This is a clever houseplan!

Thank you! Although I can’t take credit for it, I feel good knowing this layout has been approved by the architect extraordinaire! 😉

the fall decor on the door is gorgeous

Thank you! Veranka was sweet enough to take on my request to convert it a few years ago. 😀

Such a cute kitchen! ��

Hmmm mind borrowing it? 😉

Thank you! Feel free to borrow it, it’s not like I came up with it or anything. 😉 (Even if I did, you could borrow that too!)

I love it! Like a perfect amount of rustic!

Ahhh thank you! I’ve been on a rustic kick lately (something about the fall makes me want to make everything look rustic and cozy!). Sometimes I wish I went the rustic look with my own apartment, but then I remember I like mid-century modern, too. 😛

EA removed securom from The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, there’s a post about it on SimsVIP.

Yep, I mentioned it in my post! I didn’t run the update myself since I’ve already removed SecuROM and run the game without going through Origin, but I made a point of mentioning that although the update removes SecuROM, some people were forced to do complete reinstalls or reset their graphics rules because Origin automatically ran the update before people could make proper backups. Again, not too familiar with what happened since I didn’t perform the Origin update myself, just mentioning what I saw some people on my dash talking about. 🙂

That’s funny because i use way too much purple and avoid orange like the plaque.

Haha, orange is quite a polarizing color! Maybe I’m more drawn to it because I’m in an autumn sort of mood. 😛 I’m not a fan of pastel colors in general, which is why I usually stay away from pinks/purples/lavender/periwinkle/etc., but I like deep purple shades, like plum. 🙂

I only just started syncing seasons, myself. It never bothered me before, either, but I kind of like it. 🙂 (Also, it’s good to have you back, dear. 🙂 )

Thank you! It’s good to be back. 😀 Hopefully I remember to keep up with the season-syncing, I feel like it’ll make the neighborhood feel more cohesive (even though everything was just fine before, too :P).

I think it looks lovely �� the shots seems to have a colder tone than your recent posts but that could just be the in game lighting tbh ��

Thank you dear! I think it is in the in-game lighting because a lot of my later screenshots are much warmer, but we’ll see when the weather/seasons change if the lighting updates with it! 😉

I’m on 11GB and about 30 minutes of loading time, high five!

WOOOO loading time twins! *high five* why are we like this

Some replies!

Still have quite a few more to get around to, but it’s a start. 😀 Paging @blissful-indigo, @holleyberry, @alienpod, @mswn, @littleblondesim, and @kayleigh-83!

replied to your post “Do you struggle to pay rent living in NY, even with a good salary…”

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I feel you. Just relocated to Seattle and am living in a micro-studio apartment because rent is absurd here, too. Not quite as bad as NYC and San Francisco, but not much better.

littleblondesim replied to your post “Do you struggle to pay rent living in NY, even with a good salary…”

I loved this little tidbit. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Oh, of course! ❤ Thank you for reading (even though I have an extreme tendency to ramble). Tori, I can only imagine. D: I can only speak for NYC because that’s all I know (aside from college, this is the first time I’d be living on my own – heck, my family’s been in the same apartment since before I was born!) so I really have no idea about the housing/rental market elsewhere. But I’m sure it’s the same in a lot of major cities. It’s the (literal) price we pay for convenience and/or opportunities. :

replied to your post “Oh my WCIF are those light up hood buildings? I have Aurora Skies…”

Can I say I was hoping eventually someone would put all those links in one place 😛

Heheh, much obliged. 😉 I hope I didn’t miss any! I’m waaaaay overdue for updating my resource list, anyway, so this was a good start.

I had to empty out an apartment building I liked cause it got glitchy :/ it was a small building with no elevator, just stairs, but then they couldn’t use the stairs!! Whenever I played Sims on the upper floor I’d have to use cheats to move them up and down the stairs, including dogs going to do their business -_-

UGH it makes me so sad that apartments in TS2 are so glitchy because I really love the concept (especially since I live in one myself!). I love the social aspect of it and how perfect it is for single Sims and couples – but then stuff like this happens and before you know it EVERYONE GETS A HOUSE because I’m fed up. 😐

I LOVE it!!!! that little patio deck!!!! It’s the perfect place to have friends over for drinks and so quaint aaaaaaahhhhh. I’m in love! I can’t blame you for loving it so much too.

Thank you!! I based it off of a floor plan I found and it had that cute little dining patio, and I thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to use those awning pieces I’ve had floating around in my DL folder forever. ❤ My Sims seem to like it, too – the NEVER eat in their gorgeous dining room, nooooo. Always outside, no matter what the weather. 😛

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “The new Mahoney-Fox residence (well, Fox residence, as Evelyn took…”

The pergola is fabulous. 🙂

Thank you! 🙂 I’m glad it worked out. It’s one of those CC items I’ve had forever and kept telling myself “well, I might need it someday,” so I’m glad that day finally arrived. ;D

“Yes, yes, yes, I know you’re being electrocuted, but dirty dishes wait for no one!”

