Back from my vacation

Hi ya All,

This weekend I returned from my vacation in Germany. I had a "seriously good time" there, a lot of fun and the weather (where I was) wasn't so bad either :D
Today however, it was back to normal again..... so work and catching deadlines....
But it also means, I have more time in the evening to work on playing the game and creating Sims ;)
Tonight I worked on "Ella" my new creation, which I started last week (when I was still on vaca).
I will probably publish her tomorrow, when she's fully finished.
Here is a "teaser pic" of "Ella":
On a different note, I'm wondering if I should post a Simself of me, which I made a couple of months ago. I did make the Simself as a present for my friend Shai for her birthday but didn't publish her so far. I haven't decided yet, what to do with the Simself of me....

Anyways, back from the vacation and had a great time !! ;)

Vacation update :D

Hi ya All,

Today I visited a castle; it's just not any castle, I think it's one of the most beautiful castle's in the world. It's called Castle "Neuschwanstein". I even heard it was used as bases for the design of the castle of the (Disney) Castle in Disney World. And because I think the castle is so beautiful, I want to show you some pics of the castle I found on the web.
It was for sure one of the things I wanted to visit for a long time and since today, I can say I've been there !! :)

Tutorial: Combining and compressing custom content files Part II (Compress)

Hi ya All,

Back with Part II of the "Package Compressing" tutorial. If you haven't prepared your package files yet, please check Part I for details.

Combining and compressing your (package-) files has as main benefit that you can have very much custom content in CAS & in game while the loading speed of the content remains within acceptable boundaries.

Please checkout the tutorial about compressing here: Compressing Files (Part II)

Good luck with the compressing & Happy Simming !! :D

Tutorial: Combining and compressing custom content files Part I (Prepare)

Hi ya All,

If you have or own a lot of custom content, you tend to lose track of all the content you have and your Sims 3 game also slows down considerably and it takes 'ages' in CAS before you see your clothes and accessories, which makes creating Sims like an 'ordeal'....

To keep this in check, I have come across a method to combine and compress your custom content and the result is that your folder(s) with custom content are cleaned up AND your Sims 3 game will load quicker AND custom content will show up faster in game, when for instance you are building or decorating a house AND browsing through clothes and accessories in CAS is like 'normal' again and how it should be :D
Now there are some tutorials about this combining and compressing, but I still see a lot of questions about this and also Simmers who don't get it to work. I hope to solve this, by writing this tutorial.
Mind you, it still is rather 'technical' and it will probably remain 'technical', but if you go and spend a couple of hours on it, the results will be rewarding !!
In order to not lose track, I have decided to split the tutorial in 2 parts. The first part is about how to prepare your files before combining / compressing. The 2nd part will be about the compressing itself.

The first part can be found here: Compressing packages files Part 1 (Prepare)
The second part will follow soon :D

Groetjes, Cheers, Gruessen,
