Sorry
Hi everyone
I'm off work next week (finally) and i am hoping to create more walls and floors to share with you and spend more time on TSR.
Just been pre-occupied with family stuff at the moment.
Thank you for your patience.
New set coming!
This will be my (maybe) next set! It´s an old inspired office with some touch of modernity! Here the first mesh...
Why there are 200.000 reasons to say thank you!
OMG! I´ve reached 200.000 downloads today!! 
Thank you everyone who had downloaded, thanked and commented my creations! I truly appreciate it! 
Starter lots - Riverside and Kiwi
Riverside and Kiwi are both starters, but they are different in and outside.
Riverside is a pretty cottage-style lot, fully furnished, but with the cheapest items. If you are looking for this kind of challenge, this lot is perfect for you to play: everything is included, no store, no custom content, you will get everything like on the picture. But when I played with this lot, I found a little bit hard to enjoy everything in my sim's life, because she was always tired, hungry, missed fun and some comfortable objects - like a good shower. But I saved some money for decorating the garden.
So, I tried to create an easy-to-play lot, a non-usual starter with high level objects, where my sim can get a little more free time. I used highest level stove, and nearly the highest fridge and shower, mid-level double bed, and dishwasher. TV, counters, loveseat, mirror, and other items aren't the cheapest, and added some decoration - flowers and curtains, too. I tried to save money where I can - for example I recoloured the cheapest wallpaper (swimming pool's tiles - costs only 3), and floor (costs 4) and recoloured with patterns. Of course I had not too much money for the garden, so I used "free" items to make something with it: terrain paints, a lake and some cheap flowers was the all I can do. But I think, if you want to play with a starter, that's not the most important thing. When I finished, I moved my sim in it, and she felt much better! That's what I wanted to see.
*Known issue: bookcase is not working with the wallplants above, so please move it to another place. In my game I use a desk under this, and it works well although there're nott too much free place between the wallplant and the laptop.
UPCOMING - TODDLER OUTFIT - REBEL GIRL
I thought it will be nice to have some new outfits for the little ones so I created this one yesterday. There are four recolorable outfits in the upcoming pack - 2x printed upper shirt , 1x without print and 1x without print and second shirt. I created Converse - All Star for toddlers, too. I will probably upload them in few days, as soon as I finish the preview. :)
Problems with my files
I have had quite a few people telling me that some of the files I had posted showed distorted arms.
I just want to let everyone know that I figured out what the problem was, and will replace the files in time soon.
If anyone wants a particular item fixed really soon let me know.
I actually would be thankful if people would let me know which files are not ok, as they have always showed up right on my
computers.

hello,replica handbags
To say Bayh lacks Nelson's steady hand on the wheel is a bit of an understatement. The two really interesting data points, however, are the 109th Congress, which stretched from 2005 to replica handbags 2007, and the 110th Congress, which ended in January of this year. In the 109th Congress, Bayh's replica handbags voting pattern suddenly develops replica handbags an uncharacteristic liberalism. He becomes the 19th most conservative member, with a record more liberal than, replica handbags among others, Joe Biden. As context, these were also the years when Bayh was preparing for the presidential run that he eventually aborted.
In the 110th Congress, however, that flash of liberalism gives way to a career-high conservatism: He actually displaces Nelson as the Caucus's most conservative member. He's running for reelection in Indiana this replica handbags year, but this is also the year that Indiana's tectonic plates shift and the state chooses that replica handbags Obama guy. So I'm not replica handbags going to pretend that I fully understand the motivations behind the sharp swings in Bayh's voting record.Bbut replica handbags they're undeniably present, and seem to be keyed to political campaigns. Bayh is much steadier replica handbags during the 107th and 108th Congresses, when no elections loom.
One day. . . .
I told myself that one day I'll be creating things that hundreds of thousands of simmers, like me, will want to download. However I feel that this is a feat that may not happen. It's actually hard. I tried. And while I'm far from giving up, I am going to read all that I can about creating custom content.
