Sept. 4th, Hollywood Glamour 1930s--The Sequel
Hollywood Glamour 1930s, The Sequel is set for publication on September 4, 2011. The Sequel is a add-on set for Hollywood Glamour 1930s and it features additional 1930s Art Deco furnishings, which are: a vanity table that combines mirror, glass, and metal, a living chair, chaise lounge chair, vanity stool, a designer fragrance (4 variations), makeup wall light, and 3 decorative rotary dial desktop telephone sets. The mirrored vanity table has 32 slots for decorative object placement.
I'm a big fan of old Hollywood black and white films and I hope to create a few more sets that are reflective of my favorite movies and Hollywood stars of 30s and 40s, like Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Carole Lombard, Myrna Loy, Mae West, Lana Turner, and many others.
I hope you enjoy the sets and will checkout a few of the great classic movies of old Hollywood!
Happy Simming,
Carolyn
Quick Tip if the Launcher Won't Install Files
In addition to the other advice I gave in my last post, sometimes it's not anything wrong with anything at all. Sometimes TSR, especially if you download something as a sims3pack, botches up the download, and you'll end up with a dud file. :( When you put it into the Launcher, instead of seeing a proper thumbnail, all you'll see is a brown box--you'll know it when you see it: TRUST. ;) 9 times out of 10, if you try to install anything showing up as a brown box in the Launcher, the installation will FAIL. But don't despair! Just go back and try again--this time, try to dl the desired item as a ZIP file, NOT a sims3pack. Extract the ZIP file wherever you need it, and reinstall the sims3pack(s) within. This time, the installation SHOULD work. ;) This happens to me when I download things at LEAST twice a day, and dl-ing the file as ZIPs instead has ALWAYS worked for me. ;)
Happy Simming! :)
Problems Installing My Lots & Sims
I have recieved a few complaints during my time here at TSR that my Lots fail to install with the Launcher. I find this very disturbing. I have had some people test my lots in-game with 100% success, so I know the files aren't BROKEN or anything, but when others tell me that they don't work, I get very confused. As of November 2011 I only have the WORLD ADVENTURES, AMBITIONS and LATE NITE EPs, and NO SPs at all, so any lots of mine dated BEFORE November 2011 do NOT require ANY EPs or SPs. Therefore, the problem clearly lies with who has certain CC properly installed, and who doesn't. With lots made ater November 2011, you may need to update your game to the latest patch or game EP I have to get them to appear. As of March 2012 I am currently using Patch Update 1.29, so as to avoid all of the social crap nonsense going on with Showtime.
1. ) PACKAGE FILES: as I ALWAYS say on my Downloads pages: You NEED to install the Extra CC Not Included files BEFORE you install my Lots and Sims into your Launcher, or it won't work! Download ALL of EA's FREE sets and things, including Riverview, at The Store if the frakking Launcher keeps telling you you're missing something.
When I list Package files I use in my creations, you MUST follow the links I give you, and download EVERYTHING I tell you to. The Launcher cannot read Package files, so you must already have the Package files in your Packages folder under Mods (under Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages). If you don't know what a Package file or Mods folder is, go here to learn what to do: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Installing_Package_Files . DO NOT try to install my Lots or Sims creations in the Launcher without having FIRST put all the necessary Package files in your Packages folder. DO NOT.
2. ) STORE STUFF (RIVERVIEW): Riverview is a MUST. Register your Base Game at EA's TS3 site, and download the world--it's FREE (thank goodness). A lot of CC I use on my landscapes comes from Riverview--stuff like the wood logs and the scarecrow, especially.
2b.) STORE STUFF (WORLDS): I currently have Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs and Lunar Lakes installed. There is exclusive CC that comes with these worlds that I may or may not use, so if you think something is missing, it might be from one of these 3 Store Worlds.
