  • @Tremayne4260: As hinted above, the house will not be finished this weekend. However, if you'd like I could do a 'Phase 2' type upload tomorrow. That should be (much) more usable than the previous one, though quite a bit more expensive as well. Let me know if you're interested. I'll place some more pictures here later to…
  • BluebellFlora made Newton Park especially for iWorld. You should download both the world and the park from her earlier post, install them as usual via the Launcher and place the park on the 'leaf' of the apple in 'Edit Town'. It looks just as nice as the world itself. Have a look at her pictures in this thread to see a…
  • Two more pictures to show how beautiful iWorld is. Kitty playing the piano at the stage in Central Park: And looking out from Ashpeef's Lot over the beach and the ocean at sunset. A 'Beautiful Vista' indeed! Having Mauw hunting the whole day by now brings in a let's say 'decent' amount of §§§'s. No more Plasma Bugs but…
  • Silly Puck, how appropriate!
  • @Tremayne4260 - Sorry, but there's no new upload yet, just the original unfinished one you already have. These were only pictures, made in game while 'renovating' the place. All the family was doing up 'till now is making money (Mauw caught a second Plasma Bug!) for me to spent it all on their home, try out everything I…
  • The bathroom downstairs is done. For now I'm done too. :s From the entrance to the tub: And from the tub to the entrance: Yeah, I know — she's nuts about cats. So a picture, a towel and a calendar. ;) BTW: There's a similar towel draped over the armrest of the big couch in the living…
  • Kitchen troubles. :p First the kitchen as in the early upload (nasty weather outside): Or looking from the kitchen towards the stairs and the living: Next I made a few final touches to the kitchen proper and swapped the table and chairs. Of course (Murphy) I choose a chair, Mid-Century Modern Dining Chair, from the Store…
  • The Bedroom, though not finished yet, is taking form as well. It's done with a double bed but as a singles room by placing the bed along the wall. If you want to use it as a double, turn it 90º so the headboard is against the stairwell-wall. That way there's space for a second end table and you could still pass around the…
  • OK, two quick pictures: A sunny day in Central Park on iWorld: And Kitty madly banging away on her freshly bought appliances. Or: Upgrading the sink in the upstairs bathroom on Ashpeef's Lot: I had to redo this bathroom slightly because Kitty, being Neat, kept running down the stairs in search of a place to wash her hands…
  • @Tremayne4260 : I uploaded the lot-as-is for now. Tested loading it in a clean base game install. That worked all right, though the substitutions the game made for non-base-game and store items kind of wrecked havoc with the looks of it all. When the house is finished I will re-upload; if there are items replaced with your…
  • Not yet, because for now it's quite unfinished. But if you're interested in the house in its current state I could try to upload. That would take some time though, as I'm currently not at the machine my game's on.
  • I did want to and actually did buy the house, though I couldn't afford furnishing it properly. For now there's only a minimal but functional kitchen and a bathroom. That one is the only space that got walled so far. The rest, both at ground level and upstairs, is just a single open space with no furniture whatsoever. Most…
  • Started to build a house for the Kattecop family. For now it's just an empty shell, but I'm already running out of funds. So she'll have to cope with squatting at the Fire Station (Thanks for the tip, Bluebell!) and earning enough to finish the interior, not to mention the landscaping. After all, we couldn't have her…
  • I really wish that were true. However, the reality is that the program Sims3 itself throttles down the more powerful systems. This in part because the program is 32 bit written, so for instance it can't use all available memory. By the way, that's also the case with Sims 4! So where on very old or underpowered systems the…
  • Go for a re-upload; that way the others could DL her too. A caveat about 'me': Kitty Kattecop might be associated with Ashpeef (I certainly do) but I never made a real self-sim. For one, there's no functional wheelchair in the Sims, and even then EA is way too fond of stairs, steps and platforms for those to be of any use.…
  • Thanks, good to know. But EA deleting your Sim? That, ehr, 'plums'. Do you still have your own back up of her? I would be interested for use in iWorld!
