My $.02 ... and I will probably ramble, sorry. I would be happy just having some influence over the the neighborhoods. I would love the ability for a fully custom configuration like we had in Sims 2. As much as I enjoyed Sims 3 and CAW, I always missed having separate sub-hoods, especially the ability to create your own…
There is quite a bit I have missed about Sims 2 for a while. The genetic traits, toddlers, being able to have muliple separate games at once, but mostly the ability to create my own worlds/neighboorhoods specific to games. I had a whole HP game way back when with the base neighborhood that was UK-ish shaped plus a…
I recently broke out some old dormant CAW files. I just got so tired of Sims 4's worlds and really wanted to be able to really build a world again, not remake one where so much of the style was already dictated. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. To bad I don't have some magical power that can combine my favorite aspects of…
I have to say that I miss toddlers and I always wished for more interactivity on the part of the toddler or even baby. I always imagined something more like what I experienced in RL -- babies learn to talk by listening to those around them in normal situations -- you don't have to sit down and actually teach them the…
Guess how I spent my weekend? :wink: :lol: And I have pictures! So, My accomplishments include: almost finishing the farm and Equestrian area Fixing the "finished" Forks NHood Fixing the Trillium North NHood (the modern-ish houses) I even added a lot in the Trillium North NHood in the hill -- stairs going down that will be…
Happy Tuesday All - I hope you all enjoyed your weekend (and hope it was a nice long 3 day weekend like mine.) I wanted to stop in and update you on the progress of PLF -- its getting there. My goal for the weekend was to finish off the terrain tweaking and painting so I could place all the spawners and trees placed, etc…
Yeah -- keeping my hands off of MH is pretty hard. I actually think I am going to uninstall it from the windows profile I use to building the PLF world so that the objects don't tempt me. Thank god MH is a world and not an EP! Then I would be in real trouble. Lucky for me, I bought the surfing thing from the store and that…
This post may seem a little odd and it is -- but there really isn't a better way to explain how my brain works its creative process, so...for those of you who haven't known me longer than I've played the Sims (and that dates back to Sims 1) -- I have a colony of "muses" and "plot bunnies" that live in my imagination and…
Hej All - Yes, I am still here. I have a folder full of notes and maps and plans for this world but it has been sitting a bit dormant as every time I start building I get frustrated. My goal was to keep it CC free and even Store content free if I could and it has been nearly impossible to get the buildings to feel right…
Back again -- I meant to post an update over the weekend but never quite did it. I started school again -- getting a second degree. I blame the sims for my renewed interest in programming, etc. A little background -- I exported the game and installed it for play testing and also because I finally got Seasons and Island…
Okay - so Flickr came back, so I can access the images I uploaded earlier this week and share them with you. I realized I didn't have any images of Forks aside from the main road through town -- so ... There are a few residential areas in Forks proper -- "older town," the not-yet-named, modernish sub-division I shared…
Morning All -- nope still haven't fallen off the end of the world -- I've been mucking around in PLF -- I moved things around in the port area again. It suddenly occurred to me having a vampire bar on the main drag was just wrong -- so I moved it. I also got the waterfront and criminal hideout set up. I also started…
Ack! ... I can't believe its been two weeks since I last logged in here. Work has been kicking me in the a-double-scribble and I haven't had much time during the week. I have been working on Port La Forks, though. I spent one weekend working on Hotel Du Mort (vampire club) - its almost finished. I also tweaked Port…
Dear Writin_Reg -- just when I thought there was finally a expansion I didn't want and you sent me looking at info and pictures... there are more giant ferns and jet skis and slides for pools and house boats --- now I want it ... :D But how much do you want to bet that the pool bars will conflict with the late night…
Writin_Reg -- thanks for that info. I may have to go over to that site and check it out. Sounds like there may be a lot of stuff that could be added that I need to plan for and leave room for. :) :-) :D Alas, I don't have any pictures today and will be leaving on a business trip tomorrow AM and not back to Monday evening…
Its a decoration building of an abandoned Saw Mill -- I dropped it there so I would forget it was available. It won't live there for long. I am glad you like the new version of PA -- I am having fun with it. I have been browsing images of water fronts walks on and off all day. Looking for inspiration... I am also curious…
Ignore my last post about Port Angeles Area. I redid it again last night. I think I am happy with it now -- we will see how long that lasts. Please forgive the CAW shot instead of an EIG one - but I forgot to go back in and get an new one after I made some changes and updated the terrain paint. Port-Angeles-Map---Labeled…
Writin_Reg: Yeah -- if plants were bought from the store, they would still be extra content -- but they would be store content (which I don't class as custom content since its made by the officials). The big difference is the price -- even 500 store credits is much cheaper than the 2450 credits and most definitely cheaper…
I wish EA would sell plants for other worlds in the store. I don't want to require the purchase of a world just to use my world. Hell, I am trying to keep the store content to minimal, as it is. So it looks like if my experiment doesn't work, I will have to use the terrain paint and crafty height mapping -- or I will have…
I could have sworn I uploaded a bunch of pictures last night after spending time tweaking PLF and working on the honeymoon cabin but when I logged in this AM to grab them and post, I only found two new pics uploaded. GRR. So this is only half a report Port Angeles Screenshot-295 by GLaChaille, on Flickr From the overhead…
I am currently working on a world but it is (hopefully) nearing completion. I would be glad to help once finished. What do you have in mind? Are you thinking Gallifrey or just some undiscovered world? Futuristic? Mirror Earth?
Happy Monday All --- okay, so its also a dreary Monday and I am at work -- so maybe not so happy. I did a lot of work this weekend but I apparently forgot to upload the pictures to my flickr account, which means I can't show it to you. So here is a hint of what I will show you when I get the shots uploaded ... La Push All…
I have a question for those who play the game (I only play rarely. I prefer to build) -- I was thinking of putting the fairy arboretum in a hidden lot some secluded place in the mountains. The primary way to access it would be through a well. I am worried about routing and randomly-spawning of Sims getting stuck there. I…
Happy Tuesday everyone -- just thought I would drop by on my lunch break and post an update. I did lots of tweaking over the weekend (lots of doing and undoing, too). I also had an EIG issue -- it wouldn't open -- took me all of Sunday afternoon and part of last night post work to figure it out and get it fixed. Sigh. But…
I do have a Sims specific twitter account --I could give it a try. Just need to figure out what to say -- maybe write about it on my Sims Page blog and link to it. Going back to work with on Port La Forks. Hopefully make some good progress.
