Thank you Rosemow :) I've lost my mother since then and that visit to Graceland is one of my fondest memories. We listened to Elvis's music during the 4 hour drive each way, and she had the time of her life!
Graceland (Home of Elvis Presley) I actually visited Graceland with my mother about 10 years ago. I had always thought it was a huge mansion, but I was surprised at how small it was. It's really not much bigger than your average two-story home, but it was a fun day that I'll never forget.
Hahaha, no warts here! lol Thanks, I'll definitely check the roof and slap a platform on it for good measure. I'll let you know if that fixes it. And I couldn't agree more about the white ceilings. edit to add: I haven't removed the columns to see if that makes a difference, but I'll check that too. Yes, I use MOO. I have…
I get such inspiration from this thread. Great job everybody! About 7 months ago, I posted the first pic below. It was my first completed build. (The Mon Amour House) I just rebuilt it a couple of days ago with some new skills and CC. I hope you think it's an improvement. lol The New Mon Amour House...
Lol, I didn't know what an entablature was until a few weeks ago myself. Yeah, the base game trim pieces can be used as entablatures too... and they even have fitting corner pieces as well. Only problem is they're so thin it looks weird looking up under the porch pediment. My entablatures are CC and are about the thickness…
Hi, and thank you. Thats very insightful. I knew I couldn't place a big lot on a smaller one directly from the gallery, but now I see that you can do that from your library if you're willing to lose some stuff along the edges. The one I was trying to do was my own build from my library, so there was no problem... but I…
Hi, and thanks. I just did it and it works great! There's no need to delete your landscaping and such because it automatically cuts off anything that sticks out of the lot. I just had to position the house itself and then redo the landscaping. This is great to know. FYI... the reason for this is because my bigger lot has…
Thank you both very much. I did disable the seasons pack but the clock cheat still didn't work, so I enabled it again. But that's quite alright because I found a workaround. I've been building for about 6 months and finally downloaded the Better Buy/Build mod and T.O.O.L. mod yesterday... and I'm loving them! With those 2…
I'm sure you guys didn't see this coming lol, but Robert and Elle won the lottery! The biggest lottery in history... 1.2 billion! That's one billion, two hundred million dollars! They've already bought a new home and you'll see it soon. Today is moving day!
Thank you. Yes, I was aware I'd lose the season's buy/build objects. I was just worried it would cause bugs and glitches in the buy/build mode. I went ahead and disabled seasons yesterday and the clock advance cheat still wouldn't work. I'm having major regrets for buying seasons to begin with :(
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have the rain and snow turned off. My issue is that you can't use the advance clock cheat while seasons is activated. I'd like to use the clock cheat because I use a lot of sim poses for screenshots and need to better control the time of day. So to all of you who regularly disable your…
Hi again. I've been watching youtube videos about disabling packs because I'd like to disable my seasons pack. I tried to do it today using James Turner's website to disable it. It actually worked but I got a popup warning when I restarted the game, saying the seasons pack was required and if I wanted to play with seasons…
Hi guys. Can someone tell me what's up with all the little green rugs I find in the homes I download from the gallery? It probably has something to do with CC, and if so, is there a way to prevent the rugs? I have to delete them and it's a real pain. Thanks.
As it turns out, Robert's late grandfather was heavily in debt due to his failed winery, and it has now put Robert and Elle in a financial crisis. But they have an idea!
Hi guys. I'm using this pic to test the size for the forums. This is the rebuild of that old, white, southern mansion. I bricked it this time and added a garage. I hope this works!
Thank you mightysprite. I'm still relatively new at the Sims and I only had 4 completed builds, but lord knows how many hours were invested in them. It's fine though, what's done is done. My biggest problem now is that I've forgotten how to do everything! You'll probably see me in several threads this week, asking the most…
Hi everybody. I'm sorry for ghosting the thread but I had a huge problem. I think karma came back to bite me after my last post. :) I had a computer problem that I thought would be best solved by restoring my comp to factory settings. I knew I would lose all my CC but I was advised that all my builds would be safely stored…
Robert's Grandfather, Pierre Mon Amour recently passed away and left Robert a beautiful chateau in the south of France. Robert and Elle are renovating it right now to use as a summer home. * Yesterday, I hit the cc motherload in French architecture! The next time you see this house, it's going to look a lot different.
My Sims family have aged about ten years since I've been away. Jack is now 13 and Robert and Elle are showing signs of aging too. After the fire, Robert and Elle bought a house bigger and better than before. It's a 175-year-old mansion that's also a working farm. It has cows and chickens and all kinds of critters running…
Thank you BreeMiles. That's a big compliment coming from you. I visited your site, and you have some amazing builds! Cavapoo_King ... I'm not sure what pack the columns came from. I have quit a few packs and use a lot of CC, but I only found these columns in my inventory last week. I think they're just decorative columns…
I love looking at all your beautiful builds!!! I finally finished the mansion, complete with a matching barn on the lot next door. And now to tackle the interior.
Thank you ClassClownTina. You flatter me, but that's okay ;) And thank you as well MrPlumbob. I'm starting to have buyer's remorse over the seasons pack :(
Hi. I have two questions please. 1. Can I change the season just for the sake of screencaps, even temporarily? When I first bought "seasons" I remember choosing which season I wanted to play in, but since that time, I can't find an option to change it again. 2. While taking another screencap yesterday, this thin little…
