Set Free
I have set free forever all five sets of cashcraft Vintage Charm walls and floors. Have fun decorating!
Dancing on tables
Ok, with two lots pending approval, I've skipped dancing on tables and jumped on the bar!
Formatting??
I realise from the responses I got in the forums that since TS3 is stil new, I should try and be patient for new meshes to come out. The meshes that are already out are great but I have a problem downloading them. Some of them come in formats such as Winzip or Winrar that I cannot open without special softwares. Therefore i cannot use them in the game. What are downloads made for if you can't use them??
Anyway, I am hoping that I can start seeing some files in easier formats. I know a few people who have complained about the fact that the files are at times impossible to open without softwares.
Apologies Apologies!
Seems like I have been out for a very long time (well, in Sim Standards, a VERY VERY LONG TIME!) Anyways, the semester is just about ending and I am so happy to say that I may as well resume creating in a few days! I have a "little" home that has been put on hold for weeks now, so there... I AM BACK!!!!
Hehe, that's it for now.
Alyosha.
PS. Apologies for thisbeing short,and for my long absence.
Chair finished at least
I have been a bit tired in the last few days but I did finish the chair at least tonight. I had to redo half of it so it has taken longer than I thought. Hopefully I'll get the loveseat finished tomorrow.

These are the variations I have in the package.

Computer Crash!!!!
Well, just when you think it was safe to go back in the recolor waters, my computer decides to go on the fritz. Crap!
I am currently using my laptop but it does not have all the programs for recoloring etc on it and I am going to wait to see if I can fix the other one without much trouble and of course, losing data. Keeping fingers crossed (plus eyes, legs and anything else I can cross.) LOL!
Will post more when I have more info. Will be perusing the forums in the meantime and checking on other stuff.
See Ya Later!
Pre - occupied
While having successfully created some new hairstyles and outfits on the Sims 3, it is currently impossible for me to upload them. My Sims 3 account is on my laptop and seeing as the internet connection on the laptop is broken, I will need to fix the laptop before I can upload any nig work... That will not be soon!
In the works, I am so preoccupied with other things, like getting my band together for practices since we have to record our first demo cd before the end of the year. Life is so stressful at the moment. The holiday project we were given at school is due on the first day of school, which will be in only a week's time... I haven't even started but making more Sims 3 meshes will ease my stress...
Wildflowers - for TS3!
Hi everyone. I've had a lot of people mention to me about how they would love to have my Wildflowers set from TS2 converted to TS3. The set was incredible popular and I recieved a lot of feedback from the TS2 version, so I've decided to go ahead and convert it to TS3 as well now.
So far I have "Wildflowers 1" converted, and updated so the flower color can be changed with the in game design tool. The other 7 meshes from the set will soon follow!

School sucks!
Yup, that's the whole truth,
school really sucks and that we have bad grades in our school isn't because we have many immigrants (we do), it's because of our teachers.
Somehow the teachers on our school doesn't want to teach us anything. They want us to teach them.
We are not able to learn, we shall KNOW everything and if we don't, we get an F.
(There may be some exaggerations...)
YAYEE! Living Death the Way I Want To is finally out...ish...
Well, my new story is awaiting approval, and so is my tutorial, which is taking forever. Now I have a couple other things to say:
1. My other new story, Dreaming of Life came out yesterday! Please read it and hope you like it! You may notice that I'm alittle obsessed with ghosts... :P
2. My friend, Foxi_ivey came over on Sunday and we made a random video, called Fire Burning... You might like it! It will likely be onmjy website once it's open so check back often! :D
Work in progress
It maybe a little slow fom me at the moment, I haven't been to well over the last week and I want to thank everyone for all your comments on my new Sims 3 creations they are very much appreciated I haven't had the time to reply to them all as there is quite a few hundred.... anyway I'm back meshing and I'm trying to create a country feel living room set, here's what I have so far, still a few items required.

Having a bleeping hard time with this!!!
I'm having problems finding out how to work with channels when it comes to Paint Shop Pro X at the moment...keep trying to convert Photoshop tutorials to PSP with my knowledge of the program already and it just ain't having it.
Thinking I may try and find a downloadable trial of Photoshop and try and work with that a bit to get a hang of the Channels thing in general and maybe when I am a bit more clued up, I can try and work that knowledge into Paint Shop Pro. Sigh. All I know is that my brain hurts! LOL!
Sims 3 Laundry Room
Hi folks! Here's the first screenshot of my current project - a laundry room for Sims 3, as requested by 50102. So far I've got a half-made washing machine! This needs a lot of work still, but I hope you might just like it anyway :P
Of course, the washing machine is recolourable so you can have a beautiful paisley washing machine if you so wish!
Also on my to-do list for this set:
- Tumble dryer
- Laundry basket
- Bottles & boxes of laundry detergent, bleach, etc.
- Ironing board (probably both a folded and a standing one)
- Clothes horse
There are a few more items on the list, but as I'd like to get the first version of this set out quite quickly, I'll save some of those for later "add-on" sets.
Have a good week!
New!!!!
The Crazeeness Legacy... My new legacy please check out the trailer I just need 3 more reccomendations so that I can publish the first chapter!!!! Go to this website..... PLEASE!

