@SimLibby@sara4562@seaben ... Ladies, thank you. I bookmarked some of these contests, especially the building contests. I really like some of the stuff there.
@ernesat can you wait to gift me tell august 25 and watch the dd for the World of Wonder Carousel Collection im not completly sure i want that to be my pick but if i do chose that can you do that it will be 969 sim points instead of 1900 sim points so i could really stretch my winnings
I really enjoyed that. Thank you so much everyone. The pic with the Christmas tree was made of all the ornaments from a contest so-hosted by StephBE and RoundHeaded. I miss them both! And, I was so surprised to see that you found the link I referred to earlier about the Kat Sprat stories. It's so sad that all the pics are gone (but I may have actually been the one to delete them from photobucket). But it was a wonderful walk down memory lane and I enjoyed seeing posts from simmers that have moved on to other things and rarely, if ever, pop by here any more.
@seaben - Unfortunately no one can gift a Daily Deal at the deal price. Gifts are always full price. If you have items from a set that lets you complete your set, them you can be gifted more items in that set until you own enough of it to get the other items in the set for free. But, that's really the only way gifters can help cheaper. There was a time when items would go on sale in the store and we could gift that sale price. That was a lot of fun. You didn't know what would go on sale until it did and then you could gift as many as possible before the next item went on sale. It was fun 24 hours that happened just once a year - Black Friday maybe?

dam I thought you could oh well I will have to debate some more about how I want to spend my sim points
5. Here Ari talks about recoloring: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/15310622/#Comment_15310622
Upon investigating that thread, I found she did the recoloring in MODERN INFERNO, A DNA request for StutteredScreams. She recolored this mirror from the EP Worldadventures. The original color of this mirror is brown, with a yellow decoration in it.
I show it here because that gift I found before the buddies gift and I think the picture is adorable, I love the cat. I looked for a while for the original Exchange gifting thread but the search function doesn’t works that precise. Maybe the original thread was the same Exchange thread that Sara mentioned in her entry because the thread Sarah references stems from 2016 like the thread where the gift of the cat was posted but I didn't investigate this possibility. Because I couldn’t find the original thread, I decided to look a bit further and came upon a massive gifting to all the buddies.
So what happened? Did you guys drifted a part a bit or still have contact? From what I can see she is still active on the forum and a member for years.
I thought you where really quick and already gifted my nominee. Then I saw it was Seabens nominee you already gifted. I happened to pick the same nominee today, I hadn't seen she was already nominated before by Seaben. If you would like me to choose another nominee, I nominate hyrulerose: https://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=horseygirl66

Nothing happened. I left the forums. Life got in the way. I did not realize she was still on the forums.
As for your giftee, it is okay to nominate the same person.
@sara4565, @SimLibby, @seaben .... since we are the only ones in this hunt, I will change the rules and allow you to nominate each other but not more than twice per week.
5. I couldn't find any recolors. I bet there are a lot of recolors in his buildings and worlds but I could find any that I would be sure of that it has recolors.
5. According to this message, Coasterboi hasn’t been on this new forum ever since it opened (his page shows visits: 0 and last activity: 0) so I didn’t even try to find a recolor on this forum.
However, I looked in his studio. I think he’s a skilled world builder - I came across his name more often when I was learning about CAW and making Dutch tutorials about CAW for my website - and I’m pretty sure he did lots or recoloring in his worlds and probably even edited .INI files (in a way also recoloring) to change how the sunset looks, or the water, sky, moon, weather, things like that.
Anyway, with the world Los Aniegos (Paradise Edition) he uses a picture on the Exchange which shows a sun umbrella / parasol (low in the middle on the picture) which is recolored. That sun umbrella is from the base game and it’s original color is red and white. I hope this answer counts. I had already typed us this answer (in a document, that’s how I always start), before I saw that Sara references this world with number question number 6. https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7975351
6. I agree with Sara when she said he has gifted us with his beautiful worlds. I had typed up more or less the same before I knew Sara had said it as well. I’m going to go with Red Country as a gift.
7. Let’s make the threesome complete (awesome new rule @ErnesaT), I nominate Sara.
CONTESTANTS:
Sara4562 (SP Bank 1950)
SimLibby (SP Bank 459)
Seaben (SP Bank 2133)
Hi @ErnesaT,
I hope you don't mind me saying this (I noticed I find it a bit difficult to speak up about something like this), I think my total is not accurate. Before the scavenger hunt with Ari, I had 389 SP. How did you came to 459? Shouldn't it be 614 SP (389 + 150 because I got all the questions on Ari answered + 75 nomination)?
EDIT I at 10.15: I'm also not completely sure if you counted Sara's winnings on Ari in the total. With Seaben I cannot be sure (since my total did change with 70 SP to 459 SP and Seabens did also change with 150 SP to 2133 SP).
EDIT II at 10.50: Seabens total is probably accurate.
Another fan favorite. Any recolors would actually be in the worlds he built. Coasterboi had a really nice following as a world builder. I own this world as well. I love the sims in both worlds.
A lot of his sims look like and are named after famous people.
