Tombs
A few of you may be wondering about my prolonged dusky spell. Not to worry. I got bit by the tomb spider and since the first of the year I've thrown all my energy into learning and producing them. I will have some tangeable results by the time our next theme hits the streets in April.
In a sub catagory of lot downloads lies a catagory called tombs, it's been there since around September last and there are 9 submissions in it. After almost three months of working with them I can now understand completely why that is. I wish though that more people would find that extra bit of tenacity to stick with it because there are SO many new possibilities and realms now for the builder to explore than one could ever imagine. This first project of mine, for instance, has found me totally caught up not just in constructing the tomb but building a plausible story line and plot around it. There are other spin off bunny trails too like story telling, machima and sim characters that can all tie into any given tomb project . You can even try a collaberative effort as I'm doing with Fredbrenny, one of our premier story writers.
Whether traditional or digital, how many strategy type games are out there? It's really too difficult to number, isn't it. Well that's the blue ocean that I'm seeing here. The exciting challange in it for me is how to translate some of those concepts into a sim tomb. In this first project I've attempted to put a working sudoku puzzle in the tomb for your sim to work out, just make sure they bring a pencil and grid paper in with them.
If you are a builder, do consider it. The learning curb can be arduous particularly if you are right brain challanged like me, but at the same time I've never felt like I've been in the flow more than ever recently.
If you like to stratagise, seek out a good builder and hook up with them. You will both have a blast I'm telling you!
If you are a simmer who also likes strategy games, well....do stay tuned because all this effort is for you!!
New Poll - Pancake Day
Alrighty then..I've popped a new poll onto my minisite page..got bored looking at the last one..the results of 'Which is your favourite Expansion Pack?' are:-
World Adventures : 45.83%
Ambitions: 25%
Late Night: 54.17%
Base Game Simmers: 16.67%
So I guess most people are happy with Late Night. Is it the vampires? Or perhaps the clubbing to all hours of the morning? :-D
The new poll is about Pancake Day, or whatever it might be called in your part of the world, I know there are plenty of variations out there. It's going to be 8th March this year!!! What!! Why so late?!! I can't wait that long to eat pancakes!!(Although as my boyfriend keeps telling me, I can eat them whenever I like)(That is NOT the point!!) Anyway, can't wait..they are going to be covered in sugar, lemon juice and golden syrup...utterly dripping and oozing..Oh my, I'm salivating! Hang on while I just wipe the drool off my chin...
I've also uploaded another lot which will be out tomorrow and I've uploaded a new set of paintings which hopefully will be approved..

A set from Bridgeport. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of making them, and will make a set from each of the EA worlds. Hopefully they will be better than my previous efforts since the water graphics are better since Late Night and you can get some pretty good colours and effects.
Hope you like them.
Have a great week to come :-)
Pattern-pattern
yay!! now i can make pattern!!!! and i will provide you with my pattern collection~
there's something i want to confess..
my up coming pattern name Motion wood, the file are not in the right place, ex: my motion wood 1 is place at motion wood 3 submission and etc.
so.. i hope you'll not confuse when you download that :D
Mid February 2011 Update
Find myself with three projects on the go. A house for a request on the forums http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=388796 ; a police station that is being based on Old Scotland Yard; and a lot for the February Valentines contest. The last one has me stumped more than the other two... hmmm, maybe not being in some sort of relationship is causing a artists block. No romance, no inspirations..... hmmm.

Sorry I have been ill
Hi all,
I would just like to say thank you to the members who have left comments over the last few weeks that I have not replied to because I was in hospital.
I have been quite poorly and had to have an emergency operation for a dental abscess that swelled up under my jaw and across my throat threating to cut off my breathing, but I am home again now and hope to get back to creating things real soon.
Take Care Lorraine xx
A REALLY new direction....
No, I am not dead. :)
Real life has been requiring a lot of my attention lately, but things are now settling down and I'll be building some great new lots soon.
The new year brought with it a new address, and I had forgot that designing a real place takes much, MUCH more time and energy than building one for a Sim.
So, for those who are interested, here's a 'behind-the-scene' look at the REAL home of QubeDesign....

The Andretti Legacy
I want to apologize...I have been trying and trying and trying to submit The Andretti Legacy Chapter 112 for a month, if not more, now. Something is wrong with my 'submission' area and I've been waiting on this issue to be fixed. I am so so sorry, but I am continuing to write them...and I have about 5 or 6 chapters just sitting on my computer waiting. Bear with me...I'm sorry!
New Dress
I have a new dress I made from hand and I am happy with it.. I just hope others like it. I know my outfits arent anything amazing, but I am still learning.
Sunset Bay Bungalows

A new set of homes I'm working on,along with the two comunity lots that will go with them. They are kind of retro,and look very cute all together. They look as if they have been in town for a few decades :) I hope you like them.


New Banner
Thought it was about time i changed my profile banner. i've had the same one for ages! I'm quite pleased with it to say i'm no whizz at photo editing programs!
Have a fabulous week everyone!
:D

Victorian Style part II
Here is a preview of the second set. Some nice roof ridges to build a victorian look. Even when you lower the roof the ridges goes down too!!! And offcourse much more to build....

