Project: Hacienda Real de Guadelupe
Hi all,
I've been working on a Hacienda lot, but I'm not quite ready yet to share it as I still have to figure out all the custom content I've used. I love the CC, but it is so hard to keep track of all the CC that you use.. But anyways, in the meantime, I took a lot of screenshots to show you around the house. As I'm relatively new I don't know where to best put this stuff, but I guess a blog is as good as any ;-)
Welcome to Hacienda Real de Guadelupe - a spacious five bedroom (5 baths) house surrounding a central courtyard. Open corridors give access to all the main areas of the house, and supply the necessary breeze during those hot summers. Several family rooms, as well as a bar room, with attached home cinema room and a game and bar room provide all the entertainment one can wish for.

The hacienda is entered by the Torre, a central tower connecting the wings and the courtyard.

The Torre connects two wings: the Guadelupe wing which holds all the main living areas, as well as most bedrooms and the Caballero wing which holds the guest quarters and the entertainment rooms.
(view of the central courtyard from the Guadelupe wing)
The central courtyard is surrounded by open corridors that connect all rooms with the central courtyard.

The Guadelupe wing corridor is intersected by another central tower that connects to the courtyard and lanai on one end, and gives access to the central living areas.

Kitchen/Breakfast room area:

(behind the stone wall a secondary stairs leads to the first floor)
This concludes the first part of the tour, more to follow ;-)

Sim rejected ~ uhboo.
Hello lovelies ♥.
So I usually upload sims on here, sorry for my lack of activity, but I'm working on it ^o^, however, the sim I approved myself got rejected, because I'm not allowed to approve sims myself. *sigh* I already told them that they should have told it straight away or made a real on it. It never said sims weren't allowed to be always tested first. =__='
My two sims Kyani Iro and Bace Iro were both accepted by myself too. I wonder if they will take those down now. What a wonder, I never had any 'bad download' messages and both sims have over 10.000 downloads lol. The discovery that it's now a must to be tested first surely made me less excited to publish on TSR -.-'
But oh well TSR must have their reasons to become extra careful =='
Argh, now I need to wait longer before I can upload another simm ;3;
Membership Renewal Dilemma !!!!!
Hi
The Submissions Area has been an issue for me and many others since the start of the year, i decided a few months ago, that when my membership ran out (which is today) then i wouldn't renew it until the Submissions Area was fixed.
However, having spent less than 5 minutes not being a VIP Member, the ad's over riding everything (ncluding full page coverage when trying to log into the site) was TOO MUCH & everything ran slower than usual.
Because of this i have renewed my membership again which i was against doing so soon.
I don't mind advertisements on the site but personally for me it was too much to handle and very frustrating.
Fingers crossed the Submissions Area will be fixed SOOOOOOON ..... :)
First time!
I don't really know what to do here... I'm not a creator so I won't have too much to share about my The Sims, but I do hope to write some stuff from time to time. I'd like to be useful to everyone somehow, so if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know. :)
Also, if you want any advices on your sims, houses, worlds or well, creations, I'd be glad to help you with a review. If you need comments let me know, I'd be glad to give them to you. But not all the time, of course.
To share a little bit about me: I'm not a very lucky person when it comes to The Sims... I only own the base game and one Expansion Pack (Generations) because my parents think it's a waste spend almost fourty euros on an expansion pack, so that makes it hard for me to convince them to buy me some more, but I'll ask one in each birthday and I'll get there!
It is a bit hard to choose wich Expansion Pack I'd like to have next, because I really seem to like University Life, Seasons, Supernatural, Professional Ambitions and World Adventures, so I'm a little confused on what I'd want to choose. If I had seen the Generations pack earlier I would' have bought it. Don' get me wrong it's quite cute and all, but it seems more like a Stuff Pack rather than an Expansion.
But well, I'll get there, I don't really seem to like The Sims 4 anyway so I won't want to buy it. I truly believe it's ridiculous to have to pay for an update, shouldn't they have just done the game with that update? I mean, what The Sims doesn't have toddlers and pools?! I think that it was all planned just to receive some extra money, so I won't buy it, it'll only make me feel like I fell into a trap or something. Yes, I am THAT weird! Haha.
Well, I have nothing else to say really.
Stay well! =^^=

