Granny's Updated Farmhouse
Well, oince again I'm having a failure error when trying to upload a property. It's been going on for three days now. I'm trying to get it up for y'all! This is the property featured in seaveral screenshots, containing a cozy conservatory and a basement rec room with windows looking into the swimming pool. Cross your fingers, hopefully I'll be able to get it uploaded soon!
Pools With A View
Well, I've had a couple people inquire how to create pools with windows... Whatdaya think? Should I create a tutorial?
'Apple' returns...
Due to the amount of people who have asked me to continue with Apple's story, I have edited and re submitted part three, and part four should be ready to submit in a few hours. Thanks for the encouragement and support guys! Sorry to scare you for those few hours! Time for lunchie! Kangaroo left over from last night's dinner (if you haven't tried Kanga, you should.

Until tomorrow

Thank you to Missy_Screeter
As most of you may not know. I have had troubles with uploading Sets since the new Sims3 came to TSR. Now I had struggled to upload many of my sets which ended up being uploaded as single items!
Not that many people would mind that much because I believe in my sets some colours are better then others. Having the choice of just one download then three was a bennifit to some, ofcourse the others who prefer the whole set in one download, I am truelly sorry!!
Now, I found I could upload make up in a set, but unfortunately I could not upload clothes, so My last submission, which I think you all shall really love. A Flora Bikini, Leaves and flowers that entwine around your sims female body!
Really Cool, lol
Anyway, Finally I got a reply from Missy_Screeter regarding my submission problem, they helped me through my predicament, and I was suprised with the alternate much easier way of submitting sets. Yay! I finally uploaded successfully my set, Now waiting approval. So time will tell whether the method they supplied had worked.
I will take the time now, to public Thank Missy_Screeter for their imput in helping me move forward in knowledge of TSR and submitting my creations.
Eeeehhhhh!! (I scream) I am so happy that I can finally start submitting - Missy_Screeter, I will keep you posted on whether or not They were approved, so cross fingers everyone! I cant wait to start creating again!
More Hairstyles
Again many people contact me via "comment" and "PM" about some hairstyle I use in my previews.
Usually when I download stuffs for Sims 3, I dedicate about an hour especially for this, I navigate from a link to another and I download lots of hairtyles and objects and I can't remember from where I got all of them, but I will post some that I remember:
Most of the hairstyles I use are from PeggyZone and from RoseSims2. Other hairstyles I tried to post them here,
and if I missed something, I'm sorry but I can't remember all sites from where I download.
Happy simming.
Cakao Bedroom
Hi everyone!
Update on my newest set, my first bedroom for TS3. So far I've only made the bed, I'll update with more pictures as I make more parts of the set!
So Many Questions!
So Many Questions!
The majority of the questions I am asked are about Sims 3.
Do I plan on converting my Sims 2 Victorian creations to Sims 3 packages? I really don’t know at this time, it may not be feasible to convert the files. I am not an expert on Sims 3, but one of the main problems (for me) is that Sims 3 requires two meshes, a low and high polygon model. The game uses the low-polygon model for distance viewing and a few other things. Real life keeps me very busy and I don’t have the time to create low-poly meshes for all of my older creations. I have created over 600 meshes!
Also, some of my Sims 2 creations need to be re-UV mapped to appear at their best in Sims 3. However, the main drawback is that attending college and family commitments limit the amount of free time I have to create for the game.
After five years of creating for Sims 2, I can just about create the “stuff” in my sleep, LOL! So, I will continue to submit Sims 2 creations to TSR, this is stuff I have already made and have not found time to publish. I have downloaded the latest version of TSR Workshop (Sims 3) and I cannot wait to give it a try! A few weeks ago, I was able to create a Sims 3 object and view it in game! Unfortunately, I have to stop and get to work on writing final exam papers for school. I have just about forgotten everything I learned and need to refresh my memory by reviewing a few tutorials. So, it may be a while before I submit Sims 3 stuff, but I am too addicted to creating for the Sims game to give it up now!
Question two is can I recolor your creations? For all of you artists who want to recolor my stuff. YES! You are allowed to recolor ALL of my creations, just be sure to follow the TSR site rules and create your own custom textures. It is always a pleasant surprise to see my creations recolored by another artist. It is not necessary, but it would be nice to receive credit for creating the mesh.
That’s all for Now! Happy Simming!

