Hi! Glad to hear Linux works so well for you.

So uh, I have never actually used CleanInstaller, even on Windows, because I practically never download pre-built houses or sims. I did try to get it work back in October/November but couldn't and then didn't try again because I personally just don't use it. You've actually gotten further than I did because mine wouldn't even recognize my folders. That's a good sign though, I think.

I remember @nonsensical-pixels was also trying to get it to work back then and was struggling too, but I don't know if it worked out for her in the meantime.

I have been absolutely blown away by the response to this post. While I post my Sims pics to give others a glimpse in to my game, it is awesome to get such great feedback.

@nervosims, @helene2troie, @sterina-sims, @12raben, @jonnyparable, @anachronisims, @gold33, @katatty, @maksplaygroundsims2, @princesspiratecat & @eulaliasims- Thank you all so much, especially since there are some many of you who have the most gorgeous 'hoods as well!

If I were doing it, I'd provide the needed CC as a bundle alongside the neighbourhood files.

The only thing about bundling it is...what if someone doesn’t want all of it? Or what if they already have a lot of it? I mean, from what I understand, once CC is bundled, it’s not an easy process to un-bundle, and the Uni, especially, has a LOT of CC in the form of hood deco.

Is this your university hood? It’s fantastic!! <3

That it is! And thank you. :) It kind of got out of hand. I didn’t intend for it to be that big, but then I tend to go overboard, so.... I think I’d share it as a main hood, though. Unless people would prefer it as a uni template? Or maybe I’ll do both? Either way it’ll need to be finished with lots. I guess I’ll put out a general ask when the time comes that it’s ready for sharing.

ooh that'd be a fun thing to play around in! I love decorated hoods, because I'm lazy

Me, too! :D But I’m also picky and something of a perfectionist, which is a sort of bad and self-conflicting combination. *laugh*

hugelunatic replied to your post “A question, before it’s back to bed with me...”

It's just like a full hood. The hood folder and either include necessary cc or link to it.

Yeah, before I came over here to Tumblr, it dawned on me that there are predecorated-but-lotless terrains up for download at MTS. So, I downloaded one of those and, yep, the whole neighborhood folder. I’ll be including the CC, though, mostly because I have no clue where I got most of the stuff I have or who made it, so finding links would be problematic and time-consuming. :)

It all looks so lovely! ��

Oh my god, your hood tho. It's beautiful!! :O

Thank you to both of you. <3 I’m having waaaaay too much fun decorating it.

dunne-ias replied to your link “Online English Vocabulary Size Test”

I hope you feel better soon! I got top 5.5% on that quiz, in English. Did a similar one in my actual native language and got top 0.1%, so I'm pretty happy with 5.5% in a foreign language :9

Considering English isn’t your mother tongue, I’d say being in the top 5.5% is pretty damn good! I’d wager you did better than most Americans would. Which is embarrassing, but there it is... If only we had a government that properly funded education instead of trying to fund private “Christian” schools via ridiculous “vouchers” in the name of “freedom of choice.” :P Buuuuuut that’s a rant for another time and place. *sigh*

Get better! (btw you can use tumblr from a mobile browser, I haven't used the app since 2 years or so)

Not on a Kindle, apparently. :( Or at least not on mine. I tried that and it just redirected to the mostly-broken app. It’s got an Amazon-proprietary operating system, so it has its weirdnesses that way. Although maybe if I deleted the mostly-useless app it’d work....Hmmm. 

unicornfatty replied to your photoset “Household #3: Anette McConnell and Saeyoung “Seven” Choi Their house....”

If they have a daughter, consider calling her Summer in my honour, please XD

I’d already planned that, dear. :) Not sure if they’ll ever get married, though, because I’m going to wait for mutual wants in this neighborhood, and if they do I’m not sure which surname they’ll keep. (And hyphenating is just weird, IMO. I mean, what happens when two people with hyphenated last names get married? Do you keep all four names and then the next generation there’s eight names, then sixteen, then....?) *ahem* Anyway, she might not be a “Choi.” :) If she ever exists. :)

rioa replied to your photoset “Household #2: Josie Ahn, Carmine Fortuna, and Sydney Carmichael Their...”

The RNG strikes again O_O It'll be interesting to see how they get along though since I've never had them in the same hood X)

So far? Well, I have played their household for a season now, and I don’t think it’s too much of a spoiler to say they mostly ignore each other. *laugh* Carmine and Sydney get along like a house on fire, though. Just platonically, because they’re both gay, but...Yeah, they’re buddies. Josie’s just kind of off in her own world, so far.

esotheria-sims replied to your photoset “Household #1: Georgia Eton and Dr. Oliver Little. Their house....”

A doctor who became a witch... so in other words, a Witch Doctor? :D *ba dum tss*

Well, *I* wasn’t going to say it, but....YEAH, EXACTLY! :D (Voodoo, I tell you, vooooooooodoooooooooo. :) )

penig replied to your photo “This is the “big reveal” of the queer hood’s real name. :) Its name is...”

I saw the logo and thought: Fire Island, how old school!

Yeah, that was actually kind of why I liked the name in Esperanto. Because speakers of English and the Romance languages are going to see “fire” in the name, and it’s kind of appropriate since I plopped a volcano on it. OR there’s the connotation of “flaming” gay men. All this even though the word has nothing to do with fire in Esperanto, except maybe in a figurative sense. Pride in being who you are could be seen as a sort of internal fire that can either make you warm and confident and glowing from the inside or burn you up if there’s too much of it, I suppose. So it works all around, I guess.

thewynd replied to your photoset “Household #1: Georgia Eton and Dr. Oliver Little. Their house....”

That is a first! Get abducted and become a witch...very clever!

Yeah, that’s the “alien experiments” mod. They can be turned into supernaturals or another kind of outcome instead of always knocked up. As much as I adore alien babies, I also like the variety the mod brings.

sparkstark replied to your photo “This is the “big reveal” of the queer hood’s real name. :) Its name is...”

That's so cool! What a good name, I've always named all my hoods in Latin and they sound.. old. Might switch them to Esperanto!

maksplaygroundsims2 replied to your post: maksplaygroundsims2 replied to your photo: ...

I have shadows off in my settings as well and then use this on top of it cause I still get it. I just put the cheat in when I start the game. I also restart the game every so often. This is the tumblr where I found it. marasims.tumblr.com/pos…

This is SO nice!! Will the hood be up for DL or is there a link to DL the blank version of it anywhere?!

Hmmm....Now that you mention it, since it’s empty of characters, I suppose I could upload a lot-less version of the neighborhood, the terrain plus the hood decorations. The whole thing, with the lots, would be WAAAAAAY too much CC, but I think the terrain + deco might be manageable? Some folks might already have all the CC needed for it, even. I’ll look into it when I have it done...
