I saw the 2nd preview and it looks good. Sally is right the creme looks very nice with the red. $\:cool\:$ Take care. $\:\)$

hiedibear75Jul 27, 2008

Well aren't you a good wittow hubby wubby? $\:P$ I saw shadow66's GB & couldn't resist coming over 2 raz ya about it. $\;\)$ $\:D$ Take care. $\:cool\:$

shadow66Jul 27, 2008

Yep - I'm fully 'utilised'!!! $\:P$ Gonna have to go - my bed is calling - and it's coming up 5am $\:o$ - supposed to be going out tomorrow as well - ooops! $\:P$ Probably catch ya tomorrow night with a bit of luck! $\:D$ Nighty-night! $\:D$

OK - I was wrong about the sofa! $\:o$ That's cool! - You know what would really set it off tho - colour a few of the white tiles with the red or make a diamond pattern on it with red tiles to match the floor - I think it would look really great then! $\:D$ BTW, you do ralise we meant the other bath/shower combi didn't you?!!!!! - why have cheap when expensive does the same job?!!! $\:P$ $\:P$ Just joking - it's very good! $\:rah\:$

shadow66Jul 27, 2008

Let me guess - you've just done a perfectly beautiful sofa to show me how it can be done!! $\:D$ (no, I haven't received it yet!!). Oh, and you got mail - with a question!!! $\:P$

shadow66Jul 27, 2008

You got mail!! - and I was right!!! $\:P$ Yeah, I kinda worked that one out! I used the black template for the 'Very Distressed' dark colours, and the cream template for the pastels, but they were coming out mucky, so I adjusted the hue to make it a more pale grey/off white, then coloured on top, but they were still coming out a bit grubby to my mind! I have been experimenting with it (now I know about it! $\;\)$ ), as you can probably tell! $\:P$ It just gets frustrating at times coz the SimPe previews don't look anything like how they turn out in game, so I have to keep going in-game to check them out and that takes forever on my poor old comp! $\:\($

shadow66Jul 27, 2008

Hiya! I mailed you some pics to see what you thought - had some time to kill, so I did some more - sent you those too!! $\:P$ I kept them as small as I could - don't want you taking 3 months to receive them! $\:P$ Yeah, it went ok, thanks - had a bit of a glitch with PSP - it just didn't want to colour some of them, only the background, yet others it was ok about - seemed to depend on the colour for some reason?! $\:rolleyes$ : I used 'Darken' rather 'Normal' for the other colours coz I thought they were turning out somewhat 'in your face' - I quite like the way some of them have turned out, not so sure about the others tho' $\:confused\:$ Any thoughts/comments/ideas would be greatly appreciated $\:D$

BoBoBerryJul 27, 2008

No problem! Thanks! $\:\)$

BTW, Just thought I'd let you know Hiedi was kinda right about the free subscription day (just missed off the extra '0', and got the timing completely wrong, but hey, the intention was good!! $\:P$ - bless!) - costs 7500 and you can have them twice a month! I've been thinking about it for ages now, but never quite got around to it - need a new hard drive first!!!!! $\:P$ It's kinda crazy - you start off struggling to get enough kudos to get a minisite, then once you've paid out on that, there's not really that much else to spend it on - got more than I know what to do with now!! $\:P$ $\:D$

shadow66Jul 26, 2008

I left a couple of suggestions on your bathroom, but to summarise - yeah, it's cool, I'm liking - big thumbs up!! $\:D$ I've re-done the sofas you'll be pleased to hear - even tried a couple of others! $\:P$ 'Mail' sent btw - in case you come here first! - Will tell you more then!! $\;\)$ Catch ya later! $\:D$

DIZZYDNBJul 26, 2008

I am not very creative - I just down load stuff, I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK you for all your work and creativeness, I love the wilderness set thanks again $\:\)$

hiedibear75Jul 26, 2008

Say.....did you know you can use some kudos (750 I think) to buy a 24hr subscription? $\;\)$ You can only do it every 6mo. but it'd be a way for you guys to get your hands on "the good stuff". $\:ph34r\:$ I was just thinking you could get the nicer looking farm animals from windkeeper for your barns amongst other things. $\;\)$

