Simple Ponytail
Hi everyone! I've started work on my second Sims 3 hair mesh, and I really like the way it's coming out so far! It's just a simple ponytail with bangs, nothing too extravagent this time. I do have it in game and working, but it has a few glitches and some mesh oddities that I need to fix. I'll come back and show some pictures of it actually in game once I get it somewhat decent looking!
Still Waiting
I uploaded my first submission over the weekend and I am still waiting to hear anything. THE WAITING IS KILLING ME. I know I am new to this but does it usually take this long?
Starting To Create for III
The Sims 3, sounds challenging, ive been retired from creating objects and clothings for a quite time now, but this III just make me want to go back and build more stuffs, this new contents and tricks are hard, but thanks to the community and the TSR Program. i can go back and start creating some stuffs on my way.
Latis Livingroom
Next, after the Latis Bathroom and diningroom, comes my Latis Livingroom.
This also still is a work in progress, so the picture you see here is not the finished room...
As you can see I'm still going on about the snow.....
...as it is one of the things affecting my everyday life at the moment...I'm totally snowed in again...luckily, it's a small town and all the shop keepers live locally, so by and large every shop is open...
as you can see the main roads through the town are pretty impassable..so I'm stuck at home again today :-( ...well, I shall be on here, and playing sims, building again I should think...hopefully I will be able to get to work tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great day...and Stay Safe!
New Lot: CedarCreek Vineyard
I am just loving World Adventures (well, when it's working) and am having a lot of fun making nectar. Which got me to thinking . . . we can now create a fully-functioning vineyard for our sims to live in! So over the past week I have been painstakingly designing, creating and decorating a lot for your sims to live in that includes a cosy country home, nectary, and vineyard. It's almost finished, I just need to make a few tweaks, but I thought I would share some screenshots of it with you.
The screenies can be found in my gallery and I'm hoping to upload the lot on the weekend.
If you have any suggestions for something you think might improve the lot, I'd love to hear about it.
~Enjoy.
Oceanview
Single story single bedroom. This modern home is perfect for your bachelor/ette. Will be available 15/1 Check it out in my Upcoming pod. For some reason Shino&KCR's dining table is showing as part of the upload ... it is NOT included. All comments welcome!
What's up with our stories?
Does anyone know what the deal is with our stories? I've submitted the first part of my new story several days ago and although I did edit it slightly on the 10th Jan it is still saying 'edited'. I know a few members are having trouble with finding their stories too. I thought the end of the world was meant to be 2012, not 2010? lol
My Creations - Please Read ! (Thank you)
Just to let everyone know, my Walls and Floors can be used even if you only have the base game.
I thought it was compulsory to select an expansion pack but a good friend on here has advised me otherwise.
Hope you are all enjoying my creations.
Thank you for your time. :)
Stories.
Hello. I know it has been a long time since I have updated "Sarah Daae's Story" and "College Dreams" but I have a VERY good explanation for that. You see, both games stopped working on my computer. So you know, I can't update the stories if I haven't got the games to update.
However, I will be getting "The Sims 3" and "The Sims 3: World Adventures" next week, so I will be able to continue with "Sarah Daae's Story" (I have the game files saved). In the case of "College Dreams", what I shall do is create the characters in "The Sims 3" and carry on their story like that. It'll be better in "The Sims 3" anyway, because as you know, it is not as restricted as "The Sims 2".

Trailer Park
Well, as we all know, the simmers life starts somewhere. So in my game i have a trailer park where my simmers start there lifes. And now i have oploaded the whole park for you to use, and i hope you like it :) In my game i have it in the country, i dont know where to put it in the city, perhaps the space that lies a bit away from the center, the space thats empty when you start the game, up in the hills if you know what i mean :) But then there are some grounds there are to big, perhaps the space behind the cityhall is better. I have used the grounds for 1200 as the base for the poor simmers.
My next project is middelclas (spell?)
I am trying to create some houses there are for the next pricetag, somewhere between 15000 to 25000. And i think i put them in the country as well, and as the trailer park, i will put some pictures up in my gallery when i am done, so you can see how it looks like in the game :) The base is the grounds from 1200 - 1800. Well, depends on where i will locate it. But there will be more info aboute it when i am done.
I am still going to make some modern houses in between the project, as they seem to be something people like. I dont know if i am going to use some subscribers items for them, cuse i want everyone to have the chance to use them. Yah, i think i will use some cuse i want them to look different, i dont like when all houses looks the same. Its not realistic, but i will not use them on all of them.
