Dandywine College...any ideas?
Since over 1600 of you have downloaded my Dandywine College has anybody got any ideas they would like to share with me as to how you have decorated this place and what you would use it for? I'm somewhat bedazzled at this number since it was published 8 days ago particularly because it was not at all furnished. When I got 3 in the mail I just starting checking things out without any predetermined plan and about a week later this thing emreged that looked like a college campus.
You see I don't play the sims, yet I'm absolutely enthralled with building their houses. Ipso facto, I'm really in the dark as to how this building can functionally work in live mode. Is it a residence? Is it an apartment? Can you do apartments in 3? Is it a community lot?
It would be really great to hear back from at least a couple of users who have actually integrated Dandywine into game play.
Sims leaving but not arriving to the community lot
I have a strange technical problem and have no idea how to solve it. I have created a new community lot called The Fishtank. This is a restaurant with a lot of underwater feelings! I created it as usual and still my sims can't enter it. When the screen comes up their icons say "arrive" - normally this lasts until the taxi is there. But in this case the taxi wouldn't show up. Townies and other sims that live in the neighborhood are there, using the lot, having fun, but the family in question is uncontrollable. I have tried with other families, and it's all the same. I would hate to throw this lot away, I have worked so much on it!
Here's a picture:
June 29th, Calla Lily Flowers
An arrangement of Calla Lily Flowers in a deco vase for your home. I originally created this object for my Little Princess Bedroom set. What, was I thinking! LOL! Calla lilies are too elegant and sophisticated for a little girl's bedroom. However, it is part of the last Little Princess collection folder. Enjoy!

June 30th, Retro 2-Slice Toaster
A retro toaster (with or without toast) in 6 classic colors. Add a little clutter to your kitchen counter. I created this mini-set nearly a year ago and forgot to release it!
Happy Simming!
New Patterns
Hey everyone, the first of my new patterns have been published with 2 more coming tomorrow. I will be adding several new patterns over the next few days so keep an eye out. I also have a few new lots coming your way, the second manor and an apartment building. (although does not work like the sims 2...boo) I have been toying with a new restaurant, but with limited community lot tools, it does not work correctly...hopefully there will be an expansion to own and operate your own business and then I will get that added as well. Thanks goes out to all who enjoy my work, its because of your feedback that I continue to add new items!
My youngest son's new tattoo
My youngest son graduated from high school this month, and he has always wanted a tattoo. So my husband and I decided to get him one as a gift, for all his hard work, anddetermination. We told him it had to be tasteful, and be easily covered up by his shirt sleeve, as people will sometimes make snap judgements when they first see you, and they do when they see him, he is a big kid, and some people assume the worst, when he is really a sweet and thoughtful person, who wouldn't hesitate to give you the shirt off his back. and you only have one chance to make a good first impression. SO here are some pictures, enjoy, and thanks for reading my blog!
Uploading stories
Well I was finally able to upload a new story thru the wizard and also able to edit and preview before submitting it. After getting two lovely comments I read it over and saw a spelling mistake. I went back and edited it again...saved the changes and for some reason noone can open the story. I can't either and it's not showing up on the main storylist. So...what I did, I re-uploaded the whole story. I hope this works.In the worst case two of the same stories will sit side by side...oh well, better two than none!
I still haven't figured out how to upload a sims3 story. Can anyone help me with that? I would love to do a story on Fred & Sean.
Weird upload
HiYa
Today I put my notebook/laptop on I came to the site of TSR. I notice that my kudos went up not a problem at all. Then I saw that I had 4 uploads I tought what is this then? Yesterday (saterday) I was still waiting on approval for 2 lots. Today they where puplisht I never knew that they where approved by TSR. other wise I already told you about it like I always do. So weird I still doesn't understand it.
The old house on the Hill is coming out june 29th.
Have a lovely day you'll.
Hugs Mike
Sims 3
I just uploaded my first home from Sims 3 it's really hard to build homes and have the creativity that sims 2 had but maybe things will change. Hope you enjoy if it doesn't get rejected
Made my first Sim for TSR-Sims 3
Not usually the one to put normal Sims on TSR, but I thought why not upload Emma. I have just submitted her, so she should be available to download in a couple of days.
I'm trying my hardest to make the cast of Prison Break, which is proving to be more difficult than its worth. Michael Schofield looks great in CAS, but in game he just doesn't look the same. Bagwell, is just plain wrong (Sim wise) he is either too fresh faced..or has too many lines on his face. Oh well...I'm bound to get it right some day :)
Holiday
Hi guys..I am not on the site for a short time..I hope you enjoy my published materials,clothes etc..I will back soon..Best regards..Selen
2 Items Pending
It's been so long since I have uploaded an item, I just hope I have done it right. (lack of sleep doesn't help, but thats what having twins does to you :) )
Ok we have 2 new tops on their way, children's T-Shirts to be exact. One punk style with a skull logo, and the other a nomadic style top with a flower pattern.
I did not disappear - i'm building a big!!!
Hello everybody,
I'm building a new huge house recently. I have not so much time anymore to spend on Sims 3 as I had 10-20 hours per day, but still - enjoy my creations :) i am so glad you like them...
Here are some screenshots of my upcoming BIG house - i've colored it only outside, made inside walls and doors, added fireplaces and stairs.. room plan is done - now left to make them functional... However I had an issue with "unveven terrain", where i did not flatten all the lot before building. Now it may have complications - i'll try to fix/test them out. Anybody who knows something about such issues and can help is welcome!!
Southern Style Country Chalet
This is the second house that I am currently working on for The Sims 3, and would like to show you an early picture of it now:
Please note that the landscaping ins't done in this picture at all, so the final picture won't look exactly the same. I've also made the garage large enough for two cars as well.
First Submission
What a thrill to see my first submission accepted and posted after belonging to TSR for years. Both of my parents died during the last 10 months and their house is on the market now. I wanted to build a house using their floorplan and then I decided to upload it to see if anyone else would enjoy using it. It was a learning process stumbling through the proceedure of submission, but I have enjoyed it so much I think I may do it again. With Sims 3 I find pleasure in the detail work of decorating ....making the textures and colors match on the house and objects and finding just the right things to carry through with a certain theme. I am proud to be a member of this community where so many talented people contribute.
Problem.
hey guys,
so, today's a very sad day for me. Today my desktop harddrive decided to crash on me. No more sims 2, all my cc lost into cyberspace. RIP.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll have to wait to buy either a replacement or a whole new CPU. Unfortunately, this means bad things for "Of Love & Lust" since my characters have been lost. I'm thinking I might just have to re-write the last episodes and use sims 3 as a replacement. I can't say how sad I am about this. I hope I figure something out soon.

