Exactly!! I hated when I built something and then someone would build in the same style just to show that they could do it better...or so they thought. And after a while, things just have a habit of looking the same with different colors thrown on them. Can I ask how its the same style house if you both were using the same house blueprints. If you are using the same ones of course its going to look similar. The internet is free to anyone so anyone could technically build the same house if they wanted to. ...I didn't say anything about blueprints or any one person for that matter. o.O I haven't used blueprints in years, by the way. Everything I do is from something I see and I get inspiration. I was making a generalization of things that I see, that's all. Pierre, I hope that you have an amazing time on your cruise and that you recover quickly from your surgery.

me after my cruise this year i might retire from creating as well because if mid january i go in surgery i will be 1 to three months without sims so i will not be creating and when i go back into playing my sims3 game sims4 when to are out i will just be playing if i create and share it will be when i decide to This is what I will be doing as well, Pierre! ;D I did love the "Copy Cat Challenges" during Sims 2. It was so much fun creating a Sim Home from rl floor plans!! That was my favorite thing to do. I didn't mind that all the homes entered were basically the same... the challenge then, to me, was putting "my touch" on the creation, yet still maintaining the integrity of the plan. It was fun!! I am so looking forward to the resorts with Island Paradise!! Sure hope mine gets here on release day!! ;D

Awesome! I'm glad you like it. I have to play today. This week will be hectic with the holiday so I'm not sure when I'll be able to play.

Double posting, yup. Ok so I started my game but made sure that all of my mods were updated first. Everything was fine. So I went into the new neighborhood and choose the three girls who live together as my test subject. I sent them to a small resort where they pretty much just played in the water or laid out all day. The next day (8:02 pm) my game froze. It had been doing this skipping/freezing thing during game play, but this time it stuck. The fish were still jumping and the waves were still coming up on the shore. I couldn't move the screen. I couldn't click on anything. I couldn't do anything. I waited for about 15 minutes before bringing up the task manager and quitting the game. This hasn't happened to me in the longest time. I updated my graphics card because of this issue. I'm a little annoyed at this point in time. I'm about ready to chuck the whole thing out.

Have you tried not playing with mods the mods I have notice make the game more laggy especially if you have Story Progression that mod its self is a resource hog. Meaning that its will freeze your game even if you have the best computer.

I know what "resource hog" means, so thanks. I haven't tried pulling my mods yet. I don't use a SP mod at all, so it's not that. I have MC, Woohooer and a couple more from Twallan and then a few from Shimrod. I'll pull my entire folder and see if it has that small laggy thing it was doing last night. I was so annoyed that I didn't even start my game up again.

Or just try adding overwatch it helps some it cleans out things that might make it freeze. I have Twallans mods to but I now just use overwatch I am still testing mine but for some reason it froze when I didn't have mods in. I am hoping that overwatch takes care of my problem.

I don't think it's any of my mods. This EP is just freaking jumpy as all heck. What now? I guess I toss my mods back in and hope OW keeps things moving along.
