SELECT ARTIST! Hooray!

I'm a Select Artist! Hooray! Tomorrow is my birthday - and this is the best present I could wish for :). I've been working towards this for ages, and its great to join the truly talented team of other SA's here at TSR. Thankyou VERY much to everyone who has downloaded my creations, and especially those of you who left some of the lovely comments I've had the pleasure to read and thank you for.

Thanks guys! :D

CRIME STORY IS BACK

Hi all, wow, it has been since June since I wrote in my blog. A lot has changed, and for me, nothing has changed!

I am not jumping into the Sims 3 pool anytime soon, not that I don't think it looks interesting, but I just got BV and AL, I still have lots to explore in Sims 2 yet. Plus my type of storytelling requires a lot of CC, (historical etc) that just would not translate to Sims 3 as yet. So I am in no rush. Will still be doing stories and objects in Sims 2, am still a SA for Sims 2.

My latest story here at TSR is "Oceans of Time". Have a look!

Also at my blog, I restarted Crime Story, it is five years later, 1969.

CRIME STORY

An introduction and Chapter One are posted, also look down the left hand side for a short summary of the first 11 parts.

Also, will be away the whole month of November.

Cheers all~

I'm very Happy

I am so happy to be a part of the Select Artist team. I'm glad that TSR have seen my so called 'talent', ahaha. In return, I promise to upload beautifull houses and do my best to be a deserving artist. Now that I'm part of the greatest and talented artists of TSR, which is one of the greatest Custom Content site of The Sims around the world, this I will treasure. Thanks TSR for the trust you have given me.

300.000!!

OMG i reached over 300.000 downloads! Thank you so much its great to know that people like my work and want to download it. By the way I got a project coming on soon a Blake Lively sim, I know that the cute blode as been made before but I like her a lot so i decided to make my own version.

Stay tunned

Happy Simming :D

Easier to Find objects with

If you have diffuculties in finding the object you downloaded, When you are in buy mode please use the "sort by function" button instead of "sort by room" button. Some decorative items does not fit the room categories, so it will may not show up in room category you selected.

I hope it helps :)

My first upload for The Sims 3 : )

Hi all,

I have been busy playing The Sims 3 and trying to work out how the game functions.

I have built my first lot. It's called Harvest Place. It has 3 stories and is sat on a lot size of 30 x 30.

The first storey has a very large family Living room with fireplace, good sized Kitchen, spacious Hall and a Bathroom.

The second floor has a very large double bedroom, complete with a fireplace and sofa. The second bedroom is a single childs room. Again this floor has a spacious landing and a bathroom.

The third floor has a very large Master bedroom, complete with fireplace and sofa. This also has an en suite bathroom. There is also a very large Nursery with an attached baby changing room complete with sink, potty etc.

Outside I have created a few arrangements of rocks/plants etc for your plant loving Sims.

I have followed Cyclonesue's Tutorial, to get rid of the red chimney stack. It is not as good as Sue's but it's my first attempt! Lol!

Currently pending in Submissions, so remember to check back or book mark me.

Enjoy!

Re : Sims 3 World Adventures ANOTHER FACTS! [Spoiler]

Hey everyone, I have some another facts about the new expansion pack :

In Egypt you can only walk

In China you can use a bycycle

In France you have a Scooter.

I dont now if you ONLY use those 3 things! Maybe you can use other things, too!

You can become a mummy!

The live longer as normal sims, are fighting better and can curse other people [ to mummys? i dont know]

Okay, that was it. ;)

I like the Scooter a lot, and hope I can use it in the neigbourhood too!

Nice Day, Guslucky

New Sims3 lots

Hi My Fellow Simmers!

Though I still continue playing the Sims2 I have, however, started to build more and more Sims3 lots. After I bought masses of new items from the official Sims3 site building and decorating has become so much more fun.

I have problems with TSR wizard in my Vista so I haven't succeeded to download any of these amazing creations that you guys have created. That is annoying!

Aslo, what it comes to the Sims3 gamepaly itself, I am still struggling... I know so well how to make my Sms2 charachters behave as I want but these new Sims3 "persons" are so much more challenging to handle.. or then I just simply do not know how to play!

