I have not had the time to create or even play sims 2 in a long while.  So, it was very odd this week when I felt like clearing out my folder I keep of designs, fabrics, etc, and found myself wanting to make a bunch of walls.  So I have begun uploading what I have done so far.  They are almost all for children.  I have no idea why, it just worked out that way. Here a few previews of what I have doing..

I submitted my purple alien skin and it has been pending since Nov.26, 2008. I have never submitted a skin before, but this seems like a long wait to me. Anyways, when/if it finally gets published I hope everyone likes it. The male skins are a bit darker then the female, I don't know why I did it, variety I guess.

NOTE: I have not been doing any elder outfits lately because Maxis has included a bunch with Apartment life (I think it was AL)I tend to make new stuff when I need it, and I just haven't needed it lately.

I have been creating an alien city and wanted some green hair etc. for my green skinned citizens. Nothing really special, but I am uploading them in the off chance that someone else might want to use them. I did 4 male & 4 female hair styles. All are the same color/texture. Mostly because I hate downloading hair only to realize there are no beards etc. in the right shade to match, I am also uploading some matching facial hair for the males. Everything is off of the original game pack, so there are no expansions or meshes needed. :)

I have been soooo burnt out the last few months I have not even played sims 2, never mind created for it. I am awaiting the arrival of the newest expansion (Apartment Life) that my husband ordered for me from Amazon. Hopefully it will bring back a little enthusiasm for the game, fingers crossed.

Well, one of the features of a mini-site is the ability to "feature" creations. I had no idea how to figure that out, as some of my creations that I like a lot are not always the ones that are downloaded or commented on the most. (example, I really like my elder female overalls, but they have had a horrible response download wise.) So what I finally decided is to feature items according to download numbers. My 2 most downloaded female, male, and wall/floors are what I will feature.

So I have been playing the Double Trouble challenges this week-end & am having an interesting issue I have never had before...Apparently David is living in the Dorm of Death...Every day brings another inferno. I have a few screenshots to upload & lets just say no sim is safe (death while playing mahjong?!). I have installed sprinklers and fire alarms in every room & still fear the reaper. So far David has made it to his Senior year...Fingers crossed!

So, I hit 20,000 Kudos and figured "What the hey, I guess I'll get a mini site".

Well, an introduction...
I have been creating since the summer of 2007.
I mostly do elder clothing with a few walls & floors thrown in.
When it comes to my clothing, I never use custom meshes. I hate downloading something and not being able to use it because I forgot or can't find the correct mesh. Also I know what a pain it can be to have a bunch of custom meshes and a slow computer. Most of the clothes I make (about 90%) do not need expansion packs, because I know not everyone is able to jump out and purchase the latest expansions & stuff packs. As of right now all of my clothing is Elder...Did anyone notice the latest Stuff Pack (Kitchens & Bath) had not 1 clothing item for elders?! Let me tell you, Grammy enjoys a warm bathrobe as much as the next gal!
