You couldn't contain your excitement any longer, could you Tanu and Addy?
Though, I'm assuming it also has to do with some of our European friends needing to gift a little earlier.
May have had something to do with that, aye .
And just to be difficult, I walked out of the hospital and went home for the weekend today. WHY on eeeearth do they want me inthere today, if they are just gonna have me lounging around until Monday before doing any of their tests? DERP! :evil:
On the plusside, I get to BE here and SEE all these amazing gifts land live. Squeee!
Those are some beautiful recolors, Skymyst.
Really pretty and I know how hard they are to make! Ten thumbs up and heh, I can't wait to see what Hannelore says when she sees them!
I may have also stolen your gift... It is similar to my lovely house from illusie, and they'll go great together I think
I just now went back and looked at the gifts, and your right they would look cute together.......I don't mind if you steal my gift, just as long as you don't mind me stealing yours
We have a deal, my friend!
I'v been checking them BOTH out in game, and illusie's build was SO amazing I'm enjoying it so much! they do look good together as well, although it did take me a little while to work out Dolphine HADN'T intentionally put a fridge and a stove in the washing up area
/picture snipped
Hahahahaha!
I am guessing that is what happens when your game replaces store items that you don't own with other similar, yet random items? Not seen that happen before, so I am having a good laugh here. It IS actually a washer and a dryer I have put there, just so there's no confusion! *falls over laughing*
Haha yes exactly! :XD: I don't have the store washer and dryer, LOL! So we got this little kitchen on the side of the living room
Hooray! Potterphyle - I am happy to reveal that I am your buddy. Your gifts are waiting here. Unfortunately, something went wrong with the exchange - so I was unable to post your last gift. As soon as I am able, I'll add your gift there. I'm sorry.
I am in love. I want to adopt your cat and those AMAZING LOOKING creatures in that picture! :shock: :oops:.
And the cottage is just awww, pure adorable with adorable on.
Potterphyle is gonna squee from now until newyears over these gifts!
DolphineQ
It feels like my birthday!!
Thank you for the baker family!!
and carly the beagle is sooooooo cute!!
I used to have a beagle when I was little girl!
I am horrible at making sims and pets, So this family is perfect!!!!
Thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!!!!
I play in Sunlit Tides a lot and since it’s a world you like as well I decided to build your gifts in that world. I have really enjoyed building for you Ciane, I hope you like them.
I threw all the photos in one photobucket file. Uploading photos is the bane of my life; which is why I haven’t attempted story telling yet.
Oh my word, fission, I don't even know where to begin...
Your builds are amazing. Nothing less. I especially love Castaway Cove, but I AM gonna borrow all of these pretties!
Heh, I'm gonna need a new world for all the gifts that I am napping .
I have seen you around the forums and now I this exchange gave me the chance to create something for you. I hope you like it! You mentioned how you loved porches. That made me think of victorian houses, and that is why I created a victorian house for you.
{hugs}
Name lot: Madame Violet Lot size: 30x40 Description: This painted lady is from the Victorian Era, but has got a few modern touches. It has got a pretty garden where you can enjoy your free time. The house has got a living room, dining room, kitchen and play area, a master bedroom with crib, a girls and a boys bedroom, 3 bathrooms, and an attic. As a bonus there is a cellar with a library, inventing room and science room. For YellowJane. Download link:http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8218140 Slideshow:http://illusie.weebly.com/madam-violet.html
Oooh Lusie, you have outdone yourself! That is the cutest little painted lady I have ever seen... and I don't even like purple! :shock:
Another build that will also find a home in my games .

I agree Hehehehehe but then I would, wouldn't I!? It's an amazing build!
Hi, Jojo. It was great fun making this community lot for you. I might not have coded it as a gym. I might just have chosen hang out. The sims loved the basketball, rock climbing, massage, sauna, and pool. I don't think anyone used the actual gym equipment of boring weights or running machine. If you have technophobes, you might want to delete the television. Sims do love to turn on the t.v.
I included this night shot because I didn't have room for it in the upload pictures:
/picture snipped.
The advertising says, "Get slim and stay trim at JJs Jym!" :thumbup:
Have a happy, happy day.
Also, I asked Tanu to CUSTARD check this earlier because I know you absolutely don't want any cc sneaking in. I also checked in the men's hair sections (facial, body, and regular) to make sure there was no funky icon on the regular image. And I moved all my dccache files temporarily out to go through the one file that cc files go into. So I deleted any old left-overs from past uploads and downloads there as well as deleted all the dcbackup files (except of course ccmerged).

Oi, what an awesome little gym, Ciane!
And it really impressed me that you can read the simlish signs, I have still not learned .
HUGE thumbs up from here! *hugs*
I cannot tell you how excited I was that you were my buddy!!! I made a separate thread for you because there were a ton of pictures!!! I hope you like it!!!
Tanu and Addy!!! Thank you so much for hosting the aMAYzing Homemade Gift Exchange!
Everyone's gifts have really been incredible, and I look forward to seeing the later ones, too!!
Yay!
Idontrcall, that was an amazing gift! Your pictures had me laughing, the facial expressions were just so... so lifelike! And that little cottage is adorable. It looks like a cute little bright spot to live in!
Your buddy for the exchange is Mystik1978! Mystik had emailed me early on that a family emergency had happened and she was needed to go take care of family members. I felt that I didn't want to take her out of the exchange. She and I have been emailing and she will plan on making you a gift as soon as she is able to. In the meantime I told her I would make you gifts.
As a side note to the person who has Mystik for your buddy I will let her know when your gift to her is posted and she will make every effort to stop by the thread.
