    Morning guys!!! I think I might have found a solution --- or, at least ONE solution --- to my picture hosting "problem". @BreeMiles sent me a PM asking me if I was still looking for one. And *what* she told me.... (doh!) .... well, let's just say that I wasn't aware of this!

    Still looking into HOW to do this. I'm NOT a blogger.

    In between phone calls, I finally got MY letter done. I apologize now to WHO EVER might get me. This is just how I've been feeling lately.

    **************************************


    Username: Prissy **I prefer to be called this. NOT MsPrissy. JUST Prissy**

    Link to your Sims 3 My Page: (This is to help me when Buddy pairings are being made, especially if I don’t know you very well. If you’d rather not put your link here, please send me a PM with this information) http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/MsPrissy88

    I have installed the following Expansion Packs: EVERYTHING

    I have installed the following Stuff Packs: EVERYTHING

    I own the following Store Content: Even though I own pretty much of the store, I ONLY play with/use certain pieces

    I own the following EA-made Worlds: (Please note that others might not feel comfortable using a custom world so it would be beneficial to provide your Buddy with a list of only those made by EA) ALL OF THEM

    Some of my favorite colors are: BLUE!! ((absolute favorite)) ... Purple/Magenta... Orange (but more towards the "burnt" side. not **real** dark) ... Pastel Green, Yellow, Red, and of course, Blue

    I really don’t like this color: BROWN. (although I use the color in woods, I DON'T want this on a wall)

    I love to use items from this set: SORRY. I DON'T WANT ANY STORE CONTENT *please read "Other" section*

    I prefer to play in this EA-made World: Haven't really played a lot in any of them (just getting *back in to* playing my game)

    I enjoy this style of build the most: (Example: Victorian) I love Victorians! (but they have to be built on a big enough lot). I also love Traditional style homes, and Cottages. Ranch style homes as well!!

    I really don’t want this in my game: NO CC ... NO STORE CONTENT!!! Sorry. Whatever you create - be it a house or a sim - CAN BE CREATED using only items from any of the packs!

    I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: (If you’re a fan of tiny lots then here is a great place to mention that! If larger lots make your game lag while loading them, mention that too!) ** IF you choose to build me a house, then I would like to have lots that are 30 by 30, 40 by 30 (the sideways version. 40 being the long/width side), OR 40 by 40. NOTHING ELSE

    I want/don’t want berry sims: NO BERRY SIMS!!! (I am NOT a fan of this kind of sim)

    I want/don’t want occult sims: (Be sure to specifically list those that you are fine with or mention which ones you don’t want to see in your game!) NO OCCULT SIMS

    I want/don’t want pets in the household: (Like cats more than dogs? Like bundles of cute puppies over horses? Don’t want any of them? Mention it!) NO PETS!! I love them, but I will create my own, or adopt from within game. Thanks

    Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? (Example: A couple of points, but not maxed out) IF you choose to skill a sim that you CREATED, then a few points ONLY

    Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? (Example: A few points in Cooking would be nice so sims don’t burn the waffles and can make more than a mean bowl of cereal!) Again... IF you choose to skill up a sim that YOU CREATED, I would like cooking, gardening and handiness ONLY. And only a few points each.

    Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? (Example: I love having sims that can cook, garden, paint and write so having those skills would be awe-sim!) IF you choose to build me a house, then - if you please - I would like THESE ITEMS to be included... an EASEL, a fenced-in garden, a computer, and a decent stove that will help in cooking. Thank you!

    Other: (Describe here anything that you’d really like that might or might not have been previously mentioned!)
    Again, I know that I am being picky when it comes to having store content in something that you MIGHT build for me. The reason why I don't want any store content, is because - say that I don't have enough sim points to buy it. I TELL the person who did the gifting this, but THEY don't do anything about it. Then I have to scramble to get the funds together in order to get it. Sorry. This might be hurtful, but I have A LOT to deal with with what I have/own now. As I said... EVERY THING can be created/built just using what was given to us inside each pack. BE CREATIVE!! **I am allowing you to RECOLOR anything your little heart desires! And IF you really want to get creative, you can ALSO incorporate a "Create A Pattern" - if you want to.

    Ah, I love these exchanges! Having just recovered from a serious illness, I'm going to sit back this time and just lurk and comment. But my recommend-pressing finger won't be broken! :D

    ATTENTION!!!


    For those of you who MIGHT still be looking for a place to "hold" - and share - your images ... DO NOT USE GOOGLE+ !!!