3. ) STORE STUFF (FREEBIES): As I said above, I recommend that you download it ALL. Any and everything Free at The Store: GET IT. I did, and I may or may not use any of these CC objects/clothes in my creations. Sometimes I use them without even realizing it, and TSR does not always list what is included in the creations, I have come to realize. If you don't know what is being offered freely, this is a good site to see everything all at once, and then go to the Store and get them: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/456640.page
3b.) STORE STUFF (FREEBIES--ACHIEVEMENTS and MYSTERY BUNDLES): I learned at Mod the Sims a few weeks/months back that it was possible to get free things at The Store by uploading your sim Memories to the website. Eager for anything my broke behind didn't have to pay for, I started uploading my Memories to My Studio, and sure enough I received a lot of cool things from EA, which are all listed here: http://crinrict-help.blogspot.com/2011/05/news-memories-and-sims-3-store.html so be sure to Upload your Memories, folks, so you can get the freebies, too! ^0^ Also, a few months ago EA started including a few TSM to TS3 conversions as Mystery Bundle Prizes for buying simpoint bundles at the Store. I have them ALL. You can see images and learn more about Mystery Items here: http://simsvip.com/?p=3877
4.) STORE STUFF (PAY): I won't name individual files, but I'll list Store Sets I own that I might use stuff from: Mediterranean Life, Viva Las Vegas Living, Regency Arcade, Olympian Physique, Morrocco Mystique, Buccaneer's Bounty, Hacienda Luxury, Indulgent Living, Zen Again, Asian Fusion, Old Town Starter, Worldly Goodies; Adrenaline Rush, Transportation to the Future, Pushin Pedals, Speedy Styles, ALL Futureshock, More Magic, Steampunk (plus Return and Kitchen), ALL Street Couture, Through the Spyglass Bedroom, Frontier Finds Living Room, ALL Faire Folk Life, Gothique Living and Sleeping, ALL Regal Living, Victorian Fashions, Complete Castle Kits, Tiki Living and Dining, Mid Century Fantasy Living, Killer Classics and Three Lakes, Boho Vintage Womens, ALL Jazz Age, Bayside Laundry and Kitchen, ALL Storybook.
5. ) EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOADS: I was lucky enough to snag a few downloads from the T-Mobile GetConnected promotion a few months ago, and got some things. The offer is no longer available, sadly: T-Mobile - Retro Record Player and T-Mobile - Music Arsenal.
So download all of these things, if you can. If you can't get the Sims Store Pay Items and Exclusive Content, then you can't use my lots, whether they're free or not, sorry :( ...at least, NOT VIA THE LAUNCHER. It won't work, so your only other option is to....
6. ) DELPHY's MULTI-EXTRACTOR as last minute rescue: Download my lots anyway, and then go to Mod the Sims and download Delphy's Multi-Extractor at http://www.modthesims.info/d/364038. This will allow you to turn any sims3pack into a package file, including lots and sims. Turn the lots/sims into a package file, and put it in your Library folder under Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Library if it's a Lot, or the SavedSims folder if it's a Sim, and load the game--EASY! You now have my lot/sims!
If you still have problems, PLEASE: LET ME KNOW!!! I have over 400,000 people who downloaded my things so far, and I can count on both hands the people who told me that they had problems. If I don't know it's broken, HOW will I know to fix it?
I hate knowing that people are having problems with my things. :( It takes me so long to do lots (especially the Furnished ones--those are a pill) and I truly and utterly mean this: HAPPY SIMMING!

Small set of curtains
Just wanted to let you know that I am busy with the Aria Kitchen set, but in the meanwhile here is a small curtainset. Based on a curtain from Generation, but a little bigger so it can fit 1 tiled windows better.... Still making the 2 tiled versions of it..
Have fun Simming!!!!
I've stopped publishing boring posts
I've decided that I'll only publish blogs that have important updates from now on. the few of you who do read this were getting bored of my ranting, I'm sure. so from now on, once a week i'll post story statuses on each of my stories, and that's it.
This is my real face :-)
This is the picture of mine I especially like, it's very simple, but 'has something behind it'
sorry for posting so much
but at least I have something to say! Now, I'm debating having another story to go along with menace and Infinity minus five, but I can't think of any plots without pets appearing! GAH!!!!!