I hope people can relate a bit to my thoughts about the houses that i oploade to the site, i want them to be usefull and i dont want them to be to big with a lot of space the simmers will not use. That is for the biggest houses, where the superstars live, and will have rooms for every thing they need, instead of having rooms with two or three uses.
Well, enough for this time, hope its readable cuse i am not perfect in spelling ;)
New story coming up
Hi everybody. After some weeks I got my inspiration back. I've just submitted the first chapter of another story which is called 'His Father's Boy'. I must say that I had a hard time to choose out of hundreds of screenshots. I hope you'll like the result.
I have a story in mind.
My story consists of 2 girls that grow up together, their mothers are best friends. One is a very out and proud lesbian and the other is straight, a huge flirt with the boys. When they become teenagers, the Out one (I'll say for now) forms a crush on the other, after seeing her develop and suddenly she's looking more mature. She admits her feelings to the girl and soon they are distant but the other finds that she is also curious with her feelings for the girl. So she goes for it, leaving all the boys practically begging at their knees for her attention behind. They grow into adults and move into a huge house, after the Other girl inherits all of her mother's money after her death.... I'm dragging on, forgive me.
I'll try and get to the point. I don't have names chosen for the girls yet, or even what they look like. I want the one that's a lesbian to look feminine with a little edge, tattoos/piercings, all that. And the other girl to look very girly and stylish. For now, in the blog I will call the lesbian Lesa and the straight one Sia, so I don't confuse you. This is all very bundled up and confusing right now because the story is going to be missing important pieces that I left out on purpose. Keep in mind...these are just my ideas for the story...
So, continuing on...
The girls are madly in love. Lesa loves the upper class, modern life with all the parties and being a social butterfly. Sia wants to focus on school and going to work, making sure her life is in order before she even thinks about partying. Well, years pass and they are happy as ever...or so they think. Lesa decides she wants to buy a bigger house with more cars, while Sia insists on staying where they are now. She tells Lesa one day, "Darling, I want a family." Lesa laughs and replies, "Oh, dear. We are a family!" Completely ignoring the sadness in Sia's eyes, she runs off to another party. Sia sits at home and ponders to herself...is this really what she wants for the rest of her life? Just constant parties and people in and out of their lives? It's fun but she wants to settle down. She yearns for a child to bear as her own and to come home to a spouse with open arms. You know, the typical dream of any family-oriented person.
One day, Lesa is preparing for a party at their house. Sia approaches her and insists that they discuss the conversation further. It's very important to her. Lesa sighs and agrees to talking about it. What a relief, Sia thinks to herself. She hopes Lesa takes this as serious as she does. She tells her how she wants the white picket fence, the boy and the girl children, the typical "soccer mom" persona...all of it. She wants a family. She doesn't want the cars and the parties. She wants something serious, something for their future. Sia hopes Lesa takes her serious but instead Lesa just laughs it off like it's just another one of Sia's silly fantasies. Sia cries herself to sleep that night...Thinking to herself Is this really going to last?
Sia just sucks it up and continues living Lesa's life...as she refers to it now. She dresses up for the party for the night and Lesa is nothing but smiles because she just loves the idea of a good party. While Lesa is out shopping, she meets a man named Michael. He introduces himself politely and tells her that he just moved into town from the city and is trying to start a business there. She thinks oh what a wonderful oppurtunity to have him meet new people, so she invites him to her party that night. He accepts the invitation and is glad to meet someone so willing to help him out in the social scene in town.
Sia stares in the mirror...practically beating herself up for even thinking such a stupid thing in the first place. I mean, look at Lesa's lifestyle. She's a party animal. Of course she doesn't want to just end it all...not even for her... It's so sad.
She hears the music starting and walks downstairs to join the party, although she is choking up and it's hard to hold back her tears. Lesa has no idea how much it really is hurting her...she's too busy socializing and drinking with her friends...er...acquaintances.
Sia tries to fit in to the scene but she just can't get her mind off how this is just not the life she wants. She decides she needs a drink and approaches the bar, where an unfamiliar man is sitting. He looks uncomfortable, out of place. She makes small talk as she orders her drink and introduces herself as Lesa's girlfriend. His name's Michael, it's the one Lesa met at the store earlier that day. He told her how she invited him over and Sia's reaction was not surprised at all by that, she was used to her doing that sort of thing. She jokes and says how Lesa puts a little too much trust into people and will allow almost anyone into their home as long as they bring the booze. He laughs with her, but trying to maintain his manners since he is a guest and he barely knows her.
