I'm Back

You probably noticed that already since I've been posting downloads the last week or so, but I wanted to write something here to make it official.  I still think the game is too dark in most cases, but now my biggest complaint is that the stone countertops are way too reflective.  Add a white or cream colored counter in a kitchen, add ceiling lights, and you'll be blinded.  But I am looking forward to the next expansion, Pets, and have added a poll for it here on my minisite so be sure to vote!  And I've got plenty more houses to upload, so stay tuned :)

What would you think of a neighbourhood of homes?

Somehow, I've gotten it into my head that I should build a community of homes, ranging in prices based on a community that is being built near me.  For anyone that would like to check out the real community and floor plans:

http://www.princeedwardestates.com/index.html

I like the neighbourhood and the look of where they are being built.  I wish that I had any idea how to create a terrain map for TS3 so that I could put these homes into a well rounded world to play.  One that would have this community on a beachy/marshy waterfront area, a set downtown area including apartments, businesses and shopping, and another residential area.  I tried downloading the World Creator, but to no avail!  I heard it has been rendered obsolete anyhow since all the patching and expansions have been released, but it still would have been cool to try!  I have never, in any of The Sims versions created a world for them to play in.  I've played custom worlds, dreamt of creating one, but I have never built one myself. 

The first home up for bids is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath.  I may alter this floor plan a little bit, but here it is:

I like the idea of a double garage, single story home that's elegantly decorated.  I've fully furnished almost all of my homes so far, but I kind of wonder if some people wouldn't just like the bare bones in the home to decorate and furnish as they would like.  I know that I personally HATE having to decorate and furnish when I download a home.  I like that it's all done for me.  I may change a wallpaper here or there, but I like that it's all laid out for me.  If I have to landscape a little bit, I don't mind.  It's fun trying to match up the property to the world that I have created. 

Incidentally, if anyone has seen any dressers that are modeled like closet doors (I know I downloaded one here years ago for TS2 - I think it was Windkeeper's model) I could really use them.  I like to try and stay as close to plan as possible, but if I can't then I always alter the plan a little bit. 

What do you think?

No more makeup for a while :(

Today, I had some problems with my Sims 3 game, so I uninstalled it and now it won't install, so until I get a new game, there won't be any items from me :( It's quite upsetting for me really because the Sims 3 was something I'd do to help me relax after a hard day, and it was a great escape from the real world. However, it's not the end of the Sims 3 or my items for me, because I will be getting a new one, just not yet.

If anyone wishes to know the problem I had installing; it would get stuck on fullbuild0.package and wouldn't go any further. I cleared my cache, fixed my registry, cleaned my computer with still no luck. However, it installs on my brothers computer which is the same make but with more problems, which baffles me, so if anyone can come up with some kind of solution that I would be ever so grateful!

Thank you all for downloading my items and visiting, and there will be more items soon!

COMMENT BELOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!!!

HI THERE

I have no sims at the mo, PC not working, so I surf around TSR for when I do get it back. Abientot.

Game crash!

Unfortunately while installing Generations my game crashed completely! I've lost all my families, and all the sims I hadn't yet exported to upload on here! (there were A LOT of sims!)

It doesn't matter too much, I managed to get the game fixed and running, and I can re-build all of my lots and sims.

The only thing I'm really disappointed about is now I'm not going to be able to continue Bridgeport or Bust! I exported Courtney, Scarlett and Ben so I could probably start it again, but it's going to completely ruin the story I had planned!

I think I'm just going to say goodbye to that for now. I was really enjoying making it, and maybe I'll continue it later, but for now I'm going to concentrate on my sims.

Who knows, maybe I'll start a completely new story! But like I said, I'll be concentrating on my sims from now on, and I've got my blog to keep me amused too! http://scribblingsbyme.blogspot.com/

I'm just glad I managed to get my game running again!!

Question ^^

Okay, so this is just a quick post, so that you all know that I'm still alive :P Anyway, to the point. I wanted to ask you all what kind of makeup/items that you want to see. It would be nice to know that the items that I provide for you all is liked and appreciated, so that is why I'm asking you all what kind of items you like the most and would like to see more of on TSR. :)

I hope that some of you leave me some sort of feedback my commenting anywhere on my profile or in this blog post. Thank you!

SUCCESS!!!

Yay!! I got The Happy Hideaway to upload properly today!!!

Apparently the fault was completely mine as I should have known better than to try and use Internet Explorer.  Bugger Microsoft, I'm sticking with Foxfire!  I just got this computer and never thought that that could possibly be the reason but, oh well, at least there is now a grand success!!!

I hope you all get to see it and enjoy it soon!

And now back to building ;)

Am I the only one having upload problems???

So... Finished the lot that has consumed all of my time recently and I really want to upload it to share with you all.. BUT I CAN'T!

It's so frustrating!!! I've been trying for days but the submission system is just not working for me! So I will have to show off pictures here instead.

Am I the ONLY one with this problem?

Special Thank You's go out to Pralinesims and Takdis for the patterns that are featured throughout this home.  I loved them, I hope you will too!
