New Sim
I updated a new sim today. I plan on making new idems and other things soon. I will update you on what new is coming your way. When it happens.
This new sim name is Acel St. Pericie. He from France. Thouse he loves China alot. He will also love to travel the world.
What's Up?
I've been busy of late completing half finished projects & I still have at least 6 underway. My longest project.. "Ye Olde Stoneyville Shoppes" is finally complete as is the map for "Twilight". The "Cormorant" was another long term project that I finally found the inspiration to finish.
Also in the works, there's a couple of Apartment Complexes, a High School & a Cathedral - but whether they all get published remains to be seen. I won't submit anything I wouldn't be willing to download, hence the reason they're still unpublished after 6 months of "tweaking". There are still plenty of houses in the works - as I always seem to come across beautiful homes I want to create in the game - & I also want to start making maps again as Twilight has whet my appetite for it.
I even have a noticeboard that hangs above my computer now & it's covered in pictures to keep me focused & motivated. I have lists of house names, pictures & even actual house plans to give me the motivation... not to mention a few ideas for holidays I'd like to take! So if anyone has anything they'd still like to see in Stoneyville or another request, please let me know. You never know... you may even get what you ask for as RelenaYuy0zero1 discovered with Twilight!
New Wallart
Sunday is swas boring....anno 1404 crashed all the time.So i started to mesh and texture new wallart.This time it will be.....hmm no...that#s a surprise.
The Simple Things
Simple things that brighten your day when you are feeling down. I'm talking about my story being featured. Sunday afternoon I took our dog to the vet as he hasn't been well for the past week. He was throwing up and not really eating much, very lethargic and wasn't his usual happy self. He enjoyed simple things like lots of pats and fetching his ball. He loved human food snacks but was never piggy when it came to eating. His name was Tezza. 15 or 16 years old he was, well I had no idea and he certainly didn't look it. My boyfriend saved him from the Blue Cross many years ago to become a brother (or mate) to his other younger dog Shorty, a German Short-Hair Pointer.
I wasn't that close to Tezza as he could be quite snappy, we think because of his previous owners before the Blue Cross. But Glen, my boyfriend, had a special bond with him. We both silently knew that this was it for little Tezza. Glen said goodbye to him at home and I said goodbye to him at the vets, it was all very sad.
I guess I just wanted to say thanks to TSR for featuring my story as it couldn't have come at a better time, it really did brightened my day and thankyou everyone who has commented on this part. Your words have also brightened my day.
RIP to little Tezza, your craziness will be missed.
Stories page
Is there some maintenance being done on the stories page today? I ask this because I am unable to read some of the stories on there today. I can get into the story fine but when I click on the arrow to see the next picture/text it doesn't do anything. Also if I click directly on the next picture it goes to a new page with just the picture. Is this making sense? Maybe I will wait until later to read them.
Oh the old Raleighwood, where all of NC comes to throw up....
Back in Raleigh for more of that excitement known as college. I've got some odd news, I'm going to have puppies! :D Well not me but one of our Beagles. I almost wish it wasn't so.
Enough of that. This one is going to be short but apparently something happened here over spring break. When I arrived there was a cop car parked in front of the apartment building next to mine, and then a crime investigator joined him. It's a bit freaky if you ask me, but no one did now did they.
See I told you. Short and top the rounded point. Now I have a request. If anyone could possibly please for me create some clothing and hairstyles that are from the comic series Tank Girl I'd be ever so wonderfully happy.
On that pleading note I must retire and put my crap away. Thank you for wasting all of 5 minutes with me.
Another farm has been built...
For a contest on another site I have built a very elaborate farm - farms in Belgium are always rather elaborate anyway :D - and I thought of uploading it for you all to play, but I had to reconsider... I checked the actual file and ohlala, it's a whopping 108 Mb! Compare that with the other farm I posted - that's barely 4Mb. I don't think anyone would be interested in such a heavy package anyway... I'll just post a few pics then, to let you all have a quick look. I made heavy use of CC of all my favourite creators. Especially Rebecah's farm animals were a godsend :D The farm is again a testimony of how wealthy farmers are/were here in Belgium ;)
I demolished 3 lots in Riverview ( 2 of 60x60 and one of 20x30) and built the farm, a paddock with cows and a camping ground with fishing pond on it. It was a labour of love (laced with lots of swear words :D) and after placing Sims on it I noticed it's almost unplayable as there's such a massive orchard that even a family can't manage all the tending - sheesh! But it does look good :D
so I HAD promz & disappeared...
