    :arrow: I also own some odds and ends from other sets. Feel free to use some store content I don't have listed. If I don't have it, I'm sure I'll want it and try to get it later. :)

    I have the following Worlds:
    Dragon Valley
    Midnight Hollow
    Riverview
    Monte Vista
    Hidden Springs
    Barnacle Bay


    Some of my favorite Colors are:
    Autumn hues, blues and greys. I also like shades of green and plum.

    I really don't like this Color:
    There really isn't a color I dislike.

    I love to use this set:
    Pretty much everything! XD

    I play mostly in this world:
    Hidden Springs, Dragon Valley, Isla Paradiso, Moonlight Falls, Sunset Valley, Riverview. I'd like to play more in Monte Vista, Barnacle Bay, and Midnight Hollow.

    I enjoy this style of build the most:
    Victorian, Modern

    I really don't want this in my game:
    Can't think of anything atm.

    I would like lots of the following sizes:
    10x10 - 30x30

    I enjoy/don't enjoy berry, occult sims, etc.
    I enjoy all types of sims. ^_^

    I would/would not enjoy pets in the household
    I don't play with pets very often, but don't mind them.

    Other~ (Describe here anything that you would really like.)
    I don't mind CAP. I've been wanting an apartment/duplex or regular home build just like or similar to this. A different color scheme or style would be fine. Design Seeds is a good site if you need color combination ideas. Another idea for homes would be something Asian themed or influenced, Mediterranean, or Bohemian. I also like cottages and 50/60's style homes. My favorite things to do in the game are gardening and cooking. I usually play with sims who have the green thumb, bookworm, artistic, natural cook traits. My favorite supernatural sims are faeries, and witches. I've been curious to play with aliens, plantsims, and mermaids. Normal sims are just fine - I always enjoy playing with them too. It would be nice to have some sort of camp-ground lot - I don't think I've seen one before.

    Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs I have installed: It's easier to say what I don't have... I do not have Movie Stuff

    I have the following Store Content: Again, easier to say what I don't have. If it's on my Wish List I don't have it, everything else I probably do have. :oops:

    I have the following Worlds: I don't have Midnight Hollow, all the rest I own.

    Some of my favorite Colors are:

    <a href="http://s24.photobucket.com/user/corettabarajas/media/Computer Gaming/59e8551f-50bc-4c39-abff-d3f7b2bfd147_zpsf478a91a.jpg.html&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c15/corettabarajas/Computer Gaming/59e8551f-50bc-4c39-abff-d3f7b2bfd147_zpsf478a91a.jpg&quot; border="0" alt=" photo 59e8551f-50bc-4c39-abff-d3f7b2bfd147_zpsf478a91a.jpg"/></a>

    I really don't like this Color: It's not so much a color as a scheme, neon...

    <a href="http://s24.photobucket.com/user/corettabarajas/media/Computer Gaming/f473a3a9-5177-44af-9381-0898078c0336_zps1cab4544.jpg.html&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c15/corettabarajas/Computer Gaming/f473a3a9-5177-44af-9381-0898078c0336_zps1cab4544.jpg&quot; border="0" alt=" photo f473a3a9-5177-44af-9381-0898078c0336_zps1cab4544.jpg"/></a>

    I love to use this set: My favorite... ummm... uh... mid century modern is one of my favorites... but it changes, there are so many great ones!

    I play mostly in this world: I switch between a few, Lucky Palms, Aurora Skies, Isla Paradiso, Dragon Valley... also the world that came with SN (the name escapes my mommy brain atm)

    I enjoy this style of build the most: Contemporary/traditional, lots of space for sims and pets to move around

    I really don't want this in my game: Custom Content

    I would like lots of the following sizes: Smaller lots, especially community lots.

    I enjoy/don't enjoy berry, occult sims, etc. I love them ALL!

    I would/would not enjoy pets in the household I almost always get at least one dog in game, usually 2, I haven't played with horses in awhile, although I was just recently thinking about doing that.

    Other~ (Describe here anything that you would really like.) I don't mind new patterns/textures (CAP), but can't stress enough how I want to avoid CC... My sims almost always need a green house but rarely use a home pool. I like lots to be weather friendly (therefore the greenhouse :) ) and zombie proof. If I think of more I will update!

    YellowJane, Yes you were strongly suggested to join huh? :oops: LOL I'm glad to see you here. Don't stress too much over the store list. Just let people know generally what you have. You can always pop back in and edit your list after you've posted your letter. Just as long as you've added as much as you can by the time the names go out. And like everyone said Berry Sims are just different in skin tones is all. That's really the only difference.

