Bugger!!

Bugger!!!!!!!! I just updated - need I say more? Am I  never going to learn. I mean "REALLY" . Every time I update its the same 'ol same 'ol. Fiddle my way through gazillions of mods restarting the game over and over to see which ones need updating, then for the next few weeks keep checking for the updates while meanwhile - "I CAN"T CREATE SIMS!" - well not properly. So -  I don't know how long it's going to be. I intend on creating a few sets. But I need to be able to start the game first....hohummmmmm.......hi ho hi ho.....

Thanks in advance

If there is one thing I love more than anything, it's writing.  I've been searching for a place to begin writing sims stories again, and like usual I started with the sims 3 exchange, only to quickly become disgruntled.  I'm glad I found a space on here to submit stories for feedback, and I'm really looking forward to hearing what people have to say, as well as building a reputation on this site.  If you can help me get my books published, then I will do anything you want in my stories!  I look forward to working with each and every one of you!

June 12th, The Classic Collection

It’s a collection of classic and traditional bedroom furnishings and scheduled for publication on June 12, 2011. The collection features a massive four-post bed, a dresser with mirror, an animated dresser, tufted chaise lounge, a throw, antique wall clock (decorative only), a smaller version of the potpourri double-globe table lamp, nightstand, flowers in a vase, cushioned bench, and several decorative paintings in an ornate frame. The set is suitable for a male or female Sims.

Initially, I created The Classic Collection mirrored dresser, bench, and nightstand for the French Chateau set, but when I saw the furnishings in game next to the French Chateau bed, I realized they didn't match--the styles are too different. LOL, what was I thinking! 

The antique wall clock is one of my favorite set objects, unfortunately it is decorative only! I really tried to make it functional and I spent 2 days working with S3PE and a RIG editor trying to lower joints, but no go! I hated to trash the mesh, so while it looks good in game it doesn't work! In RL I have a similar clock in my living room, which I never put batteries in--its loud tick, tick, tick drives me crazy!

Happy Simmings,

Carolyn

"I have tried downloading this house into two different neighborhoods in my game - Barnacle Bay and Riverview. The house does not show up! It does not have the empty house icon when I put it on a lot, instead it just has the empty lot icon. I can't see any part of the house/lot at all when I put it in my game. Do you have any idea why this is happening? This lot is AWESOME looking in your pictures and I have the perfect couple to put in this house. Any tips on how to get it to show up?" 

Dear Gtrgrl, I tried to download now  with the browser "Mozilla Firefox" and it downloaded just 2.97 MB and shows an empty place (it become  with the other creations that I had downloaded from EA or TSR).  I do downloading  with the "Internet Explorer" exclusive.
I erased the file from the Sims 3 "Downloads" and downloaded with the "Internet Explorer" .. It is 5.24 GB and it shows the castle  at 6 worlds (1 hours to install everywhere ;D)-Riverview, Sunset Valley, Twinbrook, Bridgerport, Neverglade, Silent Hill (the last two worlds I've downloaded from the creators of the EA). Unfortunately I don't have «Barnacle Bay» .
Maybe you can try to download with some other browser .

Someone downloaded it and is complaining that the castle is not showing up in their hood when they place it. It sounds like they have a bug in their game. There is a bug that causes the houses to fade away and not be seen from hood view. There is no fix to it and it doesn't happen to all lot in the game. ... to actually go into the lot and see if the castle is there. If not, then I don't know. ... to delete the lot from the library bin, and the lot where it placed . Then redownload the lot. One thing that she should check before doing that is to make sure the lot that  is trying to place on doesn't have that little house icon it. If it does, then  will not be able to place the lot. ... to bulldoze the lot and the empty lot icon should show then. Then ... should be able to place the lot."

Coming soon ;)

3 New lots, awaiting completion XD

Okey, for this day i've done 3 lots, 2 residential and one commercial high-rises, one from the old-times NYC style, and two in eco-design style, with sun screens to catch the light XD *fictional of course*. Residentials will be decorated throughout, but the commercial one, will decorated outside, you'll decide what it'll be inside. To make you curious the commercial skyscraper is 32 floors, you have an option of furnishing 3 floors, main hall - first floor, city view area - 21 floor, and the last one 34th floor, also it's possible to add a staircase on the roof if you want to, but there is a massive steel pyramid XD, so there is no much space on top of it XD. The eco-styled residential, is not so high, 20 floors, you flat is on 20th, i think i'll take diagonal part, for "active sim" apt because it's have a good views, and it's on rather good side *i mean on sunny side*. The old-times tenant, is look like a one from Moscow Stalin's High-rises *Hotel Ukraine, MSU or any other from that 7 buildings*, but it's more NYC'ed, so it will suit the other planned buildings, and the Warwick Foundation. So for 2day it's the end, i'm gona go sleep XD G'night everybody =)) ^_^

Off to Chicago for some grandsons' hugs

Its family birthday and celebration time. It seems that late May/early June, October, and December are this family's celebration times with ten birthdays and four anniversaries clumped together in those months. It makes it easier to find excuses to get together then. I hope to bring back pictures of granson's, Freddy, now four and Henry eight! I'll be leaving you with some walls, at least for the 11th.

End of "Erm" XD

Sims 3 = Fixed! :D

Ah, I thought that I should let you all know that my Sims 3 is fixed! :D I'm really happy because I didn't have to buy a new one, I just needed to have my computer (as in the real thing, not in the documents etc) taken apart and cleaned out XO And then everything was fixed! ^^

So, more items on the way! :D
