I'll add one to the list later today, if I still have Internet.

Wyn, I snagged a copy. I know just the sim to move into that particular lot, once I've got all the EPs. It's exactly the sort of place a family friend of ours would dream of living in.

Greh.. It looks like I'll have at least a week's worth of non-intarwebz time to dedicate to working on these. We were supposed to be in Future Bunker by now (we signed off on the tenth with "you'll be in by the 13th!" promises) so intarwebz were supposed to be transfered on the 22nd. We're still here, so the new service doesn't go on in the other house. Bah.

Ah, well.. I can get more work done on rebuilding my long-ignored hood and make work on these foundations. I'll lock my office on the way out.

Bed-in-hallway with doors on either side to let them in.
..not that I, you know, ever had to DO something like that.

So... no bathrooms, lots of deathtraps?

Damn. I yoinked before reading it was made with all EPs. Any chance you're still interested in posting a Base Compatible version?

Laurels are one half of comedy duos, of which kikis are neither member.

I'll be taking the info to Blue. If we end up getting that computer, I'll be sure to set up a backup on a different HD (we'll have three computers at that point, two HDs on one) and look around for a better graphics card. We knew this would basically be our next base to build up on.

Cute & funny! Still want a newspaperlogic animation on a RetarDOH card, though.

Yeah, I know how MATY works. -points to laurels-

I don't like Vista, I don't want Vista. I'd be thrilled to NOT HAVE Vista, but if I can't find XP, I'll stick with what I'll have on it.
Thanks for the other advice given; I'm going to beat Blue over the head with several objects if he is having us save up for a computer that doesn't like Sims.

This is the one Blue (Not Soup) picked out for me. Not sure when we could get it, but when I mention Sims 2 and wanting to add on all the EPs, SPs, and CC.. he brushes aside my concerns and says none of the New Shininess would get bogged down. I think I was mentioning the need for MOAR RAMS on my current Old Dimness.

I'd use the Makebuyable hack if I could find it.

That would be because they changed the link to a photobucket album. Keep up.

Chobeegal: Nice place! I'll be absconding with a copy once I've got the proper EPs.

I don't start new accounts at places JUST to view someone else's screenshots. In fact, most of MATY doesn't. We all either buy/borrow server space, or use Imageshack or Photobucket. Neither of these require anyone to do more than click to view.

Good girl. A+

Now you move on to 50/50. Open a new folder on your desktop, move half your CC to that folder. Boot up. If it works, that half is safe, swap it with the other ha--- wait.. you have 7% space available on your harddrive? Try paring down your CC and removing any files/programs from your computer that you've gotten tired of or moved beyond. It may be that your computer can't run the game.
In the past, I've had my game refuse to load because I hit some magic limit on my CC. If I removed a couple items, it'd load (though it still took forever). Also, keep in mind the more CC you have the LONGER it'll take to load the game. At the max, I had a wait time of about an hour to reach the neighborhood chooser screen.

Have you added a shit-ton of stuff to your computer since September?

Homework: Run a Disc Cleanup, Defrag your harddrive, and pull your ENTIRE CC folder. If it boots, shut down and put the CC back in.
Turn in homework WITHOUT using OMGCAPSLOCK and maybe there can be some help made from there.

Me, too! xD It's the main for all my hoods.

Crunk: Nope!  I thoroughly playtest before offering. I forgot to include that info. lol
It's cramped cozy, but I didn't have any issues with the Ramaswamis, their child, or their dog and cat. Yeah.. I kinda cheat them into a full-on family so I can better test crowd control. I don't have BV, so I have no idea if you can live in a vacation hood or bring pets to it, but this would work just as well in a typical 'hood for a screenshot scene. Same is true of my next one, a dinky little manshack.

I harassed the creator of FLAT!hoods for this one: Strangel Can Be Flat
I needed a hood terrain that could have flat beach space AND cliffsides for basement type lots.

Thanks, Tingeling & (possibly?) Alex. I ended up deciding on a contemporary-ish country cottage. I only have up to Seasons, so I didn't have the tent, spiral stairs, and the like to put up, but I figured I could make a setup that would be forward-planned. Personally, I'm still snickering about the exterior. I wiped everything, painted all the "must stay" walls flaming red, and started hunting a dog house, as I'd planned on it being a "man and his dog" type setup. When I picked out THAT dog house, I decided the whole exterior would be based around it. lol
I thought it'd make an excellent summer home, what with the small size and agreeable price. The single bedroom could be easily altered for a spawn pen and the pet items aren't overpowering. I did my best to make the upper floor presentable, but by the time I'd reached that level, I was done with working on it and was eager to get it tested and posted.
Husband got a laugh out of the real estate listing description. We've been house bunker hunting for a couple years and we've seen plenty of "cozy" places, "first home jewels" and "moderately priced" "perfect starter-uppers". AND.. I've got my second finished. Took all my pictures, shut down Sims, and went to my Screenshots folder. Empty. I'd forgotten to reset my damned Gadwin after shutting it down! Bah. So, that'll have to wait.

For not having been inspired, it looks grand!

EDIT: Price of lot may have changed, not sure. Darkened the space under the lattice foundation.

I did that one as well, but I got my entry in late enough that it missed comment and/or downloading. LOL It was a fun house to work with, though.

Will do! I was mostly hoping I wouldn't hear "Yes, pull all of it." So, thank you.

Definitely reads like an ESL, but after so much begging.. I'd be ignoring it, too.
While I'm here, I'd like to baa for you and ask this: do I need to remove the def rep prego morph for these to work, or do I need to report to the pregomorph person that one of his/hers is broken?
I had seen images of the crazy mesh issues, so I can see where that irks.

I'm torn between wanting eyebleach and wanting to recreate this in my game.