First of all I'd like to say I'm sorry to everyone for leaving for 4 months without a word. It's just that I'm hella busy and I seem to have lost my interest in making sim stories since my laptop gave up and died. It was resurrected though, but all of my game data disappeared without a trace - vamoosh! kaput! nada! none @_@ I almost broke down "OH MY PRECIOUS SIMMIES!!!" This is the absolute worse crash I've ever had TT^TT
On the lighter side of life, I focused more on my art and cosplay and gained quite a reputation. I've been invited to a few group photo shoots but declined them all since I'm more on focused in graduating. After that, I can do whatever the hell I want! :3
Also, the prom went quite well. I also failed to show you guys the dress before I had it made but eh, you can view it in my blog gallery I'm the one on the right :3 my shoes were handmade and my purse was a hand me down lol
anyways, hope someone reads this just to know that I'm alive
I miss you all~! *hugs*
Quick Disclaimer
Hi everyone!
Just a quick note to you all about support. There seems to be some people who are taking .sims3packs and converting back to .packages - I, personally, do not really care what format you want to install your CC in. I understand that some people prefer .package for the ease of drag-and-drop installation and such, but please note that .package is NOT a generally supported format for TS3. Converting .sims3pack to .package may break/corrupt the file! If you convert files, or you've downloaded them from somewhere else as .package, please don't tell me they are broken or ask me to fix them - because I can't. If you download and install them as .sims3pack, then the content should install into your game and work just fine.
Sims3pack files integrate themselves into the game, versus .package files which are basically plug-n-play. Using .sims3pack provides a smooth transition when updating, installing patches, SP/EPs, etc, and is your safest bet to ensure that the content continues to work after the game updates are done, versus .package files which should be removed when updating the game and then put back afterwords - with no guarantee that they will continue to work. Obviously, it's up to you which method you choose, but please keep in mind I will not help with broken CC for TS3 that was converted to .package - we were given the .sims3pack format for a reason!
Strelitzia nicola� Set published
I am very happy to present you today Strelitzia nicolaï (White Bird of Paradise), one of my favourite plants. His very particular fan-shaped gives him an artificial aspect, but, contrary, it's very complicated to realize the mesh. I reconstructed and worked a lot the mesh to bring realistic details, and give different looks to the various sizes.
In the real life, it's a fantastic plant which I appreciate to look in my garden, and I hope that you will appreciate him so much in the game !
Enjoy !
Hmmmmm....Why is this?
I've just been looking at my paintings that are up for download and I've noticed that they can be viewed in sets and objects but not in the 'Paintings and Posters' sub category :-o...why is this? Have I missed something out somewhere when uploading to TSR? I'm stumped (YET AGAIN!)....
More and More Pictures ;-)
My China set of screenshot pictures has just been published today.....
you might recognise some of them from my screenshot gallery, there will be some new ones that haven't been seen, but I've tried to pick the ones that have had the most comments :-) but I've probably renamed them as paintings...I've also submitted my third set, France, today..so if the file is ok, they should be up for download on Tuesday..
So I hope everyone likes these as much as they seem to have liked my Eygpt set :-) .....And a huge thank you to everyone who has downloaded them :-) I wasn't sure if anyone would like them enough to download them, but I guess you did :-)...I only wish I could somehow add screenshots that you could download to use as desktop wallpaper if you wanted
because they make lovely backgrounds ....(anyway, not to everyone's taste ;-) ) I've tried copy and pasting the gallery screenshots and screenshots off of the downloads themselves and the graphic quality is pretty pooh :-( ...so I've kind of given up on that idea ;-) ...
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and may the coming week be filled with happy simming :-D
Thank you everybody!
For my first post on my blog, I wanted to thank all the persons who download and appreciate my creations, those who write comments on my creations or my guestbook.
I don’t answer every time due to the lack of time, but I read and estimate each of your lovely words. Also I try to take into account the requests and the precious advice which you give me.
I hope that you like playing with my creations and that they transform the landscape of your game as they transform mine.
A big thank you for all this.
Alex
ATTENTION
Please don't download these items: - Wisteria Lane Houses: 3 McCluskey -Wisteria Lane Houses: 2 Scavo because i will re-upload with some changes. thank's
My sims
Hey! I noticed that one of my sims were subscriber only!!!! Only a few sims are subscriber only!!!! I'm so happy!!!
The Last Sheet!
