Autism Awareness Day

Yes, this blog is normally used for sharing my builds over at The Sims 3 Exchange, but with Autism Awareness day upon us, I decided to light everything up blue to show support for Autism awareness and research, and to support some very dear friends of mine who have kids with Autism as well.  So all week I will keep this blog lit up blue and then it will return back to it's normal layout.  

However, I have decided that I'm going to build a community lot in support of Autism.  I'm working my plans out now and plan on releasing it on April 2nd to celebrate Autism Awareness Day.  Before I release it to the The Sims 3 exchange, I'll post all the details here complete with pictures.

If you'd like to show your support and learn more about Autism, check out the Autism Speaks which has all sorts of amazing information!

As always, Happy Simming!! 

A New Work In Progress

Sul Sul! I was bored yesterday so I decided to start working on a new house.  The lot I'm building on has proven to be a tad bit small.  It's one of those odd size lots, so I think I'll move it to a 50x50 or a 60x60 size lot.  But I try my best to steer clear of lots bigger than 50x50 because most people don't have the space in their games to place a home on a large 60x60 lot with out having to shuffle around a bunch of lots within their worlds.  So I always try to build on a 40x40 lot for easier placement.  But  if I'm building a very large home or a mansion, then I always use the largest lot possible.

Any who, this new home is a Mid Western Craftsman Style home..or Prairie style home.  It's a one story home with 2 bedrooms and a master bedroom suite.   It also has a 3 bay garage.  Here's a sneak peek of the exterior front.  Forgive the grids, since I don't have any live mode pics yet.

The picture isn't the final release, so it's bound to change.  The landscaping still needs work.  Be sure to let me know what you think. I love getting feedback and I do respond to anyone who comments.

Happy Simming!! :D 

Update On New WIP Collaboration w/ SummerFalls

Sul Sul!!

I hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend and a wonderful Monday! A few days ago, I finished up the exterior, floor plan and landscaping of the home that I'm working on with SummerFalls(blog) and passed it over to him so that he can work his furnishing and decorating magic.  I'm very excited to see what he does with it!! :)  If you would like to see a sneak peek of the home, check out SummerFalls showcase thread over at The Sims 3 forums here.  There is no deadline on this particular build, so it may be a few weeks before it hits the exchange.  Summer and I will keep you posted so keep checking back on our blogs or his showcase for updates! 

So I decided to jump on the Twitter bandwagon to help promote the blog.  If you'd like to follow me on Twitter, please do so! You can find me here: http://twitter.com/lessthanzero_13

I haven't done much Simming lately, nor building.  It's a shame, but all for good reasons.  It was a busy weekend and this is the last week of my work adjustment program I'm doing.  So starting next week, I shall return to my constant Simming, building and chatting with my fellow Simmers.  I'm looking forward to it, because I've missed y'all!  Just don't hate, I did play SimCity for a little while today and yesterday.  I actually kinda missed it, but I'm ready to get back to The Sims!

Does anyone have a Great Aunt Twana? When I went to the beach with my brother and cousin, we saw this out at the peer.  If this is your Aunt, happy belated birthday from lessthanzero!! :D But I imagine this is none of y'alls aunt. 

We also saw some alligators too while out at the beach! :D

             

Until next time, Happy Simming!!

Update of The Week

So there's lots of stuff going on for me IRL that I haven't had any time to play the Sims or do a lot of building.  I've got 2 houses that I've been working on, but need to finish one of them up like yesterday haha! Luckily, the one that I wanted to have done today is 85% complete.  I have a little bit of landscaping to do and one room left to decorate.  So Ollie, if you're reading..keep your eyes peeled in the next few days for your new home.  I'm currently doing a work adjustment program for Ticket To Work and it's been exhausting! I'm working for 5 hours and by the time I get home, I pass out on the couch.  Anyways, I hope to better adjust to my routine so I can put more focus back into building and playing.

So, looks like SummerFalls and I are going to do a collaboration on a build.  I'm looking forward to it and I think it'll be a lot of fun! Be sure to check out his creations over at his blog.  Summer is a very talented builder and I enjoy using his homes in my games!  SummerFalls Creative Legacy

Also if you're looking for some really cool builds, check out Rayna's creations over at her blog.  She always adds some really cool "secrets" in all of her builds.  I find it so hard to believe that she's only been doing this recently because she does some amazing work! Rayna's Outlook

So I added a blog roll on the main page and if you would like to be added to the list, let me know! I'm happy to help any Simmer that's looking for more exposure.

Happy Simming!!
