Dining Deco 2
A few days ago I received a comment from blah76, on my "Red Line Dining Deco". She says: "You can't place it on any surface it hovers in midair." Yes its true. You must use "moveObjects on". After that you can put it on the table. If you want the perfect way, selected object and use the alt key. You will see it works.
However, this item is not allowed in any surface. That's why I made a new one. "dining deco-2". Now, you can put it any surface. But your Sims can't eat his meal on it! Because, it has a place on the table and Sims can't put the plate.
Preference is yours. You can choose your favorite one. Happy simming, Melinda! 
Over with it.
The interviewing thing was a complete failure on my part. so sorry. ;___;
But, instead, I'm more of a screenshot/story kind of person. xD

I'm a happy girl today!!!!

So Sorry!
Hi everyone, after a long time.
First of all, thank you very much for your comments on my creations and your messages in my GB. I know this can't excuse but I was a little busy. I've read all comments and messages from you and I will answer them all as soon as possible.
In later days, there will be good surprises. I hope you will forgive me.
Yours, Melinda!
Screenshot is featured on front page!
Wow! I am so overjoyed! I can't beleive that one of my screenshots is being featured on the front page! This is so cool! I would never have imagined that this would happen! While playing the game one night, China was loading and I was just messing around waitnig for my sim to load on the screen and decided to see if the camara would work while it was loading. To my surprise, it worked. So being featured on something that was random while playing the game and wanting to share with everyone that this was possible to do (camara shot while waiting for sim to load) is just awesome! So go check it out.........it really is a good screenshot! :-) !!
China Vacation Home Finally Submitted
I finally submitted my China vacaction home (100 Dragon Hills) tonight. I've tested it with two different sims and have enjoyed it. Hope others do too. :)
I watched the video for the new stuff pack tonight and decided I've got to go buy it tomorrow. I'm a big fan of the modern furnishings so I decided it looked interesting. Thought I needed to submit my house before adding another pack to my game.
I have still been enjoying playing WA with the sim I named after myself (Kathy), but have lately got a little sidetracked by Texas Holdem on Facebook and have been very lucky. :)
Last night Kathy went on another vacation to China. I remembered a sim she knew dying the last time she visited China but didn't think much about it. When she arrived in China this time I got a message that she had witnessed a death. Okay, fine but then she cried for 2 days over an elderly sim named Chen, with the same last name as mine (and my adventurer). I created this sim and she has no relatives, but it's like the game made this guy her father. I know none of the sims in China had my last name before he died, it's not an oriental name. Strange, but it's little things like that that keep me playing.
Hey, it's February.
Hey, everyone, I haven't written a blog in a while, so here it goes (Don't all blogs seem to start off this way?).
I'm really loving creating at the moment. I've make some of my favorite outfits by far just recently. And, I'm looking forward to what I'll come up with next!
Oh, and I hit 3 MILLION downloads. *applause* Why, thank you. Haha, yeah...
And, i found a new obsession! Grey's Anatomy. I have no clue why I didn't ever watch it before, but it's really great. I'm almost through watching season 3, and that's taken me like 2 months. I also can't wait till Glee comes on again. Yes, I love Glee. It's true. Tell the world.
My astounding skills in Gimp can in handy a couple days ago. I was bored, so I started making logos for this guy's band. So, I gave him the link, and he actually used one on his Facebook and Myspace. Score one for Claire!
In school, I'm getting more and more stressed about scholarships! Oh my goodness, people, please give me money! I am also amazed by my sudden lack of homework and my also very sudden case of Senioritis. Can't wait till the weather warms up, then there'll be nothing to keep me focused! It's so freakishly cold here all of the sudden. We'll have one week of 60s weather, then the next week we'll get ice and snow. I hate snow (and ice, and cold wind). If it wasn't so freaking windy, it wouldn't be that bad.
Oh, and I really appreciate everyone's comments and entries in my guestbook! I haven't had as much time to reply to everyone, but hopefully i'll get to it soon! Also, if you ask a really stupid question (yes, there are such a thing as stupid questions, you know who you are), I probably won't answer you. Take the freaking time to look up a tutorial by yourself, it's not hard. There's this new thing called Google. It makes searching really easy. Can you believe that?
