The Polls

A minor note about the polls:
First, I'm so glad to have people come on to vote.  It's very cool to get some feedback about our Simming!

Second, in the recent poll, I left KPST out of the running because I don't consider it a true Stuff Pack.  To me, it's a "Bonus Pack" as it seems to be a continuation of themed content that was left out of Showtime. (And in my honest opinion, it should have been included at no additional cost.)

Anyway, of the two that actually selected the option "Why wasn't KPST added??" please make a comment to this post.


 Oooh! It just got all mysterious in here, didn't it?  "Why am I asking for a comment from those two voters?" You ask? Well, you're not in trouble! (Quite the contrary) But I can't risk saying why yet.  But if you post a comment to this, please include your Sims 3 official screen name for me.

Coming Soon - Martinque

I have a WIP to share, although I think it'll be a few days yet before it's ready.  This one is based on a floor plan a requester provided and is a pretty detailed build.

The home will contain CC but no store content.  And all EPs/SPs up to Showtime will be used in creating this home.

This is a 4BR/4BA home with a spacious walk-out basement.  There is lots of space to furnish in this home so it'll be time-consuming to do the interior.  I'm nearly done with landscaping and I think tomorrow I'll be able to move to designing the interior.

I will keep you posted, folks.

Happy Simming

SimAngel's Build Competition

There are only about 5 days until our competition is closed.  I thought I'd post a final quick invitation to those who may be interested in a generous prize pool.

There is over 5,000 Sim Points that will be gifted in the form of Wish List items up for grabs and you only have to build your version of a home that we provide.  A BIG THANK YOU to blunote00 for her generous sponsorship to this competition.

For details on this build competition, you can visit the thread in Gift Gathering.  If you cannot compete whether you don't feel like you can build or there's a time crunch, please support those that have competed by taking a moment to Rec their creations for their hard work and view what neat things they created out of the floor plan we provided.

There are some amazing entries already, and I hope in the coming  days to see more.  Please join in!

Deuces Wild Club & Casino

Another community lot for Lucky Palms is available.  This time I made a night/dance club since a town similar to Vegas didn't really have any nightlife spots.

So, Deuces Wild provides a Late Night atmosphere with the Lucky Palms gambling.  There is a mixologist bar, karaoke machine, dance floor, slot machines and blackjack tables.

This lot is CC Free but contains the following Store items:

Lucky Palms World*
Lucky Palms Casino*
Lucky N' Loveseat
Pierre Alto Bubblicious Floor Lamp
City Never Sleeps (artwork)
Au Courant Stool**
Chilly Chair**

* = Recommended for best functionality
** = Dr. Pepper items/Free items

For best results, place lot on 52 Golf Links Lane in Lucky Palms and change the lot type to "Dance Club" 


I have a YouTube Video Showcase for this lot.

Deuces Wild Club & Casino is available for download through MediaFire & The Exchange.
Please DL/Rec/Fav if you like the new community lot.

Thank you for visiting! Happy Simming!

Progress Report

So, I have an update to my competition build.  If you remember, I told you not too long about about a build competition being held over at The Simmer's Society.

Here's my progress:

As you can see, a good portion of my interior contains CC patterns and furniture/build items.  I love CC.  If EA made this stuff I'd be 10 times more addicted to The Sims. Seriously.

Anyway, I usually don't show my work as it's in progress, but I figure since this is a competition build I can show you as I go.

Speaking of competitions, there is one being held by my build team over in Gift Gathering section of the official forums.  Check it out and see if you want to participate - there's great incentive thanks to Blunote00's generous sponsorship.

Have a Great Weekend!

New! Chaumont - An 'Old World' Home

Hello Again!

I have another build to share with you. This one (built by request) is available through MediaFire and The Exchange.

This home is, what I call, a Mini-Mansion.  With only 2 bedrooms, one master and one nursery, and 1 full bath, this home still manages to provide what a beginning family needs to live in comfort.

*CC Free
*Contains Store Content:

• Edwardian Expressions Kitchen (set)
• Regal Living Bath, Kitchen and Bedroom (sets)
• Harvest Time
• Forest Curtains
• Boeuf Gras Dining Chair
• Old Town Dining Table
• Fresh Farm Sink
• Festoon to the Honeymoon
• Grecian Towels
• Gothique Painting
• Oval Gothique
• Khmer Rug
• Athena's Olive Tree
• Velvet Seclusion
• Not So Private Study Door
• Shh! It's A Library Door
• Handicraft Column

*Please Note: Showtime EP is NOT necessary for this home to function. I used the Dark Ash Tree from Build mode which is why the Exchange says that Showtime is required,  however, it's not.  The game will simply populate a (most likely) Base-game tree if you do not have Showtime.

1 CAP Pattern by Blue Murder was used. (It'll be hard to spot in the home but I used it on the Khmer Rug)

I was able to successfully make a video showcase for this home, so please take a moment to Watch The Video.

Thank you for looking
~Happy Simming ~

Marco - A Modern Home

Due to problems with uploading to the Exchange, this home is only available through MediaFire.

This home is 4BR/3.5BA, 3 story home.  There is a walk-out/daylight basement with direct access to the pool and outdoor entertainment area.  And in the basement there is a "Man Cave" for your male sims to escape from their sim-missus.

This home is CC Free & Store Content Free.
There are no SPs required and the only EPs required are Ambitions and Pets.

Two bedrooms are completely furnished, the third is sort of a guest room with light furnishing and the fourth is empty for customization.

Though I did not provide the supplies, I did keep in mind the possibile addition of pets and there should be room for downloaders to add these things if they wish.

Also, (this seems to not be my day) I tried to make a video but in the saving process, my movie maker program decided to crash.  So, we're settling for Old School here, and you'll find pics of the house below.

(Images can by enlarged by clicking on them)

As always, I appreciate the support and the time you take to view my blog.  Have a Happy Fourth of July (to those Americans out there) and have a Great Day!

Peaches

Coming Soon!

4BR/2.5BA Modern home will be uploaded within 24 hours.

This is made by request with Ambitions and Pets in mind, and I will have some spare space for those with other EPs/SPs to add their touches to the home.


Any ideas for a name for the home?  I get so stumped with naming moderns......


Off to finish this house!
Happy Simming, Y'All ~ Peaches
