It's been a few years since I did anything with my old LiveJournal accounts, but since I've gotten quite involved in at least one or two corners of the Sims Community, it's become more pressing over time to have another home for all those Sims-related stuff. I'm almost always active at The Plumb Bob Keep, so just about everything here you will also find there, but at least this way I'll be a little more organized and maybe even have a complete Projects and Wishlist.

heget, also known as the 'Crazy Squirrel Lady' at The Keep, which is about the only other Sims site I post at - and do so with an alarming frequency. If nothing else, you can almost always contact me in the chat box. This is a Sims journal, where I'll rarely post any personal or non-Sims related posts. The space here is so I can cross-link my creations for the Sims game somewhere besides my favorite forum, go into more depth about what I'm working on for my game and how I'm setting it up, and because all the cool kids do it. ( A Little More About Myself and My Plans for This Journal )
TOU: I'm making everything for fun, not profit. I beg and borrow from other creators, so I have no problem with others taking my creations and modifying them for their own purposes. If that was a problem for me I wouldn't have put it up on the internet.

I do ask that you give at least some form of credit.
Don't ask for money from anything. It's against my policy and against the company policy.
I'll be adding links here as I post them from the Keep to this journal. Most of the posts are going to be word for word what I've uploaded at the forum, because hey, I've already went through the trouble of explaining the downloads and I can only be so clever and sarcastic and informative before I wear myself out.
I'll make a proper Index page one of these days, but until then tags are your friend. Or one thing I at least keep those up-to-date.
You can also find a list of all my downloads here.
And because, sheesh, 100 hair files take a lot of space and Mediafire is not the greatest service provider, here's my dropbox referral link for kicks. Free storage.

The name 'heget' is my Sims' handle (and yes, I do type it lower-cased).

World-Building and Wool-Gathering, Part 1
Jul. 17th, 2012 09:33 pmI figure the best way for me to start writing out my Wish-list and To-Do Projects List is to start by describing my hood so i know what I'm aiming for. Over three pages later and barely scratching the surface, I knew I had to stop for the night.
Q: What the heck is heget's 'hood?
Short answer: It doesn't exist yet.
Q: What will it be?
( Warning: very long post inside. Only click if morbidly curious, have time to waste, and want a prize at the end that has yet to be determined. )
If you finished reading that, feel free to demand a request.
I'm calling this the Re-Download Project, where I upload my creations that I posted to the Keep for those of you that find it easier to sort through a journal than a forum. I might sneak in a few extras, but all-and-all nothing you haven't seen before. So the first offering should be the first thing I uploaded to the forum.
The lack of something period appropriate (or at least something that didn't stick out like a sore thumb) for the computers irritated me almost as much as my Sims' wants for one. And laptop meshes recolored to look like books never really looked like books.
So I grabbed other people's book clutter and made some computers.
There are three meshes with excellent variety to work for most house-holds high enough in rank or gold to afford books. Want the features w/out the books? That's another set.
