@Mystik1978@SamelaRita@MsPrissy88 Hello, Hello, I am so happy to see you all again!! It's been a while since Spring..This going to be one Awe-Sim gift exchange!!
@Mystik1978@SamelaRita@MsPrissy88 Hello, Hello, I am so happy to see you all again!! It's been a while since Spring..This going to be one Awe-Sim gift exchange!!
I prefer to play in this EA-made World: I use them all except for Midnight Hollow (too dark), but not the space ones very often.
I got a lighting mod for the world and someone recolored the dark flora and fauna as well, so that made it much nicer for me.
Having enough room to have MH in its own sims 3 folder is nice. Then the lighting mod won't effect any other world. But you can always just pop that mod in and out as needed.
Welcome back to the gift exchange to both you and @MsPrissy88 (and everyone else too, of course).
Holy cowwwww .... Looks like the gang is back together. lol
I know I agreed to do some "furnish me" stuff for sims 4 -- ( i probably will still get to those ) -- but, I have been waiting for Addy to announce another one of these!! (yaaaaaaaaay!)
I finally found my latter from this past Spring's gift exchange. I just have to look it over and possibly tweak it.

I finally found my latter from this past Spring's gift exchange. I just have to look it over and possibly tweak it.
@MsPrissy88 I was so happy to see some familiar buddies (the gang) and I'm hoping to see more of our Spring exchange buddies return!
I have installed the following Expansion Packs: All of them
I have installed the following Stuff Packs: All of them except Katy Perry
I own the following Store Content: Pretty much the whole store. Maybe a few items here or there I don't have but I have all the major sets!
I own the following EA-made Worlds: All of them
Some of my favorite colors are: Blues, Greens, and Reds
I really don’t like this color: Anything Neon (hurts my eyes!)
I love to use items from this set: Bakery Set, Country Living, Greenhouse Set, Grandpa's Grove (basically country/farm-y sets)
I prefer to play in this EA-made World: Appaloosa Plains... though I have recently started playing in Moonlight Falls and I'm quite enjoying it.
I enjoy playing in this custom world (please include link):Great Bear
I enjoy this style of build the most: Farmhouse/Ranch but I also enjoy Craftsman, Traditional, Cabin, and Victorian Builds
I really don’t want this in my game: Modern/Futuristic Type builds. Not my cup of tea.
I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: I would prefer any lots that are 30x30 or bigger. Though if you're building a small community lot, 20x30 or 20x20 is fine. (Just not for homes as I like large families).
I want/don’t want berry sims: Nope on the berry sims.
I want/don’t want occult sims: I'm okay with witches, genies and mermaids.
I want/don’t want pets in the household: I LOVE pets! Pets was the first expansion pack I got and I LOVE it. I love animals in RL but especially horses. I am that girl who never grew out of the "horse-crazy phase". Since I currently can't own a horse nor have as many dogs and cats as I want, I let my sims be overrun with pets.
Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? Doesn't matter to me. If so, maybe just a few skill points (like 2 or 3).
Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? Only really cooking (I tend to play with natural cooks so I don't have to deal with stove fires but I would non-natural cook to have a few skill points in cooking). I would like to try and play around with the gardening skill so maybe a few skill points in gardening too.
Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? Cooking, Writing, Painting... though any instrument would be nice as well.
How do your sims travel around town? Taxi ... vehicle ... bicycle/scooter ... horse ... broom? Horse, Vehicle, or Bike
Other: I just started a legacy in Moonlight Falls and I would love to have a home built for future generations or maybe some sort of business my sims could own. I've never really played around with the Savvy Seller collection or the Bistro set but I would like to try to one of these days.
A holiday themed build would be wonderful as well! Christmas is my favorite holiday and I absolutely LOVE white Christmases (all the snow makes it seem even more magical!)...so maybe something that looks amazing in the snow? Something like a cabin that my sims could go to for Snowflake Day or a small ice skating rink to spend a wintery day at? I don't know... just some ideas. To be honest... I am NOT picky. Basically if you say "Hey Kessie! I made this for you!" I'm going to love it because you took the time and effort to think of me. So create whatever your muse inspires you to create!
This text is to certify that I have read ALL the posts and will follow the rules for participation as well as pay attention to important dates.
It is wonderful! I'm so happy to see everyone and have been thinking about and hoping to see the others you've tagged as well.
I'm totally with suzses
Sorry - that doesn't sound quite up-to-date enough. How about, I'm, like, totes with that, suzses. Does that work better? Or should I just go all Jane Austen (no, I'm not that old!) and express my extreme gratification instead?
Wow! A lot of faces of people I remember (Mama Dragon! Ciane! Mystic! Suzses! Prissy! Kesminlix!), and new ones I haven't seen (LMC6255, SamelaRita), and... RFLONG! Wow, really? I absolutely LOVE your worlds! Hey, can you build a world for this? Just kidding!
I'm not going to join this one again; as Addy knows, I've had some ongoing health issues that come and go, and I never know when they're going to hit. It wouldn't be fair to my buddy if I had a sudden flare-up and became unable to finish my project, so I just won't join. I will be helping Addy with the Custard checks again this time, assuming that I don't get too sick to keep up with it, as happened once before.
And of course, I know that many of you make wonderful things, and I'll get to *enjoy* them at least!
My Buddy Letter has been ready ever since LMC6255 told me that the awesome Gift Exchange is happening again ... but as I haven't uploaded anything to the Exchange since the last one I needed to check if everything works as it should before submitting my form.
All seems to be okay so here it is:
I have installed the following Expansion Packs: All ... patched up to 1.67
I have installed the following Stuff Packs: All except Katy Perry
I own the following Store Content: Pretty much all except a few promotional items
I own the following EA-made Worlds: All
Some of my favorite colors are: I like most colours especially neutral/earthy tones and blues, greens, muted purple/reds
I really don’t like this color: not that keen on bright neon .... or very busy wallpaper patterns in large areas
I love to use items from this set: I suppose I use bits and pieces of all the sets in my sims homes, I especially like items from the Brunch at the Old Mill set, Country Living, Club Vaindenburger, Once Upon a Time and a fair amount of general clutter ... 'The Lemonade Baron' makes an appearance in nearly every one of my builds
I prefer to play in this EA-made World: I tend to build more than I play and spend my time mostly in custom worlds (see below) or my own so I've never developed a fondness for any of the EA worlds ...
I enjoy this style of build the most: (Examples: Craftsman, Victorian, Modern) I have no preference for any specific style ... I'm always amazed at the variety of different builds that are being created.
I really don’t want this in my game: can't think of anything I really dislike
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 it!): I must admit I am very intrigued how builders can squeeze so much into tiny lots but I usually prefer lot sizes between 20x20 and 40x40 max. Large lots are okay for farms and certain community builds.
I want/don’t want berry sims: not particularly
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!) I like all occult sims ... but have not played them a lot
I want/don’t want pets in the household: (Like cats more than dogs? Prefer cute puppies to horses? Don’t want any critters? Mention it!)
Animals whatever form, shape or size are okay, but I'm having difficulties looking after more than 2.
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)
See below
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 grilled cheese and can make more than a mean bowl of cereal!)
A couple of levels in cooking, charisma and handiness would be nice but not necessary ... whatever would suit the sim or my buddy is fine by me.
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 skill objects would be awe-sim!)
I usually like my sims homes to include quite a few activities and all sorts of skill building opportunities ... but they are not essential
How do your sims travel around town? Taxi ... vehicle ... bicycle/scooter ... horse ... broom? (Mention your preference and whether you want a parking spot or two, garage, bike racks, stable, broom stand. Some sims prefer to put transportation in their inventory, if applicable.)
I don't mind if a lot comes with or without any specific transportation storage .... ummm ... except maybe a stable if there is a horse in the household ... can't fit that in your inventory
Other: (Describe here anything that you’d really like that might or might not have been previously mentioned!)
A Christmas log cabin with Santa Claus would be nice or a community lot like a Christmas market maybe .... but then a holiday theme is not really necessary as I am absolutely positive that I will adore whatever my buddy will create as long as they are having fun doing so ... Happy Simming!
This text is to certify that I have read ALL the posts and will follow the rules for participation as well as pay attention to important dates.
~ end of form ~
I am sooo looking forward to seeing everyone's awesome gifts!!!
Wow! A lot of faces of people I remember (Mama Dragon! Ciane! Mystic! Suzses! Prissy! Kesminlix!), and new ones I haven't seen (LMC6255, SamelaRita), and... RFLONG! Wow, really? I absolutely LOVE your worlds! Hey, can you build a world for this? Just kidding!