Hair..again
I'm looking for sims 3 hair. If anyone know's of any good sites that'd be great thank you!
thought as much!
Well........Just a line to apologise profusely for inflicting you all with the hideous pictures that I made...let me explain how they came to be. It all started when I was standing on my toilet to fix the chain when suddenly I slipped hitting my head on the way down..it was then that I had the vision of a 'flux capacitor' ...hang on, sorry, that was the film I was watching last night, something about going back to the future or something. Come to think of it, that would'nt be such a bad idea at the moment, I could go back in time and kill my art teacher before he has the chance to pass on his 'talents' to me. Thing is though, if I did do that it would mean ruining thousands of photographs as the art teachers children in them would start fading and disappearing at an alarming rate ...or would they? Lets not go there or we will never have time for our Sims!
I have been making some Pictures today actually, I have made a set of four pictures by the Artist John William Waterhouse so you may want to keep your eyes open for those, they really are very nice. The next thing I am going to make is a nice cup of tea..so toodlepip my lovlies and in the words of the prisoner...I'll be seein ya! x
Birkins by Bunny
Continuing my third wedding anniversary leather theme, I have created a set of gorgeous Birkin bags. I've been fascinated by Birkin bags ever since watching Samantha's struggle to get her hands on one in Sex & The City and was delighted to be given a bag in this style as an anniversary gift by my husband (not a real Birkin!). I've fallen in love with these bags - they're just so stylish and come in so many different colours and textures. I've created eight bags and have attempted to represent a cross section of the huge variety available. A real life Birkin may be unaffordable, but happily this is not so for your Sims!
Thank you to NataliS for her wonderful mesh which you can download here at TSR - and don't forget to check out her own re-colours of the mesh which are beautiful.
You will find the bags located in the glasses section in the game.
IM BACK!
After taking a absense from TSR i am back
and can i say thanks for 90000 downloads on my items!!! You guys are awesom!
New clothes comming soon, billabong shirt and trunks, keep checking my minisite for more!
Thanks Blake :D
Vacation homes
I've always been the kind of Simmer who wanted to live like my Sims. I mean, they are apart of my life. So when looking for a great vacation home, it has to be the best.
My family, the McGhee's, are fairly rich. The father, James, is a few visa points away from being able to have citizenship in China. (took a long time. Many burns, passing out from lack of sleep, etc.) So now I'm on the lookout to find a great themed home for his family to spend the time in. I can't wait!
LOL - My sim is not likeable
The sim that I am playing at the moment Gary Blieke is a big tech nerd (and came with the game) not really sociable and all that - so I took him on vacation to Three Lakes in Bon Voyage, he only made one new friend and the rest of them didn't want to talk to him. Quite funny. At one point I let him do his own networking but he just kept cracking onto the men and ladies. LOL Oh dear.
My biggest problem with that Sim is he is pretty lazy and he has a small and re-furbished bachelar apartment, so keeping that clean is important - so having to re-direct him to do the task gets a big groany and monay response - I could always just hire a maid for him -but she'll probably may not like him either!!
Have a nice day!

I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO SAY HOW STUPID I AM! I BROKE MY LAPTOP BY STRANDING ON IT, AND I CANT COMPLETE THE SECOND CHAPTER OF 'Not that bad' GRRRR, WELL I SWARE WHEN ITS FIXED I WILL GET IT OUT AS SOON AS POSSABLE!
I got my banner!
I watched eagerly as the Kudos meter in the corner finally clicked onto the 3000 points mark...Yipeee..I can have my banner! The very same banner that has been sitting in a dusty old folder on my desktop for many an eon..well ok, for two days. I couldn't wait to go find it and proudly post it on my minisite. I would love to say that it was the proudest moment in my life and thank my parents and partner who have given me so much support during my time as a bannerless member of TSR...but that would be silly, so I wont.
Also I have dared to create some original paintings in my painter classic and psp programs, I have posted them but half expect to be pelted with rotten eggs for my efforts..time will tell, I may be surprised.then again...I will most probabaly wont!
