    Wow!! I almost missed it too! Nothing like being almost last minute!!
    At first I didn't think I could meet the deadlines for the ending but it turns out now that all is good!! :)

    Buddy Letter form:

    Username: Kgaff

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

    I have installed the following Expansion Packs: All of them

    I have installed the following Stuff Packs: High-End Loft stuff, Town Life, Master Suite, 70's, 80's & 90's stuff, Diesel Outdoor Living

    I own the following Store Content: Everything except pre order sets, Katy Perry, Dr. Pepper and a few misc. clothing items.

    I own the following EA-made Worlds: I have all the EA worlds

    Some of my favorite colors are: blue, peach, yellow, soft greens. Beach colors, woodsy colors, mellow colors

    I really don’t like this color: Bright orange, purple, really dark colors and please go easy on the brown (except for wood of course)

    I love to use items from this set: I use it all and mix it up so whatever you have, go for it!

    I prefer to play in this EA-made World: I use all of them except Midnight Hollow

    I enjoy this style of build the most: Ranch, Victorian, Second Empire, traditional style family homes. For commercial lots I enjoy having multiple things to do on the one lot like eating, something fun or athletic or artistic.

    I really don’t want this in my game: can't think of anything

    I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: 20x20, 30x30 are best but if you need more or less room that's okay too! [Please no 40x30 lots] I usually play a single sim so one or two bedrooms if perfect if you are going build a house

    I want/don’t want berry sims: no thank you

    I want/don’t want occult sims: Witches or fairies are okay. I don't really play with the occult too much.

    I want/don’t want pets in the household: Sure! I like all of them but only one per household

    Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? A couple of skill points of any kind is great

    Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? If you have time but totally not required

    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!) I love having a computer, starter garden and I really like my sim to have the sketch pad and/or the drafting table instead of an easel

    Other:
    I'm open to everything, just have fun, use your imagination, let yourself go!

    If you don't like to build, there are lots and lots of homes and/or businesses in all the towns that really could use a remodel.


    This text is to certify that I have read the posts and will follow the rules for participation as well as pay attention to important dates.

    @MiaSkywalker Thanks! I have wanted to set up my own website for my sims stuff for a long time and even more now that my forum threads are full of broken pictures. I might be looking for a solution with less setup required for the sake of this exchange (if such a thing is available), but thank you very much for the information! I'll definitely look into it.
  • JessabeansJessabeans Posts: 3,714 Member
    @KaytayRoall I made a tumblr account and just upload pictures there so I can link them on the forums. It's worked okay so far, and it only took a few seconds to sign up. It's another option to look into but weebly and wordpress are great options too. I still have broken picture links everywhere from when the forums were moved to this new site. (I say new, it's like 4 years old now.) Welcome to the late arrivals, glad to see more people participating.

    @KaytayRoall: Oh, weebly is VERY easy to use. Website creation is all drag and drop. Personally, I wish there were a way to enter my own code to my page; I can't figure out right now if there's a way to do spoilers, and that kind of bothers me.

    I don't know if it's easier or harder than WordPress, but I also don't know if WordPress would allow 3rd party linking to images.

    @Kgaff: Great to see you here! Always nice to have you in an exchange like this. :)

    It's good to know that weebly is easy to use, I've visited sites made with it but haven't used it myself so I don't know much about it. I have hotlinked pictures from wordpress before but it's been ages so I don't know if it's changed since then. It's just a very easy to use blog site that lends itself well to sites that you just want to quickly set up and not really worry about customizing too much. I suppose that's the only reason I've mentioned it.

    I was mostly just trying to say something instead of just refreshing this page, come on buddy name! *shucka shucka*

    When Photobucket decided to mess with everyone, someone suggested Flickr as a place to host images. They can be shared to 3rd party sites - like here. So, that's what I've been doing.
