@ciane Changing the weather works pretty well (like if you wanted to take a picture with snow or get rid of the rain), but to get your lot to change to Winter activities, you'd have to change the season. For me, that's not been so smooth. For instance, the trees get out of sync with the season for a while sometimes. Also, if you change the temperature in a save, it then gets stuck at that temperature. Would suggest you make a separate save and change it to Winter, and then if you don't have snow for pictures, change the weather to snow. Just discard that save when you've finished and go back to your Summer one.
@jessabeans - I hope all is well at your place with your family and you. I've looked at my Venice community lot and looked at Doge's Palace and I love the look. Think that would be okay?
I've also found a couple Venice lots to recreate. One is Fondamenta and the other Liberty Villa - both homes listed for sale under Sotherbys.
I uploaded the Anchor and the London Row of flats. If you want, the same building could replace the other one across the square by swapping out the hidden markers and making the basement apartment playable.
It's not @ciane it is under a season's tab then a tab called change season I tried it yesterday to make sure that it still works and it did and I don't have any mods installed right now
@ciane I've also been looking at Sotheby's listings in Venice! All so beautiful! It's just heartbreaking what's going on there right now. Just last month I was watching all of the festivities of carnival.
@ciane , with The Anchor you've created an absolutely awesome build, love the red accents !!!
The interior of London Row looks fabulous too!!! Starting my game right now to take a closer look
By the way I've had the blue launcher screen for the last 3 days and until I can find a way to resolve the issue my finished Venetian build will be stuck in the export folder I'm afraid
Oops there is always something: the Morris Curtains don't seem to be on any of the control lists except the wide version. They are from the Regal Set and I can't remember if we are using that or not. Hope it's okay to leave the upload as it is.
@soocoolsim should I convert my lots to not contain store content Sense my store content show's up as cc and if so what can I use instead of the massage table for my spa ?
Your lot looks great @Hidehi! I love builds with lots of ins and outs and ups and downs and different textures and colors!
I did a quick 20x20 fall festival lot in the Alps using the world editor and placing a lot here on a relatively flat area near the junction of two roads:
I did leave out the spooky shack, but I got the rest of the fall fun stuff in and the park has the covered bathrooms, grill, picnic table, spring rider, and sandbox.
Ciane, you are a speed demon with all the lots you've been doing, lol. Love that Anchor Bar, fantastic re-creation of it and nice job on decorating the London row flat.
Hidehi, your apartment for Venice looks awesome - love the wall covering you chose for the exterior and how you've done the architecture with all the different window types and various heights and I especially love those little balconies you made.

Another great appartamento for the world. The different heights and textures all such visual interest. Well done @Hidehi . Link added to page 1 🌟

Yes please @seaben . Unfortunately we will not be able to add your lots to the world if they include store content converted to CC. You could perhaps add the spa rabbithole in the basement and/or MOO objects together so it looks like a massage table.

@KarilynMonroe2 and @ciane ... you both were considering creating Doge’s palace. Have either of you decided? If so I will flag it as taken off the list of potential community lots on page 1.

Your lot is very cute @ciane . I don’t think it’s been yet decided on the fall festival lot.

It's not cc though it's store content but I guess I can't use store content in my builds for the Orient express @ciane I'm wondering did you ever get the weather cheat to work
@KarilynMonroe2 and @ciane ... you both were considering creating Doge’s palace. Have either of you decided? If so I will flag it as taken off the list of potential community lots on page 1.
I thought I posted on this last night, but it didn't stick. @KarilynMonroe2 did mention it first, I just was too lazy to go back through the thread and double check. I'm sure she'll do a much better job than me, so I'll come up with some thing different.
I decided to make my seasons shorter, so three days each. That's why I made a fall festival lot in the Alps, so I could check that out and see how it worked. I'll make my Venice lots and the other Parisian one next. Then, hopefully, it'll be winter and I can return to the square for the festival play there. The lots have the seasonal marker, but I don't tag the park as a festival lot as I don't want it to be festival there all the time.
I'm just wondering @ciane does your shift key work I'm wondering because I know you had problems making npc apartment doors and you could not cheat to change the weather
Another thing @soocoolsim I'm going to make my 30x30 lot today and I'm wondering if there is anything that I should not build so far I'm thinking about making a vampire lounge or one of the other late night venues
It's not cc though it's store content but I guess I can't use store content in my builds for the Orient express @ciane I'm wondering did you ever get the weather cheat to work
All packages files are considered cc. If I downloaded your lot with the packaged store content, I'd get packaged files of the store content I already have in .ebc form. That's bloat that a lot of simmers can't afford to have in an already overwhelmed system.
I understand not wanting to do a reinstall of stuff you already have in your game, so yes, you have to avoid using any store content in the builds you share for this project unless you just want to install the sims3pack through the launcher for just what you really want in the build.

I didn't get the option to change to winter by shift clicking on the ground. I think that must be a master controller thing.
