For those of you waiting for my 2nd tutorial on custom paintings, it's on the way too...soon! I just need to get some patterns uploaded then I promise I will finish it and get it uploaded for you all.

Thanks to you all who wished me well and who have left me awesome comments. I'm still in the process of replying. It's slow going in between creating but I'll get there eventually.

I want to write an offical THANK YOU!! to TSR, it's staff, creators, downloaders for helping me to fulfill my dream of becomeing a Feature Artist.  I'm very honored, privileged and humbled to be among the most talented artists and creators in the Sims community.

A special Thank You goes out to 2 very special people who I would never have made it without them. First to Nanshi_Nibble for helping me to understand patterns, channels and their placement in the first place and to Sinastra for helping me to futher understand it and teaching me all she knew. I wouldn't be here without you and am grateful for your friendship, guidance, and patience.

**Edit:  I'm ashamed that I forgot to thank my mentor, friend and #1 supporter and cheerleader. You have been so much more than stated. I wouldn't ever have strived for such an honored position without you. To be an FA along side you is a dream and I'm so proud to be here. Thank you DOT for everything you have done and are. Your forever friend, Robin

I would also like to thank all the people who support me by downloading my creations, commenting on my creations and visit my minisite to sign my guest book. You all keep me going and give me the inspiration I need.

Happy Simming!!

Love & Hugs,

Robin

Installation Instructions and other information about my Baby Outfits.

They are all recolors of the infant diaper override meshes by BlooM at IS ~ InSIMenator.org

They are re-colored and uploaded with permission. Please do not re-upload or recolor without contacting BlooM at the link above.

* * There are some things to remember when using these files in your game. Please read them carefully.

To Install Infant Outfits:

•Only install ONE outfit in your game at a time otherwise they will conflict with each other
•Place package file in your “Downloads” folder as usual
(Will also work in subfolder)
•Make sure you do not have any other infant diaper override meshes/re-colors installed
•In some instances you may need the object detail in graphics settings set to high for correct visuals in game
•Overrides the Maxis diaper but performs just like it. Removes during diaper changes and bathing.
•Named for easy detection.
•If you want the original infant diaper back just delete file.

Note: No mesh needed. It is included in package file)

I keep a folder in my 'my documents' with all my baby outfits with the package file and a screen shot. For a screen shot just right click the picture and click 'save image as'. I've tried to name them so they are easy to find in your downloads folder.

I hope you will enjoy these files as much as I do. If you have any requests, concerns or questions please PM me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Happy Downloading!!

Cheers!

Robin

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to write a Thank You! to Thomas/TSR for the honor of making me a Select Artist. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen. I was totally surprised to get the email and am just thrilled. I will do my best to bring you all good quality recolors and do TSR and it's staff proud.

A little about me:

I've been a loyal member of TSR since Sim 1 days. My very first upload was a Sims 1 lot for a contest back in 2004. I started creating when Bodyshop was released and soon realized skinning was not my forte. When the very first SimPe was released I jumped in with both feet trying my hand at recoloring Maxis objects. I'm sure a lot of you will remember how difficult it was back then.

Early on I jumped at every contest TSR had and was hooked on creating. Being a military wife and moving quite often creating was often put on hold. Last year I was introduced to the Texture Challenge and started creating more often. Still again having to move last year after my husband retired for the US Army after 22 years. My creating was put on hold again for a few months.

We are now settled as civilians and I'm in a position to dedicate more time to bringing you all recolors of yours and my favorite meshes.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have downloaded my recolors and left me such awesome feedback. I hope you will continue to visit my mini site to see what is new. I guess thats it. If anyone has any questions or requests please feel free to PM me.

Again thank you Thomas/TSR so much for this opportunity.

Well, I'm off to my daughters last track meet but can't wait to get home and get started.

Hugs,

Robin

Hi Everyone,

I'm very excited to announce my new mini site. I had saved and saved my kudos then I realized you can trade incentive days. So voila here I am.

I would like to thank my dear friends WordCobbler and Poohbear7882 for their support and encouragement. Without them I would never have strived for this. I would also like to Congratulate them on their new mini sites. You have to go and visit them. They are awesome. :)

I hope you all will come by often and see my site and downloads. I'm an active member of the Texture Challange and hopefully will be uploading object recolors often.
