If only
POSTED ON

If only the \"Providence\" and \"Animals Abound\" Sets were free. They would go perfectly with Autumn Leaves. Its not so much that I\'m hoping that someone else will get them for me, but I won\'t use store objects that cost money, mostly because of the problems that a huge number of store objects cause with Create A World, and I don\'t want to make people pay extra for something that can cause problems.
But just look at them,
This is Providence,
Tell me that wouldn\'t be perfect for an Autumn themed world.
Now look at the Animals abound set.
Its so hard to create a nice looking kids bedroom with what little stuff comes with the game. I really hope that Late Night adds a few things specifically for children. I know its focusing on adults sims, but maybe just maybe.
Oh well, maybe I can create a few premium versions of some of my lots that could be downloaded separately. I really feel bad that I can\'t use either of them in the official Autumn Leaves map, without violating my \"no premium store objects rule\"
Stay tuned for more Info on my upcoming \"Autumn Leaves\" map. It will be a pretty nice town even without these objects, and I still have plenty of other other objects that I can use, including some free store objects. So its not a total loss.

Started New Town, Autumn Leaves

I\'ve already started my new town, Autumn Leaves. Yes I\'m a sadomasochist. Most people wouldn\'t start a new one so soon after giving up on another one, but even if I don\'t get Late Night when it first comes out, I want to try to make at least one more world before I get the expansion pack.
This one is going to be a small town with an autumn theme. The grass is going to be dry, and the only green plants are going to be either evergreen trees or in the well watered areas. Its going to extensively use the Harvest Bounty, and Halloween Treats sets for the atmosphere. Halloween will be approaching in the town of Autumn Leaves so expect to see some jack-o-lanterns. Also there will be some thanks giving decor, since that goes along with the fall as well.
In addition to a bunch of free store objects, it will require, World Adventures, Ambitions, and Fast Lane. World Adventures is absolutely necessary, otherwise, there won\'t be enough non green plants for me to choose from, plus I want to use some World Adventures specific lots, don\'t expect any tombs through. With Ambitions I will be able to create a more realistic town, since most of the its special lots can be found anywhere and would go great with my town. Also I might include some simbots in my saved game file. Autumn Leaves will also use Fast Lane since it will go pretty good with my theme. I also wanted to use the stuff pack to create a gas station. The map may or may not use High End Loft. I was originally intending to, but now that I think about it, I\'m not sure enough of the objects from that stuff pack will fit. However I will let you know if it will require High End Loft when I get closer to completion.

Gave up on Surfer's Paradise Due to corrupted lot files.

Sorry to have to tell you this guys. But Surfers\' Paradise is no more. I think the problem was caused by Some Custom Content that I installed by accident and than tried to delete. It came with someone elses map file. I need to be more careful from now on. I think I may have also accidentally deleted some Riverview objects, because they had the same symbol.
One of the corrupted lot files was an old one and it may have used some of the Riverview content, that I think I deleted by accident.
Anyway, I should start a new map file soon after I finish with a clean reinstall. It will have a different name and a different theme through. I hope it doesn\'t reinstall the CC this time. It did that the last time. I already tried that, and it reinstalled a bunch of the store objects and the CC. Hopefully it won\'t this time around.

I don\'t know if I will use it in Surfer\'s Paradise, or not.
But regardless, I\'m going to find out if I can make create a World Work with the new patch. Wish me luck!

Just Got Started on a New World About a Month ago.

I got started on a new map about a month ago. Sorry, that I didn\'t post any updates until now. I don\'t want to create a thread on it just yet, and I\'m not sure exactly what the requirements will be yet. However, I do know this, Surfer\'s Paradise, as I\'m planing to call it will require, the core game, (off course), World Adventures, Ambitions, High End Loft, and a bunch of free store objects. Its going to have a Tropical Beach Resort Theme. It won\'t be an Island. I don\'t know if Surfer\'s Paradise will require Late Night, yet. It depends on how long it takes for me to create it. If I finish it, before I have Late Night, I will release it without the expansion pack, if I get Late Night before I finish it, I\'ll add some, probably all of the things in Late Night.
I\'ll make a Surfer\'s Paradise thread, when Its closer to completion.
