Don't you just love the Sims 2?
This week our internet went down with the phone lines..
I couldn't go on msn or anything. I was truely not happy. Then I realised, Sims isn't run but internet.. So tada I found a solution to my boredom. Then I had to go shopping.. Gosh Shopping with mum, Tiering. We walked past the game store and Im like, Isnt that Sims 3? So I went in and ask the guy at the counter.. How much? He is like all nerdy, Zits everywhere.. He tells me.. Not out yet mate! ... What? Did he just call me mate , Lemme rewind * adds spit to it * OH HELL NO!
I wipe the spit off my face disgraced at who they let work in those kind of stores, I mean what about Cute people working there not Guys that have ZITS all over there face. I mean I do were glasses and all, But hello? Havent you ever heard of Dolce & Gabanna? Country Road Guys come on.. Who wouldnt want designer clothes. I don't mean to spoil the fun of all the poor people stealing our shit but I dont like it when everything of mine gets stolen from the shops..
We walked into this other store, And This old man comes up and says, Want to come with me little boy? I have candy!.. Im like First of all, Im not little and second of all. Sure I love Candy! He gets all cheery and I just walk off with mum to put the grocerys away in the car and go home.. When we get home I have to help packing away. I am busting to go play the sims already. Hurry mummy I dont have time! My sim is about to give birth >:( She finally lets me off and my Wife on the Sims gave birth to a Beautiful Baby boy who I name Christopher-James.
So lemme hope that my internet doesnt cut out again but if it does i'll be thankful I have the sims 2
to rely on!!
Bye Bye. Xo Joshua.
Mix & Match
While I was taking screenshots for my upcoming set 'Feeling Well Bedding' I couldn't find any matching walls or floors in my catalogue. It annoyed me because I always try to make my set overview images look nice and attractive.
So, during a sleepless night last night I made four walls and three floors per bedding in the set. That's a total of twentyfour walls and eighteen floors for you to mix and match!
I thought fortytwo files in one set would be a bit much so I've divided them up in six sets. Set 1 will correspond with bedding 1, Set 2 with bedding 2, etc. etc. I'll upload them later today.
I'm also planning on making a 'Feeling Well Bedding part two' with different colors and matching walls and floors, but I'll wait until the first set has been released.
Now I'm going to catch up on some sleep first!

Happy Easter!
Well, spring has sprung. My Daffodils are in full bloom in time for Easter Sunday Holiday. As you all know, this is one of the clues for the TSR Competition - Hunting for eggs. whoops, I mean treasure chests here at TSR - in the Themes.
Good Luck in the treasure hunt & God Bless everyone on this Easter Sunday, 2009.
Which Story Idea Next?
Well I'm thinking of making a new story soon but dont know what exactly what kind.Should I focus the future stories of "Life of Elisa" or one about her son Alex or a new family and story? I would love to hear some opions about this from someone on what they think,dont be shy now lol n.n
Creativity low
Well basically I have tons of idea but am having a heap of trouble actually accomplishing much. :confused: I know it is mostly due to the fact that I don't feel all that great I know has a whole lot to do with it. :( And that really sucks because even though the things I make are not that popular I still enjoy making & sharing them. ;) So even if a lot I make only gets a dozen downloads that's till "OK" with me........a dozen people liked it & are enjoying it in their game. :cool: But me is creative and "bubbly". :D So my not knowing what to do or not feeling like making anything.......isn't.......me. :confused: Got plenty of meds......but if I'm medicated enough to not hurt I'm kinda loopy & only operating at "1/2 pwer". So for those Matt & Jenny fans that have not given up on there being more chapters I thank you. :wub: For those who downloaded the pets & lots I've made........it made my day knowing that they're liked......even 1 or 2 people is still just as special. :)
And as for the owchies.......well I'm just trying to keep the mind busy & hope it eases up. :cool:
New walls and floor sets coming soon
For all my fellow simmers, I have just uploaded more wall and floor sets, I hope you will like them, I will let everyone know when they will be getting published. Have a nice Easter everyone, and happy simming and downloading. Thanks (mskitty)
More Downtime Ended!
Despite my good intentions I've had another long break from The Sims and TSR. Having moved to Mid-Wales, a more rural and slower-paced part of the UK, I was concentrating on recovery from my long term illness. After feeling much better I moved again, to Wiltshire, where I grew up!
I've now started my own business providing computer support and website design, and although I don't really have much spare time I was determined to get back to The Sims, so here I am!
I also very keen to get back to creating and contributing to the community here, so I hope soon to publish some houses I built for TS1, as promised some time ago!
WOW! 750,000 downloads!
Just a quickie blog post to say a HUGE thank you to all my downloaders! Just a minute ago I reached 750,000 downloads!! Incredible!! And a milestone i never thought possible when i began to recolor back in October 2008. Gee it hasnt been that long - just 5 months or so! 3/4 of a million!! WOW! WOW! WOW!
None of it would be possible without all of you who download! AGAIN THANK YOU!!!!! You inspire me to keep creating! And even with SIMS 3 coming soon - i dont intend to stop creating for Sims2 - gee I just am getting started!
This just totally made my day!! <* I am blushing and grinning ear to ear like a fool ..LOL*>
Big cyber hugs and high fives to all......

