The Face In The Mirror
Hurray! Chapter Three has been approved! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as the first two chapters. Thanks to all who have taken the time to read, rate and comment on them! I truly appreciate it!
I'm back!
You may have noticed that I've been absent for a while. I do apologise for the extended break in submissions. Now I am back, and I look forward to creating and submitting more lots for you to enjoy! :)
Updated Items
Thankyou to TSR for creating the 'Updated Items' section on the dashboard. What a wonderful tool. :rah: (only shows if you have items that need updating)
Hushed will not be continued.... :/
Yes its true.
You may now start throwing tomatoes at me in disgust.
I'm sorry :(
I wish I could continue it though, but there is so much downloaded content on my Sims 2 game that it is nearly impossible to get on anymore. I could, but lets just say that it would probably take around a half hour to be able to get on, and by that time my inspiration for the story is extinguished. :(
I've heard several people talk about a program that allows you to see all of your content without actually going into the game so you can delete it, and possible, if I can get this, I will restart the series. But until then it is just too much of a hassel(I think I spelled that wrong 0_o)
I do have the sims 3, and I have thought about taking the series over to that, heck I've even tried it a few times, but I just do not have the content nor the things I need to make it the way I want it.
Though I have been toying around with the idea of starting a story on sims 3 as something to pass the time with, Hushed will not be able to be finished until further notice.
I'm sorry :(

'The Arizona' coming to TSR soon!
Hi everyone
To keep you posted on what's happening in my corner, I'm re-cloning the Arizona with the updated Workshop tool and will be uploading the new version on Holy Simoly, then after a few days of testing and feedback, I will update it to TSR shortly after! Hooray!
The dear old Arizona was the first mesh we did, and began it's life here on TSR. It is only fitting that it returns for Sims 3!
Other than that, I'm playing World Adventures any spare moment I can get, and I'm planning on some WA-inspired objects as well as continuing with converting our Sims 2 meshes. Next in line for converting is The Adelle dining chair. :)
Hope you're all having some fabulous adventures! There's so many awesome screenshots here on TSR.

Computer Problem Will Keep Me Away For a While...
I wrote about it here: http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=377251
I can't play Sims 'til this is fixed...but I'll be back ASAP. Pissed that I can't play WA! I just got it a day ago! ARG!
WA Lots in the Base Game?
I've been conducting a little research with the help of a good friend and here are the findings:
Lots that have been built and packaged using the game update will not install into an unpatched base game. You will get an error message that an update is required before the lot can be installed. This is a good thing really as the lot won't install it won't case any problems with your game.
Lots built and packaged with WA installed can be installed into a patched base game and they work just fine. However, any items used that are specific to WA (roof recolours, plants/trees - build/buy items) will be replaced with base game items. Things like fence and stair recolours will make the transition just fine.
Just in case you're not sure of which patch/update I'm referring too it's the game update 1.5/1.6. I'd also strongly recommend the game update 1.7/2.2 also to avoid any game save issues caused by the previous patch.
So yay! WA lots in the base game! woohoo! Kudos to EA and a huge hug to Debra for testing this for me!
The Face in the Mirror
Thank you so much to all who have commented on my second story, The Face in the Mirror. I am truly flattered by the response. Chapter Two has just been approved. I hope you enjoy this installment as much as the first! Again, thank you all!
Lots
Between real life stuff and creating The Face in the Mirror, my lot creation took a long hiatus. That should be rectified soon. I'm currently working on a couple of lots for uploading. Hopefully, they'll be up and ready by the end of the week.
Free Download - The Pierina
My house The Pierina will be free to download from November 25, 2009 to December 23, 2009. :)
SIMposium - Sims 3 World Adventures
As some of you may know, I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend the SIMposium at EA Games in San Francisco on the 29th & 30th of October. I had the most amazing time & I got to meet creators from around the world, as well as the Sims design team. I even got to meet the infamous Steve Bonham & the wonderful Cedric from here at TSR! There were 23 people from 10 countries & I'm proud to say that 3 of us were from Australia.
I got a tour of EA Games, a preview of the new expansion pack & I also got to have a play of the new Sims 3 Create a World Tool!
I was given lots of free time to explore each of the worlds (China, France & Egypt) & I had a lovely time oohing & aahing at all of the amazing new objects & build tools. There are 3 new pagoda style roofs from China, lots of new trees & plants for those who love landscaping & an amazing array of new themed objects for your sims to fill their homes. Exploring the worlds brings you into contact with a huge range of collectables which your sim can display at home, much as they did with Bon Voyage. You can even build & buy holiday homes in each of the worlds!
I spent most of my free time testing out the new Sims 3 Create a World Tool which the design team used to create all of these wonderful new worlds. The program will be made available to everyone to download for free from the Sims 3 website in December - so you too can create your own unique world! I will be posting another blog with more detail on this amazing new program, so stay tuned!
