A message to SimGoober

A wonderful quote from one of my favourite authors, Terry Pratchett, when asked when a book was due to be out:

Whole new love for Barby for being a Terry Pratchett fan

[Diggis]

Having just downloaded and installed the goober sets from the LEX, I must say barby, once again, you are a ledgend.  Where this community would be without you I hate to think. 

[BarbyW]

[RippleJet]

Try this Pat: http://www.allblacks.com/

At least you'll know what it's all about!

[Ramona Brie]

By the way, are these revamps ONLY for Goober commercials?

I know that he made quite a few (good) residentials as well.

[Pat]

ahhhhhh ty Rj leave it to you to point me the right way as always i didnt know that was the name of the team lol sad me very sad lol

tracker yes residentals have allready been done or at least some of them...

[BarbyW]

Residentials are all done and on the LEX. Industrials will be next. Then Farms then the plops as they are taking a long time to do.

How many farms and industrials does SG have, anyway? It seems very low, especially in comparison to his commercial army of buildings.

Are the new packs CAMpatible? (the residentials)

[Diggis]

Yes they are CAMpatible, that is the point of the excercise.

Goober had a good collection of farms, and some industrials too, but not nearly as many as the commercials no.

Pat:  We kiwis are fiercly proud of our All Blacks, and if you get the chance to watch a game you should.  At their best they are nigh on unstoppable, and hopefully we will see that to the fullest extent in October.

[Pat]

[guiga88]

[Pat]

[Ramona Brie]

Yep. I never intended for there to be a Hooters across from Camelot International Airport. But it happened yesterday after I reworked the SG department. Camelot has more history than largest city ever, you know. First Hooters ever in SimNation.

I saw books in a bookstore last night. Lo and behold, I found Terry Pratchett and immediately thought of this thread.

I saw books in a bookstore last night.

Sounds about the right place for them..

And Pratchett...All I can say is "Buggrit, millennium hand and shrimp".  If you've not read Pratchett, you're missing out on gems like this:

"The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things."

[Diggis]

No, the best bits are the footnotes.  I wish I had my books here, but they are packed away in a box at home 

[callagrafx]

What, like:

Dolphins: never trust a species who smile all the time...They're up to something

[BarbyW]

Some of Pratchett's own quotes as opposed to from his books are worthy of comment too:

As far as I'm aware I'm not specifically banned anywhere in the USA, and
am rather depressed about it.  Surely some of you guys can do
*something?*

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when
there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

It gets worse.  I have, before now, waited for a pen to perform a macro.

And my favourite:

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and
Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with
me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"
