Time for natural recolours ;)
While working on dedication set for Irene i'm also creating natural recolours,party because my brain needs at least few days of rest from creating clothing :D
sneak-peak on natural recolours set 4: (set 3 is shown at sweetness set :D)
Aw, don't be like that...
Another weekend gone. Lately I've been feeling like I haven't had weekends. I think I have just had my fill of family gatherings and performances. My kid has another concert tomorrow night. And the snow dumping we got Friday night/Saturday isn't helping my mood any either. I don't mind the cold at all. I LOVE wearing snuggly clothes and lighting candles and curling up in blankets. It's the heaps of dirty snow everywhere that bum me out. Freshly fallen, untouched snow is pretty. But that lasts for about 5 seconds. Then you have kids tromping through it, dogs peeing in it, trucks shoving it around along with last year's sodding attempt, and just anything and everything to make it dirty, ugly, and rock hard. And anything you don't get cleared freezes and becomes your next hospital visit.
OK, enough whining about my crummy mood and winter. I didn't get to starting a new lot this weekend. I was too busy. I do have the build bug though so I plan to start one tonight, if I have time. Three loads of laundry and a sink full of dirty dishes are calling my name. Ugh. What little time I did spend with the game was loading families and figuring out what the update fixed and what it broke. Well, the only thing I can find that it fixed was the opportunities finally getting linked to the right spots and not some place in Sunset Valley. (for Bridgeport opportunities that is) The butler still leaves the dang car on the road. One of my families is missing their butler but her car is there. Oi. Another family has the butler right where I left her and the car is still there. Oh, wait, something else is fixed. The puking. I started a new Bridgeport to get a new vampire to play. So far no puking at all. I am relieved. I hope my hood stays puke-free.
So you might be wondering why I need a new vampire when I already have a vampire family going. Just because. My first vampire ended up married and now has 6 kids so I never really got to be a baddie of the night with him. He's perfectly happy to stay home with the kids, skinny dip, and woohoo whenever the wife walks by. LOL But their lot has always been buggy. New stuff pops up every time I play it seems. And now that the update deleted their butler yet left her car and the game still thinks she's there, I can't fire her and hire a new one. I'm stuck in butlerless limbo and have a useless vehicle on my lot. So I think it's time to move them out and into a fresh lot and see if that helps. The oldest is a young adult now and my vamp's wife just had a set of twin girls. Oh lucky me. So they have a total of 6 kids all under one roof and plenty of glitches. And, by the way, out of those 6 kids and a normal/vampire sim breed mix, all the kids are vampires. I'm pretty sure the twins are. They're still babies but they have the odd shading that all the other kids had. For a couple that isn't family-oriented at all they sure wanted a lot of kids. They only got a kid when they both had the want. The house is full now but I know if I moved a few out they'd want even more. Thankfully the kids aren't fugly so it's not a bad thing to populate Bridgeport with young vampires. Bridgeport just really isn't a family neighborhood. There isn't room to expand and most of the lots are small. The apartment buildings are annoying. But, whatever, I made a family anyway. So there. Anyway, I'll move this family to a fresh lot and see if their glitches go. If not, they'll probably meet the trash bin. I'll work on keeping my new vampire (have to get him turned first) single for a bit longer and play the darker side of things. I do love my vampires. They're a lot of fun.
My new Bridgeport is coming along. My to-be vampire has a nice place and is seeking a willing vamp to turn him. He's already had a couple romances though and I've only played him for less than a sim week. The game keeps stealing his women on him. Just when I get the relationship to max and am ready to invite them over for the move in opportunity the game assigns them a partner. Seriously. I had this girl prepped and called her over so I could move her in. She says she'll be over in a bit and then another message pops up immediately saying something suddenly came up and she can't come. I check her profile and now she has Alexy as a partner (I checked before I called and she was still single). WHAT? This was the first sim day I played the guy. I took him out on the first day to buy stuff and meet people. He hit it off with her really well. He took her to dinner and dancing. I asked the questions, she was single and unemployed. The NEXT morning I invited her over and got the stupid message. Was that really necessary? The game needs to stop meddling with my relationships. It does this a lot. What? I just wasn't moving fast enough for it? I should just pop the question after greeting someone? What?! Ridiculous. She didn't even have a chance to meet anyone else. She was with my sim the whole first day. He snagged her when she got out of a taxi in the morning. They talked all day on the sidewalk and then went to dinner and both went home in the red for sleep. They never ever met anyone named Alexy the whole time. In fact, she never talked to another sim the whole time. So unfair! Stupid game!
