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

'''House on the Hill'' The Story
I just submitted the second part of my story House on the Hill The Story
Some of the dialogs under the screens are longer then I planned but This is the way I wanted to bring so I couldn't make it shorter then it is now. Me and Spitzmagic put in our best efford to make it as short as possible.
After the story as been published I'll upload some other screens that I couldn't put in the story. one of them is the reason of the reaction of Tommy in the basement of City Hall.......?????????????????????
It should be out soon enjoy!
Coming Soon: Rewritten
I have three new items coming soon.
1. Bubble Gum Blush Set
Stage: Preview Image Making
2. Teeny Bikini Set
Stage: Preview Image Making
3. Smophora Eyebrow Coloring Set (New Idea)
Stage: Creating
The Bubble Gum Blush should come out this week or next week. The Bikinis and Eyebrow Coloring sets will be coming out next week or the week after. (hopefully at the same time)
Update: The Eyebrown Pencils are not working out too well, so that messes up my whole schedule. The Bubble Blush and Teeny Bikinis will be out next week!!!!!
Studying!
Hello everybody who watch!
As of this week I've started my Master studies of Geoinformatics in TKK/Espoo in Finland. I'll be very busy next few years, but I will publish something from time to time, as probably I will not stop building. Currently I'm developing 3 residential lots with issues :) so they are far from ready to be published, but i think they wiill come someday... maybe even all at once.
To be continued!
My self sim and my hubby's

My self sim. She looks pretty much like me, but not the lips. I can't make them right. I'm still trying.

My hubby's self sim. He likes the way the sim came out. And so do I!!!



Peagreen Cottage Finished!
Well, I did it! I finally finished my first TS3 house and uploaded the file this evening. Should be available for download soon!

Ektorp
Hi again!
I tried something new, well it is not actually same with the Ektorp, because I made some differences.For instance, chair arms are different from the original one.Whatever, here is the mini-set (I will add more objects, and shadows of course!) ;
{the flower is the original Maxis content}
{and the game makes objects blurry! i hate that}

Valued at under 16,000 simoleons fully funished with plenty of room to grow, this will be the perfect home for your sims to buy. I hope you all enjoy this new home. I will update my blog when preview images are available to view. Best wishes always, Midnight
Free Download - The Gemima
My house The Gemima will be free to download from August 30, 2009 to September 27, 2009. :)
New Laptop on its Way!
My desktop is a great machine, one that I have upgraded my self for the last eight years, but I've used up all my memory slots and while it plays Games like the Sims 3 and WoW just fine, the poor thing churns away on others.
So incoming laptop for gaming, graphics and report development, the latter being the excuse I used to convince myself the purchase wouldn't be fluff. Now I can carry my work to my clients, instead of <shudder> webex and other shadowing thingies.
I want to thank everyone for downloading my Sims and lots.
WOO HOO!!!!!! 1,139 have downloaded the things I made. That is so cool to me. One girl asked where can you find the houses after downloading it. You can find them in the CC in lots. The Sims you can find them in saved Sims. If you can't find them, make sure you have downloaded them to the right place.Thank so much for all the awesome comments and for downloading my stuff. Have a great week!(((HUGS))) **Wanda**
Future Projects
OK, I see a lot of people downloaded Cara's Body and I guess many of you download them for the Body and not for the cloth.
Maybe some of you downloaded her because you like this type of body, or if you just wanted more diversity in you neigborhood.
Actually I get bored to see all the sims having the same body type. EA gave us the option to make them thin or fat but the body construction was always the same and the diversity was quite limited.
As we want more objects, more clothes, more hairstyles, etc... I think also we should have more body types, so this is what I'm planning to do in the future.
First of all I want make an intermediate size between Game Mesh and Cara, so there will be 3 tipes of busts.

Maybe some curvy hips like Beyonce it will be a good idea, I'm not sure at the moment.

