Brunch at the Old Mill Store Set Review

Hey guys!

It's the first week of July, meaning we get a brand new set this month! As like all other sets released in the past, this is a review of the newest addition to The Sims 3 Store: Brunch at the Old Mill.  This is a store SET (not a VENUE) and I hope you guys enjoy!

This is a collection file to put in your Collections Folder, this is NOT A SIMS3PACKAGE FILE.

World of Wonder Carousel Collection Store Venue Review

Credit: Thank you to Weealbet for gifting me this venue! ^_^

Hey guys,

Welcome to the review of June 2014's newest set (or venue in this case): The World of Wonder Carousel Collection Venue. This venue is a carnival-themed venue that includes multiple new premium content, a Build/Buy mode only set, and some visually-impressive content released in The Sims 3 Store.

Collection File: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dccf7nfbhf30wbw/WorldOfWonder.package

Note: This is a collection file to put in your collections folder so you can easily find your items!

THIS IS NOT A PACKAGE FILE FOR YOU TO ILLEGALLY PIRATE. *rolls eyes*

Hope you guys enjoy!

World of Wonder Venue Review postponed until later date

Just a heads up guys,

I will not have a review up until most likely early morning Friday, or even Monday as I have some personal obligations to attend to these next few days.

I will be working the entire day of release, and have major events to attend for the remainder of the week.

Sadly, I'm off today instead of tomorrow (wished it was the other way around).

I do hope you guys get to enjoy this venue and/or read other reviews until then!

Regards,
AznSensei

Upcoming Projects Over The Summer!

Hey guys,

I would like to announce that these next 4 months will be my last months with The Sims 3. Therefore, I have a huge list of projects and hope I have time to complete them over the Summer for you all to enjoy!

My finals are over on Wednesday, May 14th which means I will start on my projects as soon as the 15th Starts.

Please keep an eye out of the following:

- Roaring Heights Map Guide
- Hidden Springs Map Guide
- Barnacle Bay Map Guide
- Riverview Map Guide

Next, I will be working on creating Collection Files of EVERY store set since day one, and also potentially a catalog of all of the store content before the end of the summer.

I will also be working on completing my Sharing Threads in the forum, the Master Directory will be found here:

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/703595.page

As a final parting gift, I will be also working on two major projects and if anyone is interested in testing/helping out that would be wonderful!

- Aurora Skies World Fix that can be shared and used by all, but not as a pirated file! You would be required to own Aurora Skies in order to use this.

- New Tokyo, Japan-Inspired City World called "Shiroi Sakura" which means "White Cherry Blossoms." Hope I can get this project started, but it is not of my top-priority at the moment.

Regards,
AznSensei

The Now & Then Century Manor Store Venue Review

Credit:
- Thank you to brsy for gifting me this venue! I appreciate the generosity you have given to me and I believe many other simmers today.

Disclaimer: I had object hiding on, so not everything is 100% seen on all floors, just a heads up for those inquiring about the images of the venue.
_________________________________

Hey guys!

It's the first Thursday of May, meaning it's new store release time! Released today is a brand new venue for The Sims 3 Store, and also Part II of the remake of the Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff Pack: The Now & Then Century Manor.

The Bohemian Garden released in March was Part I, which introduced more gardening objects and outdoor content, along with clothing and harvestables.  This venue, however, focuses more on the Mansion aspect and if you remembered what was in TS2: M&G, you would remember Second Empire roof pieces, Mansion staircases, etc.  Well, although this isn't entirely a 100% remake of the stuff pack, there are features that resemble the theme.

Baker's Bazaar Collection Tutorial

Hey guys,

In this blogpost, I will be going through a tutorial on how to use the Baker's Bazaar Collection, much like the Savvy Seller's Collection that comes with Midnight Hollow.

Hopefully, this tutorial will make things easier for you guys to figure out and decide how you want to run your own Bakery, and get the most of what you can after purchasing it for almost $20..

DISCLAIMER: Please note that this premium content is focused on the player's sim to run it.  It is not content that is utilized by NPC's and will require the player to put the work in to stock.  If you want content that is "staged" to be runned by NPC's, look into the Savvy Seller's Collection that comes with Midnight Hollow.

Cheers,
AznSensei

Deliciously Indulgent Bakery Store Venue Review

Hey guys,

It's the first week of April, and that means we get another new store release this week! This is the review of the Deliciously Indulgent Store Venue via The Sims 3 Store.  It's sold for 1900 Simpoints (not on a sale discount) and includes two premium content items.

Hope you guys enjoy the review,

Villa Paraíso Featured Look Review

Hey guys,

With the Sims 3 Store releasing only one store set/venue a month, things got a little slow in reviews and there's really nothing new for me to review nowadays other than the store sets.  Now, they start releasing special "Compilations" known as Featured Store Looks that incorporate past store content and redesigning them and placing them in order to make new lots for new builders and simmers who like a little bit of everything.

Therefore, I am now adding reviews of these Featured Looks starting with this one, and I hope you guys enjoy!

Bohemian Garden Store Set Review

Hey guys,

It's the first week of March, meaning it's time to review the newest store set released for the month: The Bohemian Garden.  While it may be confusing and look like a venue set, it is actually just a build/buy with clothing set, with all items sold individually (except for the premium content of course).  This set is sold for 1450/1700 Simpoints (Until March 10th) and consists of  13 build/buy and 10 cas assets, along with the premium package of 8 brand new harvestables.

Hope you guys enjoy the review,

Hey guys,

Welcome to the beginning of The Sims 3 Store's "One release a month" campaign, where you will see only new content released at the beginning of every month.  For this month, I will be reviewing the newest venue released today, February 6th, The Prism Art Studio. This studio is created to focus around the glass-blowing premium content that was posted in a poll almost over a year ago and also includes some new L-Shaped Staircases!

Roaring Heights Store World Review

Credit goes to Valgon57 for the Banner!

Hey guys,

I am back to reviewing after a month almost, so hopefully my time away didn't keep you guys away from the site! Anyways, I am here to review the newest world released on December 12th, 2013 via Simpoint Bundle: The Sims 3 Roaring Heights!

Note: The Boardwalk Venue will be posted in its own separate review, along with a tutorial! ^_^

First off, I want to say thank you to The Sims 3 Communications Team for sending me the code for this world and the Boardwalk Venue (which will be in its own separate review), so because of them, I was able to write this review due to having to work all day on Thursday. 

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this read and it will be in multiple parts!

Enjoy,

Grandpa's Grove Store Venue Review

Hey guys!

After a month break from playing The Sims 3 and not being on for a while, I am now picking back up reviewing new content, especially this mouth-watering, wallet-destroying, eye-gouging new venue known as the Grandpa's Grove. This venue focuses on mostly the Gardening Skill and is themed for farms and more, like past sets. I will be reviewing using the price breakdown, the venue, the premium content, and the content that it utilizes, like all past sets.

I would like to thank Reachsims for gifting this wonderful venue for reviewing and sharing purposes.
Thank you to Valgon57 for the for the banners and blog logo.

One with nature review postponed

Hey guys,

I won't be reviewing the newest set today, but I will say this. There will be some times I won't review or purchase some sets, until on sale for a bigger discount. This is one of them.

If you like some of the objects, don't buy the full set.

You can buy them individually, so enjoy and happy simming!

Savvy Seller's Collection Tutorial: How to Build a Shop

Recently, it seems like many simmers are confused on how this particular object works and figuring out the steps on HOW TO make a shop and running it. Therefore, in order to help those who may/may not still be confused, I have "hopefully" written up a detailed tutorial on building a shop for you.
