  • Looks like it is a fence post, but for one of the hedge fences. I've seen it with other fence posts if one MOOs a fence gate somewhere there isn't fence, then move it again, it leaves fence posts behind that can't be deleted or moved directly. I usually get rid of them by connecting a fence to them, then deleting it. Might…
  • @Mystik1978 Having looked closely at that family and planning on playing them myself sometime soon, my plan is that it depends on whether Colin and Lena are attracted to each other or not. If not, their partners will be joining the household and it will grow quickly and they will have extra hands to help sooner. If they…
  • Ugh... Having lost all the comments I wrote last night because I stupidly forgot to save my word document before going to bed, I've realized that even being ridiculously far behind, I should post my comments as I write them, rather than storing them up... So here's the first batch. @ciane The Wang Family is such a lovely,…
  • So much to do, so little time! I've been alternating between playing and looking at each gift and commenting in depth. I have so much catching up to do! I've been taking pictures while playing, though, and considering sharing how Shade and Sasha have been faring in my game... when I have time. I don't think I ever actually…
  • @Mystik1978 No rush and no worries! :) As you can see, I only just got my last gift posted a few hours ago. I still have several days worth of gifts to look at, comment on and rec. I have plenty to keep me busy!
  • @equuest Gift #4 Thank you for being patient while I prepared this final gift for presenting! It is the grand finale. In your letter you asked for a lot that combined the World of Wonder and Boardwalk venues. You also mentioned having a hard time deciding where to place it. I had never worked with the roller coaster pieces…
  • @equuest Yay! So glad you like Calista and her home! Hopefully they will add a fun bit of local flavor to your Twinbrook. :) Sorry about the curtains! I tried to gift them to you, not sure if it went through or not. Stay tuned! I'll be posting the final gift for you momentarily. @Jessabeans I'm so flattered you asked about…
  • @equuest Gifts 2 & 3 Though the Bayou Craftsman was the first gift I built, these two were the first that I thought of. You mentioned liking all occults. I'm especially fond on plant sims myself and think they never get enough love, so I decided make you one, and for some reason I thought an old, grumpy one would be a good…
  • @equuest I'm so glad you like the bayou craftsman! I always forget to mention placement... I built it for 574 Bayou Gulch Drive, although that area has a couple of 30x30 lots and it should be fine at any of them. I'll to add that to the original post, too. I decided I wanted to present the next two gifts together, so thank…
  • Okay, finally have a chance to sit, look at all the amazing gifts shared, steal download, rec, favorite and comment on everything! So first up, of course... @Mystik1978 I can't believe you stayed up until 4am getting these posted! :o Then had a rough start to your day! I'm sorry to hear that and hope it got better! I'm…
  • Wow! I always think I know what to expect when gifting day comes and then I'm blown away anyway. So many amazing creations have been posted already. I guess I'm late to the party. Sorry to keep you waiting! Without further ado... To: @equuest Gift #1 Hi, I'm your buddy! Addy wasn't kidding when she said she made her…
  • @Mystik1978 Oh gosh! Thank you so much!!! Like you, I'm not allowing myself to look closely at the gifts I've received until I post the one that I'm giving, but I wanted to let you know that I had seen them and love them already, just from peeking. I'm touched that I got a gift from your daughter. It's so sweet and…
  • I'm here! Been so caught up working in game I forgot to report in here. My second and biggest gift is nearing completion, in testing phases now (with help from Addy as a second pair of eyes! <3 ). I have a third, very small but unusual build that is quickly taking shape. And somewhere in there I'm going to find time to…
  • I haven't had any fires in my gifts, but I did have zombies partaking in the activities on a community lot that I happened to be at testing when the full moon rose. I took it as a good sign that the zombies would rather make use of the fun things available than attack my testers. :D
  • @Jessabeans Thanks for the quick answers! I'm not sure I want to try to figure out a new mod mid-exchange, so I'll probably go with the other solution for now, but that's yet another reason on my growing list for installing more Nraas mods (currently just have Story Progression and opportunity fix). I probably recolored…
  • Hi all! I've been keeping my head down, working hard on my big gift. Making good progress with it, although always slower than I'd like. I have four more gift ideas--three small, one medium. I know I won't be able to do all of them, but I'm hoping to finish up the big one with time left for a couple small ones. Sounds like…
  • Of the EP worlds, I guess Appaloosa Plains is probably my favorite, mostly because it is so horse-friendly. Lots of fun off-road riding trails to explore and all the community lots have the tethering posts. My favorite is actually Hidden Springs, though. Followed closely by Sunlit Tides and Dragon Valley. I just love the…
  • @Jessabeans @ADWilson @ciane @SamelaRita @Kgaff Thank you all for the kind well-wishes. <3 I can already tell after half a day wearing a splint and keeping weight off it that it is helping. @Kgaff That owl is so cute! And I love the colors! All the chat about process is very interesting! Like others, I start by looking up…
  • Checking in! I was holding off because after getting my first gift 99% done, I tried to start my big gift idea and was struggling with it for a few days. I was working with new, unfamiliar things and it took a bit for me to figure things out. But I finally started making good progress yesterday and even finished (or mostly…
  • Woot! My first gift is 99% done, needing only the presentation to finish it up, which I'll worry about on gifting day. It feels a bit weird to have a gift done this early, since I'm usually multitasking and finish everything right at the end. On the other hand, this was supposed to be a small, quick one and took me longer…
  • Everyone has such different creative processes. It's fun to see all the chatter and hear what everyone is up to! :) I'm still coming up with ideas for the one big gift I have planned, so I started with something a bit smaller. For me, my frustration is not with any particular part of the design or process, but with how…
  • @Mystik1978 Yes! In your Sims 3 folder (~/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3) is a folder called "Exports." Your build/sim/household should be there as a sims3pack, with the name you gave it. Take the file from there, transfer it to your other machine (email, flash drive, etc), open your launcher and then double click…
  • I don't have a folder... Just a separate browser window with too many tabs :D Saving it all so I don't lose them is a good idea, though! This is a very good idea too! :)
  • Buddy name received, scheming and research commenced!
  • @AlphaFen Thank you for your patience and understanding! I was really hoping to have it done before the gift exchange started. I finished decorating yesterday, but still need to do landscaping and testing. I saw you joined the gift exchange, too, so hopefully that means you won't be missing it too much amidst the creating…
  • @friendsfan367 It's sweet of you to remember me, thank you! It's good to see you again. :) @ADWilson @ciane Thanks for the warm welcome! :) I'm catching that excitement to get started too! :D
  • I'm wrapping up with my current project, so here's my letter to make sure I don't miss the sign up deadline! Looking forward to an exciting and fun gift exchange with you all! Username: KaytayRoall Link to your Sims 3 My Page: https://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/KaytayRoall I have installed the following Expansion Packs:…
  • Hi guys and congratulations to the winners of this round! Which is to say, everyone! With such wonderful creations made and shared and played, seems to me like everyone wins. <3 @AlphaFen Thank you so much for sharing your remarkable castle theme park! It looks amazing! (And thank you @ZeeGee for sharing your pics and fun…
  • Ahh! I'm so excited!! Especially after missing the last one... I'm going to have to buckle down to finish my current project (for the Gift of Creation game) before buddy names get handed out. Anyway, I'll be back later with my buddy letter, but I wanted to drop in and say hi! Lots of familiar faces and amazing creators…
