Cheap Gift Ideas

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:49:48 +0000

It's never too early to start setting aside gifts for the next holiday...especially if you plan on making gifts because the economy is still sluggish.

I've been reading lots of ideas from Pinterest and things, there are LOTS of great craft ideas out there, and if you have a bottle of Mod Podge and a little scrapbook paper or if you have ANY sewing skills whatsoever, there are LOTS of gifts that are WELL within the normal "not all that crafty" person's capability, too.

I'm still growing my craft board, but I have a LOT of ideas up there already.

Some forum clean-up, etc.

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:10:18 +0000

I took a few hours this afternoon and did some much-needed clean-up and maintenance. I also rearranged things ever so slightly. I don't think enough posts get made in the Sideboard for discussion of expansion and stuff packs to justify a section for each one so I moved all the threads from those areas to the most suitable other places (general topics on expansions to the Coffee Table, tech questions to the Library, etc.) then deactivated the Sideboard.

LoserInc hasn't logged in since October so I moved her stuff to the Peddler's Wagon and I deactivated her section. Should she return and want her creations back in her section that can happen with a few mouse clicks.

I posted in reply to Pary's request thread but will add it here as well: I've installed a mod that allows uploading of multiple files at once instead of having to upload them individually. It only accepts up to five files at a time and you'll want to make sure to click the "Update Attachment" button before posting the thread because that starts the uploading process.

I was also going to upgrade the forum software but I ran out of time before I could do that so that'll have to wait until I can get to it.

Sky Diving Rabbithole - 20x20

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:01:39 +0000

This is the Sky Diving Rabbithole available for free at The TS3 Store with the new Renault/Focus set. It is on a small 20x20 lot to make it easy to add to any neighborhood. I figured that this happens to be one of the few rabbitholes that could be placed off road, so I used the smallest lot I could that would fit the building. I could not resist putting the Mushroom tree from the last update as it so looked like parachutes to me (in a way). I hope you enjoy.

Custom Sim request?

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:16:54 +0000

Hello! I've been trying to make a Sim of my sister and her bf for her birthday but I can't seem to get it right- I'm still working on Sim-ifying real people so they look exactly right! I stumbled upon this forum and was wondering if anyone could make Sims using these pictures?

These are the best pics I could get of them (it's a surprise!), please let me know if you need something more and I will do my best to get it to you!

THANK YOU in advance! ^_^

Can you combine Ambition Lots?

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:00:55 +0000

I am wanting to combine the Consignment shop, Salon, Tattoo parlor and Laundromat onto one lot in SSV, will this work? Has anyone tried it? If you have what happens to the map tags?

I didn't want to build a huge strip shopping center for all of these only to find out it messes up using these lots in some way.
Thanks.

Sunset Valley Mirabello & Main Replacement

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:30:48 +0000

After remodeling Mirabello Plaza and removing the Theater, I found a solution. I remodeled Mirabello & Main to include both the Diner and the Theater. So the two lots combined have 7 rabbitholes covered and will free up 3 lots in the neighborhood.

Sunset Valley Old Pier Replacement

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:24:43 +0000

Many of us downloaded the free Ford vehicle a while back that came with the sky diving rabbithole. Well All I did was edit the existing Old Pier Beach lot to make room for it.

you must have the Sky Diving lot from The Sims 3 Store

Sunset Valley City Hall Replacement

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:49:34 +0000

This was a minor edit to place the multi-rabbithole so the City Hall, Police Department and Military are all on one lot. Needless to say it goes where the current city hall is now. Once place you can bulldoze both the police station and the Military base, giving you 2 more lots.

I suggest placing the Plumbob Studio lot where the Military base used to be, it actually fits nice and the runway and space shuttle look like part of the back lot for the studio.

Sunset Valley Science Center Replacement

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:43:07 +0000

This lot goes in place of the current Science Center. The lot now has both the Science Center and Hospital in one. Once placed you can bulldoze the Hospital lot to make way for something else.

Sunset Valley Mirabello Plaza Replacement

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:39:56 +0000

This lot was built to replace Mirabello Plaza in Sunset Valley. It has Grocery, Bookstore, Spa, Steakhouse and Business Center. Once placed you can bulldoze, the Spa, the Bistro and Doo Peas. You will need to add a Theater lot to your town though. I love how it looks like just about any small town main street.

Sookielee_MirabelloPlaza.7z (Size: 320.03 KB / Downloads: 18)

Mirabello & Main adds the Theater to the Diner lot. With both of these lots in your neighborhood, you can free up 3 lots total.

Sunset Valley School/Stadium Replacement

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:34:16 +0000

Valley School and Stadium was built to replace the school in Sunset Valley. This way you can bulldoze the stadium lot to make room for something else.

Sim Request

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:43:20 +0000

Hey hey all, How's it going!

I was doing some searched online trying to find a website / Forum / Group where i could request a specific sim to be made and this one popped up so i thought i would give it a try.

I have tried myself, spent hours fiddling and tweaking, and searching for similar custom makeup, hairs, eyes etc, have numerous slider mods installed and skintones to try and make my sim model look like the real model, but gawds, I just cant seem to get it looking right. And i know there are people out there that just seem to have a talent to making sims look perfect!

As a note, Im pretty picky about things so if you have the patience and time to try this out for me i would totally appreciate it.

Ive managed to find a few profile pics of the model i want cloned, and ill post them up here if this thread appears to get any kind of interest.

Thanks all in advance!

Changing Sea Levels

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:27:03 +0000

Okay, I read in the guidelines of the CAW and evidentily I am not doing the changing of the sea level right. When I click on it, it either takes all of the water out or just lowers it a little. Is there something I am not doing right? How do you all do that? I want to change the sea level as it is way too high for my land mass. Thanks, Judy

Becoming a more active member

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:27:40 +0000

Hi, all. I am not really a new mwmber to this site. I have been a member here since before Sims 3 was even released. I just haven't been very active. I was lurking around yesterday and decided to enter the February build challenge, so I guess I should re-introduce myself. As you can tell from my user name, I am Dini60, and I use the same name on the EA forum and on TS3CC. I like to build mostly, but I really don't have a lot of creations in my Studio at EA. I also play around with CAW and I have learned a lot from my association with Auntie Lynds at TS3CC and here. Anyway, enough about me. How are you all doing these days?