I managed to have my first Sims3 baby boy, Raul Alicante, yesterday and that is good news. Maybe with him I'll start to learn more of the new game! He was born jus a day before her mother Raquel Alicante became old... It took so long from her to woohoo with her partner (she was a police) that I almost lost my temper!!! (lol!!)

If you care to see my new lots they are available in the official Sims3 site and you'll find them if you look for Valgrida. I really hope I'll be able to submit in TSR soon, too!

Have a great time with all the simmies - one, two or three! They are so amazing!

The Sim Shack

Hi guys!

 I'd like to take the opportunity to invite all you sim-crazy folk to a little place called the Sim Shack!

It's a sims forum with much to offer, including games, competitions, a few serious discussions and even a couple of downloads. A great place to advertise your work (if your a creator), request something (If you can't be bothered creating...or don't know how) or just sit back and chat to simmers from around the world... and you'll even see a few familliar faces!

 So if you're interested in joining just go to www.thesimshack.com (type into url) and sign up!

Next! Alpine Roofline Windows

Like a few others I'm sure, I had the brilliant idea of rescuing some of my Sims 2 meshes and converting them to Sims 3!  The end result of my endeavours is that I have at least learnt the art of the hollow laugh.  But that's it.  You see: some people were very lazy with their UV mapping, and those very same people now have to start over.  I would do a lot of pointing and laughing at that - if I wasn't one of them!

It pretty much looks like anything I convert WILL have to be made from scratch, so I won't be carrying out masses of conversions wholesale.  Some favourites will come along though, like these Alpine Roofline Windows that have been requested.  Once I've reminded the door who's boss, this set will be released in time for Friday 16th October.

More Chic Tiles To Come

As my recent upload of 'Chic Tiles' was greated with such a warm reception, I've decided to make a whole set. Will include square tiles in about 5 different sizes, plus some rectangular tiles.

Poll result

I have now closed the poll I had and here is the result. First I want to thank you all who have participated in the poll and there and as there have been nearly hundred members voting I'm afraid I will not be able to thank you all in your guestbooks.

One of the things I asked was if I should make clothing and that this point in time I'm not going to do any as I have started object creating.

I will however try to find time to do some of the other types of creations.

Paula Living Indoor and Outdoor

Started today on a new project: Paula Living for indoor and outdoor. Love wicker, so this set is made with wicker. Already finished the chair, loveseat, sofa and coffee/end table (with glass).

Comes in 3 variations.

Hope you all like it!

end of mischevious and ghostly

Birdcage was the last in the mischevious and ghostly series, but it's not over.  Fly away, in Kestrel's perspective, is about kestrel and the problems she faces.  It may be a while before fly away starts, however.

MIA

Hi everyone, just dropping in to let you know that I haven't been around much because I've come down with some sort of the flu. It's not too terribly bad - but it's enough to keep me in bed for the past 4 or 5 days.  Feeling good enough today to the point I can be up and around the house, still going to be a few days before I get back to work on my Wildflowers conversions though.

Holiday themed Properties

I'm just having too much fun with the Halloween package from Ea, I swear...  With the computer down for soooo long, my Sims were feeling a bit neglected.  I've been taking a bit of time to reassure them that they're still loved.  I've even presented them with new decor to prove it!  :) 

Anyway, I promise some of these themed lots will be coming soon!

About me!

Hi! I'm Stan, I'm from the Netherlands.

I was born in the year 1996, I am 13 years old. I am now in the 2nd class in high school.

In my spare time I play soccer, and often sit behind my PC. Tp play, The sims.

This was about me. View my Dowloadpage! And One Thing: KEEP UPLOADING! = D

Homework, doom metal and none working guest books.

Yes, tons and tons of homework, and I'm going to have THREE TESTS this week!
That's tough, but I'm trying to do the best out of it, listening to doom metal, it feels a little bit better then...

I can't comment on ANY guestbooks. I don't know what's wrong, but I hope that it'll get fixed soon!

And one more thing...thank you for caring when I felt ill.

The Girlband, the other story

Hey everyone,

my last [and boring sry] part is out, and the Prolog of my next story will be on tsr tomorrow. I'm sorry for the one that wants a cool end. My next story will have lots of chapters, but I think, between those chapters I can make some parts for the girlband.

