Done It...

Big Thank You to Illlandrya for your help...

as you can see..it worked perfectly...:-D ....Thank you...

I'm officially Stuck...

I'm stuck..can't find a way over...

ok..I'm here at the quarry..

I'm down in the tomb...

as you can see she doesn't know what to do (neither do I, so that makes two of us!)

I need to get over the pit of firery stuff to that red box..I've already got the key...

I've used the sands of understanding...and I don't know what to do next...Any help would be appreciated..;-)

To Diana :- Not Delivered By Me or UPS...

hope you like it Diana ;-) ....and no problems with the delivery...oh and i had a little bit left over so i made you these too...

hope they fit :-)

To Diana :- AN EQUALLY MERRY CHRISTMAS :-D

Diana....tried to send you yours...the snow all melted :-( .... and a dog ran off with the goose :-(...somebody even stood on the box :-( ....

so i hope this massive smile will be just as nice.... ;-)

Yay!!!!!!!!

I'm all excited....I've just checked the weather reports for the next two weeks, as it is cold enough today to snow...and we have been forecast snow for Christmas..I guess everyone will be running to the bookies to place bets as to whether it will snow on Christmas Day (not that I will lol)....if it does snow on Christmas Morning, well..it gives me a bit of a warm feeling in my tummy thinking about it...it hasn't felt particulary Christmassy to me yet this year, can't seem to get into it, up to a few years ago I would get all excited and hyper at Christmas, but this year...well...maybe its because it's rained so much and it just feels like any other time of the year except there are no leaves on the trees...and it is cold today!! I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping and I can't decide what to cook for Christmas Dinner, i try to cook something different every year, even had wild mushroom tarte one year..have been toying with the idea of goose...well i will have to decide soon or it will be beans on toast :-D ...although i could add a sprig of holly and decorate the plate with icing and maybe that would do :-D...its going to be a quiet Christmas, might see my Dad on Boxing Day, but mostly working so I shall be here a lot I think...but where better could you spend Christmas!

I'm still trying to finish my Eygptian lot, but that's coming along extremely slowly, and spending most of my time trying to finish all the tombs in WA, which is soooooooooooo much fun :-D...

and lying around on the job is not going to get it done any quicker....

and having your butt catch on fire every five minutes doesn't help either!!

i really ought to check the floor more often ;-)...

and the walls :-D...

anyway, hope everyone has a cool weekend :-)

Eventually..

I've finally submitted my lot that I've been building and its being published tomorrow...

...i've had a real job finishing it because I've been playing WA so much, and having so much fun that I really couldn't get into finishing it, but there its done now..I've also started a new lot, an egyptian type themed lot

I'm in the process of building a basement(with maybe some secrets in ;-) )....but its coming along slowly because i can't seem to find an easier way of saving apart from going back out of the lot to eygpt, and then going back to the main hood...how tedious that is!! There must be an easier way but with the game occasionally quitting on me for no reason, i've been saving frequently, and not had time to discover it yet (if there IS an easier way)..if you try to save in a WA hood it comes up with a message saying that this is not supported yet (what!!) (so EA get it supported!!)..

And I've also noticed that you can go to a page on the Sims3 website that shows you the new world tool, but nowhere to download it, so hopefully that will be available soon...

Anyway, I've got to go to bed in a minute, its 2:21 in the morning and I have to get up for work in 3 1/2 hours...was going to post this sooner but my internet connection at home has been sporadic to say the least and it took me 3 hours earlier today just to look at TSR stuff..(not happy with internet provider at all!)

Have a great rest of the week :-)

Its Great

Well, after all my moaning and whinging, i finally got WA on the 20th, so i've been playing for just over a week...and all i can say is 'Wow'...its great. There's a few niggly things about it (of course ;-))..the personal inventory changes every time my sims go or come back from an adventure, so I can't sort it into any kind of order at all because it keeps moving everything (and i like to have order!)..but on the plus side there are now chests that you can buy and bring home that can be used to store anything, so i've removed most of my jewels, paintings and rocks and put them in there(and they don't change the order either)...the whole issue with cooking a meal and it going off in the fridge too quick is a little annoying too...they've definately made the sky's graphics softer too, which is nice but you don't get any intense colours anymore(or at least I'm still looking for them)...but all in all, the best game ever...i'm a bit of a tomb raider kind of girl anyway, love it all on playstation(lara, drake, indiana), so i love the concept of delving in tombs and i love the collecting element too. I'm glad I don't mod my game at all because everyone has seemed to have had a lot of problems when the game updates through the launcher :-( ....

And just in case you're interested its raining again,( i think its rained every time i've blogged), and i think it may continue til next year ;-) ....(no surprise there then)..roll on christmas (and summer)...hope everyone's having a great weekend :-D

What?...

Now I'm fairly sure that i thought that the EP was out this weekend, I'm so sure this was this case, I was upset I couldn't have the afternoon off....so when i read today that it's out next weekend I was most upset :-(....so I don't know why I thought it was out this weekend, never mind!!..

Weekend is nearly over..

..anyway, back to work tomorrow, so less time to sim..hmmm..only 5 days til the expansion(not that I'm counting or anything :-o), and I can't wait..i think its going to be so much fun to play..it almost becomes unbearable to play because i want all the new things...lol..i'm just like a little kid i suppose..anyway, hope friday comes soon..and i hope everyone is having a great weekend....

So Pleased its Saturday

Well its Saturday, and am I glad about That. The whole weekend ahead to play Sims..hmm, bliss...only 6 days to go to the new Expansion comes out(7 if you want to be picky, but I never count the day I'm on..)and I really can't wait. I've formulated a plan, my Sim is living it up in the Rectory, I've got her cooking, gardening and handiness skills to max and I'm working on her althletic, fishing and painting skills...I figured if I could get those to max then wandering around doing challenges and exploring tombs would be easier..I'm trying to find all the collectables too, so it will be easier to find all the new stuff in world adventures, I can find all the butterflies, rocks and gems but there is just one beetle left and I can't find it anywhere in Sunset Valley or Riverview(Trilobite Beetle)...I'm determined that I will find it eventually..sorry, that my SIM with find it eventually...I popped into EAStore yesterday too and its the first time I've hesitated buying anything...i was hoping for new hair, and there is one for the ladies, but..meh..not bothered by it...the kids stuff looks nice too but I don't spend a great deal of time playing babies or children so I'm not fussed by that set either..oh well, I will just have to be patient and wait for the new EP..(I hate being patient, I'm a very 'want it now' person, i was spoilt rotten when i was younger(a benefit of having siblings much older than me), and although I do try to act like a mature adult...well..life is for living (so I want it NOW)...

On another note, we had our first frost of this season this morning, everyone is scraping away at their windscreens..so i guess Winter is well on its way, although we have had very unseasonal weather, its been quite warm up until today, and we are well into November...I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for some nice snow for Christmas day though...

Hope everyone has a great weekend...:-)