[TS4] How to Install Sims & Lots
In The Sims 4, there is a folder called Tray for lots and Sims. It is located in:
Windows XP: Documents and Settings\(Your User Account)\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray
Windows Vista, Windows 7/8, Mac: Users\(Your User Account)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray
Lots and Sims use several different types of files. Both use a type known as .trayitem . Lots also use .blueprint and .bpi files, while Sims use .hhi, .sgi and .householdbinary files. These files can be installed by extracting them from the archive file they are in, and placing them in the Tray folder; there is no need to do anything else to them.
You must unzip the file and place only the tray items in your tray, not the zip file.
Once you have placed them there, you should be able to find the Sims or Lots in ''My Library'' in the game once you launch it.
[TS4]How to Install .Package Files
In The Sims 4, there are two custom content folders: Tray for lots and Sims, and Mods for other content. Both of these folders are located in:
Windows XP: Documents and Settings\(Your User Account)\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\
Windows Vista, Windows 7/8, Mac: Users\(Your User Account)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\
When you download Custom content for your game, this comes in .Package files.
All custom content in Package files need to be placed in the Sims 4 Mods folder.
The Mods folder may contain sub-folders. If the Mods folder does not exist, it can be created manually. The Mods folder will contain a file named resource.cfg . If it is deleted, the game should recreate it.
Thank You FEMA!
Texas was declared a Disaster Area after all of our flooding, so thankfully we were able to call on FEMA for assistance. It seems strange to be thankful for being officially declared a Disaster Area...but, I am truly thankful for the designation and SO grateful for FEMA! We have been approved for help and assistance - which we are sorely in need of! Hopefully this help will enable us to reclaim our home and repair some of our possessions. (Sadly, many irreplaceable items are gone forever...) I do not know how long this repair/reclamation process will take, or if we'll be allowed to remain in-house while it occurs. Life is weird & strange right now, but I hope & pray it's looking better soon... I just wanted y'all to know where we're at in our recovery process and I wanted to, once again, say "Thank You" for your support, encouragement, comments, and downloads!
TSR
Okay so I am trying to learn how to use TSR. To me right now it is frustrating but I am sure i will get a hang of it soon. I am having gastric sleeve surgery on Wednesday july 22nd and hoping that things go right and everything. I am trying to find things that will keep my mind off of not being able to do a lot of things until I am healed. TSR was one of the things i thought would help me ease the time and such. Hope everyone is having a blessed day.
Flooding & Mold
We've had a lot of wet weather here in Texas lately. My house did flood. We managed to mostly recover from that initial water and damage, but we've got mold. I am currently in the process of ridding my house of that mold, a process which will take time. I have spent the last week dealing with this, but I still have a LOT of work ahead of me. I do have a few files here awaiting approval. Hopefully by the time my Pending list is empty, I'll be finished around the house and able to create more items for the Sims. Until then, thank you all for your support, kind comments, and downloads! It means more to me than I can express...
HOLLYDAYS ARE COMING!!!
Yes, the best time of the year is coming!!! " Hollydays"
Hope all of you have a great and sunny time!!! Time to relaxe, time with the family and the friends and all what you are loving!!!
I will be back at the end of July with new ideas and vitality!!!
Wish you all the best!!!

