Broomhilda's Building Album..

omgosh..I love it poppy..and I am your first member

Ok I have a few pictures some of them are the same ones as I have posted before..but I had put a bunch of them in one picture..and this is the only way I know how to use Imgur..there won't be any pictures you will have to see them on there..sorry..I am working on how to do this..I promise..it's far from being done but it's almost 1 am and will get it all done by the weekend..I hope..

Broomhilda's Apartment Complex..

thank you poppy..not ready for contests..you can see the bad picture taking..by the end of taking pictures I just got fed up and just hurried through them..

Not sure about going into the game tonight..I'm just so tired..and I still have to work on the story..

I like the photos of the apartment Sam.
Like the way you decorated as well, really cool!

Thank you Anita..I got another apartment done..just have to take pictures and put them up..

Very nice, Sam (I went to your link).

I really don't know why you can't do it the way I posted... Lisa sent me a link way back when on how to "sign up" for Imgur... I did that and do exactly what I posted in the last set of screenshots...

What doesn't work for you?

I don't know Suzanne..I have tried several different ways to get the pictures on here..but it just isn't working..I'm still trying..and sooner or later it will work..but then I won't know how I did it because I clicked on to many things at once lol..

lol... try one step at a time...

...you could skype me and we can see about doing it together :D

Well I found out something yesterday and again today..with my Apartments..I won't be able to play them..the more rooms I get done..my game freezes up..and I have to get out of the game..several times..there is no way I will be able to put Sims in there and play it..so I will finish decorating it..take pictures and then bulldoze it down..

I just can't build and decorate a building..I have to be able to play..I am not a builder or designer..I love to play the game..

I am down to the wire..come tomorrow I will finish this project up..I have 1 1/2 apartments to finish..and then do my best to take decent pictures..

"...down to the wire[?]"

What do you mean, Sam?

Good Morning everyone,

I have no idea why I'm up and about. It's way too early and my poor brain is still half asleep. So, the following sentences might sound like bunnies hopping all over the place.

Sam, I don't understand either. '....down to the wire' ????

As far as your game freezing up:

1. Maybe you have too much custom content in your download folder.
2. Or, maybe you have a stray Sims 4 cc.  
3. You might also try running your Clean Installer to have a look for something odd.  
4. Look at the individual package size for each piece of cc, you may see something that's over 10,000 kb. Several of these huge pkgs can be a problem.
5. The only other thing that I can think that might be causing you a problem is the 'type' of items in your download folder. Scroll down the list to see, if maybe, a file folder, a word doc, or a zipped cc is in there.

For me it was the total number of items in my download folder. It's amazing how many items can be in one zipped file of a new download.

Please try to take your pics before you start to figure out the problem. I can't wait to see your finished apts.

I believe Sam is playing ts2, Easter...

If she was playing ts4, I'd tell her to export the lot and cc with The Sims 4 Tray Importer...

...I do not know if there is a similar program for ts2.

But Easter is correct, Sam... I have found that the more cc I add into builds, the more lagging I can get. If possible, remove cc that you are not using (copy into a folder and put somewhere safe). You can always add it back in later.

What I mean by 'down to the wire' is that I am just about done with the Apartments..lol..and yes I am playing Sims2..

As for the lagging I never have this problem with small houses or even very large Medieval/Rustic homes and never on a foundation..

But with 6 Apartments, foundation, indoor swimming pool, 3 stories and every room with lots of CC and 6 of everything..more than I normally use..I tend to keep things simple in my homes..but wanted these to be Modern and beautiful..and I am practicing on my designing skills lol..

Even my 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath, 3 story homes don't lag like this..and the more I try to finish this thing the more it lags..and freezes

Suzanne..no I'm not going to do that..if I take it out then put it back later and then add Sims omgosh it would never work..and as for readding it later no way..it was hard enough designing it in the first place..

After I get done with this..I think I will build one of my own homes that I play all the time and show you all how I design it..then you will all know how simple my homes are..and why I struggle with designing homes for these contests..lol

And yes I have been adding more and more CC..and I know it will lag in the game but it never does it this bad..

And I am still struggling to get my CC folders straightened out..I still have ALL my CC in them..I think if I was to get those straightened out and then just put the CC in that I am using at the time it wouldn't lag all the time..

Thank you Easter and Suzanne for your help and input..

Sam I would also love to see the pictures of your other apartments, so I do hope you would be able to get things sorted out. Those that you have already shared with us, are quite lovely. You are doing quite well with the project!

Thank you Anita..

and poppy omgosh..there is another smile and laugh I needed from you..I just love, love that smiley..TILLY we need those 2 smiley's on here..

I am so close to getting it done and will take as many pictures as I can..to make the rooms look nicer lol..I have Evan and Madysin this weekend..so not sure how much I can get done..

You are so funny poppy

I, too, want to see your other builds, Sam :D

Sigh - I am a geeky nerd, you know, lol.

I have been so busy with this site, and the contests, and getting my site straightened out and my story..that I haven't really played my sims..I really don't have any solid builds..usually by now after a factory restore I usually have 3 or 4 generations and very large almost mansion type home..2 or 3 story and everyone is established..and tons of grandkids and all that..

Once I get this story done..sort of..I will be able to play my 8 sims..4 male/4 female..and get the generations going..I have 2 of the 8 I haven't even played yet just got them in the starter homes..you have seen them..

Normally when I play I don't bother about a lot of pictures or story line..I just play..and build what I need at that moment..very simple lol..

I will also get that Apartment done I hope this weekend and take pictures and get them up here..

I just might do that this weekend or start in on it this evening..finish up this story..but I have Madysin and Shya..and maybe the last weekend I get them..Terry is moving out of these apartments..and I won't be seeing him or Madysin/Shya very often right now Tanaja and Taniya are here..as well..

I'm looking forward to your apartments too, Sam. I've got an apartment building I'm going to install and see about decorating. I can't remember how many apartments there are. 

I tell you Alouette..I won't be doing these large Apartments anymore..if I ever build one again it will be 2 or 3 Apartments at the most lol..I started on the wrong size to be my beginner Apartments lol..

  I hear ya, girl! I'm curious as too how many the building I downloaded is. I feel like its four total but I'm probably off by half a dozen. 

Oh my stars I was way off. There are 13 total! Sooo that's gonna be fun!

I hear both of you!

I still need to get back to my 7-unit apartment lot, as well as designing out the apartments for all the virtual sims everyone sent me!

I've got a few other things I need to get to first, though... Mikita's cc-free build is at the top of that list, LOL

Still, Sam - I do look forward to seeing all that you have going on in the sims' worlds.
