You can use the Journal on here and use Sims File Share to host them.

Switching skin defaults is so hard. On one hand I'm so tired of my current defaults, and on the other hand it's too weird seeing my old sims in any new skin.

The list would have been really long, and I am not fond of long lists when I submit a lot for download. The more-CC list for Naftali (my dorm here) was even a couple of CC items too long for my tastes, and I believe it was no more than a couple of dozen CC items, including recolors.

I have a whole bunch of classrooms designed for subjects such as cooking, music, fine arts, political science, avian science, general science, etc. etc., so I don't need those. The one building I've been meaning to work on is an aggie (agricultural)-type building. To do that, though, I would definitely need different kinds of farm animals, things appropriate for barns. coops and stalls, etc. I would use Sun&Moon's chickens and ducks, so there would be off-site links to those, and the total CCs in those are pretty high (but so worth it, IMO). I would include some of kativip's animal statues because of their quality, and that site concerns some because of the ads. However, I would have to link to it because it it would be extremely bad manners not to. I might have been able to use some Plumbbob keep animals instead. I might have even included Rebecah's butter churn from Affinity Sims and/or Crisps and Kerosene's ice cream stand (or Exnem's ice cream machine), since many aggie colleges make and sell products from their animals.

I could have made a lot separate from the building for the animals, but I like the idea of my Sims getting a little hands-on experience raising the ducks and chickens on the lot (picking up eggs and hatching chicks). While there are moving cows, those are NPCs, I believe. Ooh .... forgot pig and sheep statues!

Maybe I could have left out the cows, pigs and sheep (probably a good idea ... stick to the poultry!) and see if one of the custom food stands here have a lot of products using eggs. Still a large CC list, though!

Since a classroom or two might be nice, I would have included a Sophie-David lectern and the nature/animal item (the bird, I believe). All of my school lots concerning subjects have classrooms.

I don't think you can have proper Maxis gardens that you can tend and harvest (there is a way to make a community lot into a community garden, but unless I have a student buy the lot and stall the Sim for a long time on-campus using a mod, or have rich Sims take over once the originals graduated, I could not do that in Uni.) However, the grapevines from Sun&Moon and the berry bushes might be nice, as well as several of the trees. You can harvest those and consume the produce. More CC PLUS a mod or two! I might have made a separate lot for gardens, though, since I don't think I can put this all on one lot without a lot of lagging.

With everything going on in my life, this CC list would have been too unwieldy, and I have a lot of personal issues going on. But this wasn't for lack of desire!

My campus has both modern buildings constructed for classrooms and old houses once part of the original property converted into classrooms. I have been toying with converting a farmhouse, but a modern classroom might have worked better. I could have also done an old-style classroom building. I just couldn't make up my mind!

It's no wonder I haven't even made one for my custom campus within the last couple of years, and I already HAVE the CC!

Just got worried that something was wrong my my colour perception or my monitor because all the walls looked way more green on the house than in the catalogue. Turns out nothing was wrong, it's just spring in my neighbourhood :-P

Real question is- how long did it take you to get used to it? My mouse is like second nature. I tried a coworker's gaming mouse at work, and I felt like the princess and the pea.

I've been playing my uni sims for a week and I got in such a rut, I felt like I was the one back in school. I think the issue is that I need fewer playables per household. I can play a 10 person family without breaking a sweat, but I hit 4 uni students and I'm so overwhelmed with balancing all the needs, wants, and classes.

I'd say maybe two, three weeks? Not much longer than getting used to a new keyboard or a new monitor really...

The solution is to take a skin that's similar, but better! ^^
Making some new recolors and really loving the result so far... Probably going to upload them here!

I don't understand the logic of covering the preview-sim in intrusive underwear in Body Shop when you've just seen the skin naked in the projects folder.
Also the fact that colors don't look the same in body shop as in the game is REALLY FREAKING UNHELPFUL.
Okay, random sims rant over.

I thought Sims TV had a drama channel, but they don't, and I think it's a little surprising that the devs left it out. I extracted all of the tv shows from TS3 to use in TS2 (TS3 shows use TS2 Sims, and the quality is higher than the tv clips that shipped with TS2), and there's no logical folder to sort a lot of them into.

That's a really good idea I always found it weird that they put SIms 2 movies on the Sims 3 TV. It's like "Hey, remember how good Sims used to look in the last game? Here have a refresher each time your sedated-looking double chins turns on the TV!"

There's a tutorial somewhere on making custom channels.

Thanks. I just dumped them all into the Sims Broadcasting Network folder in the end.

Does anyone else have so many Sim ideas that it results in not doing any of them? I envy people who can just get things done instead of having a ton of half finished CC and neighborhoods.

Do you think you could share the extracted clips? I don't have TS3 installed and I don't want to install it just to extract them myself, but I'd like them in my game too.

Sims give you hints at what there "Aspiration" should be with Nighat Caliente wanting a new family member when she is still a child.
Her Aspiration says it is Family and I am following what the wiki says for all the born in game The Beginning of Pleastview sims.
https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Nighat_Caliente

After seeing some interesting '50s/'60s content for TS2, I'm thinking it would be a nice settlment for "The Beginning of Pleasantview" that I was planning to attach to one of the many beautiful Old Town remakes in the web... On the plus side, I could completely rebuild the TS2 folder + Downloads so I wouldn't have to wait the game to load for 20 mins but, at the same time, I don't have time to play my main hood or complete the MM hood I was planning to share.

I wish I had these nice ideas while I was unemployed

Time for me to face it. I need to install the 4GB patch. The game can't help all the high-poly CC anymore.

I feel bad not taking advantage of the Simming potential of my computer more, and not getting more creations up for people to enjoy... but at the same time, I have enough 'real' things in my life that I HAVE TO have to do, I don't want to make Simming feel like something I HAVE to do too!

My sim accepted a casual outing offer from a friend she didn't know very well but would like to. She put on a sultry dress, heels, and a hot shade of red lipstick and met him at a nice restaurant. She was just seated and turned around to see who else he had invited. It was her father and his best buddy.

I have 3 lots that are at least 75% finished that I can't get myself to work on. I haven't been in the mood to build lately. I don't even have the desire to build in my playable hood, and that's an actual problem because I'm running out of houses. I feel silly leaving them so close to finished for months now. I put one lot in my hood for testing. The lot name is literally "Museum Semi-Final" and I see it shaming me in the list every time my sims are going to travel to a downtown lot.

Download lots! Or put on music (your own music, not the game's :P) while you build. That always helps me. Everything gets easier with music!

Sim.

yep, think I put an extra zero in the character file in SimPE.
He'll be making use of it for sure.

Too bad maintaining a large vegetable garden in unpredictable weather in real life is not as easy as it is in game. Even with the extreme weather mods I have installed, I just realized that my gardening/farming sims have it pretty easy...even when things do go wrong.

Well I did this on purpose:

Right! It's unfair, honestly.