De Betere Keukenwinkel voor jouw Kookeiland
De meeste mensen koken graag. Niet alleen omdat goede gerechten nu eenmaal lekker zijn, het is ook nog eens leuk om te doen. Gezellig samen kokkerellen en daarna genieten van een vers bereide maaltijd. Gewoon met elkaar, het gezin of met vrienden en familie. Het hebben van een praktische keuken, de juiste keukenapparatuur en keukenspullen zijn hierbij onmisbaar. Voor de echte kookfanaat, en natuurlijk wanneer jouw budget het toelaat, is de aanschaf van een goede keuken dan ook essentieel.
Hoewel het bereiden van heerlijke gerechten natuurlijk in iedere keukenopstelling mogelijk is, is een kookeiland toch wel dé keukenopstelling onder de keukens. Omdat het eiland vrij staat, is deze vanaf alle kanten goed bereikbaar. Je kunt het eiland als spoeleiland gebruiken, als kookeiland, als extra groot werkblad of een combinatie hiervan. Alles is mogelijk. Langs de wand(en) kun je dan wandkasten plaatsen waar je diverse inbouwapparatuur zoals de koel- vriescombinatie, oven, magnetron, koffiezetter e.d. in kunt plaatsen. Door te kiezen voor een dergelijke opstelling is alles binnen handbereik en zeer praktisch ingedeeld.
Eilandkeukens zijn uiteraard bij alle keukenwinkel verkrijgbaar. Toch is er duidelijk onderscheid te maken tussen kwaliteit en afwerking. Kies daarom altijd voor de betere keukenwinkel waar je niet alleen keuze hebt uit de beste A-merken, maar waar je ook kunt rekenen of vakkundig advies, goede service en uitstekende garantievoorwaarden. In een goede keukenwinkel kan de verkoopadviseur met behulp van een computerprogramma een ontwerp maken van jouw droomkeuken. Zo kun je deze volledig op maat laten uitvoeren zodat deze aan al jouw eisen voldoet. Kies de opstelling, indeling, materialen, apparatuur en kleuren die passen bij jouw behoefte, smaak, stijl en budget.
Een ander groot voordeel is dat je de keuken kunt laten leveren en kunt laten installeren door echte vakmannen. Dit is niet alleen heel gemakkelijk, je weet ook zeker dat de keuken perfect wordt opgeleverd. Daarnaast heb je allerlei garanties mocht er onverhoopt iets misgaan tijdens de levering of montage. Is de montage eenmaal achter de rug, dan kan het kookfestijn beginnen. Heerlijk thuis kokkerellen met professioneel apparatuur in de perfecte keukenopstelling. Dat wordt genieten!
Quick Tip if the Launcher Won't Install Files
In addition to the other advice I gave in my last post, sometimes it's not anything wrong with anything at all. Sometimes TSR, especially if you download
something as a sims3pack, botches up the download, and you'll end up with a dud file. :( When you put it into the Launcher, instead of seeing a proper thumbnail, all you'll see is a brown box--you'll know it when you see it: TRUST. ;) 9 times out of 10, if you try to INSTALL anything showing up as a brown box in the Launcher, the installation
will FAIL. But don't despair! Extract the ZIP file wherever you need it, and reinstall the sims3pack(s) within. This time, the installation SHOULD work. ;) This happens me when I download things at LEAST twice a day, and dl-ing file as ZIPs instead of has ALWAYS worked for me. ;)
Happy Simming! :)
Problems Installing My Lots & Sims
I have recieved a few complaints during my time here at TSR that my Lots fail to install with the Launcher. I find this very disturbing. I have had some people test my lots in-game with 100% success, so I know the files aren't broken or anything, but when others tell me that they don't work, I get very confused. As of November 2016 I only have the WORLD ADVENTURES, AMBITIONS, AND LATE NITE EPs, and NO SPs at all, so any lots of mine dated before November 2015 do NOT require ANY EPs or SPs. Therefore, The problem clearly lies with who has certain CC properly installed, and who doesn't. With lots made ater November 2015, you may need to update your game to the latest patch or game EP I have to get them to appear. As of March 2016, I am currently using Patch Update 1.29, so as to avoid all the social crap nonsense going on with Showtime.
1.) PACKAGE FILES: as I ALWAYS say on my Downloads pages: You NEED to INSTALL the Extra CC Not Included files before you install my Lots and Sims into your Launcher, or it won't work! Download ALL of EA's FREE sets and things, including Riverview, at The Store if the frakking Launcher keeps telling you you're missing something.
When I list Package files I use in my creations, you MUST follow THE LINKS I give you, and download EVERYTHING I tell you to. The Launcher cannot read Package files, so you must already have the Package files in your Packages folder under Mods (under Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages. If you don't know what a Package file or Mods folder is, go her to learn what to do: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims 3: Installing Package Files. DO NOT try to install my Lots or Sims creatios in the Launcher without having FIRST put all the necessary Package files in you Packages folder. DO NOT.
2.) STORE STUFF (RIVERVIEW): Riverview is a MUST. REGISTER your Base Game at EA's TS3 site, and download the world--it's FREE (thank goodness). A lot of CC I use on my landscapes comes from Riverview--stuff like the wood logs and the scarecrow, especially.
2b.) STORE STUFF (WORLDS): I currently have Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs and Lunar Lakes installed. There is exclusive CC that comes with these worlds that I may or may not use, so if you think something is missing, it might be one of these 3 Store Worlds.
3.) STORE STUFF (FREEBIES): As I said abouve, I recommend that you download it ALL. Any and everything Free at The Store: GET IT. I did, and I may or not use any of these CC objects/clothes in my creations. Sometimes I use them without even realizing it, and TSR does not always list what is included in the creations, I have come to realize. If you don't know what is being offered freely, this is a good site to see everything all at once, and then go to the Store and get them: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/456640.page
3b.) STORE STUFF (FREEBIES--ACHIEVEMENTS and MYSTERY BUNDLES): I learned a Mod the Sims a few weeks/months back that was possible to get FREE THINGS at The Store by uploading your sim Memories to the website. Eager for anything my broke behind didn't have to pay for, I started uploading my Memories to My Studio, and sure enough I received a lot of cool things from EA, which are all listed here: http://crinrict-help.blogspot.com/2011/05/news-memories-and-sims-3-store.html so besure to Upload your Memories, folks, so you can get the freebies too! ^0^ Also, a few moths ago EA started including a few TSM to TS3 conversions as Mystery Bundle PRIZES for buying simpoint bundles at the Store. I have them ALL. You can see images and learn more about Mystery Items here: http://simsvip.com?p=3877
4.) STORE STUFF (PAY): I won't name individual files, but I'll list Store Sets I own that I might USE STUFF from Mediterranean Life, Viva Las Vegas Living, Regency Arcade, Olympia Physique, Morrocco Mystique, Buccaneer's Bounty, Hacienda Luxury, Indulgent Living, Zen Againn, Asian Fusion, Old Town Starter, Worldly Goodies: Adrenaline Rush, Transportation to the Future, Pushin Pedals, Speedy Styles, ALL Futureshock, More Magic, Steampunk (plus Retur and Kitchen), ALL Street Couture, Through the Spyglass Bedroom, Frontier Finds Living Room, ALL Faire, Folk Life, Gothique Living and Sleeping, ALL Regal Living, Victorian Fashions, Complete Castle Kits, Tiki Living and Dining, Mid Century Fantasy Living, Killer Classics and Three Lakes, Boho Vintage Womens, ALL Jazz Age, Bayside Laundry and Kitchen, ALL Storybook.
5.) EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOADS: I was lucky enough to snag a few downloads from the T-Mobile GETCONNECTED promotion a few months ago, and got some things. The OFFER is no longer available, sadly: T-Moblie - Retro Record Player and T-Moblie - Musi Arsenal.
So DOWNLOAD all of these things, if you can. If you can't get the Sims Store Pay Items and Exclusive Content, the you can't use my lots, whether they're for or not, sorry :(at least, NOT VIA THE LAUNCHER. It won't work, so YOUR only other option is to....
6.) DELPHY's MULTI-EXTRACTOR as last minute rescue: EDown load my lots anyway, and then go to Mod the Sims and download Delphy's Multi-Extractor at htttp://www.modthesims.info/d/364038. This will allow you tur turn any sims3pack into a PACKAGE file, including lots and sims. Turn the lots/sims into a package file, then put it in your Library folder under Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Library if it's a lLot, or the SavedSims folder if it's a Sim, and load the game--EASY! You now have my lot/sims!
If you still have problems, PLEASE: LET ME KNOW!!! I have over 400,000 people who downloaded my things so far, and I count on boht hands the people who told me that they had problems. If I don't know it's broken, HOW will I know to fix it?
I hate knowing that people are having problems with my things. :(It takes me so lonng to do lots (especially the Furished ones--those are a pill) and I trully and utterly mean this: HAPPY SIMMING!

