Welcome to BogSims. The Chibbles have eaten our brains and have taken control of the website. YOU WILL SUBMIT TO THE RULE OF THE CHIBBLES! RESISTENCE IS USELESS!
Here we are with our new design! No, things don't look a lot different on the outside. Most of the changes were made behind the scenes. You may notice that the annoying frames are finally gone and we've tried to streamline the navigation a bit. I think we all should tip our hats to Syera, because she hand-coded the backend of the entire site, and of course made all the shiny graphics. :-)

News Flash: We are still just about deathly quiet, aren't we? That isn't so much how I've had things planned, just how they've worked out. When its development hasn't been hindered by one thing or another I'm STILL working as much as possible on the Shire. Recently, though, my co-admin at Custom Sims 3 (the fellow who actually owns the site) had some life altering events and had to turn the site completely over to me. I am happy to accept the reigns, although I truly wish it was under better circumstances. My heart and best wishes go out to Fire and his family during their crisis.
It might interest visitors to BogSims to know that Custom Sims 3 is a forum-based Sims 3 site that allows uploading of custom content by our members. There are some really great creators there who surprise me with their brilliant ideas and execution of everything from shelves to hold knick-knacks to celebrity Sims to entire subdivisions full of unique houses to download. For seriously, if you haven't even been to CS3, please drop in and sit a spell. I also still have my updates thread there for the Shire with several new screenshots and progress updates during the past few weeks.

From Regina: I have updated some of my custom terrain textures and added a couple of new ones to the batch! If you are using either my dirt or rock packs, make sure to get the updated versions and you may want the extra couple that I've fixed up to go with them. Here's a picture of the mountain rocks, more pictures are with the downloads in my Misc.>Create A World section.

From Regina: Well, color me embarrassed! As it turns out, 512x512 texture sizes aren't the greatest idea for Create-a-World. I didn't notice a problem with them in C-A-W, but Syera found a big problem with them in testing a world created with those textures, and the result is a blurry mess. As such, I pulled all the 512x512 image sizes, and anyone who has downloaded them should go after the larger file sizes and use those to replace any of the smaller size they are currently using in world creation.
I also updated Build Town with the non-shrinkerized images for anyone who wants to grab an updated version of that.

From Regina: Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! I'm not big on practical jokes so I have put together what I'm hoping will be a nice update for world builders and lot builders, plus updated one of my starter houses that had a REALLY bad roof.
"Build Town" is a town on a small map that I put together just for the sake of building lots. It has various lot sizes, ranging from 10x10 to 64x64 with a few decorations thrown in to aid picture taking. It loads fast and saves even faster.
I find it really strange the things my brain will hang onto. I've been using a combination of Martine's exported game textures and a bunch I exported last summer for various projects in Create-a-World but over the course of the last couple of months my memory has been telling me those aren't all of the textures in the game. A couple of days ago I went texture diving to see if I remembered correctly, and sure enough, there were enough more unique textures to make it worth my while of extracting and uploading (over a dozen) so I exported everything. I have included two versions, one in 1024x1024 pixel size for people who like to edit the images, and another in 512x512 for anyone who wants to use them as they are. While I was at it, I also pulled out every set of road files I could find and rotated the crop images for a better selection.
All these goodies can be found in my Misc. section under Worlds and Create-a-World. I really do hope these files are useful.
