Texas Snow

Well, after much hoopla and panic... 

The cold front hit central Texas and mixed with local rainfall.  The natives are calling it snow. 

Personally, I'd call it a deep frost...

my brocoli is steamed..

so i dont have the World Adventures yet....which angers me in the first place but the thing that really angers me....

MY COMPUTER DOESNT HAVE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF MEMORY FOR THE SIMS 3!!!!!!!

cuz the guys at the computer repair shop thinger SUCK BUTT!!!!

so my house uploading is gonna be postponed i guess...maybe...we'll see...

I'm BLUE not all the way anymore

I have been testplaying a town that didn't have the "Blue Lot Virus" Since my last blog edit. I must say, I could use some sleep now too, because when testing I had to go on playing without stopping and now I'm tired, because I also have a REAL life next to playing Sims. What happened since my testing?

Well I haven't encountered any problems yet. Not even when I let Fred & Barb be in thegame again. The only two things I have done are: First: Removed my Mods Folder and resource.cfg belonging to those mods, completely from the game. I only have used some sims3 packaged files from TSR.

Second: Before and On Vacation I used the SAVE AS option to save the game Doing so creates a new saved game everytime I do this. So far, after sending my test family to Egypt twice, China twice and France once I have 10 Saved games, all with different names (for instance: FredinChina dec 5 or Fred goingChina dec 5) I never used the safe option anymore. I tend to walk out of the room as my game loads back to the neighborhood after a vacation. I am too scared to witness the Blue lotted town again. But sofar everything works. I did loose 5 or 6 Towns though and I hope there will be a patch out someday for fixing that.

OK, I'll keep you posted on how things are with my Blue Lots, until there are no more!

Hi there fellow Simmers!

I have not been uploading recently. No lots, no sims, no stories.... Just some screenshots.

There is a reason for all this. I am having the Blue's.... Not me personally (although that could happen if this state goes on for too long) but for my game. I have the Blue Lot issue and I don't know how to resolve that. I've been on all forums for the last 2 days and I am sorry to say, there are no solutions as of yet. I will keep you posted and come back with FAB designs as soon as my game has recovered of this Blue Lot Flu.

See you soon again Simmers. Of course I will be here on TSR and monitor everything that's going on! I love it too dearly!

Bad things do happen... (most of the time)

Boooo...just as I thought of uploading a lot that looked quite good, I realised that my Sim had taken the furniture with her after she got married to my male Sim. I forgot how I placed the object, not to mention pictures on walls. Sigh....I was planning for a sort of COMEBACK. How dumb and exaggerated can I sound? -__- Anyway, I am working on a few residential lots and an apartment that is probably due by the end of this December?

Man...I promised to provide TSR anytime this year....apparently, I haven't submitted a lot AT ALL. Oh gosh. I better get working on those structures or I can't make the deadline. =O That's when I'll be dead meat. Well, not literally. I've tons of homework to complete too, hopefully I could find time to do that in the midst of my 'COMEBACK'. Oh whatever, I'm starting to sound like a person with a supernova-sized ego.

Well, hope you guys have a happy December, with Christmas around the corner and a new year ahead! =D

TSR Work Shop

I just downloaded the TSR workshop! I am so excited!! I can't wait to get started making my own designs for my sims3 families!! The first think I am going to make is a christmas tree and presents!!

Let there be peace

Christmas is coming and it is time for good will and Peace on Earth. We are so lucky to have TSR. If you look around the internet at other Sims sites none are set up as well as TSR. Nor do they have the beautiful presentations or the fantastic items to download that there are here. A lot of us have been a member since Sims 1 and we have seen a lot of changes, and sorry to say people come and go, but there has always been a closeness among the members. As far as I am concerned TSR puts all other Sim sites to shame. In a time when things in the world are so messed up, please take a step back and appreciate what you have! This includes TSR!

 Merry Christmas!

Words fail me!