On the horizon
On the horizon are 2 new livingroom sets by Angelamveliza (Her Safari livingrm and her Modern Splendor set) and A Jope bedroom 9 recolor. I am uploading those today - hopefully they will get approved quickly! I have some beddings ( from almost 3 weeks back that kept getting rejected) to put into sets for upload. I have some half finsihed sets ( room sets) I would like to finish this weekend and upload. I downloaded a skad of Sim_man123 meshes and I am just itching to recolor some of those!! I have so MANY ideas in my head and not enough time to get it all created!!
Hurray! I have a nice long weekend ( that will surely go too fast for my liking!) to accomplish all the recoloring stuff i aspire to do.. as well as all teh RL stuff I NEED to get done- such as clean the inside of my van (what a wreck), clean the dickens out of my house and also my back yard!! Go thru and get clothes for donations ( as my kids all have way too many clothes they dont wear and are taking up space) - me too - i am guilty of the same and need to get donation bags together.
its sunny and mild this weekend here - so yipee! Great weather for outdoor work!
What's Going On
I'm continuing with the Kitchen and Bath kitchen items. A few more left to go.
Also with the Living with Floppy Cushions living rooms.
In my spare time, I'm working on a build set for you. It's a re-make of an old set posted at another site, but that site closed, so I will offer them here now. You might see other sets you've seen before from that site as well.
I also have a request for nursery items in my 20 (now 22) colors. Any suggestions you may have as to how to approach this would be appreciated. I have several ideas from using Maxis meshes to using custom ones to having everything plain or plaid or with designs or with prints. Let me know what you think about the nursery things and I'll put your thoughts together with mine and see what we come up with. The more it is something you would enjoy, the happier I'll be. I must confess to a subtantial lack of babies in my own game. My game seems to be filled with adults for the most part. Some of them wild and crazy and some of them would make a librarian seem exciting. But there is the occasional baby and they must be cared for in style. So let me know what you think and I'll whip something up!
Thanks!

500.000 downloads!
A big thank you to all of you who have been downloading my stuff. Every download, comment and thankyou is really appreciated!
Speaking of comments, I know I haven't responded to some these past few months, that doesn't mean I didn't read or didn't like them. My apologies!
Happy Easter!
Below a preview of my newest set (currently pending)
Workin on the ground
Makes it easy up above. Or so says Shriekback. But I have a bit of work on at the moment (which is great) and I find the sims too much of a distraction. So I will be updating less frequently for the next month or so while I get myself together and finish off this work that is piling up around me.
Stay well in my absence and peace!
Free Download - The Oriana
My house The Oriana will be free to download from April 7, 2009 to May 5, 2009. :)
Victorian Easter
Hi all,
My new wallpaper that is pending in submissions is called Victorian Easter. I absolutely love Victorian scraps and decopage. This is the Theme that inspired me for the wallpaper. I have also recoloured some Maxis carpets to match the wallpaper, available in Yolk, Duck egg and Pink.
I am hoping it will be released for Easter weekend sometime.
I hope you all like it.

Happy Easter
Hello everyone! I just want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. May you be blessed with good food, good friends, family and lots of love on this wonderful day. Hugs to all, Judy.
Red, White, and Blue Dress Set
I decided to stop at 5 dresses--I should have kept going because I think I need a bit more blue in the set--there is way more red and white than blue. Maybe later on I'll make a set of nothing but blue dresses. :D I may or may not do a furniture set next-that is something I haven't decided! Anyway, I've made a preview screenshot of the dresses, and since it is late--I'll wait till tomorrow to upload them, which will mean they will probably be published sometime late next week. :D
Happy Easter!
Happy easter everyone! Just posting to say happy easter and the fact that I will be going away fof the next four days so will have to pause my simming for a while! The lodge from the ski set is now finished, and I am half way through one of the vacation homes.
Happy easter again!