The 170k Facebook Likes Giveaway Winners!
Before I announce the winners, let me explain how the winners were chosen. First the names (account names, twitter names, etc) were collected and placed into a spreadsheet. This resulted in a list of 1,716 names! Ouch! To make things a tiny bit easier for myself, I separated the names between those that participated on Twitter and those that entered on Facebook. This guaranteed that there would be winners from both sites.
Next, I used the random number generator from Math Goodies ( http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html ). This allowed me to enter the numbers assigned to the names on the spreadsheet, and quickly find our random winners. I picked 12 from Facebook and 12 from Twitter (24) to start with. Then I went back and did it six more times, from the combined pool for a total of 30 winners.
** Winners, please send me a PM here including your valid email address (click on my name above to go to my minisite, then click the Message button under my banner.) You will have 72 hours to contact me in order to claim your prize! If I don't hear from you in that time, your prize is forfeit. Another name drawing will be held for any unclaimed prizes. This will continue until all prizes are claimed. (If for some reason you can't get the Message option to work, send an email to [email protected] but please make that a last resort.) Should your name appear twice because you use a different tag on Twitter than you do on Facebook, please be honest enough to admit it so we can select another winner.
*** Winners list updated July 2, 2015. As before, if the card goes unclaimed for 72 hours, the prize is forfeit and new names will be drawn.
*** Winners list updated July 9, 2015. As before, if the card goes unclaimed for 72 hours, the prize is forfeit and new names will be drawn.

