Thanks for the link to the stairs. I'm thinking of reorganizing my files as soon as the Cape Albacore world is completed, and have one Sims 3 document file with only EA content and separate one with CC. That way it will be easy to build for challenges with restrictions and still have some games where I can incorporate CC. I've got a running list of CC I want to add some day, and I added the stairs to the list.

Love your Island Paradise idea. It's good to take a break from things and try something new once in awhile. If Island Paradise gets too laggy or crashes remove/move the family that lives on the houseboat and remove all houseboats that you aren't using. These can create issues, I've been told. But you probably already knew that.

Having separate Sims 3 Document folders is a great idea. It's something I do and have done for a few years or so now. Build, play w/cc and testing. lol

I'm always impressed with MrsFlynn's sorting and note taking. I wish I could be that organized. Sorting my gigabytes of CC is my project for the year. I have so much of it it's embarrassing.
Al my store content got dropped from my game but I have it all back now. I should have just left well enough alone when M-soft decided I needed W11. Learning to use it would have been easier than dealing with the aftermath of chaning it back.
Fortunately I have most of it stored on an external HD so I didn't lose it all but thanks to Debacle M-soft, I'm having to replace a lot of it so that's what I've beeen working at this week in addition to playing around with IP.

For days I've been trying to find just the right spot for my new McDermitt family. I found a spot I really like but I'm having a problem making it work. Once again I'm trying to make the game do what it's not designed to do. . The biggest issue is trying to fit a round peg into a square hole - ie: the Bahama Breeze house won't go where I want it to without issues so I'm trying to create a fix. I may just have to build a similar hoouse but my eyes/brain aren't fully cooperating.

I've lost Bender Dunnitt so I'm going to recreate him and put him in IP. Hi character will fit one of the characters in the book series I'm reading.  That character's name is DJ but I like the name Bender Dunnitt so I'm going to continue with that. I am going to give him a "love interest" who is another character in the book.

It dawned on me earlier (in the wee hours of the am when I seem to do most of my thinking instead of sleeping) that Jesse and Savannah have a daughter. Jesse and Savanna had a brief affair years ago and daughter Florence was the result. Jesse didn't know about her until he reconnected with Savannah 9 years later. Savannah wasn't sure Flo was Jesse's daughter because whe was married - though separated at the time she and Jesse met.

So, I'm going to add a teenage daughter to the family which means the Bahama Breeze house won't work because it's only 2 bedrroms and I'm sure a teenage girl won't want to share a room with her 8 y/o brother.

Thank you for the compliment.

I would -love- to help if I could, but would need access to the files.  However, what I've seen from screenshots of your mods folder we have a similar sub-folder system, so building off that would be a great way to continue.

I vote on a house build challenge. lol -- Got the idea when I saw the floorplan of the house the other day. *Big Grin*

Build a house for the family, based on the floorplan of the original house shown here in an earlier post.

You would get to participate if you'd like and pick the winner or the build you want for the family.

I like the idea of a challenge but that house isn't big enough to add a third bedroom. I already tried. It also won't fit properly in the place I want it.

What we could do for a challenge is build a tropical style house that we could exchange and use in our own worlds.

[MrsFlynn]

I like that idea!!

What's the lot size that you're looking to put the house?

[Lapaige46]

Probably no bigger than 40x40 to leave room for porches/patios, etc. And lots of CC allowed.

[MrsFlynn]

Okay. Do you want me to make a build thread for it or do you want to make one?

[Lapaige46]

You can go ahead if you want. I have a few other things I need to get done today (aside from the game. Real life intrudes at times. )

[MrsFlynn]

Okie-dokie. I'll do that.