@MiaSkywalker I am so sorry about your health issues! I hope you get well!! It is awesome seeing you, my first gift exchange was this spring, so I'm still kind of new.. May you have lovely and pain free week!
@Hidehi I am so happy you decided to join the gift exchange!! What a wonderful surprise!! It looks to me like this going to be a really special holiday gift exchange!!
This gift exchange sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm going to be in statistics for my next class. I feel like I really need to focus on that, so I will watch from the sidelines
@Hidehi So glad to see you here again! Loved your spooky upload (ran right over to see what you uploaded). I need to put up something yet, too. It was June last I uploaded anything.
@equuest I wish you had time to join us, but I understand about needing to focus on school. I hope you get along better with statistics than I did.
I have now successfully uploaded a lot and added a note about it to top of my buddy letter. Would anyone be so kind as to remind me what one needs to do to get lot elevations correct when placing a downloaded lot in a new save/location? The house I uploaded is one built on a dock out over the water that I made for my own use in Hylewood, and I want to see if I can use it elsewhere. Thanks
1. Open the game and go to the world that you would like to place this lot in.
2. Make sure you have the correct size lot available but don't place your lot yet.
3. Click on the lot and select the edit lot tool. Wait for the lot to load.
4. Once the blank lot is loaded do the following:
1. Enter the cheat space (Ctrl+Shift+C) and type testingcheatsenabled true press enter
2. Cheat space again and type constrainFloorElevation false press enter
3. Cheat space type setimportedterrainoffset {value} press enter (See note below about the {value} you have to add here)
4. Now reverse the cheat commands constrainFloorElevation true, testingcheatsenabled false, remember to press enter after each command
5. Go to edit town and place your lot
If all went well your lot should now be perfect!!!
ps The command setimportedterrainoffset {value} The value here can be diffrent from what I have used. I tried diffrent values until I got it to where it should be. If your lot is raised instead of sinking you can use a negative value for instance -3.
@Hidehi - welcome back!!! Looking forward to seeing what you create. @MiaSkywalker - I hope you avoid any health flair ups, esp. during the holidays! Hugs. @Kesminlix - Woot! Great to see you here too! @equuest - Sorry you won't be joining in. I love your builds!

SetImportedTerrainOffset (value)
(value) Is a positive or negative number depending on whether the lot created a hole or a mountain.
Or, more exactly: http://oumamea-the-sims3.blogspot.com/2011/03/problems-with-lots-sinking-into-ground.html
2. Make sure you have the correct size lot available but don't place your lot yet.
3. Click on the lot and select the edit lot tool. Wait for the lot to load.
4. Once the blank lot is loaded do the following:
1. Enter the cheat space (Ctrl+Shift+C) and type testingcheatsenabled true press enter
