A medium Island with base game with room to expand sounds fantastic. Although there are many great ideas already expressed I would be interested in a New England island based on history/architecture of Block Island and/or Martha's Vineyard
As @Karritz says it needs to be on higher ground. You can 1. pick a different lot that is already on higher ground 2. or try to place it on the lot you already chose by using "SetImportedTerrainOffset positive number". It will place the lot on a plateau. Hopefully you can use terrain smoothing tools to make it look more…
My favorite is Seasons - love all the seasonal activities, holidays, festivals but since I like SIMS 3 scenery the changing landscapes are my favorite. Although I do like the changing weather I think there is too much rain so I use NRaas Tempest mod to have more control of the weather.
I finished recoloring all the community lots in my altered version of Midnight Hollow. This picture of the hospital is my last shot. I decided to use the trees from University instead of the Black Gums on the simagon ally lot.
I've been recoloring the various Midnight Hollow rabbit-holes as part of my transformation of Midnight Hollow. This is the last picture this morning of a view of Simagon Alley. Other views of Simagon Alley I'm not quite finished. I think I will replace all the small fir trees in the planted beds with something different.…
I've had that happen in the past when my teens traveled to France to stay at their family vacation house. They would usually change back to their regular height but it was annoying when they first arrived. I was wondering if somehow the French location remembered their height from when they visited before as children with…
The mods I can't do without are many of the NRaas mods. These are most of the NRaas mods I use: Tagger MasterController and many of its sub-mods Traveler Register Overwatch StoryProgression and many of its sub-mods Tempest Relativity and a few that can not be mentioned here. I also have other mods, some I can do without…
Since you don't seem to lean toward "occults" or pets another consideration is the town layout and atmosphere. I often remove all the towns people and replace them with my own sims. I also remodel many or even most of the lots in town. So for me the aesthetics of a town is important. I like Moonlight Falls better than…
I only a short time with one of my vampires who then moved to Twinbrook to join another game there. I've always liked the layout of Midnight Hollow so am looking forward to playing there once I get the rest of the lot editing done. It could be awhile :).
Here are a couple of pictures of an unedited Midnight Hollow. They still use the 2 Midnight Hollow mods to recolor haunted plants and terrain paint and they use the same lighting tweaks. The difference is these still have the black leafless trees original to Midnight Hollow.
I use 2 Midnight Hollow specific mods: one that replaces the default terrain paint - shimrod's Midnight Hollow terrain paint replacement one that changes the coloration of all the haunted trees and plants - Midnight Hollow plants override package . I use some of the separate lighting tweaks from this Wasset site as well as…
My apologies for my earlier comment. I didn't read the bolded part. What you suggested wouldn't be so bad as I thought. Since I am using 1.67 and don't use the launcher I didn't realize you could do that.
This is the last screen shot I took a few days ago. It is of Midnight Hollow. I took it to compare with a copy of Midnight Hollow I've been working on in CAW. I already use the Midnight Hollow plants override package for all of the haunted plants and shimrod's Midnight Hollow terrain paint replacement to lighten Midnight…
If you use mods I would suggest NRaas Tagger. This mod allows you to specify the information shown on the Sim tags when hovered on and for easy location to color those tags. I usually color my sim tags and house tags by relationship with the current active sim. I customize my sim tags with info such as sexual preference,…
That would be like cutting off your arm to remove a wart on your finger. I don't like to use all the automatically placed lots and those I do use I don't often like where they get placed but I definitely like all the content of the EPs.
Yes. I was going to mention this problem with the SV school back door but your pictures show the problem better. It took my sims child not coming home from school one afternoon before I found them stuck with a whole group of kids outside the back door before I made the sidewalk and stairs usable. And the university doors…
@HillyBeth here are some suggestions to get her nose and mouth to look more like the original. Nose: 1. give it some mass 2. nostrils less definition and less scale Mouth: 1. lower the height of the the mouth (if it is already at the lowest then lower the height of the jaw, slightly) 2. decrease the width of the upper lip…