And theirs another question, that I want to say : On my little fansite, I make some awards for sims etc. You can read them under Similicous Awards. I need some help, because I want more Special Awards. What do you think are good awards?

And, finally, please vote for the two Award Categories, It would make me really happy :)

Nice day, Guslucky.

New Poll !!

Hi everyone! I have added a poll to my minisite today. With my story more than half over, I have started spending some time building lots again for you to use in your own game. Over the next few months I hope to publish a series of polls to find out exactly what you are looking for in a lot to make sure that what I upload to TSR is useful to its members. 

So, if you are a fan of downloading lots, I'd love to hear your thoughts - whether it's a vote in the poll, a message in my guestbook, or a comment left on one of my creations.

PS - Thank you to all the fans of Alyssa's story; your messages and encouragement have not gone unnoticed and I promise that the story will not suffer because I am doing other things as well. Actually, one of the lots I will be uploading soon is tied to the story in a big way ... so stay tuned.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm so happy that you like my Sims. 10.000 Downloads. For me its a lot.

In the next time, I maybe make some lots, I hope you like them too.

Nice day, Guslucky

Oooh...

It feels like sunday but it's saturday. That should actually be something good, but today it isn't...

Oooh my head...

Fingers Crossed

Welllllll.....I have submitted my first lot and I'm a bit nervous..I hope it is approved and I hope that if it is people will like it!! Anyway I'm off to have tea before i starve, i've only a packet of skips crisps today and I've been sat in front of the computer, give or take the odd ten mins here and there, for 11 hours!

First Objects.

I finally completed my first set. "Royal Modern Living Set"

You can recolour paintings with patterns.

... and candles, only decorative.

College! And computer problems :/

Hey you guys! I been having some computer trobles, and it still isn't ok. I know i haven't upload something in ages but i will try to as soon as i can. I also started college this past week, reaaly exited but it will take some of my time but i will try to still be a TSR artist (even thoght i don't have that title :p)

Thanks a lot for all your support and lovely coments once again and i will try to give back to you with some new sims hopefully soon.

Happy Simming! :)

Sims 3 Breast Tool!

Hey everyone,

I have found a cool tool :D. With this tool you can chance some parts from the breasts.

Visit my site [Similicous.de.tl], there are some screenshots and the link where you can download it!

Nice Day, Guslucky!

Whoops

Been a while since I posted anything here, scary how time just flies by. James is now 18 months old, walking, almost talking with loads of teeth and hair!

I've switched to playing Sims 3 and I have to say I love it, wasn't sure that I was going to like it but I'm loving it so much I've actually uninstalled all my TS2 games and CC - more than 6G of it that I didn't even back up and save somewhere else that's how convinced I am I won't play Sims 2 again.

Am looking forward to World Adventures and the chance of new building tools and extra places to visit and things to do, along with the new objects I'm sure are going to come with the EP.

I've been building in Sims 3 but haven't done lots because I've been so busy actually playing the game, which is a massive change for me as I rarely played TS2 outside of the TSR Challenges.

Yeah, Banner :D

Hai Guys :D

I want to tell you that I have enough Kudos for my Banner ;)

I'm so happy...

I say thank you :D

I'm Going Crazy!!!!

Right now, I'm going mad for accesories, and so I felt that my sims had to have some too. There are some amazing things available, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Hopefully soon I'll upload A LOT of glasses, scarves, jewellry etc.

Reasons Why The English Language is hard to Learn (for those who need a laugh)

This little treatise on the lovely language we share is only for the brave. It was passed down by a linguist, original author unknown. And I thought I should share it with you.Peruse at your leisure, English lovers. Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:

1. The bandage was wound around the wound

2. The farm was used to produce produce

3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse

4. We must polish the Polish furniture

5. He could lead if he would get the lead out

6. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert

7. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present

8. A bass was painted on the head of a bass drum

9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes

10. I did not objects to the objects

11.The insurance was invalid for the invalid

12. THere was a row among the oarsmen about how to row

13. They were too close to the door to close it

14. The buck does funny things when the does are present

15. A seamstress and a sewer fell down the sewer

16. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow

17. The wind was too strong to wind the sail

18. After a number of injections, my jaw got number

19. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests

20. Upon seeing the tear in the painting, I shed a tear.

Let's face it- English is a very crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French Fries in France, Sweet meats are candies, while sweet breads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore it's paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and guineapigs are neither pigs, nor from Guinea. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? One index, two indicies? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends, but not amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegatarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all English speakers should be committed to an assylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat change be the same thing, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by flling it out and in which and allarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible....

