Sorry it's been so long since I last updated! October was a busy month for me -- hopefully November won't be the same, but I make no promises. I do have some new pictures for you all, though! The day of their move, John quickly got to work as the farm manager of the colony. He worked by himself, as with most of the plants…

Hello, everyone! I did not find anymore problems with the world other than the ones that I have already fixed, so I uploaded the final, CC-free version of Selkirk County to mediafire! The link can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vsgiwymzpp0tmy0/Selkirk_County.Sims3Pack/file. Thank you for all of your support -…

Hello, everyone! Although I didn't update last weekend I've been rather busy with fixing the world for the final version. And, after much work, I think I fixed everything! First off I'd like to post some pictures of the interior of the Hutterite homes, as I finished tweaking them to my liking. Like the previous version,…

Also, after a lot of hard work, I'm proud to say that Diana earned a service award!: She spent a few hours at City Hall, getting the award and probably listening to a boring speech made by Selkirk County's non-existent mayor. Not long after Diana got her award, I developed a plan as to where I wanted to go next with the…

Apologies for another late update! I receive short notice a lot on how busy I will be on the weekends, and last weekend was no exception to that. That being said, I got some more pictures for you all! I decided to send Judith to the mausoleum one day because it's kind of hard to find collectables when they're covered in…

@fxchrfxchr, thank you for your impressions! I definitely agree that the beach around the beach lot needs to be smoothed out more. The beach was actually something akin to a last minute decision when I was making this world, as I had been planning on having nothing but a rough shoreline. As for the trees, I haven't noticed…

After the birth of Michael, things started going a bit more smoothly for my Hutterites. Jakob wound up writing two books, a Hutterian Brethren version of the Bible and a Hutterian book of hymns. After each sim reads the first skill books for Logic, Handiness, Cooking, Gardening, and Charisma, they read these two books, as…

Sorry for the late update - the flu season started early this year where I live! But I have plenty of more pictures for you guys to enjoy to make up for it! -- A few days after Jakob II was born, Deborah came out for a visit again and haunted mostly plants. However, instead of vanishing at dawn, she instead drove a cab…

Since Rachel, Rebekah, and Judith all reside on the main lot, they've all gotten a little stir crazy more than once. To combat this, I've let them go out hunting for metals/gems/etc....wildflowers included! Also, after a week of living in Selkirk County, I decided that it was time for the baby boom to begin. Jakob and…

I'm not exactly sure as to how to begin this post, but I figured that you all might find this rather funny. Since I started off with 11 sims but CAS only allows you 8 sims per household, I had to make two households before merging them together in-game. However, after placing the households, I soon realized that when…

The Hutterite Challenge: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/965898/the-hutterite-challenge

I made 11 sims for this challenge, 9 of which will be active because two of them will become ghosts. These 11 sims belong to four different families: the Waldners, the Hofers, the Tschetters, and the Kleinsassers (all of which are genuine Hutterite surnames). Starting off with the Waldner family: Jakob Waldner is the head…

@Hidehi, I'm glad you're liking the world so far! Truthfully, I'm not sure what I would've done had deleting the cache files not worked; I was kind of at my wits' end when I deleted them lol. But I definitely agree about the trees; I had to actually stop and admire them for about five minutes when I realized how beautiful…
-
@fxchrfxchr, thank you for the advice! I did everything you said and I believe it worked. I didn't see anything in CUSTARD and the new version of the world is actually slightly smaller than the old version of the world. Download link for the new version is here (the Exchange still isn't working for me for some reason):…
-
@KiearaPhoenix, thank you! The trees were done by section as I went through the world. Once I finished placing and building lots, I would place the trees, so they were a constant thing on my to-do list. I would say out of the ~330 hours it took me to build this world (that's an underestimate, it probably took around 360…
-
@fxchrfxchr, thank you for the screenshot! When I saw that last night I knew exactly what those objects were and then went into the save I currently have of the world to look for them. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them. There's only a handful of places that those objects could be in and after several double, triple, and…
-
@Hidehi, Thanks for letting me know about this problem. I do have some cc in my game, but I don't believe I put any of those items in the finished version of Selkirk County. I did once in the beginning (back when I wasn't sure if I was going to make the world public or not), but I made sure to delete the cc when I was…
-
Alright! I can gladly say that after much work today, Selkirk County is finished! The work today wasn't so much from the houses than it was from trying to get the world downloadable, to be honest. Apparently I don't have a network (...?) to upload Selkirk County onto the Exchange, so I wound up putting it on mediafire…
-
Well, I'm sorry to say that I am not going to be able to upload Selkirk County this weekend like I thought I was going to be able to. :disappointed: All I had left to do today was build one more house, but I guess EIG finally had enough because it crashed on me twice. I'm going to be busy tonight, tomorrow, and on Monday…

@MemoriiValentine, thank you! I very much appreciate your willingness to test the world as well! Hopefully it'll be ready for that by next weekend. @MissyHissy, thank you again! I had a lot of fun building the resort, especially because I partially based it off of a hotel chain that I've frequented a lot in the past. :p…
-
@Hidehi, thank you! I love rural worlds; I think they're my favorite type of world to play in this game. @MissyHissy, thank you as well! I was a little nervous when I was just starting this world when it came to using the Riverview map. But besides the hills I don't really even see Riverview in the world anymore,…

@carlystur03 Really? I thought child-aged sims could die both by drowning and by fire. Not sure about other deaths, though.

I still buy stuff from the store from time to time! Mostly because my computer is very, very old and I'm not sure if it could handle me downloading a SP...downloading the EP was hard enough. So I like to buy new stuff in small increments when I can.
-
Oh, wow! Tens of thousands of vehicles! For the past year or so I've mostly played in Riverview, and the most vehicles I've seen deleted there with Overwatch is like 300. Also, now I finally realize why Starlight Shores was always a little too laggy for my liking the few times I played in it lol. This was before I got…

Hi @thesimmer14, I experienced the same problem with my game un-ticking my Ambitions EP for months. It got to the point where I had to open up the launcher, click the "install packs", and start my game by clicking on the Ambitions pack in Origin...and even that eventually didn't work. But I think a big chunk of the problem…

I've always known I was a Sims 3 addict, I just didn't know how bad until I went to Minnesota for a small vacation in June. My first thought when I got there was something like "...Wow, Minnesota looks so much like the world I'm making". Then I paused, and kind of went, "Wait...I just thought Minnesota looked like my sims…
-
I came up with a new challenge, but it's still in its infant stages (partially because it requires its own world, but mostly because I haven't figured out all of the rules for it yet) so this is more of a "testing the waters" post, if you will. The challenge is a gameplay challenge where you have to get your sims to live…
-
I've only ever played the Sims 3, so I'm probably biased when I say it has the best music lol. But I also enjoy it because a lot of songs I like (or have come to like over the years) are sims-ified on there - it's even gotten to the point where sometimes I'll turn on the radio at public lots and skip until I find one of…
-
Your world looks really amazing! I definitely like the light blue water - it definitely gives your world a Mediterranean feel. I also like the lore behind your world; it reminds me of the works of Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato, which of course helps show off your inspiration from Mediterranean cultures. :)

I'm the type of person that once I've lost interest in a save, I delete it. Which is kind of bittersweet, because sometimes I find pictures of my long-deleted saves and wish I could go back and play them!
Howdy, Stranger!