    Yes... by someone ;)
    I may type up my list and then edit it for the store content.
    Then I have less to do later during the week, with work and all.
    Hope that's okay! :)

    I have the following Worlds:
    All :)

    Some of my favorite Colors are:
    Red and Purple are my fave colours, but in builds and Sims, I don't always obsessively use it, if that makes sense :lol: I prefer woods and stuff, to metallics.


    I really don't like this Color:

    Not a fan of concrete grey

    I love to use this set:
    It really depends on what I'm building. I may edit this if I have more ideas... I love using the Stone's Throw Greenhouse! And I use my world items a lot I think. EDIT: All in all, looking through my Purchase History, my fave sets are the Stone Throws Greenhouse, Mother Russia, and the Cirque Set, I'd say :) Doesn't mean I use them all the time but i love them :)

    I play mostly in this world:
    Hmmm... It varies. My fave world is Monte Vista, but I play with most of them pretty evenly, some less. I don't use Roaring Heights or Starlight Shores much, as I don't really like the style of builds there for some reason!

    I enjoy this style of build the most:
    Fantasy, Faire Folk, Good Family Homes for large amounts of Sims furnished with woods. I love wood! It's beautiful and I always love it in my homes :) I do like Modern, if it's clean and white: I hate modern that's all concrete grey. If you want an example, look for the big house in Lucky Palms: the Claw: eww! I don't like that style at all :lol: Other than that I'm open minded... Fantasy, Modern, whatever :) I'm also a fan of Fairy Tales like Alice in Wonderland :)

    I really don't want this in my game:
    Nothing to do with the Showtime Careers or Pets... As I don't have Pets :lol: I've already said I don't like some style of modern, and in a household, sexist as this may sound, I don't enjoy all-male households. I prefer female characters for some reason :oops:

    I would like lots of the following sizes:
    I really don't mind about the size. I love tiny homes and I love massive homes and I love all sizes inbetween :lol:

    I enjoy/don't enjoy berry, occult sims, etc.
    I don't want Berry Sims as I don't really find it easy to play with bright coloured Sims. Unless they're tinged like Granny Shue or something :lol: I love occults! Witches and Vampires are preffered to fairies or werewolves or genies but I love Supernatural. It's my fave EP!

    I would/would not enjoy pets in the household
    I don't have the Pets EP :oops: :lol: And I don't like dogs or cats in rl anyway. So no thank you :)

    Other~ (Describe here anything that you would really like.)

    -Houses, I love... Some of you may know I have a thing for wrap around porches :lol::lol: Literally, if I see them I squeal inside. Roofing is possibly my weakest point of building, so I love a well roofed house with wrap around balconies, of any of the styles above. Although I like all sizes for different families, houses with room for a large household are possibly a bigger want as I tend to end up with huge families, not wanting to kick anyone out. And I can't find the time to do spacious houses for myself. But I like all sizes! :mrgreen: Apartments with room for more than just 1 sim are always good, too!
    -Community Lots I always like! I get bored with the pre-made ones. Consignment Stores, Gymns, Art Galleries, anything tbh.

    So yeah although I may have sounded really picky, I am actually pretty broad with my tastes :) I hope I haven't been too vague with all my answers... At the same time I hope I haven't been too over-detailed and specific! :oops: :lol: I really do like all sorts of styles and so on :)

    Hi there secret buddy :).

    I'm writing you this little letter, so you have some inspiration for this event. I do hope that you will enjoy building and creating and you can be sure that I will enjoy anything you build and create for me :). Here is all the info you'll need, have fun with it! :D

    Username: DolphineQ

    Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs I have installed: All of them.

    I have the following Store Content: I have almost everything from the store. The items I don't have are on my WL, so if you use something I don't have, I will make sure to get it asap. I am going to buy the Bakery set that comes out this week too!

    I have the following Worlds: All of them.

    Some of my favorite Colors are: Cream, almost all shades of greens, blues. Warm colors are lovely, as are cold. I'm really easy when it comes to that.

    I really don't like this Color: Purple and brown. I generally avoid using those two colors, apart from a few specific shades of them.

    I love to use this set: Ooooh, I can't pick one... ACK! :D Too many sets I love. Though I am certain that the upcoming Bakery set combined with the Boheme set are going to be my favorite useables for a long time to come. I also do love the I <3 the 50's set!

    I play mostly in this world: I toodle around in all the worlds, depending on which family I play with. Even a few usermade worlds. When I build however, I tend to prefer building in Sunset Valley or Riverview.

    I enjoy this style of build the most: Any. I am easy to please!

    I really don't want this in my game: CC. I can't stress that enough. CC is a no-go for me, it's messed up my game once and I don't wanna risk it again.