I haven't forgotten about the washroom set - far from it. A new 'who left the seat up?' toilet joins the other three questionable thrones and now I'm finishing off with a few decorative touches...
The so-called piece of art on the left is aptly named "The Last Sheet". It joins it's stable-mate called "Too Bad!" on the right.
There are also three 'puddles' that can make your bathrooms look totallywrecked. Sims can walk through them and they can be placed indoors or outdoors. They can only be cleaned up (ie deleted) by you though - otherwise your poor Sims have to put up and shut up!
One of the bigger delays in this set (tutorial-writing aside) has been me not being satisfied.
My first goal for this set was the typical toilets (washrooms to those of you over the pond) that you might find in those run-down parks and such. The sort of thing that would be found in the lower picture is still an unfortunate 'feature' of 'beautiful Britain' - especially in tourist places like coastal resorts.
But I don't like suffocating the versatility of Sims 3 either. What if you want to write a story that happens to need clean washrooms in it at some point? So I've been cleaning up my act a bit! I've revisited all the meshes to ensure that, without compromising on grunge or sizes of the files, the object can still offer a convincing clean-and-new version too. The top piccie shows the same items from below spruced up and new-looking (ignore those ugly shadows under the sinks - they're gone now).
I now need to make a nice closet door (I only have that ugly old fashioned version in the set right now) and then I think I'm done! Not bad going either! I only started this set last October...
Small preview: Babycrib
Here's a small preview of what I'm working on:
The picture shows a render in workshop. It's a small babycrib, and it will take up 1 tile only. So it's also ideal for your families with twins and triplets in small houses. ;)
Hope you all like it!
Sims3 Patterns
Ok here is it my frst pattern that I will be uploading soon or maybe not lol , depending on what you peeps think of it!!! Please let me know!!!
50000 downloads..
Woow, I´ve got 50000 downloads on my things.. That´s alot for me.. But the wierd thing is that I got 40000 downloads on ONE MONTH!! :D Thank you so much!
Time flies when you're asleep.
I'm a bit behind schedule as far as getting on here and updating is concerned. I have two days to talk about, well actually 3 now that I think about it.
Tuesday: I had to get up early to hitch a ride with my mom to appease my boyfriend. I got up at 7:00 to take a shower and then realized that Mac's (my rat) cage needed to be cleaned before I went anywhere. Not something anyone should wake up to. Of course we left later than we were supposed to, not all my fault mind you. I had forgotten how much my mother reminds me of a chicken running around without its head in the morning. Fliting from place to place without ever getting anything done. I managed to stay awake during the car ride there, it was only 20 minutes but still a big feat for me, and then proceeded to run up the stairs to where I knew there was a bed. (Sorry got side tracked. Jonas Brothers came on and I couldn't get to the radio fast enough to change the station.) I slept till 2:30 and was amazingly refreshed and happy. And the rest of the day was nice to say the least. No phone calls, got to play Fable II, rubbed a fat black lab, ate stewed beef and mashed potatoes for the second night in a row, and talked my boyfriend out of going outside to kick a soccer ball around. All in all a normal day for a visit to the Sharpe/Barker house.
Wednesday: This day was a day I had been looking forward to for a while. It started out normal with the whole wake up and shower sequence. I made a cake for Craig and Michael that I didn't get to put iciing on. *rolls eyes* The Sharpes and their need to celebrate St. Patty's day. We, being myself and Michael, went to see the 4:30 showing f Alice In Wonderland. Absolutely loved it! It screams all over of Tim Burton which makes me giddy as all get out, and Helena used the same speech impediment that she used for Morgan le Fay in the movie Merlin. It just added a whole other level to the continuance of a classic childrens story. Johnny Depp of course did a fine job as the Hatter and there were a few voices I could pick out that I didn't expect to be there, but who wouldn't want to work with Tim Burton. After the movie that left me with tingles we went to eat at Outback, and I got one of their new dishes. It was nice and tasted fine (of course I love spicy food), but the noodles kinda clumped together and that put a thorn in my side. After the bill was paid we headed over to the bar where Mike's parents were and I happened to get the worst made long island ice tea I've ever had. That put me in a sour mood when I got home since we left directly from the bar, and please never do this cause it was a knuckle clinching ride.
