Diana
lisa9999 is a very sweet playerartist with a very sweet dog named Diana.
Since Lisa approved of the pix of Diana here is the FINISHED collage for Diana which has been uploaded & is now just waiting for TSR to let her wag her way onto everyone's hard-drive.
Bitter, but sweet, I hope...
As you know, it's all about Peony Floor Collection, that is still pending from more than 2 weeks. They are still pending, of course, but eventually the mail came on Thursday, where the staff lady explained to me that the floors are still pending because they look broken, it est: they are not seamless. I asked for checking the set again, because maybe the fact that pictures on TSR are displayed on the white background makes the person responsible for accepting stuff unable to see the difference - the white frame around every tile. Silence since then. But now all my creations are pending, so I'm just helpless. What to do? What can I do to have my problem solved? I can do nothing.I hope that I'm wrong, but it seems that it's all ok when you sit quietly and nod, admitting everything the admins say. "It's not looking good", they say, and you have to obey, saying with quiet voice "Yes, master, you're right, it's not looking good, I admit, please, accept the rest of my humble creations".
But I am a perfectionist. I know, that when I upload something, it is of a good quality, because I do not upload things that I wouldn't download myself, and I have very high quality criteria. And when I hear such an oppinion about my items (that they cannot be uploaded because people on TSR have to take care about the quality of the objects to download), I get furious. What about this hair from 2005 that may have been great item 3 years ago, and now even the creator is ashamed of it? What about the ugly hair in 50 neon colours, not even recoloured properly, but only poured with colour? Grr.
So I have serious doubts whether the staff is not planning to delete my account, at least via trying to stop me from uploading. It's up to them, I must admit. So we shall see.
But I still hope it will be solved peacefully. I wish it to!!! Because I love TSR very much, I love my lovely friend I made here, BBKZ, and I just love it here! I want to stay!
SO please, TSR staff, let me be!!!

Elder Super Set
Hello All - I'm currently working on an Elder Super Set. The set will include tops, pants and skirts for your female elders. I will be featuring some of the items here and the entire collection at Basic! The entire collection has 62 creations. I can't wait to share it all with you. Hunter
Thank you...
to all who comment, pm, sign my guestbook or rate a creation.Mini Modern 4 Lot
This is an upcoming lot preview. I am uploading it on TSR this weekend in between the packing and moving. Let me know what you think :)
Whoa! I've been busy!
I got a creative spurt tonight, and MAN! ...BodyShop and I have made a load of stuff! Here's a rather lengthy list of the stuff I've pulled out of my back pocket, that may just end up on my MiniSite in the short future!Texture Challenge 58 - Maxis Mesh (room)
Texture Challenge 34 - Maxis Mesh (room)
Elder Unders - (base game/elder male) Set of 6 items that can be worn as undies, pjs, and swimsuits.
Summer Shorts - (bon voyage/adult male) Set of 4 items that can be worn as swimwear and pjs.
Shoe Match - (base game/child male) A set of 4 base game Maxis clothings with matching shoes. I always hated the blue and green shoes that EVERY child had to wear. So, I fixed 'em right up for me, and maybe you.
Beach Boy - (base game/teen male) A set of 5 items that can be worn as swimwear or pjs.
Like Mother, Like Daughter - (H&M/Adult Female & Teen Female) An outfit for both mother and teen females.
Undeneyeable Eye Shadow - A set of 5 beautiful eye shadows, I'm very proud of them. :D
Mad Lips - A set of three lipsticks without the shine.
...so far, that's it. I've not worked on the Andretti's since last night. I felt like creating for once.
Aug/Sept Updates!
I'm slowly trying to get back into the swing of things. I really don't have much motivation for creating anymore but every so often I'll work on a little something. So here a few things that I had finished up for you guys. First, the techie outfit for teens included in Free Time. It's one of my favorite Maxis outfits so I couldn't help recoloring it.
Then aikea_quinea converted the maxis mesh for adults so I had to recolor that one too.
And last, but never least, I started working on some jewelry sets right after my niece passed away in June. They are from Lianaa's full jewelry mesh. They include earrings, necklace, bracelet, and ring. I made each set for base game and Bon Voyage.