    I would like lots of the following sizes: 20x30, 30x20, 30x40, 40x40. Those are the ones I like the most, bigger lots tend to slow my game down a bit.

    I enjoy/don't enjoy berry, occult sims, etc.: I don't really have an interest in Berry Sims. Occults I'm a bit iffy about, I do like them, but I very rarely play them.

    I would/would not enjoy pets in the household: No pets is probably best for me. Again, I like them, but I never play with them.

    Other: I would really like you to have fun. Go nuts and be really creative, make me something that YOU think is fun and that you think I'd get some good laughs out of. I always have a need for a fresh supply of male Sims (*cough*), quirky houses are always a hit and so are female Sims with a spunky personality and a good background story. I'm really easy to please, the thought alone that YOU spent time and effort on making me something is what matters to me, so what ever you come up with will be greatly treasured :).

    :D I spotted this thread earlier this morning, but only had time to properly comment now ^_^

    So, just to be clear, we first post our letter form? And then you will email us with the name of our buddy?

    It's not that we need to email one of you first?

    Correct! No need to email one of us first.

    Some do a post to indicate their interest [this can count as yours ;)]; then return to continue on & sometimes they don't. We count the LETTER as your "official" I-am-SO-joining-this-and-ready-to-have-fun!

    No need to email us.
    Tanu reads the letters several times and gets a feel for who could/should be paired based on some secret formula only she knows (just kidding on this small piece!)(maybe). [end of Alert]

    She does the pairings of buddies and I think she did a wonderful job with it last time!! She will then email your name to you when its time to do so. This way the Secret Name has a better chance to stay a SECRET. :mrgreen:

    Hope this helped answer your question and not confused you further. Typing at 4:30 in the A.M. might NOT be my best time to play "I'll answer that!" but I'm giving it a go anyway :lol:

    :D I spotted this thread earlier this morning, but only had time to properly comment now ^_^

    So, just to be clear, we first post our letter form? And then you will email us with the name of our buddy?

    It's not that we need to email one of you first?

    Correct! No need to email one of us first.

    Some do a post to indicate their interest [this can count as yours ;)]; then return to continue on & sometimes they don't. We count the LETTER as your "official" I-am-SO-joining-this-and-ready-to-have-fun!

    No need to email us.
    Tanu reads the letters several times and gets a feel for who could/should be paired based on some secret formula only she knows (just kidding on this small piece!)(maybe). [end of Alert]

    She does the pairings of buddies and I think she did a wonderful job with it last time!! She will then email your name to you when its time to do so. This way the Secret Name has a better chance to stay a SECRET. :mrgreen:

    Hope this helped answer your question and not confused you further. Typing at 4:30 in the A.M. might NOT be my best time to play "I'll answer that!" but I'm giving it a go anyway :lol:

    Perfectly clear to me :) Thank you!

    I will do my letter right away :)

    Very much looking forward to this ^_^ Thank you very much to yourself and Tanubanue for organizing this :)

    Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs I have installed:
    Seasons, University, Showtime, Generations, Island Paradise, Into the Future, 70's 80's 90's, Diesel.

    I have the following Store Content:
    Too many scattered items to list. I don't really feel like making a list so I'll just go with no store content please.

    I have the following Worlds:
    Monte Vista, Hidden Springs, Riverview.

    Some of my favorite Colors are:

    I love pastels (greens, blues, yellows), any shade of green, beige, black, grey, light browns/toffee, deep reds/pale reds, etc.

    I really don't like this Color:

    I really don't like dark brown or orange.

    I love to use this set:

    I use Ultra lounge bath in a lot of my homes.

    I play mostly in this world:
    Starlight Shores

    I enjoy this style of build the most:
    I enjoy Mediterranean, Modern/contemporary, Victorian, Neoclassical, and Colonial/Georgian styles.

    I really don't want this in my game:
    I really don't like ranch styled homes, at all.

    I would like lots of the following sizes:

    30x30-50x50. 20x20 or below is also fine. :)

    I enjoy/don't enjoy berry, occult sims, etc:
    I don't enjoy berry sims. The occult sims I do enjoy are mermaids. (I actually love mermaids, hint hint.)

    I would/would not enjoy pets in the household:

    No pets.

