For @didilysims, @eulaliasims, @crystaldollhouse, and @ofgodsandllamas – sorry for the short reply post (I actually have a few more to do) but xkit was throwing a fit every time I tried to add more to this post, so here we go 🙂

Ha ha, I wonder that she can even see the TV through that fight smog!

I know! And it also makes me wonder what’s on television that would be more exciting than the fight occurring in her living room!

Your kitchens are always so cute and detailed! And those windows over the counters look so good! I may have to steal that idea, haha. ;D

Meeep, thank you! I could say the same for you as well. ;D And please, by all means, go for it! Most of my inspiration comes from google imaging “kitchens” at two in the morning, anyway. 😉

That gif is so cute. You get a million gold stars for being so helpful!

Ahhhhh thank you, I try! 🙂 This game has been a part of my life for so many years that I love to help out wherever I can so others can enjoy it too! It especially makes my heart happy to see so many new TS2 players after all these years. 😀

lmaooo at the bench. but also i LOVE THIS KITCHEN? I’m not typically one for white cabinetry but!!!! you made it look so fresh and cozy???? i love it wow

THANK YOU DEAR ❤ I haven’t consciously thought about it but now that you mention it, my last few kitchens have all used white cabinets :O I guess it’s time to branch out! and UGH about the bench, this is why we can’t have nice things lmao

@emeraldfalconsims (sorry for the weird formatting but I’m on mobile and I wanted to reply to your comment) – but YES IT DRIVES ME CRAZY THAT IT’S NOT SHIFTABLE. I wonder if that’s something that can be edited in SimPE? I think I recall seeing a tutorial for making wall hangings shiftable, but I’m not sure if the same applies to wall lamps. Crazy that some wall lamps are shiftable and others aren’t… 😐

I am currently on page 45 of this gorgeous ‘hood, Fi! Loving every second of it, it’s so gorgeous and relaxing to read through chronologically a few minutes every morning while I have my coffee. Major inspiration for what I want Sedona to be like. Thank you for sharing this and for you being you!

So perfect 0_0 Also, I just finished reading through all of Sycamore Cove. So much love ❤ Ah! And where on earth can I find those round stones around the front gardens? :O

;________;  you are literally the sweetest person for saying all of these nice things about my little neighborhood ❤

I can’t tell you how much it means to me (and how happy it makes me to see you posting again AHHHHH I am so excited for Sedona and can’t wait to see how its families evolve!).

The stones are THESE by Windkeeper that I just clump around the flower beds. 🙂 

Thank you again for everything!! ❤

He’s almost certainly a reference to Bob’s Big Boy. :)There’s a Bob in front of all of their restaurants. This is the one in front of Burbank, CA’s: farm3.static.flickr.com…

Aha! There you go. 😀 I’ve never actually seen one of those restaurants before so I didn’t make the connection. But yes, the pose and the plate… it makes sense! 😀

I spent so much time building a church and a reception hall, and re-decorating an outdoor community lot to accommodate weddings, but do I use them? Nooooooo, of course not. 😀

Capable…and with a very stylish hairstyle that didn’t even get messed up in the fight. 🙂

Haha, yes! Now that’s impressive. 😉 I haven’t had many burglaries in the neighborhood – at least not many that I’ve remembered to document – but if I recall correctly, she gets the burglar every time. 🙂

Hahaha, no, I swear! 😀 I was looking for a large painting to use and I remembered that I have all of the amazing Star Wars recolors @biffysims did on the Artig mesh – and who am I to say no to the General? 😉

Lol well, they certainly didn’t want to waste a good day outside.

Good thing they took advantage because whenever I send my Sims to spend a nice day outdoors at the park or the beach, it rains. 😛

You did a much better decorating job than me! Lol XD Did you use cc or is all of it default items?

