Sims 3

Picked up my copy of the Sims 3 yesterday. Had a play last night & I must say the game is cool! I loved being able to walk my sim across the road to the beach or to the pond for some fishing after work.

The only thing I was disappointed with so far, is not being able to follow my sim onto a community lots where they enter a building. I feel stranded being stuck outside, but then watching them "work" might be a bit frustrarting (being out of control).

It's certainly different to build a house in & it sure is going to take some getting used to, but I'm enjoying the challenge... bring on the unlimited simoleon cheats for my sim to upgrade their cabin to a palace!

Hope you're all having fun exploring it too!

Stoneyville Estate - Final Map!!!

I'm currently working on my final map for Stoneyville Estate.

Completed:

* Stoneyville Casino

* Stoneyville Piano Bar & Restaurant

* Stoneyville Exquisite Jeweller

============================

I'm currently working on:

* Stoneyville Vets & Pets

=============================

Still to come/under consideration:

* Nightclub

* Karaoke Lounge

* Luxury Goods Store

=============================

If you have any suggestions or requests... now is the time to speak up.

I'm still planning to create Stoneyville lots, but this is the last map I will be publishing - unless of course I create another neighbourhood & make Map 21 flat! I still have loads I'd like to create.... like a Furniture Store, Country Club, High School, Sorority, Fraternity, Dean's House, Lighthouse etc... so who knows.

I have Sims 3 on order & I'm planning to create for Sims 3 as well. I'd love to keep Stoneyville going, so I'll just wait & see what it's like when it arrives & once we have the tools to share the lots.

Hope you are all well & thank you to everyone for your ongoing support - it means the world to me!!!

In the Hood...

Ah... it's so nice to be back creating again. I seem to have a bit of an obsession with creating new Neighbourhoods at the moment, so please bear with me.

Stoneyville Estate is coming along nicely. Map 10 is nearly finished with a Museum under construction. After that there's just one more lot to build & that map will be complete. There won't be a Map 8 as the only thing on it will be the "Stoneyville Town Square", so just plonk it down in the centre & map 8 is done!

I also have a new Mountain lot on the way - just a little cozy cabin for you to enjoy & I'm also toying with making Stoneyville University as a series of maps... hence the neighbourhood creating!

Thanks to everyone for all the lovely comments on my last Blog. I'd rather regret going, than to have not experienced a trip away with Terry. If nothing else we've proved we can be together 24 hours a day without getting sick of each other... or killing each other!

Take Care....

Love & Hugs....

Renovation Houses

I must admit I love nothing better than creating a totally trashed house for my sims to clean up. So far there are 4 houses:

Stoneyville Estate

Stoneyville Estate is filling up fast.I've been concentrating on completing half finished projects, so there are plenty of new lots on the way. I've finished about 3 quarters of the city & only have these final few to go:

Maps 7, 10, 13, 14, 18, 21

I'm just putting the finishing touches to these maps, so they should all be completed by the end of Feb.

Have fun!

Rock God Challenge

Hey Guys!

I was so stoked to see the Rock God Challenge has been published. I had a lot of fun creating it & Bjorn Singer's house "The Warehouse". I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did creating it!

The Drawing Board...

I so loved building the Stoneyville Gated Community, that I have a couple more projects in the works along the same line. I'm starting work on a Retirement Village & a Trailer Park today, so stay tuned!

250,000 Downloads

Thank you to everyone who has helped me achieve this amazing milestone by downloading my lots & neighbourhoods! It is such a pleasure & a privilege to be able to create & share something I love to do.

GunMod's Camera Mod

I know some of you have been having trouble locating GunMod's Camera Mod, so I thought I'd provide a direct link to the thread so you won't have to go searching for it at Modthesims2.

The Camera mod will allow you to view the entire neighbourhood, right to the edges, so you can use the whole map. Without it you can only view the centre of the map. That's not to say you have to have the mod, I'd suggest trying the neighbourhood without it first & then if you do decide you want to view more, then download the mod.

I use Gunmod's Camera Mod 3.1A & I just use the "Neighborhood Camera" & the "Live Camera" as I find it gives me more scope to take snapshots without having to go into the free camera mode, using the "Tab" button.

Here's a link to the mod: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=97642

Have fun!
