@Sonshine77 - Usually the download page on the exchange shows most of what you need. If you don't have something, it'll just be replaced. It shouldn't keep you from enjoying the challenge.
Thanks Ciane! I was pretty tired last night and so didn't even think of doing that. I did buy most of the things she used though. I'm off to try it out.
@Sonshine77 I'd have to know which download you were referring to? Although if it's the farm (Mojica) one, then that was built early s3 days so a quick double check shows 9 build buy items, the sims are a different story since they were created more recently.
The game will auto replace/remove anything you don't have, so it shouldn't be to big of a deal.
Latest quilt picture, for those of you who've been watching it grow. 44 more blocks to make, and then I start sewing it together.
Your quilt looks amazing! That particular pattern is very tedious, but still simpler than curved piecing. I used to try my hand in quilting, but eventually gave it up.
About the Midnight Sun challenge, I intend for one of the kids to invent solar panels (make believe since I do not have EA's items). Then they will have a limited source of electricity. I wish EA would feature these solar panels and/or wind generators again. I just added a 2nd story to the house so now they have the "basement" and 2 levels above. The mom wants to grow a forbidden fruit so I have her doing gene splicing experiments to get it. I plan to use the "tend garden" to harvest it though so I don't get a plant sim.
ETA: I also have them on the celeb list and so they get a number of gifts that I mostly sell. So far, a couple that they've gotten are 2 of the most expensive non futuristic cars available!

@Sonshine77 Thanks for the compliment on the quilt! It's all made from left-over bits from my mother's and my sewing over the years - some of my mother's fabrics are bits from nearly sixty years ago. She downsized and we had to help her to get rid of stuff, so I took a load of fabric. I don't do curved piece quilting as it's waaay too hard!

That's what women used to do! That's where we get "crazy quilts" from. Women used bits and pieces of leftover fabric from making clothing and other things.
On my Midnight Sun challenge, I had Suzuki master martial arts and got up to breaking space rock blocks. One of the gems he got was a tiberium! They're gonna be rolling in the dough by the time 5th gen comes, LOL
Tiberium must be fairly new in the space rock blocks though. A couple of years ago, I had one of the Alvi boys master martial arts and do space rock breaking and never got a tiberium. He got everything else, but not a tiberium.

I did a classic english quilt in hexagons with left-overs too - the log cabin style is more american, I think - all hand-sewn which took ages, but looks great now it's done. I need to get this current one finished though, as it's a Christmas present for my niece. No simming today for a while - I need to go sew!
Hope you have a good end-of-week and a great weekend too.
I loved to see a pic of the log cabin style you did. Good luck finishing that quilt now. I will miss your updates though!
I did find lots of examples for the log cabin style and love it. See here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/301741243767723141/

Thanks! I've got most of the next chapter done, but not all of it...and I find I need a decent stretch of time to write, otherwise it just gets very choppy in style. I'm hoping to finish the chapter soon, but I'm not holding my breath 44 quilt blocks to go, and then it's the sewing togwther, which isn't as lengthy in some ways.
Hope you have a really good weekend! The daqys are getting noticeably shorter here now, so we have to remember to grab the daylight while we can get out into it. We're planning a winter holiday in the sunshine though
I started the Warehouse Reno, but then I got caught up in the Mars Challenge for Build n Share, then we took a short trip to Branson, Mo. That was a lot of fun. We went to a small zoo where they encourage you to interact with the animals. I got to hold a baby kangaroo and feed a bunch of camels. Two things off my bucket list that I never even thought of putting on it!! The animals were all so very gentle and we had a blast.
Anyways, I'll be going back to the warehouse soon.
@SamelaRita Your quilt is beautiful. I have mine almost done, I still haven't found the perfect backing yet, I'm thinking of using fleece this time.
What LOVELY quilts, @SamelaRita and @Kgaff
Both of you are quite talented in this area which comes as no surprise since you're creative/talented with your builds and storytelling
@Kgaff Your quilt is gorgeous! I love the colours, and the style too - that's really clever layout. I like the way you've mixed stripes and florals and checks and made the colour do the talking. @ciane Love the picture - that's seriously complicated log cabin - my blocks are all just half blue, half white, so the skill at the end will be getting the final layout just so, but I'm not trying to make a complex pattern on the way. @ADWilson Thanks for the compliment! If there was a blushing emoji, I'd have picked that one.
I also love the way you laid out the colors on your quilt @kgaff and I'm looking forward to reading your warehouse story and seeing what your YAs decided to do differently than mine. @SamelaRita

Wow! You are ambitious to to all that sewing by hand! I don't think I'd have the patience for that, lol. I don't even have the patience to do hand applique, lol My eyesight isn't the best either now. Getting cataract surgery the first week of next month.

I got a bit bored w/that Midnight Sun challenge so I decided to take up yours. Just started last night. Sold all of the brush and dead trees, some of the decos and the horse stall. That gave me enough money to expand the bathroom to make room to put the tub in there and to create a bedroom for the kids and to recolor some of the things and to buy some oil lamps. I will also be buying a table and chair and a "typewriter." Haven't made a nursery yet. I didn't look at their skills yet, but whoever does not have the gardening skill will probably get put on writing and the other one writing when the garden is caught up. I got curious though and was wondering who the father of the unborn baby is?
