When is a submission a succes is specialy for subbmitters an SA/FA Artist. It's not ment for downloaders Only Artists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you

Computers! :/

Grrrr...computers are a wonderful but frustrating invention!! The video card has stopped working again...for the third time, which causes it to not show any picture on the screen when the computer is turned on. I've had to use the back-up video card for now but will have to get another replacement sent out. The last time this happened, they made us wipe everything, but I won't be doing that again. Took so much time to save everything, then install everything again, and it wasn't even necessary. Well, that's my rant for the day, haha :P I'm just glad I got Part 5 submitted before this happened :D

what am i doing..?

ok, i know i'm a newbie simmer...

so, let's get it out of our systems right now and laugh at me...   ...go ahead, i'll wait...

all done? good... now, let me explain: i've been a good girl and downloaded all my cc via sim2pack button and installed everything. but now i have all these little simmy-pack icons everywhere (and yes i'll admit, they are taking up alot of space on my drive)!

here's my stupid question: can i burn & back-up all my cc onto discs and get rid of those pesky sim2pack icons files??? (don't forget, i've already installed the cc) i think it will free up quite a bit of drive space for new content!  ;o)  haha

plz throw me a comment and let me know... i'll really really appreciate it!

thx ~weezy~

Hello to all, it is a great day today let me tell you why I think so

Today is my 35th Birthday! I was sad at first, but as the day went by I have had alot of my family that I have not heard from call me. I just new that no one would remember that it was my birthday. Any ways thanks to all my real and The Sims Resource family this had been a great day! I hope you all have a great day as well! LOL **Wanda** :o)

NFL Shirts

Hey all, just wanted to let you know the start of the NFL shirts are going to be published tomorrow starting with the AFC West and North, the AFC East and South will follow and then sometime in the next few days the NFC shirts will be ready and released. I hope you all enjoy them!

Weird

I submitted Coastal drive first the puplich date is 6th of august The bistro and Ocean Breeze Drive I submitted them last and there for the puplish dat is 5th of august??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Really weird a well these lots are coming this week. Oh the bistro can look quite exclusive the tables and chairs are made out of marble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that ALL???

Yes, I know what you're thinking: "Is that ALL?"

After submitting something for Sims 3 almost daily, there's been a little hiatus on the submitting front.  Then FINALLY, along comes another set of - wallpapers...

Oh, you say.

One way of looking at this is that my poll says you'd like another wallpaper set, so I could simply be giving more of what you'd like...

But another way of looking at it is that I could actually be working on Something Else...

Not being TOO mean, I shall tell you that it's the latter, but I'm still mean enough NOT to tell you what it is!

Yet.

My First Blog!

 Well, this is my first blog! I'm home sick today....hopefully I haven't got the swine flu! No, just kidding ;) I'm using the time to finish Part 5 of my Learning to Love story, so it should be out tomorrow sometime, hopefully. I don't have much internet usage left for the month so I can't download anything for another week which is quite frustrating! I tend to download quite a lot of stuff for my stories and sims, so it's a challenge to have to stop myself! :D Better get going with this story anyway...

Upcoming Set: New Hair Mesh

This is my first hair mesh for TS3. I made it with Wes Howe's milkshape plug-ins and Delphy's hair making tool DABOOBS. This ofcourse isn't subscriber only, so I hope you all enjoy it!

My Guestbook

Hi Everyone

Recently i have experienced issues with my Guestbook.

Regardless of me, reading the posts in it, it is still currently showing that i have posts in my Guestbook.

I took the decision to delete all entries in my Guestbook (after reading them of course) and it still shows as entries in the book.

Its very frustrating and after posting a Thread on this subject in the Forums, i understand that it isn't only me having this issue.

I have sent a support ticket today for help and we shall see what happens.

I will be keeping a close monitor on my Guestbook and as always will reply to everyone's entry.

Happy Simming Peeps. x

Delays ^^

Hey all, sorry for the delays on Lorelei. I'm currently stuck with a load of schoolwork plus my new moderator's really strict about my progress LOL. Also, I've been active in Gaia - stuck with the aviart D: when I opened a shop there I didn't actually expect to be flooded with requests right away @_@ but eh, the trades have been made.

Not to worry though lovelies, I have two chapters written in advance and I'm just looking for time to shoot them =]

~patience now ^3^

Stories

I managed to get enough kudos points for the free subscription day and went download mad. :D I now have loads of new stuff, hairstyles, clothes, lots and more. The next thing I'm going to save up for is a poll on my profile page.

The four part story isn't really moving at the moment but I may well come back to it. What is moving however is my new legacy family - The Cullinans. I've uploaded the introduction to the stories section and I hope anyone reading this will read that too. It's still just the founder, James Cullinan, at the moment. I think I have enough story for the next part now, I just have to write the words. So it shouldn't be too long before it's online. I don't want to play too far ahead of myself.

