    Hi Pamhamlet, glad you saw them, I harvested the carrot and sold it and did not see it big in their hands at any time, so I might have to google it to see what exactly I must do too actually see that, she has a big lettuce in her inventory now, so I will keep it there for safekeeping until I figure this one out for you :)

    Henwen you can always suggest it at the store thread, who knows perhaps they will make it for us as store content LOL, Do you want me to try and get a close up for them so you can use that pic when you ask?

    I think it was unleashed that gave the new neighbourhoods because all the extra houses and community lots are unleashed themed


    The Goth Sr family




    Omg this was them! First the two cats had a kitten, then the old people had a baby xDDD Thanks for the screenshots.

    I'm loving comparing things in Sims 1 with those in Sims 3. And some of these pix are hilarious! Was that the Yeti? :lol:

    So glad it was them PirateJandcats, I might play them one day for that baby and kitten LOL

    Its amazing how many things there is here that is in sims 3 hey Lanlyn :) The Yeti is a friendly little snowmonster that hugs kids and keep them entertained while you are on holiday in the snowy parts. It does not interact much with adults though, just kids. I love the little dance it does as well hehehe

    Well I need to find another photo hosting site if I want to keep on posting pics, as I nearly reached my 10gb for this month on photobucket, any suggestions ?

    I have tried everything now and can't seem to carry a giant vegetable or push it in a cart, so if anybody knows how to do that, please let me know, even google is coming up empty handed :?

    Ok so back to our vacation, I placed some foot bowls and furnished a room in the beach hotel to cater for Hunter so she can stay a bit longer this time, I better change all the lots one day to accompany pets :mrgreen:

    mcrudd: I hope you're having as much fun playing Sims 1 as I am looking at the screenshots. You're doing a lot of work! :-)

    Henwen: I just wanted to post a couple of Sims 3 shots showing how I strung lights between lamp posts, columns, etc. It doesn't look exactly like the posts in Sims 1, but has the same type of effect. If you use the "moveobjects on" cheat, you can get the lights right next to the posts. Just be sure to turn the cheat off after you're done. You can also adjust the heights by holding down the ctrl key.

    Here's a pic of lights I put up awhile back in the Moonlight Falls park. These are the Bohemian lights.:

    And here's just an example of some other wall lights I have in shorter lengths:

    I skimmed through this page so fast that I missed this!
    I do have the Bohemian lights and did string them as best I could between some lamp posts but didn't know that I could adjust the height! Thanks!
    Also, those lights in your second shots - are those from UL?

    Oh, and mcrudd - I used to love that beach lot. Loved the carnival games and have missed those as well.
    How do you keep your TS1 Sims energy up?
    I had such a hard time with that. I used a lot of mods for TS1 and a lot were from Simlogical. I bet the other sites are long gone.
    I had one of the TS1 shower objects from somewhere that was black and when the Sim took a shower their needs were maxed. I used that shower all the time.

    Lanlyn that looks super, wow I never thought of doing that, I do use moo a lot with building, I prefer to use the cheat and once I placed the object immidiately follow it with the off cheat. I will most certainly do that when I play sims 3 again. I can now play it without a cd since my making magic cd is in my cdrom.

    Henwen that is my favourite one, I love it too, I always wished that my sim could swim in the ocean part of it, but they never did :( To keep energy up while away from the house I have them napping everywhere LOL to keep it up at home is easy ... I use move_objects on and delete the sim, then click on their face and they re apear all moods in green :D I have my cc on a disk, but I did not put it in, I used to love simlogical, I have the minicity thingy and the cows, chickens and crocs I think it was hehehe. Such fun :)

    So now I am stuck with my superstardom, I need 2 celebrity friends, making friends in sims 1 is so difficult, so I thought we should look into magic again and get a potion or charm or something to force friendship, so at this moment I am googling making magic recipes, found a nice site, and I copied and pasted it into word document. Will read through that and then load my game to magic up some celebrity friends :D

    So this was my game play with superstar, but I had to stop now so I can do a bit of magic on relationships, while I was loading my game I remembered something interesting that a person could do with a cheat in the unleashed neighbour hood screen and I did it, can you guys look at that pic and guess what I did LOL ???