New picture
Didn't have so much time yesterday to work on the new set but I did a little on the chair and here is an ingame picture of it so you'll see the propotions. My sim is testing it.

Sims 3 Story
I've been thinking about writing a Sims 3 story for awhile now. I did try the game when it first came out but wasn't too impressed with the way the characters looked. I still think they could look better, but now that there's a heap of custom content out, I think I will buy it again. I won't be doing all future stories with Sims 3 but I want to do at least one. It won't be until Learning to Love is finished and my computer gets fixed (again!), but I am planning on doing it. I've even got a story line in mind :-)
Finally!!!
FINALLY! I've worked out how to get the .DDS extension working in Paint Shop Pro X just now...hopefully, all things going well, I should be able to start making textures for tshirts and the like very soon. Wish me luck!!!
Thank you TSR!
A few days ago, TSR honored me as SA. I am very happy. I'd like to share this with everyone.
For this award, I owe a lot to my friends. Thank you very much for your encouraging comments to my creations, your nice messages on my GB and downloading my created. So, thank you for giving me the value.

Today, the World Teachers Day
Today, the World Teachers Day. Congratulations for all teachers.

Story Progression
I don't know how many other players were as disappointed as I was with EA's default story progression. So much potential, so wasted.
My niece was the one who got me hooked on Sims 2 three years ago, she new my love of family heirlooms and my fascination with the game called Creatures and their wacky genetics. So started my obsession with legacy families.
She also talked me into buying and trying Sims 3, then prodded me to actual post my creations for the public consumption. You can blame or credit her for the houses and patterns that I create.
I was excited about the story progression, dropping a couple of premade sims into the town and watching what happened. Well pretty much nothing at all, I was bored quickly. Then I discovered Indie's story progression and fell in love all over again.
Now ISM has been taken over, modifed, converted and glorified by NRaa Industries Twallan at Crazy Town. Twallan's story progression mod is wonderful. Phase two just entered beta testing, while phase one is pretty solid. It is a non core mode so if you are an awsome mod user you won't have to choose.
As I read more about the upcoming expansion, I am still suprised with how EA has ignored developing what we already have and giving us the tools to create our own neighborhoods as originally mentioned upon release of Sims 3.
For me the hunt/quest/collect side of the Sims 3 is of no interest, probably due to World of Warcraft and similar game burnout.
Building and Story progression would be my niche, and I hope more than crypt basements are in our future. While I am humbled by what modders have done with story progression, I feel EA should have taken on that responsibility themselves.
Story Posting Troubles
Due to certain circumstances, my first submission for the first chapter of "All I Need" was rejected. After revamping it and making sure it's "clean" I reposted it (deleted the old one and repost a new one) two days ago.
Seeing new stories being posted at the Storytelling section for the past days mae me wonder if they're taking their time approving mine or there's some sort of posting glitch.
In my head I was all "Geez, if they're gonna reject it then they should just reject it and tell me what's wrong rather than make me wait for days." 'Cause I really can't post up the next one since if it is a glitch then there's a possibility that the next chapter might get posted BEFORE the first one. So I really need to have the first one posted first.
I already PMed a mod - Saoz-san to resubmit it if needed yesterday (If there was a glitch or something other than me having to wait again for a couple more days) so hopefully it should be posted up soon...hopefully.
Until then, there won't be any updates due to the reason above. We really can't let things get mixed up now, ne?
A new season
Don't quite know what to make, clothes for fall or for some other season? I guess I will try to start a poll. I haven't quite figured out how to make the poll pod work, but as others have managed to figure it out, so should I!
My Cullen's House as Featured Item
I would like to thank the TSR for featuring my Cullen's House as one of the featured items. I'm so honored that they appreciated my work. This is the first time my creation was featured and I'm really happy about it. Thanks again and I promise to upload as much great lot as this one.
Blanton Hallway - Complete
Hi everyone ![]()
Update to my last post, I have the entire set finished! It contains the sideboard (really a desk), picture frames, table plant, hanging plant, bench, wicker basket (end table), and coat rack. The coat rack is from my old Hallway Set from TS2, some of you may remember it. In this version, however, the top shelf is not usable. The bottom shelf of the sideboard is not usable either. I may update these items with extra slots once we have that capability.
Special "feature" of this set is the plants - the color of the flowers on the hanging plant and table plant can actually be changed ingame with the design tool, therefore they don't have to be white if you don't want them to. (Unlike any of the EA plants!)

