Ahhh, you`re talking about the lottery thread  I wanted to nominate Kuroi_nekomata but she already is on the list and now it`s too late to search for someone else. The deadline to post has ended. I don't think it has ended yet |

I have a quick question regarding options/settings in the game... I just went in to change things around a bit to help the game run smoother, but it won't let me choose aging and how long each stage is. Is this because I need to actually be in a game, or am I missing something? Thanks! You have to do it when in a game, yeah. Though it actually applies to all save files/games at once. Quite annoying really. I agree! I've run into this before, when I wanted to set the default life stage lengths. Because it forces you to do it in an open game, whatever you last set for a game becomes your default. That's just plain silly.  I don't want to play EVERY game with the same life lengths; sometimes I have something specific in mind for something I want to do, but it assumes I want it for always.  |

Yeah that's what I wanted, too. I wanted to do something different, but no. Oh well... guess I'll just deal with it. :-P |

I put together a collage of the first 16 Sims I made (not in order) and felt like sharing.  I'm focusing more on guys right now because I feel like they're a lot harder to make... I think I'm starting to get the hang of it a little. Although I think I've run out of hairstyles I like, I'm trying not to repeat any as much as I can. Oh my! A beautiful collection of Sims! :thumbup: But Rebecca! Apart from the hair colour she is absolutely the spitting image of one the women at work!! BTW, in case it hasn't been widely seen, SimsVIP has a video up showing some of the CAS Custom Content that's already been created, including ... Body Hair!!  I hope it is actually included in the game itself but if not at least we know it can be done. |

Tattoos also took a while but they're included in the basegame now so maybe... |

I wish TS3 had added butt/belly/hip sliders like they did with breast. TS4 create sim does have some nice options for more unique body shapes. |

I put together a collage of the first 16 Sims I made (not in order) and felt like sharing. Which reminds me, I hadn't posted pictures of my last attempt with the TS4 CAS demo ...  This is Loreli Lee, a collector. I wanted to make her a bit 'alien in human form' but not sure I succeeded, I can't help but try to make my Sims at least a little bit attractive.  There are a couple more pictures of her on my Tumblr. BTW David, have you uploaded you Sims to the Gallery yet? |

I'm not sure if I should be uploading them individually or in large groups, so I haven't bothered with the others yet. Plus most of them I did the base outfit for and never got around to the other outfits, or changing their voices. Should be soon though! |

You all have done a great job on creating the new generation of Sims and I`m sorry to say that I still can`t get used to the look of these Sims  . On the other side, I really want to try out the demo version myself . Maybe the Sims 4 and I will get used to each other  . Does anybody know when the demo will be available for everyone? ************************************************************************ Now I want to raise another topic: I plan to upload a new world to the Exchange but it`s not easy for me to write a good English description. All I have until now is: Orbis Nonus is a drawing table designed world. The flat artificial island was build in the middle of nowhere and the Sims are supposed to live in colonies. With your help, this world can be a nice place anyway.Is that correct (grammar, spelling etc.)? Any help from a native speaker is greatly appreciated Edit: This is a screenshot of my world  |

With your help, this world can become a nice place. That's probably how I would have put it. Anyone else can feel free to comment. |

Any help from a native speaker is greatly appreciated Wow, I am impressed by anyone who has the patience, imagination and talent to design a game world, kudos to you! As for your description, I'm not sure what you mean by " drawing table designed"? But ignoring that for the moment I'd probably write something like: " Orbis Nonus is a drawing table designed world. This flat, artificial, island was built in the middle of nowhere where Sims live in small colonies. Can your Sims turn it into an exciting and vibrant world that everyone wants to visit?" You may to add a little more about the world environment and any facilities, special venues or other features that make the world unique and suggest the sort of game play it would be good for ... you've used the word 'artificial' so is it especially good for futuristic adventures? |

Thank you both for your help!
By using the words "drawing table designed" and "artificial" I wanted to say that this is not a real, natural world but something like the The Palm Islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Someone (me LOL) designed the world at the drawing table / drafting table and then it was constructed from sand dredged from the bottom of the Sims Ocean. After that, the island was sowed (?) with grass seed and trees have been planted. I hope you get the idea.
The circles represent the colonies and their street names are e. g. Jupiter-Colony 1 or Mars-Colony 6 etc. Maybe I should change that into something else because that might create an impression of a futuristic world.
Right now, I plan to upload the blank world without any buildings. I`ve done a few but it´s too much work, to create all the necessary lots.

If it's supposed to be a futuristic world, maybe something like "After much of the solar system became uninhabitable, Orbis Nonus was artificially created out of sand dredged from deep within the ocean. Surviving heirloom seeds have made it possible for trees, grass, and other plant life to flourish on the smooth surface of the island. Each planet has been given it's own colony so they may retain some of their individual cultures on this new shared world. Can they learn to live together and embrace their new home?"

Frozenoj, thank you so much for taking the time to write a description. It is almost perfect My world is not supposed to be futuristic only but a mixture of all "creatures" (witches, vampires, fairies, werewolves etc.) that came with the Sims 3 expansion packs. Maybe I can change " Each planet has been given..." into " Each species has been given..." but if I do so, I`m raising fears that I, as a German, could be misunderstood. I don`t want to make any kind of racist remarks. Maybe I`m worried too much? |