Alyssa's Story: where to next?
I am overawed by the wonderful comments I have been receiving on Alyssa's story. When I first started this story I hadn't planned for it to become this big or complex. I just started with Alyssa and saw where her life took her. The fact that she fell in love with a man with two almost adult children who then went on to have their own crazy lives was all part of the game. Even a lot of Holly's actions I didn't make up, I just followed where story progression took her - she really did marry Dave Ramsey, make him change his name to Zefryn, got pregnant, then moved in with Malcolm Landgraab, all without me having to lift a finger!
There are only two chapters and an epilogue to go which I have written and need only to take a few more screenies for. I will be posting these within the next week. I am also working on an uploadable version of the Zefryn's new house (which you will see in the next instalment) for you to use in your game if you would like to. I can't upload the lot I'm actually playing in because the front porch has a bad food smell that I simply can NOT get rid of for some reason. It is a carry over from the old house somehow and I have absolutely no explanation for it.
I will be sad to say goodbye to Alyssa and her amazing, crazy family, but I have at least four other stories running around my head that I am dying to tell, so keep an eye out for them shortly after we farewell the Zefryns. I just need to get my hands on World Adventures because it will open up a world (three worlds?) of possibilities for storytelling.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who reads my stories and downloads my creations. I have just this morning hit 25,000 downloads - which may not seem like a lot, but it's a big thrill for me.
Nov. 8th, French Country Kitchen Release!
French Country Kitchen set recolor is scheduled for publication on November 8, 2009. The set recolor was inspired by Jsf Designs ParkLane Panels--they're some of my favorite wall treatments. Check out Judi's ParkLane French they are beautiful!
The French Country Kitchen set features creamy off-white cabinetry with antique bronze knobs and handles, and dark wood countertops. I have also updated the Traditional Inspired Kitchen Fridge; the mesh’s appearance is improved. You may want to re-download the mesh, although it is not required. Several new meshes were created for the French Country Kitchen, they are: a skillet, stock pot, double ovens, plant stand with plant and a tabletop potted plant.
Take Care and Happy Simming,
Carolyn
Laundry Room Finished!
Well as you may have noticed, I finally finished my laundry room! It's set to release tomorrow, Thursday November 5th. I'm not done with it yet though, and I've started to work on a whole load of extra laundry room accessories, such as a plastic laundry basket, piles of folded clothes, messy heaps of clothes, drying racks, and more. If you have any requests or suggestions for the laundry room accessories set please let me know, but for now, enjoy the laundry room!
36.877 Downloads
Thank you Thank you very much to 36.877 downloaders. For downloading my creations. It's really apriciated, it means a lot to me. When I started out in 2009 with my creations for the Sims 2 and later on for the Sims 3 I couldn't have imagine that I would rach this high number of downloads 36.877. I'm glad you all enjoy the lots that I create and I'll be creating much more in the upcoming years.
Soon I'll publish the Goth Residence I'm workin gon the finishing touch as we speak, and the Victorian Mansion, I'm also going to create a new church with the amazing objects of Cyclonesue, The Clockwork she has created is perfect and screems for a new church. When there ar Christmas items availible everything will come in christmas style but it depends if EA or creators here on TSR are working on those items.
Thanks again for the 36.877 downloads.
Hugs Mike

Errors in guestbooks
There's nothing as aggrevating as wanting to give someone a compliment in their guestbook and then getting an error page :P I've had quite a few like that >:( Usually I resort to writing them a personal message as I want them to know what I think of their work, but I would like the rest of TSR to know too I like it ;)
Checking the error messages, I always got this: error 325 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_TOO_BIG): unknown error - which is rather annoying as I haven't got the foggiest what it means.
Now I have to comb TSR to find out where I can report that *sigh*
Coming soon! Fortunella Living...
Hi everybody! I am working on a new set. "Fortunella Living". I saw it in a picture. What do you think, is it OK?
Randomness with uploads
Hey everyone..this isnt really a blog but more so a little "convo". anyways be on the lookout for three new sims chicas to add to your ever growing collections! i just learned today that if you have custom content from TSR involved in your creations that is "pay" or for people who are "subscribers" then all of a sudden they will make your creation only available for subscribers..i think thats pretty much bull but w.e so when she pops up on the "upcoming items" thing on my page just leave a comment (all you unsubscribers) telling me if you like her enough for me to reupload her without that hairstyle that way she will be available to free users. (everything else on her is free items) i say that if i get about 10 requests that she is made free i will reupload her. i just wish that the admin would actually ask ppl if they even want their stuff to be subscriber only instead of just doing it, this has happend to me before only this time a message actually told me they were doing it when i submitted it. the last time i just saw that it was when i went to check on things..enuff with my rambles.. so thanks for reading and have a nice day.
Catching Up
Other than a couple minor things, we're back! Clean-up is always a chore, but it goes quickly with good friends. Thank you, all! Your kind thoughts and ready hands are always a blessing. We truly appreciate it!
So....I'm finally able to start catching up on all the cool new stuff I missed! Hurray!
Doing some requests
If you haven't seen it TSR member paramiti has a long wishlist in her gallery. I have gone through it and decided to take a challenge and make a few items from it. The first I picked was a retro sofa (pic 110) and here is the first drafts of it Picture from Workshop so it's just the beginning of the project.
If it turns out good in the end I'll make a chair to and a coffeetable to match. I also have seen some tablelamps I'll try out.