The sims resource
love the sims resource found out about it a few weeks ago now im on it everyday xxx
love this
The Hand of Help
Whether student is combining his school with work or not, he always needs more money. It is obvious and annoying problem for students from any specialty. Probably, those scholars who get degree in Management do not get into such troubles. Indeed, it is a circle of earning and wasting cash: the more student gets, the more issues he finds to spend money on. It is very important not to get insane and obsessed with the idea of earning money just for buying new stuff and various services. Luckily, students can save much money using research paper writing help. It is much better to order the academic papers online to be sure in their quality. In addition, they usually have discounts for scholars on a budget. If student really needs financial help, he can always get aids from the government or other organizations.
To have it, undergrad has to write persuasive letter of the application. It should not be perfect, it has to be unique. Due to this, one out of five students receives some aid. Scientists claim that it is much better to ask for a help than try to fix all the things independently. It can be too nervously for the student.
Theft Sites
Just to be clear: These are the sites where I have discovered my "stolen files," my Kyanite Blue evening gown and my Henna Hands.
Sims 4 Planet at sims4planet.net/%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8/Kyanite-Blue-by-DragonQueen uploaded by lorelea
Sims3Pack.ru at sims3pack.ru/sims-4/tatuirovki/11467-henna-hands-ot-dragonqueen.html uploaded by Ossallea
Everything.kz has posted my Henna Hands with a link going to Sims3Pack.ru at everything.kz/post/42424725/36212 Not sure HOW it got there!
Simov4.net did remove my Kyanite Blue evening gown after I contacted them via email requesting they do so.
I have written to the others on a daily basis and am still waiting for them to respond and/or pull the files. I fear Google Translate may be failing me. (The sites are all Russian, not a language I speak. lol) As I am pretty new to creating, I value each and every one of my followers and downloads. I am really quite annoyed about this issue. I know I should take it as the "backhanded compliment" that it is... If it were just my Kyanite, I probably would. But the misappropriation of my Henna Hands really annoys me.
Best Game
Your best game comes in handy in college where all other students are trying their level best to make a fulfilling career by the end of their time in school. College education becomes the most sought component in a student’s priority list. You are bound for greatness if you are working on having the best students in class within your circle. A circle of such classmates will boost whatever methods you have up on your sleeves. You will have first-hand experience on how other students approach assignment prompts and learn a few tricks in each session.
Do not leave your fate wholly to Australian essay writers you find on your favourite site. Ensure that your writers play their part and give worth to the hefty price you have paid to get your academic work done. The best game is when you have played the greatest role in your academics. You become aware of the problems that face students on their way to success. The pursuit becomes even sweeter if you have been trailing in class and you hardly knew about it. You will have to prove yourself that you are worth the fight by trouncing through written papers and exams grades in all semesters.
Search Not Working!
I'm searching the site for stuff I want but nothing's coming up, it just says Loading or something like that. I've logged in, I've given it time, I've refreshed the site when it takes agaes. Is this common, or should I get it looked at?
How Do You Handle Theft?
In my last blog post, I mentioned how flattered and grateful I was to the individuals and websites who have featured my creations and provided links back to The Sims Resource. I regret to say not all webistes are that honest. I have since found a few of my creations available for download at other sites, something I specifically do NOT allow. I have sent messages to the Administrators of the websites and am currently awaiting a result. I wonder, how have you other creators handled situatons such as this?
1k+ Downloads!
I'm completely speechless! My Tattoo set was published on the 19th of June, it's now the 21st and it's passed the 1k mark of downloads!
I'm so pleased as I never did have much confidence in my self or my creations. But this is fantastic and I'm encouraged to do more.
I've done my second tattoo pack and now I'm on my third which features floral back tattoos. I've also been working on some clothing too, which I'm quite pleased with! :)
I'd love some feedback on my creations and if people have some suggestions feel free to share!
Thanks so much for making my day!

