SimsVille on hold ...

I think it's time to finally accept that I really need to rebuild SimsVille. I've been strugling with the pink flashing for some time now, and every time I thinks it's gone, it keeps coming back.

I thought it had something to do with the amount of CC I have in my game, which used to be around 17GB (I know I have a lot!), so I started deleting things, and it appeared that every time I got it under 16GB it was gone.

However lately it came back again, and I've been cleaning out my downloads-folder even more, I'm now under 15GB, and I keep deleting things, but the pink flashing keeps comming back. So I stopped thinking it was the CC, and started thinking the problem is the hood instead. And so I'll be doing a rebuild of SimsVille

I've been thinking about playing this last family before doing the rebuild, it's december in my hood, and so I'm almost halfway through my round, but my gave is pushing me in another direction.
I've been trying to do that the last month or so, and it's just not working.
Ussually I can play 2 or even 3 families during one weekend, if I have not much else do to, now my game hardly lets me play through 2 days without giving me the pink flashing. So finnishing this year is just not going to happen before the rebuild.

I admire Carla for what she has done by completely starting over with her downloads-folder when she started her rebuild, but I'm just not that brave.
So I'm going to keep cleaning out my downloads-folder, and I'll be rebuilding at the same time. I have to admit I'm not looking forward to it, but it has to be done.

This rebuild means there won't be much updates, and I'm aware that I haven't updated in months, but now you know why, I just kept thinking I could get it fixed.
I have some updates, that I still need to write, and I'll try to get them up so you'll at least see what my sims have been doing. And I'll also try to keep you guys updated with the progress of the rebuild. I don't if I'll have much time now, but I have 3 weeks off from work in September, and I hope to focus in this rebuild then, so I'll be able to get back to regular playsessions, and updates.

This rebuild also means that SimsVille will look different, I'm looking for other terrains for both SimsVille and Simmeria, because I got tired of the once I had.
It also means that some sims won't be living in the same houses afterwards, and for some families it's even possible they move from Simmeria to SimsVille of the other way around.
Some community lots might disappear and new ones will be build, ...

So I'm very sorry for the lack of updates lately, I hope to make it up to you when I get the new SimsVille going!

Lout Tour - Warner

As promissed in their last update, here's a tour of Lawrence and Kenneth's new house. They had to take out a loan to be able to buy it, but it's worth it for them. The house has a livingroom, kitchen, study, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The Simmerian - October 2026 Issue

Only 3 more months before Magda and Eddy welcome their first child, and so far Magda has had a pretty good pregnancy. The only thing bothering her is the fact that she can't wear the shoes she wants, because her feet are swollen.

Dr. Carette is happy with how the pregnancy is progressing and doesn't see any problems for the last trimester and the birth.

Notes:

• I couldn't get Magda's belly to pop, so let's pretand she's one of those women where you can hardly see she's pregnant, even though she's nearing the end of the pregnancy.
• I'd like these 2 to have a girl, I can really see them as parents of a little girl. My game has been really co-operative lately, so maybe I'll get what I want.
• I'm looking forward to this baby. Maybe because I have so few babies this round :)But I'm also looking forward to seeing Magda and Eddy's genetics on a new generation.
