Hi guys!

I'd just like to quickly clarify that the Sim that I've just submitted, Ford Perry, requires all expansion packs and stuff packs up until Generations! Yeah, I'm not sure why it displayed World Adventures as the only required EP when I submitted my Sim. :/ I'm really sorry if I've inconvenienced any of you guys, though. I'll do my best to eliminate such errors in the future!

Just a side note though, the version of Generations that I had when I created Ford Perry was v8.0!

Cheers!

Boooo...just as I thought of uploading a lot that looked quite good, I realised that my Sim had taken the furniture with her after she got married to my male Sim. I forgot how I placed the object, not to mention pictures on walls. Sigh....I was planning for a sort of COMEBACK. How dumb and exaggerated can I sound? -__- Anyway, I am working on a few residential lots and an apartment that is probably due by the end of this December?

Man...I promised to provide TSR anytime this year....apparently, I haven't submitted a lot AT ALL. Oh gosh. I better get working on those structures or I can't make the deadline. =O That's when I'll be dead meat. Well, not literally. I've tons of homework to complete too, hopefully I could find time to do that in the midst of my 'COMEBACK'. Oh whatever, I'm starting to sound like a person with a supernova-sized ego.

Well, hope you guys have a happy December, with Christmas around the corner and a new year ahead! =D

I've been to many forums that discussed about the much-awaited The Sims 3, including TSR's.

I've noticed that there are many people unhappy about the game because of some cool features that are absent from the game. The Sims 3 was criticized because the magical feeling that the Sims 3 emit was far thinner than the previous Sim games.

First of all, I feel sorry for anyone who feels that The Sims 3 was dissapointing and felt that it was not worth investing their cash into the game. Many claimed that the hype of The Sims 3 spurred imaginative ideas and made you think that Sims 3 was going to have features that are beyond your wildest dreams. The feeling was so inducing that we totally forget about the possible negative aspects that The Sims 3 can hold. That happened to me when EA announced that the next expansion pack for The Sims 2 was Seasons.

I joined in the hype of that cool expansion pack; I frantically searched for videos on the game, get the latest details on it - I ended up thinking what Seasons would contain. Would you be able to dig snow during Winter, as ordered by your parents? Would your Sim families sit down by the warm fireplace and cuddle each other? Would your Sims feel cool and smile while sleeping soundly? I totally forget that EA can be really selfish and not passionate when deciding the features to include in the game. So, when I played the game, I was massively dissapointed and agreed with some reviews that gave The Sims 2: Seasons a thumbs down.

However, when I looked at the big picture, I figured that I should blame myself for not enjoying the game. Due to this, I would ignore all Sims games preview, sneak peek and rumours. I did that for Bon Voyage, Freetime and Apartment Life. I found myself becoming fond of Sims again.

I have two advice for Sims 3 players, as for now.

ONE: You should never be excited about a Sims expansion pack because you will tend to create imaginations about the game, which will never come true. So, you should stay calm and flush out the thought of that expansion pack from your mind, then only will you find yourself liking the game once you have played it.

TWO: For Sims 3 players, I know most of you are dissapointed about the game. Perhaps you should stay calm and try to explore the game a little more? Give it a more time. (3 months or so) I'm quite sure that you would adore the game. :)

I had finished designing some houses that I intend to upload to TSR. Before that though, I came to know of the news on the breakdown here. I hoped and prayed that it would not affect my ability to submit some work that I am longing to share. However, to my dissapointment, the preview picture did not appear when I previewed my submission. :(

I don't know whether it's a deliberate occurrance or an error, but I hope someone could enlighten me on this or I hope that TSR will update on this matter ASAP. :)

I'm not sure if TSR has heard about it, but I heard that Maxis may delay the release of Sims 3. [I heard about it from Insimenator first, then it had the link to the website which has the full details.]

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ea-evaluating-sims-3-release-date

"We are evaluating the launch window. The game looks great and in the near future we'll have more information."

So we wouldn't bank on being able to play it on 20th February.

I hope TSR might put this news on the frontpage as soon as possible.

Also, I hope that with the extra time Maxis might have, they would perfect the game and make it as enjoyable as the first and second.

By the day it gets more boring.
By the day it becomes increasingly difficult to post a new lot on TSR.
By the day concepts and principles of some subjects become more difficult to understand
By the day the pile of assignments stacks up
By the day stress increases
By the day I get more wrinkles and eyebacks. LOL :D
By the day I hear more sarcasm among my sibilings.
By the day I get more nervous as my talentime competition inches closer
By the day I find it hard to find time to play The Sims 2.
By the day I find that nothing seems right
By the day I become more nerdy! :D
By the day I keep dreaming to really come back to my 3rd home.
By the day I find more activities to keep myself occupied. (I asked for it!) :P
By the day I get used to the bad days and the weird arguments.
By the day my vocals improves bit by bit
By the day I mix around with more friends of different social groups
By the day I remember that my parents have paid for my education, therefore I must appreciate it
By the day my stamina strengthens
By the day I am improving insignificantly on diong standard pull-ups.
By the day I keep telling myself that I will succeed one day.

That is what keeps me intact everyday. Look on the bright side - whether you have 365 bad days, you know that 360 of them will eradicate eventually, since you WILL get used to it.

Well, hello fellow members! I have been submitting a few lots, all at an inconsistent pace. I'm sorry if some of you expect more lots created by me, because the bad news is that I might not submit my next lot for the coming few months. I am really packed with schoolwork, talentime rehersals and co-curricular activities.

However, that doesn't mean I haven't been playing The Sims 2 and haven't been building lots. I have finished a total of 3 houses, which I am planning to submit by the end of June 2009. I will upload a sneak peek on one of my houses I plan to submit soon. So, enjoy that! :)

Perhaps within the expected time frame, I might be able to find time to build more so that I can share with others here on TSR. :)

Well, back to my assignments. :\

See you soon!

really clever to revamp this very amazing website before sims 3 is due in weeks or a month (i think?)
im not trying to be sarcastic though it sounds like it. :)