I'm playing the legacy according to the rules at www.legacychallenge.com, and so far I have just 2.25 points. I've chosen the Patriarchy/Matriarchy, eXtreme, Presidential Physical Fitness, Free Roaming Ghosts, Storyteller, Gas Line, Noble Composure and True Love handicaps.

Upcoming Creation

So I write this blog becuase I want to. And if only one person reads this ever, I will die happily. If you read this, you are a great person, remember that. 

Okay, so you may have noticed I haven't uploaded much creations. Don't worry, I am actually right now trying to figure out how to submit object creations. Yes, me, I created 8 new recolors that I'm hoping will get up here. I'm actually getting help from someone and hopefully, I'll get my new creations up so people can download it.

Just a little preview to anyone who reads this:

Holiday

I will be on holiday from 4th August until 15th August. I visit Paris and London. :) I really hope it will be amazing. Till then good creation and good game for everybody!

Thank you...

Thank you to everyone who has commented on my lots, really appreciate it! :)

I'm really glad so many liked the Asian Garden. Next up is an Elven Garden, should be available for download in a day or two.

Sims 3 Patterns coming

I will be having more Sims 3 patterns being published on August 4th, I hope you will like them.

Story section/help?!

Hey everybody. Obviously, this blog is about story submission. I've been having some problems and want to know if they're only happening to me before I flip out.(;

Remember around December of 2008 and how stories would end up in submission for two or three days? Well, the second chapter of my story "Time Won't Tell" is going on it's third day of submission. Also, chapters of older stories I've written seem to be disappearing again, much like they did way back in December.

The last Sims 2 story I wrote was chapter two of "Just Like You," a deadbeat story I thought of in the shower (thumbs up for sucky bathroom ideas!). Mind you I've written eight stories using The Sims 3. Apparently, my last story, however, was "Just Like You." So none of my stories written with The Sims 3 have come up on my profile. I tried deleting the pod and then adding it again, but that did nothing other than annoy me. I went on other people's profiles who have written using The Sims 3 and their actual latest story shows on their profile. Did anybody else have this problem? If so, any idea on how to fix it?

I love TSR, but it truly does hate me. So if you can help me out, let me know!

Thanks! xoxo - Jennie.

PS: Is there any way to get your saved games onto another computer? I may be switching computers when my brother gets a new laptop and I still want my simmies!

I just have to think about what to do with it............................

Finished finally the Gustav Klimt wallpaper set

I must admint I am totally unsatisfied with the result. It was just too difficult. Klimt was a genious, so how dare I to imitate any of his work. But I just have this artists series idea in my mind, I must follow through for the sake of following through. Perhaps to prove myself that I am not lazy to finish something that I began - like I normally do. (Too many projects parallely, e.g. 15 books that I started to read and read bits every now and then.)

So let me show you the inspiring pictures and the little details that drove me mad. Basically the "Tree of life" was the drive I used it's colours in the set and small details. The picture's left part is titled "Expectation" and the right part is "Fullfilment". Many times you can find them separately on posters, mugs, T-shirts etc. I am not sure, but it seems the lady on the left is totally jealous but in fact, she is jealous of herself - at a later stage of her own life. I think it is a very complex painting and full of little stories. I used CorelDraw to make the spirals (and actually all other  drawings, like triangles) and used other supplementary software because Corel is unable to export a decent jpg...

Of course Klimt's most famous painting is "The kiss", so I couldn't leave it out. I used the both the man's and the woman's dress pattern for a weird effect - the colours are totally unsync with the rest of the wall. But Klimt was shocking his audience back then, so I am trying to shock myself :D

Here are the small details I really loved here:

And here's what became of it:

NEW SHOES! - UM Wedges

I've finished my first TS3 shoes ... and created my first mesh actually (with TSR workshop)! What a gorgeous feeling! :) Can't wait tomorrow to create some new! I can give you a preview of the shoes, but my creation will be published only in few days ... however ... let me know what you think ... ;) Have a gorgeous night day and enjoy you life.. because you deserve it! UM

UM Wedges

1970s Suburban

I have today finally finished my 1970s suburban project. I started it weeks ago but just couldn't get it to my own satisfaction. The house is a replica of the home I spent my first 25 years in and, as it underwent many changes in those decades (dad was a DIYer of the most prolific sort and mum was always moving the furniture about), I was having difficulty sorting out in my head what it actually looked like in the seventies!

I've settled on what it looked like around 1978 with furnishings, wallpaper, etc, although I have added a few anachronistic touches:

• the pool wouldn't be finished for another year,
• the verandah had been walled in, 
• I think the kitchen was green and brown in that year, but I preferred the original orange.
• dad had already started "building" rooms under the house, and
• we definitely did NOT have a widescreen TV or microwave.

