Updating all older lots
I am progressing slowly through all the lots. So far 15 have already been updated and another 8 are now pending update approval. I then have another 8 lots to check for faults and possibly fix. Once that is done all my lots will be as I intended them, finally!
I apologise to anyone who's downloaded the originals with this issue, but I ask that you download the revision to have the proper version. Thanks so far for all your support and downloads. I really appreciate the feedback I get and I am really glad so many of you like my houses <3
Solution found! Hooray!
Thanks to Illiana brainstorming with me it looks like I have found a solution to the terrain level annoyance in some of my lots. I am now going through all of the homes published so far with a fine comb and checking them for anomolies. Hopefully the solution will work for all the lots so I can revise them. My latest five houses/bungalows with this issue are currently pending approval for a revision version. So just sit tight and I will work towards making them all right again!

Frustrated!!
I really can't understand why lately my houses all have lowered terrain. They're not supposed to have it and when I build them they don't, No matter what I do now I have this problem with my houses and I think it makes them look really ugly. I have been trying to solve this problem for the last 3 days, which is why I've not uploaded any new lots. But I can't figure out what it is that is going wrong. It doesn't matter if I use foundations or cheats, it'll still lower the terrein upon (re)placement. I am so frustrated by this problem now that I am considering just giving up building all together, I just don't want to pass this problem on to my downloaders :(
If anyone knows a solution to this problem, PLEASE tell me!!
Migraines slowing progress
I really enjoy making residential lots, but it's been so hot and humid here this week that my migraines have been activing up. With more days of 30 degrees weather on the forecasts I doubt this week will get any better. I am living off my migraine medication, but I can only take so many a week. I like the summer, but anything about 25 degrees in unbearable to me.
So I apologise to people who have been waiting for more new lots, I was hoping to do two-three a day, but at the moment the best I can do is one :(
Also, an oddity I noticed is that for me, when I save my houses to the bin (the newer ones) and place them back into the neighborhood, they lower the lot level and the ground lowers by one "click". I truly hope I am the only one that has this, but if you've downloaded one of my latest homes and have noticed the same thing happening please inform me, I will then look into it further. Also, if you use my homes and don't have this issue, please let me know too, so I won't need to worry that my lots look weird, thanks! :)
Submissions awaiting approval
The last week all my lots went through in 24 hours, from pending to approval to published. But the last two days, no such luck. Perhaps it's just me, or perhaps the people doing this are behind, or maybe the policy has changed, I don't know. At least they havn't been rejected, just still pending. I suppose it's not all bad, when they do get approved there will be a lot of published homes coming out in one go. So far over the last two days I've made 6 homes, probably one more to come today that I am pondering about, so that could turn into 7 houses :)
Thanks to everyone who has commented on my lots so far, I'm really chuffed that so many people are downloading and appreciating my homes! :)
Making houses overshadowing life!
Oh dear, I think I've caught the bug of making residential lots.
The last few days I've made 3-4 homes a day, taking on average only 2 hours to build and completely furnish them. I've set so many pre-content stuff that I can now furnish pretty quickly so that's really good. I just seem to have become addicted to making them for the moment, and just can't stop myself! I find myself sitting at work pondering my next building project and neglecting my duties for my own business, not good! Perhaps I'll set a 3 house limit for myself today. I already made one this morning, but I have to go get ready for work now so I can't make another until later today.
Oh well, I guess I'll just draw up the next one until I have time to build it, haha!
Also one more thing, I'm so glad so many people like the look of my lots, hundreds of downloads so far, makes me feel good :)
My first submissions!
I have been coming to TSR for a long time, probably around two years now, back when I started to play TS2, long after it's official release, I was amazed at what you could download here. I've always been really thankful to all the artists who's work made me enjoy my game even more. Because let's face it, EA's official content is generally old fashioned and somewhat icky.
I hope that before long TS3 will get the same kind of REAL custom content, not like it is now, but with our own sofa's, beds and building objects, I really miss them! For now, I am sticking to housing, and today I have built and funished three that I have submitted earlier. I am just waiting for them to all go through.
Thanks to everyone who's made my game better, I now finally contribute and hope my work makes someone else happy too! :)
