The Grimmy from the Goth hood
Azrael was the first Grim Reaper I was able to give a makeover. I like him very much and I'd love him to be hooked up with one of my simmies...but who? He likes Lolly very much, but she is married to a nice husband.

He is becoming friends with Cassandra, but I have other plans for her...


I'll probably will find out a nice sim gal for him...
New Mesh coming soon :)
Hello everyone !
Big thanks for many downloads & Comments. I'm sooooooo happy !
Now, I'm making a new mesh for flat long boots ,
and Its texture will be changed to the jockey boots .

I'll be able to post today or tomorrow. check PLZ ;)
Good news - but no sim news, sorry ;-)
Just wanted to let you all know what's happening around here and why I'm not online much: I gave birth to our 3rd child just two weeks ago :-) It's a little absolutely cute and lovable boy! Since today I'm almost able to sit normal again ;-) So might be online a little again but of course there is just SO much "real life" demandements now... (besides our eldest child just started school 3 weeks ago!) and honestly speaking my little boy is much more fascinating than any video game just now ;-)
But of course I'll be back, promise :-)

OMG Today was a rubbish day, Lols you can class this as my public Diary. XD.
Good greef. My school is such a *bleep* hole, My sister is now in the school with me, i don't think it could get any worse i worry for her. She can get really cheeky to most people. And a chav gave her the Evils. I swear if she hit her that chavs would've been thrown out the top window of our double decker school bus. And i couldn't care less if i got thrown off.
My science class is rubbish to we have a Cry Baby for a teacher i mean come on. Miss Weir cried when i was in year 7 (7th grade) And only because a girl named Stacey said, and i Quote "You don't even care about our education. You walk out on us last lesson" Lols and she started crying. Lols the funny thing is she fell over in class today HA!. The silly Cow..
On the up side Mr Valentine rules, and so does Miss Cruckshank. They are so far the nicest teachers i have, And miss Heywood is fairly like in her own world but she is a great teacher aswell, she fits right in with my History class, And i mean that in her hieght whise as well. Lols no offence.
Danielle thinks my little sister is cute, And never fails to stare at her on the bus. But what she doesn't know is under her hair are little tiny DEVIL HORNS! My sister is so sly. She gets away with everything. But you gotta love 'er.
Signed: Beth xoxo
PS. If yall could comment on this, that would be great. TAYO (TankYouh). :D
What i don't get...(among other things)
I just don't get it. You buy a game, you can make a nice kitchen BUT there are no windows that place above the counters, or beneath the cabinets for that matter.. So i decided i would just make some.. Here is a preview of the 2tiled version, but i will also make it in a singletileversion.
Again, this window is also made with Sims3 Workshop BetaTest.


New Items Coming Soon! :)
Hey guys, I have been getting a lot of chances lately to create some more items! I have created 2 lots, and 1 dress. It was my first attempt, so the dress is not the best. It was really hard too. I am still working on all the texturing, because it is confusing... Anyway, be sure to check back frequently in my 'Upcoming Items' box. I am sure there will be something in there that you would like! ;) Anyway, I better get back to simming for all of ya! Catch ya later! :)

