I was recently presented with some information about making hair for TS3, so I decided to give it a go! It's not the best, but I'm quite happy with the way that it turned out for my first Sims 3 Hair! :D The clip is redesignable, and the hair has working highlights/roots/tips etc, and it's fully animated./p pimg src=http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f278/sim_man123/PulledBackHair.jpg border=0 width=706 height=622 style=border: 1px solid black; //p

Hi everyone! Update on my newest set, my first bedroom for TS3. So far I've only made the bed, I'll update with more pictures as I make more parts of the set!

http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/sim_man123/blog/view-post/post/14283/ 2009-11-01T02:46:26Z pIn response to a few requests I've gotten, I've converted a number of flowers from TS2 over to TS3. This set wasn't in response to my poll (as it's still going to be open for a while), but I figured I'd go ahead and knock this set out of the way while I wait./p pIncludes Bromeliad, Bird of Paradise, Marigold, Peruvian Lillies, Zinnia, Racaria Flower, and Windflower. All the flowers are recolorable./pulliThe marigolds have two palletes that can be changed, but because of the way I had to blend the mask together to get that effect, the colors you select with the design tool are NOT going to be the color that appears on the flower. For the default of yellow and orange, in design tool, it's red and an odd shade of brown. Most color combinations can be achevied, you'll just have to mess with the colors in game and see what looks right./liliThe yellow part on top of the Bird of Paradise is recolorable/liliSome plants have recolorable foliage as well, if you want to make them brown or some such to make them look dead. (Random idea, but I figured someone might make use of that ability)br //li/ul pimg src=http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f278/sim_man123/GardenPlants-Main.jpg border=0 width=720 height=502 //p

I myself still have TS2 as well as TS3 - I'm sure some other people still have both as well. I know there are some people who have moved on from TS2 completely and only play TS3 now, and people who have stayed with TS2 rather than moving on to TS3.br /br /In regards to this, kind of unsure what game I should be making content for! I have no preference, seeing as I play neither game - I'm asking for your opinion instead./p pBased on download numbers, it seems the majority of people are downloading content for TS3, as content for TS2 is rapidly declining. Everyone, please vote!/p pIf results show that TS3 is the most dominant, as I think it is - I will continue on the way I am. Making sets for TS3 and converting some of them to TS2 based on difficulty and how much time I have. If results show that there are still a lot of people who want new, exclusive content for TS2, I'll make a few sets that are just for TS2./p pAs I get results, I'll update you all with what my plans are!/p