And also for more diversity, I think Pot-Bellied man should be interesting to have him in our town, as an old gardener, a very specific couch potato or whatever we want.
If you have any other suggestion it will be very interesting to hear what others need in their game and maybe in the future all of these will be there.
Part 8 of you only live once...
Is on it's way, I have been away and not had much chance to carry on story.
Watch this space:D
THANKS TO ROSALEENA
Yes, I am back with my stuff.
After a difficult week in which I had some problems with my Photoshop, finally due to Rosaleena´s help, now I can go on working in my clothing projects.
I can´t leave the opportunity of thanking to Rosaleena. THANKS!!!

Screenshots!
Hi all!
Today when I logged in here at TSR and would do my usual stuff, I was very surprised that I had received 9 new comments on my screenshots! : O * shocked * I thought that would never get so many comments, although I do not have so many comments .. I just want to thank everyone and say that it means a lot to me!
Have a nice day!

Color Palettes
Color! What would we do without it?
I'm not going to bore you with a long list of what would happen without color. But first, I'm going to show you how to blend colour.
My forte is probably make-up.. I love creating eyeshadows and eyeliners, then uploading them to TSR. However, I've only uploaded one Eyeshadow at the moment.. it takes me ages to fiddle around photoshop with .dds files and what-not! Then when I finally get Sims 3 up and running (my computers quite slow), I nearly tear my hair out, because something has to go wrong!
Anyway, enough about my rant! Onto the concept of this post. :)
Many people get fustrated with matching colors. I certainly do - but I personally find it quite fun...experimenting with color! So here are some of my favourite colour palettes.
This is pallet #1

I like this set of colors - the first blue is slightly grey, and blends in well with the middle blue. The last blue is quite pale, and evens out the other colors. These colors aren't in any order (like darkest-lightest.etc) just a rough sketch of what I mean.
Pallet #2

Ooh nice sunset colors! Possibly my favourite palette. Again, this isn't in any order.
Pallet #3

Reminds me of toothpaste. I have no idea why? At first, with this palette, I thought that I'd do a combination of grass-green and bottle-green.. but no. I changed mhy mind and decided to go with a minty green and a sage(ish) green. Green, green, green!
Pallet #4

Quite like the blue one, except darker. This palette reminds me of coal.
Hex codes (remember that color A.etc is the color from the top. For example, on pallet #2, colour A would be gold, and color C would be brown)
Pallet #1:
A = #98A3CB
B = #5D6EAD
C = #D0D5E6
Pallet #2:
A = #D1B014
B = #B73939
C = #986B31
Pallet #3:
A = #A9EC74
B = #51BD84
C = #1E7A2E
Pallet #4:
A = #8B88A3
B = #645A73
C = #595959
More coming soon! :)
And this is only a rough sketch haha!
Sims 3 Objects in the new TSR Workshop
Hi folks! I've been testing a closed beta of the new TSR Workshop, and all you object creators are going to love it!
First off, it is possible to clone video game consoles! They work differently to in TS2, and I won't be able to change the controllers (not yet anyway)... but on the other hand, the controllers don't sit on the floor next to the console so this will be less of a big deal than it would have been in TS2.
So what I plan to do is to make new console meshes, inspired by all your favourite real life video game systems, and some decorative controllers which you can place wherever you like. The Sims will still pull the default controller out of nowhere, but let's just pretend that's an incredible "one for all" video game controller for now :D
Pictures of my very first Sims 3 console will be posted on my blog soon... but now for something completely different! I thought I'd test the new object capabilities of the Workshop with the simplest thing I could think of - a dining chair. The latest in game picture is shown to the right, though there's still a bit of tweaking to do to the shading I'm now quite happy with the proportions of the chair. The cushion recolours separately from the wooden part, so you can choose your own cushion fabric and wood grain (or any other materials of course) for the chair.
Plus great news for those of you who were concerned about file sizes (I'm referring to this thread in the forum) - the whole dining chair .Sims3Pack file is 2.10MB, including the new mesh, new multiplier, and new mask file. Hopefully even more complicated files won't be too large :)
I need help submitting objects!!!!!
can anyone please tell me how to get a pic of the object you are submitting?? because i have done everything else but can't figure out how to get a pic of my sim with the clothes on it. Can anyone help me???
thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!
Lalala!
Hello my darlings! I was a little busy but i'm back to the work! I'm working on some stylish pants that i'm missing in the game, i think i'll submit it tomorrow! Cuties, thank you so MUCH, I'm very happy to be a SA and very happy to know you like my stuff!
See ya *o*