Lesa announces that everyone will be moving down to the beach area, where there's a fire and music and the moonlight. It's not far...it's practically their backyard. Michael offers to help carry some things with Sia, noticing that she's fumbling the cases of beer and containers of alcohol. Of course she needs it so she says yes. As they're walking down, Sia watches Michael...almost in a slow-motion like way. Everything just suddenly...stops.
His hair is almost blue when it's hit by the moonlight, his lips are so pink you would think he was wearing makeup, his smile is so sincere, his eyes are so dark they're practically black, and his hands... Oh, Sia had a thing for nice hands. She found herself...being attracted to this man. As she moved her eyes up his arms, she notices tattoos... Looking at his face again, she realizes that he also has a neck tattoo. She wondered where else he had a tattoo...Perhaps he was covered in them...I wonder if every tattoo means something to him...Do they have a story? Sia finds herself daydreaming about him.
Her thoughts are suddenly interrupted by Michael asking if she was alright.
"Oh, I'm fine, sorry. Just in a little daze." She smiles sweetly, trying to distract herself by adjusting the cases of beer to look busy.
They make their way down to where everyone is sitting and Sia finds a spot close to Michael. She tries to get Lesa's attention when she walks by her but Lesa is just too into the conversation she is having with 3 other girls, and practically ignores her. Michael notices and tries to make Sia feel better by talking to her.
(Well, there I go again...rambling on and on. I do that sometimes.)
Michael and Sia find themselves falling for each other and Sia finds out that Michael wants just the same thing she does. She's stuck between being with the woman she fell in love with and a man she's just met...who wants everything she wants in the future. So does she stay in the now or go forward? It's a hard decision to make but she ends up having a secret relationship with Michael. Sia soon builds guilt and wants to admit what she is doing behind Lesa's back...She stills goes home to Lesa every night. Lesa just assumes they are best friends and have become really close, never thinking that Sia used to be quite the flirt and many men would love the chance to be with her if they had one. Lesa's just busy all the time with going out and being with her friends, she doesn't even notice that Sia isn't home...sometimes coming home so late in the night. She's just happy that she is getting out there, like she is.
Michael is sick of hiding the relationship and wants Sia to make a decision. Wanting her to leave Lesa, move in with him, and start a life they both want. Oh but Sia loves Lesa...even if she doesn't want that life. Lesa treats her well...But come to think of it, she does ignore her at times...and Sia is left feeling alone. Sia reveals her cheating behavior to Lesa and Lesa is torn...totally broken hearted. How could she do such a thing?! Lesa gave her life up for this girl...She had so many girls come at her and she refused to do anything...No...this can't be happening...
Lesa begs Sia to stay... "Baby, please, stay with me. I can give you the life you want. I can give you the white picket fence, the boy and the girl...All the kids you want, all the soccer games...it doesn't matter! I can stop the partying. We can move into any house you like. Please don't leave me, I love you with all my heart."
Sia tells her "No, you can't. But a man can. A man can give me the children I desire. A man can make me feel safe in a home... I'm sorry, Lesa. I am so sorry, but this is what I want. And I just can't have that life with you."
Sia was waiting so long to hear those words...but it was too late. She already made her decision and she's already packed half of her things... She is moving in with Michael.
....................................................................................
There is so much more to the story, but for now, I will keep it at that. This story has a message in it but I don't want to give away too much... It's very heartbreaking. But the question is...will Sia truly be happy with the life she dreamed of or will she regret everything and want to be back with Lesa, living the life of parties? Would Lesa really change if she came back? Would Lesa even want her back after leaving?
More later. I look forward to sharing this. :)

COMMENT TO MY STORIES AND CREATIONS--♥->>
My Wedding
We have set a date! Chris (my partner) and I have decided to get married on 01 September 2012 which is very exciting. I mean, it's still over 2 years away but we have to save up for it and there's lots to organise, of course. Fingers crossed the world doesn't end that year as it's rumoured to, haha. I'd like to make it down the aisle first! ;-)
We chose the 01 of September because it will be the first day of Spring, it's the first day of my birthday month and it was also my beautiful little dogs brithday when he was still alive. And the 1st just so happens to fall on a Saturday...perfect!