How about a new poll on the index page???
Just wondered.
Who wants to see a new TSR poll on the index page? All those in favour say "Aye"
The Sims 3
Ok, so I'm really excited! This upcoming Christmas I'm getting a laptop and The Sims 3 and I'm so happy. When I first looked at the sims 3 I thought, the sims are ugly I don't want it and there were a lot of bad reviews on it. And now there's so much CC that I MUST get it. And the scenery is just AMAZING , but of course I'll still play the sims 2. I just can't have both games installed onto my computer because I have so much sims 2 CC that it won't work out so I need the laptop. AnyWHO, I just felt like sharing that because I'm excited. :D
World Adventures - Egypt
And finally to complete the overview of the new neighborhoods, here's Egypt! As you can see I had quite a blast taking pictures because there were so many interesting places to visit and discover. See yourself what marvelous job EA has done with this fantastique World Adventure neighborhood!

Almost there...
We finally got the house dried out and now we're just trying to get things sorted out... Gotta love Mother Nature! Anyway, we should have things back to "normal" soon. Sorry about the delay in my responses, but I'll get back to y'all asap!
The Peninsula
This new home will be availabe on Nov. 4th. For a sneak peek please check out my upcoming items pod. Due to FA content this will be a subscriber only download. I hope you all enjoy!
I want to go exploring
So I have submitted my alter ego - she wil be able to go roaming other places, going there where I wil never be able to go. I just hope she won't get into trouble :D
I wonder what people will think of her outfits. There's been quite a few downloads of my picture for example, but not much feedback - maybe I should give less subtle hints that I want to know what people think of my stuff *ahem*. Well, everyone is an egotripper one way or another :P
My first pattern went out too. Not the one I used for the outfits, I need to track them down again, forgot what I called them - that holey cheese brain of me :D Where's my shovel?
Thank you!
I have found that some guestbooks are impossible to write in and I have reported this to the support, first time over a month ago. I haven't forgotten or not seen, the message just wont stick. So thank you so much for your comments, to those that I haven't been able to respond to.
To LaDy_S, juliana.minillo and VeNuCitY007 in particular.
Thank you

My new collection of lots...
Announcing my first collection of lots to be appearing on TSR! The collection is titled 'Modern Aussie - Beach and Bush'.
The lots are all inspired by the sort of homes you would find in the mountain areas all across the country. It brings modern and traditional styles together faultlessly and all are very affordable.
The homes will range in size so you can upgrade as your family grows. The beauty about these lots is that they lsuit both bush and beach lots, so you don't even have to think about where you should place them!
Each home is named after Australian flora and fauna (as well as inclusions from stories, phrases and slang).
Either empty or partly furnished, you have the freedom to craete your own styles inside. Each lot is fully landscaped with the most Australian appropriate plants included in the game. No cutstom content.
The first two - Coolabah' and 'Matilda' - have just been submitted so keep an eye out if you're interested!

Stephen King's House
Just thought I would let you all know that my first lot has been approved here on TSR. I hope you enjoy it! It is modelled on author, Stephen King's House in Bangor, Maine. It took a good seven hours to complete as I tried to recreate it as perfectly as possible. Keep your eyes out for it, if you're a fan of King or if you're just looking for a lovely, large Victorian home for your Simmies.

Bored...8P
Im bored....

Love goth!
Oh, if I was young, I'd definitely dress in all goth... Love the dramatic style! When I was 15, I started a club for vampires. I think it had three or four members. I dreamt of living in a gothic castle with skeletons, skulls and black candles. Those were the days...! But at least I can play goth in the game... ;-)
25.602 Downloads
I am totally amazed at how many downloaded my lots, my sims got(especially Angelina, Scarlett and my Simself FredBrenny and my sim hubbie Sean Collina...oh...and Barb's Sim hubbie Nita ... hahaha...) oh... and my one time Fred's Natural Lipstick (over 1900 DL)... And then the lots for sims2 too!
I really, really want to say this again: THANK YOU! All the comments and the downloads makes this all so worthwhile! I am working on a lot again, A new lot will be up for download tomorrow and I will submit Chapter 5 of the story Valley of Dreams tonight! Boy....Life is Good!!!