Home Restoration
My home is an 1880's Victorian farmhouse and my obsession with damask and flowered Wall coverings comes from this old granny as each layer of her walls are stripped down to the original. Unfortunately many pieces are water damaged due to the shape the roof was in when I purchased her.
While I dig into her history, I hope you enjoy my other finds that I share with you here during my obssessive compulsive need to locate vintage style wall treatments.
New Sims 3 Screenshots Up
Well, hello there guys! I haven't posted here in ages, just want to let you know that I've been sick. On the road to recovery, I have spare time to capture more screenshots from my game. I'll be posting Sims 2 and Sims 3 Screenshots alternately to both TSR Screenshots Archive or my Mini-Site Gallery. Haven't really used the gallery features of my Mini-Site, but I'll be adding more to them so you can browse them easily rather than digging on all the screenshots here in TSR. Alright? ;)
Videos can't be posted here I suppose at this rate yet. All my works are huge and have either high-res or high def quality. Due to the limit here in TSR, my screenshot uploads here are kinda compressed. You, however, are welcome to visit my Flickr Sim Gallery if you prefer to see my works in their original filesizes. :D
Will be uploading a series of screencaps in a few in my gallery. Have a great day everyone. ^^
Stories & Screenshots not in profile menu
Stories and screenshots don't show up in my profile menu. Just to make it clear, the menu that reads Index, Downloads - Sims 3, Galleries, Challenges, Polls, Blog, Guestbook. Does anyone know why this is so? It's nice to have easy access to view, especially for other people that might be visiting my minisite.
After Windows, there comes doors
Ok so i showed you my open window for sims 3 yesterday, today i will show you the door i made.. as does the window, bug need to be filtered out before we can share these meshes, but at least we CAN show you what the look like in game. And as Ricci mentioned on the last Blog, the great thing (one of the) is that once these meshes can be shared, THEY DO ATTACH to your lots. So all these meshes are made as Sims3pack and YES all can be included in your houses..

i have a question
HOW THE FUCK DO I MAKE CUSTOM CONTENT?!?!
also i have downloaded a few items off of this website, and some of them are not showing up in my Sims 2 game... please help me I am very confused..
The school bell is ringing!
Summer vacation is over for me. It is time to back to school. We will go to school tomorrow and after completing the preparations, students will come in September 15. I met with my students. I missed all so much.
I will miss you too. After that, I will not have much free time. As I find time I am here. Bye!
Happy simming all of you! Melinda!
Splish, Splash, Splosh
A waterpark is progressing nicely :) There will be water slides, lakes, pools, beaches, hanging bridges, mountains and lots more! Here are some pics of it so far:

The hanging bridges!

Overview of so far.
Lack of updates
Sorry for the lack of updates this past week and the next. I'm busy with something else and this is taking up most of my time for creating. I'll try to do a little now and then so I can upload 1 or 2 creations in the coming week but I can't promise anything.Take a look in the gallery for screens on a lot in progress.
Have a good week

Ramble Waffle Ramble
Greetings people,
I just felt like rambling so what better place than a blog.
Now my mind has gone completely blank of things to ramble about....
Oh you would not beleive!! How many times I've written Chapter 5 for Escape from Paradise. Somehow every time I write it something happens. I wrote it in the sims game....the game crashed and I lost it. So I re-wrote it on tsr, but didn't realise that if you didn't attach a snapshot then you lose everything you write when you click save. So after a while, of the 'aarrghhh this is so annoying' factor I decided to re-write the chapter in my notebook...on real paper. My logic behind it was my notebook wouldn't crash, and how could you possibly go wrong with writing it on paper? Worst rhetorical question ever! I took my piece of paper and sat down on the computer to type it into tsr...with snapshots this time. But my sim game wasn't working so I couldn't get the snapshots. So I thought, it doesn't matter I'll come back after I've fixed the game. But then I thought well I might lose the bit of paper I wrote it on and thought I should type it into word and then I'll have 2 copies of it. So I did and I saved it. Then thinking I didn't need the piece of paper anymore I scrunched it up and chucked it to my dog. The chapter had caused me soo much time! and I was glad it was written and on the computer. BUT....I went on the computer the next day and the computer was spazzing out. I fixed it and went to retrieve my saved word document and couldn't find it anywhere. Because the computer was spazzing when I 'saved' it, it didn't save properly. So I lost the word document and my paper was now long gone. And that leaves me to where I am now. I'm rather frustrated with the story 'Escape from Paradise' so I really don't know when I'm going to have to patience to try and re-write the chapter again. But hopefully I'll be able to get it out soon. Fingers are crossed.
In the meantime between the other story and creating objects I do in my free time, I've started making a movie! Not a movie movie, but a short series of video clips from the sims 2. Which I shall eventually post up on youtube! TSR seriously needs to have videos on it. So people can publish sim movies! But trying to get myself familiar with the movie making world! Finding new buttons in the sims game that help....like when you're in camera man mode to mark different spots. So you can slide between positions easier....I forget what the button was. Damn...I've really forgotten.
I'm also trying to write a tutorial, for making stories with the sims 2. Tips and what not, also some basic stuff for noobs. So hopefully that'll be done soon too. And fingers crossed it'll be better than my last tutorial. But I did write that one when I was still learning the whole process, and now I have a much broader range of tips and what not.
Anyhoo, hope you all had a happy fathers day!
Adios xox
50.000 Downloads!! :D
50000 download wow i can't believe it, i am very happy that you

