i love that screen. very clear.

That’s my old screen, connected with a DVI cable. Once the new computer is finished being built, I’ll move it over to my main desk and hook it up to my two newer monitors via HDMI cables. Then it should be really, really clear! :-)

people i know who have the pump love it. i hope it works out for you! <3

Thanks! I hope it works out too. My consultant has been trying to convince me for the last two years or so, to have a pump. I kept putting him off because I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. I’m still not sure and with all the problems I’ve had, there have been more than a couple of times I’ve just wanted to give up and give it back but I’m persevering now that I’m getting used to it. :-)

Glad you're feeling better! My hubby has diabetes too, he was diagnosed in 2010.

Thanks! Is your hubby using a pump too? I hope he’s doing okay. :-)

It's beautiful! The whole thing! I took a similar picture when I reinstalled all by disc so I can be on good ol' patch 1.67. I'm pretty sure we have the same computer case. lol

Thank you! I saw your picture yesterday. Very nice collection! Patch 1.67 is the best! I’ve never experienced 1.69 and I never want to lol! Do you have the same computer case? Mine is a Cooler Master MasterBox 5 System Builder Edition MCY–B5S1–KWYN–04 and I absolutely LOVE it! :D

Ha! I never thought of copy and paste but what on earth is a PIM notebook? I’m intrigued! :-)

When I look at my discs all I see is £££ (but worth every penny ;p)

Haha! I never remember how much I paid for anything I’ve bought, especially when it was so long ago. What is it now? Eight years? Definitely worth every penny seeing as they’ve lasted so long lol!

wow LOL

desiree-uk replied to your photo“New Computer 2017 This really made me laugh! I use a little program...”

lol, how perceptive :)

Hehe! I love that little Unchecky program. It’s so clever it even knows that Origin is a bad program as well lol! ;-)

desiree-uk replied to your photoset“New Computer 2017 Added the graphics card and rear case fan. That fan...”

Ooh, that looks good! I love when building new PCs everything is so nice and CLEAN! No dust lol. I'm quite pleased with my setup in that the fans are doing a great job blowing the dust out so I don't have to open it up to clean it lol

Haha! I don’t think my new PC is so very nice and clean. It’s been so hot here lately I’ve had all the doors open plus my desk fans and ceiling fans blowing the dust about everywhere! I have to keep dusting the new computer before I can take pictures of it lol!

Oh, and are you sure your computer doesn’t have any dust inside? I don’t think it matters how many fans you have or where they’re placed, there’s still going to be dust and it should be blown out at least twice a year. Just ask Carey Holzman - Blow Out Your PC With A Leaf Blower ;-)

Looks so good! I'm jealous of your cable management skills. ;)

newlibertysims replied to your photoset “New Computer 2017 Swapped the two red fans over to the Corsair ones...”

I second @mspoodle1!

Thanks Mel & NewLiberty! To be honest, I’m a bit obsessed with the cabling. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve rearranged the cables in my current PC since I built it two years ago lol! Luckily, this new Master Cooler case has loads of tie-down points in just the right places and I’m really looking forward to using them all! ;-)

desiree-uk replied to your photoset “New Computer 2017 The very first Power On Self Test was a success!!!...”

lol, I do like those fans, but I did say the Corsair ones were a good brand, so that's okay ;p Always go with what YOU like, you're the one whose going to be looking at it all day lol (welcome back, by the way :DD)

Yep! Corsair is definitely a good brand! Glad you approve lol! ;-) And yes, looking at it all day is what I’m going to be doing when it’s finally finished lol! ;-)

Yeee these look fantastic! Take care dear ❤❤

Haha! I think I knew you would like the red fans best but I went with the Corsair ones in the end. Sorry! :-)

Thank you very much! In hindsight, I needed all the luck I could get lol!

Gameplay Replies

I can’t believe I’m so far behind in replying! I thought I was fairly up-to-date! So sorry everyone. There are so many comments I’ve split them up into two posts so here are the gameplay replies first. :-)

tangie0906 replied to your photo “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Well, it seems we have a new Resort Desk worker...”

I'm testing a lot in Riverview ATM and get new register operators and paps every hour (just a slight exaggeration).

I think both register operators and paparazzi are role sims and therefore controlled by NRaas Register (if you have it installed) whereas the Resort workers are controlled by the Resort Tower Rabbit Hole. Just going on my rusty memory for this so I could be completely wrong though. :-)

tangie0906 replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Baby Sally doesn’t like the rain and Thornton...”

