Emma, that's a lovely lot. Very crisp & visually cooling, a great piece of archecture for the desert. It's a little plant-heavy for my tastes, though.

That's true, but macro/socialise/unfriendly is the model of efficiency when it comes to making enemies. Disallowing it makes the user need to manipulate the interactions themselves, allowing room for error.

Personally, I'd get sims to keep hitting on sims that aren't remotely interested. That's a surefire way to make enemies.

To make it harder, no macro/socialise/unfriendly, and you must use a no jealousy hack.

That should make it somewhat of a challenge.

Also, sim must end game in platinum aspiration to win challenge.

I appreciate all the feedback. To be honest, I'm biting down hard on the urge to redownload that merged hood just so I can pop Coral & Herb Oldie in there & watch them go at it. I kind of had them in mind when I made it.

Aw, you noticed me! Have a bobble hat!

I don't really think that the diagonality of couches really matters so much when the original lot is terrain-wrecking FAIL! If it matter so much, change them to suit your own needs when you download it. I promise not to get in a snit about it.

Gran's Kitschy Cottage

$105,120 - Beware, this lot was made from the original, terrain-wrecking lot. If you have the lot explander thingery and the motivation to fix things, I'd love a non-terrain-fucking version of this lot. Otherwise, download at your peril.





The kids have moved out & have kids of their own, and that holiday to Twikki Island sure gave Gran some fun decorating ideas, so when Pa said he wanted to turn the basement into a den, she decided to throw in a bar to compliment his growing model railroad. She continued the theme outside, turning the barbecue area into an oasis-themed garden with water feature.






Puss, the geriatric kitty that helped raise the kids now lives in the warm sunny spot under the window outside Gran's sewing room, where she makes toys & bobble-hats for the grandkids.








Much of the orignal house retains the same charm it had when Gran decorated it as a newlywed, much to Pa's delight. There's nothing like the warming glow of the radiation king as you balance your tv dinner on your knees & watch Sale of the Century.

Made with love & the following EPs & SPs: TS2 Holiday Edition, Uni, NL, OFB, FFS, GLS, Pets, Seasons, BV, FT.

Like Kyna, this house was my very first exposure to TS2. It was also my first building project. It drove me so nuts that I moved half of my family out & the game popped up with 'would you like to put these sims in the sim bin'. Of course I didn't want to throw them out, so I said no, and then I couldn't find them (gee, I wonder why! ) and I got so upset it was another two years before I played Strangetown again.

This is also the house that made me very aware that sims can't scooch across the bed & get very cranky about having only one side of the double bed accessable in that horribly narrow basement.

So far it's taken me four and a half hours, and I'm still not done. I'm going to bed.


*ETA omission due to fatigue.

I keep it in because I have zombie apocalypse & my hood has a strict "no rez pls" rule. Once you're dead, you're dead. Unless, of course, you become differently alive by abduction, prank, or wish fulfilment.

So, I guess the only way that the zombie apocalypse will start is if someone gets a bad roll on their abduction.

No, it doesn't. I used all three together for a long while before I dumped inteen.

This alien abduction mod is working perfectly fine with FT. Plus it is made of awesome.

I can has buboes?

Oh, that is evil. I'm borrowing that idea!

It's a basic accomodation, the res lot roundhouses tend to be a little different on the inside. I felt that the floor dividers gave privacy without throwing architectural accuracy out the window.

I'm not joking about that hearth, btw. It's cloned from a grill. I have firemod, so it's useful in training up sims to be fire-fighting experts from a very young age.

A roundhouse training comm lot & a roman villa dormatory for your amusement.

The latest insim has an option to turn off the electricity AND the water. Fun!

As somewhat of an art snob, I can't thank you enough for these recolours. They are very well executed, and a very welcome addition to my game.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

For my current hood, I did up great grandparents, grandparents & parents (4 of each gen) as throwaways in cas, all with different genetics. I've had skintones, eyecolours & hair colours from all of these throwaways show up in the first generation of born-in-game sims.

I'm very pleased. My little biodiversity experiment worked.

But that's what a portable hole is. Someone here needs to bone up on her AD&D rules.


I know I'm a little late to reply here  - sorry, life (and a weekend away) comes first.

Oh, come on, everyone knows sims each have their own portable hole!

You know that if you right-click on the selected sim you can follow them without having to do the scrolly thing, right?

Yeah, but simpe scares the crapcakes out of me.

Those are quite lovely, and if you're a big fan of Shadowrun, then they are absolutely perfect for Bugs. Pity about the flashing blue problem though.

Eventually. The ones I took were craptacular even by my standards, and after 9 hours of making that thing, I wanted a break. lol. I swear it's more drama to gut & remodel than it is to start anew.

ETA: Kitsch Heaven now with bonus floorplans. And yes, the closet in the nursery is designed for bat boxes.

Thanks.

Kitsch Heaven:

Price:$111,184
Bedrooms: 3-4 + nursery
EPs & SPs: Uni, NL OFB, FFS, GLS, Pets, Seasons, BV, FT.
Favourite EP/SP: You'll figure it out.

This lot hasn't been playtested, since I just finished it. The kitchen is lockable, and since the only access upstairs is from the nursery which adjoins the kitchen, nobody's going anywhere you don't want them to. This includes the three toilets. Expect bitching from guests.










ETA: Zomg floorplans!
