It's been a long time...
First things first, happy new year to everyone! Yes, a little late but better late than never :-)
It's been some time because of one of my children has serious health problems. I didn't feel like doing anything at all, especially not building or taking care of my website. I guess that's what life's about. But slowly the feeling is coming back although the situation at home isn't getting any better. As it's always nice to have some distraction Bob the Builder comes back to business :-)
Of course I also tried (that's correct, tried) for a few days to play with our great new expansion pack Seasons. Wrong, error, incorrect idea. I bought Monte Vista for a start because I wanted to start Seasons in a new world. I have been playing for a couple of days before sending my created family and world to the bin. My screen slowly turned into a dadaistic painting with strange triangular tiles. First I thought my Mac couldn't handle Seasons (having a gaming Mac, right) but some research learned my Mac in combination with Seasons (only Autumn) isn't the right marriage. In case you want to read some more because you're experiencing the same problem, read BluebellFlora's blog to find more info. Having this said I was fed up with all the graphic problems, glitches and bugs and for now I will leave Seasons for what it is, an expansion pack with lots of stuff I can use in my houses :-)
But I was able to take a look around in Monte Vista, the new Italian styled world. It's gorgious I can tell you. The buildings have this worn, old exterior. The little town on the hill looks every bit like a mediterranean village. It has nice spacious houses, although the bathrooms are a little too spacious to my liking, with hilly gardens. Even the terrain paint they used has this nice fading green colour instead of the normal bright, non-realistic grass. Pity though this grass wasn't included in the terrain paint in game. Some building are missing like a Festival lot but Graham Nardone, one of the producers on the Sims, build a Festival Ground especially for Monte Vista. Grab it from the Exchange 'cause it fits perfect in this world!
Most of my buildings are situated in Sunset Valley but now I will start some new buildings in Monte Vista, of course in the same style as the town. And for now, let's kick some a.. and start building.....