Oh, and the fence was "mission brown" but that just looked ghastly so I've whitewashed it.

I will be uploading this lot to TSR today and hope that you enjoy my trip down memory lane.

Thoughts On Designing New Objects

I was pondering on my loo, one day, as It Is The perfect place to think about things, an object I would love to see made. I was thinking about the medevil days, the days of the castles. Ive looked and grabbed up many objects walls floors and other content off numerous sites that are castle themed but I fail to find the latrine thats was used in the mievel days. Pretty much it looks like a counter with a hole in it, but I'm sure its much more idepth if The though process was lengthened.

So I want to find a castle loo, toilet, latrine, gong hole, what ever its called... and some counter parts like that belonging in kitchens and bathrooms but not funtional as counter just elongated parts to the loo maybe extra places to sit around the old poo hole :P. Lols

Ill rough sketch some thing on paint and upload and I dea some time in the near future.

Let me know if there are any here at TSR or any other free sites.

Thanks For Reading. Please Leave Any Comments you have below!

Upcoming characters for The terminator: The Sarah connor chronicles.

Hello everyone.

It's a few days that I don't have upload new characters from The terminator: the Sarah connor chronicles. And the reason is that whe remove to another house. I have very much work and haven't the time to making new sims.  When I have a little bit time I'm working to Leven Rambin as Riley (John Connor's girlfriend). I think that I can upload her this week. Further I have try to make Mackenzie Smith ( the little Savannah) but it's really difficult to make a real child look a like. The system of Maxis sucks when you make an child or elder sim. They are not much possibillieties. I don't know if I go upload her. Or maybe as a teen. Then I have much more possibillieties. And then I have make Derek Reese too but I waiting for a better hairstyle. When I found it I upload him immediatly. The last one that I going to make from the serie is Stephanie Jacobssen as Jesse flores. (The chinees).  And Naturraly  there not terminator without Arnold Swarzenegger. This is the last one that I Going to make from the terminator Saga. As clincher.

I hope that you enjoy with my terminator creations.

See you soon. soul soul :-)

On Vacation! Hotels Public PC!

Sorry guys I havn't posted a lot in a while its just I've been away from the computer for about 2 weeks and I will put my new set up on the internet as soon as Im home! I didn't bing any computers with me on my trip! Right now I'm on the Hotels public PC! lol Remember as soon as I get home!!! (about 5-6 days!)

August 'Free' Schedule et al

For August I am setting each of my 'floor edge' mesh sets to free for one week at a time.

02 to 09 - Victorian Set

08 to 15 - Basic Cap Set

15 to 22 - Modern Set

23 to 30 - V2 Flat Set

I have 2 new Sims2 sets in the works. One is full of experimentation, and so is taking quite a while. The other is just another fidgety one that takes a lot of going in and out of the game to get the positioning right, but I think I almost have it and so shouldn't be much longer (it is the sloped walls that someone requested).

For Sims3, I am still playing around with clothing while I wait to be able to make Objects. I have another lot almost finished, am just frustrated as usual with the limitations of the game (and can't wait to be able to figure out ways around them ;)  ). Anyways, I'm also playing around with some "Lovingly Destroyed" clothes *lol* that should be finished soon also.

Gossip Girl

since now, you are able to download dresses from Gossip Girl, I was working so long on some of them and now they are online @ a new cathegory... more dresses will follow soon

Banner

Hello,good news i have enogh kudos for a banner a very big thank to topaz and maxi king!But i have no idea for banner:( do you have an idea?let me know!

Greetz Marie :wub:

Oh, wow..

I didn't know I could have a blog!

Ok then.. What have I done today?  I checked my downloads folder for recolours without meshes, but decided to leave them there, in anticipation of obtaining said meshes.  I also checked to see if my first ever submission had been accepted and it HAS!  So chuffed.  I'm part way through another house, and having fun flipping Grandma's bunker too.  (How odd that must sound, here's a link to the thread - http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=372885 )

Sadly I'm out of time at the pc for this morning, I have to clear out some real life junk and get cleaning the spare rooms so the relatives have somewhere to stay when they visit mid-month.

Youtube Laughs *edit*

Well, I personally LOVE it when my friends sent me funny youtube video. So, because everyone on this site has always been very kind to me, and because I think people need to laugh more, I'm posting this with some of my favorite youtube videos. Watch and enjoy!

*All of these are updated, and should work (you can watch them)/be in good quaility (aren't fuzzy or grainy). Sorry about that; I wasn't aware that some of these didn't work when I pasted them into here.

Testing everything

I have for a few days been testing the workshop finally and made some earrings. Here is one of them.

I made these for both male and female and one for the left and one for the right. I have also almost finished the Pacman pattern. The kids have it on their PJs in this shot.

Maybe I can upload it tomorrow

CD

The announcement I've been dying to make!

