Well . . . .
No one has said anythng about the possbility of a dining room add-in. Does that mean no one is interested, or that you are too busy to read my drivel right now?Next up are telephones. It took me a while before I released them because the handset still showed up in beige and I thought I'd done something wrong. Turns out you have to put in the phone, go into buy mode and then back to design mode and choose a different color handset separately. Very strange. But it means you can have the same color handset, too. Or the beige looks good too. Up to you.
What's in the queue? There are lots more rugs, floors, walls, paintings, etc. In addition, I've started participating in the Texture Challenge forum, so I've been making sets for that. They will show up in time. If anyone gets impatient for anything they see there, let me know. I can always give it a bump.
In addition, I'm made a couple of single bed bedroom sets and the plain rugs in two sets I told you about earlier. Haven't uploaded those yet. And there are more Turano sets to come.
I also had a request for some walls, so they have the gothic arch molding and a solid color on the bottom and the two-tone stripes like those just released on the top. I may never be done with the 20 colors because people keep suggesting more things!
I'm also trying to finish up a set of Arizona bookcases to go with my Arizona desks. I really like the Holy Simoly stuff and will probably do more of that in the future. There is at least one Holy Simoly Arizona Living Room resulting out of the texture challenge. There is a pic of it in the forum, so stop by!
Turano Dining Rooms
One person can affect change. I had someone comment that the Turano Dining Room looked too empty. So I was thinking about making an add-on pack after I finish with the dining rooms of little decorative things that could go in it to spruce it up. First of all, I'd like to know if that interests any of you. Second, I'd like to know what kind of things you might like to see. Any suggestions, no matter how bizarre, will be considered. But I'll still make up my own mind, being the stubborn one I am.Oh, and I almost forgot. Thank you to everyone who has participated in my latest poll. You guys do like your kitchens, don't you? I think I'll be concentrating on living rooms and bedrooms mostly for a while now and get back to the kitchens eventually. And there may also be a restaurant in there somewhere.
Plain Rugs
I had a request for some plain rugs. Here is what I've come up with. Which do you like better? The one with the white piping or the rose piping? (Keep in mind, they'll be in all 20/21 colors if you aren't partial to rose.) I'm having trouble making up my mind, but I think 2 sets would be a bit much, since I already have the NK PI Geometric Rugs.Cool!
Hey, look at the big silver thing over there! Isn't that cool! Thanks to Thomas and Anita and Per and all the rest of the staff at TSR that have been so helpful! And thanks also to you wonderful people who keep coming back and getting more of my things for your little people! I really appreciate it. I'll try to live up to the recognition.Mini-Milestone
Boy that was fast. I went from 1 million in the beginning of January to 1.5 million now. Thank you to everyone who downloads, thanks and comments. Without you, I don't know if I would do what I do.More new things coming. Several recolors of AnoeskaB's Turano Dining Room. A wall TV set in the 20 colors. Lots of cool walls, floors, rugs and paintings.
Thank you for making this mini-milestone possible!
How Nice!
What a fitting tribute to the end of the Solander/Pimp My Sims Kitchens. It's on the front page! How nice! Now I don't mind so much saying goodbye to a set that has really become like an old friend.I think I've settled on 7 recolors of AnoeskaB's Turano Dining Room, plus a small pack of items to add to her red recolor. There might be more sometime in the future, but I think that's it for now. I have yet to use it in my real Sims' homes. I haven't had any time to play. I can't wait to do that.
Well, I'm off for another day of work, work, work. Blah, blah, blah. It's Monday. Boy I need to cheer up.
Life in the Way
Real Life keeps getting in the way. I want to play! **pouting now** I won't be able to be very active for a little while due to work and other real-life stuff getting in the way, but there is still quite a bit in the queue, so you probably won't notice much difference.It had to happen sooner or later. I will soon release my 20th and last (for now) Solander/Pimp My Sims modern kitchen. These kitchen recolors have had a tremendous response and I am very happy I was able to recolor them and will be sorry to see that last one come out, just because it means there will be no more. I hope you have enjoyed them.
Maybe after I put the finishing touches on the Turano Dining Rooms I'll look at doing some more conventional kitchens. But first I want to do some living rooms or bedrooms where the fabric isn't plaid. I love my plaids and there are still a few more plaid inspired sets to come, but I'm reaching the end.
I have lots of ideas, just not much time to put them into practice. I'm also trying to work on learning to mesh, but I've reached a standstill for the moment due to lack of time to devote to it. So I've decided to be patient and take things as they come for now. I'd also like to do some lots eventually, but I need to become a much better builder first. My houses are really the pits. And I have some outfits that I started work on and never finished. And there are some swimsuits around here somewhere waiting to be uploaded. I'll find them eventually. (I'm sooo organized! lol)
Anyway, you can probably tell I've stayed up past my bedtime, and I need to crash. Later.
A Poll
Cool. I can create polls now. My first one. I'll be asking for your votes periodically as I come up with new ways to coax information out of you so I can make you better stuff. Hope you'll vote. It'll give you kudos and give me info. Best of all, it replaced that wallpaper that has been at the top of my site for ages. I just hated putting up my last entry when my last entry might be something everyone wanted and it wouldn't show up for months. So I always put that poor wallpaper up last so no one will look or care. Now I have a lovely poll to replace it. Much better. I just need to update regularly with a new poll and you won't ever have to look at that wallpaper again! Super!I'm continuing to work on the Turano Dining Room recolors. judyhugssnoopy already beat me to it, though and I really like her recolor. Hers is all black and silver, so check it out. Mine won't be out for a while, sad to say. Got a big queue going here. Anyway, if you want to tell me anything, don't hesitate to drop me a line. There is a comment button on here somewhere that you can use. Feel free. Have a great Friday!
