Jasonmazda2: I don't know about making vids, but I liked it.
Nam: Thanks
lil: These were hard to choose from, they were all nice pics, I'm going to go with No. 1
Merry Thanks a lot, I enjoyed making the palette, soon I'll try other as I'm building. I think I'm finished with assignment 2 Here's the link for them. http://tinypic.com/a/1jc7s/3
Berg and sherry..thank you for the translation..it makes no sense..but i assume it has something to do with whatever the site is about.
Sherry..Sorry dear..we had to put the horse down..BUT we are having a cookout for Merrys bday..Cant tell you what kind of meat is being served though..its a specialty.I know this joke may be in bad taste..so i say i sorry in advance.
rinirae..The coverpic program was created by a trusted Simmer in the community..and everyone who has downloaded and used it has never had a problem stemming from the program..usually any issues is due to simmers not understanding its use.But once you get the hang of it..you can change coverpic in a matter of minutes.

S'alright, I have a friend from Chile, and they say the meat is very tender and low in fat. When they first started serving it in that country, they substituted it for beef and didn't tell anyone because it was cheaper. :-o (*GASP*) Now it costs more, lol.
I'm coming to the cookout, which lot is it on? (I may just eat vegetarian that day)
Here is a bit of info to update you on the progress or lack of it on the City Builds and Challenges:
Lots Done = 17
Lots Taken = 20
Left = 120
Victorian Townie House Challenge:
3 Entries (Only)
Old Vic Hotel Challenge:
2 Entries (Only)
Victorian Sim Townie Challenge:
2 Entries (Only)
Please folks, this took us days to set up so that at least our 101 supporters can have some fun. (Request to the groupies and their leader ) Please join in?
Don't be intimidated by the Rules and Regulations!
They look far worse than they really are and was put in place so that our City doesn't look like a 1000 M&M's in a small box. (In South Africa we get Smarties not M & M's.) We have a saying here if you are confused: I'm confused like a Chameleon on a Smartie Box! )
Berg..maybe when Jaded sees these post..it is possible she may have a 4shared link also..so hopefully if she does,maybe she will supply it for you...
Magic..I do have a home i am working on for the world..As far as the challenges..well the Victorian house sounded pretty specific to me..not sure if i could get that one right...So that may be why you havent gotten many entrants.If you dont get may entrants to do the complete home..maybe you guys could build a shell and offer for it to be decorated and landscaped..just an idea..not sure if its a good one though.I really havent looked at specs on the motel though..and as far as Sims go..hmmm,i'm not the best Sim maker.i know there have been some members researching the Era.
The first thing I always check is the alarms. There is a burglar alarm, and there is a fire alarm for the stove, but there isn't a fire alarm for the fireplace. My Sim had the Nicely to Beautifully decorated moodlet the entire time; even outdoors. That was a nice touch with the bubble bath and rubber ducky already there. I love the interiors, very tastefully decorated.
You have a well lit exterior. Nice produce garden, however, not lit for early morning or late night gardening. I love the pergola made of windows, doors and columns with a heather roof. I like the way you sculpted the terrain. And I like the garbage can placement. You have an artistic eye for terrain paints.
Overall a very nice build. I recommend this build.
is anyone else having troubles installing some of these houses for the new world? launcher is telling me theyre installed but they don't show up in game and arent shaded like most things that are properly installed
I'm having that problem with a lot of non ea stuff
Thanks LIL and Merry for the feedback - I noticed those plants coming through the wall after I was ready to be done with that house, so no fixing. Also, I purposefully left the back of the fireplace exposed. But I agree it would have been nice to put a wall up. I just didn't want it cutting into that room since the game won't let you run a wall directly next to the FP.
Merry, I downloaded Zinda's tool, but have not used it yet. I've been researching for a couple of days now to learn all this, but still have some questions.
So would the process for designing good cover pics go something like this:
- take screenshot
- edit/add text in Picasa/other photo software
- save file to computer as .png 512x512
- run Zinda's program to replace the initial pic
- upload LOT to exchange
Is that it? Did I miss a step? I'm a visual learner so I'm just trying to get this process in my head before I take on the next build. Also I just learned that Picasa does everything in jpg format and doesn't convert files to .png. UGH... To many steps... :shock:
Well, we'll figure it out soon enough
Oh yeah, and the avatar is almost perfect (as close to a picture of myself I could get), but I forgot to change the eye color to blue.... Oh well. I still like it.
That is basically the process Smile. There is a program mentioned on page 1 in the 2nd post called Irfanview. This is a free program and you can use it to create .png format pictures. There is also a link to a tutorial by XOX1 on how to do it.
ok, finished the WIP, any last minute comments are appreciated! I fixed the curtains, Merry. Here is the bungalow guest house:
Living and kitchen area:
Hi Julia, the kitchen counters would look a little more realistic if they didn't have the gaps on the outside edge. You just have to be patient and use the alt key while shifting them into place.
well my friends..i noticed an increase in friend request in last 2 days..well it turns out my build named Shinobu got featured...i'm surprised EA featured a home with TSR CC..lol..
*EDIT*...On the subject of groupies...sometimes i have been known to google my screenname just to see what comes up..recently i happened across this link..I have no clue what language its in..But i know it has something to do with Shinobu.. http://finds.sims2cri.com/en/finds-archive3/december/4240-finds-of-131209.html
Hi darkside, congratulations on being featured again. That site you found is in Italian. I guess they like your work.
One question:
My story description includes the link to my house. But the reverse is not true. Should I reload my house with my story link included?
What happened, was the launcher wouldn't upload the house three times. Later I just tried it for fun and it uploaded it. I have been afraid to do anything until I talked with you.
Also, I think the exchange is saying that WA items are in the house. Please verifu that that is in deed what they mean. If so, I will have to find my goof as I thought I was very careful to avoid that situation.

Decided to name the lot Swanky Singles Pad. It reminds me of the living room wallpaper
I was going to attempt a story, but as it turned out the launcher uploaded some of my pictures once, some twice and a couple three times! I took a deep breath and decided that I won't worry about it for this build.
Something must be going on with the exchange. Just as happened to Buddy, it's saying I have store and WA items in my build. I know there are none, I was really careful to just use base game items.
edit-realized the store items were a free door and a free TV, still can't figure out the WA item(s).
