Jihoon LeTourneau's boyfriend Ralph recently gave him a telescope after a dream date. Now he can use it legitimately during the day, and not just at night!
Of course Jihoon let his housemate Jamie use the telescope too.
My Santa (I don't know if I'm allowed to say who she/he is yet) has also given me a mod to stop those infuriating "Why haven't you been in touch?" phone calls. I haven't been able to test that yet, because it's still too early in the day, but when it gets to 4 p.m. in Jamie and Jihoon's house I'll soon know. Jamie has reason to hate those calls even more than any of my other Sims. Jihoon, his housemate, is an ex-townie and has lots of townie friends. Jihoon also has a job that starts at 5 p.m. most days. So the carpool turns up at 4 p.m. So, just as he leaves, the 'phone starts to ring, as all Jihoon's "friends" start phoning up to complain that he hasn't been keeping in touch. "Hi Jamie. Is Jihoon there?" "No, he's at work." "Hi Jamie. Is Jihoon there?" "No! He's at work!" "Hi Jamie. Is Jihoon there?" "NO!!!!!" "GRRRR!!!!!!!" Poor Jamie is just about tearing his hair out. It goes on every working day for about two hours! The only relief is on Jihoon's days off, when he's at least there to answer his own calls. Jamie has got into the habit of ignoring the 'phone and letting it ring. Until today that is! Hopefully today at 4 p.m. the 'phone will stay mercifully silent! I'll let you know!
Thanks Santa! :lovestruc :lovestruc
I received a lovely gift from my Secret Santa! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say who it is or if I'm allowed to share the gift yet, but I'll post some pictures anyway.
Sim Sample has had a want for a vacation home for a while, so when I saw that my gift was a beautiful house, I knew what to do with it!
I placed the new house on the sunny holiday island that is attached to the neighbourhood, and had Sim purchase it as a vacation home. Want achieved!
The taxi has arrived in snowy Lacuna Delta:
As you can see, it is very cold in the neighbourhood!
Here they are arriving at the new house that my Secret Santa created, now placed in sunny Echo Peak:
Isn't it beautiful! It is made almost entirely out of glass! This is it in its unaltered state, except for the tent and camp bed I placed in the garden for the extra sims to sleep in.
The sims (Sim Sample, Moana Amore the servo, George the Bigfoot and Homer Simpson the alien lodger) get to work enjoying the lot immediately. You can see the stairs leading to the living quarters, and the pretty garden.
Behind the hedges on the right of the image is an outdoor bathroom!
Homer has never smelled such lovely flowers:
Homer has a wish to swim, so I decided to install a pool in the garden, as there is a nice big space for one.
Moana Amore decides to recharge as her batteries got quite flat on the journey.
George decides to take an outdoor bubble bath:
Uh-oh, that's not supposed to happen! Moana is not waterproof!
Sim has grilled some hot-dogs on the Barbecue, and one of the locals has joined him for lunch.
The views from the kitchen are spectacular! I need a transparent fridge!
Sim has a shower in the glass bathroom. He keeps his trunks on so he doesn't put the others off their food!
Thank goodness, thinks Homer.
How nice to be able to see the pretty island without walls getting in the way!
George and the guest are in the upper lounge. They look like they are floating on air!
Homer tries out the outdoor shower:
George is sitting on the floor in the upper lounge, watching the giant TV:
Moana Amore isn't looking too good, but the house looks great from this angle!
Oh no, Moana is running amok! She has shocked the guest:
I hate to ask, but are friends electric? Only, mine's broke down,and now I've no-one to love...
I love this picture- it has a local having a crisis, a servo having a meltdown, and a Bigfoot's butt:
Nooooo! Poor George.
At last she stops, the moon is out and a comet streaks the sky.
Homer and Sim watch TV in the upper lounge. I moved the sofa a little closer to the TV.
The channel is 'Simsample TV'!
It's getting late, so Homer and Bigfoot turn in:
Sim and the (much revived) guest share a late grilled cheese supper:
After the guest has left, Sim tests the comfy bed.
As you can see, my sims will have fun for the rest of the holiday in their vacation house! They still haven't tried out the chess board, or looked through the telescope on the upper balcony.
Thank you, Secret Santa! :lovestruc

My Santa said I could share it... are we meant to upload the gift here if we want to share it, or let the Santa upload it publicly on their own account, since they made it?

