Old, Archived Dead Threads Graveyard

BeosBoxBoy does some great things.

I have his coffee cup with different states of fill. That means the coffee cup is full, half full, and almost empty. The coffee also comes black or with cream.

I got this other download of his called, 20 Wastes Of Time. It's a pack of cigarettes with an ashtray. T$R actually took it down. But, I got it before they did.

And then, I have the BodyBuilder and SlimBodyBuilder meshes. Him and Marvine literally changed the way I play my game. Thanks to them, I can never play a normal looking Sim again. They look too skinny!!!

Sugah, I'll have to hunt down that MYOS hair.......The cafe pictures are in his kitchen. I may change that..

I have a post over at BPS asking where I can find that program. When it gets answered, I'll give you the link.

Cute sim. I like how you've started her out with humble beginnings. It will be neat to see where she goes from here.

That's the nice thing about sim's home. It's so much easier, less work and expense, to experiment with styles and redecorate than in real life. ;)

Hey Ed, I was on the RockChickSims site and saw these nice outfits (at least I think so) for the slim BB. I know you like that body type so I thought I would let you know. Check out the everyday outfits here and the business suits here. Let me know what you think.

Well, I've been trying to build a little bungalow to add to our real estate section here.
I've been rather behind in building new Sims abodes, since it's most certainly not my strength creating-wise.



How I wish I did not struggle with roofs and floor plans so! Andrew, where are you when I need you?

Anyhoo, I'm hoping it will be finished by Tuesday pm or Wednesday morn, as I'd like to do a little mid-week update.
I'm going to load up my game tonight, if possible, to try and apply some of Ulli's suggestions and finish the inside.

If you haven't checked out Ulli's Guide to Better Landscaping in our Sims Schmoozathon area, you really should.
There are some great screenshots and tips there. I've already learned a lot. ;)

Thank you for the links.

I grabbed them.

If I'm going to have beefcakes like Sal and Vinnie in my hood, I'd better spiff up my slim and regular bodybuilder wardrobes, huh?
I need to check out that link, too, Elle.
Normally, my Sims don't change their wardrobes up much, but it's good to have a few options.

I am really liking that color and Ulli is doing wonders with the surrounding land. Looking good!

Neen (RockChickSims) makes a lot of nice clothes, especially formal, but she one of those weird categorizers . She also has some good build and buy mode recolors.

Thank you so much em! i will post more pics of karens life soon ;)

^ So true!

Ok i have done some clothing recolours for a friend of mine, let me knows what you all think!








I hope you all like and please do let me know what you think all comments are welcome if you think there is something to improve let me know ;)

Those are really cute! I like them!

Great little house sugah!

I love the blue house with the pink trees the colours work really well together. Though i think the pink trees in the back ground kind of distract from the main work a little.

Building is not my main strong point but im working on improving my little lots!

And nice landscaping, big thanks to ulli's help!

^ *blushes!* thanks very much em, im so glad you like my dresses here!

Big hugs!

Cute, Cally! I especially like the first black and white flowered one and the pretty pink one and blue one.
Is that a Maxis hair? I don't have it in my game, so if it's NOT a Maxis, I'd love to know where you found it.

Good job and thank you for sharing.

Get a load of this bed.......







I had it in my game and didn't even know it. The surrounding bed and headboard takes on the properties of the bedding. The base comes in the three colors: Black, white and birch. I'm going to make a cherrywood base.

It's from 4ESF donation set.

UGH! You're not talking about the kind of creator who does a lovely set of PJs, but it's in formal wear, everyday and swimsuits, etc., etc., too? Are you, Elle?
That sort of thing is so annoying to me, as you know. Must...be...organized...

That's wild, Ed! It definitely works better with some bedding than others, doesn't it?
I think the blue striped and beige neutral look best. What do you think?

(This reminds me. I've been wanting to do some bedding sets for one of my next updates...)

That's an awesome bed Ed.

Are you going to be doing something in the way of downloads??

If somebody was asking me if I was going to make some recolor of that bed, I'll do it. Just give me some other colors to work wih.

Now for my escapades!

Look who was cruising the neighborhood........