Submissions awaiting approval
The last week all my lots went through in 24 hours, from pending to approval to published. But the last two days, no such luck. Perhaps it's just me, or perhaps the people doing this are behind, or maybe the policy has changed, I don't know. At least they havn't been rejected, just still pending. I suppose it's not all bad, when they do get approved there will be a lot of published homes coming out in one go. So far over the last two days I've made 6 homes, probably one more to come today that I am pondering about, so that could turn into 7 houses :)
Thanks to everyone who has commented on my lots so far, I'm really chuffed that so many people are downloading and appreciating my homes! :)
A HOT new surprise for your stressed out sims!
Hey guys I've been a way for sometime now and I'm back to let you know of a pet project I'm working on
Here's what I have so far;
I've managed to create a few new meshes and even new animation strings which can be implemented with the new mesh or Object/s I'm working on. I guess I could let you in on what they are ;)
1st New Mesh/Object is a working Jaccuzzi or Hottub with custom anims such as Jet proppelled water flow/bubbles ! Also I have somehow worked out how to export these from the programs I've downloaded/purchased from such as DAZ (but only subparts)Have to work on the kinks and stuff, I have been messing with Daz3d etc and found a way to export mesh files in Daz and transplant (for lack of a better word) them into sims3.package files!
But there IS a major bug when the sims exit the Hottub it crashes to windows! *Sigh* I might have to rethink this.
So far I've created bubble effects and added a new anim interaction to the Tub (Jaccuzzi) which is makeout (borrowed from the Maekout interaction on Sims) I've tested this ingame and I can say it was quite succesful! Apart from the crash when exiting tub of course!!.
And 2nd New Mesh Will remain a Secret until I've decided whether or Not to release it as a Beta Tester! BE PATIENT! xD
Mostly Animating it's quite easy as all you really have to do is "Borrow" Anims from the Parent directory! Like sitting on a chair etc So now the sims can easily be seated in the 'tub' and I'm thinking about other interactions too! I think you know what I mean! xD
WooHoo Anims might take some time though, have to delve deeper into that! As it wasn't my intention to create them ..yet! xD
I had a look at this amazing creation @ DAZ3D.com and it stunned me..Imagine we could have water so realistic and so vivid in TS3 as with this>> http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewImage=84955
Now Look @ This! 
And THIS is OMG Fantasmic! If only.. If Only! 
This is what I aim to do, I might be limited to only a few bugs but once they all get sorted I plan on uploading this as a Beta Tester for anyone <Man> Brave enough to try! Lol I wonder what crazy thing people will do with this once it's done? Of course I'm limited with what I have ( EA Style) but I can use this as my canvas on which to construct THE ultimate Jaccuzzi for Sims 3! If you understood what I meant good for you! lol I hope this WILL be possible for my sake as well as everyone elses!
IMAGINE! I think that shall be the Make/Model of the Jaccuzzi! YES! "The Imagine Pod" or something like that! XD lol it doesn't need to be Perfect just ~Working~
I think I have some ideas xD
Naughty and Nice flavours shall be available I.E 'XXX Rated' for the Erotic Sim who craves a spanking or two! and 'Pure of Heart Default' for the less Pervy minded..heh
If all goes well by the end of this week (after the weekend for those of us who NEED R&R) I should be able to upload the Beta!
Here's Just some of the programmes I'm using;
3D Studio Max Easy to use/understand from the get go.
Maya 6 I can really get into this one!
Blender (though I prefer Milkshape) It serves it's purpose.
I have a few others But they're not Retail they're made by other 3D Meshers etc
Now I'm off to Finish the Tutorials hopefully learning more in the process and pertaining to my goal of completing the "project".. Phew what a mouthful lol
Later and keep simming