Also, I put the link to the mesh FOR A REASON! The reason: it is necessary for you to download it for the outfit to work in your game. It isn't necessary to comment 14 times telling me that it didn't work for you (this happened. complete with exquisitely improper grammar). Don't get me wrong, if there is a problem with the mesh, or I put the wrong link, tell me. Tell me that you think the link is wrong or something, don't just say that it doesn't work for you. That's not helpful, because I'll just tell you to download the mesh.
Enough ranting for today.

The Green Family
The Greens are not original residents of Old Town, nor are they one of the older families. They would have been one of the wealthiest, except that they had moved out of their old house and into the Old District, where land was more valuable. Building a new home from scratch drained their financial resources, but with everyone working hard, they are steadily replenishing their bank account.
Davis and Angelica Green moved to Old Town shortly after their marriage. Davis, who had always been good at knowing where things were located--even after they had been deliberately hidden--had learned more about his paranormal gifts and had found employment in the neighborhood as an Exorcist. He still gets a lot of calls to find missing things, though.
Angelica Green (who happens to be Hector Miller's older sister, and who had encouraged him to move to Old Town after his divorce from Misty Talbot) met Davis in college, where she was studying the theater arts. After their marriage she took a job as a waitress to help make ends meet, but she was soon "discovered" and worked her way into bit parts and supporting roles, and finally made into musicals as a Broadway Star.
They have one daughter, Bethany.
Shortly thereafter, Davis' twin sister Collette married into the Rutherford family. This was a plus because not only were the twins--who had always been close--living near to one another, their children would always have playmates nearby.
Later, Davis' older brother Theo, his wife Alicia, and their son Isaac came to town. Returned from living abroad and needing a place to stay, the younger brother invited the older to move in with them. Accepting the offer, Theo and Alicia make their contribution to the household finances, though neither make as much as Davis and Angelica.
Theo, who had been an executive in another company, now used his severance pay (wishing to return stateside, he'd had no choice but to quit his job) to start his own company. Now he is a CEO, making more than he was making at his old job.
Alicia, who had also been working with her husband at that other comany, used her severance pay to go back to school and study to her heart's content. Now, having received her degrees in science, she works as a Theorist.
A few months after Theo and his family moved in, Davis and Theo's parents arrived. Having been forced to vacate their old home (to make way for a new residential community of tract housing), they moved in with their sons--thus forcing the move into a bigger home.
Susan has always been a housewife, and she always will be. She loves being near her grandchildren and is more than happy to take over the household duties of meal preparation, etc. That is, after all, what she knows. Nathaniel, on the other hand, became restless in his retirement. He first thought to go back to school and teach--he had been a science teacher before his retirement--but changed his career after being frustrated at the lack of fashions for older people. Now working in the fashion industry, he's determined to change the way of the world...by promoting his idea of "Gorgeous Gray, Sexy Silver" to the everyone. He has aspirations to become a Fashion Columnist, thus gaining a wider audience, and plans to start his own clothing line.
Bad computer
Due to problems with my laptop the decision has come for me to buy a better laptop so it will be awhile before I start creating or making stories again.
What improvements should i make on my lots?
Post any improvements you might have in mind regarding my lots, and be sure i will take them into consideration on my upcoming creations!
What do you like most in my lots?
Post here the things you like on my lots and if they are unique why you think so.
I've requested once but I'll request again.
I'm so desperate for some lovely kind person out there to make me an Alice Cooper Sim, that I'll even put some little pictures up of him in this blog so people have something to work from. I think I've tried two or three times in the past to make a believable looking Alice Sim, and to be honest, I don't get anywhere near as close to realism as I would like too. So please, if you are a kind person and want to help a fellow Simmer in need, make me an Alice Sim!!! ^_^
Here are pix for help on his features and all that below...
Some people make me laugh...
Seriously, if someone from your distant past came back and messaged you about how sorry they were for bullying you mercilessly for at least two and a half years of your school career, would you forgive them?
Or, put it like this. Would you forgive someone who bullied you mercilessly for at least two and a half years of your school career, affected your studies to the point where you couldn't concentrate any more, made you so sensitive to criticism and social situations that even now, you find it hard to trust people until you really, really know them, turned some of your friends and classmates against you, made you too scared to attend your favourite lessons so you just used to spend the whole hour hanging around in the school toilets nearly crying with fear and nearly made you slash your wrists at the age of 14???
