New houses in my bin!!

I'm too lazy to find the link, but pixel and I were discussing how to package a lot so it'll show up in your house bin.

Obviously, I'm the last person on the planet to do this.  It's painfully simple.  Just click the button.

 

Then it tells you it saved it to your "packaged lots" folder.  Then you just close the game, go to your "packaged lots" folder and RENAME the file (I just put an 'a' after the street number).  Then install the content.  VIOLA, the houses will show up in your bin.



I now have houses from La Fiesta Tech (those would be the ones on sand in this pic), houses from Downtown (ones with gray terrain) and houses from Blue Water Village (little one, top left).



AND, houses from Pleasantview, Veronaville, and Fox Piss Hollow (crap, what is the real name of the Season's neighborhood?).



SEVENTEEN new abodes, to be exact.

Including one that I'm sure will become the new dwelling for Fava Bean Pollinator.



This one is from Fox Piss Hollow.  Groovy, huh?



Cozy little bachelor pad (first floor).



And second floor.  In case you were wondering, you can fit a double bed in the bedroom area, so Fava won't HAVE to sleep alone (or he'll have a place for Zondek to sleep should the lad stay the night).

Since I'm spamming about my new houses, check out THIS blast from the past.



Recognize it?



It's the groovy little shack in Pleasantview, the one with the outdoor shower.  Maybe I should banish Mother XYZ to this lot?

Ooh, I have some fun Peculiar stuff coming up.

But I can't say anymore, lest I spoil it.



"Ninny, ninny.  Boo, boo.  I know and I won't tell you!"

Oh, Albert, you cute little tease.

There needs to be a way to rename Riverblossom Hills to Fox Piss Hollow.

A lot of the Downtown lots are great starter homes. Nice to have somewhere else besides the defaults. :)

And the default name is Riverblossom Hills, I think.

I can't believe I put up with JUST the basic houses this long. I'm such a goof.

(it is Riverblossom Hills, but I had to look it up to confirm--I honestly couldn't remember)

I didn't want to use the same houses from the Outskirts in later places. The Legacies started with your generic "build it from the ground up" look, but now I move them into prebuilt homes. It's easier. And Maxis has given us a lot of homes to choose from, with all the subhood lots.

(BTW, did you miss the Sinjin fic this week?)

Damn, I've had this game for forever and I didn't know that

Hee hee. So I'm NOT the last person to learn this. I thought for certain I was.

Go forth and spread houses from one neighborhood to the next!

YOU are the tease! Not Albert! *sticks out tongue*

This is great. You have so many cool houses now. I love that tiki hut house. Alas, I can't have it (until I can get Seasons). *shakes fist at student loan people* Hurry up with my money!

I should go trawling through the neighborhoods for houses, now... I never even noticed that little shack in Pleasantview.

Me? Tease? You, ma'am, are mistaken. It's all Albert. He's teasing you like he was teasing Percy when they were getting their makeout on in bed. . .but I'm afraid I've said too much.

I was going to offer to de-Seasons the tiki house for you, but I think the thatch roof is Seasons. With no thatch roof, there's really no point to the house. Fava is enjoying his new abode, too.

The little shack in Pleasantview is back near that water tower (kind of behind the trailer park area Brandy lives in). The Veronaville houses are nice, too, like little compounds. You get two buildings on one lot. I haven't used any yet to see if they're functional (or what I'd have to fix to make them functional) but they look nice from the outside.

I deleted Veronaville, unfortunately. I know I can get it back, but I feel lazy about it.

Yeah, I think that thatch roof is Seasons. No worries, I will get it eventually.

Albert... I share you with Mme. U., and look how you treat me now. *sigh*

I have corrupted your sweet Akbar, turning him into the dirty tease, Albert. He's going to figure prominently in the next round of Peculiar updates.

I'm hoping to get at least one or two out before vacation.

I've never even thought about doing this. What a great idea!

I love that hidden shack in Pleasantview.

*grins* It's so nice to know I'm not alone (on the "never thought of that" front).

That's a good idea, packaging and reinstalling. There are houses available for download, of course, but very very few are actually playable, no matter how pretty/funky they are. I have a set of six called cheap starter, from MTS2, that I use a lot, with appropriate remodels based on the number of offspring I plan to give my victims, er...sims. I got a couple from a link someplace on your journal, too; I tried 'em out last night and liked 'em muchly. I think it was the same site the one tile pet beds are at.

I've never downloaded a house. I'm always worried it will have some content I can't use (so it won't work at all) or have some funky hack that upsets my game.

I LOVE the one tile pet beds.

The ones I got from the one tile pet bed site are empty, no CC, nothing but base game stuff. They're small starters, suitable for college kids who've just graduated, or singles, or a couple with no kiddos.

I started off my newest favorite alien family - Finn and Andromeda Caradoc in a two bedroom, then added a floor. Now they've got two little alien kiddos, a pink puppy, and enough room to skill without the annoying 'I can't go here' whine. I like the Caradocs and their house more than I like my Legacy family at the moment.

My founder, Arkadia Legacy, is carrying on madly with Malcolm Landgraab...and I didn't do it! I took Tara the cat chick to a community lot to get some decent clothes, and there was Arkadia, carrying on with Malcolm! They spontaneously made out. Since I was playing Tara, neither of the others was controllable. I 'bout fell over.

Her husband is gonna freak. If he finds out. He's not too bright, so he might not. Arkadia's not even a romance sim. I made her a family sim so I could get through the first three generations without major hassle. *mutters dire threats at the faithless Arkadia* I gave her a custom neighborhood, flipped aging off till she found the right guy, let her have all her wants, and this is how she repays me. By boffing Landgraab when I'm not looking. If I were any good at pic taking, I'd blog her, but I'm not.

I'd love to see all of it (I love aliens and Malcolm Landgraab--he throws ugly children). As long as you can see what's going on in the pic, I'd look at it.

I know what it is with Arkadia. . .she likes Malcolm's MONEY. *snicker* Reminds me of "Spaceballs". Dark Helmet's playing with his dolls. . ."You're attracted to money and power. I have both and you KNOW it."

Heh. I might take a pic or two and see if I can figure out how to get 'em onto my IJ or my LJ or myspace. It's gotta be the money. Her hubby is gorgeous and sweet and brings in decent money, but you know those legacy founders, always wanting more.

Getting "White Space of Doom"?

Defeat "White Space of Doom" by adding "?style=mine" to the end of the post's URL.