Look who he meets!


And the best part..........



I finally moved TJ into his house. I actually sat here for a couple of hours and played.

If anybody was curious. So far, TJ and Charles have two bolts. They just became friends. Their turn-on's are each other. Black hair, brown hair, facial hair and muscles. (I think). Their birthsigns are the same as they've always been. That will never change. Aspiration is, knowledge, for both of them.

Now that Ed has introduced us to the Wardrobe Wrangler, however, it's not much of an issue.

I am ashamed to say I am not quite sure how to work the dang program yet, Elle.
I need to read the pdf file, bit by bit, as I'm a technically challenged person.
It took me forever to learn my way around SimPE and there's still probably more I should know about the program.

...and then, when you least expect it, pow, a nightgown as an evening gown. Go figure!

If I am remember correctly, it is up to the creator to click the appropriate clothing category buttons before saving the ensemble.
Hunter could confirm this, of course.
We start out in a certain category, say pjs. Then, before we save, we can click on any or all of the others.
I can see if a pair of undies would work as pjs, too...stuff like that.
Or perhaps, if we had a certain, very glamorous Sim who wouldn't be caught dead in jeans and a t-shirt, so her everyday wear would consist only of evening gowns.
But under normal circumstances, I don't like finding workout clothing in my formal wear or skivvys in my everyday wear.

We, of course, are on the same page with this one, Elle. It's one of the many clubs we've started, isn't it?
If only I could have my brain functioning well enough to figure out Wardrobe Wrangler, I'd be in good shape.

Oooooh...Ed!
Sal is sooo scrumptious. I really need to load up my game this weekend and just play.
Hubby is headed for upper NY state for a few days, so I'll have the place to myself for awhile. I could have a Simming marathon if I wanted to!

Did you keep his name Sal in your game? Or have you changed it?

TJ and Charles are lookin' good, as always. What's that gray shirt on TJ?
Is there something on the front. The ensemble looks spiffy from the back.

Thank you for sharing Edward's Escapades with us, as always.

Thank you, ladies. I appreciate the feedback mucho, as always.

That is my concern, too, Cally.
I think, when I am ready to take pics for the update, I will get rid of the redbud trees temporarily in that part of the hood.
They DO distract from the lot, don't they?

Ditto! I'm trying to improve my building and landscaping skills.
I have a hard time with blue prints and don't know enough building tricks and secrets to replicate houses I see online that I like, unfortunately.

I'm about to load up my game and see if I can apply some of Ulli's lessons to this little cottage's grounds, sooo...
stay tuned!

Yes, I kept him as Sal. I about fell over when I saw him stroll by. I forgot I still had him in the game.

There's nothing on the front of his outfit. It's pretty plain. If I can remember what it's called, I'll send it to you. It does have a white t-shirt underneath the jacket/shirt.....I think.

About the only other thing I have to do is, get Vittorine moved into a house. Michael has already chatted with her over the phone. I got Christan Luv's phone hack. I can call and/or invite people over even if they're in the neighborhood bin......I love it! Charles doesn't even live in a house. TJ just called and invited him over. And, there he was!

Thank you for the lovely reply sugah, always very much appriciated! Im really glad you like the dresses my favourites are 3,4 and the last one, personal preference you gotta love the uniqueness!
I think the hair comes with seasons im about 95% positive but if anyone knows different feel free to help here! I will have a proper check when i go in game tomorrow ;)

My honest streak is going to win out here as for me they do, the house is so lovely but the first thing i saw was those pink trees in the background, which are very nice and must make the neighbourhood look lovely and colourful in the picture, but for me they do distract from the main attraction.

It's always great to hear people are trying to improve aspects of there simming, for me it shows we are all individuals with different strenghts and weaknesses! My landscaping skills are def better than my building skills personally, im not the best in the simming world but my gardens (i think) look loved and lived in!

Yay!!! Looking forward to seeing your work sugah!

Waits patiently...

....sort of!

I like them too!
The first black and white is cute and the green one of course. And the...and ...

Well done!

Perhaps someone else with the Seasons EP could verify whether that hair came with it?
Anyone?