*These are dedicated to my mom, who was called Mary by everyone but her real name was Ethel, she passed away a little over two weeks ago on Aug 6; my niece Hannah, who passed away a little over two months ago on Jun 21; and to my other beautiful nieces. I plan on doing ten total sets to represent all of them, so keep a look out for the rest.*
Cutout Panels
I saw a picture in some magazine showing a room with cutout panels, I thought that looked really great. So I made my own set of cutout panels in different colors, with a darker shade on a lighter one. I was thinking about also making a set using Maxis panels, but I'm not sure they would turn out nice. Have to put my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with something...I'm just taking a break from runaway designs. There's some I did a while ago but haven't uploaded. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of set they should be a part of.
My New Cushy Cave!
Well, I had a few people who wanted me to get an FA chat thread up on the forum, so I was happy to oblige! :DYou can now find my Cushy Cave here:
Illiana's Cushy Cave
I also have several projects currently in the works...so keep your eyes peeled here for updates. Of course now that I have that nice new cave, I have a place to show exclusive pictures of my upcoming lots...lots of pictures. Hehehe! So, you might want to visit there as well!
Thank you to everyone who congratulated me on the Announcement page, in my guestbook, in my cave, and even privately. You guys and gals here on TSR are the absolute BEST! I sure hope you like my next projects, and that they make your sims happy!
Your friend -

More pictures of Native American Clothes
I've had several request for a 'complete' Native American set. I am currently working on a set for the whole family from elder to toddler and both sexes. They are authentic and because of the amount of detail it is taking me longer to produce them. I will post some pictures when I have enough completed to show. I'm thrilled to make more because this is also part of my heritage. Edit: Here is one picture of a Native American Teen Princess. I'm still working on the rest of them. There won't be any duplicates, each will be unique. The set should be uploaded this week. I hope that you will like them. :)
Edit:
Here is the male teen Prince. More to come. :)
Edit:
My elder female outfit. I'm still working on the rest of them. After I finish the Elder Chief's ensemble I'm considering submitting these four. When the other six are completed I could submit the rest of the set.
Back again
Well, as you can see, I'm back from my vacation. Just wanted to let you all know. If you have noticed the calander, I was busy this week. Some add-ons for several kitchens and on request.... a cookerhood. It fits almost every uppercabinet I made, except the romantic one. If there is a need for a cookerhood for this kitchenset, please let me know. I used the cookerhood that came with Kitchen and Bath, remodeled it and added the recolors, so you won't need any expansionpack. Works like a fire-alarm, even with the blinking red dot. Hope you have fun with it!!
New Period Wear
Historical clothing has long been my mainstay, from my early (and very basic) creations right up to the present. At the moment, I am working on more early Twentieth Century clothes, 1920s and Edwardian. I hope to release a fair few outfits for both genders, but it depends upon what good quality photos I can find online (as hand-drawing never gets very good results for me). If anyone knows of a particular outfit they would like me to make, and has access to good front and back photos of it, please feel free to request it. :)One set submitted, another to come...
I have finally submitted the Modern Building Set. It will be released this Saturday, August 23. When it is released, I will post a blog on building tips with this set. :)I am almost ready to submit my next set. If you noticed the set featured in the header on my page, consider this a sneak peak at the next set :) It is the Basic Living Living Room Set, and I just have to finish renaming the pictures and files and put them into a zip file so that I can submit it!
And, I haven't forgotten the stories. I am working on them, slowly bu surely, but they will be up very, very, very soon!
That's it for now!
Happy simming!

IMPORTANT - Leyris small dresser
Hi all,I'm sorry about this, there were still a few flaws in the Leyris dresser wich needed fixing. It would be a good idea to redownload it. Sorry about this.

Previeuw for this week
Hi, all! How are you? At the moment I'm at my hubbies pc. Because of the continnuing errors it's the only way for me to update my blog and to submit my sets once a week. But never mind, here's a little previeuw for you to have a look at my upcomming stuff. The first upload for this week is a Victorian residence. This house is build on a 3x4 lot. It's a little bit bigger then the most of my other buildings. The loading time of this lot is a little bit longer, but unles that, it worked fine on my laptop. I only have to warn you that your Sims wil need a good gardener, because of the many plants and the flowers! You also could deside to sell some of the many flowers and replace them for other plants. It's also possible to remove the plants on the right front of the building and create a second driveway. Your sims wil be very glad to have two cars!! Victorian Sunset: This lot is upcomming & aviable to download on 22-8-2008.