I want to send a huge thank you to Steve Bonham for nominating me to attend the SIMposium & to EA for providing me with an amazing World Adventure which I will never forget.
Love & Hugs to all,
Shaz
change of plan
my saves messed up... DX now all my stories are stopping. Luckily, I hadn't started to be a princess yet, and i will make replacement stories- Cam Triompe is one, Always Will is the other. Also I will make random nonseries comedies, like Stodola Pumpa.(barn pump)
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! May each of you enjoy the blessings of good food, family and friends on this wonderful day of thanksgiving.
Lighthouse Island
Yesterday I have submitted part 10 of Another Point Of View. I hope you will enjoy it. Part 11 will be the finale one, I think that everybody must be fed up with her bad luck and her misbehaviour.
The Blue Screen of Death
Believe it or not, on Friday the 13th my PC got hit by *dum dum duuum* thebluescreenofdeath! Aaargh! I coaxed it back to life, but it finally went belly-up after the weekend - and, you guessed it, just out of warranty :( You can imagine my dismay - 100 Gb of files in limbo! The horror! Not to mention a severed umbilical cord to the net! Luckily I have my laptop, but that poor thing can't take all the slack, so I had to find a solution. Thanks to some (other) nerdy friends who gave me the idea to get a HDD docking base and a pc taken back from the attic, I already recovered the data, but I'm still on slowtime. That attic pc only has a quarter of the memory of the old one (so no Sims3 playing on that one - boohooh!) and I immediately remembered why it went to the attic - it makes more noise than my Dyson! So now I'm left pondering - do I save for a totally new pc or do I upgrade the attic one with an extra fan and memory - if that's at all possible, it is after all already 6 years old, that's practically ancient :P
So now my TSR exploits are put to the back burner (pleh!) as I can't really try everything out properly which makes me grumpy, but hopefully we'll find a solution soon. Again, we'll keep you posted ;)
World Adventure Thoughts
Okay, I've finally decided to start a blog. Not sure how entertaining it will be, but that probably doesn't much matter since my proifile page doesn't get a low of views......but here we are. :)
Stereos: Every time my travleing sim returns home , his stereo is very loud. I enjoy the music, just at a lower volume, so I usually have my stereos set on low. I can now change the stereo to medium, and it get's quieter.....then adjust to low volume and it's fine until he comes home again.
Regfrigerators: Having the same problem as everyone else. There's now absolutely no reason for my single sim to serve a group meal, since it will be spoiled by the next morning. Aggravating!
Cars: I am currently taking my sim to China just as soon as he can recover from his last trip. Almost to the final visa level, I think he's on his 5th trip, hopefully he will be able to buy a home on his next trip. He had a car during his first 3 trips, but didn't take the car with him. It sure does take a while to travel from locations on foot and bicycle. Then he got an adventure which required him to go to France. Before he left, he got a new car (not sure if that matters, but it's either that or a patch made them able to take cars on trips). He took his new car to France and that made traveling so much faster. Also I believe I'm addicted to the moodlet from new car smell.........I use money cheats anyway and I just seem to always have to have a car that is very fast and gives that moodlet. :) Luckily, he took the car on his next trip to China....made traveling so much faster!
I am mostly concentrating on completing the China adventures, but did enjoy the short trip to France. I love tomb exploring, but it does seem like it takes a while to get to that point. After Tom returned from France, I thought I was going to finally get to explore the Temple of the Dragon, but no......I have to reach martial arts level 10 first. Since Tom's at level 7, that is going to take up most of this 8 day vacation. Oh well, he is doing martial arts until he gets fatiqued, then excavating anywhere I can find a place to excavate. :)
Next trip, the Temple of the Dragon!
My Creations
Unfortunitly someone broke into my house last night and stole my computer and world adventures amoung other things, I am very upset and angry and at this time am unable to make any new creations.
Sims 3 WA
Well I have just downloaded WA I was very excited but it took an entire night to download. The next day I tried to play but it took my sim 20 minutes just to walk to base camp. Thank goodness for the TSR forum I read you neede to get rid of the Mod file from outside CC I did that and my game run's like a dream. The only fallback is that all of my CC of hair is gone and I have to use hair from the game or TSR only. Well all I half to say is bask to basics. I am still striving to become a SA at TSR and hopefully that will happen.
Shang Simla second trip is posted.
I have posted more pictures of Skye and Abby's second trip to Shang Simla. They got to stay longer this time and found treasure and gained skills in martial arts. I found the Terra Cotta (sp?) interesting looking. But finally gaining some visa points let Skye buy some good items for camping out in the old tombs. The next adventure up is going to be France. Skye's latest adventure request from one of the Shang Simla Sims is a bottle of Nectar so now they are off to France.
Is Love Enough? The final chapter
Just in case any of you are wondering where my last chapter has disappeared, your guess is as good as mine! It seems to think it is being edited for some bizarre reason.
I have logged the issue with TSR and hopefully it will be available again soon.