The Sims 3 Competition Lots
I felt it was really important to provide feedback on the properties that people created for the above mentioned competition and i have been looking at all the creations and i have left a comment on each one.
I love looking at our fellow simmers creations and i challenged myself to comment on all the properties submitted. Which i have now completed. It has taken me a few days but i enjoyed viewing them and there were some amazing properties and the skills of some creators amazed me. It's a shame that there could only be 1 winner as i saw loads.
We have some really talented builders here and when i look at the properties it inspires me to carry on.
Everyone at the Sims Resource inspires me in many ways and i thank you for that.
Keep up the fantastic work everyone ! x
Actually...
Actually, you'll have to wait until the items are approved, for one because I removed the featured items pod and two because the items are still pending!
Found out, Submitted
Well, I figured it out and I submitted four clothing items. You'll have to wait and see what they are though. They should show up at some point in Featured Items though.
Freya Rose's Passing
My precious little dog, Freya Rose, passed away in my arms early this morning. She sat on my lap many, many times while I created and played for and with my Sims. When Pets came out I created a pup that looked exactly like her and she was featured in one of my screenshots. I am going to miss her sweet smile more than I can possibly say.
HELL=O

Sims 3, Featured Artists and the TSRAA...
Just a quick update on TSRAA for anyone wondering...
It will be pretty much 'business-as-usual' for TSRAA in Sims 3. The TSRAA check-box still needs to be added to the submission form but otherwise, creators will be able to decide which of their creations can be used in uploaded lots.
Happily, TSR is willing to continue the participation of Featured Artists too. They have placed one small requirement: that we keep back a small amount of content for 6 months so that it really is exclusive to subscribers only, but after that, it too can be set to TSRAA. This only applies to a small amount though (probably some meshes), and so a sizeable amount of a TSRAA-participating FA's work will be TSRAA on release.
As for me, all my patterns are already TSRAA. When a check-box arrives, I'll update them, but do feel free to use them in your uploaded lots in the meantime.
Sims 3 Patterns are coming...!
Recently I had a bit of free time and learned the pattern creations process!
A huge "Thank you" goes to The Tool Crew and to Cedric with his Video Tutorial...
For now 2 patterns are coming but I am sure it will be more soon, so keep your eyes open^^

Rest in peace Michael Jackson
I just wanted to say that. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. Such a great talent gone forever. All three of my children were fans as well as my husband, and of course myself. There will never be another like him. The man influenced so many and his music crossed all countries, ages, and genres. I can't think of another global star today or in the past that can claim such a feat.
My condolences to Michael Jackson’s family and especially his children.
Knot Garden
I am getting addicted to this building nonsense! House #3 offered by Djemstone Realty features a old style knot garden. With all that space in the back the idea just took hold and away it went. The house itself I am ok with, wish I could create a decent siding type with the old half round scallops. Gah how I miss Windkeepers windows in Sims 3.
RIP Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett
I have just heard the shocking news of MJ's passing. He definately left his legacy on pop music and will be known as one of the greatest performers of all time.
Farrah is finally at peace after her epic battle against cancer, the world has lost her shining presence. My thoughts go to Ryan and her son.
May they both rest in peace
Sims 3 Content
Hello everyone! Just wanted to give you an update to let you all know some of my first Sims 3 content is pending approval. In my first release you will see a house and seven new patterns. Hope you all enjoy them!
First TS3 Stuff, More TS2 Stuff Soon
Hey everyone! I hope those of you that have The Sims 3 are enjoying it! Anyways, I plan on submitting my first TS3 creations soon! Both will be lots. However, I have not given up on The Sims 2. I still plan on releasing the next two TS1 for TS2 sets!
And... I have a new story in the works too! It is once again another Extreme Sim Homemakeover, however, this time, it will be the first TS3 episode!
That's all for now!
Happy simming!