Same - I've seen them do it before, but normally mine put them pack in the crib before doing something else (home). Haven't seen sims take babies out of the house for a while so no idea about community lots.

I’m always seeing sims just dumping their babies on the floor, both at home and on community lots. It was really surprising (to me) to see Jamie still holding baby Sally when she sat down. :-)

willky12 replied to your photo “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Well, it seems we have a new Resort Desk worker...”

Not that was the cleaner I was thinking of, the resort workers change often in my game it seems

Oh no! Mr Disco has gone? ;)

It took me a while to understand this lol! So Mr Disco is the cleaner who's called Ernest Borden, yes? If so, no, he hasn’t gone. It’s Franklin Holt (the Resort Desk Worker) that disappeared and has been replaced by Ron Whitcombe. Maybe Franklin will surprise us and come back one day. :-)

willky12 replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Baby Sally doesn’t like the rain and Thornton...”

They sometimes do it in my game, but not I lot I have to say

Oh really? Well, maybe it is normal behaviour. Not sure why I’ve never seen it before then. :-)

willky12 replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Well, at least we have a couple of sensible...”

Floozy hahahaa!

It’s one of those great old-fashioned words that I love to use every now and again. ;-)

newlibertysims replied to your photo “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Oh my goodness! Shut your eyes everyone! Sammie is...”

Such a tease! :D

Who’s a tease? Me or Sammie? ;-)

newlibertysims replied to your photo “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Ernest has decided he needs to wear glasses and...”

I just love that sweeping animation. It's such a nice touch. :)

Looks a bit weird when they sweep the grass or sand though lol! ;-)

newlibertysims replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Well, at least we have a couple of sensible...”

Looks like she's got her eye on Thornton! LOL

Oh yes! So it does! I didn’t notice that at the time! Very remiss of me but not very surprising behaviour from her lol!

newlibertysims replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Baby Sally doesn’t like the rain and Thornton...”

That's so cute! I think it's normal behavior in TS3.

Is it? I didn’t think it was. Oh well, never mind. I’m just glad I saw it happen. :-)

desiree-uk replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Baby Sally doesn’t like the rain and Thornton...”

Babe in arm questions answered: 1. No it doesn't, so it's nice to see it happening :) and 2. Yes they do! Constantly! And no, you are not :D

Thank you for confirming I wasn’t imagining things. I didn’t think I’d ever seen a sim sit down in a chair whilst still holding their baby on a community lot before. So I’m now wondering, what made that happen in my game? :-)

desiree-uk replied to your photoset “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Well, at least we have a couple of sensible...”

* 'Floozy' *giggles* I know I always laugh at that word, I can't help it :D

Lol! It’s good to giggle! :D

marimidnight replied to your photo “Wk 19 - Thur - Yr 4 Oh my goodness! Shut your eyes everyone! Sammie is...”

WOW!! :D

Haha! He is a bit of a sight for sore eyes, isn’t he lol! ;-)

willky12 replied to your post “Hi there! I recently just got ambitions and I use a lot of NRaas'...”

I use Integration and it does alter these items but I am still able to use them as before. Something is not working as it should.

Hmmm.....I’m wondering what’s not working but will sort it out when/if I do ever get to play a Stylist. :-)

tangie0906 replied to your post “Hi there! I recently just got ambitions and I use a lot of NRaas'...”

It's been a while since I played a Stylist, but I don't think the Station is needed to do make-overs. That's so you can do them anywhere.

Oh right! I didn’t know this. Thanks for telling me. I will get around to playing a Stylist one day lol!

Well, look at her, she so cute! I do like her eyes too :)

Yes, her eyes are very unusual. Sort of a soft hazel, I think. Must remember to change her clothes when I load the game up in a minute. :-)

I’m glad you recognised it. I’m afraid I have no idea who made it otherwise I would’ve added the link. Apologies to the creator if they’re reading this. :-)

Aww! Yep, that topic sounds about right lol

Poor little Conor. The heir to the whole Landgraab fortune. I wonder what’s going to happen to him in the years ahead. It’s going to be fun finding out! :D

Yes, that’s right! He’s gonna need to be, I imagine lol! ;-)

Yeah, creative writing......I’ll agree with that lol! ;-)

That's fabulous and I love Tagger, I find it one of the most useful mods, especially when testing a world!

Yep, it certainly is, I agree and I especially LOVE the fact that Chain added the option to see the sims’ ages in years (which are tied to the seasons) at my request. Made me very happy indeed! :D

It looks good in any case ;)

Thanks! Glad you like it! :-)

willky12 replied to your photo “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 Just as he was leaving, this message popped up…...”

