Soundtracking Is Fixed!

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:17:00 +0000

Okay, may be of little importance to anyone but me, but I'm happy right now because the Soundtacking ios app now works on my phone again. It's been over a year since I've been able to use it. And I listen to music ALL THE TIME. I would have a huge list of updates by now if it hadn't crapped out on me. Anyhoo, it's all good now.

You can click on the link here or to the left. \m/ >_< \m/ I'm not a metal head but that's cute.
I'll be updating the "Don't Tell Me Your Bored..." column again in about another week or so. Keep checking back. Thanks. ツ

The Sims 2 - Working On It

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Sat, 14 Feb 2015 17:12:00 +0000

It's been a while since I've updated any Sims 2 content. I'm now on Windows 8.1 and have yet to successfully install the game. Which is why I haven't been able to work on anything to share. So, I'll work on that in the next month or two and keep everyone updated.

I really miss building in the game as well but now have a lot more to keep me busy.

So, as soon as I get the game installed, I'll let you know. Then, it will be a short amount of time before I upload some content for all of you Simmers out there.

I've thought about downloading The Sims 3, but decided against it. I never really liked the way the characters looked. And, I'm not sure I like The Sims 4 either. I'd rather stay with what I got.

I'm happy with how everything works for the most part and I'm sure that I will get this current situation straightened out soon.

Thanks for checking in.

X at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, YEAH!! ★Photos Added★

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 03:40:00 +0000

Full house at the Roxy. The Ramones are blasting. Waiting for X to take the stage. "The KKK took my baby away!" Each of the four nights is an album. Tonight is, Under The Big Black Sun.

(Note: They played the Ramones as the pre-show music to honor Tommy Ramone who had just passed away the day before. I bounced around to them the whole time, cause hey, Tommy would've want us to have fun!)

More photos after the jump!

Problems With Plastics

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 15:34:00 +0000

Looks like it's time to switch to aluminum water bottles and fabric covered glass containers. Turns out that numbers (recycle codes) 1 - 7 aren't as safe as advertised. Check out the link below for more detailed info about why this is still a problem.

This may take some time.

Who Wants to Read About the History of Punk Rock in East L.A.? Hello? Everyone!

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 02:19:00 +0000

Hello everyone, I know it's been a while. Going to start off with some news about a cool publication. The latest issue of UCLA's Aztlan (Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies) is out, featuring articles about East L.A.'s punk scene by Colin Gunckel, Dan Vargas and Jimmy Alvarado.

You can procure copies here.
Pssst! It also includes some photographs by me ;D

No Updates This Month

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:42:00 +0000

Hello everyone.
I'm sorry that there have been no real updates lately. I've lost my father this month and have been either extremely busy or truly exhausted. I'm sure many of you have gone through this horribly painful phase of life already and know what I'm talking about.

I'm just posting small things as I can (Twitter and such). I'm very grateful to the Sims 2 community for their recent visits. I'll most likely post some Sims 2 updates late October or November. As for the monthly post, Don't Tell Me That You're Bored..., I'll try to get something up next for month's events. It'll most likely be early October.

Thanks for understanding.

Sims 2 Update - Records on the Ceiling?

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 04:34:00 +0000

Hello Simmers, I know it's been a while. Haven't really had time to do much. However, I found these ceilings (floors) that I made a while back for a "record store" (electronics store) I was building. Got the idea from Iona's record store in Pretty In Pink. Hope you like. Click here to download.

Good morning. Here's a small update. I discovered this wonderful company that creates these gorgeous tiles out of cement. You can check the real ones out here.

You can download the floor tiles for the Sims 2 here.

Haven't tested them in game yet. Please let me know if there are any alignment issues.

Sims 2 Update

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 04:36:00 +0000

This is another recolor of an EA mesh. I don't know what expansion pack it's from. I have all of them except Family Fun, Glamour Stuff and Festive Holiday. It's probably Seasons. So, here is a more somber take on the rain gear.

Download here.

Previous Sims 2 Update. Just in case you missed it.

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:03:00 +0000

Better Bobbed Hair (click for detail)

In case some of you missed it, here's some more Sims 2 updates. I did these a while back and they've been on The Sims 2 Recolors page but never posted the update. It's just a couple of little things.

A cooler BV Tourist outfit (click for detail)

Here's some much cooler BV Tourist outfit recolors and a slightly better textured Modern Bob (in Black!) You will need the Mesh from The Sims 2 Online Store (for the hair). You'll also need The Sims 2 Bon Voyage Expansion Pack (for the clothes). Have fun, you can get em here. You'll find them at the bottom of the page. Click on the images for more detail.

Sims 2 Update!

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:53:00 +0000

Here are more basic outfits in classic texture and subdued color. Also, there are more pictures on the downloads page. I added a couple of concert T's for fun.

Download all on the Sims 2 page here.

Another Sims 2 Update? Wow!

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 08:24:00 +0000

Wow! Another upload so soon?
Here are some swimsuits for your water bound Sims. Nicely simple but still striking right? Let me know what you think. More in the next day or two.
Download 'em here...

Sims 2 Update!

noreply@blogger.com (Becky Minjarez-Rodriguez) — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 22:41:00 +0000

New tops here! I used the basic game meshes so you don't need an expansion pack. I may add a few more of these in different colors tomorrow. Head over to the Sims Recolors page to download.
