Blog #2
Today I uploaded "Romper Apartments" and it should be available for download on Sept 12. I did run a sim through it for a few days to test it, and that particular sim seemed to like it quite a bit. Next thing that should be coming up is another picture packet, though I am not sure which one will be finished up first. (So typical of me to work on three of those all at the same time.) But when I have those finished and properly tested I will be sure to have those out as soon as possible. I also have a house about to come out, the structure itself finished but there are actually some decorations that I will need to create to finish the house.:) So that one might be another week or so yet, depending on how long the other projects take. Happy Simming!
Return of the CloudwalkerNZ
Been away for couple of months. Got bored and tired with sims after doing my last poses.
Hopeful with Pet comeout soon. I won't get bored as easly.
Just finished an old project - Pirate Cutlass and uploaded it. And begin to try to finish another old project - Zeldar's Master Sword and Shield.

Sims 3 Jump
Okay so I've been contemplating switching to making sims 3 stories for some time now, and I think I'm actually going to finally make the jump! I will however make my next 2 tomb raiders stories for the sims 2, but after that I'm moving to sims 3!
It's official!
What finally tipped my decision was that fact that practically everyone else has moved over to the sims 3, so not many people are making or reading sims 2 stories anymore. Because I'm a major nerd I just spent the last 5 minutes calculating the average comments of the first page of both the sims 2 and the sims 3 stories.
So in case you were wondering......
Comments for Sims 2 averages at: 3.0694 per story.
and
Comments for Sims 3 averages at: 8.5897 per story.
To really accurately calculate which one gets read more I should have averages the actual views.....but you know I thought of that after I averaged the comments and really couldn't be bothered to gather any more information than that, yes I know I'm lazy.
So to wrap all this up i'll be making two more tomb raider stories using the sims 2, then I'll start writing with the sims 3!
Adios all xox
Thanks everbody
I´ve been out of town for the last 3 days so I haven´t had a chance to thank you all for your congrats. I am happy and honored to be and FA and hope I can live up to it :). I´m a bit tired right now having a late night with a bit of party and a 9 hour busdrive so I´ll sign of for now and throw me in front of the telly :).
There's Never Really a Subject......
......?
Ah yes, you don't have to worry about the stupid idea of short stories......I regretted it as soon as I made it. :P and even if you wanted to read it (because yes i DID actually make it) you can't because I unknowingly freshly installed windows 7 and lost EVERYTHING yet again. I am just having the worst computer luck lately. But I've managed to fix most of my newly self inflicted problems........reinstalled sims 2 for.....what must literally be the 50th time.
Also I started writing again last night! :) So happy. I actually have my real proper desire to write again! I managed to rewrite the 6 chapters of my next tomb raider story. I really wasn't happy with what I'd written, but managed to correct it! Wooooo! So my current goal is to have finished writing the next tomb raider story before I go away on Thursday......which I think is do-able. Then next week I'll be able to start making them in-game and PUBLISHING them!!!!! How I miss publishing stories!
Hopefully the promised stories will be out soon!! :D
First Kanafas pattern is upcoming
I started to create traditional czech canvas patterns called Kanafas.
This decorative pattern is very popular for countryside houses in old traditional shape - strips and cubes always white and next second color, mainly red.
Modern pattern works with various colors and sizes of stripes. We can use it for bedclothes, tablecloth and curtains. Usually it is not using for clothing today, it is absolutely retro thing. In 50th years Briggite Bardot made famous this "vichy" pattern, when she used it for her wedding dress.
Quest for Trib
Sorry about the long delayed folks, besides encountering some writers block and work place-loads blues, I have selected the screens shots to use in the final chapter of Quest for Tribulation. I have 53 in total with title page and closer included. There will be a epilogue which I think will be about 10 screen shots. I'm currently about half way done with the story on the screens and hope to be finishing up soon. Hopefully the computer don't explode with the upload.
Kate Part 3
My latest set, Kate Part 3, comprises another five items inspired by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. This time I've re-created four of her outfits plus one clutch bag. All items are base game compatible except the trench coat, which requires both Nightlife and Seasons.
Kate has the most amazing wardrobe. There are so many gorgeous outfits to choose from. This time I've gone for the following:
1. The very stylish Burberry trench coat with the frilled hem which Kate famously wore to toss pancakes in Belfast in March. It works pretty well using the Nightlife coat mesh, although Kate wore the coat fully closed whereas I've had to re-create it open at the neck. Ulker's scarves go very nicely with this coat. The very cute boots are by Aquatalia. To be pedantic, Kate didn't actually wear these boots with this coat, but rather with a customised Catherine Walker coat. However, as the mesh had boots, I used a little artistic license. Obviously, as the mesh comes packaged with the Nightlife EP, you will need to have Nightlife installed for this outfit to appear in your game. I have categorised this coat purely as outerwear, therefore you will also need to have Seasons installed in order for the coat to show up in your game.
2. The elegant Alexander McQueen military coat Kate wore on Armed Forces Day in June. This uses the same Ulker mesh I used for the Shola dress. Kate carried a beautiful Anya Hindmarch clutch bag to complement this coat and I have created a version of this bag to go with the outfit using NataliS's versatile clutch bag mesh. I have categorised this coat as both everyday wear and outerwear.
3. A couple of days later Kate wore a striking white summer dress by designer Alice Temperley for a visit to watch Andy Murray compete in the Wimbledon tennis championship. Finding a suitable mesh for this one was tricky as the dress has a distinctive tiered skirt. I went with an old Chriko mesh which I've used in the past, which was the closest match I could find. Unfortunately, the site where this mesh originated, 2-f0r-u.de, no longer exists, so I have included this mesh in the download.
4. A couple of weeks ago, Kate again wore a military-inspired Alexander McQueen ensemble to visit Birmingham. It's fairly unusual to see her wearing separates. Again, finding the right mesh was a challenge as I needed a non-skintight knee length alpha skirt to accommodate the two front slits featured in the McQueen skirt. I finally settled on a mesh by Liana.
A big thank you to all the talented mesh creators who give me the opportunity to re-create these real life outfits for The Sims.
All outfits are available for adults and young adults.
If you like these outfits, please check out my previous sets: Kate Part 1 and Kate Part 2.
New Creations on the Way
It's been a while since i posted my first two creations and i just want to let you know that they are more on the way. All my houses will be available here at the The Sims Resource, and most of my sims will be available at the Sims 3 Community. Thanks
TSRAA Lot
Here I am again! My latest lot is due out tomorrow. I'm really excited about this one. It's my first and probably my only lot using TSRAA content. I tried to keep track as I worked on it so I wouldn't forget to credit anyone. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. There's also some store content in there too. Rowen seemed to be well received so I thought it wouldn't hurt. I say this might be my only lot utilizing TSRAA content because in my sorting of my CC I've come across some stuff from non-TSRAA artists. I hate to lose it because it's stuff I frequently use. But it kind of makes it harder to keep track of "safe" content and stuff I have to go track an artist down for permission. A hassle to say the least.
Garahel is a renovation of my Ayesleigh lot. I don't know if any of you remember, ages ago, I said I wanted to do a better version of it and put my spin on the architect's design. I never had time until now. Being unemployed is wonderful, even if it keeps me up at night worrying about money. I recently had to gut my game because, well, I don't know why. It just refused to work one day. Huh, worked just fine the day before. Anyway, I dumped my folder, generated a new one, and started adding back CC. That's when I decided to do a TSRAA lot because I had to reinstall all my CC anyway. Garahel would've been up sooner but I had a real bear of a time getting it uploaded. It just wouldn't go. I tried for days and finally it went yesterday. Sheesh. So it's a little delayed. I think I fixed everything I didn't like about the original. Some stuff just bugged me. Especially the roof. I altered some walls and gutted the entire upstairs so I could redo the roof again. I think this version is much better. A better roof, a little more room upstairs, a basement, lots of landscaping (which I usually don't do a lot of since I like stuff very simple and uncluttered), huge pool, reworked the master suite, and many little other tweaks to get it just right. I'm still not sure if I'm game for my orange master suite but I stared at it a lot and nothing screamed "redo me I'm gawdy". So orange it stayed.
I don't have plans for anything new yet. I'm still sorting stuff in my office from back when I moved. Always the last room to be done. I haven't found my house plans and written ideas yet. I might just go looking for inspiration online. So much paper to go through. And I hate doing it. I'll spend days sitting on the floor going through this stuff. Yuck.
I put my sim into the game and plan to collect some screenies. Maybe I'll update the look of my minisite with new graphics. Dunno. I do like the cookies. They make me drool. I'll leave you with that thought.
Tips, hints and info..
If you are new to The Sims 3 or new to using custom content in your game, then please visit my FB page and read my notes.
I have given information about how to put custom content into your game .simpack files and .package files. You will also find information about other aspects of your game too...
I hope you find the information useful, I will be updating my notes with more tips and info....
Vacation
I'll be away for two weeks on a much needed vacation to the wonderful Adirondack mountains adorned in their spectacular fall colors, then on to the coast of Maine where we'll have a seaside cottage with our sons and their wives. Those lobsters better start looking for a good hiding place. . . :-)

