I've uploaded some screenshots from France at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ts3simposium/. Enjoy!

I've got to show you some screenshots from China of World Adventures! Sorry for not being able so scale them properly. ;)

A sim which just enters a chinese grave.

A river with bamboo at night.

The athmosphere is just incredible! The sky has been improved a lot and has now lots of moving clouds and the light is very colorful. But it's no real weather yet as we saw in Seasons.

The adventures are really cool to play. However, with a cheat you can create your own adventure lots. With a cheat you gain access to a collection of objects to program. You can give an object an action which results from a sim interacting with it and passes that action over to another object. When you're doing this the objects get marked with an arrow.

Hey there! I'm currently in San Francisco at Electronic Arts. We (SteveB, Wolfsim68 and me) are invited to test out the new expansionpack World Adventures and as well the Create A Neighborhood tool. Yes, you've heard right, it's possible now to create new neighborhood from scratch! I'll be posting later more info about this. Probably with pictures. Let me run now in the game testing out these cool new things. :o)

Currently we have a closed beta test of TSR Workshop running which focuses on object meshes. Yay! And this is the result I've got so far:

There are still quite a few bugs which need to be fixed first until those objects can be uploaded for download. :)

I've lost yesterday 9 windows and 6 seatings meshes (and their lower poly detail meshes, this makes 30 ready to import meshes) due to a harddisk crash. It's not possible to rescue the data on it. If I'm going to start over, I dunno yet.

I successfully modified the Italian pine tree! I made it shorter and a bit wider. This is currently only a replacement because no programm can yet clone trees/shrubbery correctly. This is also why the textures aren't changed.

The foliage sways correctly in the wind and also the lower detail mesh works. This tree modding is currently very experimental! Also due to the special software used (a demo, very limited) it's very unlikely we're going to see many new custom trees/shrubbery. :(

I'm currently working on those windows below for Sims 3. :) They will soon become available for download when the Workshop is ready to produce object meshes.

And here's a very close-up render to show the texture detail.

There will be probably also doors and door frames. ;)

Yes, it's possible now. :D

Credits go to WesHowe, the Jones and Echo for their tools which made this possible. Thanks! However this is still very experimental stuff! Hopefully the process can be made much simpler in TSR Workshop and not so limited.

This living chair isn't yet finished. Need further tweaking.

I've updated today with some natural basic patterns. Those are cocos, rattan and wood.

Get them here!

Enjoy!