I'd just share the link that they gave you for it. If Santa wants to upload it to MTS later on, they can do that. |
Oh of course, that makes sense. Here is the link to the outfit if anyone else wants it: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/900077/

Thank you Santa!
Edited to add: And today she can upload pictures! The first shot is Charity's pre- Santa gift, Pawz replaced with Feetz!
And more choices for my kids from my official Santa. Its nice to have some variation in their options.
I'm now allowed to tell you that @AndrewGloria was my secret santa who built the beautiful glass house.
You can get it here:
https://www.simfileshare.net/download/896294/
It requires Uni, NL & OFB, plus the swing from Phaenoh's playground set. All other required CC is included in the Sims2Pack.
I've been playing it for the last couple of days as a vacation home, and it works well with no routing problems. The sims seem to like it very much.
Thank you AndrewGloria! :lovestruc

I plan to upload them at some point to MTS in the future, if there's no objections.

Seems nitpicky, I know, but I always wanted a sim cairn terrier. XD

Thanks Aysarth!
The mod to stop the whining 'phone calls (NoRelationshipDecayWarning.rar) should work for everybody, but she wrote the bird-watching mod specially for my version (highest EP OFB). It won't work with all EPs as Maxis changed the way animations are handled in the later EPs. She hopes to upload an all-EPs version in the next fortnight or so, but she hasn't been well, so please be patient. If anyone does want the version that only works with the early EPs, you will almost certainly want Birdwatchwithpics which incudes the thought bubbles with pictures of birds and the trees where they live. BirdwatchOFBNoPics is the same but without the thought bubbles.
Cairn terriers
I have a lovely little Real Life Cairn Terrier called Fudgey. Her colour seems to vary according to how long her hair is. As it grows longer, she grows darker. (I hope it's not just that she's getting dirtier. ) Then she goes to her beautician every 12 weeks, and comes back much lighter. Actually it seems to me that the colour of Cairn Terriers can vary quite a bit from cream to almost black. They can't be white though, because, if they're white, then they're Westies (West Highland Terriers).
I'm sorry to say that Fudgey is racially prejudiced -- she doesn't like black dogs! We got her about the same time as I started to play The Sims, when her previous owner, my niece, emigrated to Australia (Queensland). They didn't think that Fudgey, who likes her home comforts, could stand a long flight and quarantine. She's fourteen now, and sadly went completely blind just before Christmas. As the onset of blindness was sudden (it seems that the lens of her one remaining good eye became detached) she is finding it hard to adapt to not seeing.
Looking at Bulbizarre's Cairn Terrier makes me wish that I could let my Sims have pets, but it seems that the problem of burnt-out graphics chips in computers with integrated graphics chips started with the Pets EP, and I don't feel I can take the risk. It's a pity, because I'm sure Andrew would love to have a cat or a dog.

Sunrader was my secret santa and I got a custom architecture career with gender neutral pronouns. Awesome! Can't wait to have my sims be architects. |
Simsample, I love the neighborhood! The lots are absolutely beautiful. I have families moving in as we speak. If you wanted to go ahead and share it that's fine. Again, thank you so much for your work |
I was chosen as your MTS Secret Santa. I hope you don't mind your gifts a little early, as I will be AFK for a few days now.
I heard you need some athletic gear, so here are some outfits on a University mesh, for your adult male sims.
There are eight colours for everyday and athletic wear, and they have simlish logos on them.
Get the athletic outfits here!
Requires: Uni
Next are some doorbells and house numbers on Aikea Guinea's shiftable wall writing mesh.
The mesh is included as per Aikea's policy, and they should show up in decorative/ wall hangings for free. The number plaques are in simlish, of course!
Get the doorbells here!
Requires: AL (for shifting)
I know you like clutter so i made some recolours of the Maxis fruitbowl for you.
This uses HugeLunatic's fruitbowl CEP extra, so be sure to install that too.
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=596187
Get the fruitbowls here!
Requires: Basegame
I also know that you wanted some lots that were made from shipping containers, or converted warehouses. Well, because I like making neighbourhoods, I made you a whole world with some of these kinds of lots in it.
It's called Sonder, which means something like "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own". Sonder has assorted community, residential and apartment lots, which you can use in this neighbourhood or move to your existing neighbourhood.
Get Sonder here!
Requires: All EPs and Ikea SP.
I hope you like your gifts, they are yours to do what you like with, so please feel free to share, modify, destroy, copy etc., with no credit needed and no restrictions from me (but please respect Aikea Guinea's policy regarding the wall writing mesh here. ).
I hope you have fun, and happy holidays to you and your sims, from me and my sims!
Best Wishes,
simsample

They look beautiful in game. My simmies are also settling in quite well to Sonder!!