I'm Flattered & Thankful
Just out of curiousity, I googled myself: DragonQueen Sims. I fully expected TSR to appear, and it did. Surprisingly, so did many other sites. As I clicked on each one of them (yes, each one! lol), I was deeply flattered and grateful to see my creations appearing on such sites as Sims4Downloads, Sims4Updates, MySims4Blog, Tumblr, Pinterest, ScoopIt, and even a couple Russian websites. Wow! (If I left any out, I'm truly sorry! Forgive me...) Thank you so much to each and every person who uploaded a link to my creations! Thank you to each and every person who's downloaded! -=Air Hugs To All=-
FIXED AND UPDATED ITEMS
some of you reported that my latest items had some texture bugs so here is the list of updated creations, as soon as i'm done with the rest of them i will update the list:
UPDATED 19.06:
I'm back! (And rambling aimlessly! lol)
I'm FINALLY back! I'm a single creator (I make my stuff alone on my laptop), and I'm in college, aspiring to soon go to grad school to get a PhD in Neuroscience! *hopeful*. But because I'm a single creator with very limited time on my hands, my creations may be rather spaced out, and you probably won't see any at all when I'm in school: for non-americans... American College School Years go like this: A total of 3 semesters in a year (but most people only take 2 because Summer Semester is unpopular - for obvious reasons... lol). Fall Semester typically runs from mid-September to early December. Then winter break. (I might publish in winter break.... stay tuned). Then Spring Semester starts in early-mid January and runs through early May. - This is the typical timeline, some schools vary a bit... it depends on the school. I attend Northern Kentucky University... just across the river from my long-time home in Cincinnati (in the southern-most tip of the state of Ohio, nestled right on the banks of Ohio River. - It's a huge river, but supposedly very polluted. :P No one goes swimming in it, but it's popular to take the riverboat cruise for a day). If you've never been to Cincinnati... there's a lot to see and do here! The great thing about going to NKU is that it is just on the other side of the river and access to public transportation is really easy! There is a bus stop right outside of the MEP building (Math, Education, and Psychology). The bus will take you downtown or to the popular nightlife spot of Newport on the Levee, on the Kentucky side of the river.
Anyway... (I was getting off-track... as usual. -_-') I have very little time during the year... so I ask all of my simmie friends and people who like to download my stuff to please be patient... I'll make something new eventually! But... case in point.... those Anime Eyes... took me over 5 HOURS to complete and upload to TSR!!!
Also... I'm a beginner in the extreme! I'm very flattered that TSR considers the stuff I upload to be worthy of posting... and I was absolutely shocked that Pralinesims posted a comment on my newest creation! KYAAAA!! :D <3 <3 I'M NOT WORTHY!!! I'M NOT WORTHY!!! * prostrating self before one of the gods of the modder community!!!* (If you don't know what "prostrating" means - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prostrating?s=t .
I'm such a beginner that I don't know how to do meshing at all yet or how to create new clothes by recoloring and make them look believable (they look flat!) :P Also... I don't know how to create mods of any kind! - Maybe someday!
I really hope you guys like my stuff! I made it for my love of The Sims and what I thought people might like.
If you haven't guessed already from my Anime Eyes... I'm a anime/manga freak... I'm almost an Otaku!! (Oh god!) (PS... Otaku = crazy fan of anime/ gaming).
I draw a lot of anime/ manga characters on paper and I wanted to try making anime eyes... because I'm sometimes a bit disappointed with the very small number of choices available. I suggested using Pralinesims' Doll Lashes Mascara because it works really well as anime eyelashes. I tried to create my own... but failed miserably. They looked like crap x10!!! *sob*. Anyhow... my eyes ended up (unintentionally) looking very Shojo! But I guess that's not surprising... given that I read and watch a ton of shojo with cute looking girls in them. (If you haven't guessed... I'm a girl.. hee hee! <3). One of my current favorites is Skip-Beat... which is a manga that is still currently running in LaLa magazine in Japan and the graphic novels are being published in English by ShojoBeat. It's also a pretty good anime. I really suggest it! But... as usual... the manga is better than the anime.
Anyhow... enough of my pointless rambling...
Have a great day everyone! And happy simming!
Next week...
...you'll be getting this. (SORRY, but I swear you'll love it. You've waited for this for a long time.)

