Thanks for everything to all

I would like to thanks all the artists who contribute to this site and enable us to download their work.  Too many to thank individually.

Defection

I am extremely bummed.

I downloaded Create a World and the EA pattern maker tools and then tried to play the Sims. The game wouldn't work, so I unistalled the CoW and the pattern tool. The game opened, but now my neighbourhoods ae all frozen, even creating a new neighbourhood doesn't work.

I have had to reintall The Sims 3 and all the EPs all over again. I'm sure many of you have experienced the frustration when things like this happen.

My Defection characters are now lost. I will not be finishing the story because of this. Or I may continue it at a later stage with similar sims, but for now I am too annoyed.

I am sorry to those who were hanging out for the next part, I know I was looking forward to carrying it on. But the whole point of a legacy challenge is to follow the same sims from beginning to end and this is no longer possible, which detracts from the purpose in the first place!

Sorry again, I may just have to start on something new.

With annoyance

Leni.

Justin Kim; In a House with no windows.

Household:  Justin Kim / adult

Ask any sim in pleasantview where Justin Kim lives, they will tell you to follow the trail of girls to the log cabin with the tatch roof.  You can't miss it, it's the only house with no windows and a glass front door.  No one compalians, at least not openly in decent society, about Justin's house having no windows.  Around other sims they claim what you see through the front door is enough to make you glad he didn't install windows.

Justin had invested a good deal of simiolions into the townhouse he'd been renting after college.  He'd just finished fixing it up when his phone service stoped working.  He couldn't surive without a phone.  he'd heard rumors about phone outages happening at Sim State, but he didn't think it would happen in the main nieghborhood.  Annoyed that the land lady couldn't fix his service,  he packed up his stuff and moved out.  He was close to broke after having spent so much on new floors and wall coverings.  there wasn't one house in his budget.  not wanting another rental, he bought a little vacent lot just down a side street from where his father had been living with Clyde.  With the little bit of simolions he had left Justin built a one story square house.  it was big enough to hold everything he'd had at the town house but not big enough for anything else.  He'd want the house to have a light airy feeling when he installed the glass door, but when he went for windows, well he was simply out of money.

Justin enjoyed the scandloues image he had in the nieghborhood.  Being a romantic at heart he felt not having windows only enhanced his reputation with a shrowd of mystery.  Though he might claim that the trial of girls was a bit of an exageration, he would have to admit he did enjoy having his female friends hanging out.  

After his nephew Rob's birthday party he wished nothing more then to have his sister-in-law, Brie, join his collection of lady friends.  He went about his normal morning routine.  Reading the paper and tidying up the house, all the time wanting to talk to Brie and tickle Brie.  Clyde was very important to Justin and he worried about his younger brother's emotional stablity.  there had been so much more to the story of Cynthia and Don then the twin knew.

Justin was a child when they had moved their house into Pleasantview to start a new life.  Robert and Cynthia didn't change as much as they had planned and promised Justin.  they found new jobs and there was more family dinners together but they both seemed cool and aloft towards him, as well as with each other.  things didn't change after the twins were born.  Not right away.  Justin remember the day he and Robert came home to find Don Lothrario in bed with Cynthia.  She swore he'd only came by to see the twins and she got swept up by his charm.  For days, Robert was even more distant.  He spent more time with his son, and helped with the care of the twins.  finally, he made the decision things really needed to change.  they sold their house and bought the farm house. 

"Maybe a normal family house will make us a normal family," Robert had told Justin.  For a while, it did.  

Justin had to distract himself from his thoughts of his beautiful sister-in-law and his temtations that could distroy his brother's happiness.  what better distraction from one girl was there then a house party with lots of girls.  Justin invited a group of people he wasn't fully friends with the hopes of getting to know some of them or at least one a lot better.  He inivited Kitty Crazy, her son Dan and his wife Mellow, a very pregnate Gina Goth,  the young teen Stacy Fancey, Dustin Broke and of course two of the three Pleasant sisters, Megan Dreamer and Lilith Broke.  Everyone but Dan came.  The party was a blast.  though Dustin was a bit of a drag.  a houseful of pretty girls and all Dustin would do is pester Justin about Heart Happiness.

