  1. OMG! It looks wonderful! What a nice little late night surprise. Totally had me smiling the whole way. I love the Simgucci ad on the back page, and Laura's cute little black and white text ads, and Carla's two page article!

    It really came together!

  6. Oh, that looks so great! Well done!

    I loved the little bit about the prosperity challenge too. I never considered that what I was doing was kind of like the prosperity challenge but I guess it is! It was so fun looking at everyone else's contributions, which were all fantastic. :)

    Jace will be so proud he made the cover, LOL!

  9. I'm so late, but glad I found it! I've been busy over here. I will definitely have something to send you for the next issue.

    The whole magazine looks amazing as usual! What I loved is seeing the family businesses from a lot of my favorite neighborhoods. Everyone did a tremendous job!

  10. how do you make one of these I want to make one for my hood different ones for real estate, one for my celebrity sims like a gossip one, and one for elections and events for the hood?

  11. I use www.issuu.com. You'll need to put together the pages before hand, I used photoshop to do each page. I haven't done it in a while but I think the pages have to be in either .pdf or .jpeg format but the website will give you instructions on how to do it specifically. It's a lot of fun, good luck!

  12. ok i figured out how you created it but i cant figure out how to get it to show up on my blog like yours does without anyone having to click the link?

  13. You'll need to go to your issuu page and click on the document and click share. You want to get the embed code. Then go to your blog and do a new post. Instead of the compose tab go to the edit html tab and paste the code in. The mag should show up without a link.

  14. im taking pics with gadwin to put into the magazine i want to make a real estate adds put in business ads and random ones for home businesses too, and i'm hoping to make a gossip magazine too.