    Oh well that was an experience :shock: Clarissa burned to a crisp (don't worry I did not save) she was enchanting the gnomes, I just love them when they are alive when one caught on fire and then the ones next to it and she was caught, I told her to move but she did not :( Atleast I exited without saving so she is ok now :mrgreen:

    Hi Kate! The whole Sims series is incredibly fun, regardless of their limitations and/or graphics quality. I would heartily recommend getting and playing Sims 1 and Sims 2 if you can. :)

    @mcrudd: That's okay about the vegetables. Thanks for trying. Hmmm, I will see what I can find out about those. :mrgreen:

    Well I couldn't resist any longer - I reinstalled my complete Sims1 set! :D I played all last night. I started with the Newbie Household Tutorial and boy, is it awkward to get used to working the controls. I kept wanting to swoop my mouse around with the 360-degree camera angles, and zoom in and out with my mouse wheel. :lol: Ha! No such luck! But I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it again. Sure feels weird, though. But I love this game!

    I checked my computer's performance---normally when I'm playing Sims 3 with all EPs and Store stuff, it uses about 75-80% of my computer's memory. However, with all Sims 1 EPs installed, only 30% of memory is being used! :P

    If you don't mind, here are a few pics I took playing the Newbies. I was playing around with in-game picture sizes, so please disregard any pic differences:

    After completing the tutorial, I did a simple remodel of their house to try out the build tools. (Yes, I used the rosebud cheat!) :mrgreen: Essentially, I made the whole front room (which used to be their kitchen) into a living room. I turned their back patio into a new kitchen, and upgraded some appliances and furniture.
    Newbie_1_0000_zpseb379b48.jpg

    Newbie_1_0001_zps9a4f4d2a.jpg

    Of course, the Goths were the first to visit. Neither Bob nor Betty got along with Mortimer or Bella very much. :P I learned that Bob and Betty start off without any interests; therefore, they don't like anything that's talked about. A game tip popped up saying that when you take Sims Downtown, it can add to/change their interests! I never knew that! But sure enough, once they went Downtown, they got a whole bunch of random interest points added.
    Newbie_1_0002_zpsc3796720.jpg

    Here Bob and Betty enjoy eating eclairs at a coffeehouse in Old Town.
    Newbie_1_0003_zpsc9519f64.jpg

    When they got home, Betty was exhausted and in a bad mood so she went right to bed. Bob slept on the couch because he and Betty don't have high enough relation points yet to sleep in the same bed. Then the Tragic Clown arrived! :shock:
    Newbie_1_0004_zps45324a44.jpg

    He kept going into the bedroom to wake Betty up by doing bird tricks and juggling. He just kept crying and crying and making a nuisance! Poor Betty needed sleep and kept asking him to leave, but he wouldn't. Then I noticed...there was a picture of the Tragic Clown on the wall! I deleted it and he finally left. Whew! :P
    Newbie_1_0005_zpse4f4a4a5.jpg

    All I can say is, it has been so FUN playing Sims1 again! This game is packed full of stuff to see and do. It's just amazing...even now, the same as it was back then 14 years ago. 8)

    Eta: I wanted to add that in the picture above with Mortimer and Bella Goth---on the wall above the kitchen counter you can see a cuckoo clock. It actually works! It makes tick-tock sounds, the pendulum swings, and the little cuckoo bird comes out at each hour to call the time! Adorable! :D

    Also...it looks like you get better quality pics if you use "printscreen" like you did mcrudd, instead of using the in-game camera.

Love what you did with the house it looks great :) I will load my game and test the cheat method quickly, I can't find that link since I did not save it.

    brrr winter has truly arrived, I will have to put the heatpump on lol

    Ok so I tested the cheat and here is how it works.
    You type rosebud then make a space and then type !;!; and another space, the last space is very important, then you hold down your enter button on your keyboard and wolla lots of money until you let go of it :mrgreen:

    http://forums.thesimsresource.com/index.php?/topic/195206-playing-sims-in-windowed-mode/ I play in windowed mode too, so I can use the snipping tool to do the screen capturing instead of having to hit the print screen button and going into paint to get the screen :)
