I finally found the last treasure chest. I'm so excited. It was getting down to the wire since the competiton ends tomorrow  or today depending on when you read this.  I gave it one more shot tonight before I went to bed and I'm glad I did. When I clicked on the chest, I thought it was going to tell me I had already claimed it and much to my surprise, it was the final 13th chest!  I can't believe that the chest was right under my nose.  I thought I had looked every where and I found the last chest in a ridiculously easy place. I must have looked there so many time or at least I thought I did. 

I want to wish everyone good luck in finding all 13 chests before the completiton closes and those who are already entered. This made my day!

After being a subscriber for 6 years to TSR, I finaly submitted by first recolors. I have only submitted residential lots and a couple of pets in the past.  My recolor of Holy Simoly's Arizona set was published and is now ready for download. I used Selina012's textures she submitted to Texture Challenge #136.  Here is a photo of my pubished submission.  I plan on making more recolor submissions. I have also submitted Wall and Floor sets that have been approved and are scheduled to be published 5/8 & 5/9.

I have been participating in the texture challenge for the past month and have recolored some furniture.  I just submitted my first wallpaper and floor set using the textures and colors from the textures to create them. I usually just make wall and floors for my personal use in the game.  I finally decided it was time to share. I also plan to submit my first recolor using the textures from texture challenge #136. I have only submitted lots and pets in the past but I am branching out and getting out of my comfort zone.  I'll let you know if they are approved. With the issues with the servers, I know they are behing on the submissions. They really have their work cut out for them! TSR is still the best place to download custom content!

Well, I finally found the 12th treasure chest today!  Now all I have to do is find lucky 13! I feel like I have dug every where, but the 13th chest eludes me.  Here's wishing you happy hunting or digging or what ever it takes to find them all!

I can't find the last 2 chests.  I beleive I have checked every where but they still elude me! I had to take a break from digging and I am working on a new house.  I like to build.  I am building a converted barn. It's almost done.  Just adding a bit of furniture.  I even made a couple of barn doors to add to the work room I built off the garage.  I'm trying my hand at recoloring Maxis items.  This was my first door. I need to test it out to make sure everything works. I plan on submitting it next week and hope it's approved.  I heard there is a back log on the submissions.  I'll just have to be patient and wait my turn.   Hopefully when I finish the barn house and return to the site I may find those final 2 chests that elude me. Here are a coupld of screen shots. Let me know what you think.  Happy hunting ;)

This is my first blog.  My name is Terri and I am searching for the pirate booty that is buried around here some where. So far I have dug up 11 and I am searching for the last 2. 

I have been downloading custom content for sometime now and I want to start submitting some of my own recolors.  I have participated in the Texture Challenge to get a feel for it.  So far I have submitted my residential lots.  It would be nice to furnish my homes with my own creations.  I would also like to learn how to make meshes.  Here is a photo of my first recolr using the TC132 texture challenge.  I would like to submit it to TSR. Please let me know what you think.