Tomb in the making!
I don't often post things here do I... Oh, well just wanted to mention that I'm currently working on a tomb :D
I have just discovered the buydebug-cheat (yea,yea, I'm a bit after ;P ) and I'm having so much fun testing all the different items and tomb-effects :D So TS3 is currently messing up my schoolwork even more then usual, and since I wanna be really really thorough with this I'm afraid It's gonna keep messing with my homeworks and tests for quite some time ...
So... that's it^^ I'm so thrilled about this that I just had to tell someone xD (that is if anyone cares to read this...)
So... bye now xP hope u are all feeling great and thank u so so much for downloading and commenting my lots :D any comment from u really brights up my day :)
A good week!
Wow Ok, I just checked the downloads on Amelia's Castle and I'm really happy with it! I got side tracked and busy with a few other projects so haven't had a chance to upload anything else yet... Here's what I've been working on!

I've posted the story on The Simmers Scociety here
http://www.simmerssociety.net/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=12&id=106136&Itemid=56
I'm hoping to post the sims and eventually Clara's Art Deco home here!
Deleted All Custom Content
So yesterday I deleted all of my custom content. So now I'm starting all over with my sims. I deleted all of my neighborhoods and I'm beginning completely anew.
Robert Pattinson
As Robert started his career as a model I think it´s a good idea to make my version of his sim! ;)
Soon soon

Creating Swimming Pools
My sister has built a nice little home for her Sims, but it lacks one thing. While it sits on a Beautiful lot (giving her Sims the "Vista" mod) she has yet to create a swimming pool. Because this house is really nice, your average rectangular pool won't cut it. So I'm seraching for the Simmers who know how to create magnificant pools. I would love to get some advice on how to do this.
Just wanted to say...
Happy Valentines Day to all you simmers out there!
Hope you get lots of flowers, chocolate and hugs! xxx
Happy Valentine Day - lingerie-set! :)
My Dear Friends! :)
I'd like to wish you a very Happy Valentine Day with this (mainly) pink lingerie-set - files are available in my studio on the EA-site.












Download Lara Croft
Just a quick note to say that I've uploaded the Lara Croft sim that's featured in my Tomb Raider story. Pictured below. She should be published within the next couple of days.
Hope you enjoy!! :)

If you are getting a 404 Not Found on any of my downloads...
If you are getting a 404 not found on any of my downloads, it is because you are downloading the Sims2Pack file. Most of my downloads are not available as Sims2Packs, only Sims, Walls, Floors, Ground Cover, Lots, and Pets are available as Sims2Pack files. You must download the zip file instead. To place the zip file in your game you will need winrar from rar labs found Here once you have winrar installed, after downloading the zip file right click on the stack of books of my file, and select extract here. Create a new folder (unless you already have one) called Downloads in your My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 then drag and drop the package file extracted from the stack of books zip file to your Downloads folder.
First blog post. :D
Hiii, This is my first blog post on TSR, so i hope you'll enjoy it. :D
Okies, time to get things started. :D I've been wanting to post one of my houses on TSR, but i have no idea how... :{ Sooooooooo, i've decided to thank ALL the people i've downlaoded from:
SimSylvia40, i loved your house My Way 10, i use it with ALL my familys that have a toddler or child, I mean, the playground was an AWESOME touch. :D
sbrizolone, Your Hogwarts items have amde me SWOON! :D i use them on my Dolohov family (including the castle!) and i hope to see much more of your work some day.
Greda, your baby furniture really helped one of my sim familys, they have THREE toddlers!! THREE!! and your furniture really helped, two of them are twins. :DDD they are noow both teens, while the third is an young adult. tee hee.
magicdawn, Oh i don't know where to START! your wooden potty chair AND highchair have made me so happy! :D so keep up the AWESOME work. :3
Mutske, I LOVE your Tilsia Shelf for kids. it has made a big improvement on my homes, and i even use it for my public daycare! (i'm currently working on that, :D ) i hope to see more in the furture, thank you. :3
cm_11778, your Christine Ann baby furniture was used in my sims selfs family, and they greatly enjoy it! :D i hope to see Christine Ann CLOTHING next! :3
mensure, Your probably going to be my msot favourite TSR artist here, Because i have downlaoded almost EVERY Winnie The Pooh item you have made, since Winnie the Pooh has got to be my most favourite show ever since i was four. i dont watch it anymore now, since my mom thinks i'm "too old" for it, but i still have this winnie the pooh blanket,and i kept it ever since i was 8. so that proves that ur probably going to be my favourite TSR artist. :D
since it might not allow me to write any more artists, i want to thank any others i might have forgotten or failed to write down. but i'm sure i'll write a full list next time. :D
~Colette~

The Next Series of Tomb Raider
Hello all,
I just thought you might want to know that I'm currently working on the next series of Tomb Raider which is based upon the 'Legend' game. It might be a while yet though, because I've just started working at a video shop and I'm starting TAFE tomorrow. Anyway just thought I'd say something so you all know I'm still writing :)
Hope you have an awesome weekend!
Adios xox
Danny Schwarz
Hello guys, I´ve been working now with Danny. Last year Danny was one of the most requested model. It´s not difficult to understand why ;) Look at his pretty cute baby face!

New Design :)
Hi,
I just changed my minisite design. I think it was high time to do it. New year- new design (a little bit later). After green and blue, I decided to use black - I wanted something strong. I hope you like it. I want to thank to ES3C for these wonderful heart glasses and juzhitu for the nose piercing and of course, to Newsea for this amazing hair. My Sim wouldn't look like this without them.
I want to thank you for all your wonderful comments. I am not always able to write back so I want to know that I really appreciate each of them.
I added a new poll, too. Check it out! Let's get some kudos and share your opinion!
Wish everyone all the best.
Enjoy my creations!
Happy Simming!
