Finally. I think I have the entire Community Space done. I just want to do some testing on it before I upload it - but, since I also finished painting the inside of the house shell and giving them the most generic and abysmal starting furniture possible, I'm actually ready to save a backup on this save and get playing!! (I think..) I uploaded the house shell for my Plan B house with my "starter" stuff in it, but it's easy to place unfurnished and just get the shell. It's on the Gallery
here for all you guys who hate building. :smile:
Meanwhile: Two things.. one, I'm going to post some "starter info" on my challenge on my blog site this afternoon, and link it here when it's done. Will include pictures of my builds for it, as well as my plans for getting to 100 generations. The other things is:
I need an opinion from you guys. I know this topic has been picture central (and I LOVE it!), but would anyone be opposed to me putting my pictures on my blog and linking to the posts there? It would be easier for me to do it that way, and I definitely will be putting pics/story on my blog because.. well, I blog for me so I can remember the challenges I've done - I like keeping the records for myself. However, if you guys would rather have the pictures here, I can take the extra time each time and insert the pictures into my update posts here as well as having them on my blog.
Last thing: replies to you guys:
@Heckstress17 You don't need fancy programs to do pictures and stuff. - I'm going to make a totally embarrassing admission: I do 99% of my picture-work in MS Paint. Yep, you heard me. MS PAINT. Including that "fancy" signature graphic I made. (Although it needs updating, and I'm dreading doing it.. lol.) I basically just crop/copy/paste whatever I'm doing and save it as a jpg then upload it to my wordpress.
@Wentcrazy Your English is great. I never would have guessed it's not your native language! I have many Simming friends who don't have English as a first language, and often they have better grammar than I do. Do not be worrying about messing up, I for one will not think less of you for it! Also, I'm 99% sure that it's 50 posts to start posting pictures.
@JordanNicoleJJ omg I can't wait to see updates! You're brave to play so far ahead - I find I forget what I take pictures for if I play more than a day or two in advance of posting, so I try to avoid it.
@Francisca464 Welcome!! Join in with playing while you have a spark of interest! It's always good to come "home" to playing sims after a long break. I'm sure you'll get back into it in no time! Congrats on getting all the new packs and stuff, there's been some good ones lately.
@OJenn Great job on all your work on this challenge! I don't have a huge amount of spare time with all the stuff I have planned for my blog coming up, but if you need any help progressing with this challenge - making sims/lot shells, whatever, send me a PM and let me know what I can do to help! I'm far better at building than making Sims with good genetics, but if it would help, I'd be willing to give it a try!
@Mionax OMG the twins are so cute!! And your black and white kitchen looks so tidy and compact while still remaining completely usable. :smiley: You're doing great on the build so far! (And Ley Line trait?? I'm going to start thinking you're as insane as I am!)