Got this message from one of my old 'classmates' this morning...
hello adele. i think you know who i am. if not, then basically i'm the idiot who did some not very nice things at school. I want to apologise for being such a jackass. I look back at how i was then and it saddens me to see how much of a dick i was. I am sincerely sorry and i have grown up a lot and learnt a lot of life lessons during and since school. Whether it was a big deal to you or not, i still believe i was wrong to act the way i did. I hope you can find it within you to forgive me but if not i understand. I do really wish you all the best adele. yours truthfully stuart eades
Just feel like telling him to screw off...nice to see that being in the top group in English has impacted so well on his grammar and punctuation.
Makes me feel sick just reading it. If he messages me again, I'm going to email the admins on Facebook and ask them to block him from contacting me.
Back to studying...
Well, I just thought I would let everyone know (who I haven't already) that I am back to my studies after having a great holiday break. Unfortunately we all have to get back into it some time! So, due to this, there may be slightly longer periods between the chapters of my stories but I will try my utmost to keep them coming out regularly. The next six weeks will probably be the busiest for me because I am in the midst of planning quite a crucial event as part of my course (I'm in Events Management) and obviously there's lots to organise and not a lot of time to do it in....fingers crossed!
I'm experiencing Sims 3 withdrawl
My Geography exam is tomorrow morning, which means all day studying and no Sims! If I'd started studying a few days ago, maybe I'd be able to play a bit today, but seeing as I am the Queen of Procrastination and haven't even glanced at my notes, let alone sit down and read them again and again, I've not time at all. Instead I'm watching Friends and recopying my Canada a La Carte notes.
Luckily this is my last exam. Unluckily, next semester (which beings on Thursday) I have Science, Math, Spanish, Gym (ugh) and Web Design, so basically all the hard courses.
I miss English. 8[
The English exam actually went pretty well. We had done all our questions prior to the actual exam day, so the actual exam day consisted of re-reading my short story, editing it and then recoyping it. And then answering two more questions.
The good news is that I have no school on Friday, so that means SIMS ALL DAY LONG!
Well, here's hoping I get at least 75% on my exam so that I can keep my computer!
Ta!

Sims 2? Yes!
I think, I'll stop to create items for sims 3 for some time because of my illness. Maybe I will create for Sims 2-it's more easy for me now, and many people continue to play sims 2 (me too). I create clothing and make-up, and I hope I'll publish it soon.

Some new walls for TS2
I've been working at making some walls & whenever I think I'm done & go & make more colors of this set. There is a MAXIS wall that has some wood accents & has a white top 1/2 with a beige lower 1/2. Well I liked using that wall quite a bit but kept wishing it was offered in more colors.......so......I went & started making a bunch of colors that I like & I hope everyone else likes as well. :) So far I've made dozens of colors & I'm working on getting them ready for upload. ;)
Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff Pack
Okay so it's a slow day at work today and I was just surfing the net... on sims stuff of course! And apprantly there is a stuff pack coming out in Feb...like the 4th! That's if you live in Aust and 5th Feb if you live in Europe. I haven't heard anything about this, have you? The theme of this new stuff pack is Modern. It includes lots of new & modern clothing, modern art paintings and new modern technology. As a 10th anniversery gift it will include an Aquarium from Sims 2 (about time!), a vibrating heart shaped bed from Sims 1 (this is hilarious) and an electric guitar, if my memory serves me correctly, from Sims 2. Now all we need is the spa!
You can check out more info on the Sims 3 website but here is the front cover.
NEWS & NEW PROJECTS
Hey :D
I got some news, first just got a brand new awesome computer. I'm really happy with it, but i still need to install all of the sims games so its going to take some time.
But in other news, i got some ideas for projects. Some guys for a change: James Franco and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. And girls for sure a Autumn Reeser sim, and still not sure because i don't know if i will have time Megan Fox and Rose Mcgowan.
The michael jackson sim is out of question I saw the Vera Marina sims at MTS and i just don't think i can do better, they are really great. The other sims that i talked about in my other post may still be done but i just started my second semester in college so i don't have much time.
But the James Franco, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Autumn Reeser sims I really want to create so they will probably be out this february.
So if you like them or have any other suggestion let me know.
Happy simming!!