I haven't really explained my title yet. LOL Another one of this sim's romances is with Sugar Bijou. Usually she's dancing on tables with him. They hit it off outside the diner and then the next morning I called her over. Considered moving her in. He wanted to cuddle in the hot tub with her, skinny dip with her, hug her, what not. So since she's a party animal I figured I try the skinny dip thing for fun. Sims are so cute when they skinny dip. They get so excited. The pixelation must tickle. LOL Anyway, he asked her to go skinny dipping and she was all fine, well, and good with it. Just before she enters the house she turns around and leaves with a message of "someone in this group has some unresolved issues to deal with" and then she goes on to tell him how much she really, really, really likes hanging out with him and would he please, please call her again. What? Issues? You get invited to skinny dip with your main squeeze and get cold feet? My sim got the rude guest negative moodlet from it. I'd say so. How rude! Fine, just leave. I didn't want to move you in anyway. Why don't you go find Alexy while you're dealing with your issues! It was just... weird. I guess I'll just get on with his life and go find that vampire to bite him. Sheesh.
I've had this relationship stealing happen with all my sims. I'm getting quite tired of the game's meddling. It's especially annoying when you know that sim hasn't met anyone else and you've got a max relationship with the little heart and everything. Then it just assigns them some random yahoo? Jerks. I've actually started seeding my hoods with 6 or more singles so my sims have a bigger chance of finding someone before the game steals them. They usually give them someone they never even met before too, which is just BS.
Bah, I'm still grumpy.

Screenshots
I have noticed that there are some very wonderfull screenshots being uploaded lately. I have myself recently used some of my own screenshots to make pictures for TS3 and I thought they looked great made into pictures, so I thought maybe you would like your screenshots of landscapes and various locations in TS3 made into pictures for the game. If you would like one of your screenshots that you have submitted here on TSR turned into a picture for yours and other members games I am now taking requests till the end of the year :-)
Please post the link to your screenie in the comments section below if you would like me to make your screenie into a picture for TS3. The shape and size of the picture will depend on the shape of your screenie ;-) I have a wide screen monitor and in game my dimensions are 1360 x 768 for my screen settings.

If I Could Melt Your Heart [Surprise]
"Frozen"
[Verse:]
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
[Chorus:]
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
[chorus]
[verse]
[chorus, repeat]
If I could melt your heart
Its been a long long time...
I everyone, its been a very long time since i have post some new lot on my page and i am very sorry for that. School just takes all my time and my sims 2 games add big problems with their code so... i past to sims 3 now!Holidays are almost their for me so i hope that i will have time to create a lot of new stuff. So have great holidays and play with your sims a lot!!ciao xox
Hello Everyone!!!
Hello!! I opened my blog first. After that you'll be in touch with you. I learn something new every day.And share with you.I hope you enjoy my design.Have Fun!
Pool mosaic designs
Hi again, I wondered what next to design to make, I thought I'd do some mosaics for the bottom off pools. I love dragons, my son likes manga. I've just uploaded the 2 designs and I say quite chuffed so here goes.
Weather Advisory
Good grief. It's only December 3rd and we've already got a Winter Weathery Advisory here. Yep. We're supposed to get dumped on tomorrow. From midnight tonight til midnight tomorrow. Some 18 hour storm or what not. Oh yea rah. I live in Northern Illinois, North Central Illinois if you really want to be picky. Believe me, we are around here. LOL The weather here absolutely sucks all the time. We go from 110 in the shade to -40 in the sun. And don't forget the ceaseless wind. We all walk sideways here to compensate for the wind. And of course it's worse in winter. Schools get snow days and heat days here. Sometimes it's 20 in the morning and then 80 by lunchtime. How many seasons do you want in one day? OK, enough whining about the weather.
Anyway, the reason I moaned was maybe I'll get snowed in this weekend and be able to work on a lot. LOL IF I keep power. That's a fat IF. I hope to relocate in the next few years. I'm saving up. I was born here so I've been stuck here all my life. I hope to see that change.
So I updated my game and loaded a house to see what all got screwed up. Yep, just as I thought. The butler's car is still there and the butler is deleted. Nice guys. Totally expected it. But I can't cancel the service or hire a new one. The game still thinks she's there even though she went poof. I said screw it and hired a maid to do the cleaning. My family can do the rest. I'm so anal about making my sims responsible my butlers never have much to do anyway, but they sure are nice when there's a baby around and you want to focus on someone else for a change. Just a thought.
My cc still works so no biggie there. I wasn't having half the problems mentioned as fixed so there really wasn't anything to notice as being different.