I was really impressed by the amount of members here at TSR who have a real liking for the likes of William Turner. I have recently made some Turner paintings..(let me quickly point out that when I say 'made some Turner paintings' I did'nt mean I have been in the basement with some moody canvas and oil paints burning the midnight oil heading up an international arts forgey racket..) I mean that I have posted some facsimiles of some Turner paintings on here for you lot and your sims to enjoy! The response was so good that I have made and posted another five for your delight. You will be able to download them in a Cpl of days or so.
Right, thats me done for now, I am going to visit my granny because she has had all her teeth out and a gas cooker put in today..poor dear!
see you soon my lovelies! TTFN
ps..was a lie about my granny, she died in 1976

General Rules
I know all these rules, yet I havent actually read them, they are common sense really! But I wont lie, people actually are doing the wrong thing. Like XMsims or Peggy any one read the site rules? Your not allowed to recolour or upload to any other site. This includes TSR and the Officially sims 2 site. YET I see them everywhere here and there. Did you know everytime you download a XMsims hair colour (that another person had uploaded) and rush to there site (XM) and download a mesh you are actually downloading an illegal recolour?? Everyone is doing it, so everyone else feels its ok!
Hint: XMsims, usually has every recolour under the sun, better off going there. The downloaders are getting credit for something that isnt really theres??
These are the general rules that must be followed when it comes to using TSR, its content and our services.
- You may not ask for free items in comments or PM's, doing so will result in your account being suspended.
- You may only submit creations made by you, no submissions made by others and submitted by you will be accepted.
- You may not post recolors of other paysites meshes, unless they are freely available and you have the permission to do so from the original artist.
- You may not recolor creations downloaded from TSR, unless you get express permission from the original artist.
- Meshes made by Featured Artists may not be uploaded elsewhere and, if you upload recolors of them to other sites, you must include a link for people to come to TSR to download the mesh.
- You may not upload any creations you download from here on any other site, including the official exchange.
- You may not link directly to our files, you must link to the page(s) that contain the file and download link.
- We do not allow content that is not suitable for a PG13 audience, all such submissions will be rejected.
One I didnt know "You cant ask for free items" Well, I've seen that alot in Featured Artists Guestbooks. I think that it should change to show "Meshes made by "Featured" ANY Artists may not be uploaded elsewhere and, if you upload recolors of them to other sites, you must ASK FOR PERMISSION and include a link for people to come to TSR to download the mesh"
So you should always read the Rules of the site before downloading, as you never know, you may have a mesh sitting in your folders 6months later, recolour it and upload (you may not remember the Creator, but the creator knows there Mesh) Some people let you have free meshes just as long as you email a link because in some cases they like to see what you have done with it!!
Dawes Legacy Story
Just to let people know, I am posting my Dawes family legacy story on Facebook now...I might post it on TSR at a later date.
Take a look and add me as a friend if you want :D

The Sims 2!
For now, I'd like to focus my attention on creating for The Sims 2. Sims 3, I like some aspects of it, but for the most part, Sims 2 is much more prettier, and cleaner as far as graphics. My Sims 2 runs like a dream on this old machine, and I genuinely have more fun playing The Sims 2 than The Sims 3. So please don't be upset, I do plan on returning to The Sims 3 some day, but for now, I'm having way too much fun with 2 to stop.
While waiting for my game to load...
I guess I should write an update for my legacy.
All five of the children are alive and healthy (surprisingly enough), and they recently aged up to young adults. I'm glad I don't have to "babysit" as much anymore.
I now have a journalist, cop, chessmaster, criminal, and artist.
