Karen - I already purchased, so I'm not going to go bother anyone on another forum. I'm just feeling a little lost... and looking for some validation, I guess.

That card should be just fine for Sims 2, Catherine. It's on the list for Sims 3 with a green yes for everything but the last two eps.

Whew! Thanks Now I just gotta wait...
...*whistles* Hmmmm. I could start putting away the Christmas decos - but, it's not Epiphany yet.
I could... clean the house - like, really mop the floor - with water and floor cleaner and a bucket and everything - ewww (I'd have to get behind the terlits too!)
WOW! Look at all the dirt on the windows! I suppose I could wash them...
Ugh. And, then there's the laundry. Depending on when the card gets here, I might have time to do the mending too.
But... if I did all that, then I wouldn't have any 'Spring' cleaning to do...
I should probably do my taxes. And, maybe work on my jewelry business a bit...
Or, read a book. Or, sleep. It's midnight here. I'll sleep now and decide what to do in the am. G'nite all

It's a heat wave over here, so I'm doing nothing. We have had 40C yesterday 42C today and it should be 40C tomorrow. *melts*

OMG - That's 104F, right? We hardly ever get that hot here! it was 40F yesterday (Brrrr) and should be 70F today - which is just about perfect
BTW: I decided on conquering the great laundry mountain; and while the washer is happily agitating, I'm going to play my daughters new SimAnimals Wii.
Sounds like a pretty good first Saturday of the year to me

104-107F the converter thing says. January is the hottest month. We are not even the hottest area in Australia, we know some people from Brokenhill and it can get up to 46C out there. During these heat waves we all hope and pray the air con doesn't pack it in. It's been struggling and our water cooler went bang and tripped the electricity yesterday. DH says I have to fill it and try it again-he has to be away when these things go. :/ After today the temps are supposed to come back down to the more normal 33-35. Wouldn't be so bad if we got the promised rain storms out of them, but mostly we get a bit of spit and that's it. The saying "Dry as a mallee bull" applies.

*pops out of lurker-hood for a moment* In my area, it's 31 F with somewhere between 6-12 inches of snow predicted over the next two days. Getting home from work in the morning is going to be a big pain. But getting out of work two days ago (since I work midnights) it was -4 F. Before the windchill. With the windchill it was -12 F. And I don't have a proper winter coat that I can get to. Just two hoodies layered together. They're pretty warm mind you, but... Try scraping off a car in that, especially when your sister and friend (who owns said car) are sitting on the inside (and both have actual coats). I got volunteered due to sitting in the back. ~VP

...waiting for my new card... *hum, hum, whistle, hum...*
It was supposed to be cold today (40F) But, instead it's alternating sunny/cloudy with high winds at 72F. My head is about to explode - the weather instability here, drives my sinuses crazy. My skin likes it though
Is there an ETA on final scores?
Has anyone heard anything from Loaf? She is consistently in my prayers, I hope she is doing/getting better and better .

Lot Theme 4/5
Having that long water way within the lot was really challenging but at the end you came up with something nice. The use of terrain paints added realty to the park although I would have loved to see the full utilization of the lot. The land landscaping by the edge of the waterway I do really love
Build Skill 4.5/5
I think the essence was to have something nice with the lot and you did just that. Though, you have empty spaces that could have been filled up to give more vigor to the park, the end result of what you have made is just lovely.
Playability 5/5
Liked the spacing in the park and there is no room for non-playability. The routings are okay and definitely cramping will not occur.
Overall Theme 5/5
I like the simple nature of the park and I feel it goes with your overall theme.
Requirements 5/5
Of course you met it and overall, I have a liking for your park, though It would have been better to have separate toilets for both sexes.

Lot Theme 3.5/5
I am speechless. I like that you gave this a try, and like what you did with the lot, I just feel that lots of empty spaces exists that could have been made use of to make the lot look better. I feel that landscaping the lot would have been great and you could have given an attempt at it. I feel that you could have added more places for activity for the community sims. At the end, you made a nice lot, just that more could have been done to make it a lot better.
Build Skill 3/5
I am believer that a good home or place depends on what was done or not done. What you did was came out with a lovely idea for a park or community lot and I do like the Mahjong place. I am just sad that here is no landscaping within the lot. The bed line of the lengthy waterway could have been filled up with plants and trees and some terrain paints would have been nice. Presently the lot looks simply bare. How I wish you have landscaped it. I was wondering why you did not have a window in the house.
Playability 5/5
The lot is playable with all the free spaces that the Sims will have to themselves though I think that would still be if some of those spaces were made use of to make the place more beautiful. could have been used.
Overall Theme 3.5/5
I liked that you were going for a mixed theme having gone through with all your lots, I just have this slight reservation that this was a bit way off from your theme. I still like that you gave it a go

The park certainly follows the theme of ‘simple’ for a ‘simple village’. I feel it is a little too simple really.
Build Skill 3
I like the basic build of the pagoda but you really should have added in some windows and the roof would have looked better if you’d used the green or red tiles. There is very little landscaping, just the tall bamboo.
Playability 4
Playable in the sense that there is a lot of space to move around here but there are no public toilets so your simmies aren’t going to stay for very long.

This looks oh so ‘classy’!
Build Skill 5
You have utilised the space on this lot so well. Love the different levels and you’ve managed to fit in a small cafe too! Although there are not many clothes racks it just makes the shop look even more ‘classy’. I think you have integrated the bridge very well with the clothes shop. Love the landscaping.

I dont think it fits in with the rest of your lots too well. I know where you are from there is a complete different type of buildings and community places everywhere with no rhyme or reason to them, theres probably one with some of the same aesthetics to it, but looking at this and then looking at the others I dont see it fitting into your sim village.

You have packed so much into this lot but all looks so cohesive. The loos look a little cramped though. Don’t think I’d want to live too close to the park though – could be a tad noisy I notice some little boats on the river, which look like buy mode CC, are they? If you can prove they’re not you can have the .5 point back.

Great idea for a clothing store too and nice design too. I like the landscaping, but feel like more could have been done to the entrance. Overall what you have is really impressive
Build Skill 4/5
The clothing store design is good, also the terrain and landscaping of the lot is lovely. I would have gone with the use of small shrubs and trees in combination of the rocks at the edge of the river to make it more beautiful. But still it all came out well.