As you can tell I'm in a rather foul mood today. At least I'm going out with friends tonight and plan to gorge myself with really good food. I can tell I'll hit Dragon Age running again tonight. I can't seem to get my frustration and anger out of my system but I am holding back the urge to build. LOL I've had it for a couple days but I still want to play Dragon Age. I'll stop when I get to one of the sucky parts. And there are many. Some stupid stuff I just don't have the patience to tolerate any more. I've got my save file for Dragon Age II already so I don't care how I play now. It's just a stress release. If I don't want to save the dwarves in Orzammar because it reminds me of Ironforge in World of Warcraft, and is just as ugly, I don't have to. Mwhahahahahahahaha. Dragon Age has way better mages... rogues... and warriors than WoW. WAY better warriors. LOL WoW over complicates everything and it totally kills any ounce of fun one may have had playing. I don't play well with others though. I hate group work. And I'll be damned if I'll trust my life in the hands of some snot-nosed 9 year old brat that thinks they can heal. And then again, I don't HAVE to heal you either. *evil grin* If you're not the tank, my priest pretends you don't exist. At least I'm good at what I do, er, did. I always hated the players that claim to have picked the priest class because "I want to help people". It's not about helping people boy! It's about making complete losers feel like they're way better than they really are and winning, without getting credit for any of it. LOL Right, you be bad man. You didn't lose an ounce of health during that 3 hour dungeon. *cough* thank the priest *cough* Oh don't mind me. I'll take the rear. I can see you better when you die from doing something stupid before I resurrect your sorry butt, again.
Sorry, I'm bitter. The things I do for my kid. Yeah, I played with my kid, and ended up being a foster mother to every teen boy with a headset. I... I... don't want to talk about it.
So, back to sims. I plan to get back to playing again. I might have to start over for some since the patch caused major borkage, but eh, whatever. I like starting over. But I'll go back to dreaming about Cabana Charlie's now... yum...
Hey
Hey everyone. Sorry I havn't put anything up or my sims yet but I will I'm still new here so...I'll figure things out. Thanks -Izzi!
Slim Sim clothes - Fat Sim clothes
I have noticed that most of the new fashion creations use meshes that make the sim ladies (and even the males) just way too slim. I mean, erm... anorexic, almost. And when I try to find less "pretty" clothes, I run into oversized pieces. Is "normal" not in fashion anymore?
December

Sims 3 Legacy Challenges
Has any one heard of these? It's where you start with one Sim and build their family up for 10 generations. It's the stangest thing I have ever seen. I am actually about to start one, but I can't think of any good last names or any thing cute to put my Sim into. But I am so ready to play the game. Any help would be appreciated. ^^
HEY HO
Hey... after a pretty exhausting summertime I have a bit more leasure time and time to play Sims2, Hurray;-) My little sim family grows every day and I am creating stuff for them (they need so much furniture for there little Simhouse, puhhhh), thats the reason why I am posting so much items *lol*

Checking In
Bummer. The DDS plug-in for Photoshop only works for Windows. So... you won't be seeing anything from me that requires that. My copy of Photoshop is on my Mac. No tatoo for you. LOL Ah well. Guess I'll stick to lots and sims and maybe I'll get a decent pattern made with the pattern tool someday.
My weekend wasn't so great so I had to dig out Dragon Age again. But you know what that means. Another lot will be born. That whole connection still baffles me. I can only kill stuff so long. Once I calm down then I can be creative. You really don't want to see what I make when I'm angry. I haven't simmed in days. T'aint safe.
I see there's an update out for sims. I read the much too long list of fixes and noticed puking was in there. It's been adjusted so they vomit at acceptable levels. What? Is vomiting ever acceptable? I'm hoping this means sims won't dribble puke when I'm having conversations with them and my sims won't have to dodge puke puddles every time they go downtown. I DID get one of my sims to do it though. I had him order a Big Mistake drink. He hurled a couple times after drinking it. That doesn't explain why newly generated sims, just walking down the street or standing around are constantly puking. And the list included a fix for butlers autonomously dismissing themselves to follow a celebrity. Huh. I wonder if that's what my butler did. She never did come back. I had to hire another one. I'm glad they tweaked the butler car thing too. That annoys me. I can't wait for that to be gone. What does a butler need a car for anyway? They never leave. Oh wait, to run off to follow celebrities, because they're all really stalkers in a mild mannered butler disguise. Oh that game is shifty.
I see a Mac only fix in there too. Nobody cares about that. It would be nice if EA would fix their code so it stops disabling all their cc, requiring them to reinstall it all every time they want to play. It's been a long time problem. My son has it and he stops playing for long periods of time because of it (he's addicted to custom hair LOL). So EA fixes stuff that isn't an issue and ignores the real issues. I'm sure that makes perfect sense if you're an idiot. Nothing I can do about it except pat my son on his shoulder and hug him when he cries. LOL The life of a Mac gamer. Been there, done that, gave up.
