here at my province and my beloved PC was back home at my apartment. :p and oh, I'm going to re-install my Sims because I have some problems. -____-

Message in a Bottle Chapter 10 is almost done before I left home. I just need 5 screenshots but, my game is kind of being an arse. (maybe telling me to, take a break) :p

I celebrated my birthday last october 26 inside the Bus(10hours travelling). Q__Q

I'm supposed to spend it with my love ones but.. ehhh.

I have complicated family relationship, so I need to go back at our province for a while. haaaa, I miss my home Q_Q

For my stories, I will be releasing Message in a Bottle's chapters first. The next chapters will be in fast paced. If you wanted to read the whole novel story version of it, feel free to message me. There are lots of skipped scenes there since Sims has limitations as well as TSR. :)

About the My Borrowed Heart... I'm pretty excited about this story. I love the characters there! and I hope, you would also like them :3

It's the first story of my series. I will put the title of the series on the first chapter.

I had to re-create some of the characters there so, I deleted all my SS for the next 3 chapters. I will be re-shooting them when I'm home.

I hope you understand and wait for it. :o

By the way, the internet on our house was cutted-off and it's been days that the sun wasn't able to shine for me without it. yeah, dark ages without internet. HAHA XD

So, I will reply in your kind comments and messages soon.

Thank you for supporting! :D

Fixin' my slow Sims 3 game.

Hello! I'm currently fixing my Sims because I think I had downloaded some Bad sims3pack. Right now, I've found a method to check bad sims3pack and it also helps to speed up the game.

I can't do SS for my stories because of my Sims, so I took a whole day trouble shooting.

If you have the same slow sims problem, please continue reading:

I'm currently doing the conversation now and here's the link for the method: (don't worry, it's a safe site)
http://martinecoppens.blogspot.com/p/custom-content-tutorial.html

It's a method where .sims3pack files are converted to .package because having so many separated files can cause your game to slow down and causes lags.

Here's some useful tips for using s3pe:

-don't forget to back up!~

-After you have converted via elphy's Sims3pack Multi-extractor,  m don't forget to check the (Rename all files Save) or else, your package will be renamed as codes, it's hard to keep track to them in the future. Then, make sure to check for corrupted files using Delphy's TS3 Dashboard Tool and disable corrupted files even though it was the one who look so nice. you need to let it go so you can fix your game. *^*

-A tip for fast coversion of multi-package into one package:

*Go to the folder where you saved the converted .sims3pack into .package.

*divide the files into 150-200 files per folder.

++Reason? because it will take a lot of time the program to finish merging the .packages.

++When you are saving the file, you may encounter a (Not responding) note, but ignore that, do a net surfing to pass the time and wait for it to respond again. If you closed it via taskmanager, you  will get an uncomplete .package and may cause you to lose CC. That is why I reccomend to mere100-200 files per session.

*Oh, don't forget this option at s3pe: Select no when prompted to auto-save after each imported package.

Put the files into your mod folder. Enjoy!

Oh, my Sims feels like new after I have disabled the corrupted files and bad CC's

New Story Commin' up...

While waiting for Message in a Bottle: Chapter 9's approval, I re-submit a story titled: My Borrowed Heart.

I already submitted it before when I was waiting for Message in a Bottle: Chapter 4.

Though, it was rejected because of some screenshot. I decided to not to submit it again, but as I am waiting for my first story's chapter approval, I re-did my new story. I hope it would not get rejected, again. haha!

This new story has a huge part on Message in a Bottle.

Expect some similarities of some details on both stories, because they are connected. :D

I do hope before I could take a 1-week leave, the next chapters will be out soon.

Chapters would delay because I need to go home to my hometown.

This weekend, I'm going to my friend's house because we are having our triple birthday celebration and Grand Eyeball for our game's guild. It's pretty exciting but I will be out for a while.

Not to mention, my friends that I'm going to are the ones who just hate me going back home. They would try a sneak attack to hold me up for few more days. haha. :D

If only I could carry my whole PC set, but the travel's pretty faaaar~

I hope you would understand the future delays.