New Stories
In celebration of the new expansion pack World Adventures for the Sims 3 I thought I'd submit a few short stories from my self sim's point of view. For those that aren't familiar with the new expansion there are three countries that we're able to send our sim's to to explore, France Egypt and China. France will be the first of my three short stories as that is the only one I've visited so far. So keep a look out for them and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.
Chow for now ;)
New story now online
The first chapter of my newest story is online... It's a bit spooky, but dont worry, no sims were harmed in the making of the story! LOL It's a creepy little tale entitled The Face in the Mirror. I hope y'all enjoy it.
Sims 3 Hair!
Hi everyone! I was recently presented with some information about making hair for TS3, so I decided to give it a go! It's not the best, but I'm quite happy with the way that it turned out for my first Sims 3 Hair! :D The clip is redesignable, and the hair has working highlights/roots/tips etc, and it's fully animated.
New Houses
I have at least 2 more houses coming soon, 1 comes unfurnished and partly furnished. I'm still trying to work my way around the site, so be patient with me if I seem slow. Anyways I'm always looking for idea's and ispiration for my house designs, so if you have any idea's feel free to tell me.
Question/Concern
Has anyone had any problems with their TS3 cc and installing the new EP, World Adventures?
I just recently got the game and I'm hesitant to install it in fear that it will conflict with my CC :(
thanks!!
the new 1.7 update to the Sims 3 game....PLEASE RESPOND!!
so i updated my game the other day and i found it really, REALLY odd that they didnt let us know what we were updating in our game....they usually do and everyday since i did this update i have been checking out the Sims 3 site to see if they say what it was about...and guess what.....NOTHING...no flippin clue....and its steaming my brocoli cuz i wanna know!!! Do any of you guys have a clue what they did????
Re-color Requests
Thanks to Topaz's request I remembered how when I downloaded an item I used to say: 'It would be so great if this would come in blue or red or green' or whatever colour you want. So I decided to make this blog request page where if you like a certain item but you'd like an other colour just post a comment. I'll get back to you as soon as posible telling you if I can accomplish your request as I'm not always able to change the colour (for example changing a blue dress into a white one would really bring some difficulties).
I hope you like my creations :) and I'm expecting all your requests and I'll try to respond to them as soon as possible.
(Mind that sometimes I won't be able to answer right away and even a week may pass but I'll surely get back to you)
HAPPY SIMMING :)
TS3 WA EP
I got the game as soon as it came out, but my computer is now running terribly slow. Curse you TS3! I have to go and pay for more RAM. I was suprised at how cheap the EP was, but I guess it had to be that way because of the amount of money people will have to spend to get their computer totally ready to actually play it!
It is pretty fun though, it just takes me half an hour to actually travel anywhere...
Blogs...
Just wondering if any one here has a personally blog? I am looking for some good ones to start following, since I have so much time on my hands. If not you, then perhaps someone else that you know? I would love it if anyone had any suggestions.
Thanks :)

Paintings
Yesterday I made my first object for Sims 3! Well as you can see it paintings... ^^, I like'em very much... Hope you like them too... A big thank you and a hug goes to Vanilla Sim for her great tutorial on Custom paintings with EA meshes! Thank you...
Slowly Catching Up
Well, slowly but surely I am catching up to the backlog of messages... If you heaven't heard from me yet, you will shortly! Thanks for your patience! ...Zen Hugs to all...DQ
An Open Letter to My Pets! (funny)
I got this in an e-mail, and I thought a few of you lighter-hearted people would enjoy this... ;D
To all cats and dogs:
The dishes with the paw-prints on them are yours. they contain YOUR food. The other dishes are mine and contain MY food. Please note; placing a paw in the middle of my plate does not claim it as your own. Nor do I find it pleasing in the slightest.
The stair-case was NOT designed by NASCAR. Beating me to the bottom is NOT the objective. Tripping me doesn't help much, because I fall faster than you run.
I cannot buy anything larger than a King-size bed. I am very sorry for this. Do not thinkI will continue sleepin gon the couch just to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicualr to eachother, stretched out to the fullest extet possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hang out is nothing but sarcasm.
The propper order is to kiss me, THEN go sniff the other cat or dog's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
For teh last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, bark, try to turn the handle or get your paw under the edge and pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years now. Canine or feline assistance is not needed.
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following note on my door:
To all non-pet-owners who visit and like to complain about other peoples pets:
1. They live here, you don't.
2. If you don't want fur on your clothes, stay of the furniture (hence why they call it FURniture)
3. I like my pets better than I like most people.
4. To you, it is just an animal. To me he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember that in many ways, pets are better than children.
1. They eat less.
2. They don't ask for money all the time.
3. They're easier to train
4. And usually come when they're called.
5. They never ask to drive the car.
6. They don't hang out with drug-using friends,
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. They don't have to buy the latest fashions.
9. They don't need a "gazillion" dollars for college.
And finally, 10. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
