Well as I appear to be reasonably solvent so far this month I can finally support Pes' Awesomeness.  This makes me feel unnaturally warm inside.

That is disturbing as all get out.  I've been watching Y&R since I was 10 6 and can't bring myself to watch B&B.

You don't always get perfection from 457 year olds.  I finna work on dat fo sho.

*is smug that she is a yankee that speaks correct southern*

You could also reset the Sim.  Gunther Goth does this on a regular basis for me.

(Yes I know, the Goths.  Never played them in the first 2 games, I'm working through them this go round.)

This.

I'm sort of enjoying them too.  The ghost babbies/chilluns are annoying me with the whole ghost sounds instead of regular voices.  I also find myself yelling at the ghostie teen who freaks out at her ghostie little brother.  Really?  Have you looked in a mirror lately?

They stand and walk like they're going to a gunfight at the OK Corral.   It reminds me of Yul Brenner's character in "Futureworld".

The only mini game I like is exploring the catacombs in the graveyard.  I've gotten all my gnomes there (which btw is a hilarious addition), some of the rare seeds and some weird rock.  Plus I enjoy seeing my simself come out fried when it's been particularly traumatic.  She's gone in there so many times I think I've gotten all the scenarios multiple times.  

The key word in that article is "laziness".  After playing this entire weekend I have to agree. 

I feel like I've been forced to dumb down and fit into my spawn's console world or play one of the RPGs I have.  The sims move like little robot people (what is WITH that stance they have when standing still?), have little to no personality and building stuff is painful.  I think I hate the speed problem more than anything in this POS.

I do like being able to follow them as they move from one lot to the other, color customization and the interactions with the ghosts.  I'm determined to get a ghost baby for which the Son of Perdition's self-sim has graciously agreed to take one for the team to provide.  After that I see myself going back to TS2 to fulfill my goddess complex.

As a Sims player since day 1 I feel like I've been bent over and fucked in the ass with no reach around.

Speaking of which - your personal pudding is sitting on my desktop waiting anxiously for me to load this damn game when I get home and put you through your paces.

Dear jeebus can payday get here so I can add this.

This.

I just can't get past how ugly they are.  Aside from that and a few other concerns folks have expressed, it does look like it's at least worth a free trial and I've been chained to the brand since the beginning so resistance is futile.  However, the ugly really is killing my must have it NAO drive normally associated with the Sims.

Please more screen shots.  Maybe the ugly will grow on me.

Damn ya'll are talented.  I have to try the Death to Emma lot this weekend.  I really like the apartment concept with that one.

Everyone is doing far better than me.  This one is frustrating and I'm trying not to steal incorporate the things I see here.

I can't seem to settle on something I like with this one this month.  I dunno, we'll see.

@Bliss - yoinked all of them, I can't say anything else but I liked each one.  The apartment was best as I can't seem to do really workable apartments.  Thanks for that.

@crunk - I like that roof over the bay windows.

@loripanori - nice exterior color scheme on the first.  Cool modern look on the second.  It reminds me of some of the 70s houses here in the States.

Strangel - I have nfc why I've never thought of doing the dog house like that.  When I have one I always put it in the backyard.  Reminds me of Mob Rule.

@Emma - that's almost too regal for that itty-bitty lot.

*slips Tingeling another unauthorized cookie

@twooflower - WIN!  Yoinked!  Loving the complete rustic theme/color scheme.

@SalixTree - yoinked just because it's Salix.  No, for real I like the whimsy.  I want a whimsical neighborhood (although I'm far too anal retentive to actually make one) so I'll hold it until I can create one.  I miss the old Salix avatar though.

@pbox - WIN!  I'd live there m'self.

@Anebrd - yep, good for a lower, lower class family or a Fortune Sim that needs to be punished with poverty.

@Kyna - Those are among THE BEST windows EA has come up with yet.  I love how orderly it all is.

Ooh! Someone else's interpretation of modern!  Yoinks!

*slips Tingeling an unauthorized cookie

Me too, Bliss.  Will work in a vacation hood I need to upgrade.
*grumbles and moves on to second idea for the damn lot now*

@ Isil - not bad for a medieval player    I'm a sucker for full window levels/towers.

@ theresatv - are there any "ZOMG there's weather in my house" issues with the roofs like that?

@ Faizah - that reminds me of some beach houses I've stayed in.  But it confirms one idea I had for the place.

@ mistyk - WHOA!  Very pretty!  I really like the exterior wallcovering, I can't ever get the logs to look right. 

@ eaglezero - extending the front out the way you did gives it a completely different look as does the color scheme.

@ Borkedforlife - institutional I don't do well so that's pretty cool.  I could use that for other scenarios.

Yoinking all.

You do know that I had already thought of a way around that particular cruelty, right?  Life as an AIDE to the Overlord of Hell and an axe murderess demands quick thinking  

I might try a community lot on this one.

You really are freakin' evil.

I would ask if we can change the foundation to the brick one instead of the lattice-work one.

The cabin would be very cool.  I've enjoyed redoing that one over the years.


No truer words.

Completely illegal and ineligible offering as it is bloated with custom content.  Contains the little garden I posted awhile ago.  Directly inspired by SalixTree and eaglezero.  I have had no internet access at home for over a week (*throws firebomb at Verizon) but will tomorrow (*cheers to Comcast).  Will upload actual house file then and edit this post if anyone is interested.  More pics can be found here http://s410.photobucket.com/albums/pp188/originalhalf/Jan%2009%20House%20of%20Phail%20Custom/

@mrowcat - like the stone, I have trouble mixing it with other materials on the exterior.  I like the formality of your foyer, very upscale.

@Cucumberpie - primary colors ftw!  Cool working balcony on the front.  Sucks the lot is the way it is and the play stuff has to be in front.


@jim - eaglezero, leaths and of course Salix inspired this garden with cc stuff - my poor attempt at indoor-ish cottage-y.
