Now you have to tell us what the different colors areas mean…

Hahah, the colors I chose are pretty arbitrary, they don’t really mean anything themselves. But I used them to section off the things I wanted to sort into different collections, like separated plants, pots, Mutske’s add-ons, WFS plants, potted plants, plants in vases, hanging plants… it’s still a work in progress, as the mess on the bottom shows. 😛

Aww, so adorable! ❤ May I ask where you got the dress from?

Of course! It’s by lilithpleasant here. 🙂 

ashliesims replied to your photo “Sunday morning breakfast. :)”

I like that Sam the Cat has a tag their own.

Heheh, I was inspired by meetmetotheriver who always tags the family pets. 🙂

yun-sims replied to your photo “Organizing my plants…”

I’d like a bigger picture so I could see if you’ve some plants I don’t and then ask where you got them 😀 I’m a plant hoarder…

I’m convinced there’s a plant hoarder in every Simmer. 😛 Here’s a slightly larger pic, ask away!

barbiepinklady replied to your photo “Organizing my plants…”

WCIF the plants in the brown area plz

They’re by Wood for Sims, but I use these slaved versions by Shasta. ❤ (Gah, it takes me so long to find anything on GoS, I used to have a much better system of organizing my GoS downloads…)

OMG! Love it! 😀

Thank you! 😀

Ooh, this looks so sweet! Do I spy new paintings? 🙂

Yes you do! I spent the better part of a day off making Simlish recolors of vintage ice cream parlor signs… 🙂

fi, you always make such comprehensive lists when people ask for things, thank you for all the effort that goes into that 🙂

Awww, you’re welcome! ❤ I’m nothing if not thorough, I suppose. 😛 (I was once told on one of my clinical rotations that I was too thorough with my patient write-up!) But I really enjoy providing resources and being able to help out a fellow Simmer. 😀

I love that last shot! symmetry 🙂

Thanks! ❤ I tried to get it as symmetric as possible, which proved to be a very difficult task at 3:30 AM.

it’s all so perfect and cute and PERFECT and CUTE :3

Ahhhhhh *flails* THANK YOU 😀 ❤

justsimaround replied to your photoset “The Boardwalk, part 3. It wouldn’t be one of my lots if I didn’t…”

How!? *o*

Many hours spent staring at a blank lot and trying to figure out what to put there. XD Also, I almost borked my neighborhood trying to make this lot because I tried to modify the neighborhood terrain and the WHOLE PENINSULA was destroyed. Thank goodness someone reminded me about Hood Replace! (Note to self: don’t mess around with the modify terrain cheat; you don’t know what you’re doing)

This is absolutely gorgeous. I especially love that last picture.

Thank you so much! ❤ I’m glad the last picture came out nicely. I actually restarted my game because I realized I had forgotten to download those coin-operated telescopes for the end of the pier, so I couldn’t take the picture until those were in there. XD

the bathrooms are adorable ❤

the bathrooms are my favorite part of this too 😉

YES! Two more followers for my bathroom army! :3 Thank you! ❤

stop it!!! stop being so awesome!!!

NOOOO YOU STOP ❤ 

twofee replied to your photoset “Cassandra’s room.”

i like the green color choice for cassie! something different than the purple i feel like i usually see associated with her.

Thanks, twofee! ❤ It wasn’t really a conscious decision to avoid purple – I thought about it, but as I’m not much of a purple/pink fan myself, I tend to delete most of my CC in those colors. XD It really just all came together when I was searching for bedding and that particular pattern caught my eye. I wanted something elegant and feminine, but not too stuffy. 🙂 I’m glad you like it! 

Wow! I think my computer would flip me off, then blow up if I tried to play with that kind of custom content. I am impressed and kind of jealous.

Aww! I’m pretty fortunate my computer hasn’t done that to me yet. 😛 I put together a new computer about two years ago – it’s pretty decent by itself – but then I bought myself a solid state drive as a graduation present and it’s quite a miracle worker. :3 I bought it primarily for playing the Sims, but the SSD is so much faster that I’ve been using it for everything, it’s almost full. D: 

To be fair, I used to play the game on my old computer with a similar amount of custom content…I have a downloading problem.

pistxl-sims replied to your post:Downloads folder now clocking in at 18 GB… I blame…

I think it had to of been over the edge long before CiJ??? LOL. This makes me feel a little better about my DL folder though! *hi-fives*

HUSH. XD *hi-fives* Hooray for CC Addicts Not-So-Anonymous! 😀 What size is yours at the moment??

and how long does all that take to load?

About 20-25 minutes to load the game, an extra ten minutes or so to enter CAS/load a family. Surprisingly not terrible. D: My old computer used to take at least an hour to load with a similar amount of CC.

I’ve been slowly going through my downloads and removing whatever I can out of subfolders to see if that makes a difference. And I’m still renaming files, even though the first time I tried that it didn’t make a difference at all. 