Ok Skymyst ~
Since you like occult sims your first gift is Talon ~ an immortal Vampire ~
I'm your Secret Buddy ^_^ How lucky are you!? *lol* I posted my gifts for you in a seperate thread. There are 2, and I really hope you like them! Stop by here:
OH MY WORD!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, woooooow!
Such a nice pile of yummy males, all for me? :oops: I feel so spoiled, my girls are gonna LOVE this! Horatio and Will were the first two to catch my eyes, but dayum dude, they are ALL hotties! Can my girls have more than one of them each? :twisted:
And the Palm Hideaway is perfect!
The colors are just soooo me and I have never before owned a house with a hidden pool area. The kitchen balcony is awesome with the pizza oven, I can just imagine my sim coming back from a swim, only to smell freshly baked pizza...
THANK you so much, sweetie, I love it all! .
It contains:
- four bedrooms (incl. one nursery)
- a music room (with piano)
- a kitchen
- four bathrooms
- a family room
- a pool (shaped like Prof. Layton's car)
- a garage with one car and a not yet finished oldtimer (son and dad activity?)
Exchange picture:
/picture snipped.
Enjoy your gift!
What a lovely Victorian, Erja!
I have no idea how you managed to fit all those rooms in it, I really applaud that.
Another build that I must have for my collection!
I am in love. I want to adopt your cat and those AMAZING LOOKING creatures in that picture! :shock: :oops:.
And the cottage is just awww, pure adorable with adorable on.
Potterphyle is gonna squee from now until newyears over these gifts!
Aren't they the cutest?! Thank you very much, Dolphine. ^_^
Jumping in here now to say that I spent all morning rec'ing up to here. I'll try to get to your individual uploads to comment there too, but I make no promises.
Dayshatw, I love your poem for CSIMSIE! Left you more comments on your thread.
Sky, I love the way you set up a thread for yours. Nice! I left you comments there.
To say that I like them would be the understatement of the year. I LOVE each one of them! And I cannot wait to play in all of them! Thank you so, so much. Please do follow the link for a much better thank you.
illusie, what a gorgeous Victorian with a lovely bridge and so much to do! Love the wrap around porches and varied wall papers and windows. Love the rocker on the porch, the gazebo, and the outdoor seating! Love the layout and the ground-floor nursery. (No carrying little ones up and down stairs all the time!) Great floors. Awesome fireplace. And I love that you added a science room.
Thank you, Tanu for the nice comment, the CUSTARD check, the gifts for SkyMyst, and running this amayzing exchange with Addie! (Thank you to Addie for all the work you've done with organization, bumping, CUSTARD checking, and tracking!)
DolphineQ, I know I commented in your creative corner thread already, but awesome build! And I loved the family with beagle and home as well!
Happy Anniversary Mcsnjb! So close to your birthday too! That's the way hubby's is, but his follows Christmas and comes just before New Years and our anniversary. It's kind of a shame that we celebrate so much all at once instead of spreading it out more.
Lala, great family and home! Left you a little note on your thread too.
Tanu, love the vamp and his lair! I see you are still working on the story, but I love it so far. The lot is awesome and the underground home perfect for a vamp. I love that he is a musician and looking for love. He is really hunky for a vamp too!
YJ, commented on your thread too! Great fun - six single sims and a new lot!
Yay, Jojo! Thank you! The RH Sims loved it in my world, so hopefully, they'll use it a lot in yours.
Erja, Nice - another victorian with a gorgeous wrap-around porch and a separate garage! Love it!
CSIMSIE - What a great looking mansion! Love it! (Commented on your thread too!)... And, re: Illusie's gift to your and a small kitchen off the living area - that is always a plus! ; }
Angel, Wow! You have been busy! LOVE all the Sims and left you a note on your thread.
Brivenes - Great cabin! Love the area and all the wood, the pond, the layout, and the colors!
CSIMSIE, your Dragosion Mansion is really beautiful. So stately, so regal looking and with so much space inside!
I think it'll fit very nicely in Dragon Valley, great job!
I cannot tell you how excited I was that you were my buddy!!! I made a separate thread for you because there were a ton of pictures!!! I hope you like it!!!
Tanu and Addy!!! Thank you so much for hosting the aMAYzing Homemade Gift Exchange!
Everyone's gifts have really been incredible, and I look forward to seeing the later ones, too!!
I cant wait to get it in my game!
/gift snipped, sadly
this is me right now
LOL! Oooh bri, your gif made me laugh. I LOOOOVE that movie, she is such a tomboy (and reminds me a bit *cough LOT! cough* of myself when I was younger!
And I am thrilled that you like Ebony & Ivory.
I did try to make the interiors soft and subdued, as a contrast to the very dramatic exterior color scheme.
Remember, if there's something in my gifts that you don't own, put it on your WL and send me a mail (in my About Me) to tell me which items they are and I'll make sure you get them asap! *hugs*.
HI EVERYONE!! I TRUST YOU ARE ALL HAVING FUN?? I TRULY HOPE SO BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT!!
A HUGE THANK YOU TO ADDY!! SHE IS THE MOST WONDERFUL PARTNER I COULD ASK FOR AND WE ARE BOTH SO THRILLED TO BE SEEING YOU ALL RUNNING AROUND GIFTING, GETTING, AND SNAGGING!!
I JUST GOT HOME FROM AN APPOINTMENT (HOW DARE IT INTERFERE WITH THIS???) AND GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE THINGS I DIDN'T BEFORE I LEFT. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED UP UNTIL HERE AND I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU ALL A BUNCH OF REC'S I'VE ALSO PUT LITTLE STARS ON THE PAPER I KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING ON OF ALL THE GIFTS TO REMIND ME THAT SOME JUST NEED TO TAKE A TUMBLE STRAIGHT INTO MY GAME! BY SOME I MEAN ALL, LOL