More objects - Updated about TSRAA

I've made a tablelamp today and I also made another rug. In the back is a 1 tile coffeetable.

At this moment also, all objects are still made in closed Beta so this means that they are not TSRAA yet.

My objects will be TSRAA for lotbuilders to upload only here at TSR.

Update in the forum about this subject. Read this thread.

60 Bookmarkers!

I'm happy and thankful to say that 60 people out there have bookmarked me. I can't see a list of individual names, so don't know who most of you are - but to all 60... THANKYOU! I really appreciate the support that you're giving me by bookmarking me to keep on creating.

Fall Update

Well, the last time I wrote a blog it was during summer. So I figured I probably should update again. 

Today I published another Twilight outfit, Rosalie's to be exact.  I actually made it along with all the other Twilight stuff, I just forgot to publish it somehow!  I really don't know how that happened.  I had a lot of people ask me to make a Rosalie outfit to go along with the other Cullen outfits.  I i realized that I did, but i kinda forgot about it.  Anyway, it's published now, go check it out.

Tomorrow, I'm really excited about the "Cloud Gazing" set that is getting published.  I just love the colors in the outfits and it reminds me of fall.  But I won't have anyting to log on tomorrow to check them out because I'm leaving the house at 6:30 because I have to be at the school at 7 for a band competition. 

Speaking of that, I'm smack dab in the middle of band competition season.  We've got practice 3-4 times a week, then my sister, who's on color guard, has an extra practice everyweek that I have to wait on her for.  So usually I get home around 6-7 during the week.  And that doesn't leave me a lot of time for sims after I get all my homework done.  I make time though.  However, during the summer I could publish 2 sets a week, now it's good if I can get 1 done.  I'm on fall break right now, so I plan on getting a lot done. 

And, yes, even on fall break we have band practice.  We actually had a football game last night (on a thursday???), then today we have practice at 3-7, then we load the truck for tomorrow's contest.  We're going to Vanderbilt University for our biggest contest of the year.  It's kinda scary because we'll be up against bands that go to Bands of America and that are just freaking amazing.  Then there's us, the little private school band, who everyone underestimates.  Ah, I really hope we beat them so bad. 

Edit: We actually won our divison!  Haha, it was great, we got the cup trophy.

Okay, I'm going to go play sims now.

My Very First Project!

Well, I finally decided to take the leap into uploading! I've published some base-game flipflops that I recategorized as swimwear using the Workshop. It's not a particularly ambitious start, but it's a start nonetheless. This was something that I've been wishing I had in my game for a while now, so I decided to do it myself. I hope other people might find it useful, too. I realized after submitting them that I should have put them all in one set. What's done is done, though, and hopefully people will forgive me for the oversight. ;)

New Sets Coming

Sorry I've been away so long. Meshing is taking a while and I've had an incredibly busy real life lately.

But finally I have something new for you. A new Living Room for Sims 2 will be out on Saturday.

A new painting set for Sims 3 will be out on Saturday as well.

You'll see them in the upcoming pods.

I will try to find some time this weekend to make a new poll since the one that is there is older than old.

Thanks for hanging out with me!

[On a separate note, please do not upload my items to other sites (either as is or recolored) and claim them as your own.
That is a very good way to earn very bad karma!]

Upcoming Lots

With fall here and the holidays coming, I'll be posting several themed lots soon. 

But in the meantime, hope you enjoy what's available.

Weekend 9th-11th October 09

Hey peeps, i wont be around this weekend on TSR but will catch up on Sunday night on my return from Glasgow! Have a nice weekend everyone. :)

Progress on the set

Hi, I've finished the sofa, loveseat and the chair and the coffeetable. There will be 1 original and 2 variations in each package. I also hope to finish this set in the next day or so to be published before the weekend is over.

Sick

Nothing's good right now, my mom is mad at me because my head hurts, and my brother forgot his key at school together with his jacket so he is very sad now.

I'm still depressed and I'm staying home at least til after lunch, because I need to get some rest.
