I have started a new blog to showcase my creations for Sims 3, including single Sims, families, households, Sims with homes, residential lots, community lots, and worlds.

Please visit ~texansky~ creations on WordPress to view details of each creation.

Click the first link below to view each in this discussion on the forums, or the second link to go directly to each on my blog for details, pictures, and download links.

Mobile Home Challenge Entries - I did not add these homes to my ~texansky~ creations blog.
(these homes were created for the Mobile Home Challenge in the Cape Albacore Collaboration. Three winning 10x10 builds will be assigned to the 10x10 lots on Map F. Three winning 15x10 builds will be assigned to the 15x10 lots on Map F.)

Worlds:
Alryne Valley beta 1.2 below - or on ~texansky~ creations

I have worked out the logistics of the menu on ~texansky~ creations. Let me know if any of the menu links fail to work as intended. I'm trying to figure out why my menu is not showing at the top of all of my pages, but I haven't found a fix yet. It works fine in my other blog.

    Fishing Hideaway on ~texansky~ creations


    This home was created for the Cape Albacore Collaboration and is meant to be placed on the 20x30 lot on Map I94 at 94 Blobfish Path. This lot is contoured on a body of water, so it probably will not work in another world.

    Inspiration:
    @fatness1974 on the Sims 3 forums: “I was going for a loner/fisherman shack.” I picked up her idea and ran with it. Great suggestion.

    Fishing Hideaway is a simple one-bedroom, one-bath shack, perfect for the lone fisherman, and is a steal at §13,591. It comes complete with a dock, fishing boat, and an outdoor area for cleaning the catch each day, with a barrel to haul the fish to market. It fits on a 20x30 lot.

    NOTE: The lot on the exchange has the dining table and chairs moved 1/2 square closer to the kitchen counters because when I tested it, my Sim went from the left chair nearest the window and went clear around to the right instead of going left.