Happy Simming~

Twiddling thumbs...

As for today, I'm planning on releasing some special story but I'm too caught up with making Message in a Bottle.

Message in a Bottle was originally a finished novel of mine, because I converted it to Sim story, I cutted some parts there because it will take so much chapter to get to the main and exciting parts.

I am still making that book's cover and planning of printing the book after I've finished making the Sim version of it because, I wanted to put Erin and Jasper's Sim versions inside of it. ^^

I also have a long line for next stories after the End of Message in a Bottle.

There is also a series commin' up.

I'm excited for Message in a Bottle: Chapter 9~! It was my favorite part and I hope you'll like it.

But if you didn't, that's okay because I did all my best to make that chapter and I have no regrets! xD

I feel so contented after I finished making that chapter.

The next chapters will be on fast-paced, because I wanted to start the romance slow... making the readers get to know about the character first. I wanted to make them... alive. Not just a mere characters of a story. but I wanted a world where every character inside the book has their own lives and stories.

I wanted to create a life at least in my dream world. ^^

It's my first time releasing my story publicity. I am writing for years and I don't have that many friends who are interested in books as much as I do. I'm glad to know other people with the same hobby as mine and even though most of you are at another edge of the world as I am, it gives me happiness to know that my story are appreciated by strangers like you. And those strangers became my friend. (I think I'm going too emotional or heart-talking, whatsoever.haha!)

Nah, it's just me who just finished writing a heart-warming manuscript. xD

Happy simming!

Install or Re-Install?

I wanted to update my sims to the newest 1.57 patch but I am having a problem because my Sims is istalled at different drive. T___T

I'm currently downloading the movie pack just to update my game, and if I succesfully updated through that process, I'd be really happy because I will save a lot of time and effort re-installing the WHOLE game. O___O

It would delay my next chapters if I have to re-install everything. I hope it will turn out fine.. Oh please Lordy~!

I'm excited about the next chapter, hopefully I could finish fixing my game so, I could get back to work! ^^

I managed to move all my super-huge-memory-eater-but-so-awesome-you-can't-delete, CCs to my other drive for smoother gameplay.

I hope everything turns out well. yaa~

Happy Simming~

Story~ Story~ Story~

Woot, my brain's drain for now but it felt so good. ^^

I'm still brainstorming about  my characters as well as make them. I feel so satisfied the way they looked like~ >u</

I'm thinking about sharing them here at TSR, but well... I need to finish their stories first.

By the way, can you tell me some of your own stories or favorites for me to read? :)

These past few days, I had a lot of things I needed to get done like cleaning the house and such because I'm living alone O___O

It's been raining for days and it was the perfect time to write a book right? :)
Oh, with music to play along with the rain. I often listens to sweet melodies such as piano pieces when writing. Plus, a hot chocolate would add some spice. yeah!

I'm doing screenshot for my next chapter, but I need to clean some unnecessary files for the sake of my PC's memory, but I dunno what to delete O____O

Oh, well... I need to work hard to upgrade my PC xD

Happy Simming!

Delayed Chapters...

Hey, Sorry if Message in a Bottle: Chapter 5 isn't published yet. Well, I revised my supposedly chapter because it was kind of not 'exciting'.

I finished the manuscirpt and what I'm doing this past days is creating additional Sims for casts.

I hate downloading pre-made sims and I prefer to do my own unique sims so, it was taking a lot of time. Plus, I want my casts to be unique form each other as much as possible. ^u^/

I'm also brainstorming because I'm planning for future stories. I made a lot of characters this week with their own personal stories. Though, I need to finish up my first story first. Haha!

And yeah, I'm also busy writing a book about my game guild's own story based from our online game, Dragon nest.

If only there's a machine that would let you do the things swirling inside your head right away. The one with a helmet-like equips, would put it at the top of your head and just a few buttons.. tada~ finished stories and such. (Sorry, I'm talking nonesense) ^^;

Oh well, I think that's it for now. :)