Well, words never fail me really - that would be TOO rare an event!  Bit I camr real close to it last night.  REAL close!

It seems the curse of my Sims 2 days is following me to Sims 3 already - the curse of me and Maxis (now EA) making the exact same things.  In joyous harmony, Maxis and I made elevators (theirs worked), conical roofs (theirs were real roofs), oh, and not forgetting trim fances, ventilation shafts, rusty pipes etc.  

You've probably seen a few piccies in my blog of the new castle set shortly headed your way (I mean they're hard to miss, really: I made the pictures the size of giant advertising horadings because I was too lazy to click the crop tool), but now EA has had the same idea!  Not about making screenshots the size of advertising hoardings, but making castle build items!

Yesterday saw this arrive at the EA store. 

I will now insert a little space where you can imagine my reaction - the full, unrelenting wrath of my insane, furious reaction....

But I'm still going ahead with my set.  That way, if you're looking for castle stuff, you can choose which you like best (naturally I will be watching closely)!  I'll be splitting it into three sets, because there are 23 meshes in total, and three smaller sets will let people choose the bits they need.

Advent calendar

This year there'S also a advent calendar on my site :)

I hope you like it

look here

Hurray!

I think I'm finally over the flu...just in time for Texas to be hit with a cold front.  We may actually see snow!  Wow!  (Ok, what passes for snow down here!  LOL)

Love And Hate

Just decided to broadcast the things I love and hate about TSR...

Love:

*The massive amount of talent!

*The stories, the good ones anyway :)

*The oppertunity to share your own work with the world.

*That fact that everyone can have a go, whether you know what you're doing or not and regardless of talent!

*Jennifer_R and Illandrya, my two Aussie chicks :)

* Anyone else who makes time to visit my page and comment on my creations and blogs and vote on my polls. Namely: Martoele, Spitzmagic, FredBrenny, peachybitz, Dragonqueen, Topaz and anyone else who has read all my stories.

Hate:

*People who are discriminative or just here to cause problems.

*Those who don't thank you when downloading, come on people! Where is the love!!??

*The fact that my 50's Pin up pics were rejected for no reason. Why didn't anyone ever get back to me about that?

*That you can't give kudos as a gift to people who need them!

Tomorrow, When The War Began...

I know it's nothing to do with the Sims, but for all you aussies who grew up reading and rereading the Tomorrow series (By John Marsden - for those of you uinfortunate enough not to have read the series) I just thought I would let you know that they are finally making a movie about the series. Personally, I can't wait. Although they have casted an english chick as Corrie. is that not ridiculous??!!??

Memory Lost

Turns out the virus was worse then expected. The computer guy had to clear the entire hard drive of the computer. He tried to save as many files as possible, so there may be hope. As of now I'm waiting, waiting and hoping that not all my files are lost. 

New computer

I got a new computer today so i should have new creations up soon!

Waiting, waiting, waiting.

I've got an Esme Cullen and a Rosalie Hale waiting for approval. Ahead of them is the beauty marks I made for Rosalie's face. They are taking a long time to be published even though approval went through pretty quickly. Not sure why. Maybe they have been inundated with submissions lately :D

<p>

I also have a Tricia Helfer in the works. She's the gorgeous woman who played Number 6 in Battlestar Galactica. I'm going to make Carlisle Cullen next in the twilight batch. I have no idea what I am going to do when I am up to Kristen, I've tried making her a few times and she is SO difficult to capture. Sigh. Oh well. <p>

I've been trying to make an Alice Cooper for adelesimmaker but he's not working out so far. I will keep trying though haha. <p> Hope you are all well. Can't wait til my Rosalie is up, I'm really happy with how she turned out!  xox

The unthinkable, Now alternate reality

Well first Litia had a baby boy named Vincent, the father being her best friend and maid Jonathan.

But then my game crash and that little boy was lost :*(

I was able to play again later when I got over being mad but this time I had Litia marry Jonathan and now he's a police man though he still keeps the house very neat :). They did welcome another baby boy named Wayne.