I'm making Sims 3 objects!!!!  MAKING them!  Me!

Woohoo!!!!!

(1) MAKING is the term used to imply the process of attempt.  SUCCESS is neither claimed nor implied.
(2) By reading the above statements, you implicitly agree that it is perfectly acceptable that resultant objects (should they ever materialise, will be a pile of toot.
(3) The term TOOT can be defined by sole discretion of the authoir of this blog.
(4) The above statements seek an understanding that a successful pile of toot has yet to be visible or usable in the author's game.

Poll Results

Ok - here are the results for my poll about The Sims 3.

Poll Result:

Question: Has sims 3 lived up to your expectations?

Question: What are your favorite features of TS3?

Question: Do you create for TS3?

I'm glad to see that most people are happy with the game! I'll have a new poll on the way soon :)

I Love This Website!!

TSR is so great! I've been on here everyday since I signed up and it never gets boring, the fact that i can upload screenshots, and sign people's guestbook more than once is really awesome! I'm so used to the sims 2 website and forums so coming here is like an upgraded version of that. Kudos is an awesome idea, and the people welcome me and are very friendly. i'm still getting used to some things but i'm improving very quickly. I love the downloads and let's just put it this way, this website is so organized! i LOVE it!

TS3

I was pretty sceptic when they announced TS3, and I've got what I expected. The game is not half as good as TS2 despite all those pretty landscapes and open village. Seriously, I can't even call it a town, it's too tiny and too countryside-ish. Of course, it's just a base game, and with possible expansions it may become better, but I doubt any expantion can change the things I don't like so much.

Sims are not elegant any more. The way they stand, the way they walk, all their motions are fine for a teenager boy, but not for a woman on high heels. By the way, I like that we can choose shoes sepatrately from the outfit, it's one of few improvements I admit. All the romantic interactions do not actually look romantic. Object-based interactions (on a sofa, on a bed) don't even require a high level of a relationship. Sims can woohoo without love. While it is realistic in some way, I don't like it. Long family dinners disappeared. Most of family interactions disappeared. Instead we have tonnes of different topics for chat using the same short animation. Cars are one of the failures. Why couldn't they make a normal animation for getting in/out of a car like in TS2? Filters in the Map mode are useless. I'd prefer seeing my sim's details instead. Collecting becomes boring after you get one collection of everything. It becomes a pile of useless crap in my sim's inventory. Oh, and I hate the fact that for a normal game play I shouldn't leave one family ever. Why the content of their inventory disappears? Why food disappeares from their fridges? That's stupid. Of course, there are always mods to fix such things, but I wonder why the developers made so many mistakes? And don't let me start complaining about the rabbit holes. I hate them as a concept.

What I wrote here is only a small part of negative moments I found in TS3. Well, there are few things I liked. First of all, the painting. It's amazing how many templates are there in the game and how sims customise them. Books are more useful now, and I like the fact that sims learn recipies from books and from each other. The sky looks pretty. Napping on a bed is cute. There should be something else, but I don't remember.

Basically, this game is playable, and I still play it from time to time, but it will never replace TS2 for me.

----------

I wrote this few weeks ago and forgot to publish it. I'm new to TSR blogging. And now I can add my disapproval for the first EP. Quests? Adventures? Martial art? Are we still talking about the good old peeing men simulator?

TS3 Upcoming Cosmetics - UM Victoria LipGloss VS TS3 Pattern - UM Zebra Print

Good morning sweethearts! As you know I started to create for TS3 recently, and it's real fun! With TSR Workshop creating is made really easy! Congrats for those who invented it! However, my past creation was a pattern - UM Zebra print ( in the second preview ), but I decided to focus on and try to make some new makeup, so here it comes UM Victoria LipGloss, with three recolorable palettes and a mixture of gloss 'n' shine texture. This is my first makeup, but I promise to make some new in these days. 

Let me know what do you think! UM

UM Victoria LipGloss

PATTERN - UM Zebra Print

Poll Problem

I'm having a little problem with creating my new poll. I have several questions within the one poll this time and when I click update it takes me to a white page instead of updating my new question/anwser. This has happened to me before and I just deleted the poll and started again but I don't wish to start all over again with this one.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before?

Unavoidably Detained

Hi all. I have been unavoidably detained. I was without internet service for two whole days.

I have been unable to do much of anything.

Now I have some other things in RL that I need to take care of.

But I will get back to you as soon as I can with something new.

Until then, happy simming! And sorry for the delay! :D :D

Challenge

I need a challenge! I think I'm having a block or something cause I just can't think of anything to do. So I'm taking requests for clothing. Objects I can so as long as it's just a recolor of something ( cannot mesh :( ). so somebody please! Tell me what you want or shoot me a pic of something you want and i'll do it. love you guys! -Krysie

New Colors!

Like the colors? It matches my new avatar.
