    It helps to have an idea; working off a particular shape is always easier.

    Also, I've had fun before digging through my architecture books and attempting to copy the houses in the Sims (within reason!); that's really good practise too.

    Any more ideas? I like challenges!

    Oh man, you need the cheats enabled for that. I'm kinda averse to using cheats. Like there's a cheat to get items on diagonal walls but I don't want to use it.

    That's really cool, though! And are those custom cupboards in the kitchen or are they available in an expansion pack? Because I want!

    Bee House is the most amazing thing.

    But why is Mighty Joe Young attacking it?

    And I kind of want to live in Gabe House, like for real.

    you should make Hulk House look like it is torn in half. Like, basically two separate buildings with catwalks in between, and the walls between are jagged like someone ripped the entire thing in two.

    Janson, that's a bit more chunk than I had in mind.
    Wait what

    Anyway, love the ghost jukebox!

    Also, I made a rocking swimming pool for Gabe House only you can't see it in the update. But apparently Sim Bel liked it.

    That character model you provided a screenshot for is, uh, a bit beefier, shall we say, than I was thinking.

    (i posted that)

    also, people make all kinds of new body meshes. there is absolutely heaps and heaps of user content, and a lot of it is really amazing

    Whoops, sorry for the mix up, ladies.

    Oh man if only the Sims had curved walls :o

    I'll have a think about Hulk House.

    Doom House has been fun to build. Mori said 'like a cult complex' and I wasn't sure what one looked like so I just went for ugly and dark!

    Someone needs to do a house with forumers but set it strictly under free will and do it like the Goons. Prime directive, don't intervene at all and see how long it takes for the place to dissolve into madness. Run a blog on blogger.com or something for each Sim Day.

    I'd do it but goddamn finals week.

    Yeah. They've even got bands to come in and do simlish versions of their own songs, like "Free Radicals" by The Flaming Lips.

    I'm pretty sure the Goons that run Sim houses understate the amount of influence they exert on their Sims. After awhile my free-reign Sims basically develop a very boring routine of the same 2 or 3 things for fun, the same breakfasts/lunches/dinners, and I've never had Sims choose romantic interactions until after they're already crushing on one another, let alone WooHoo together.

    College Rock is pretty good, I figured some of the songs had to be adopted songs. They sound so familiar.

    This Conversation Is Over - Acceptance
    Beautiful Life - Charlotte Martin
    Outsider - The Daylights
    Sway - The Perishers

    These are the ones I really like from University. In fact, I was listening to a friend's iPod and heard This Conversation Is Over, and for a second wondered why it sounded so strange (it was in English!).

    Mysst - is their lifetime relationship (bottom bar) above 70? If so, have them relax together in a bed or get them in a hottub to woohoo.

    My sims love to WooHoo.

    Motherfuckers are horny.

    However, for whatever reason, if they fuck some sim and another sim they fuck is in the same lot, that other sim knows about it. It's like they've wired their room, just waiting to see if they cheat. One sim that was a player pissed off like four lovers that happened to be there all at once.

    The slapping was epic.

    I'm kinda serious, how do you get a sim to proposition another? I need to screw up some poor people.

    edit for Janson; I see. So just have them sit there? Aren't much into foreplay, are they?

    Janson, you wanna design my house?

    Like, my real house?

    I'm thinking steampunk with a little boner mixed in.

    Also, I want it futuristic, but like retrofuturistic with a hint of rock and roll and boners.

    Have them make out like ten times and you should get the option once they are relaxing.