My 1st
Well I'm great at coming up with ideas but not so great at getting them made into something. I've been taking a look at some tutorials and with some help from some very sweet friends of mine......hopefully will have me creating custom content instead of just lots, pets, and stories. So here are my attempts at wallpapers. 4 sets with 4 papers each. Set 1
Set 2
Set 3
Set 4
These are some of the 1st attempts of wallpaper making.
Back to school
So, school has just started for me, and as you might guess, there wont be so much time to create. But, I�ll do my best to create sets for you. Since I have one upcoming set and another finished there wont be any lacks in the near month. Here is a preview of an outfit in an upcoming set :)
Knit-picky? Moi?
Nah. It's just that when I put time and effort into building a lot I want it to be FREAKIN' PERFECT! lol So my first pet peeve was the floor edges. Fixed. Done. Next thing than kinda always bugged me was the transition from one wallpaper to the next, especially if they have a pattern.
It just doesn't look finished to me. Icky boo!
So I am making some Room Transitions. Another really simple object that gives a finishing touch to open-plan lots.
Much better. Yay! lol
Looks good on the outside too for using different siding.
So far I have two shiny metallic and four wood and a blue glowing one just for the fun of it. ;)
Currently working on
I'm currently working of my English Garden collection. The update will include:*Variations of the english garden fence

*Windows and Doors
'My Little Unicorn' Bedroom Collection - Preview!
Yep, I'm back again! I've really been 'buzzing' lately - I've finished with my 'Bees' and have made very good progress on this, my latest installment in kiddy bedrooms - so here we have another sneak preview of things to come! 'My Little Unicorn' Bedroom Collection
Definitely aimed at your little girly sims (though there's no reason why boys can't have their rooms like this - I don't want to appear sexist now!)
All done out and decorated in white and shades of pink, with a cute, baby unicorn/pegasus theme.
As usual, the walls and carpets will be different as I've yet to package and install them, but other than that, everything else is done - unless YOU have any ideas of course!
So, what do you reckon?
Uni-Corny Mad Cow! 
How disappointment can ruin your joy...
Hi. Today will be a sad entry. I'm very disappointed with the way TSR treats some of my things.Since the moment I joined TSR, I really loved this site. I was charmed with great custom content and really admired all the great staff that reply to every e-mail you send to them. I used to. But not anymore.
I remember how much joy I felt when my first creation was published. From the very beginning I wanted to be a TSR Ambassador (although I still have no idea what it is... :-/), and I was really proud of every single aspect about TSR, even had a little hope that after uploading many really nice things I may be one day chosen as an SA... Now, when for over 2 weeks I see some flooring simply pending because of no reason, maybe because somebody just got prejudiced about it, I'm furious. I'm almost certain that no one ever checked the files again, thinking that they are not fixed.
I just feel helpless. I can't help it. My whole enthusiasm about creating anything disappears when I open a "Submit" section and see the 6 pending floors - the same I see for over 2 weeks!!! I just feel as if someone kicked me in my butt all the time.
And what's the most regretful? That no one cares. The staff is even brazenly lying about sending me e-mails concerning the matter. I don't think so. I work in an international volounteer association, and I do check mails all the time, because otherwise I would be flooded with them. No e-mail from TSR staff apart from the confirmation of leaving a message in the support section.
I just located my feelings and passion into the wrong direction. Again. I thought that in virtual life it's not possible, but it is.
I'm just thinking of changing the front. From TSR to Mod the Sims2. I'll do it as soon as possible, when I have some time. I really regret it, because for me there was only TSR, ever. It's where I wanted to exist in the Sim-community. So I'm very disappointed. And very sad. But I'm forced to leave. That's what I feel.
Sad,
Hannah
Update!
Two of the Vintage Charm Pink collection files are now updated, 3 wallplate pink recolor (cash_vincharm_3wallplate_pink_recol.package) and the pink lampshade recolor (cash_vincharm_lampshade_pink_recol.package). The original downloads contained incorrect files--the files are now updated with the correct files. Thanks Alandperrine for notifying me of the problems.Take Care,
Carolyn
Some new lots
I've got a fair number of new lots ready but just haven't had the time to upload them yet.There's a mixture of large and small, some furnished and some not and a couple of University ones as well.