In regards to the Food files...

To the valued visitors, a few may notice that my food files don't work with the current expansion packs. Your Sims may go to the fridge and open the door but simply stop at that point. Or perhaps they reach the fridge and no options or many appear at all. Unfortunately my food files are not up to date after the Nightlife EP. It's been a very long time since I've set foot into the area of custom food files. I'm pretty certain they do not work with Seasons and beyond simply because of the changes that were made by EA to all foods in general.

At this point I'm not going to promise that I will update the files because of in real life obligations. Yet at the same time I also am not going to say that I won't try to update the files and re-upload the newer files. It's definitely on the horizon to one day be fixed proper. Until then I only recommend my food files for those that have the EP up to the Sims 2 Pets EP. I can't honestly say that the files will work beyond that particular expansion pack.

One last note is to please not modify or 'fix' the files for Sims 2 or to convert the files to Sims 3 and then upload elsewhere. I would like to reserve that right for either my husband or myself.

Thanks all and take care!

New Objects Submited

Hi! I uploaded some objects today! I hope they're aproved soon!

Teleporter (Community);

Body Sculptor (Buyable Version);

Death Flower (Buyable Version);

Food Replicator (Buyable Version).

The Zefryn Mansion - coming soon!

Yes, I know I said weeks and weeks ago that I would be uploading the Zefryn home to TSR. However, shortly after I built the shell of the house I got a promotion at work and that had to take priority and the decorating went by the wayside. I'm now settled into my new role and have a little free time on my hands so I have finished the lot and it is almost ready to share.

I used a lot of custom content to create the screenshots for the story, but I have been careful in making the downloadable lot mostly base game (there are a few free cc items and a little of WA, but no EA store items except the freebies). I do recommend that, if you are a subscriber, you download cyclonesue's colonial windows and use them to replace the base game windows - they look soooo much nicer and there is a lot more variety!

I just need to do some testing to make sure sims can use it, take a couple of screenies and upload to TSR. It will (hopefully) be available for you to use within a few days.

Happy simming!

PS - It's now available for download but for some reason is subscriber only. Sorry guys, not sure why that is.

The last piece: a drawbridge!

And finally (FINALLY) the drawbridge is complete!

Sims walk over it just fine, and of course it's fully recolourable.  Now this last piece is done, I'll put together the screenshots and upload the set.  Expect it to arrive next week.

And as a quick edit for Midnight222 and anyone else wondering about water, it's certainly possible to place the drawbridge on floor tiles if placed over water.  The drawbridge hides the floortiles perfectly...  It's very easy to do (very quick, and no building cheats required either) and I'll post a 'how-to' picture up with the drawbridge when it's released...

Snipe...

On November 20, I had to have my best friend put down.   Snipe, my beloved cat.  She had cancer, and was in pain more and more, so I made the decision to spare her any more.  She was my best friend!  She woke me in the mornings, usually to dang early! lol  She "talked" to me, and would give me hugs and kitty kisses.   But, mostly, she was just always there, beside me.  Dave called her my "shadow"... well, I miss my shadow terribly!  For 10 years she journeyed thru this life with me. Now her journey is done and I will continue thru this life without her.

Dave made a beautiful oak casket for her, and we buried her in her favorite spot in the yard, beside the barn.  I can only believe that she has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and will be waiting for me when my journey ends. 

Snipe... thank you for allowing me to travel this road, however short, with you! I miss you so much! But, when my journey here is done... I WILL meet you at the bridge! I hold you gently in my heart til then!! I love you my softy angel kitty!

A huge Thank you!

Hello simmers!

I wanted to post this earlier, but thought I would wait.

But well, its time to thank everyone who supported me and my work.

I am just pleased that I have over 1000 thanks and 20,000 downloads.

Thanks for everyone who supported me, and thanks for TSR for the SA promotion.