Another Download Milestone!
It's been only four days since I made my last blog post about downloads - 3000 on the 4th of april. Im so glad to say that today I reached 4000! This is another massive milestone for me - I hardly even expected any more than a few hundred at the beggining. Thankyou SOOOOO much to everyone who has downloaded one of my creations - i quite literally couldnt have done it without any of you! So how many downloads am I aiming for now... 5000... 10,000... 100,000? Who knows what lies ahead. I know that as long as I play sims, I will be here on the sims resource, uploading, downloading and everything in between. Again thankyou to everyone who has downloaded from me - and keep a lookout for more to come!
first blog entry
Well I desided to start a blog. Hope to put more up soon but for right now not moch is happening.
Thinking about putting more animals up. What do you think?
BLOG POST - In desfense of TSR
Just wanted to let you know I had another TSR hater make a comment on my In defense of TSR blog post so I have officially closed comments on that blog and am not allowing any on this one either.
I have said my piece on the whole thing and I dont want to hear about it any more - neither do I want any one leaving comments in my GB,blog posts or on my creations regarding that matter that are negative or against TSR. If you are not a friend to TSR then leave! Anyone who does post negative comments on my things or page in anyway will be reported to staff.. in order that they may be banned from the site.
Enuff said.
Please be patient with me...
As some of you may have noticed lately with my creations - i havent had as much coming out . Part of this is because Girls from Mars ( submissions manager) was away for two weeks so i had a tonne of creations sitting..sitting..sitting in Pending for most of the time ( well a few got published and quite a few got rejected - then i re-submitted only to get them rejected again etc etc) Now that Girls form mars is back I have 46 items coming out this week FINALLY! Basically 3 bedroom sets.. plus two bedding sets..
Another reason for the delay is also from the fact that i have moved onto more difficult meshes and it takes time to recolor these. Example: the past 48 hours I spent on two different Dining room meshes - one from Jope at Simply Styling ..another from OM at Avalon. Both are terrific meshes and my recolors would of been fantastic ( not trying to toot my own horn but i thought the colors and textures i used were brilliant) I wont be able to tell you if they really WERE fantastic as neither the meshes nor my recolors show in my game!!! ARRGH. Neither website said i needed any expansion for these specific meshes so i assumed they are base game friendly. I have no clue as to why they wont show in game... as the jope dining #6 I did have the table and sideboard show up but no chairs or anything else! So these have now become scrap and I know not to use these meshes again. All that time wasted.
So please be patient with me okay... i have tried in the past to have something new come out at least every other day.. but life doesnt always go according to my will ..LOL
So starting tomorrow 2 sets will be out and then on Friday and I am getting busy today getting some new stuff created and submitted so that throughout the weekend stuff may be available. I also have a new house i need to submit. I have a totally full week work wise with everything crammed into two days now as Friday is Good Friday. Look for a SPECIAL easter blog posting from me this weekend too!
As for my blogs I want to spice them up and make them interesting so i am going to take a poll asking some questions on what people would like to read about from me. I am attempting to make my page interesting and will also be putting some albums up in my photo gallery!
Have a terrific Wednesday people- here in SW Ontario it SNOWED ( yes you read that correctly) the other day and its like january out there right now - which is a reall piss off!! it is supposed to melt and I hope soon as spring had already sprung ! But we always have to get that one last snow fall...of course right after i had packed most of my familys winter gear away!!Its very depressing to say the least!!
Peace out!