New Stuff Coming
Hi guys,
I've finally got my computer to work the way it should and I should have some patterns up tomorrow or the day after. They're going to be great, trust me. :)
Thanks for your comments!
Thanks for your comments! I recently asked for comments about my new Sims 3 dresser mesh.
I will definitely add the floral texture as an in game option for the dresser. I think a highboy or armoire style dresser would also be a great addition to the set, maybe in the future. I just have to wait for an updated TSR Workshop that will allow for repositioning of existing decorative slots and/or the creation of new slots. I also need for EA to include an armoire type dresser in the game, so that I can clone it, lol! Thanks for your feedback!
Preview of Things to Come!
Well, I'm in Sims 3 mode so far this week. I like the flexibility of moving from one game to another.
I created a new curtain mesh for Sims 3, and I am now hooked on
creating curtains. So, there maybe several new curtain meshes in the
future. It's so much easier to create curtains in Sims 3, you don't
need to create a diagonal mesh!
I'm almost finished with my mini-set, Vanity Fair Part III. I just need
to create another object or two for the set...hm-m-m-m-m, maybe
something decorative!
Just a few pictures I posted in my Victorian Tea Room (forum)
Hugs, and take care,
Carolyn
New Blog...
I have just set up a new blog on Blogger. http://duckeggpie.blogspot.com/
I am hoping to update it with bits and pieces about the families I am playing on Sims 3 at the moment (I would write stories but I always get far to into playing and forget to take the screen shots I need :) ) I will try to remember to take some screen shots to put up so it isn't all writing :)
Please take a look and follow it if you want :D
Upcoming stuff!
I showed one of them before and finally I submitted it! I also converted one of my houses from Sims 2, which I also submitted!
First house:
Second house, which is the Kahl House!
Both houses comes unfurnished so you can decorate as you want! :)
Kim Kardashian
I have a Kim Kardashian up on my website. :)
I will be posting Emmett Cullen on tsr in the not-too-distant future. Sorry for the wait, he's just proving to be very troublesome.
Check out my site if you'd like Kim, there are a few other sims up there as well if you are interested.

Caw-tool
Hello. Since I've downloaded the last patch I have been busy with all the pro's and contra's of it. I had to re-install the downloads from TSR. I noticed that the launcher doesn't show them as 'installed' but as stuff that has still to be installed; but in spite of that, it shows in the game.
Although having ideas for a story, I don't have the patience right now to put myself on it. Instead I'm playing with the caw-tool. It's rather complicated; perhaps not for you but for me it certainly is. I've created a few small worlds that I've deleted because they're not worth while to see. Now I start understanding the tool a bit more and that's how a spend my time 'understanding the tool'.
I must see that I really love it and once the problems of the patch have disappeared, I enjoy the game better. Now I understand what a hell of a job the creators of EA have had while creating the beautiful worlds in the game.
I hope that I will get back my inspiration for the story I have in mind. It surely felt very downhearted when I learnt that Bessie had past away. Such a young woman... I admire her sister Mae that she is strong enough to pick the work up that Bess left behind. Yesterday I saw that she had a change in the avatar. It really is admirable.
What a wonderful message in this YouTube video.
This was from an email my mom sent me today. I want to share this with everyone because it just goes to show that when you are having a bad day that anything is possible if you have the right attitude (not always an easy task).
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=9xwCG0Ey2Mg
So now whenever I am having a crappy day I will try to remember to thank God for all the blessings he has given me and to also remember Patrick who has faced so many obstacles in his life and has overcome them all with a great attitude.
I hope that you all enjoy this short video. :-)

Painting Troubles
Simmers!
I found out the blog-option in the menu, so I thought it would be a good idea to make an entry about my troubles making custom paintings with TSR-workshop and the GIMP... I have so many great ideas about lovely paintings, but every time I try and everything goes right, I endup in the game with a black square instead of a real painting.. Does anybody know how this could be? I installed a DDS plugin and the painting does show in the preview of the workshop and even in the startup program=S
So if anyone could help me fix my problem... please reply or pm me! =D
Old Garden
What a better way to start off a bright, fresh, new year than with an old, busty, worn-down set! My first set of the year (I think) varies out side of my normal style a bit, is a garden (go figure!) thats been slightly...neglected. Full of weeds, and slightly overgrown, it's the perfect garden to adorn that one creepy, abandoned house that every neighborhood seems to have.