It wasn't that Justin wasn't greatful for all that Dustin had done for his son with Heart.  Dustin may have only been Heart's stepfather but he had opened his door to the young woman when Bobbie was just a baby.  Justin had been around for the child in the beginning, but after Heart got married to Amin, Justin wasn't invited to anything concerning Bobbie.

Justin did his best to avoid Dustin, who would sit sulking infront of the tv instead of enjoying the company of the pretty ladies.  Justin tried chatting up Kitty, Mellow and Lilith though none seemed intrested in staying the night.  Megan and Gina seemed insepreatable,  far from their college days of fighting.  Stacy seemed friendly enough, but he mostly wanted her around because she was a friend of his son's and of course he wanted know about her sister Lizzy.

after a roof raising part, Justin was restless.  He was going to call someone to come over, when the phone rang. 

"I had a lot of fun," Stacy Fancey blurted over the phone.

"Glad to hear that. tell your sister Hi for me," Justin rushed her off the phone.  there was someone more intresting out front, Cassandra Goth. 

Justin sauntred out to engage the lovely elderly widow into conversation.  She was the only elder Sim who had kept up her youthful look.  She still sported her signiture pink bob that looked so eleagent with her flowy pink flora sun dress.   He got her chating and sharing intest. 

"it's getting late, you should stay the night," Justin purposed.

She accepted and after a romanic kiss in the moon light, they retreated to his bed to relax and share some woo-hoo.

Justin served omlets in the morning.  She watched a little tv while he read the paper.   He asked her to leave around 9am,  telling her he had things to do.

He headed down to Crypto's to check out the action.  It was early still but there where a few people.  Gilly Broke joined him on the dance floor, and they chated some. Gilly's nephew Brian arrived.  Justin and Brian had once been frineds but that was before Justin gotten involved with Brian's half sister Heart.  Now all they did was fight.  Justin tryed to apologize agian to Brian.  Brian would not listen. 

"first you leave my sister with your child, then you try to get my wife to stay the night", Brian said shoving Justin. 

Justin didn't feel like spending his day fighting with Brian, so he went home and called Heart to come over to disscuss their son, Bobbie.  Even though their son was grown and attending Sim State, she came over.  She always came over and he always managed to get her to woo-hoo with him.

As they drifted off to sleep he wispered, "you'll always be mine."

When Justin woke up she was gone. 

Feeling restless still, he decided it was time for a carreer change.  He was already the youngest sim to reach his life asperation as a professional party guest.  He decided to go for his second life asperation as a rock god.  He checked the computer finding a job in the music carreer.  it was a cut in pay but more days of working.  maybe after a promotion he could put in some windows, or maybe not. 

First sims 3 creation =)

Submission Help

Hi guys. I need some help.

Does anyone know how to add batch uploads with regards to Sims stories?

I have a story I want to submit :D

Dandywine Mile Marker

I don't often blog.....Okay, rarely do I blog, I just wanted to stamp a date on the fact that my DANDYWINE COLLEGE community lot just past 10,000 downloads within the last couple of days. I know it remains the top download fetcher in the community section. I don't have the time to comb through all the residential lots just to stroke my ego so I can't vouch for the residential section.  Just shy of 13 months after it's publication it continues to get downloaded almost daily. Honestly, I've never understood that makes it so popular, being unfurnished, undecorated and so carernous.  If you have a hunch please share it with me. I mean what are you people doing with this thing? Perhaps it gets downloaded out of shear curiosity. But there it is nontheless and from the bottom of my heart I thank each of you downloaders for allowing me to own this personal mile marker.

Clothing and More

Originally I thought that I would stick to creating houses for the sims but lately I have been learning so much about creating other objects and clothes and have been quite hooked by that too so on this blog and amongst my creations you will see not only houses and lots but also clothing and one or two other objects.

So far I have uploaded the following clothes:

Please let me know what you think of my clothes - I enjoy getting feedback so that it will help me improve my creations.

Suspicious looking video - aka my next project

It's suspicious, it's creepy and it's my next project!

Yeah, that's one of the chambers in the tomb that I'm working on at the moment. I only discovered World Adventures Expansion last week, but I'm having so much fun in Egypt that I had to make an addition to the scenery. Thanks to Blackgarden, who's been teaching me how to work out the processor, I've been setting up cool puzzles for you to solve. The tomb will be filled with them, dark corridors, mysterious warp wells, triggers and traps and, of course, treasure, lots and lots of treasure! :D