I am crazy
absolutely crazy. You know why? Because my mind stupidly made the plots of all my stories have PETS. So I'm going out of my mind because I can't create a ton of stories when I'm bored because I need to draw it out long enough that there's no irregular gap between the last non-pet story for that series! Luckily for me "infinity minus five" has a very loose plot, and therefore can be produced more than Menace without having to worry about catching up to the pets.
the first "infinity minus five" will probably be out soon.
lol
I accidentally clicked the "bookmark this artist" button on my profile and it worked XD I don't think that should happen...
I know something you don't know
and that is the fact that I decided to cancel "my sister the angel" due to fear of it being offensive to some people. in it's place there will be a story called "Infity minus 5". it will be a combination scifi and comedy, as it will be about people living in a futuristic house that has a tendency to time-travel while everybody is asleep.
menace part 5 is in progress
and i think i should give you a preview:
MOOSoMi arrives!
Mia gets older! (but still younger than MOOSoMi)
Important thing with an exclamation point!
as october grows closer
my excitement grows heavier. Pets is coming October 18th. I have a story climax coming for Menace that needs Pets to exist; luckily there is enough build-up to that climax I'll probably be able to release a part of Menace every week or so, but I might be posting a little less because school starts soon, and I shall have homework...
Times, they are a changin'
Another year has passed, and it took a lot with it! My adorable (ha!) nephew told me over the weekend that my hair isn't even gray with streaks of auburn anymore. It's too gray to notice the streaks. Maybe it's time to consider that dye job I've kept putting off!
Hair from a can won't solve everything, though. My skin isn't wanting to stay put. It has begun the slow, downward slide. I've always hated putting cheek jowls on my simmies, but can't do much about the ones forming on my own face!
I changed my avatar to something a little more fitting because the one I was using (to remind myself to exercise) gave up on me and asked for a replacement. I freely admit, I've doctored the new gal up some. It might even be fair to say I've retained some of my dignity by fixing her up quite a bit.... After all, I do have Dr. Amelia Richmond, plastic surgeon extraordinaire, on retainer to "pretty up" my sims.
At the rate I'm going, Dr. Richmond will be very busy keeping me beautiful--at least in the sims world. I desperately need her to keep my sim nose from looking like my real nose, and I need collagen injections into my lips more than Tia Rose did. And don't even get me started on the emerging crows feet, frown lines, a furrowed brow! (Oh yeah, don't forget that unmentionable chin hair! (Thank god for facial wax.)
I choose to think of myself as taking on a distinguished look. That's a bald faced lie, but.... at least I'm truthful about the lies I tell!
EDIT: I forgot to mention one of the principle reasons this year was so painful. When I turned 35, I stopped having birthdays. The years continued to come and go, but no more birthday celebrations.
I decided to celebrate the anniversary of my 35th birthday, as opposed to actually having another birthday. That sounds all well and good, and I would gladly share that frame of mind with anyone else who chooses it.
This blessing comes with a curse, though. One day, you will wake up on your birthday, look in the mirror, and no longer be able to remember what that 35-year-old looked like! Maybe my mind is sliding downhill as quickly as my face....
Blog #1
I figured that it was about time that I actually start blogging on here; that way people know what I am working on currently as well as knowing why it is taking so darned long for me to put something out.:) It WILL be a little while yet before I actually have anything new for download. I have several different projects cooking all at the same time and mediforically speaking the kitchen is starting to get blazing hot.:) I do this to myself frequently, I get a burst of thirty different ideas and try to work on all of them all at once. Currently the things in the works are: 4 houses, 1 club, 1 apartment building, 5 picture packs, 3 stories, a possible t-shirt or two if I can get it right, and 6 sim videos for YouTube. You would think by now I would know better than to attempt to try to work on that amount all at once, but I just can't seem to stop it. (You should see the notebook I have filled with notes that I have for these things as well as possible ideas for future projects, it's almost full and virtually unreadable by anybody but myself.) I think that the first one that will be available will be the apartment building, it just needs a few finishing touches on the inside as well as the landscapeing to be perfected and THEN for me to actually play in it with a sim for a few hours to make sure that everthing is as it should be. So start watching for it within the next week or two... hopefully by then not only will I have that finished, but a few other projects as well.
