hi! sorry if this is overly vague, but in some of your pictures (like the hive exterior pics), there are some decently higher res looking neighborhood deco buildings? just wondering wcif them! ty

Hi hi! The taller high-res buildings surrounding The Hive are actually Maxis hood deco from the Nightlife EP. 🙂 This includes the skyscraper, the building with the little balconies that lights up at night, and also another square one that looks like an office building. 

As for other high-res hood deco, Delonariel has a lot of great 3t2 rabbithole conversions, such as the ones here. You can see in the screenshots HERE how clear they are from a nearby lot view. 🙂 

I’m actually planning to make a resource page for hood deco soon, since I get a lot of questions pertaining to it. But I hope this helps you for now! 🙂

Hi! I absolutely adore your Sycomore Cove lots!!! I have been searching desperately to find nice Community Lots for Sims 2 everywhere. Are you planning to upload all your lots?!?!?!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment. 😀 I have a few uploaded already! 

I don’t mind sharing community lots, although there are a couple I won’t share (such as the boardwalk, because beach lots are so finicky when placed into a different neighborhood). I’ve also been asked about sharing Surrey Hall, the dormitory at Windham University, but it’s absolutely massive and chock-full of CC. Maybe in the future I could uploaded a smaller/simpler version. 🙂

Other than that, I’m open to suggestions for lots to be uploaded, although I will warn that I’m very slow about actually doing it. D: Most of my community lots are very CC-heavy. I try to cull as much unnecessary content as possible while keeping the basic look of the lot intact. I also try to hunt down master meshes wherever possible (some of my earlier lots are missing the master meshes in the upload and I’d like to fix this in the future!). So for a very cluttered lot, this could take awhile. I’ve had some lovely people request Lucy’s Diner and also the Oakwood Biergarten, and I’ve yet to upload either of them. :X

TL;DR – Yes, I’m open to uploading lots, although it’s not always feasible for certain ones. Feel free to request any, although I can’t guarantee it will be uploaded in a timely manner. ^^;

Hey Fi! I’m wanting to start a new hood and actually love it. Any advice as far as anything goes?

Hi there! Do you mean advice for playing a hood and not getting bored with it? 😡 That’s going to depend a lot on you as an individual player. Some people like to play a single family (legacy-style), I prefer to play in rounds. If I could go back and start my neighborhood over, though, I’d like to play it as a proper BaCC and follow a structured rule set (or at least play in a more structured way than I do now XD). I built my neighborhood from scratch, but I basically added new families or townies or community lots whenever I felt like it. A BaCC rule set usually has limitations in place for when you can build a community lot or add new Sims, which paces the gameplay a bit more. At the same time, you don’t want to abide by any challenge or rule set that makes playing a chore! It is a game, after all, and it’s supposed to be fun. So find a general gameplay style that fits you – legacy, rotations, asylum challenge, etc. – and tweak the rules as you see fit! 

I hope this helps a bit. I may have misunderstood the question so if you wanted my advice on something more specific, feel free to message me again! :3

Would you ever consider selling your downloads folder? I love your cc and would totes pay to have it available in my game.

Uh, whoa. People do this? D: I’m sorry, but I’ve answered in the past why I won’t share my downloads folder. I especially couldn’t ever accept money for it when all of these creations are the work of other people – I only downloaded them and unzipped them into my own game folder. 

Again, I’m more than happy to answer WCIFs for anything you see in my screenshots. My resources page is a WIP but I have quite a few links in there, as well. I’m sorry I couldn’t help, anon.Â
