    Well, full member status didn't take much time at all, did it @LMC6255?!

    Glad to see you'll be with us in this gift giving Mama Dragon! @mmdrgntobldrgn (I had to type that all out. It wouldn't help me until I was done!)

    I’m not ADWilson, but the gifts need to be created from scratch (meaning no store items)
    Oh hamburgers!

    Just to clarify, this is a home made gift exchange, meaning that you have to create something in game and you can use store items in your gift, provided your buddy owns the content already.

    That is really disappointing, I've gone to the site for years and they've always had ads but it's never been malicious. The guides there are usually more thorough than the wiki. I would hate to lose it as a resource over an Ad, but I do not send people to sites I am not comfortable visiting myself and if this is happening then I won't send anyone there in the future.

    Could I ask, since I can't duplicate it happening myself;

    Are you certain that was the only site you were visiting when your browser was hijacked? Had you downloaded anything from an adfly link or mediafire earlier in the day or did you have any other sims sites open in another tab?

    Are you using any adblockers?

    I use two adblocker programs through firefox and have never gotten a pop up on carl's site. I'm on it at least once a week to double check one thing or another.

    I had not. It was visited from my iPad. I could try accessing it on my desktop computer later and let you know the results.

    Hello @LynzSimmer :)

    Each participant (aka Buddy) gets assigned someone and secretly creates stuff in game for them that will be revealed during gifting time. You can use store items in the build provided your Buddy owns the item. However, the focus of this is making a build (residential or commercial) inspired by something found in the Buddy letter.

    Hope this helps clarifies things!

    I'm seeing a lot of talk about links to roofing information. I learned how to roof from this video

    https://youtu.be/3wgOeic9tWg

    It's by Sim Supply on YouTube. He has a nice presentation, speaks clearly and also shows all types of roofing and some of the problems that arise when you try to mix several types of roof on the same house.

    One of the biggest problems is exactly what @friendsfan36 is having and he tells you all about it.

    Not only that, he has a bunch more videos that cover a wide range of building tips.

    Hope this helps :) Sorry but you have to open it in YouTube for some reason.

    @Kgaff - I had no problem watching the video ^^ here in Edge. Maybe certain browsers are picky about certain kinds of videos? ((don't know))

    But, you're right. SimSupply has REALLY good videos that everyone can go look at, on his YouTube page. Like THIS one.
