Pay Attention to ME!

I've been considering posting about the clamour of attention whores over on the TS3 forums ... is that the right collective noun?  Anyway, it's hard to say much without giving them more attention than they deserve.  And I'm not sure I can say it better than Wibs.

So, I'll just say ... have you noticed though that while one or two attention whores are annoying ... eventually there are so many they cancel each other out?  A lot like a cage of screeching chimpanzees at the zoo.

Actually, that also applies to nyancats!

Seaside Hangout & Diner

To free up a lot in the centre of town, I decided to add a seaside hangout and diner to the beach in Sunset Valley, just like you find in Barnacle Bay (but on a smaller scale). 


The hangout features a band platform and instruments, together with a dance floor and bar.  Quieter sims may be more interested in the chess table. Sims can also gather around the cosy fire pit or make food on the bbq grille. 


You will need to add a 30 x 30 lot to the beach of your selected town (preferably align it with the waterline). After you have added the hangout, you may need to soften the beach landscaping using the terrain tool under the build menu.  

You can download Tickle's Seaside Hangout & Diner from my studio.

I've also added the revamped rabbit hole lots I showed you earlier ... 

Ah Hey Ma Ma Ma

And hot on the heels of the announcement of Sims 3 Pets .... it's Sims 3 Get Stuffed Town Life Stuff!  Yes, there's new gym equipment and washing machines ... and some other stuff.    


Seriously, if it was full of stuff we'd never seen in Sims 3 before, it would be about life in a northern town. We could have a Mining Career (where you spend most of the time picketing the mine or unemployed) ... and a Salvation Army band option (or at least a brass band to keep it secular).  Maybe a few sombre wool coats ... and some proper winter clothes for those of us that don't live in Southern California.  

Anyway, let's hope there's something special in this stuff pack for those of you with weirdo Sims who don't like to hang out in gym gear and do laundry. Not that it bothers me all that much, since this is another one I won't be buying in any hurry.  

Everybody sing "Ah hey ma ma ma"!
