@AlphaFen: Oh, another nice starter for Ciane! That's such a pretty studio home. What a great starter for a single Sim who might want to be a bit of a loner. I love the pond and the bridge. A few fish spawners, and a Sim can be self-sufficient. :)
@Tanubanue: Salty Springs Resort is clean and CC free! :smiley: While I've never had a Sim run a resort (so probably will never get those achievements - I'm just not interested in the headache of running one), I do often plop one into a world and have my Sim(s) visit them. They can be a fun break for a Sim, even when it's on the Sim's homeworld. :) That one looks like it would go great in LP. Hm... you've made several nice lots for LP now, and Ciane made that casino, so maybe it's time to start another LP game again. :) I really love the name "No Tell Motel". What a great name for a seedy motel in the wrong part of town! ;)
@ciane: The Sea Dog is clean and CC free! :smiley: Which I'm sure you already knew. :) If I didn't know that you always build without CC, I wouldn't believe it, looking at your pictures of this houseboat. You find ways to recolor things so that they look completely different from the original. What ARE those dining chairs? I LOVE your recolouring of them, whatever they are! They look great!
Question: I've noticed that houseboats tend to be small. Is this a requirement? Can a houseboat be made to be, say, 64x64? Or is there some limitation that makes this not very workable? Not that I would make one that big, but I'm just wondering if it's actually possible.
@tanubanue: OMG THOSE KITTENS ARE ADORABLE! :heart: :heart: :heart: It's absolutely awesome about the colour/tail switch with them. Oh man! I wish there were a way to upload just those cats, but I'm not really sure it is.
@MoonAndStars83: Yay! Hurray! (Wish there were a fireworks emote on the forums) It's awesome that it's finally clean and downloadable! Woohoo! This house will look great in Moonlight Falls; it exactly fits that theme. :) Oh, and that kitten picture is absolutely adorable. But then I've always been an absolute s.uc.ker for kittens. :)
@ciane: Uh... I hadn't actually thought about the library files when making a new The Sims 3 folder. D'oh! Yeah, that would be another thing someone would want to copy back; you wouldn't want to lose all your builds and downloaded builds. (Copying them back is safe since CC won't stick to library builds, but will instead give you the "Some objects could not be loaded and were replaced" message.)
@CatDog123: Oh. Oh my. Oh my goodness. What a BEAUTIFUL build! It's things like this that give me something to wish for in my own building. You make such BEAUTIFUL lots that fit my own playstyle exactly. Yeah, I know you didn't build this for me, but you might as well have! It is absolutely, positively Gorgeous! :heart: Hidden Springs is one of my favorite worlds (love all the fairy tale references), so I know I will play this one at some point!
@Mmdrgntobldrgn: You did this WITHOUT CFE? Man... I'm astounded! I love the fountain effect coming out of the troll's mouth - made me laugh! You made your own fountain! :) The stairs going up to the roof don't use any CFE? Wow! I love your use of the Skylight roof pieces! I always love builds that use the various glass roof pieces effectively. The way you have the hill going right up to the front door definitely makes it feel like a hobbit hole. It's amazing how you have the roof coming right out of the ground. This is definitely one build I'm going to use, and probably pick apart at some point to learn from it. :) What's the difference between Lady E's Off Grid Homestead, and Wade Potential Home? They look similar; is the second one a stripped down version of the first, or something? Oh my, about the fire! Yeah, I had that once happen in testing, and after that I made sure to fireproof all fireplaces in uploads to the Exchange! :D

@ciane While normally I would do that, some of the .Sims3packs I have don't show up correctly in the launcher when I reinstall them (i.e., they show up as CC instead of Store content), so I would actually like a freshly downloaded install of my stuff for the inevitable day I have to transfer everything to a new computer. Thank you, though.
This happens to me too, but copying the .ebc files directly (bypassing the reinstall through the launcher of the Sims3packs) SHOULD solve this problem.

@tanubanue lol, No Tell Motel! Love it! And love how you were able to turn that lot into something useful, since I usually just bulldoze it! (Think the most exciting thing I ever did with it was surround it with a fence, lock 8 sims in there, turn on the free will, and see how much trouble they could get into. Was actually pretty entertaining!)
/\ THIS! I so have to try that!
Heheh! Me too! :D That sounds like a LOT of fun! Be most amusing doing an asylum challenge that way.

@Catdog123: You've got some Sim making skills m'dear! You can always tell how much love and care you take into making them! I love the Emberwoods and I am really diggin' their family back story! Oooh, oooh, Clara's formal dress? Where is it from? I luuuuurve what you did with it! Rec-a-roo!
That's one of my favorites, too. I love it because of the lacy sleeves. :) It's called
Ace of Lace, and it comes with
Romanza Ceremony + Attire.