The Snow in England
I sent Fredbrenny a GB message earlier, having a moan about the snow..and I mentioned that we hadn't really had a lot..and I wanted to post this pic, because I may have been wrong about that :-D.....
this is a picture of the UK at the moment....which is normally green :-D....as you can see, it's a bit white...:-D
Final Chapter of the Lobster Tale
It came out today!
I know...I know... I've been talking about it a lot these past weeks. It's a jungle out there still... so it's not easy to find. Well it is... if you know where to look, but here is the link! http://www.thesimsresource.com/stories/details/title/Lobster%20Thermidor%20%26%20Autumn%20Salad%20-%205/category/sims3/id/17113/
I really appreciate all your feedback And thanks to all of you who read and comment! I will thank you personally too!
Rustico Dining
The new update is the Rustico Dining with a chair, table, bowl and vases as well preset styles. Grab the set here. I hope you enjoy. :)
No updates..sorry
Hi, I'm sorry about not uploading lately, but I have too much on my mind right now. I'm in the last year of high school, and I hardly have any free time for myself (not to mention the sims) these days. Next month I'm doing entering exams to a university, and so I need to be preparing for them.
Wish me luck!
Ps. if I ever have some spare time this week, I'll try to finish some sims project, but I probably won't have any, so...sorry:(
New Paintings - Black and White
Six New Paintings coming soon. They are all in Black and White. I hope ya'll will like these new paintings. :-)
I Have To Mention This...
Regarding the White Paneled Abode, the exterior is actually white siding rather than paneling. That's a mistake on my part.
First Blog
Ok so this is my new blog. For the past few nights I have been trying to figure out how to make sims useing body shop. Ok so actually I had trouble just trying to get Body Shop to work. But Anywho I made my first sim and I uploaded her to TSR. SO now I am just waiting to see if she is approved. Wish Me LucK
S2HBAA Monthly Building Contests
You may or may not know that each month in the Sims 2 Build A Lot Forum there is a building contest sponsored by S2HBAA (Sims 2 House Builders Addicts Anonymous). Each month there is a theme which you have to build a lot (or more, if you want) for. Anyone is welcome to participate, and it's a lot of fun!
So, if you enjoy building lots for the Sims 2, why not check out the contest and have a go? You can find the contests in the Lots of Challenges and Contests sub-forum.
CAW challenge
I'm currently part of a 'create-a-world' challenge and thought I would post a link to my blog that I'm keeping to document my progress. It's a world based on the show Alias and I have 4 weeks so I'm hoping to have it looking amazing by the time it's complete. I'll be uploading the buildings I make on here too but other than that I'm not sure how much I'll be putting up for the next few days.
Just Submitted another lot...
hopefully it will be approved tomorrow ready for Monday ;-) ...It's a French Farmhouse, the completed version of the one in my last blog post...
..it has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a walled garden with grapes and veggies :-)
I've decorated with a few collectables...added some frogs and snails to the pond...
On another note, it's forecast for more snow here in England...tomorrow, and Monday, so I'm kinda hoping they will have the forecast wrong as I will be stuck at home, snowed in again :-( ..which is ok, but I've already had a snow day and trying to get home from work is a nightmare...so either way is baaaaaaaadddddddd!!!! Also our heating packed in this morning, also bad..managed to get it working again, the overflow pipe had frozen solid...you can see where all the water has overflowed and frozen..very pretty :-D ...anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend :-)

Gothique Living + Sleeping Rooms
I love this new set from the Sims 3 store, Gothique Living + Sleeping Rooms, I purchased it yesterday and it looks so wonderful in game. I never bought anything from the sims 2 store, but if EA keeps churning out these little gems I doubt I will ever buy an expansion pack.
Computer Issues
I have been without a computer for a very long time and we just now got it fixed! I am taking a week vacation so i should be able to get all of my stories updated! Wee!
Hi Every One.
Jan. 8, 2010
I seem to be having a hard time with every button I click in here today. Nothing has been going right, Cornelia's Wish II seems to have disappeared? Will be starting to work on Cornelia's Wish III today hopefully after I give my puppy Harley a bath. She is a Harley Girl not a boy. Will be posting a pic after her bath and trim. Have a good one Cheers! :)
