francien Great pictures! I miss Twinbrook, man, what a great town that was. The swamp made it feel so rural and you could feel like you're far away from civilization. Even Granite Falls doesn't seem as outdoorsy, and it's supposed to be!

Awesome pic, Francien! And yeah, the flat ground thing is annoying as heck. I too dident really think to much of it, until they removed the feature in TS4, like the hell EA?! And "funny" thing is that not all the lots are completely leveled either, so when I go to place a pool on some of the lots, I cant. Its incredibly frustrating, playing the game without money cheats and spending time on finishing your perfect family home and then all the sudden, a simple thing like you cant level the ground, mess everything up. If EA keep removing features then I'm afraid TS5 will just be like, already made houses, without the build feature and all you can do is use only one sim, simulatiing their whole life in first perspective and not being able to switch between other sims.... And I agree with OM, they dont need to add anything really, its pretty simple, all they need to do is to take the best of everything, and everyone will be happy. I just wished they would actually hire some die hard fans, who knows what the gamers really wants, and then do those things, instead of going "We all know you people been asking for ice cream, so we made this HUUUUGE pack to satisfy your needs" when there were only like 2% of people who requested it and they just simply could have added it in as a small object another EP, instead of making a whole SP. And then they are like "We did what you guys wanted.... We're awesome! Now we dont need to do toddlers, elevation tools, pets (for a while probably), weather and so on, because we gave the people an ice cream machine!" Thank you so much! I'm totally agree with you on all facts, it's frustating when you think on it..better not think to much and keep faith that EA one day get a big yellow plumbob above they're head lol and listen to as you said the die hard fans.

If at least we had a world building tool... We could create swamps, slums, proper deserts, urban landscapes, tropical islands, rural villages... But then EA would have nothing else to work on, they'd rely on modders to make worlds just like it is with objects now.

I missed your comment paika, I was surprised and in shock when i opend the game the first time and saw they already built world with no way of changing it, except for the lots. I hope they release some kind of world building tool - but Im sure it would be pretty big and we would have to pay a bunch of cash for it, if they did it.

That would be great, a world buildingtool, but I don't expact anything. I think the Sims has become greater because of all the clever people who have been modding and meshing to make the game much much nicer. When you only had EA Content thus the plain games, I think a lot of those cd's would have make a trip to the bin or drawer. So I'm really happy with all those people who maked the sims as how it is..okay Sims 4 need a few heavy updates imo, but I gues everone has his own thought about that. Wish they would listen indeed and not being so greedy Have a nice sunnyday autumnday, my garden is full of colors..red in different shades,also the yellowleaves etc..that is the only part I love of this season :D

Lol, you are right must updated the thread..thank you paika nice of you I hope there is a "market"for I'm a little unsure about my own taste on the moment. In this case I'm trying to complete an vintage shabbychic set for the whole house but I think it's a bit to much..seen so many flowers and old wood that it's time to go for the other side. I like Industrial too and would love to learn the basic of meshing only Blender is for me a bit Abacadabra I will search for an dutch translation so I learn to understand what everything means. In the meanwhile I go on with recoloring EAstuff..o man I missing my downloads

Lol - that's the biggest issue with my backside. I have an unemployed neighbour who seems to think he run this neighbourhood. As soon as someone opends their door, he comes running out and "overseeing" everything. So when I try to have some BBQ or just sit and relax on my backside, he comes out everytime and sit and listens to everything you say or watch everything you do. So creepy..... I love gardens, and my dream is to have a little house in the countryside with a nice garden Im glad you had a lovely day by the beach. I dident know it still was hot enough there for doing things like that. We have full on fall weather here I LOVE that union jack chair (everything else too ofcourse) And those beddings look so cute too, the first one really says Spring and the second one really says Fall. Love it!

francien I like industrial style too! As for Blender, you don't really need to know it, if you know another program. I edit my 3D meshes and only import it into Blender to add the stuff that makes it usable in S4S. Works fine with all the furniture, it's harder with CAS items. I think I only made one working accessory, but didn't like it so I deleted it. I kinda get stuck on that weight transfer part, I somehow made it work once, but can't remember how. J Mzungu Your creepy neighbor is most likely mentally ill. I hope you don't talk to him, cause things can get really ugly with such people.

francien - I love shabbychic & Industrial too, some think that's a super wierd combo but I always say "My style is a mix match - I like the best of the best" paika - I know! He is insane, most probably a psychopath in my view. He has done so many insane things here, I cant even. (as the kids would say.... said this 25 year old) A bunch of people have made themselfs enemies with him and his tried with me and my roommate too, but we know how to talk around it, so he hasent recived any "excuses" to snap on us. So he kinda gave up on making enemies with us, but when he sits on his balcony and looks down on us or tries to listen to us, I feel like throwing up a bomb on his balcony and get rid of him. He may be a psychopath but I come from a family tree filled with diagnoses and insane people - so he cant fool me!
