Mood:  on fire

It's 2014!...and I forgot to update you guys on my Autum Activities O_O

Ok so in October I wound up having a seriously klutzy moment and dislocated my wrist. Under doctor's orders I had to put TS3 away for a while; I was actually "banned" from the computer at large, not just gaming, so even FB was out of the question. I was in a brace and under heavily limited computer usage through November at which point I ran head first into the holiday scramble.

Long story short: it was Christmas before I could get back into my game and I had to go through 3 levels of patches before playing with my ponies :_( .

I'm back in and have taken the last few days to clear out some serious backlog:

every horse is getting rebuilt to be sure the coat layers are in sync with it's DNA of Record (they'll still LOOK the same, just be easier on my game and breed truer),

all stock are being inventoried and accounted for and sorted,

foals added before 1 Nov 2013 are being aged-up to adult,

outside breedings are (FINALLY) being made good on

 everyone (horses, humans, other large pets) are being packaged into a .sims3pack file for archive purposes,

the first full foal crop is in progress - Frisian-cross,

during editing, everyone is getting photographed and their profiles are being updated on the site,

 new stock are getting profiles made and added,

future breedings are being planned,

and genetics research is under way - part of that involves overhauling the Registries to incorporate new data.

Fyi: farm email is currently down -yes, again - so the current best way to get me is on FaceBook. I spend most of my TS3 time in the Sims 3: Pets group, but I can also be found at SIMply Equine (links to both are on the stable site).

I was in the process of updating the Mare Barn when someone tipped me to a new revelation in Dominant White circles: not only can it mimic Frame and Splash phenotypes, W20 is Homozygous-Viable AND it can co-exist with W5 O_O That means you can get a W20/W20 and a W20/W5 and it will be perfectly healthy!

Of course this means I need to draft a DNA section, but that's ok...that's actually something I can do offline in my free time (free time? what's that?) and then upload with a click.

Busy as always....if I bought a horse from you please know that it will have a profile up just as soon as I can manage it. I may not be wholly active 100% of the time, but I AM an active stable. Thanks for understanding.