Last part of His Father's Son
Hi everybody! Just wanted to let you know that I just submitted the last part of my story 'His Father's Son'. I hope, you will enjoy it.
2002
Blogging is sooo~ yesterday. I had it on my list of things to do, but I lost the list back in 2002 
Ten Million? You are Kidding Me!
Many thanks to all who have downloaded. I never in my wildest thought I'd reach 10 million downloads. That is 10,000,000! That is just crazy! I'm so thrilled that some of you have found my things useful. I will try to get something new to you before too long. I would rather give you something I am proud of rather than something I just rush out.
You can't believe how thrilled I am to achieve this goal. I will keep on working at it and look forward to your continued support. All your kind comments and encouragement mean the world to me.
Those who have been helping me learn know who you are and know how special you are. TSR rocks!
The Cooper Family
Once upon a time a man met a woman. They fell in love, got married, and celebrated a new addition to the family...eight times. Then, one day after the oldest child left home to serve in the military, the man and the woman died in a tragic accident. While returning home from visiting friends, they were caught in a thunderstorm. The rain weakened a hillside, and the resultant landslide knocked their car from the road, tumbling it down into a ravine where they were buried under the muddy earth. By the time anyone realized anything was wrong, it was too late.
Their firstborn child, a son, could do nothing, stationed as he was overseas and on a top-secret mission for military intelligence. So, care for her younger siblings fell to the oldest daughter, Louisa Cooper. Having recently graduated from high school, she gave up her scholarship to university to enter the workforce and support her family. One by one, as each Cooper kid graduated from high school, they also entered the workforce. However, because of Louisa's sacrifice, they were also able to attend university.
Around the time that the third child, Paul, graduated from high school, the oldest son finally learned what had happened and tried to send his pay home to help support the family. Louisa, however, sent the money back, insisting that they were fine. Besides, she told him, he was living alone and would need to support himself as well, while all of them were contributing to their bank account. Though this initially caused bad feelings between the two oldest, they both finally agreed to disagree about the money and left it at that.
After the youngest sibling graduated from high school, Louisa made the decision to sell the house and relocate the family to Old Town, where the money from the house sale along with all their savings was enough to buy a new house and make the renovations needed to comfortable fit them all. With the little money left over, Louisa was able to return to school part time. Eventually, she put the skills she had developed raising her siblings to practical use and went into the culinary industry. Even though she opened her own restaurant and now has a nice income as a Celebrity Chef, she never did get her college diploma.
About the time she opened her restaurant, her next younger sister went on a trip to Europe, fell in love, and never returned.
A strange gift had long run through the family, though it was stronger in some than in others. Paul, the next brother Werner, and the third sister Tabitha, were strongest of all, and they put their paranormal abilities to good use. All three rose quickly to become Exorcists, and their daily salary was a welcome influx to their dwindling savings.
The youngest daughter, Jasmine, though she shared her siblings' abilities, was more interested in finding out how they worked than in actually using them. In order to do so, she went into the sciences, eventually becoming a Theorist. She still hasn't quite figured out how their powers work, but it hasn't been from lack of trying--the older three are tired of being her guinea pigs.
The youngest of the family, Kurt, had done some modeling while in high school and decided to pursue a career in fashion full-time. Capitalizing on his handsome good looks and his youthful innocence, he was the spokesmodel for numerous advertising campaigns. Knowing, however, that the his youth wouldn't last forever, he began looking beyond just being a pretty face. In short order he became a Fashion Columnist, though he does do a bit of modeling on the side now and again.
Just before Kurt's career took off, the family received word that their oldest brother had fallen in love with a nurse at a military hospital...a nurse who just happened to have family in Old Town. Then they found out that their brother had married the nurse and now had a son. Then, shortly after Kurt became a Fashion Columnist, they received word that their brother, his wife, and his mother-in-law had died in a car accident. After the funeral, they learned that their previously unknown nephew, Hayden, would be moving in with his mother's family, the Rutherfords, in Old Town. Happy that this last connection to their brother would be nearby, the Coopers met with the Rutherfords--previously unknown to them--and became good friends.