Grrr....Game Crashes
I seem to be having some problems with game crashes lately. It seems to only happen in the Create-A-Sim Screen - and only when I go into the hair portion. I have removed a few items of makeup and some of the larger poly hairs, as well as increasing the virtual memory allocation size on my computer - so we will see if that fixes it. Of course, it could be a mod, such as the facial sliders or something. I will be testing that soon. Taking this methodically. It doesn't seem to effect gameplay at all, so far as I have seen. Of course, I haven't played a lot in my new neighborhood to give that as full of a test as I need to. I did also turn down some of my graphics options previously, so as not to put as much of a load on my computer. We will see.
Veronika Storm and the Great Agent Heist
Finally, she's back! Veronika and Simon are off on another whirlwind adventure, this time trying to find out the connection between a series of art heists across Western Europe and the disappearance of several agents.
Masquerading as Tempest and Sebastien Sierra, our two favourite agents are turning the little town of Champs Les Sims upside down trying to find a clue - perhaps they will find more than they bargained for?
Chapter One is available now at http://veronikastorm.blogspot.com/2010/05/great-agent-heist-chapter-1.html.
Enjoy!

Sims 2 back on... woo!
Have re-installed Sims 2 with all the expansion packs I have right up until Pets. :) Played my family the Jamieson family for the first time last night under Windows 7. I will share some screenshots soon. But I am going to play the family first - and not start another family -as the main problem with me when it comes to Sims 2 is I start with so many families and I just don't give enough time to spend time with them. So for an hour tonight, I will play a bit more and let the rest do the rest. :)
Looking For Hair?
A TON of people have asked me where I download my hair. I decided to just mention it in a blog so they can find out for themselves. I download a lot of hair from Peggy, Newsea, Raonjena, Coolsims, and Janita. I hope everyone finds what they're looking for. These creators are some of my favorite and definitely some of the most talented.

May 17 Release - UM Emilio Pucci Inspired Swimwear
Summer at the door so I decided to make some swimwear for ladies. :) One recolorable part and three multicolor bikinis.
My interview with SF Fashionista magazine
I want to share with you all an incredible magazine that depicts Sims in beautiful fashions that look every bit as professional as Vogue magazine. This magazine not only showcases fashions but home interiors and lots created by people like you and me. I was pm'd by Okadoka a staff writer for the magazine and asked permission to use my Island Get Away lot for their upcoming swimsuit issue and also be interviewed. I was thrilled, honored and humbled that they picked my beach lot out of the many beach lots out there.
If you haven't experienced this amazing magazine for sims, you don't know what you're missing. You can go to this link where you will find my lot and interview. http://issuu.com/sf_magazine/docs/sf_magazine_issue_2 and make sure to go to page 36 where the interview starts. I know you will enjoy this magazine for sims.
La Push First Beach
It seems like there really is a problem with that lot. I don't know why, I tried and tested many times. But many people want to download it (I wonder why? :P), so I decided to redo the whole thing. After reading all the books it became obvious that I misinterpreted the location anyway. E.g. the garage has to be separate from the main building. So I will work now on it and make a new, perfect Jacob House! :DDD (Altough I still imagine it quite differently from the one in the movie.)
Until that, here's a Jacob photo for the Jacob fans, LOL.
My eyes... they burn...
So still doing an extra careful clean-up on the VtN band t-shirt... and by extra careful I mean my erase brush is set to two pixels and I'm zoomed in to 500.
I'm seeing red spots... thing is... I KNOW some of them are parts I need to clean up... but from staring at it I'm seeing red spots in the areas I've cleaned up like crazy.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Oh, and I have vision problems... so my nose is touching my 25 inch monitor while I'm doing this.
I'm speckle.
Who needs sleep... I don't! = D
Where'd she go?!
I have not falled off the face of the Earth.
Life has been nothing but one drama after another.
I was in a car accident a few weeks back, and I am still dealing with all the events following that. One of my dogs has some internal bleeding in his lungs, and hopefully he will pull through 100%.
On top of that, my sister is getting married in two weeks and we're planning a big trip (obviously!) to drive to Colorado. It is taking a lot of spare time, actually...almost all of my spare time.
I am sorry for the lack of output and updates. And, as usual...bear with me. It'll be back to normal soon...
I hope...