Thursday: Nothing much happened...I'm kidding. I was awoken by everyone in the house at various hours to the point that I grew tired of dozing off to the almost asleep stage and then getting a rude awakening. My mom, brother, and I ran errands after everyone was up and ready. I think we drove around the whole of town. We dumped the trash, stopped at the library to drop off books, stopped at MCC and I got left there for a while, mom and Grey went to get his license renewed, and then they picked me up on the corner like a call girl. After that we went to Ruby Tuesdays to eat, went to the Home Depot to grab some fruit tree spray, and then to Food Lion to get a few groceries. See what I mean run, run, run. The best part was that at MCC there was a group of kids, I say kids cause they had to be younger than me, that were shouting things at people driving by about the poverty level and habitat for humanity. They almost caused a wreck and I was sitting there all nice and pretty (disregard that word) to see it all. There are three lanes in front of Mitchell, one turns left, one turns right, and the other is for traffic going away from Mitchell. One guy was turning, well trying to, onto the lane going away from Mitchell and these kids shouted at him loud enough and so much that they confused him. He missed his turn, almost hit the front end of a truck that was waiting to turn left, and then turned onto the lane for those turning right where he, yet again, almost ran a car over. I didn't know if I should laugh or rip their cardboard signs up and tell 'em to get lost. Laughter won in the end.
Today has started out okay. I believe my want of sleep has ticked my beloved father off, or perhaps it's just because I didn't answer the phone so I could stay warm under the covers. I'm home alone and am LOVING IT!!! I've already made plans to see my boyfriend angain tomorrow since it's back to Raleigh Sunday. Today however, I have nothing to do except go see my Uncle Doc. I can't do that unless my brother or father get back since I'm not tall enough to get the lawn mower in reverse, and the four wheeler is behind it. Oh the joys of being 5'2". Anyway I might do another blog post later, but only time will tell.
500,000!!!!
"Whooooau! I feel good, I knew that I would now
I feel good, I knew that I would...".
My creations reached 500,000 downloads here in TSR. It may sound not impressive for some but for me it's a reason to thank all of you again for being so receptive about my work! It's also a reason to celebrate and I made a new big set with six outfits for this occasion! It will be released next Sunday. I hope you enjoy these creations and have fun with them!
Thank you again for this acchievement and thank you TSR for allowing me to publish my creations here!
Hugs and Peace,
Sandra
People, PLEASE READ THIS!!!!! I have a question: at the end.
Hi ebrebody! I'm here, blogging away again- and unfortunately, not writing. (I'm sorry!) I've been really busy, and I haven't been playing the sims since I gave it up for lent. As soon as Easter hits- I'll be writing away again. (Hope you can be patient!)
I'm really tired. Really really tired. I miss TSRing and writing- and I want to give a 'shout-out' to EVERYONE who writes in my guestbook, or comments on my stories, or looks at my screenshots, or reads my blog girl blogs. THANK YOUx 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 million billlion times! You all make my day, every time you comment. I'm lazy, so, you know, it takes time to Thank YOu all. But I really want to say that to y'all. (:D)
Hope you all had a good week! Sorry my blog was short- I had 2 band performances within 2 hours of each other. I'm worn out- and my lips are kinda sore. (The sacrifice of being a sax player) and there were clinics. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Okay....there. That's absolutely everything I had to say!
Oh, before I go, I wanted to know, did anyone read a story called 'Sylvia'? Written by sandy something or other? I read it 2 or 3 years ago, and lately I've been looking for it to reread, because it was really good. About a girl in a wheelchair-older sister Sonia? That's pretty much all I remember about it, besides that I loved it. If anyone has read it, or found it, 100 million thank yous if you tell me where it is. I REALLY WANT TO READ IT AGAIN!!!!!!Please?
Happy Thursday!
Emily
Inventory Categories
Since playing WA I have found that my sims have lots of things in their inventory...and it usually takes time to find the items I want to find. It would be nice to have inventory categories....such as fish, rocks, seeds, vegetables, fruit, relics, etc. I hope they are working on this for the next expansion packj or patch.
I have just finished redoing one of my TSR sims 2 houses per request by munchoz32. She said it was her favorite house and really missed having in in sims 3. I forgot I used to build such hugh houses. :) Had to use the biggest empty lot in game, by the Landgraaab's & Alto's. I think its a good recreation.....but I admit I went a little wild on the decorating, too many options in Sims 3. Munchoz32 is testing it for me now and I'm about to move my explorer into when she returns from Egypt. If all goes well this will be my next submission to TSR.
I am still enjoying playing my adventurer named after myself...she is doing quests in Egypt that I have never done before. Really do love the World Adventures expansion pack.