LONG OVERDUE REPLIES

I promise I’ll get better at replying to comments! (Half the time it’s because I’m browsing tumblr on the mobile app…)

Regarding Surrey Hall entry/common area:

pistxl-sims said: it’s because you wanted to use that rug. whenever I accidentally click it inside a small-normal sized home I’m like oookay not that one. LOL

LOL this is very true. It’s actually the only thing that was large enough to break up all the empty space. I could’ve sworn I had some nice 5×5 Persian-looking rugs at some point, but they must be in an older downloads folder. A Google search didn’t turn up anything else that would’ve fit the room, but I guess it worked out because I got to use that huge floor piece. 😀

threadandsandpaper said: I’m impressed with your ability to decorate big spaces, rooms reach a certain size and I become completely unable to do anything with them.

Thank you! I’m the same way, unfortunately. This whole building endeavor has been WAY out of my comfort zone. I’m actually very happy with how it’s turning out, but progress has been extremely slow-going.

Regarding Elijah’s room:

mooseabides reblogged your photoset and added:
I absolutely love this.
*tacklehugs mooseabides* Thank you so much! ❤

Regarding Monaghan family kitchen:

kingandcrook replied to your photo “Monaghan family kitchen.”

This is too cute and too clever!

Awww, thank you so much! I’m glad you think so! ❤

Regarding the Monaghan triplets’ birthday:

pistxl-sims replied to your photo “It’s time for the Monaghan triplets to age up! (THANK GOD) No…”
LOL. And I thought twins were bad!

Oh my goodness, it’s been an absolute nightmare. I’m sorely tempted to remove that triplets & quads mod for my own sanity…but I guess my game could always use the extra challenge. 😛

Regarding my silly attempt at playing around in Photoshop:

amonsimmies replied to your photo:
Now I’m tempted to build some three lakes style vacation home 😛 All because of youuuu

Dooooooo itttt~ *waves arms hypnotically* I can’t get enough of the mountain/cabin aesthetic. It makes me so happy to see a lot of Simmers using it recently – endless source of inspiration! I would love to see it in your style. 🙂 

Regarding Surrey Hall entry:

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “Surrey Hall entry.”

I love those doors…although it never occurred to me to put two of them side-by-side. Looks nice that way!

Thank you! ❤ I’m not sure what actually made me put two of them next to each other, actually. The original incarnation of this building only had only the one door (centered on four-tiles <3), but when I rebuilt from scratch I don’t think it was working out for some reason, heh. Fortunately, it gave me a chance to use these doors for the first time!

Regarding Surrey Hall student lounge/rec room:

threadandsandpaper replied to your photoset “Surrey Hall student lounge/rec room.”
Ah the Phoenix sofa. Its held up well for such an old piece of CC.

Right? HolySimoly CC is always some of the first content I put back into my game after a reinstall, yet it always tends to get lost in the shuffle. I guess this is me challenging myself to actually use the different pieces of CC I have. 

Regarding Elijah’s confession:

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “Elijah’s confession doesn’t seem to have ruined anything at all – in…”
Aww! 🙂

They’re so cute, I almost can’t handle it. 😀

Regarding my random dormitory photoset:

threadandsandpaper replied to your photoset
Fun fact: I’ve taken to scrolling up from my last point instead of down from the top. So: I see the pictures before I see the name, and I can always tell which ones are yours. You officially have a distinct (and awesome) style.

Ack! This is the most amazing comment. ❤ There is so much incredible talent in this community, and I’m forever being inspired by other Simmers – it’s good to know that even with all of that I’m still able to maintain my own style, of sorts. Thank you. 😀 ❤ (PS. I can always tell which ones are yours, too!)

Regarding my diner photoset:

threadandsandpaper replied to your photoset
It’s pretty freaking awesome.

YOU’RE pretty freaking awesome. ❤ But seriously, thanks!

Regarding the Pamuk family living room:

threadandsandpaper replied to your photoset “Finally gave the Pamuk family a proper living room.”

Ugh. The Bah House windows. I just got them into my game, and I can’t do ANYTHING with them. They look nice here though.

Really? I feel like I tend to overuse them! I think it’s because they’re very simple and so symmetrical (all the squares and whatnot) – it works for me because I tend to build mostly boxes. 😛 I love that the one window (the one in the first picture) fits seamlessly when placed next to another. 

Regarding Artemis-at-the-bar spam:

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “I have so many adorable screenshots of Artemis at the bar with Garland…”

I don’t mind the spamming! It’s inspiring. I suck at community lots. *laugh*

Thank you! ❤ I felt the same way – community lots just seemed so daunting. Then I built one…and another…and another. Can’t say I’m exceptionally good at it or anything, but it does become quite addicting! 😛

Regarding the adorableness that is Freddie:

mechbutterfly replied to your photoset:

I know everyone complains about EAxis for a lot of reasons, but let’s face it – the pets in TS2 are adorable. :3

D: *ENORMOUS GROUP HUG* You are all too sweet! Thank you <333 And thanks for the comments on my eyes – they’re quite big, which makes them fun to accentuate with makeup. 🙂 (They also have very poor vision, which makes them fun to accentuate with glasses, too. XD)Â