Late Update
I'm sorry for the lateness of the new update for my story. I've been really ill and I'm getting dizzy at this very moment. I promise to have the update out by Friday.
Upcoming download
I will try to get my first download up by next week. I'm getting my laptop fixed and thats were the download is saved.
I do have I picture though. I hope you like it. :) It took me FOREVER to make it. No Mesh need. I haven't tested if it
pregnancy safe yet. I'm hoping it is!

Sims 3 Is Taunting Me.
So, I have the colloctors edition of Sims 3 sitting on my desk. A friend ended up with two copies because he moved and so he offered me one, unfortunately my computer is no where near good enough to run it. I'm still using Windows 2000. So as I watch as others are coming up with these awesome new patterns, and playing with all the new toys provided by TSR, I sit here and glare at my computer, wishing it would just upgrade it self. LOL! Oh well.
On other news, I'm pregnant again.. woo. I'm not excatly thrilled about it, we were really trying NOT to have any more kids. The universe however had other plans for us. So, ... yeah. That's why I don't have any new stuff right now, I haven't been feeling well, and I'm working my butt off, as I work in retail, and we're getting into the holiday season. Plus my 19month old demands all my home time. She's cute, but she wears me out!
Anyway, I'll stop babbling now, I hope you all have a great day!

Sims 3 Meshes
I have added a coffeetable and re-mapped, re-designed everything :) I am thinking of making a set with these.There are still a painting, some deco items also.I also want to make a curtain, but did not decide yet :)





I'M IN NEED!!!
its more like a request, really ...
for all you awesome artists out there ... I CHALLENGE YOU!!!
i would absolutely love a bunch of recolors of the 'wall-hanging' surfboard (Maxis mesh) that was included with teen style stuff ... the set was called 'fun in the sun' and the board mesh takes 3 wall blocks ... (obviously, i don't know the first thing about recoloring) but a bunch of different surfboards would be so rad!!! i didn't find much here at TSR either...
so, if you need some cool board ideas, try these websites: billibong, roxy, pacific sun...
also, can anyone out there please tell me how to move an object's placement/height for hanging it anywhere on a wall? it would be cool if i could have 2 or 3 surfboards on the same chunk of wall. the original surfboard hangs really high on the wall (which i don't like) ... is this something i can change??? (i could also use this information for hanging pictures and other objects too!)
i'm super stoked to see what you guys come up with! i can't wait to hear from you!!! thx everybody! 
live in peace ... ~weezy~
NEW POLL
I have published my new Banner, but it was very difficult to decide which one published...
So, I decide to publish a Poll answering your opinion about current Banner. I will Appreciate you participate in it.
Thanks!
And It Begins.....
It's official! As of today, I am officially a Sims 3 content submitter on TSR with the publication of the Riverview Mayor's Abode. This one took a lot of work - since I've been trying to focus on homes that are actually affordable for my Sims in order to avoid cheating in my game as much as possible (goal: most lots under 20,000 simoleans), I haven't made very many lots this big. Took a long time to furnish in comparison to my other Sims 3 lots, but I really wanted to add a lot in downtown Riverview that my Sims could live in without having to do much driving to reach the hot spots, as well as give that area even more personality. I hope you like it!
Away (again!) 5- 12. Sept.
I'm going to be away (I know, again!) this whole week. I'll be studying english in Wales. And I'm going to Paris! And London and Liverpool. How cool is that?!I know, very!!
I'm so happy. It's totally awesome. !
See you in one weeks time, there'll be no new updates from me until then.

