All the beddings in my downloads folder are moving over and making room already. Yay, bedding!

Hrmmm, I think I'd rather a little more mystery, thanks 

OMG yes, I hate those with a passion. I'm very tall too, so I was almost gnawing my kneecaps!

What about a dramatic lemur? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkqqMPPg2VI . It's small and furry, at least.

Hehehe, I have no idea if it does or not. It just seems superfluous to me, to have the same stuff we all already have in our games included in a lot. But as before, I've no idea how the game actually does any of that . Agreed, it's hard to make nice-looking rooms with in-game stuff only at times. And most of us have a tonne of custom stuff to start with, so it's not so bad to decorate ourselves anyway. And I guess if there's anything we desperately want to find, that's what WCIF threads are for

Well, I hope I haven't bolloxed anything (else. Again ) in the packaging. I've never done this before, so thanks Dr House for all your help .

Thanks missangelica . I agree about the landscaping, I'm just not good at it *grin*. lol and by the time I was done with the house I was sick of looking at it

falln_angel, it makes comeplete sense . I don't really understand how everything works, but I've never seen the point in packaging a lot with a tonne of Maxis-only stuff. It's never made sense to me, why blow a download out to 5 times the size to include stuff everyone's game already has. And I loate hunting for everything too. LOL, which is why I'm trying deperately to get this thing right and make it include the good stuff, but not all the junk the packager usually picks up as well. Grr, who knew it was so trixy? . Furnished and unfurnished versions of the same is a great idea. Often I don't want 300 CC items, terrains, wall and floor coverings that I'll never use again.

Wow. Add that to the list of... oooh, how many paysiters who hate the Pirates with a passion? I'm sure one more will make all the difference 

Ok fair enough . I can make a new upload and include the items, but it makes the file really massive  . But if you don't mind massive, It's easy enough to do

EDIT: http://www.sendspace.com/file/t9k553 try that new link . I know a few things may have escaped the unchecking process, but most of the junk shold be gone and the stuff that's needed in there properly. I hope! Thanks for all your help.

Oh thankyou, ok. I thought "clean" just meant that it contained the items in the original creation, no hacks and all the additional recolours that the packager grabs, for whatever insane reason it does that. When I download houses though, that have been packed using the installer, all of the items are as pictures. How does that work? Anyway, I'm getting a shopping list together slowly.

Wow, that's weird  . I tried following the directions on MTS2 for packaging a house for upload, and thought that's what I had done. I'll have to try it all again.

All it says when I try to install it with Clean Installer is lotSegmentForUpload, with no details about anything. I could always be looking in the wrong place or doin' it RONG! (a disticnt possibility )

I can do that, I think provided I can remember myself . I'll get it done once I fire the game up again. Thanks

Cool . Um, how do I do that? I thought it was just a screencap of the Clean Installer window, but all I get is lotsegment for upload, with no details. I R a n00b at this

Thanks Calalily!

I finally got around to renovating the house I had some questions about in the Ask A Pirate thread. It was the octagonal roofs that were giving me trouble, so I remodelled the roofline. From this...




To this...



Some feedback on the changes would be really nice, since I don't build often and thought I'd try, since my download folder is about to explode. I promised I wouldn't download any more houses and would try to build my own. Which lasted until... well, exactly until I saw Hec's Queenslander . There's interior pics on my livejournal http://discordia-eris.livejournal.com/151575.html?mode=reply and a download link if anyone wants it .

Eeeeeewwww  . Breakfast has been delayed indefinitely, as of now