I'm back
It's been awhile since I've written on my blog, but guess what my computer hard drive crashed and I've had to install a new hard drive and then install all software that came with the computer. Luckily I saved all my sim downloads on a flash drive, I'm almost done installing everything, so you can believe that I will be making more walls and floors and patterns for the Sims 2 and Sims 3, I will definately let you all know in my blog when I have uploaded some items. Thanks, Karen
New set
Well, the flowers have to wait a little, some issues with the tiling and blurriness in game. Something the guys have to look at so I have started a new set tonight. Here is a preview of the living chair from The Workshop. It still needs some work on but I wanted you to see it.

All work and no play
Hey everyone.
I hope you enjoyed my 5 new suddenly released parts of Strangetown Chronicles. Thank you everyone who read and commented, it's always important to me. Now I just want you to know that I was ill for almost two weeks so I had more time to play and write. I could allow myself a sort of "vacation". But now the following two weeks will be hard as hell. Seriously. I have some essays, articles to write... And I might be getting a job soon (depends on some articles I will write)... I have so much to do, I don't think I will have time to sleep. That means no sims for that time. Wish me luck, if I survive, the stories will continue...
Update Victorian Lady (2)
I've submited the Victorian Lady, I removed some CC objects small items nothing big, The items will show up on the screens, I didn't take any other screens because I really wanted to upload it and most of all It's how I wanted to be decorated, The items are coffee mugs and reading books and alll it was all CC and avalible here on TSR. So You can always download, If you can't find them but want them just ask me in my GB. I'll tell ya where to look. I will upload the full file on thesims3 soon.......
Enjoy
fourth post - banter and building
Hello out there!
I just wanted to warn you that there's something on the way from me: In the past few days I've been tweaking on some more freetime athletic recolours and they should get approved soon. To the ones I've already done, I've now added three new recolours, a dark-ish blue, a pink, and a yellow one. They worked really well in my game, and I hope you people out there will think that as well :)
Moreover, I went to see the film "Up" today and I thought it was great! The little house is sooo cute! So, just for fun, I tried to build it. It ended up okay, but quite different to the one in the film - no second story (the stairs wouldn't fit) and I painted it red. Apart from that it got a nice garden and a veranda on the back. I really like it so maybe I'll submit it some time, who knows...
Until then, happy simming and good night everyone.

Creations by Me :p
Please feel free to use any of my creations in your lots that you upload to The Sims Resource.
Thank you.
Update Victorian Lady
Hi I'm so stupid I tryed for 3 days to upload the Victorian Lady. I kept kepping the same error, First I thought because TSR had some problems friday that the where still fixing the upload sector. I was wrong it wasn't a problem of TSR that I coudln't upload the house was over 30 MB TSR ir around 18/20 MB for lots to upload stupid of me. I'm downsizing the ot now and I'll submit it when it reaches 18/20 MB
I'm not gonna take new screens of the house so you can see how I decorated it what will be in the lot I can't say I don't know what I will take out. The full version will be soon avalible on TS3 when my main PC has internet again.
Sorry that it took so long

Becoming Featured Artist :-) / Awans na FA :-)
I have to admit that it's one of the biggest surprises in the last few months (my pregnancy was the biggest). I thought many people would leave 2nd generation of the Sims and play only the Sims 3. I was asking myself: "Who would download stuff for old game?". I was thinking about leaving.
But even after the Sims 3 release I still like creating fashion for "old" game. It's still big fun for me, I have some ideas for new sets. I'm still publishing here my stuff. And of course: many of you download my creations (thank you!).
And... one day... I got promotion and became FA.
I'd like to thank all of you: downloaders, uploaders, creators, SAs & FAs, TSR staff. Without you I wouldn't be here.
Barb :-)
P.S. Sorry for any grammar mistakes ;-)

Musze przyznac, ze to jedna z najwiekszych niespodzianek w przeciagu ostatnich kilku miesiecy (moja ciaza jest jednak ta najwieksza). Wydawalo mi sie, ze wielu ludzi opusci 2ga generacje Simow i bedzie grac wylacznie w Simsy 3. Zadawalam sobie pytanie: "Kto zechcialby jeszcze sciagac dodatki do starej gry?". Zastanawialam sie nad odejsciem.
Ale nawet po premierze Simsow 3 lubie tworzyc mode do gry. Nadal sprawia mi to przyhjemnosc, wciaz mam pomysly na nowe kolekcje. Wciaz publikuje tutaj swoje zestawy. I oczywiscie: sporo z Was sciaga moje dodatki (dzieki!).
No i ktoregos dnia... dostalam awans i przyjeto mnie na FA.
Chcialabym podziekowac wszystkim z Was: sciagajacym dodatki, publikujacym, kreatorom, artystom z grupy SA i FA, ekipie TSR. Bez Was nie byloby mnie tutaj.
Specjalne usciski i pozdrowienia dla moich rodakow :-)
Barb :-)
