What terrain is that? – the first two pics look a lot more orange than the curiousB one I use and blend into the horizon a little better.

I’m using the default Maxis terrain, which looks AMAZING in hood view, but unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired from lot view (which I’m pretty sure is where I took the third picture). Could also definitely be my .psd that makes it look more orange, though. 🙂

It looks great! That sky is amazing and such a good idea to place that nasa hood deco in strange town 😀

Thank you! The sky is by @dramallamadingdang and I’m pretty sure it was destined to be used with Strangetown. 😀

AHHHHH I SAW THEM WITH RISE AGAINST TOO! It was my senior year as well LMAO so we must have seen them on the same tour! 😀 And honestly I wouldn’t do 99.9% of the cool things I do if not for my boyfriend, he’s the concert junkie and he’s always able to get us tickets for things!

lmao oh nooooo! At least you don’t have that problem anymore (right???). In my apartment, I think I’m the noisy one hahaha. Not that I make an exceptional amount of noise, but our walls are really thin and my landlord goes to bed super early – so sometimes if I get carried away listening to music or watching TV with the volume up a bit too high, I hear the broom banging on the ceiling LMAO

But there IS Kraftwerk! That makes everything better. 🙂

Yes! Kraftwerk is amazing! I saw them in D.C. during their Kraftwerk 3D tour last year and it was so much fun. I wasn’t sure what to expect (also I don’t really care for most things in 3D) but it was a super cool audio/visual experience. 🙂 I hope they do another show soon (and preferably a little closer to home – I love traveling to new cities, but I can’t always go a couple hundred miles out of the way for a show :)).

I so hope me and mr biffy will be able to see them when they do dates over here D: and I can’t believe you’ve never seen morrissey with his flower pocket before. One of our friends commandeered some of of wedding flowers at our evening reception and danced like Moz all night ❤

Yessss, it’s all thanks to my boyfriend! We both tried for tickets when they went on sale last week and I got completely shut out. D: He has amazing luck with tickets, I really don’t know how he does it. I hope you’re able to see them over there! They just keep getting better and better. When we saw them last summer, they played “Let Down” for the first time in ten years and I CRIED. :3

And omg I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on the Moz flower pocket! Your reception must have been a blast 😀 ❤

Ahhhhhhh thank you! I try! ❤ At least, that’s what I visualize the suburbs to be like, lmao. My boyfriend lives in a suburb so I take a lot of ideas from his neighborhood. The inspiration for the urban area comes from my neighborhood. ;D I guess I’m privy to the best of both? 😀

Replies, part 1!

In which I spend a lot of time rambling about color preferences. 😀

sue-simaddict-tblr-blog answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Yes there’s a few colours I dispose of imediately I thought it was just Me 😡

Nope, definitely not just you! Looks like we all do it. 🙂

ant0nink0 answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

ah , i love pastels , but i was playing with realistic things before , so i delete them everytime i see them … and this is why my townies are corrupted … i hate NEON . those bright colors ..i hate them

Aw yeah, I’m not too big on neon. I actually like most neon colors, but they have to be used in moderation (like accents or trim or something). I can’t use entire walls or couches in bright neon colors, it hurts my eyes. 😛

illykitty answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Any neons or super saturated colours like the blue screen mentioned. Anything else is fine. If I could make my own palette, I’d make my colours muted and dusty.

Ooh, I think you should definitely try your hand at making a palette! I love dusty and muted colors, so I’d be interested in seeing it. 😀

allisas answered your question“Anyone else do this?”

Yep, as alienpod named it: the missing-mesh-flashing-blue (or blue-screen-of-death-blue) will never be tolerated in my game. It gives me the creeps. 😛

Yes! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that one. Which is a shame, because I like that color in real life. Seeing it on my screen, however, is a different story. 😛 

eulaliasims answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Same, I don’t use a lot of bright shades. That pink and purple get tossed, and usually anything yellow or orange goes too (I love a good gold or burnt orange, tho).

Yes! I’m a big fan of orange and yellow, but I’m pretty particular about the shades. I love gold/mustard yellows and burnt oranges, though. 😀 (Those are two of my favorite shades to wear in real life, too!)

sullivanrandomness answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Yes, there is a shade of purple that I refer to as bright/dark purple. It burns my eyes and I immediately get rid of anything in that colour!

I’m pretty sure I know exactly which shade you’re thinking of, and I toss that one, too! 🙂

ajaysims answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

I hadn’t really thought about it before, but I do tend to delete dark green stuff x.x generally if there’s a whole bunch of colours I restrict myself to one of black, white, brown, red, orange, yellow, light green, turquoise, light blue, purple, pink

Oooh, I love dark green! :3 But I find that it doesn’t always translate well in CC (especially furniture), so I wind up getting rid of it, too. It’s smart to limit yourself to certain colors – if I weren’t so indecisive and forever changing my palette preferences, I’d try to do that, too!

discombobulatedmirrortron answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

i’m the opposite in that i keep all my purple items, aha. i delete too light pastels myself, or dark earth tones

Hahah, that’s what’s so cool about the community! Everyone has such different color preferences. When I see people like @lilithpleasant or @dirk-dreamer use pink, purple, and pastels in their decorating, I always tell myself I should give it another try! But then I get in-game and hate everything I do and fall back into the same color schemes, lmao. 

alienpod answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

periwinkle is the worst, but that missing-mesh-flashing-blue is a close second

YES! ANOTHER PERIWINKLE HATER! I thought it was just me, like honestly I see that color everywhere and I thought I was weird for not liking it. Like, it’s not eye-searingly bright, it even looks like a relaxing color, but I just hate it?! And of course, missing-mesh-flashing-blue! How could I forget?

vampireprincessmaria answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

I hate certain shades of purple and turquoise. Unfortunately I do like light, bright AND dark colours, so there’s far too much stuff in my Downloads folder.

Hahaha, I’m sure there’s too much in mine too! A lot of times it depends on the CC, some clothing/furniture/deco looks better in bright colors, and some looks better in darker colors. For example, I tend to use darker/muted colors for my build mode stuff, like walls and floors. But I don’t mind some bright colors in my bodyshop folder or decorating. 🙂 

soo-bee-well answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

I’m like this too. I always discard pastels, most neons, all oranges, browns and yellow-ish shades of green. >.<

I love orange, brown, and green in real life, but I’m pretty picky about the shades I used in my TS2 game. At least we know we have some semblance of self-control over our downloads folder – we can cull the colors we don’t like! 😛

holleyberry answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

That neon green. It hurts my eyes. Also that bright pink can go. I like pastels, but not bright, or neon colors.

Oh God, yes, that neon green! I don’t know how some people are able to use such bright color palettes in their games. A lot of the colors are pretty, sure, but my eyes! They burn! I sometimes wonder if it’s just my monitor, or I’m just getting old and my eyes can’t handle these things, haha.