The Bad, The Good & The Bad
Our family has been heartbroken by the passing of two of our beloved cats in less than four months. We'll always miss you, Cheech and Zeus!
I updated my laptop to Sims Get To Work. Now my newest creations aren't appearing on my husband's computer (the one I use to photograph my uploads). Surprisingly, even the base game items that I recolor aren't showing up on his computer. So, yes, he gets an update too. To those of you who download my items from now on: You may need to update to Get To Work to get my newer creations to appear in your game.
New sets
As you can see I am back. I also have lots of creativity so I'm busy with recoloring some more sims clothes. I am guessing you want a sneakpeak so here is one

Thank You Everyone!
I just couldn't resist creating a set of henna hands for my game. When I realized there weren't any available here at TSR, I knew I had to upload them. I hope you like them too! Thank you TSR for Featuring them on the front page! :) And thanks, in advance, to all who download them!
Not gone for good.
Taking a little break from building houses for the Sims 4 to work on my "Real Life" house. Redoing my whole main level. I must say it's much faster to do in game then in real life. I'm still playing the Sims 4 and Sims 3 I just don't have the time to do what it takes to get my houses uploaded....but I will back with lots more.
Thanks to everyone who has downloaded one of my houses...it make it's so worth while to share and have others enjoy them as I have.
Cheers,
Sparks
I'm back :)
Hello all,