    I know that BreeMiles was only trying to help. BUT IT DOES NOT WORK IN HERE!! :s I already tried. :(

    This is ONLY if you have a Google account. {{ which I do }}


    The search CONTINUES for a place to hold my pics. But, TRUST ME ... I am still thinking of just using my own website.

    Thank you for the invite Addy. Wonderful to see that another Gift Exchange is happening. I've been playing a lot of TS4 lately, haven't even opened up my TS3 game in awhile. I'll definitely put a letter in :)

    I own the following Store Content: Everything (just let me know which packs and store content was used so I can ensure it was installed.)

    I own the following EA-made Worlds: Everything, just let me know which was used.

    Some of my favorite colors are: Black, Purple, blue, red, white.

    I really don’t like this color: mustard yellow, green yellow, not a huge fan of pastels, but ok if they are used.

    I love to use items from this set: Not Picky.

    I prefer to play in this EA-made World: Any.

    I enjoy this style of build the most: Rustic, Modern, Minimalist, Contemporary, Gothic.

    I want/don’t want occult sims: I'm ok with Occult.

    Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? Up to you.

    Other: A home to use for an Off the Grid challenge, that can function without lights or plumbing would be really cool. I really like out of box thinking, but for the most part, have fun and I'll love whatever.

    That sounds like such a neat idea.

    Do you guys mind if I ask a really stoopid question?


    HOW do you "paint" the bottom of a platform?

    36350509061_5692345e9c_b.jpg

    I'm just building a new house for myself, and I literally forgot HOW.

    ********************************

    EDIT: Omg. I really am stoopid. :s:D Right after I had asked Sweet Poyzin (on her facebook page), it dawned on me. NEVER MIND!!!

    You can change the wall paper on it with the wall paper tool or just recolor it by using the CASt dropper to bring it up.

    Thanks @Jessabeans for quickly answering the question @MsPrissy88 had :)

    Hey guys! I just wanted to stop by and check in with you all. I have a LOT going on in the next few weeks, so I won't be able to participate this time around, but I will be lurking around the thread. I can't wait to see what you all come up with and recommend your creations!
  • ADWilsonADWilson Posts: 6,755 Member
    Sorry you can't join @blair2396 but hopefully the timing of the next one will work :)

    Hi all! It's been a while since I've been (actively) here and to be honest I have missed it hehe

    Sadly I can't join this time as next week my man and I will go on vacation (which would lead to missing two check-ins) and when we come back I'm starting a new study. I'll be studying to become an English teacher so maybe I can get back here a lot as homework to keep my English up to date ;)

    @tanubanue happy birthday! August people rock ;)
    Don't forget to take care of yourself every now and then in this big chaotic world!

    Sounds like a good idea to me :)

    Another idea rattling around in my noggin is spreading the word and hopefully getting more Buddies to join because ... the more, the merrier! If any of you know a SimFriend or two who has or hasn't been a Buddy before and think they'd enjoy joining, then please feel free to invite them.

    Username: MoonandStars83 (a.k.a. CottonCandyFaery)

    Link to your Sims 3 My Page: http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/CottonCandyFaery

    I have installed the following Expansion Packs: All

    I have installed the following Stuff Packs: All

    I own the following Store Content: All except branded content, Origin exclusives, and most limited addition things

    I own the following EA-made Worlds: All

    Some of my favorite colors are: Blue, Green, Purple

    I really don’t like this color: Anything that resembles vomit

    I love to use items from this set: Depends on my mood, though I do get a bit obsessed with cooking and gardening.

    I prefer to play in this EA-made World: Again, depends on my mood.

    I enjoy this style of build the most: Gothic (gargoyles, secret rooms, several floors)

    I really don’t want this in my game: Anything goes, pretty much.

    I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: Nothing under 40x40, please.

    I want/don’t want berry sims: Builder's choice

    I want/don’t want occult sims: Builder's choice

    I want/don’t want pets in the household: Builder's choice

    Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? Skills are nice. Level is up to builder.

    Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? Basic cooking and gardening is nice. Anything else is up to the builder.

    Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? Builder's choice.

    Other: I tend to do family play, and usually end up with a maxed out Sim count, so I like big lots with tons of rooms.

    Side Note: I'm kind of terrible at building, so my participation is a learning experience and a way to hone my incredibly lacking skills. I'll do my best to build a nice house with a family, but you may just end up with a park and a family. I'm also bad a decorating, but I'll try my best. I apologize in advance to the person who lands me as a gifter.

    Happy Simming, all!!