Sims 3 Objects Beta Test
Here is my dining set from the beta, not finished yet, working on it still :)

Let's open the windows
Workshop progress is running smoothly, we are now able to create some windows too, so why not make some open windows for Sims3? although not completly finished yet, here is a preview of my open window..

Benchwright Coffee table
Just a quick update - a new mesh that I've made especially for TS3 (that will soon have an entire living room set to match).

Depending on how much time I have, I may convert the set back to TS2 as well once I'm finished with it!
Tutorial Published!
My tutorial has finally been published! It's more of a tiptorial really, hope you all like it! Tell me what you think in my guestbook and comments! :D

1 million downloads!
Wow! I just passed 1 million downloads on my 240 creations! Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it, and I'm so flattered you like the stuff I create.
I am now going to celebrate by playing a little sims 3 ;) And hopefully release my first sims 3 creation in the next few days!
3 New Patterns!
Hey all! I'm back, finally, with more patterns! I have finished these before in the past, but never really bothered to put together the pictures, or submit them. So, I hope you find them to your liking with my collection of 'Tooty Cutie' patterns. Here is a quick preview.

I hope you enjoy, and download these, and I will be using them in a few of my upcoming creations. So make sure you donwload them! ;)
Take care,

Community Lots are NOT CC
Hi Simmers
For the last time
Community lots, Commercial lots & workplaces still works the same as the official lots placed by EA.
Until someone cracks the coding or EA supply us with new ones.
Please read forums, blogs first before asking these questions.
No offense to the ones that asked me about it. I'm glad you did but I got this question a dozen or 2 . therfore this blog, and a tread in forums under Simalot.
We creators could have mentioned it in the download. But to me it seemed clear that it wasn't CC therefore I didn't mentioned it.
Making A Comeback
Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've made anything for the Sims, and a long time since I've been here. I'm glad to be back (made obvious by the huge download spree I just went on!) and super excited about all the new tools for making stuff for The Sims!
That said, I'll be looking them all over and making some new stuff here soon! I'm excited.
OMG
I haven't played the sims for a month : S that's just horrible! since school have started, I've had so many other things going on...
Peagreen Cottage Story
Peagreen Cottage was built in 1917 by Silas Peabody as a wedding present for his beloved bride, Olivia. Silas had the entire house decorated in her favorite color. When she saw the house for the first time, Olivia is said to have exclaimed, “Everyone will be just pea green with envy!” thus giving the house its name. Shortly after Olivia's demise, Silas volunteered as a test subject at Landgraab Industries and was never heard from again.
New Update Coming Soon
I should have the new update out by tomorrow however, I have to go to the doctors first. It should take about an hour and a half. I live near this hospital so it's alright. Once this update is out, I should have the new one out by next week but promises. I'm starting school on Tuesday and that means I'll be really busy.
A vacation...me?!
I will be taking a little vacation here for a bit, but not to worry...have a couple of new lots for you TS3 fans on the way over the next 2 weeks. ;) I will try to get online occasionally, when I am not camping, moose hunting (with a camera...sheesh!), and trying to convince my 4 year old that fishing really ISN'T boring, and poison ivy is NOT a pretty flower. :P Wish me luck, all! LOL!
I know, I know..."What about us TS2 fans, eh? What about us?!" If it makes you feel any better, I also have some bulidings in the works for TS2. What could they be? *Shifty eyes* Well, durn it...you're just going to have to keep watching for them. Hehehe! Rest assured they WILL be expensive, they WILL be fully tested, they will NOT have CC, and they WILL be durn cool. So there!
Ok, see you all if I survive the bears and whatnot. *Waves spastically!*
Love and hugs,
Illiana