Happy Simming!
New series after New Beginnings...
Hello there fellow readers!!
I was wondering what you would like to see in the new series after New Beginnings?
I was suggesting to write about Juan Scott Jr. and his adventures after leaving Decima, so Adam could take a break for awhile and let Juan take the pilot seat...
What do you think?
Back to life
Hello there simmers! As I'm writing this I've had school for a week now and it's last year aswell, that means more homework and such.. I do create a new set but so far I only got two meshes. I've barely meshed these last weeks and I don't know when really a new set will be finished. All I can say is that it will take me longer time to finish a set, and I have no inspiration on what to do.
What DO you want to have for the game? Tell me, and I might do it! :)
Have a pleasent week!

sad
you are making me sad. you know why? No comments on menace part four and an average rating of TWO POINT FIVE. I think the story is good! oh well-probably just some rating troll rating it a 1, making higher ratings balance it out to 2.5.
Seeing Red
# New outfits to be uploaded shortly.... :) # outfits that consist of Senim and red... I just couldn't stop myself from pulling away from the crownd and going off on a limb! I think that they are uberly cute and i love the colours together..... once again with strappy sandals, as I adore them and the way of alpha editing (Creators Joke.... lolcats) but yeah. I'mmegaly prod of myself and think that I'm gonna like this passtime, even though I have been creating for a while So, go check em out and tell me what you think. Also new set "breeze" to be available tommorow.... Thanks, and, well, goodnight! (it;s 6:30 in Aus Right now.... lol)

Winds of Change
So... been awhile since I've had a presence on here. Mostly because the last several times I tried to update my blog my post got eaten by the techno monster out there or something. I gave up for awhile.
You might notice that I have another lot coming out soon. Yeah, believe it? Well, I quit my job of 11 years at the end of July so I have some free time right now. I'm not working at the moment. Not sure what I'll do. I hope to make a go as an independent graphic designer. Just trying to get my stuff in order to do it. Anyway, new lot due out the 31st and I'm working on another one.
I was playing RIFT for awhile. That took me away from sims. The summer didn't improve online gaming so I cancelled that sub the other day. It was fun for awhile, until all the kiddies signed on this summer. Now it's just annoying. So I'm happily spending some of my free time getting back into sims. I've got lots on the backburner. Stuff that has been bugging me for a long time and just never had the time or desire to fix the problems. My new lot, Rowen, is a good example of little irritants that finally got stamped out. It's an overhaul of my Teagan and Eamon lots. Just some little stuff I didn't like. It's also my first lot using CC. I used a lot of stuff from The Sims 3 Store. I have it. Why not? It'll just go poof if people don't have the stuff when they install the lot. And, this version is all pumped up with stuff from all the new EPs and stuff packs.
My next lot, or at least the one I'm dinking with right now, will be my first shot at a TSRAA lot. Should be a good lot when I'm done. After that I want to do some new lots. I still don't have my office organized so I have no clue where all my house plans are, but I've got the time now to clean it up so maybe it will get done once I'm tired of being a kid and playing with all my toys.
I'm loving unemployment. Such a nice break. I never took more than a day or two off at a time when I would take some time, but never anything to really get a break or relax. And I haven't been on vacation since I was a kid. I do hope to make it on my own though. I don't relish working for some snot-nosed, spoiled brat, witch again. Or really anyone.
Life sucks. Go play.
Thanks for your comments :)
I was on holiday so i couldn't reply your lovely comments! Millions of thanks and hugs :) x
Love, Simay

My Mom said I can Subcribe!! WOO!! Now I can't let mona ANYWHERE near mey computer. I'm watching you...
2 new houses coming up
I'm so excited!! I spent a day on each house and I'm pretty pleased with how they've turned out :D
WOW! 500,000 and Counting!
Thank you so much for all of your support and wonderful feedback! I can hardly believe 500,000+ downloads! WOW! I'm literally speechless at the number!