That's correct as above, it's kinda funny though, sorry Sammie ;)

Thanks for confirming. It’s also kind of daft if you ask me but then, we all know this game can be very daft at times lol! ;-)

desiree-uk replied to your photoset “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 I thought Jamie was going to jump in for a swim but...”

So cool :) I would use MasterController and cheat a bit by making the following Monday be a holiday too if Bank Holiday falls on a Sunday hehe :)

Oh, how do you do that? I’ve never thought about doing that before so haven’t got a clue. :-)

tangie0906 replied to your post “Replies”

I figured you'd already thought of I_A's mods but thought I'd mention it. Can't wait to see what you come up with. :)

No worries! Let’s hope Sammie makes some money fast so I can put my plan into action soon! :-)

desiree-uk replied to your photo “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 Thanks to @simsmitfeingefuehl I had the idea of...”

Oh, good tip for Tagger :)

You’re welcome! :-)

what's going on in that laundry room? ROFL

I’m hoping it’s only laundry lol! ;-)

willky12 replied to your photoset “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 The Caravan Park is a hive of activity! Tristan and...”

Great! You know backpackers always have laundry to do ;)

Oh yes, of course! Having never been backpacking myself, I didn’t think of that but of course, it makes perfect sense! :D

willky12 replied to your post “Replies”

So I take it then that Sammie didn't make any money, or did he actually lose money?

Yes, that’s right, he didn’t make any money but he didn’t really lose any money either. Having said that though, I suppose it depends on the way you look at it. He’d already paid for the stock so technically, the whole household owns it anyway and the children just took what they wanted off the shelves. On the other hand, he’s lost the profit he would have made if those items had been sold to a customer so, you could say he’s lost money that way. :-)

desiree-uk replied to your photoset “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 Look who came to see the new Caravan Park! It’s...”

The locals are visiting too! :) Oh dear @ Lorena and Tristan arguing :O

Yes, even the residents are turning up! It’s great! I’m taking note of which sims they are so when I actively play their household (if it’s one of the households in my rotations caste, like Tanner Worthington), I’ll let them stay a couple of nights at the Caravan Park, especially if they’ve actually bought something from the Camping Shop! :D

desiree-uk replied to your photoset “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 The Caravan Park is a hive of activity! Tristan and...”

I love it when there's a lot of activity too :) I should try and enable tourists one of these days lol.

One of my favourite things to do is just watch a load of sims together, to see what they get up to. Usually, the result is hilarious lol! I was a bit dubious allowing tourists at first, having read all the horror stories about them over the years but they’re not that bad really. Some are a bit strange looking though lol! ;-)

Maybe you could try Icarus_allsorts resort buffet mod to choose the food at least? http://modthesims.info/d/523377

Yes, that’s what I did the last time I added the buffet to the lot. I’ve had icarus’ mod installed for a while now but thanks for the idea. I didn’t like having the buffet table outside before, as that’s not very realistic in England. It rains too much, even in summer lol! I’ve been thinking lately though, that it may be possible to extend the shop and add a couple of tables & chairs with the buffet table so it won’t look so out of place. As soon as Sammie gets some more money together I’ll try it out. Thanks again for giving me the idea! :-)

simsmitfeingefuehl replied to your photo “Wk 18 - Fri - Yr 4 Just as he was leaving, this message popped up…...”

Usually you get this messages when you visit bars and clubs and the lot you visit is not the hot spot of the day/ night. Basically it says that there is another place in the neighborhood where more Sims are gathered.

Oh right! Thanks for letting me know! I still haven’t played with bars and clubs yet so I had no idea. Now I need to find out which lot it is that’s attracting them more than the Campsite. Hmmm.....you’ve given me an idea. I’ll be back with some pictures soon. Thanks again! :-)

Nice! Do you have one of the Resort buildings some place on the lot? I've never played a resort so not sure how it works!

Yes, I have one of the Resort Tower Replacement Doors by Misty, hidden in the basement under the Camping Shop. I took a picture when the silly mixologist became stuck down there. Unfortunately, I can’t give you a link to the doors because they’re only available on request from Misty but she does have the link for the Island Paradise Rabbithole Rug on her Downloads page which I think is the same thing. :-)

This is something else I was trying out in my testing town while I wasn’t posting much. I had it running pretty good using The Windfall Motel from MTS so I’m hoping it’s going to work just as well with the caravans although I do need to try and remember exactly how I had it all set up. ;-)
