Featured!

Macy has been chosen as a featured creation.  I'm really surprised and pleased.  Maybe this will lead to more downloads for her.  Yay for my redhead!

  1. Thanks, PiB. I think it's because I posted on the We want YOUR sims thread. Macy was one of the sims I linked to in my post in that thread.

    Now, she'll never be culled.

  2. Thanks for the gift, PiB. It will be perfect on little Aaron Grant-Walker.

  3. OMG! I saw featured and skipped everything else and came straight here. Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you.

  4. Thanks, Dee! And thanks for the present!

    I'm trying to think of a way to capitalize on this and get Macy more downloads. Maybe I'll make a post on the forums.

  5. Why not? It worked for Sam, Celia and family. They have made 102 downloads and 10!! recs now.

    ReplyDelete
  6. They broke 100! That's awesome.

  7. I check for your forum post in a little while. If it starts disappearing, I'll give it a bump.

  8. Thanks, again! I forced my child and husband to look at the feature notice on the front page. *laugh*

  9. LOL when I try to get mine to look at something, he rolls his eyes. He looks, but I can tell he really isn't interested.:D

  10. 101 downloads on Darius Pendragon! Congrats, PiB!

  13. Congrats, PiB! That's wonderful!

  15. I think Sam can definitely thank the "We want your Sims" thread. I posted several Sims. Only Sam made it.

    I think my newer Sims are at a disadvantage, they seem to prefer default thumbnails. :)

  16. I finally got to see Sam on the featured page but when I went back I saw old stuff. Seems the sight is down. At least it's down for me. I've been trying to get in for... ever. I was able to get into the store though, of course. Been shopping. Saw the new stuff was up and just had to have some of it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. That's better than me. I missed seeing Sam on the Feature page. when I got a feature page, it was other items. And then I'd get default stuff because the site is basically dead.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I hate you didn't get to see him there. Maybe he will appear again.

    I couldn't even get into my own page.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Didn't see Sam yet but I did catch Macy on the front page! Hurray for Macy and Chrysame.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I saved a printscreen of Macy on the feature page. I'm such a dork.

    I keep looking for Sam on the page but getting onto the forums has been torture.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I've been looking for them everyday. I never did get to see Macy.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Don't give up Dee. When I had posted, I had *just* seen Macy on the front page. So several days after they get featured, they can still turn up on the front page.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I keep looking for Sam on the featured page whenever I can access the EA site.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I just went there and still can't get to the forum and on one page I can see creations. On the other page there's a note that there are no features. I guess they are either having a big problem with the forum or they are busy making changes. Probably a big problem since it is only about 5:30 there in CA, I believe.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It probably exploded with people talking about the new EP.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I haven't seen the forums up since before the announcement about the new EP.

    Now their web server has crashed and I can't get anything beyond Tomcat error pages.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I can access my messages on my page. My last one announces the new ep and says the forums are down for maintenance. That was sixteen hours ago.

    The message before that said they were experiencing problems with the forums and working on a fix.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm getting that 500 error now and can't even get to the main page. Last time I had been logged out and couldn't log in. It will probably be fixed by the time I get home tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  29. There he was, on the front page of thesims3.com. Not the first item of the user made creations but he was on the list!

    Hurray Sammy. I have a screenshot.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am so glad you finally got to see him.

    ReplyDelete
  31. What the hell?

    Before Sam was featured, he had about 65 or 67 downloads. Definitely doing well.

    After he was featured, it slowly climbed to about 80.

    Last night, he *jumped* to 110. And 9 recs. Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Congratulations on 110. I saw him on the feature thing again this morning. That was about the only part I could get to. I got to see Macy there again too.
    If I hand't already rec'd him I would. Alas, we can only rec once.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Phillip has been rec'd. Can't download cause I would get confused, big time. He looks a lot like Indy.

    sownloads 10.40 PM my time:
    Phillip 31
    Darious 108
    Sam 113
    Indy 148

    You're on a roll PiB!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I just can't spell at all tonight. Pretend the words make sense.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thanks for the rec for Phillip. He is a dead ringer for his dad when he grows up. Rachel hair colour, Sam's basic features...

    I am stunned by the fact that my two most downloaded Sims are

    Indiana Sam (not Indy, but Sammy in disguise) at 148 and then Sam Grant at 113.

    Darius has done very well, and so has Camille for a Sim with no CC.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I forgot that was Sammy being called Indiana Sam. Darn.

    You need to update your wish list. I was going to send you another congrats present but don't have enough points for the two you have left. I don't like to buy things without the wish list. Never know what someone already has.

  37. At this moment in time, macy is back on the "what others have made" page.

    ReplyDelete
  38. They do pop back on the list.

    Sam has officially doubled his downloads since being made a feature.

    BTW - I had a quick peek at the update Dee, but I don't have time to properly respond till lunch break.

    ReplyDelete
  39. That's okay PiB. I know it's your work time. It's your Friday and mine is still to come. Darn. Wish today was my Friday. :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Macy finally hit 100 downloads. That's the most of any of my sims. Quite a bit for me.

    ReplyDelete
  41. A big congratulations to you Chrysame.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sam Grant has hit 175 downloads making him the most downloaded Sim I have. If he keeps turning up on the Featured lists, he may actually make 200. That would be cool. Though 175 is damned cool.

    ReplyDelete
  43. That is very cool, PiB!

    ReplyDelete
  44. OMG, I can't even imagine 175 downloads. You go Sammy, you can do it.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sam is on 216 downloads now. He stuck most of yesterday at 199, but suddenly started getting downloaded again. 216 - I don't quite believe it.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I saw that he had a lot more downloads right before I left for work but didn't have time to come here and post. I'm so proud of him.

    I noticed that pattern I uploaded and tried to delete is getting close to 100. I can't believe it. It's a recolored fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  47. That's wonderful, PiB. Go, Sammy, Go!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I just saw Phillip on the what others have created page. *claps hands and cheers*

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yay for Phillip! I got another one as well. My sim, Gemma Reynolds was featured.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yep, I found a note this morning that I had a featured creation. And it's Phillip. I haven't caught him on any page yet, but now that I know they rotate for a long time, I'm not too worried.

    Hurray Chrysame for having a new featured Sim.

    And Sam has passed 250 downloads. [blink][stunned]

    ReplyDelete
  51. I just saw PiB as a featured member for Sam!

    ReplyDelete
  52. :) I almost died laughing when for the first time ever, Sam Grant was one of the random things from the exchange in my Launcher. For some reason, I didn't expect him there.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'm just thrilled for both of you. I feel as though 2 close friends have made the big time. Does that sound silly? No, it doesn't.