Shortly thereafter, their missing sister, Kimberly, showed up on their doorstep with her son Ethan in tow. She said only that they needed a place to live. Louisa accepted her back into the household, though it did require a bit of shuffling to manage the sleeping arrangements. Kimberly said nothing about her sudden reappearance, and no one asked. However, Paul and Werner were able to divine out a few things from what little Kimberly did say about Ethan's father--that he was a violent, possessive, obsessive drunkard who had been nice at first but showed his true nature shortly after Ethan's birth. She had fled upon learning that their marriage was invalid since he had apparently been married to another woman--a woman who had left him and whom he was always trying to track down, which was why Kimberly had been able to slip away before Ethan's first birthday. They had been running ever since. As to the name of her husband, Kimberly muttered something like "shameful" and "nasty," but her brothers were able to determine that his real name was Shamus Nast.
Although Kimberly feared being discovered by Nast--she had learned that now he was searching for her as well as his wife--she was determined to make a living for herself. Supported by family and friends--some of whom belonged to the wealthiest and most powerful of families in Old Town--she has begun pursuing a career in Medicine, with hopes of becoming a Medical Researcher some time in the near future.
Ethan doesn't remember anything about his father except that he didn't like him at all. He much prefers having three uncles who treat him nicely like a human being, not an insect to be stepped on.
Friendship :-) Always my friend forever. Another email from mom. She is so sweet. I love her dearly.
I had an X-ray done today, and they found you in my heart. The Doctor said if they took you out, I would die, because I could not live without you as a friend. So you will have to stay in my heart forever.
Some more funny comics that mom sent............
To help lighten your day or night and make you all smile and or laugh! :-)
Which one is your favorite or made you laugh/smile the most?
Finally!!
After a long wait my new PC is up and running and the sims 3 has been installed. i cannot wait to finally play it!! :D
What would you like?
I hope you had a good start into the new year!
I am thinking about creating new clothes, I have a few ideas because of what I need in my game (more medieval or roman sleeping attires... more outdoor clothes for "normal" and medieval Sims... maybe something for my futuristic Sims...) but I'm not sure what YOU want. Lots of people have bookmarked me - I just don't know why ;-)
So, I have a few questions: would you prefer "normal" clothes or medieval ones? Do you prefer Maxis meshes or custom ones - or don't care? Any age you need most? (Like - there are tons of clothes for adult Sims but less so for elder ones, toddlers etc...)
Please leave a comment and let me know :-)
Some funny stuff mom sent me again. :-)
Some cute (funny) comics that mom sent to me. Wanted to share the smiles.
Updated Nautical Boy's Bedroom Armchair Mesh
Hi y'all!
I received 2 comments that the Nautical Boy's Bedroom Loveseat Mesh was "flashing blue" ingame or not appearing at all. I made a few tweaks to the Nautical Boy's Bedroom Armchair Mesh, which is the loveseat's master file, re-tested the object, and it passed with "flying colors!" Oops! Maybe, I should say, it should no longer flash blue!
If you are having problems with the Nautical Boy's Bedroom Loveseat Mesh, please download the updated file Nautical Boy's Bedroom Armchair Mesh, a note in the catalog description states the file was update Jan. 25, 2010. If anyone continues to experience problems with the loveseat after downloading and installing the updated armchair mesh, please PM me.
Thanks for your patience and Happy Simming!

First junk set uploaded!
But I bet you didn't expect this one!
Yes, to launch my part in this week's upcoming Yard and Gardens theme, I really did upload a pile of trash! I know I say that anyway, but this really IS trash! The showpiece of the set is a fully working trashcan fire (a big thanks to riccinumbers for helping with bashing the default chimney into oblivion).
Also included in the set is an all-new terrain paint for litter. When painted around the tipped-over trashcan, it matches the litter in the bin perfectly so you can spread the litter as far as you like!.
Unfortunately, the default trashcan cannot be changed (yet), so the remaining bins in the set are decorative and won't replace your in-game bin. However, they are proportioned similarly so you can build quite a collection of bins around your in-game bin, match up the colours etc. Another 'unfortunately' is that I felt obliged to ensure these bins could all be shiny-new too. The propped lid in the piccie demonstrates this shudder-worthy example.
Also added to the litter is a faint smell. Lean close to your screen and breathe in deeply, and you should catch a nice whiff of rotted fish....
And you ALMOST did that, didn't you?! You nearly fell for it!
Really illl...
I'm very ill so I can't create new items-it's too difficult for me now. I hope that I'll recover soon and start to create again.