TSR has been such a wonderful and welcoming community. I'm very glad I accidently found this site and decided to try to create and submit here. Everyone involved has been so amazing! Thank you again!

Short Stories?
Okay.....so it takes me about a month to feel guilty about not submitting said promised stories, hence why I'm writing this.
My short gap of being on top of things went rather quickly and now I'm in fact BEHIND. Anyway regardless of that I am finally getting on top of my stories that I hope to submit in the NEAR future. I just finished making the sims for my new Tomb Raider story, (nobody looks different because I backed up all my simmies from my old computer *phew*) I just need to finish off writing the whole story for it.....I think i've written as far as chapter 6? So I'll get that done as soon as I can.
Also I've realised that the next story I submit will be my 100th story published!!!! So I was thinking of doing something special for that. I found some old short stories from when I was 6 or 7, so I was thinking of putting them altogether and bringing them to life in sim land. They are very short so I could get about 3 or 4 in and it still would add up to about 20 shots. I don't know I just thought it would be a good idea as a sort of....see how far I've come type of things. And also because I found them amusing. The things a 6 year old writes about! Could also get some other of the writers here on TSR to publish some of their stories from childhood aswell, I just think they're hilarious. Anyway leave your thoughts in the comments.
Adios xox
kudos
Over the past few days my kudos has been increasing moreso than usual. I was confused until I realised-my kudos income used to be solely from thanking the artist, logging in, and posting stories. However, now that I'm actually using the features of the site for more than just downloading and posting, otherwise being an online introvert, I've been having a much better time around the site!
I Hate False Nails.....
Ok, so, if you ever go out and want to dress up your look, never, EVER choose false nails. Why? you ask? wel,, I Have devised a 5 point explaination to tell you why:
1~ They Hurt! REAL BAD!
2~ They can be different lenghts and dont look right
3~ When you peel them off, that KILLS
4~ you'll get annoyed with them easily
5~ You cannot do the simplest of tasks, I mean, i tried to pull up my zip to my jeans and nope.... couldnt do it!
So, if ever you want to dress up your look, always, and I mean ALWAYS think twice about false nails... Try bangles, a ring, flashy belt, or even PAINT your nails, just, please, don't ever use false nails.... :D

good movie
x-men first class was a good movie. It was flawed in context, but it was good.
really good, although the first scene made me think I was watching the wrong film XD
Holy Crap...
Everywhere I go, Pralinesims or something, downloads everything! I wish I had her game. She has like millions of downloads!! I'm so jelous right now... -.-
the unicorn cat story status
story status: on hold
this story will begin in OCTOBER after the sims 3 pets comes out due to overly important focus on the pets features.
as a heads up, this may end up being a rather girly story as it is about a girl a cat and a unicorn.
my sister the angel story status
story status: in developement
*NOTE: she is not a religous angel. She is a girl who died, and rather than passing on to whatever afterlife there is, she became the guardian of her brother. These are basically winged ghosts who get hurt each time the one they are protecting gets hurt or does something bad*
intro: not going to exist
part one: in progress
part two: nonstarted
Menace story status
story status: In progress
intro: published
part one: published
part two: published

part four: finished, to be submitted Monday
part five: in progress
part six: not started yet
Since i stoped playing Sims 3...
Since i stoped playing sims 3, my Guns n'Roses colection has been unfinished, so i started thinking on making the colection anyway, but on Sims 2. I know this will disappoint the Sims 3 players who were expecting all the other GNR members on Sims 3, but unfortently i stoped, has i said before.
The reason i stoped playing sims 3 its, well, i didnt like the game as much as i like Sims 2, i think is easyer and a better game.
Once again, im sorry. The GNR Collection may or may not be finished, i'll try to make 'em all. Im defenetly doing Axl Rose, so sit down, and wait for Axl, he will appear anyway, like he does on shows, after a hour or two :p
technical difficulties
have caused Menace part 3 to be re-entered into a pending state. :( oh well. for those of you who couldn't read it before it disappeared, basically what happened was: They figured out there was a spy watching them, then we introduced Joan, the mortal butler who is an old friend of OLiVE's and the only mortal the family trusts.
