@luthienrising Thanks so much for creating and managing this thread. It's a lifesaver for us mod users. Love that you use the REUPDATED notation on the mods that have had multiple updates. Makes it much easier to skim through the list periodically to check on my mods. Your hard work is much appreciated!
Hi @PalmArrow, I've been reading along on Morgan's adventures since the beginning and have really enjoyed it. Sorry I haven't commented till now. I've been a lazy lurker. ;) I, too, would wait until Morgan can afford to live elsewhere. Being off the grid is no fun after a while. He can't even play the sims!
@Netzspannung, apologies for the lack of comments lately. I do love all the inspiration you've been providing us, per usual. Although I've been too busy (and tired) lately to comment, whenever I see an update on this thread, I still pop in and take a peek at your latest creations. I drop an "awesome" on your post and get…
Hi @OliCait, I see that you've requested feedback on your blog in another post. I think you'll need to add some navigation help if you want to encourage people to read your blog. It's difficult at this point to find the beginning of your story, and some people may want to do so. Navigating from one post to the next is also…
All lovely options once again @Netzspannung! The orange dress looks great on your sim (#6). It really complements her skin tone, and the accessories you chose give a modern touch to a classic silhouette. In the outfit to her right (#7), by going monochromatic, the pants and top could pass for a jumpsuit. Very clever -- I…
@OliCait, I just noticed you'd included the URL for your blog in another post. I checked it out, and I think the issue is that you have posts set to "infinite scroll." That works great for people who blog about random things but doesn't work well for a story format because everything ends up in reverse order. If you turn…
Hi. I can feel your frustration. I'm a fellow blogger on WordPress. I used to use Blogger/Blogspot years ago but don't remember much about setup details. Usually, those types of options are tied to whatever theme you're using and there's some help available from the theme's creator. It's not always obvious, though. It took…
Hey there. You're welcome! I'm trying to toss you a few more gifts today but the system is quite slow. Cross your fingers that it decides to cooperate! ;) Edit: Success! :smile:
You're welcome, @Netzspannung. Nicely done! These combinations are all new to me, and I like 'em! Once again, you must've used tops from other categories -- everyday, perhaps? I don't recall seeing some of these tops as athletic wear options. Like you, I quite like the lime green outfit in #7. Although I wear a lot of…
@EmmaVane -- Glad to see you're participating in this challenge! I've found lots of great male sims here to add to my library. I'm a particular fan of Jaden and just downloaded/fave'd him. I love all the outfits you chose for him and am sure they look even better in game when you can see how they enhance his green eyes.…
You did a great job with all of these outfits, @Netzspannung. I'm generally not a fan of country or western wear, being a city girl. ;) But you made it work. My faves are #3, 5, 6 and 7. When I think of country style, #3 is what immediately comes to mind. Love the jacket in #5. It has a southwest look that would be great…
Hi, everyone! The next chapter of The Island Challenge is now available for viewing if you're interested: Day 11 - All Work and No Play. Hope you enjoy it!
@Netzspannung - Awesome job! Love them all and haven't tried a single one of your combinations. My sims rarely get to spend much time swimming, so the lack of options in that category hasn't bothered me as much as usual. ;)
@Netzspannung More ideas: Athletic wear for the gym and beyond? This could work for males & females, YA, teens ... whatever your heart desires. Thanks! :smile:
Hi @GREENEYA. I just tried to gift you the coffee table that was on your list. I got an error message saying it didn't go through, but now I don't see it on your list. Did you happen to receive it, either from me or someone else? OK, now I see that the points have also been taken from my account. So, that's good. I'm…
These are all beautiful options, @Netzspannung. The tuxedo jacket is a standout. Ignoring gender labels in CAS opens up so many more options. I must admit, I never think to do that, so this was an eye opener for me. Thanks! :smile:
Thanks for sharing again @Netzspannung. I agree with you that kids' clothes are lacking in TS4, and especially in the shoe department. There are so few to choose from, and several of the girls' shoes are quite drab, like little rounded-edge blocks. (I noticed you didn't use those.) :wink: Choosing a shoe that completes the…
Having fun is the most important thing! Thanks for providing us with more fashions for men. I find myself drawn to your #4 and #5 outfits. I love both those pairs of jeans. The green & black jacket in #4 looks vaguely familiar. I may have used it before and just not looked at all the color options. It suits him. I don't…
Hi, everyone! The next chapter of The Island Challenge is now available for viewing if you're interested: Day 10 - Invigorated. My apologies for the lengthy delay between chapters. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for responding, @IllusoryThrall. I see you've started the challenge yourself. I enjoyed reading the first chapter. Best of luck with it! I may have a go after I finish The Island Challenge. My problem is I want to do all the challenges and I'm having enough trouble trying to keep up with one at the moment. Just in…
The Master Simmer Challenge is quite a challenge, @IllusoryThrall. That must've been a lot of work to put together. It's certainly a great way to get players to experience everything the game has to offer. I have some questions after reading through the rules. * You mention that you need to start with an empty lot or…
@Netzspannung, I totally get it. I've always worked in an office as well. It's a great representation of what guys typically wear for business casual. :smile: BTW, I wasn't saying all guys wear neutrals, of course. My hubby is a very plain dresser and I've grown used to his expansive color palette of black, gray, white and…
Thanks @Netzspannung for showing some great options for the guys! The outfits are fairly simple and mostly neutrals, which lots of guys wear, but it's the attention to detail that makes the difference to me. For example, I love the shoes you chose. I rarely use cropped pants on guys, but if I do, it's always with…
Hi @Charlotta11, I'm a terrible builder but have great respect for those who are accomplished at it (or just plain enjoy it)! If you're looking for inspiration and don't mind getting it from Sims 3, I have a great blog for you to check out. It's https://gcsims.com/, by @GreenCats. She's incredibly talented and has nearly…
@Netzspannung, thank you for sharing your CAS creations on this post. I've found lots of inspiration! I have a bad habit of using the same pieces repeatedly, as well as some cc, but you've shown that there are lots of great options I haven't considered. Finding unique outfits for men is my biggest challenge. I'd love it if…
Hi @LyraTrisha, The way I interpreted the rules is that the teen wouldn't be able to send toddler siblings to daycare for two reasons:* She doesn't have any money (and will need whatever she manages to get for food & shelter) * She's trying to stay under the radar and not get caught by social services That's why I think…