Hahaha, I know we say it all the time, but Sim logic never fails to amuse me! 🙂 

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “Besides it being way too small for two adults, a dog, and a newborn,…”

That always happens. All you have to do is turn on moveobjects and delete them, then they won’t reappear. You have to do it when you’re playing each playable household in the building. Pain in the ass, but at least it’s fixable. 🙂

Aha! Good to know. 🙂 I was afraid my neighborhood was becoming corrupted or one of my apartment mods was causing this nonsense. I feel much calmer and more prepared for the next time I decide to play an apartment building. 😉

eulaliasims replied to your photoset “Oh yeah, then the trash compactor went on fire. YUP, DEFINITELY TIME…”

Yeah, I’m pretty sure this apartment lot is cursed.

Hahah, yeeeeeaaaahh… I’m just going to let that lot sit there unoccupied for awhile until I figure out what to do with it. I don’t think I could risk sending another family to live there. 😛

eulaliasims replied to your photoset “Some more graveyard pictures because I moved the urns of the dead…”

It looks even lovelier in autumn colors! ❤

Thank you so much! ❤

thats some dedication wow

touchmypixels replied to your photo “Gotta give the landlord credit, though – he still tried to fix that…”

dedication

I can say with certainty that he is the best landlord I’ve had in my game! 🙂 For starters, he didn’t hang around sniffing the flowerbeds all day and harass my Sims over the phone constantly. 😉 This trash compactor debacle just sealed the deal!

soloriya replied to your photoset “Some more graveyard pictures because I moved the urns of the dead…”

oh no!

fuzzyspork replied to your photoset “Oh yeah, then the trash compactor went on fire. YUP, DEFINITELY TIME…”

:O

I guess I can’t say my neighborhood is lacking in excitement. 😉 Although I must concur with you that this apartment is cursed – even for the Sims, there were just a few too many unfortunate events occurring all at once. ;D

Aw, gotta love those eye popping toddler/pet squidges.

:O :O :O :O That’s freaking beautiful. I might possibly at some point end up copying it VERY closely in my game when I’m lacking inspiration. Hehehe…

Hehehe, go for it! 😀 Honestly, the majority of my decorating lately has been the result of me having a vague concept/style in mind, and then just searching google images for ideas. 😀 

The chandelier is by Veranka HERE.

And the rug can be found HERE! 😀

this is so pretty, I really love it! You did a great job! All the trees around it really give it some kind of great ambiance i think

THANK YOU DEAR 😀 ❤ For some reason I just couldn’t build a cemetery and not use the willow trees. They have that sort of haunted, overgrown beauty? 😀

One thing I love about Tumblr compared to when I used LJ is not having to worry about my picture sizes at all, Tumblr just takes care of that for you and it’s sooo handy!! I don’t miss that!

Ah, I missed this comment in my LJ replies post! Oh well. 😛 But yes, you’re absolutely right! As much as I complain about tumblr, I didn’t realize how easy we had it, with the photo resizing and the themes and being able to edit only certain parts of the CSS if need be. Definitely a lot more customization- and photo-friendly!

When I’m adding new stuff I always run it through now. Got a good routine. Sort stuff into folders, rename the files using Renamer, then compressorize, then transfer to Downloads folder into correct sub folders. Wheee

Ahhhh this is such a good idea! I’m terribly lazy and unorganized and just stick everything straight into my downloads folder (it’s a miracle my game hasn’t exploded yet), but I want to try to be more meticulous about it. “Try” being the operative word. 😛

omg Dustin had an Arrow binge when he returned from Korea, except it was only what’s on Netflix and he was already in s3 by the time i was paying attention, so now i have the most random knowledge of things but nothing from pres3 and not even really who is who it’s awful i need a proper watch myself lmaoooo (I’m so behind on the Flash tho GAH)

Ahh you should definitely watch it! Seasons 1 and 2 were definitely the best so far, 3 was pretty good, I haven’t finished 4 yet but it’s mehhhh. I’m behind on Flash and Legends and Supergirl too. x_x I have so much free time and yet never enough LMAO.

Whats the compressorize?

As per the program page here: it’s a program that “will allow you to compress package files in your downloads folder to smaller, more manageable sizes, freeing up space. (Thus making room for even MORE downloads for you download junkies!) On some computers, it also speeds up load time.” 🙂

Hello! I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the hair styles on your elders (the male and female) on your post of Charlie’s birthday! And as a bonus if it’s not too much trouble, the elder lady’s cute cat eye glasses? Your Sims are just too adorable <3

Awww, thank you! ❤ Of course! 

Sheila’s hair is by @whattheskell​ over HERE (I don’t think Sheila’s regular hair was available for elders, which is why I changed it 😐 either that or I broke something during my retexturing adventures!). Alfred’s is an elder version of his normal hair by @selenaq13​ HERE. 😀 

And you can find Sheila’s glasses right HERE! 🙂 Enjoy!
