Hi! Just wondering if you have any tips for making an Uberhood? :) And do you have to use SimPE for making all of the relationships and family connections- likewise, how do you get all of the sims from the different neighbourhoods from one neighbourhood to the other?

Hi hi! When I made my uberhood, I basically just followed the instructions in Meetmetotheriver’s post here. I picked Belladonna Cove as my main hood, then downloaded all the other hoods as subhoods (shopping districts). You can mix and match whichever ones you want to create an uberhood to your liking. There’s no need to futz with anything in SimPE – the Sims from different neighborhoods aren’t intended to have any familial connections with each other. Any new relationships will be made after you put your uberhood together and Sims start to appear in neighborhoods other than their own. 😉 But the great thing about Meetme’s templates is that they are clean, fixed versions of the original EAxis neighborhoods. EAxis left quite a few things messed up in our games – borked face templates, memories, family trees, etc. Meetme took the time to fix these things for us. 🙂 So whether you want to build an uberhood or play each neighborhood individually, I’d recommend downloading her templates either way! 

Hopefully this helps you out a bit! If you have any other questions, feel free to send them my way and I’ll see what I can do. 🙂

Hello!! This might be a bit of a vague, broad question but I was wondering where you get your male clothes from? I have a severe lack of them in my game and can never seem to find any that fit to my style. All my males end up wearing a different recolour of the same top by the time they’re adults haha! If you could please point me towards any blogs or downloads I’d be extremely grateful :) Thank you!

Hi hi! I know what you mean, I feel like males have such a limited selection of clothing. 😐 Fortunately, there are some creators who make such nice, practical clothing for males that my poor Sims are able to have some variety in their wardrobes. :3 Here are some of my favorites!

Some of these link to LJs, some link to tumblrs, others are to particular posts. But all of these people have plenty of other creations worth looking at (especially GoS members, in which case I was too lazy to comb through every CiJ/SS/Advent thread…). Hopefully this is a good start for you!! 😀

Hiya! I downloaded some custom neighborhoods and some had bridges. However when I loaded the neighborhoods the bridges didn’t show up. Do you know why? :/

Hey there! I’ve never had this problem before, so I’m not quite sure. : Was the neighborhood decorated at all, or just an empty terrain? It’s possible you may just need to place the bridges yourself. Or if they were custom neighborhood decorations, maybe you need to download the bridges first? (I don’t think I’ve ever seen any custom bridges but I could be wrong??) Ack, I’m sorry I’m not much help. 😦

Has anyone else ever had this problem or could help anon out?

Gah I feel bad now!! If you do decide to upload the furnished version and go through all the work of including the meshes and recolors, bless you and of course thank you for your time ❤️

Noooo, don’t feel bad! D: I really don’t mind doing the work if it means providing a clean upload! In the past I’ve uploaded lots that didn’t include all the master meshes and recolors because I didn’t really know what I was doing, and although I included links to things that didn’t package, I realize this can be quite a hassle (anyone remember “shopping lists” from the good ol’ Sims 1 days?). So I would eventually like to repackage those lots to include said items, and the next lot I upload should hopefully be an all-inclusive package deal! 😉 

Also wcif the long windows in Sheila’s apartment? And can you recommend any empty neighborhoods that are good for building up yourself? :)

Hiya!

The windows in Sheila’s apartment are these AL add-ons by Leefish. 🙂 

As for empty neighborhood terrains, my favorites are by voleste and nimitwinklesims (I’m currently using voleste’s Beetle Fields for Sycamore Cove and Plockton for Windham University). There are some neat ones in the neighborhood tag on MTS and on Trapping Crushes. Blacky’s Sim Zoo has quite a few, and when I had a brief moment of panic in which I thought I would have to restart my whole neighborhood from scratch, I was looking at some by hafiseazale (which I still want to try in the future!).

Hope this helps! 🙂

Wcif the garden edging stuff? :) also this may be a lot to ask but would you ever consider uploading the goth manor (despite the large amounts of cc but I don’t mind it)? :)

I must have just answered a wcif for the garden edging as you were sending this ask! 😛 You can find it in this set here. 🙂 

I’m still very torn about whether or not to upload the mansion – it’s possible to upload a clean version of an inhabited lot – and I know you said you don’t mind the large amount of cc, but I’m very afraid of it breaking someone’s game because the amount of cc is exorbitant. D: (Also, to be honest, I haven’t even finished furnishing the interior yet! Sad, right? :P) 

So at the moment, it’s all still very up in the air – and if I decide to do it, it will probably take a while because I would want to make sure I’ve included all the master meshes and required Maxis recolors that won’t necessarily package with the lot. D: 

In the meantime, though, I posted floor plans here, and you can find all the interior pics (so far) here:

Feel free to WCIF anything you see in there if you want to recreate it in your own game! 🙂