TSR and Me
I am not new to TSR but hadn't been on here in a while, been busy with my crazy life. I didn't realize what I was missing. This site is sooooooooo cool!!! If you are new to TSR you will love this site. I've been on here for hours and there is so much more to discover. I'm having a blast!!!!!
March 21st, Sims 2 Slipper Chair
The Vanity Fair Sims 2 Slipper Chair is a re-design or "conversion" of the Sims 3 slipper chair mesh. The Sims 2 slipper chair mesh and its 6 recolors are scheduled for publication on March 21, 2010. The brand new slipper chair design is now available for both Sims 2 and Sim 3 games!
Happy Simming and Take Care,
Carolyn
Finished!!
Hiya everyone!!
I think I've near enough finished the Simples Table for my new set, just doing a bit more tweaking. Onto the stool next!
Oh and does anybody have any ideas for what else I should make (rugs, plant etc.) Just to finish the set off.
I would apreciate feedback and love to hear any ideas off anybody so post a comment if you have anything to say
Thanks, Reece :D
Easily Distracted? Me?
Well yeah, nothings changed there *lol* Although technically I started working on these facial piercings before the door set and only stopped because I couldn't get the bone assignments to work correctly so that the piercings moved with the Sims facial expressions. So I switched to doors, only to run into the 'door disappears when opened' problem. Luckly I figured out how to fix that and, as it turned out, it was also the fix for my piercings issue too!
So yes, I'm back to the piercings since I really want them myself. It's proving to be a project that requires a little compromise on my part, as I tend to be a perfectionist *lol*
The earrings are fine, on teens they sit a little bit farther out from the head, but only in that it's noticable if your looking from behind and only then it's very slight. At first I was hoping I'd be able to make them unisex, but female heads are a little too much smaller to make this possible.
The facial piercings are where the compromise seems to need to come in. Depending on the eyebrow style that you use, as you can see from the two images in the preview at the bottom, the eyebrow ring will not sit the same for all. So I have positioned it in the middle to average it out. So with some eyebrows it will be a little low and others a little high. But this was the best I could figure out. The lip ring is fine.
I am using the Right Earring and Left Earrings to clone from, my multiple earring assigned to one and the facial piercings assigned to the other so that there will be more flexibility in putting combinations together.
And this is probably the most boring blog I've written yet *lol*
ETA: I tried making a 'bridge' piercing, but found that about 50% of the time it ended up hidden inside the Sims nose. Assigning to the bridge or the nose didn't seem to make any difference in this. I think it is due to there being two sliders at work in that region of the face, bridge width and nose width, and unless your Sim has an average width for both it doesn't work well. Thus my not including it in my set.
Yahooo! My computer is... working!!!!
La la la my computer works now!!! I can play sims!!! And by the way, I created a beautiful sequin swimsuit, which I will upload today... so, I'm back!!!!)))))))))
Hello my friends
1 000 000 downloads !!! I really appreciate it. Just wanted to say Thanks for all of you! I comback and i want create more nice dresses, houses, wallpapers for Sims 2 I,m so happy to share my creations with all of you. Enjoy everyone!!!
Well I've been a busy bee...
I am dissappointed in myself that I cant keep continuing to upload my creations, having an engagement party an 18th and a 21st Birthday party to plan all in the first 3months of the year I am feeling the stress... along with my new workload from staff shortage I am stressed to thy max!!
Just found out I have endometriosous. If you under 16 dont bother looking into it... But some older woman may know what it is... causes me lots of pain... =S Unfortunatley the doctor is baffled why I am in pain all the time consdiering the "Hormone Therapy" medication us girlys take everyday (wink) should stop it... I've been having rough nights as its been getting worse...
Anyway, it has stopped me creating, not that I think anyone reads this, simpathizes and believes they will miss my work. Its very basic stuff!!
Turning 21 on April the 27th. Then its on to planning my wedding, the date is set on the 21st April 2012. Two years, but its better sooner then later to get all my bookings down, plus its sooooo hard to just pick ONE colour scheme, I may regret it for the rest of my living life. My friend recently got married in a VERY close family "suprise" ceremony, she was pregnany. I got my invite last week, they are doing the whole wedding thing again, this time with friends and extended family!
Hmmmm, wouldnt it be nice to do it all over again... squeeze my fat A$$ in to my wedding dress that fit me 10years ago... its good movitation to lose weight I guess... Which reminds me, 7kgs down. I really have noticed a difference... 3more to go.
THANKS