Oh, I used a fair bit of cc in there. Actually, I think almost everything is cc. 😀 I have about 10 GB of cc, so I’d better use it! 😛

I love your decorating style, it’s not too cluttered and yet still looks very homely and lived-in

Thank you! That’s exactly the look I strive for, so it means a lot to hear you say it. 😀 ❤

replied to your photoset “Clara and Stellan’s living room. ”

That brick wall looks super cool with the decor style. 😀

Thank you my dear! I wasn’t exactly sure where I was going with that room, in terms of a cohesive style, but I pretty much thought the same thing: “Hey, this looks good with the wall, I’m going to keep it.” 😉

oh MAN i need to set up my external again i never reorganized my music on my craptop lmao BUT AAAAHHHH YOUR ANECDOTE ABOUT MCR i’m so jealous you saw them AND TBS!!!! I saw MCR with Rise Against my senior year and it was my first concert ever and i was in love lmao YOU LITERALLY DO SOME OF THE COOLEST THINGS IN YOUR LIFE!

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!

replied to your photo “The Thompsons are a loud and unruly bunch, apparently. D: Audrey…”

IT’S ME AT MY OLD DUPLEX!!!!!!!! (except there was no point to banging on the walls cos it was concrete and only made my fist hurt lmao)

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

replied to your post “Music Meme”

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 :)).

Oh my lawd you’re seeing radiohead again!! 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 😀 ❤

replied to your photo “Progress on the tree-lined, suburban part of town. Xavier and…”

Thank you! ❤ I draw a lot of inspiration from my boyfriend’s neighborhood, because he lives in a nice suburb and I live on a boring city block. 😛

That airplane wallpaper is so cute! I really need to get over my fear of patterned wallpaper. Seriously, I have none in my game because I never use it…

Haha! I have so many downloaded because I love the patterns or because they look so pretty in previews, but I never really use them once I’m in-game. I tend to make the exception for kids’ rooms, though. 😉 Also, clashing patterns everywhere!

I like it when they sit on the toilet, THEN GET UP, then do the Peepee Dance, and THEN pee on the floor. Like, dude! You were ON THE TOILET!

Sim logic at its finest! Although I can’t recall one of mine actually getting off the toilet to do the dance, that’s hilarious. 😛

Glad I’m not the only one who forgets baby names! But at least I have ‘em on a spreadsheet, so I’m not having to open SimPE. 🙂

Aaaaaand this is just one more example of what an incredibly unorganized person I am. 😉 (Really, it’s not like I’d have to manually keep written records of this stuff, it would take a few seconds to document it on a spreadsheet, but alas… I am lazy. :D)

i love this! i love how different it looks from your more urban areas, like it IS straight up suburban and the homes – at least from this glance – look so cozy and homey like lmao this is where you’d see kids playing in the street. so cute!

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? 😀

Thank you! I’m glad you like it! It’s actually not up for download, but I’ve had quite a few requests for it dating back about two years now oh lord and I keep promising to upload it. I’m REALLY going to try to do it soon, I swear!

Heheheh, thank you! I actually have the shells saved in my test hood (the original clean, unoccupied lots). They’re mostly unfurnished but I think they all have landscaping. I’ve been thinking about uploading them. 🙂 I’m also hoping to get some more CC-free builds uploaded, too!

Thank you so much, Didily! ❤ 🙂

I always read all the tags. 🙂 And really. It’s a bathroom. They’re generally functional and not that exciting. Well, except maybe really extravagant master baths, but most houses don’t have those, so yeah. Most of the baths I build are all the same because they’re mostly all 2×3 tiles in size. Not much you can do in that small a space. 🙂 I do like that tiled square deep tub, though. Happen to know where it came from?

Yay for tag-reading! And yeah, I tend to build most of my bathrooms the same size – 2×3 tiles – and they’re always laid out the same way. 😉 It’s funny, because I always find walls or CC that I think would work well for a bathroom, but when it comes down to actually decorating one, I just do the same thing I always do. (I guess the same could be said for any room… I really have to start using all that CC I hoard for just those occasions. :))

The bathtub is a recolor by ZeroDark right HERE. 🙂 (I don’t recall when I started labeling my downloads folders from GoS with exactly what thread they’re in, but it was an excellent decision! So easy to find things if I ever need them again. :D)

Pssst, @rudhira – I think you wanted this one too!

: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! 😀