Life's been a bit manic the last few weeks due to personal reasons and I've just not been about as often. My little boy is growing like mad, five months old now and wanting more and more attention, and we've had a bereavement in the family too which was sudden and tragic so my time at the computer has been limited.
Still, for the couple of you who bother to read my blog ( ;) ) I just wanted to let you know there are works afoot!
Tropical Storm Fay
Since I live in Northeast Florida, I will be away from the computer for a day or perhaps more depending on how much damage the storm does and how long it takes for me to get power back.The Blue(ish) set has been submitted so perhaps it will be published while I'm internet-less. We'll see. Anyhow..
Wish me luck!!
Ama Daydreams Beds
If you're looking for the recolors of Ama's daydreams bed, you will no longer be able to find them. The original mesh was removed due to multiple accounts, so if Ama posts the mesh on her site I'll repost them, but until then sorry :(
Over 500,000 downloads!
I can't belive my eyes that I reached this number of downloads! Thanks to everyone who ever downloaded any of my creations... To celebrate this mile-stone I've created this little set of pj's... Hope that you will like them:)! Hugs :) Ola
Summertime Fun Objects
Ready for upload are a few summer fun objects. Have you ever wished that your Sims could play with the sandcastles they build on Vacation? Well, now they can. I have taken the sand castle graphics and applied them to a cloned dollhouse. Both adults and children can finally have some fun while playing in the sand. These have been visitor-enabled so they can be used at home or in the Downtown/Vacation/Old Town areas. There are 3 sand castles and 2 piles of sand.15000 Downloads
Back .. and new free set
hi there!I'm back from the baltic sea, it was not really relaxing cause i have to watch over children in a camp, but therefore it was a lot of fun and I rediscovered my interest for windsurfing...
Btw, I'm sure I'll be able to upload a new set soon.
More news? My eyeshadow set will be free for the next month :)
Cheers, tschib
Grrr....
Peonies still pending. No reply from admins for over 2 weeks. Very angry and disappointed. I used to consider TSR more reliable and helpful.Hannah
Bear with me...
I've been very sick lately, and haven't been much of a Simmer. I don't even feel like playing...much less creating. :( Some of you may have noticed my lack in submissions and GB signing and forum-izing...I do apologize.However, a few things I have planned for the upcoming weeks:
1. I am going to start recoloring Maxis Meshes only for a few weeks. I know that some of you aren't TSR Subscribers (shame on you!) but, would like more of my recolors in your games. Besides, I want to start understand collection files and their inner workings. Most CC Meshes have their own collection files, so I can't learn to make them that way!
2. I am going to start doing a bit more meshing as well...been working on a new cellphone mesh, the Apple iPhone, to be exact. I get so bored with the original cellphone, thought I might take it upon myself to create something a little more snazzy for my Sims. It needs a bit more work...but, it's coming along fine.
3. I've started a second job that takes up most my time, but I promise to try and keep up with the Andretti Legacy demand. I just hate to upload crummy parts because you guys are starving. Sometimes I just don't have that 'creative' wire to write up a good twisted part...so I try to pull something out of my sleeve even though I'm wearing a tank top...and you can see where I'm going with that. No sleeves...no ideas...crummy part.
Bear with my guys and gals!
'My Little Bee' Bedroom Collection - Preview!
Hi folks! Having been to the deepest, darkest reaches of outer space for my new 'My Little Alien' and 'My Little Space' bedroom collections, I decided for the third in the series, to come back down to earth and get back to nature! So here we have a sneak preview of: 'My Little Bee' Bedroom Collection
Since the first two were aimed more for the boys, I thought I'd make this one a little more unisex!
All done out in white, cream and gold - not all versions are shown here - you'll have to wait for the finished product - this is just a teaser!! 
I have another in the series planned which will definitely be aimed more for the girls - more on that later, as at the moment it is just another of my Mad Cow ideas! 
If anyone has ideas for future themes/projects, I am more than willing to listen - can't always guarantee I'll be able to come up with the goods tho'!
Any comments appreciated as always - go on, you know you want to!!
Buzzing Mad Cow!! 
Dirty Pretty Things
A new recolor of the Manor House Washroom will be up tomorrow. It's totally different from what I normally do and features grungy and cracked textures for all the Washroom pieces. I hope everyone enjoys it.The MH Garden will be coming shortly =]
