My Sims 3 Creations Poll
I would first like to thank those that have participated in my Sims 2 Poll. If I haven't sent a thank you note yet it's because strangely enough I couldn't find you on the site!!
I have laid out my first Sims 3 Creations Poll. If you've got some free time, I would appreciate some feedback.
Thanks in advance
Drib :)
Incentives
I've got 10000 incentives already and more than 1220 downloads! Wouldn't it be a good inspiration? :)
Sneak preview..
While the poll is active this will be my next set... This is just the first mesh. ![]()


Do you recognize it? I guess you should... ![]()

My 1st submission
So I've submitted my 1st creation on TSR. I must say that I'm actually proud of how it turned out. It's a wooded, cabin. 1 bed, 1 bath. It's quant and seems really comfy

Invisible screenshot - very weird
I uploaded a screenshot and according to my preview in my screenshot table everything is alright, the picture shows properly, the message underneath shows fine and the links in there all work. The funny thing is that when I view it in my overview I get a blank 'window' with only a link in saying 'here'.
At first I thought that something went screwy due to the html tags as that is also the first link showing (as that also said 'here'), but when clicking that you go to the popup window, which shows normally. Clicking 'details' gives you the proper page, where everything is normal too. On my minisite however, it doesn't show at all :(
But now the weirdest thing! When I open an extra browser and DON'T log in there, the screenshot shows totally normally on my minisite. So that's a first - non-subscribers can see my screenshot but subscribers can't - I always favoured the underdog :D
If anyone would have a clue at what went wrong - feel free to shout! I sent a support ticket too, but more heads are always better :D
edit after having another look at my 'all screenshots' page - O.O - the weirdness isn't finished yet - when you scroll completely down there's the little bugger naughty one hiding! He just slipped all the way down. Now I wonder if any of you see it too, or am I the only one seeing things today? I just hope no pink elephants will start appearing soon :P

Medieval patterns now being released. More to come all this week.
Hi all,
I have finally started to release the medieval patterns I created some time back now. 2 have been released and 6 more are in pending. I have 7 more, still sitting in submissions, ready to go :) I am sorry I have gone a little crazy with this theme, but it is one of my faves.
I still have all the projects ongoing too, as mentioned in my previous blog post.
I am just starting another theme, Islamic/Arabian/Moroccan patterns. This was a request from a friend as she could not find anything for this theme for Sims 3.
Don't forget to add me on Facebook, I seem to be spending a lot of time, yakking on there at the moment :) I just love to chat.
I have a Sims 3 updates group too, which is updated daily with all the great custom content out there.
Busy, busy, busy, as always!
Bye for now

Last Mirabello Road creation
The last creation in Mirabello Road is/will be available for download on 27/5. This is the last Natural Style look creation in this set of 5.
I'd also like to thank all those who have already downloaded my creations. Your response has encouraged me greatly to create more lots though due to direct family illness, I unfortunately need to slow it down a little for the time being. I will do my best to keep sending in new lots but I will not manage to finish them in one session until the situation improves.
Thanks again for your continual support
First Submission: Modern Family Home
Hey guys, I got my first submission published. It's a great house! It's decorated and furnished inside and out, with marvelous, lush landscaping. It even has pool, just in time for summer.
I can't wait for you to see it (and download it, and recommend it, and thank for it (LOL!) ! This house is PERFECT!
I'm taking suggestions for new creations, so if you have any requests, leave a comment.