50,000+ Downloads!!
Wow. Thanks you guys for downloading my content! It excites me to see that so many people enjoy my creations enough to download them. At the moment, I am in the process of REDOING many of my creations. Why? Because I like them but I have noticed things that I don't like so much about them whether it's the length of a shirt, the category that they were placed in, curddy bumpmaps or so on. I only want my creations to be the best that I can possibly make them. And I am sure you guys all would like the same from me. Once I finish the items that I am redoing, I will post them up for download and take down the old versions. And I will also post a new blog to list the items that have been updated. :]
Anywho, thanks for the 50,000+ downloads you guys! Much love!
Back to school again
Unfortunately it's back to school time tomorrow, so I won't have so much time to work on creating. I was planning to take a bit of a break anyway - just until the new TSR Workshop is releases. I'll still be around TSR though.

Sims 3
Hi all! I've scarecly been around for the tail-end of TS2 - but I'm coming back around for TS3. I've been working in the Workshop Beta yesterday and most of today, although I haven't done much yet (since it's not fully functional, I'm not going to start making new sets and stuff if they won't work!) I've been primarily finding things that don't work yet and breaking the things that do work.
So far, I've made a new mesh and modified an EA mesh (as seen here). Table is new, orchid is modified from EA.

Sims 3 Stuff!
Good news, guys.....
I've been playing my game to death and trying to figure out what to make for TSR as the start of my Sims 3 submissions. Although my plan, ultimately, is to be more of a pattern artist, my first several submissions are going to be lots, since I've been working so hard on trying to make my new sims comfortable right from the start, and I have a LOT of characters to house! Once everyone has a home, I'll have more time to work on patterns to really give my game a new feel.
I have one home that I am ready to upload any day, as well as at least four others I've been playing that need to be tweaked a little bit before I share them with other people. Hopefully, if all goes well and I get through my first attempt at the Sims 3 lot submission process, my first Sims 3 lot will be up in one to two weeks from now. :)
I hope everyone has been enjoying themselves with the Sims 3!
more testing pictures
Heya, back again with some more previews, hope you like..
This chair and table was also made with Workshops Beta test, we are getting there, hopefully all bugs will be fixed soon and then we can finaly add some CC in the game..

More items on their way
I have made
- A Lady Sim (not a celeb, I am still working on that one)
- A child's Halloween T-Shirt (Winnie the Pooh)
- And a little house called Tom Thumb Cottage. (Very small, as in the bed has to be placed in the sitting area. But it's all nicely decorated, and fully furnished.) One thing to note, after taking photos I realised I hadn't put the postbox or the trash can back..so you might have to move them a little closer to the house. Ooops, sorry about that.
second post (d'oh)
Just a short note to thank all the people who have left all those nice comments on submissions and entries in my guestbook. Thank you guys! I realise that I've been on TSR very irregularly and missed out on a lot. That's also why I haven't answered straightaway on some comments. Sorry for that! :) From now on I'll try to be on every week at least and upload something again when I find the time. Thanks again! Hugs, Nawa
Meshes for Sims 3? ....Sure!
Ok due to the fact that everyone is proudly presenting their meshes on their minisites i thought i should give it a try aswell...
I have tried to make a sofa...yes still some glitches etc. but at least i got this thing ingame^^...but trust me it seems to be really time consuming...anyway my words (I am sure) are out of your interest - so here is the sofa!

Sims 3 Objects with TSR Workshop
Currently we have a closed beta test of TSR Workshop running which focuses on object meshes. Yay! And this is the result I've got so far:

There are still quite a few bugs which need to be fixed first until those objects can be uploaded for download. :)
Another House Featured!
I'm pround to say that House Miki 1, which was released today and is a featured creation! I even spotted it on the frontpage, too! Thanks to all of you that have downloaded it so far!
