replied to your post “random shot-in-the-dark plea for help”

Have you looked in SimPe, tried to see how things look there, relationships and all? It sure looks like hood corruption – how it could have happened I don’t know. I doubt it can be fixed, unfortunately.

Heh, I figured as much. :’) I’m not really sure what happened, since I’ve hardly ever touched my uberhood save for a few lot makeovers, but who knows why this game does the things it does? I did open it in SimPE, and even with my minimal knowledge I could tell something is definitely not right lmao. Reinstallation it is, then!

Do you mind if I ask what the floor plan looks…

This looks amazing! Where do you find these floor plans? I’ve tried googling floor plans but they’re just so…difficult looking lol. 😛

Thank you! I don’t use any specific site, I usually just google oddly-specific things (like “three-bedroom craftsman house plans” or “one-floor ranch house plans”) and take it from there. Homeplans.com has a good filter/search feature. 🙂 Of course, once I pick a house plan/exterior I like, I greatly simplify the interior, making it bigger/smaller or more/less boxy, depending on how difficult it would be to recreate. Believe me, I used to hate building from floor plans, but the alternative was coming up with them myself… which I’m also terrible at lmao. So you get used to it! It’s more to provide a starting point, anyway. 🙂

Trying not to fall behind on them this time… and also trying to remember how to mass-reply to things…

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. 😀

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).

replied to your photoset “Welcome, welcome back folks! With this post, my blog is finally…”

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! 😉

replied to your post “I love your game. I would steal your downloads folder if I could ��”

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

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

(How do people respond on tumblr these days? The “reply” option over the comments isn’t appearing for me?) It appears now that I’ve posted my comment. THANKS TUMBLR.

Anyway, @mikexx2, thank you! The tall grey building was built exclusively to house a swanky rooftop bar. 😛 All of the floors inside are completely empty, but I attempted to make the exterior look like an upscale skyscraper. Unfortunately (and I knew this going into the project, but I persevered anyway), it’s tall enough to the point where it’ll be a real pain in the ass to play. 😐 It’s already too tall to take good screenshots without the camera going haywire. But, alas, sometimes I get a building itch that just won’t quit. 😛