Current 'Beach Haven' Lot Creation in Progress...
I will be offering two versions of my upcoming 'Beach Haven' lot due to the eye-openig experience I had after following all of the steps in CycloneSue's TSR tutorial in regard to uploading clean lots for install (thank you CycloneSue!). I never realized how weird my lots would look if someone downloaded my lot creations with the Maxis 'Sims 2 Body Shop Package Installer' until I followed all of the steps in testing an install back into my game.
Because the substitutions of Maxis items for the Custom Content (CC) I used were so out of place and defeinitely not Maxis items I would hace chosen I decided to submit two versions of my Beach Haven lot. One version will be all Maxis of my choosing and not random substitutions and the other version will be my original creation that will include my chosen CC from some of my favorite TSR creators. I also intend to not only credit the TSR artists but to also identify each CC item by name so simmers who are interested can easily finf the custom content for download. I am hoping the extra effort will make a more enjoyable download experience for those who choose to download my lots.
Below are images of one of my favorite ares from my Beach Haven lot so you can have an idea of the variations in the two versions:
Maxis version of Exercise and Sauna area:
Version with Custom Content:
Ooops! (SFH Stove fixed)
Accidentally the SFH Stove wasn't properly recolorable. I'd like to ask you to reload it again if you wish to use recolors for this stove. My biggest thanks goes to Numenor who has rescued me out of misery (once again *blush*). I've set the stove free for four weeks. All free items for four weeks are:
You need to download them individually. Sorry for the inconvenience.
New uploads
The next days you will be allowed to download some new clutches and swimwear... but I have to stop creating for a few days, because I'm now really busy @ school and I need more time for real life xD
so, I'm going on a trip for a few days ;)
Treasure Chests
Well this is my first blog here... I was bored and decided to finally do something with my account. I may even look at creating some cc. Have to get a decent photoshop program though. Ive always loved cc but I've never tried to make my own! Any suggestions on where to start??
Well I found 9 of the 13 chests... Im giving up now! I wouldn't win anyways, cause I never win stuff!! Good luck to the others still looking!!
Oh, I HATE it when that happens! :D
I just spent half the day working on an outfit that I thought was coming along pretty good. Everytime I checked it in BodyShop it seemed to be looking okay. But we all know how lousy BodyShop is for previews! Well, I had to leave it for awhile, to bake a cake for my sons birthday and prepare a special dinner for the family. So when I got back to it I was looking at it from every angle, trying to make sure it was coming along as good as I thought--when I realized the front of it was glaringly off-center! GRRR! All that work for nothing--I'm going to have to start over from the beginning! And I wanted to get a preview screenshot including this dress. *sigh* I don't have the greatest eyesight--I use over-the-counter reading glasses-and while I should probably upgrade to 2.00 strength, I am still using my trusty 1.75s (because it is hard to find a pair of cheap reading glasses that fit well and have decent glass --if you know what I mean--some of them make things look warped and distorted, and clear glass is hard to find) Oh, well--and I can't do it tomorrow, because I have to take my M-I-L to the doctor again (she's gonna have surgery in a couple weeks) But I'll get back to it as soon as I can--I think its gonna be pretty--white with ruffles--I had a dress something like it when I was younger and I loved it. Yes, sometimes I don't know when to shut up. :D
uploading...
Ok. So, I have a question that someone out there will probably be able to answer for me.
I wanted to post a new story, but I see that the story uploader that I downloaded oh so long ago no longer works. Is it outdated? I saw that there was a way to post my story page-by-page and type the words for each picture, but I was wondering if there is any other way to upload it, rather than recreating what I've already put together in the game...
If anyone knows of another way, please tell me! (you can comment, sign my guestbook...whatever floats your boat)
New Lots COMING SOON!
I have new BASEGAME lots almost finished and ready for upload here, so just you all wait!
*this has got to be the shortest blog i did*

Happy Easter!
Wishing you all a wonderfull Easter - may your life be filled with light and love during this very special time of the year.
Treasure Chests
I can't find the treasure chests "/ I've found 10 of 13 so I'll probably have to spend my whole day searching...
I'd really like The Sims 3 for free, but of course, everyone wants that. I suppose I shouldn't be sitting here writing; I'm wasting time ^^
6 April 2009
HEY GUYS! EPISODE 3 HAS BEEN SUBMITTED!
and no..this one's not a cliffhanger..:(
lol.
have a wonderful day,
Christina.
School and the Sims
Well it's about 11:00 at night and I need to write this paper but I just got through playing my sims and I'm pretty tired. I should have written my paper first but I am huge procrastonater. I hate writing papers but I'll probably be up half the night writing this thing. It just sucks that I have a 9:30 class in the morning that I may fall asleep in. If anyone decides to read this blog sorry it may seem boing but this is my first blog and I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm trying to debate if I'll get the Sims 3 or not. I love the Sims 2 and have spent alot of money on the expansion packs. I may just continue playing Sims 2 and may be one day I'll get Sims 3. Well thanks to anone who reads this, I'm thankful and appreciate it. Hope everyone is having or had a great day! :)

Got to dig deeper!
I can't find the last 2 chests. I beleive I have checked every where but they still elude me! I had to take a break from digging and I am working on a new house. I like to build. I am building a converted barn. It's almost done. Just adding a bit of furniture. I even made a couple of barn doors to add to the work room I built off the garage. I'm trying my hand at recoloring Maxis items. This was my first door. I need to test it out to make sure everything works. I plan on submitting it next week and hope it's approved. I heard there is a back log on the submissions. I'll just have to be patient and wait my turn. Hopefully when I finish the barn house and return to the site I may find those final 2 chests that elude me. Here are a coupld of screen shots. Let me know what you think. Happy hunting ;)