    Other~
    I really really really love detailed and extensive landscaping. I rarely ever play with homes that are more than four bedrooms. Although I like large homes, I don't like large spaces. I prefer everything be filled in/decorated/cozy. I refuse to put CC into my game, so please understand this. I also enjoy community lots, and would absolutely love a cafe/bar/club/etc. I also love nerd hangouts, and comic book shops/arcades. Also now that I've got Into The Future + Oasis Landing, I could use some more lots/sims to use in Oasis Landing. :)

    Here is my letter! :D Looking forward to finding out who my buddy is :mrgreen:

    Form~

    Username:
    XxHannelorexX

    Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs I have installed:

    - I own every Expansion Pack
    - I own High End Loft Stuff, Master Suite Stuff, and Town Life Stuff

    I have the following Store Content:

    If it's okay, I have a link to a document where I keep an ongoing list of what store content I own :) If necessary, I can edit this post and copy/paste the details from it into this post.

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JMPjBiU4RzFKRyzeKpVFzRGL0W6VPO_VIrA4LcXjkyA/edit?usp=sharing

    I haven't listed any of the single items that I own (except for premium content), but I own quite a bit of fully completed compilations and sets, so whatever you might want to use is probably fine :)

    I have the following Worlds:

    - All Expansion Packs worlds
    - Dragon Valley (retail, which appears to include Celtic Lands)
    - Hidden Springs
    - Lucky Palms (standard)
    - Lunar Lakes
    - Midnight Hollow (gold- including exclusive items)
    - Monte Vista
    - Sunlit Tides (standard)
    - Riverview

    Some of my favorite Colors are:

    - Blue, red, pink, orange, yellow, green
    - Blue and red are my favourites, but I love just about every colour, albeit in different themes and contexts :)

    I really don't like this Color:

    - Nothing really :) If it fits a theme/just looks nice, than I don't have a problem with any particular colour. Use whatever you want, for whatever purpose you want ^_^

    I love to use this set:

    - Nothing particular- it really depends on what I want to create :) I do have a particular fondness for anything with a cottage-like style

    I play mostly in this world:

    - Mostly in Hidden Springs :)

    I enjoy this style of build the most:

    - I have a special fondness for cute builds, like country cottages
    - Farm themes are lovely, and a house with use of a greenhouse and the tractor would be nice :) Just a general country theme is one of my favourites though :)
    - I also like Victorian themed builds a lot
    - Modern styles are great too
    - Basically anything except steampunk.

    I really don't want this in my game:

    - Preferably no steampunk themes :)

    I would like lots of the following sizes:

    - Anything from whatever the smallest lot is to whatever the biggest lot is :) It depends on what is on the lot. For example, if it's a country cottage, I'd rather not have it on the biggest lot, unless most of it is landscaping :)
    I just love houses of any type and size because the more choice my simmies have in where to live, the better :mrgreen:
    - I would also love any custom community lots, particular smaller ones so I can better fit them into worlds :)

    I enjoy/don't enjoy berry, occult sims, etc.

    - Neutral towards berry sims (I don't think I have ever had one, so it might be fun to try it out once!)
    - LOVE FAIRIES! (You might be able to tell from my avatar :lol: )
    - Haven't tried werewolf, but am not particularly keen on them
    - Vampires okay but am not overly fond of them, unless they had a particularly interesting personality.
    - Haven't tried genie or plantsim, but would definitely like to at some stage :) They look fun!
    - Mermaids would be neat too :)

    I would/would not enjoy pets in the household

    - My households tend to be either strictly filled with pets, or strictly filled with only people, but I have wanted to get more use out of pets, so yes to pets :) Love the cute factor! It would be nice to have some pets ^_^ I'm not very good at creating pets, so I would love to have some nice pets! Cats, dogs, or horses :D

    Other~ (Describe here anything that you would really like.)

    - Pretty much anything! I just love having new stuff to put into my game :) I'm sure that I will love whatever you make! :D
    - Young adult males would be nice, as I tend to start off with a female and then have them marry a townie :) Although sims in general with interesting backstories/ personalities always loved as I tend to make similar sims :lol:
    - Recolours always loved :D Recolours of anything and everything, but I have a particular excitement when I see recoloured rugs/mats because I have so much trouble designing the patterns for those myself ^^;
    - Any kind of build would be lovely, as I am a beginner builder :) Community lots would be nice.
    - I'd like to think that I'm pretty easy to please :wink: I like nearly everything. I have pretty broad tastes :)

    One thing is I am taking a break between when we check to study for my AP Exam and End of the Year Exam's so would it be fine if I can email you around the check in dates? Also my gift might be a little late since Ill be studying a lot. :)

    Wishing you efficient studying times and success on your exams :D

    Yes, please feel free to email me for your Check-In updates (as needed).

    On gifting, how late? End of gifting period? Not a problem.
    After? As soon as you know for sure regarding late delivery whether end of gifting time or after, please let me know - email me on this, too - and I can let your person know their gift is coming, just a little late while still maintaining secrecy of who you're going to be gifting.

    Hope this answered everything you asked about. :-)