BoBoBerryJul 26, 2008

Thanks's for leaving that comment in my guestbook! and for bookmarking me! You're being really helpful! You have a wonderful evening as well. ^^ Thanks, Bobo $\;\)$

shadow66Jul 26, 2008

3-5 hrs for a video - this will make you laugh then $\;\)$ When I was on good old dial-up, there was a recording of a concert we'd been to posted (NOT an illegal one mind!) and my daughter had appeared on the 'big screen' at this gig, so really wanted a copy - I didn't object coz it was a great show! $\:P$ Anyway, it was 3 DVDs worth, & you know how long it took me to download all that - EXACTLY 6 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days!!! and that was pretty much continuous connection! Yeah, I do quite a bit of home video and photo editing so that's what mainly takes up the space $\:P$ Anyway, I'm off to bed now - I'll let you know how my sofas went tomorrow $\:P$ $\:D$

shadow66Jul 26, 2008

Guess we crossed again! It's a really nice offer, but it is kinda cheating, and I wouldn't be able to honestly say it was all my work now would I?! $\:o$ I can be a stubborn mule at times (according to my mum anyway!), and I don't particularly like being beaten, so I'll give it a go - it can't turn out any worse than the ones I've already got! $\:P$ I don't use the 'Messengers' - just good old e-mail - would probably be easier than all the hassle with PMs we have here tho - fine by me if you want to do it that way! $\:D$ My hard drives are full of music, videos, photos, games, etc, etc.... you asked!! $\:P$ As well as being stubborn, I'm also a hoarder - you never know when you're gonna need something! $\:P$ Got most of it backed up, but can't quite get around to deleting it from the hard drive - just in case! $\:o$ You've got better specs than me - dual core versus Athlon 64 - I wonder who's gonna win that one!! $\:P$ $\:D$

shadow66Jul 26, 2008

Oooops! - looks like we crossed in the post! $\:P$ Touch wood, the last 2 I've bought have been reliable - I only had to turn my graphics card settings down a notch coz it kept overheating when playing 'Oblivion' (but that is rather graphics intense!) on my current one - haven't had any probs since! $\:D$ It's just rather clogged up, especially now I've started creating as well as downloading! - got 3 hard drives (900GB in total) and they're all pretty much full, so it is rather slow, and I've had it for a while now! I quite fancy one of these Quad core extreme machines - trouble is the same thing would happen - it does every time!! $\:P$ $\:D$

shadow66Jul 26, 2008

I'm not even gonna try to reply by PM - it just doesn't like me at all tonight $\:\($ Thanks for your explanation - I just needed to clarify which one you meant! Yeah, your pic looks good and makes it stand out more - I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow and see if I can get mine to look the same - HaHa!! $\:P$ I'm still discovering new things in PSP - hadn't tried playing with those settings before (gives me something new to experiment with! $\:cool\:$ ). Thanks very much for your help - I'll let you know how it goes - and if it doesn't, I'll have to nick yours!! $\:o$ $\:D$

shadow66Jul 26, 2008

It's being a real pain tonight - wouldn't even let me read it without having to log-out, shut down, and log back in $\:mad\:$ $\:mad\:$ $\:mad\:$ Anyway - you got a reply! $\:D$ I've built computers from scratch before - wasn't that brilliant on the software side, but give me a pile of bits and I'd put them together quite happily - and they worked!!!! $\:P$ Just as cheap to buy these days, so I haven't bothered for ages, just done a few upgrades as and when required $\:P$ My poor old thing's struggling a bit now, so I've been thinking of getting a new one - it'd probably have a 'processor-attack' if I presented it with Sims 3 $\:eek\:$ $\:P$