*sigh* As for future endeavors, my monstrous Bridgeport lot has been really well received so I think I will go ahead with my plans to build a lot for that other empty lot on the snobby side of the river and I'd also like to make a nicer cabin to replace the ghetto cabin on the lot by the water. I really like that lot and I don't see why the view is mentioned in the description. The view doesn't suck. Sheesh. Guess it depends what you WANT to look at. Not everyone sees the glass as half empty. There's also that Ayesleigh revamp on the backburner. Anyway, I gots me some plans. Now I just need some time.
Sorry I didn't have better news for y'all. But you know it's coming... eventually. And hey, I'm over 75,000 downloads now. Wowzers. I appreciate all those comments so keep 'em comin'!
Tomb Raider - New Story
So now with the last part of Good vs. Evil published, I've moved onto my new story. Which is based on the Tomb Raider Anniversary video game, which is an awesome game and I highly recommend it!
I've submitted the first chapter of 'Tomb Raider Scion of Atlantis' so it should be up tomorrow, and I absolutely CANNOT wait!!! to see what you all think of it! There has been a LOT of hours put into this story, and I mean A LOT! I spent sooo long trying to get the snapshots just right.
I hope you enjoy it!!
Adios xox
Huge sets coming up!
Because of the delay of giving my pc back to seller and buying new,I'm working on 2 huge sets this december!
Here's sneak-peak on first one(of course,there will be much more outfits,thats what i created in hour or two this night):
Yeps,first one will be a set of various summer outfits!Because i can alpha edit quite alot you'll see various types of outfits in set-things would be easier if i could add more then one external meshes as required-but currently i can only search up them on tsr and some of them are pay here,and you know my 100 % free policy-no pay items being used to create my items :D
So yep,there will be *no,I wont tell you* :P
I'm aware its almost christmas!But this girl had terrible summer and cares about people living in southern hemisphere!:D
About second set..havent started creating it yet but it will be something cozy and christmastastic
Feel free to comment with suggestions about those sets they are always welcome ;)
Accont Change
Hey,
Just warning that I'm going to change my account to one that already exists and that it's mine too; it's name is kat*, you should heard about it.
So, the screens I have posted I said they were the main characters in my next story, but I'm going to post it in kat* account.
This one, if it's possible, I'm going to delete it.
Hugs!
Erm ! Submission Area ! Solved ? ? ? Maybe ? ? ?
Last night i managed to upload 9 items? I was shocked and had to wait until now to check whether my upload was successful and they have been approved. Woohooooo!!!
For some reason, i cannot upload my items via the File Server which is VERY frustrating. So messing about last night, i tried to upload them via Browse My Computer option instead.
The only downside to that is, i have to actually click on Edit Set in the upload screen to add items and images rather than do it straight away from the File Server.
Its taking a bit longer but atleast i have found away round it, as i was not use to submitting via the Browse My Computer option, to be honest i don't like using it as i preferred the File Server option as its alot quicker to me.
I do receive another error when using this other option but i ain't got a choice now. I either use it or not submit anything...!! I just have to refresh the page and it takes me back to the beginning of the Submissions Area. I then just click on uploads and my set is there ready to be edited.
This weekend i will be submitting a ticket to try and resolve this issue if i still cannot upload via the File Server at it will be nearly 2 weeks then since the start of this problem. Lets hope someone helps me :(
My first post here at TSR
Hi ya All,
I finally decided to upload one of my Sim creations here at TSR. I've been a member for about a year or so, but until now I've never posted anything here, for some odd reason. However better late than never, I guess :) I hope ya'll like Darcella ! I'm planning to post more Sims here at TSR, so have a look every now and then.
You can also check out my blog: http://evater-sims3.blogspot.com/

(It's a new mesh created for Sims3. The set will contains different sizes : 4 meters, 6m, 7m, 10m and 13m. I hope you will like this fantastic palm ! In picture : Syagrus romanzoffiana (4m)
Good Vs. Evil Chapter 12
I had planned to have the last chapter published by today but it was unfortunately rejected!! Which I found quite humerous BECAUSE of the reason it was rejected.
I got an email earlier that said it had been rejected due to profanities. Which was strange because I don't remember any swearing in the chapter, mostly because I don't really use it. I just think there's a broader range of words that can better describe a situation. Anyway what happened was when I was writing the chapter in a word document, I was using Dan's name but I couldn't remember his last name or if I'd even mentioned his last name before so I left a few asterix's so that when I proof read it later I would see it and find out what his last name was. Well when I proof read I didn't see it and so it was published as Dan ***, so it seemed like a profanity.
Anyway long story, short, the last chapter will be delayed a day or two. I just submitted it before but it may take a day or two for it to get published.
Hope you are all enjoying your Tuesday! If that is indeed what day it is when you're reading this. Otherwise Happy Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Thursday, Sunday or Saturday!