Rooflight feedback is making me speechless :-)
I'm absolutely speechless about this huge feedback I get on my rooflights. Thank you so much!
I know my explanation is a little bit/totally* confusing. I'll see whether I can add more pics (or maybe a video-tutorial) in the next days. Hope it is okay for you. ;-)
*delete as appropriate :D
Ceiling Beams
Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of general activity lately; I've just started college and it's been keeping my incredibly busy! Anyways, that's not why I'm here. I'm working on a new project, Ceiling Beams, and have run into a slight problem. As of now, for maximum versatility, each beam comes in 1x1 segments. When placed next to each other, they connect and textures run along the length of the beam seamlessly. However, each segment of beam reacts to lighting different. One segment, while close to a light, will be fairly bright. The next will be darker, the next yet even dark, etc. Well, it SOUNDS like it's normal, but unfortunately, it's horrible in the game. Each beam is shades apart, they don't subtly blend together.
Where there isn't light, one segment will look almost black. The next one will be a lightish brown, and then next to a light, it will be very bright brown. Rather than scrap the project, I figured I'd ask the downloaders what they would prefer:
Option 1: Keep them as is! As long as they are there, the shading difference isn't that big of a deal. This will give a lot of flexibility in terms of how big you can make your rooms and where they will fit.
Option 2: I can make them into preset sizes (1x3, 1x5, 1x7 etc). While these would render better, there would be less flexibility in terms of room size and how they will fit into your lots.
I'm not going to make this into a "real" poll, but rather, you can feel free to leave your opinions or ideas on what I should in a comment here.
New door set in the works
After finishing the Scania Set I felt like doing something contemporary. A build set was not planned but life moves in mysterious ways so what am I doing? A new doors set, lol. I felt like having more variety for modern homes, I found inspiration on the internet and then I was hooked.
It's fun and frustrating at the same time. It's fun playing with different designs but I have come up with so many ideas that it's frustrating having to choose which designs to keep and which ones to leave out just to keep the set manageable. Here are a few samples of some less convential modern doors. These doors have been rendered in 3ds max so I can get a feel for how they would look in the game if I decide to use them.

Oh my gosh, I just realised! PUNK! for guys hair mesh
Hey everyone!
Eeeeeep!! I only just realised something...my PUNK! for guys is a donation mesh!
I'm so sorry to everyone, I didn't know. I know that sounds odd and you're probably thinking 'Is she dumb or something?' but when I got the mesh it was from a friend of mine who had got it from Raonsims. She used my USB to put the mesh and recolours onto it and gave me the link for the mesh when I said I wanted to recolour it. I never clicked on the link to check, and for that I AM SO SORRY! :( I should have checked...I'm the worst.
In the future I will check before I recolour.
With deepest apologises,
-Warrayfinson
not another chic fic! D:

Meshing - Part Two - First Chair attempt - Learning UV Mapping
First, The chair came out real nice, second, the UV map was.. interesting to say the least. Show the chair Julie! Um nope.
So learning to mesh from scratch is turning out to be fun. My stance is better to learn how to build from the ground up, then just altering a ready made mesh for now. If I don't know how to fix my own mistakes, it will be highly probable that I will miss important items in a ready made model.
Meshing has also made me vulnerable to what can be a really bad habit. If you use Photoshop or Paintshop Pro you may identify with the plugin, filter, brush, tubes and texture fetish where you just cannot seem to get enough for your collection.
Well.. I am finding myself starting to do the same for import/export scripts, Textures, Tools, and scale objects. I wasted my lunch googleing my way through the internet for tools and scripts. <grins sheepishly>
Back to my chair this afternoon. It wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be, and the built in uv mapper in blender wasn't as scary/difficult a time as I had trying to figure out one of the recommended stand alone products.
The more I mess around with this, the more ideas that start flowing through my head. Stay tuned, you never know what this mad scientist might come up with.
<waves Goodbye>
Snag-your-pants!
People lay down these fences to spoil your fun. There is actually no other reason. You want to picnic in that pretty (privately owned - minor detail) meadow? Well, you gotta snag-your-pants to get in it. You wanna trespass somewhere just because some boring old sign says KEEP OUT? Yep, gotta snag-your-pants to go there. But don't let that stop you. Snag-your-pants and be glad.
I'm feeling quite cruel to Sims just lately and so I want them to snag THEIR pants too. I've made five fences (four are shown below - a fifth made this page look stupid so you can do without the fifth) and some matching gates - all in the glorious name of ruining Sims' lives.
So, have you snagged your pants lately? Why not write in and tell us so we can all point and laugh at you?

My news;)
Hello everybody! I've finally installed Sims 3, and started to create again. I also started to change my preview images for items from new to old-it will have simple design that will show my creation in a good and simple way.
About other things-this week I will create cocktail dresses, because I found amazing textures, which will look great in-game. So, that's all! See you soon, my lovely;)
700 +
This is Super !! - 1 Mirabello Road has hit over 700 downloads. I'm amazed at the response to my earlier post ... 600? Thanks so much :)
