Mickey, I think the SP was worth it, just for the corner tub and aquarium and electric guitar! the aquarium holds up to 6 fish, as compared to only 1 with the fishbowl.
Smoky, another beautiful country home! I like the light colors, feels so fresh and airy. Looks like spring!
I know its not really building related but y'all might find these useful.... I got bored and made some paintings with TSR workshop...which I am now sharing with you. Currently 4shared is the only place you can get them but they should be up on TSR in the next day or so.
Jaded- the First and Third paintings remind me of the book The Last Siege LOL
LOL...sorry dopn't know it... those are pictures taken by my siter in germany ...she sends me loads of castle and architecture pics which I have blown up and made into prints for my walls in real life...I thought the Sims might like them too.

The Last Siege is quite a good book.
I'm so jealous of your sister!
Want to send me some of those Blown Up Pictures? XD
I see no one is posting again. I know some are not happy with EA, and staying off the site entirely. Some are prolly having issues. I still like to post my pics, if I can, cuz I know it brightens DS day at work to keep up with what we are doing.
It took me a few minutes to get to the reply window, and I don't know if this will go through, or not, but here goes...
As some of you may know, I build my own computers, and they are all state of the art. Despite this, it is taking a long time to get on here, and posting is very "Iffy". I am not having this kind of lag anywhere else on the internet, just here, for some reason that escapes me.
I just checked the "Lots by Downloads" pages, and they still are not updating. One lot by Amoebius says it only has 1 DL, and his page says the lot has 72 DLs. He usually gets several hundred DLs for any of his lots. This speaks volumes about the poor DL numbers that are being gained due to the current faulty workings of this website.
I have decided not to upload any lots, until I see this condition change for the better, and get fixed. My last three lots performed poorly due to the state of the Exchange not updating the DLs.
With whatever precious time I have, I have been working on completing my collections, and building lots for the time that this situation is corrected.
Some Kudos & Recognition on the current few pages...
Julia & Smokey- Your latest builds are almost beyond words! They are extraordinary!
Molley & Mickey- I am very impressed by your WIPs. They are showing great promise, and inventiveness on your parts.
Jaded- I love your starter homes project. They are very well done. I do not use any CC in my game, but would like to thank you for your contributions of all the great CC you have been providing, both created, and the leads you provide. You have have made many of those who do use CC very happy with your kind efforts.
Mickey- You are a great storyteller.
Welcome Kitty! Would like to speak to you over on the Berry Sweet Town Project thread, or PM via TSS.
That's all I have time for now. I do lurk, when I have the chance.
I will have some great things to share, when I see this site running like it should.
Hey everyone, I justed wanted to stop in to see how's everyone doing. I've had a very busy week.
Mickey: Palmwood Plaza Luxury Condos looks great. It really looks like a luxury condo complex. Very nice chapter, also you have a gift for metaphors.
Julia: Robert Langdon: dl'd and rec'd. I like the gazebo in your new wip. The garden also looks fantastic. You really did a good job with the landscaping.
smokey: English Country House loks great. As always you did an excellent job on the landscaping and interior. I really like the greenery you added to the windows.
Molly: I like what you did with the bathtubs that looks so cool. If you don't mind I would like to use that one day in the future. Also the office and the kitchen looks pretty cool too.
Jaded: Wonderful starters, I've rec'd and dl'd most of them. Hopefully one day I'll get around to play them. I also like the pictures you made. I'm really grateful for all the contributions you've made.
Alpha: I'm glad to hear that you have not gave up on your victorian. It's coming along very nicely and that you are happy with the results. My goodness, you change avi's like a pair of shoes.
Well, I have been up to quite few things lately... I have some BIG news... Read on...
Today I am glad to tell you that Me, Racncone, and Jadedcat1983 will be joint judges and presenters in the first annual S.I.M. Awards! (Sims In Mastery) This set of awards is built towards the breakout stars, so the masters, (you know who you are ) do not continually win. And the categories are Best New:
Builder- This award goes to the best new builder out there.
Machinima Maker- This award goes to the best new machinima maker.
Thread(Award to thread creator)
Writer- This award goes to the best breakout writer.
and the most prestigous honor... The S.I.M. Achievement Award- This award goes to the simmers who have greatly contributed to the community, and will be honored as such.
Racncone, Jaded, and I will discuss who wins what in what category. All our discussions will take place in a private chat on TSS and no one else will be able to enter so do not try. As judges we are all un-able to win anything. Please do not post who should win, or anything like that. This is just a heads-up to let you know what is coming. I will post information here, at Micky's Marks and The Simmers Society.
sorry,i havent been able to post in a couple of days..but i have been able to read and also been keeping up at the new TSS.
Smoky...i love Greystone..noticed on front porch,you missed repainting a section of foundation.I like your kitchen colors,but the cabinets do seem bright.Everything else looks good,so i have no advice to give.
Micky..typically i would suggest adding vegetation to your hills,but since its an egyptian home,i dont know how it should be landscaped.Your interior looks good though..Love the setup of your community garden.Gave it a rec.Gave both lots recs.
Pinkkitty..soooo glad to see you..i have been wondering what happened to you.i dont think i have seen anything from you since christmas time.Hope the Bad weather isnt getting to you also.If you havent noticed yet,we do have a NEW TSS,hope you follow links and join us.
Julia..Love the clutter,colors and it even looks like you have your driveway a little more sloped now.I really like the overall look..good thing is,if anyone doesnt like the steep slopes,they can always put it on a larger lot and smooth out the cliffs.
Molley...Your house does look a little overly spacious..but i do like your inventive way of doing your tubs and the office.Your kitchen spacing looks reasonable.If you felt like it,you may even try CASing your cabinets to something other than the default colors and textures,thats optional though.
Jade..love the new pics..very cool.
Julia..i still like your colors and clutter..well that was til i got to the kitchen..lol..those colors dont work well for me,but thats just personal taste.I like the layout though.P.S. your right,i do like reading this forum while at work,but i do understand why everyone is avoiding posting here..Thankfully i can get my phone logged into the new TSS,so i still have stuff to read at work.
XO..i'm with you..i know my problems have nothing to do with my PC..it is the EA site..sorry we all have to go through all this.it really puts a crimp in all of us sharing and helping here..Thankfully we do have our offsite Sites for back up though.
Alpha...I am so glad you changed your exterior color..with windows and this color.it is looking so much better in my opinion.
Julia..i like your office..with that monitor,i almost feel like your in my room with my pc..*looking around to make sure your not here*..lol
Pinklady..thank you for stopping in..with the forum issues keeping everyone from posting..it is so nice to see when someone can post.
Micky..i like the idea of your SIM awards..not sure if i qualify or not,since you may be copnsidering me one of those so called masters..it would be cool if i was considered,cuz i cant pick my own build for the top picks anyway at TSS..or at least i dont cuz i dont feel it would be fair.
well hopefully this post goes thru,and i will post more when i can,otherwise look for me at TSS.
LOL, its okay if you don't like my kitchen DS, I won't let anyone else in to cook, anyways! And the office is actually for my hubby, he really wants his own office. As well as the media room and game/party room, lol! The rest is MINE! Well, I'll let him use the home gym I guess.
Hey DS. I know, its been sooo long. Its been really hectic here. I did notice the new TSS. I checked it out real quick yesterday. Still don't have as much time as I used to, but I will definitely try to check in as much as possible.

From what I have seen, everyone is doing such a great job.
Smoky, another beautiful country home! I like the light colors, feels so fresh and airy. Looks like spring!