Large Arch problem
Hi, As you maybe have seen, the large arch that I made doesn't work as it should be. I'm working on it, so it will work in the correct way. Sorry for the problem. Greets SuzannnekeNew Conservatory
Making a new build set for a conservatory. new windows door and roof windows and hopefully roof decor like in british conservatorys. Work in progress windows ok door need new uv map but i plan to mesh up all the roof windows then fix uvmap and muti, mask etc.
Eventually got my main roof panels meshed to my liking (angles are a real pain) so now on with roof sides. Interstingly when testing in game i lose parts of the mesh when viewed from differant angles so i tried with some ea windows and found the same problem. Not sure if its a game glitch or my graphics card (anyone else have this prob) heres pic of roof mesh
Nothing new this week!!
Sorry guys!
I'm away on a trip for awhile, so nothing to come up with this week.
Will start working on the new chapter for New Beginnings asap when I get back.
Take care and stay chill ;-)

New Laptop - sims reinstall.
Hey,
It's been ages since I wrote here, but then I've never been much for blogging. But I'm a bit bored while I wait for my reinstall to complete. When I say reinstall I mean Sims 2. My old laptop bit the flexible bullet and now I have my mothers old one - which is less then a year old - and she got a new one. She so scammed me out of a nicer laptop but she bought me eight books and a book club member ship so I am happy. I am hoping this time around I can figure out a way to get all the screenshots I take to show up on my comp so I can post stories on here. Otherwise they'd be kind of boring.
Maybe one day i can find out how to make stuff but right now I way to busy. House work is kicking my butt. I never realized how hard it was to keep a simple kitchen from overflowing with dirty dishes and crap. Anyways gotta go finish my install.
Lots of love,
Lillian Alice Cullen.

Question about text in storytelling
Could somebody please tell me how it's possible to get the text in the middle when writing a story here at TSR? I know it's possible somehow... but I just can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks in advance!
TSR items not showing up? Anyone else having this problem?
Hmm i haven't downloaded clothing in a while and decided to go on a bit of a spree but i've found with the exception of the two or three thing by the select artists none of the clothing from septemper is showing up in my game? I dont think its my game as clothing from other sites have been working normally, is this happening to anyone else???
EDIT* Well ok today's worked but the others still dont for me lol
