Sipping Tea...

I'd like to see photos too!!

I've been somewhat trying to organize some of my Sims 3 files and getting distracted with this and that.  It hasn't been a very productive day. lol

I got a very late start today. I was exhausted after doing a family dinner yesterday, slept hard for the first 3 hours and then I was awake for the next 3. I hate when that happens. I was very slow to get mobile and then I got caught up in browsing MTS. I keep trying to use as little CC as possible but I really dislike almost all the in-game kitchens so I've ended up digging into my CC reserves. I can't resist.

If it makes it more fun to play with custom content then go ahead and play with custom content. Find your happy medium!!

The more you play around with it and get more of a feel of what your comfort level is in regards is how much cc is too much, you'll find your happy medium.

For myself, I'd go CC for everything but if I want to share a build then I'd have to pare it down to original.
Using less also makes for less clutter. My biggest problem is that I'm not very good at keeping it organized. I started to on my old computer but not on this one. Just being lazy.

Do like you mentioned before, build the house/comunity lot building with base game/pack items. Save to Library to share.

Then take a copy and add CC windows, doors and whatnots.

As for keeping cc organized. I'm learning that as I go along. Right now most of my CC is hair. So it gets it's own folder.

The folders I have are:

1-AMF (Accessories, Makeup, Furniture and Misc)
2-CCHair
3-Patterns
4-Posters
5-Build (CC Windows, Doors, Arches, etc.)

Oh my gosh. I have so many categories, it's ridiculous.
Fortunately I don't have a lot of hair/clothes, accessories, etc.

I have a lot of decor items, rugs, lighting, art, table decor, plants, etc. In other words, lots of clutter.

No more of this today. I'm starving and it's time to start dinner (leftovers).

Later~~

I wanted to leave a little note -

I have noticed that even with getting notifications for this or that board, I don't get post notifications for each new post someone makes until I log in and see they've made a new thread. So please forgive me for any late responses.

----

As I was going through my notifications settings (Modify Profile > Notifications) I saw something that might help.  You might already know about this and I did too... But the reminder is good.

In the upper part of the Notification Settings it has an option Turn notifications on when you post or reply to a topic.



I just ticked that setting on, so that when I do forget to hit notify to someone's new thread I'll still get a notification of new posts.

Thanks, I've done that

[MrsFlynn]

You're welcome!! Hoping that will help in getting notifications for new posts and threads.  

I'd test it myself, but I don't get notified when making my own posts or threads. lol

[Lapaige46]

Thank you. I've done that.
