vab423: my advice is c) As you had it working why mend what wasn't broke

I shall do some investigating and see if another option comes to mind.

One more time!...  Now I remember why I didn't do this a long time ago.. lol

OK, version 1.03 of the Mobile homes is up, and shoud finally be fixed.  What I had done was switch from the Building Family that GrampaAl used, to the one I had made. Made sense... except I had only made Building exemplars in that family.. no props... argh.  So I added the prop exemplars as well, and they are included in the new installer.

Third time seems to be a charm; this worked for me.  TY, TY, TY!

[SimGoober 2,351]

I just uploaded two new ones, which are actually older BATs I did a while back.  If anyone was interested in the big Suburban Mall I did months ago, there was a restaurant on the lot; Panera Bread Company.  I made that and the Pizza Kitchen to use on those lots, but never used the Pizza Kitchen.  I always intended to make separate lots for them, but never got around to it..

One more thing off the todo list..

Thanx for all the awesome lots.It's great to see at least one BSC member is still alive and kicking.

 

                                Happy Holidays.

Barbyw, shhh! Don't tell SimGoober, but he was the one actually doing all the work.    I, of course, would have also picked c), but I don't know how anal SG is about having things work they way they're intended.  I'll usually drive myself crazy if something isn't working the way I expect it to.  Take my turkey, for example, which was supposed to be ready at 3.  At 3, when it wasn't even halfway done, I checked a dozen or so web sites trying to figure out if a brined turkey took longer to cook than a regular one.  (Of course, knowing that information didn't make it cook any faster and we still ended up eating at 6)

Please stop.  Some of us who can't stop acquiring fantastic creations to enhance their games are actually not able to play the game because we spend so much time downloading.

 

Hi, I'm Vicki, and I'm a downloadaholic.  Yesterday I spent two hours online and downloaded 2 SimGoober originals, 8 updated lots and 6 of Barbyw's megalots.  I can't play SC for more than 15 minutes at a time before the next urge to check the STEX hits me.

[+Guest]

A few weeks without the only the BSC left uploading awesome Lots to STEX are you bloody nuts.Hey if others want to fingerpaint that is there business but my cities only hang masterpieces from the team of BSC,PEG and a few others.

  Upload they will download.

[RebaLynnTS 275]

Before you stop uploading, I could really use those irrigation canal lots I asked for

1. A four way.

2. A drop down from one level to another.

3. A pump lot for going uphill.

 

Thank bunches.

Grumpy?  You're lucky, I get homicidal.  I ran out of places to hide the bodies over Thanksgiving weekend.

Cool, I must have missed it some how, sorry. And, thanks.

On the malls, we REALLY need an over road piece (preferably over avenue). I'm not afraid for it to be a prop (saves you doing the lotwork) but since I can't BAT (and never will be able to, since gMax is no longer available - DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP YOUR COPY!) it's kind of a not-doable at my end.

Don't mind me, just throwing a few ideas around...

[SimGoober 2,351]

cammo, you lost me there... you want a bridge for something?

[Simen 1]

well, he lost me too completely so...

Anyways, arent you BATing any more? we havent seen a preview in ages!

[pogoboymtk 9]

I think he means a piece like this....

ahh. I get it.  I'm not working on any malls right now though.  I started one a few weeks ago, but didn't like what it was growing into so I moved on.  Been quite busy with RW for a bit now, and using my spare time to play the game some more.  I'll start work on the Grain Exchange building soon though.  Or at least I hope to.

Acually it is still available ... here http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

That is where I got it a few weeks ago.

[Pheonix Rising 2]

SG, any plans on doing another ships at anchor update using whatever technique peg used to self level the sea lots? Would make things easier on some of us

Anyway, can't wait to see what ya have coming out next. I had to go through all your lots again yesterday to make sure I had everything up to date. Man that was a long process lol

[Fairlane500 8]

I just had a though for a request today.

Any chance of updating the Costco with the adition of a gas station? It seems nearly every one around here, except the Kirkland location (How ironic) has a gas station on the premises.

That's fine, just thought I'd throw the idea out into the air. After all, it's better to have it known that somebody's interested.

I'd do it myself, but you can't get gMax anymore, so that's kinda the end of that...

Date: 11/27/2005 1:19:08 AM Author: ardecila Mexicanboy13r: That's a sidewalk prop.  SG uses them so he can freely place the sidewalk and align it with the building entrance.

quote>

Of course I knew that, Just how it's placed. Doesn't look correct....

 

Date: 11/27/2005 7:39:33 AM Author: SimGoober

And yep, that is a sidewalk prop, though I am not sure why it is showing up in that layout.  In mine, the sidewalk goes under the building, so only the part needed between the door and parking lot shows up. .something else to investigate.

quote>

 

Well it isn't a big deal? But I was just a little curious because of how it looked and where it is located and no it isn't on not hill it's on straight flat ground.

 

[jglei701 8]

SG,

 

I'm having trouble with your Matthew Keenan Townhome.  I can't get a lot query.  I figure what PROBABLY happened was that I overwrote an essential piece (probably when I was updating the old lots of yours that you've been reworking lately).  Can you help me find what I'm missing?  Thanks

[SimGoober 2,351]

Re-install the BSC Essentials pack. should fix it.  I'm slowly updating older lots, and removing it there as well... but it will be an ongoin project.

FYI, the Aramark I just uploaded I made back in September while visiting Philly.  Just hadn't gotten to finish modding it and such...

 

Sooner or later I will get the Grain Exchange started...

[Simen 1]

Great work on the philly one

This is not only for SIMGOOBER to answer: But for the last couple months, I have been unable to install the simgoober creations. I get a message from microsoft that says there was an error whenever i click the installer icon. Very frustrating because up until then, I was able to download easily. (note: sometimes if i fiddle and fiddle and keep clicking and downloading, i will actually get the installer to open up after double-clicking on it...i dont know why this happens)

any help would be appreciated

[Pheonix Rising 2]

it would help knowing what the error message is. Another thing, does this happen with ALL the installers or just the ones for the SG lots?
