    Your farm looks great @Kaela_87 <3 So glad it worked for you finally. I was so frustrated myself yesterday copying the links and embedding the images only to have the message disappear. Not fun!

    I don't know about you guys, but I wish I had the Monte Vista oven in my house, I would love to just reach in and pull out a lasagna or fresh baked bread in a flash! :yum:
    I now Own the Store!!...Thank you to everyone who helped me get here <3

    I have never had any of my posts have to wait for approval :/ That is very strange.

    I have so many build contest ideas. I'm glad I am not the only one who loves building!

    I always have ideas running through my head on build contest ideas, but I never have the sp to sponsor a contest.
    I thought of starting the Design That Home-Revival up again if I could ever save up the sp to do it. I know a lot of people had fun with it and we all did some amazing builds.

    Oh, I could SO build this....and have my family live in it for generations...but it's part of a build contest I have in mind so I will just hush about the literary houses build contest I have in mind ;)

    And I definitely won't mention the largest most amazing casino/game arcade venue build contest...

    Gah! I've been trying to avoid looking in here but everyones entires are so amazing! I'm plum out of ideas (and that isn't a swear hehe!), my farm is boring so I think I'm going to start it again since I still have a little time before the contest closes. I think part of the problem is, part of me wants to build an industrial looking farm, and part of me wants to build a hobby farm! I'm torn and the creativity well is running dry! If I start watching inspirational shows I'll forget I was going to play the sims and I'll just watch old movies all night... anyhow, I just stepped in to tell you all that you farms are AMAZING! I can't wait to add these builds to my game if that's allowed? @StephSteb I haven't forgotten about your contest! I'm just builders-blocked x3

    Of course, you can add builds. That's why I had people upload them to the exchange :) I plan on adding a few of these myself. I've been working on one (shhhh) that I'm not entering just putzing around with and it's like half log cabin half green gables. Looking up pictures gives inspiration as well. There's still plenty of time, @Ceea <3

    Just stopping by again to let you all know I absolutely love the pics! I just love the farming in Sims3, it just grabs at my heart (and kids stuff)

    @StephSteb, you are doing a wonderful job with this Contest and can't wait to see what other Contest you do (you have some great ideas)

    I want everyone to be a winner, so when the contest nears an end, I will sponsor more so that everyone wins <3 (yeah, I broke down and bought SP's as I can't stand to be without, LOL)

    *hugs to everyone*

    Thank you so very much, @charlotteprice <3 I'm glad you are enjoying the contest. I snuck away to my game today to work on my own frontier myself. Not to enter, just to see what I could do with it. I'll throw up some pics tomorrow if I work on it some more.

    Thank you for being such a generous sponsor! <3 Glitter chocolate cupcakes for you!

    Although I am not entering the contest, I did want to post some pics :) Ema (can't remember her name, LOL) loves working on the old fixer-upper

    She is "neat" so she closes the Murphy Bed up every morning. After a hard day of working the bed gets the best of her!

    Banner (why is it I can remember the horse' name?) loves playing with the ball!

    She should have never started repairing, now she will always be repairing!

    @charlotteprice I love what you did to the house from Appaloosa, you should enter it :) You remade over one of EA's homes and it looks wonderful. I love Banner playing with his exercise ball in the front yard, that is so cute :)

    @djsdragongirl Yes, I remade it. Its a medium size lot and it was a lot of fun making the barn from scratch :D
    I decided to tackle another one on a empty lot and that is a work in progress, LOL. I am starting to like this building stuff, its a lot of fun!

    Question: I always create a Sim and move them into the town and then "edit town" to work on other lots in the town. Now, I was wondering...can I just "edit town when starting a brand new world "without" making the Sim first? It would be nice to work on my town before actually starting it and constantly editing the town :s
    You would think after all these years of playing I would know the answer, but I never really got into building :o

    Yep you sure can! I do it all the time. When I choose a world I go straight into Edit World to build what I need and then do my CAS (create a sim). I find it works much better....but if you make your house over the starting limit you will have to move your sim to a cheaper lot first then use the familyfunds cheat to get them the money to move in.

    @djsdragongirl Oh, I always leave one empty lot and move them in, then motherlode, then move them to a house ( I do that most of the time) I just wasn't sure if I could go in and redo the town "first" without it messing up. I have such bad luck lately with messing things up, LOL

    Right after this contest started, my game messed up and I uninstalled everything....again (it was right after the Origin patch) Now I am re-installing bits as I need/want them ;)

    Question: Where is the clothes line at? I want a washing machine but prefer to hang the clothes out to dry. I am missing it which means I need to install some world or set? Do you remember where it came from?

    Thanks so much for your help

    The clothes line is in the Ambitions.

    Yes @ciane it's all vegan. It also has goat cheese that you can add to it. The egg is a poached egg.

    Thank you so much @djsdragongirl That figures, I was going to avoid installing that one for the time being, but now I guess I will because I have to have that clothesline :o It would go great in the yards of my farms :p

    *hugs*