Yours dearly.

LightSide

FREE ITEM FOR DECEMBER

This month you can download one of my favourite makeup creations - Butterfly Makeup Set! Hope you enjoy it.

Butterfly Makeup Set

50, 000 Downloads!!

I really, truly, honestly have to thank everyone who downloads my creations.

 I mean, can you imagine my excitement when I log on today only to find that I've conquered the 50, 000 download mark? 

So I'd like to give an extra big by giving an extra big thannkyou to those people who leave comments, or even take the time to press the little love-heart "thank" button. It meas a lot, it really does. I hope you guys continue to enjoy my creations in the future!

Wow! Can you believe another year is almost over?

It's hard to believe this year is almost gone. I guess it's true what they say that the older you get, the faster time passes. We have had a major blessing this year with the birth of our twin grand babies. My daughter had then in August. A handsome boy and beautiful girl. I can't stop showing them off. So, bear with me. This is Aidan and Aeyth. Aren't they the cutest?

New to TSR

Hello fellow sim3 fans. I am new to TSR and would really like to have in put on how it all works. Did a little downloading of other sim fan uploads. Really great stuff! I really could use some friends and help with on how to upload new designs to the TSR and more information on the full membership.

Nu

Eventually..

I've finally submitted my lot that I've been building and its being published tomorrow...

...i've had a real job finishing it because I've been playing WA so much, and having so much fun that I really couldn't get into finishing it, but there its done now..I've also started a new lot, an egyptian type themed lot

I'm in the process of building a basement(with maybe some secrets in ;-) )....but its coming along slowly because i can't seem to find an easier way of saving apart from going back out of the lot to eygpt, and then going back to the main hood...how tedious that is!! There must be an easier way but with the game occasionally quitting on me for no reason, i've been saving frequently, and not had time to discover it yet (if there IS an easier way)..if you try to save in a WA hood it comes up with a message saying that this is not supported yet (what!!) (so EA get it supported!!)..

And I've also noticed that you can go to a page on the Sims3 website that shows you the new world tool, but nowhere to download it, so hopefully that will be available soon...

Anyway, I've got to go to bed in a minute, its 2:21 in the morning and I have to get up for work in 3 1/2 hours...was going to post this sooner but my internet connection at home has been sporadic to say the least and it took me 3 hours earlier today just to look at TSR stuff..(not happy with internet provider at all!)

Have a great rest of the week :-)

Where I've been...

I wanted to let all of you know that the past week or so has been a nothing short of a nightmare. My cat, Catillac, had to have her tail amputated on Monday, then my dog, Chica, is having urinary problems. On top of that, it's Christmas and this is always a busy time of the year.

I want to assure you that I am still here and I am still creating and working on the Andretti's, but I do want to apologize for the lack in content some of you may be seeing from me. I've got a nice long vacation coming up in about 6 or so days, so expect an overabundance from me during that time.

I appreciate the continued support and care, you all are awesome!

News ~

Hi,

I've just finish my minisite design. I hope you'll like.

Enyoj =)

Its New Upcoming ^^

ADAD : Chapter Three

Hey everyone,

My Third Chapter from ADAD ( Another Day Another Drama ) is finished! I hope you'll like the Chapter.

In my Screenshot gallerie is one screenie of my new Chapter.. maybe you take a look and rate/ comment :)

Nice day, Guslucky!

What i want to do

I want to understand how create clothes with tsr workshop so i am sitting with tutorials and try to make something. But i am not good in it at all :( 

But maybe soon I will submit a cute dress or something ^_^

I Got a Promotion

Yes, I got a promotion and it has affected my time to create and upload them.

I have gone from the Humble Receptionist to the Human Resources Manager... which means not only am I learning a whole lot of stuff... I am still taking on my usual tasks of Asset Management, Quality Management System and Maintain it, HR and Document Control. All this untill we get another Applicant to take one my job as the receptionist.