  • Uploaded to the exchange so it should be at the 'My Studio' page. I can reach it by: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8647296 Hope that helps/works? Asking and doubting, because I just now tried to use a similar-looking link in a previous post from Caspinwall (this thread, third page) which only brought me…
  • Just down loaded your world and park. It works and looks great! Placing Newton Park went smoothly; it's bound to be one of the top priority places to go. Great fun to see all these Apple and Sims Forums names used too. Though I didn't expect you'd reserve a lot for me as well. So now I feel honour bound to upload a Sim for…
  • If it's just about (disk)space, BluebellFlora's tip is a perfect check. Your problem with the Now and Then Manor is another matter all together and probably not connected to that set specifically, but to the total amount of Store Content (or other CC) you've loaded into the game. You can (safely) download as much content…
  • Besides, even if you have a double download, the game will only install things one time. In the installer, any already installed DL will be marked as installed and 'greyed out'. ETA: This is true as well for single items that are included in for instance a previously installed set. As for different sets that contain some…
  • Quite possibly so. The proprietors I was referring to always bork out/get stuck when standing near to the stage they are supposed to manage. Luckily the NRaas suite is good at catching them, so up to now I've never had them crashing my game. The only time I got an Error 12 in Aspen Islands was after having the game open…
  • Until recently, I never used any mod and for quite some years I abstained from using any CC (apart from the EA-Store items). However, I finally bit the bullet and installed a BootCamp partition and migrated everything-Sim to DOS. That worked so well, I started to experiment. Now I use a lot of NRaas mods and (maybe…
  • For a temporary elevator fix: write down the names of all Sims involved, hit [Cntrl] [Shift] and [C] as one and type "resetsim [Firstname] [Lastname]" (without the quotes and replacing [...name] with one of those you just jotted down). This would look like e.g. [Ctrl][Shft][C] resetsim John Brown [enter] [Ctrl][Shft][C]…
  • Also: don't try to download everything at once, especially with big files (like Worlds). Origin seems to choke when you feed him too much threads at a time. Actually, quite often more than one is too much already ;) Maybe it is a good idea to save all your DL's from the store somewhere save on your (own) computer, outside…
  • That's looking nice! Does the restaurant co-function as an arcade hall? Then you could place the "Darwin's Revenge" arcade machine in its 'proper' place. Maybe not logical if the restaurant is a formal attire place, but otherwise...
  • Great idea. Now if only someone would be able to create an actual statue for the Dogcow, or even just a mural type picture (either like a graffiti mural, or simply as a plain wall texture). One more reason for me to be sorry never to have learned making anything for use in the Sims myself. :(
  • Good thinking on NeXT leading to the OS X Community. And yes, the gym should be a good one for Boot Camp. (A nice alternative might have been Quick Time.) Considering the Library and Art Studio, Clarus the Dogcow should obviously find a place in one of those two, probably the latter. And maybe she can lend (part of) her…
  • Then that NeXT Drive should prove to be a dead end, don't you think? And how about Boot Camp, either as a (very) small secondary park or as the name for the Military rabbit hole? BTW, I played the pun on a Jobs Centre as I guessed the Town Hall would pack a lot of job opportunities in such a small world. And, yes,…
  • I was sure you'd find a way to incorporate all, or at least most, of the OS'es in the world, so I didn't suggest any of those even though I was thinking along exactly the same lines. Now the Lisa Laundromat I didn't envision myself, but that is really a brilliant find! You definitely should add that one.
  • Ahhh! Apples, Peaches and Cherries. That sounds like quite a nostalgic trip back in time in Computer Land. Also, you do realise the Town Hall is right at the Core, don't you? Next to the Kernel, I'd say. :D ETA: And than my Sim might need to find work, so she will go to the Jobs Centre to apply for one ;) . Afterwards she…
