I bought a bottle of Cat Nip spray today to dose Sammy's toys so he'd enjoy playing with them. The poor thing has been playing like a madman & has just crashed out on the couch... but I swear that's a smile on his face... you decide!

Picked up my copy of the Sims 3 yesterday. Had a play last night & I must say the game is cool! I loved being able to walk my sim across the road to the beach or to the pond for some fishing after work.

The only thing I was disappointed with so far, is not being able to follow my sim onto a community lots where they enter a building. I feel stranded being stuck outside, but then watching them "work" might be a bit frustrarting (being out of control).

It's certainly different to build a house in & it sure is going to take some getting used to, but I'm enjoying the challenge... bring on the unlimited simoleon cheats for my sim to upgrade their cabin to a palace!

Hope you're all having fun exploring it too!

Love & Hugs

I'm currently working on my final map for Stoneyville Estate.

Completed:

* Stoneyville Casino

* Stoneyville Piano Bar & Restaurant

* Stoneyville Exquisite Jeweller

============================

I'm currently working on:

* Stoneyville Vets & Pets

=============================

Still to come/under consideration:

* Nightclub

* Karaoke Lounge

* Luxury Goods Store

=============================

If you have any suggestions or requests... now is the time to speak up.

I'm still planning to create Stoneyville lots, but this is the last map I will be publishing - unless of course I create another neighbourhood & make Map 21 flat! I still have loads I'd like to create.... like a Furniture Store, Country Club, High School, Sorority, Fraternity, Dean's House, Lighthouse etc... so who knows.

I have Sims 3 on order & I'm planning to create for Sims 3 as well. I'd love to keep Stoneyville going, so I'll just wait & see what it's like when it arrives & once we have the tools to share the lots.

Hope you are all well & thank you to everyone for your ongoing support - it means the world to me!!!

Love & Hugs

Life will certainly never be the same now that Sammy is here. He discovered my peg bucket the other day, so now I find pegs all over the place! He knicks them, plays till he's bored & then goes & fetches another one. I could tell he'd been on my computer desk this morning. My speakers were tipped over & there was a peg beside one of them....

On the cute & adorable side, he's getting along great with my Maltese Terrier Harmony.. or Mooky as we call her... don't ask me why....

Sammy is the latest addition to the family. He's a Siamese cat & is just 8 weeks old. Within 48 hours he's well & truly made a place for himself in our lives. He's already using his litter tray & has even worked out how to climb onto the bed, so he can sleep with us every night. He "talks" all the time - especially when he's in the litter tray, or wants to eat or needs some affection... in fact he "talks" more than I do which is no mean feat . He's certainly livened up the place & I don't know how we ever lived without him!!!

Ah... it's so nice to be back creating again. I seem to have a bit of an obsession with creating new Neighbourhoods at the moment, so please bear with me.

Stoneyville Estate is coming along nicely. Map 10 is nearly finished with a Museum under construction. After that there's just one more lot to build & that map will be complete. There won't be a Map 8 as the only thing on it will be the "Stoneyville Town Square", so just plonk it down in the centre & map 8 is done!

I also have a new Mountain lot on the way - just a little cozy cabin for you to enjoy & I'm also toying with making Stoneyville University as a series of maps... hence the neighbourhood creating!

Thanks to everyone for all the lovely comments on my last Blog. I'd rather regret going, than to have not experienced a trip away with Terry. If nothing else we've proved we can be together 24 hours a day without getting sick of each other... or killing each other!

Take Care....

Love & Hugs....

Arrived back today... the trip was just awful & I'm so glad to be home.

We rented an onsite caravan & the double bed turned out to be two small singles (Terry is 6ft tall & broad shouldered so his back is killing him), the gas bottle was empty... so no gas cooking, the sink was blocked... so Terry had to unblock it with a plunger.... & to top it all off, the park owner was an arrogant jerk, so we came home early.

It's so good to be home!

As most of you know, my husband died last year & I've pretty much just kept going (as of course he wanted me to do).

I've decided it's time to take a break, so from the end of this week, I'll be going camping in another state. As I won't be anywhere near my beloved computer... I won't be replying to comments, pms or guestbook entries, but I will be back.... no doubt bursting with ideas!!! I am taking a sketch book with me, so I'm hoping to come back refreshed, relaxed & bursting with enthusiasm for building not only for The Sims 2 & Stoneyville, but also for the Sims 3.

Will catch up with you all when I get back.

Love & Hugs

I must admit I love nothing better than creating a totally trashed house for my sims to clean up. So far there are 4 houses:

Stoneyville Haunted House

The Stone House (TSR Renovation Challenge)

The Warehouse (TSR Rock God Challenge)

My Latest project is another trashed house just waiting for your sims to come in & clean it up... this is how it looks so far... it still needs to be trashed & is coming along nicely. It'll also be my first house with a hidden room.

Hope you like it.

Love & Hugs