My Employer Gave me Two Options:

To further my Career I could either take on Finance or HR, naturally I went with HR as I did the tasks already assosiated with HR (Due to the fact that our previous HR manager was only part time because of her Children)

Amongst all the stress:

I have managed to do two sets of a bathing suits and face paints for Children... They are cute... Anyway, due to the fact that I am swomped I havent been able to upload them...  I found that after two weeks people get bored with my downloads, so If I do at least two uploads a month it should even it all out... Wish me Luck on that... Hopefully sometime soon I will start uploading again...

I am getting better:

I am getting so much better at creating plus if I'm not in a rush my screenshots for the downloads look quite good aswell, I like it when they look presentable.. I want to keep improving and getting better, and I want people to bennifit from it before the Faze of Sims2 runs out!!. I wouldnt upload anything that I wouldnt like playing in my sims game

My Creations

Hopefully my absents of creations will come to an end soon. I should hopefully be getting a new computer thurs.

Sims 3 Vanity Fair Collection

Well, I am finally comfortable creating for Sims 3 and it's taking me less time to create custom content for the game. I converted a few Vanity Fair objects and created a few new meshes for Sims 3. Although it is easier for me to just to create brand new meshes for Sims 3--less work! LOL!

Here are a few screen shots of Vanity Fair (Sims 3), however, I still have a couple of objects to tweak before I release the mini-set. The canopy bed is 1 object and there are 3 recolor-able parts, including the bedding. Let me know what you think....

Hugs,

Carolyn

December is here

I know I haven´t been so good at uploading stuff, but I have had so much fun playing WA. On another note, we have entered the best month in the year - yes I love Christmas, really, really a lot. I´ve already started decorating my house and today I made honey cakes (bit like gingerbread I think). Too bad you can´t smell them through the picture because they smells great. They have to lie for a couple of days before they get decorated and they taste like Christmas. The decorating was a bit challenging this year because everything has it´s specific place, but now I have rearrange the whole house so I had to find new places for it.

I have a lot of projects that I hopefully can get done in between everything else, so keep an eye out and enjoy the best month of the year.

3 Sims up for download soon...

Just thought I would update and tell everyone that I put 3 Sims that I have made up for review today and they should appear on 'upcoming items' in the next 24 hours. Will go back to making clothes again over the next few days (probably won't update until next week now), but just gently easing myself back into creating again after having that little break. Keep your eyes peeled for future updates and thank you to everyone to your continuing support and feedback!!!

Taken WA off for now. LOL!

It was giving me too much of a headache trying to work out which mods made the stupid thing freeze and which ones didn't, and it seems to me that the slider hack I use to make more dramatic facial features is the very thing that makes WA freeze up, and I can't LIVE without that! LOL! I'm going to wait until there is a definitive answer to my problems with regards to WA, like a patch or a mod or SOMETHING, so everything works! So, will be playing and creating from the base game for now.

New house

Hey ho :)

At the moment I'm lying in bed with a cold, so I can't go to school and I have time to build.

I think I will upload it this week, when it's finished. But here is a little foretaste of it. Hope you'll like it. :)

And thank you so much for downloading my houses, at least there are over 10.000 downloads. I'm so happy about that.

Hugs, Anne

Hi again , i `m back !!!

Hello everybody , well i just want to say two things

1. I have been pretty busy in my medical career, which fascinates me quite like other things. That is why I could not get absolutely anything at all XDDD jajaja
2. The sgunda thing I should say is that the sims 3 in some way on my computer do not run the way I like it, it is very slow dceir me and I must decide whether or game graphics. We currently do not think you have a new computer for Christmas or XDD jajaja so I'll try to do the best you can get some houses in the sims 3.

At this moment I am in exams, but I have free time so I can do something is in the sims 2 (which I re-install) or sims 3 (which do not suit me very well) Wawwww T_________T. Well I hope to be back here soon and see my fans soon!

Hpp exams! who are in that situation , greetings
