Aww shucks, thanks Reg. Yeah, those darned horses turn up in the strangest of places (more about that later) :?
Still, good to know you are enjoying GB. I wanted part of GB to be a Forest Park and a place to get away from the town to fish, have picnics and just relax. Glad you like that aspect of GB. I just love the sounds of running water and birdsong. It does the old heart good.
Tangie, no worries about the laundry basket. If I left it there it would have niggled away at me like some laundry basket terrier biting away at my ankles :wink: You know, I think Mariners Reach was never going to be anyone`s main world, but I think if you use the traveler mod, it kinda comes into it`s own a wee bit. It`s a nice place to visit, and that`s good enough for me.
Yeah, carpools can be so unpredictable as regards where they stop. I thought about this when I was adding lots near corners (always seems odd, at least for me, with lots near street corners?). But, it`s just one of those things. Yes, Matkooskee had it`s fair share of "what are you on?" carpool drivers. Good to hear it`s kind of sorted out now. I love the pics too :D
I sometimes wish horses would just keep themselves up on Mule Ridge and not clog up the town (again, more about that later).
By the way, that bedroom pic...it`s really...blue. I`m terrible at colour co-ordination. This room will be...blue :lol:
Hi Summersong. It`s great to hear you are enjoying GB. Yes, Emerald Falls worked out okay, I was pleased with that one. Could have been a tad larger and maybe allow for a second pool ladder (my sim threw a party there and everybody went for a swim, but two paparazzi stood arguing right where the pool ladder is and a couple of sims came close to drowning :? I detest the Sims 3 paparazzi :evil: ). Nice pics, Summersong. I like it :D
Regards testing the three sets of spiral stairs in GB, just send a sim to the Art Gallery, Curfew and the Gym, make them go to the top floor and then see if they can go down the stairs. It seems some people have issue and some don`t.
I guess there`s not a lot I can do about that when I don`t have issues with those stairs in my game. But you might not have any issues, so before you get rid of the fencing at the top of those stairs, just see if they are functioning correctly.
Okay, those pauses...
I was having a fine old time playing my game until about two and a half weeks in and then one night, BAM...lag central station. It really confused me, so I paused the game when I experienced an eight second lag and went looking through town for trouble. I saw this at the front side of the Hospital and almost instantly knew it was the cause.


HOW did that horse get into THAT position? A tree blocking the way? Yes, of course. Dontcha just love those spawning horses?

Needless to say, the horse was removed and the lag disappeared instantly. So, my advice is...if you experience a certain lag in Great Bear, look out for stuck horses :evil:
Main thing is though, my game is back to playing mostly lag free. I`m a happy bunny again :mrgreen:
BudgieSimBoy, thank you very much. You are very kind :D
Lorenna88, awww...that`s really lovely, much appreciated. Hope Great Bear works out for you. Cheers.
