At Home With Chuckles - It's here! Orbital Planes

[Chuckles_82]

Yes, the dive well was meant to be a bit of a joke. It is free in buydebug, so adds no value, but it adds a bit of a focal point

[Anushka]

So many creative ideas here, I'm amazed. Specially with that painting alike wall covering and parking lot! I also love the lilac pallette and hints of red in white/gray/black design. It looks very sophisticated, fantastic job!

And also, fantastic job on that table in first post, it looks great and it is easy to navigate trough, thank you for taking time to do it

[Chuckles_82]

It was my pleasure You directed me to the right place so I could find out how to do it To start with it wasn't as important, but I knew I was going to need it as the number of uploads grew. I didn't know how originally, so your post came just the right time!

The last one was inspired as I searched for ways to add custom content to my game, without actually using custom content in my uploads (I was browsing one of the major the CC sites and found myself really wanting a lot of their paintings. I'm thinking that if I photograph those though, that I will need to credit them - it wouldn't be fair not to, because it's almost like stealing them). And because I had a VERY tight budget after all the basics were in place, photos were perfect. After the first photo of the day, they are all worth next to nothing, but look amazing.

My biggest building tip would be: Wallpapers and patterns are your friend - use them creatively!

I like what I see and I hope to see more. 

You should drop by the showboat thread, it's a great place to show off and ask for input and suggestions.

[Chuckles_82]

Thanks Danefaith, I have been watching the showboat thread. If I get really stuck on a build I may post in there - I nearly did the other day because I couldn't get my sports club to not look boxy, but in the end I modified the structure enough.

I came here to download pally's mini and ended up downloading most of the houses here, there is some really good things in here, like the use of the costume paintings, slopped driveways, and so many refreshing Ideas !                   

[Agneza]

All your houses are really very, very nice, but "Your Quarters" is amazing !!! I LOVE it

[Chuckles_82]

Thankyou to everyone for the lovely comments so far. Just an update, since it's been a while since I added anything new:

I've recently found a bit more motivation to work on my world in CAW. I've added the new spawners (although anyone working with CAW will find that they have to be added in-game on lots - unless you want to mess with package editors - and I do not), the theatre and several new houses. I've had to make just one of the lots 35x35 (all the rest remain 15x15) because unfortunately horses don't like stairs, so I couldn't make a shell for the equestrian centre. I've modified some of my current builds to add to the world - among them 'Your Quarters, Dr Rush', Pally's Modern Mini/Small Modern Townhouse, and Zenadu - which is now Mini Zen (the only lot I have really managed to name).

In a few days when I export my next version of the world for play testing, I will upload some preview images here and to the showboat thread.

Since I'm really terrible at naming things, I'm going to ask for some help with naming my lots, and would also love to hear ideas for a name for my world (I have a couple in mind).

Childhood's End

http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4938297

I really only threw this tiny world together in one day. I was inspired by a world in Stargate Atlantis - the episode is called Childhood's End. The people of this world only live to the age of 25. If you were to play this world with mainly children, you would play with testingcheats on so that you could summon NPCs as needed, and populate the world with families without adults. If you find you are having too many adult NPCs spawn, you can age them up til Grimmie comes.

I have only created one type of tree-house and placed multiple copies over the island - I'll leave it up to others' creativity to branch out (sorry, couldn't help it) and make different types.

For those of you tired of sims making tonnes and tonnes of money, all that can change with this story. Only the children can make the money in this world - be it selling items they have made or cake stalls, it will be much slower than playing adults with careers.

All the spawners except the fresh water fish, seeds (just a special 4 spawner) and the pets spawners have been added - including the WA spawners because children can't travel on their own. I haven't included plants or seeds because children can't garden. If you choose to allow teenagers to garden, you can always add the plants yourself from buy debug.

To create and save a family without adults:

Create a family in CAH - you must have at least 1 adult
Move the family into a house and play
Pause
Turn testingcheats on
Shift+click the adult and select Edit in create a sim
Change the age of the adult to a child or teenager
Return to game
Go to Edit town
Evict the family without the house
Click the family on the left-hand side of the screen and choose save to library

You now have a family without adults which you can use to start populating the world Included below is a sample family consisting of 1 female toddler, 1 male child and 1 female teen.

Recommended settings:
Life span: Epic
Baby - 7 days
Toddler - 14 days
Child - 140 days
Teen - 14 days (longer may be necessary for extended play as you need at least a teenager to care for babies and toddlers your adults have/adopt before they die)
Young Adult 2 days
Adult - 2 days
Elder - 2 days

I am so happy I stopped by here!

I think my favorite upload is the Childhood's End world. I really like the idea of playing as children only, and seeing what happens. Life is so simple - no romance, hardly any drama... But then again - you have to work and you're only in grade school. - And by work, of course I mean gather/make things.
