Important! Unlocked items!
I have a few sets that are unlocked from Free Time thus they were hidden outfits. "HM Red Carpet Dress" , "A Night Out" and "Margareta"(not published yet) are actually winners of some H&M competition . I didn't know that until somebody pointed it out in a comment. I am not taking credit for anything except finding them in Free Time and unlocking them. A lot of people have unlocked items in previous EPs and SPs before I did. I already asked Anita and Kath what to do and when I will have the final answer I will either unpublish the sets or not.It will probably be after Tuesday when the holidays are over and Kath returns. I'm waiting for that answer too, after all it was a lot of work from my side as well (unlocking, editing, making previews and all).
I'm not comfortable with the situation either, but since it happened, I have to handle it the best way I can.
Thank you PsychoChan for pointing it out! Thank you everyone else for understanding the situation!

Happy Easter!WOW! I can't believe it! March 21, I reached 700,000 downloads! I can't believe that my stuff was downloaded 100,000 times in just 1 week! This is amazing! Thanks so much to all of you!
Happy Simming!
God Bless you all!
New Projects
I've expanded on the Get Schooled school-themed set with a Get Schooled Cafeteria.
More on this theme coming soon!
I have also started a new themed set called the Keep it Clean series. A variety of decorative and workable items aimed at cleanliness.
Find all of this and more at naturalsims.com
I will be adding some recolors and more updates/screenies to TSR soon!
Thinking spring now.
I won't be putting up much for awhile - recovering from my surgery, but will try to put up things when I can.
Updated! Heritage End Table
The Heritage Dining Room end table package is updated, cash_vic_heritage_endtable_mesh.package. The end table is improved to allow better placement of objects on the surface of the end table. You can get the improved package here,

Thank-you! Carolyn
Upcoming Sets!
Here are some previews of upcoming sets. They'll be uploaded sometime in the near future after I get the Adult H&M Fashion Miniskirts up. I'm only doing a few more matching color clothing sets and then I'll probably move on to some other things. I'm working on some walls and floors right now. I might even get around to recoloring some objects. My time has been pretty limited over the last several weeks so it all depends on when I can squeeze in some work...Or should I say fun! ;) I hope everyone likes!!
Easter
I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Easter. I am so happy we have all become friends on here. It makes TSR even more fun than it already was. I can hardly wait to come on here every day. May God bless you all!Karie
Happy Easter everyone!
Past week I created four sets with cute dresses and matching undies, for our little toddlers to wear upcoming Easter or spring. Past days I submitted them, but at the moment I don't know yet when they wil be downloadable. I think it wil be soon, but not in time for easter. Here's a pervieuw..
Maybe they are a little late, but I hope you like them..
and I wish you a very Happy Easter Holiday, with all of your family & friends. Let it be holy and peaceful, and let's hope that Easter Bunny is good to us this year!
Happy Easter & huggs, your Dirtdevill
Meshing is fun
And frustrating. I had to start the dress over 3 times at least. I just can't get the silly thing right. In the mean time, I've decided to make a more simple item and some recolors. I'm nearly done and will upload this weekend. :)Boh�me
This is the third and final set of adult versions of my Bohemian Teen tops. There were two tops in this style in the original set, one each in white and pink and I decided to develop that colour scheme in the adult set. This set comprises six elegant satin camisoles with a French period feel featuring spaghetti straps, light boning front and back, rear hook and eye fastening, lace trim and translucent rear panels. There are three plain tops in white, black and pink and three with a contrast Oriental floral front panel.
These tops are available for adults and young adults. They use a standard Maxis mesh and are base game compatible.
Happy Easter
This is a wonderful weekend to take a break. Not doing much except relaxing and watching TV. Have a very Happy Easter and I will get back to recoloring on Monday. Ta Ta for Now! Keep On Simmim'!Easter Flip Flop Chicken
A toy that can be used by all ages, but the toddlers will have most fun using it.HAPPY EASTER! To you all!! :)
South Shore Dresser Problem - FIXED
I just had a small issue with my South Shore Dresser pointed out to me, in that the clothes in the drawer use the wood texture instead of the clothes. If you've already downloaded the file, don't worry, it's not going to break your game or anything. I'll have it fixed shortly and upload the new file :)***Problem fixed, I've updated the file here
OMG! I wrote a tutorial!
I actually did it! I finally sat down, and wrote out how I make new paintings.It made perfect sense to me when I re-read it, but I guess it's up to the admins at TSR on whether or not they wish to publish it.
I know it's silly, but I'm really nervous. What if they publish it and I sound illiterate? Or maybe I'm the only one it makes sense to?
As nervous as I am about it, I hope it's published. I really want feedback on how I did.
I'm also kinda sick of having to telling people the same thing over and over again. Now I can just (hopefully) send them a link to my article.
WooHoo!
YEAH!
I sent a PM to girl from mars and one of them got approved. She probably would have done both of them... but I realized I accidentally included a bonus item with one of them! OOOPS! Now I have to go take it out and repackage the lot. Hopefully, it will get approved then.Sensei D'Taste - Preview
If your Sims love to cook, and if they enjoy the company of cuisine minded Sims, let them explore their palettes and culinary inspirations at Sensei D'Taste. Can your Sims dazzle the judges by cooking exquisite dishes for the food contest in the two fully equipped kitchens and win first place? It will be released on 22nd March 2008. A front view preview: The lot has been completely decorated, furnished and landscaped. Around the back, there is additional seating under canopies. The community phone and bin can be found at either side of the building, tucked away in two small alleys.
A ground floor preview:
Leading off from the spacious main dining area are two raised kitchens that have been fully equipped, and two raised seating areas where your Sims can relax between contests, or socialise with other cuisine minded Sims. A food contest table is near the front entrance, and there is a men's and a women's restroom either side of the two lifts.
An upper floor preview:
At the front of the upper floor is a veranda seating area, and off to the sides is two more seating areas. There is a small library and TV area. Uni Sims can study in these areas and gain skill points when visiting this lot. Also there is a men's and women's toilets, and a bedroom and bathroom where Sims can relax.
If you place this lot in a University neighbourhood, your student Sims can gain study points if they cook, watch TV, or study in the library area whilst visiting the lot.
There is no custom content or hacks included. It was made with all of the expansion packs installed, but no stuff packs. It has been thoroughly tested in game.

I have almost finished making my last 3 Teen Sets for Adults. Just finishing off the tops. I'm going to make some more clothing for Teens and Adults. Might work on some more hair too and ages ago i was going to make some more accessories so i might get stuck into that.
Anyway this is getting a little long - think i'll stop now. Again everyone have a wonderful Easter and i hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of Eggs!
Take Care,
Louise
Exams :(
I won't update for 2 weeks because I have got a lot of exams :( , but I'll return with my set Maleness Version 2 with outerwear :). Regards , Francisco ^_^Whew!! BreakTime
Well, YES, I will be doing the FreeTime Nursery items in the MM woods just a soon as I can find a suitable way to do the Bedding, skirting fabrics etc. I will also be doing all the new appliances in MM colors. Still working on other MM & SM requests in between. Lots more coming. Took a little break the past few days to give my wrists and ankles rest. They swell you know and then they hurt. Enough pity party.I just LOVE and APPRECIATE all the comments and requests and support of all my old and new fans. Keep On Simmin'! & Enjoy!
Easter Vacation
This year I'm taking a few days to visit Spain, and I don't intend to bring the laptop with me, so I'll be quiet for a few days. Some of my lots will be published next week, so if you have any questions just send me a PM and I'll make sure to give you an answer after I get back.Happy Easter everyone! :)

More Lots Under Construction...
Hi!Thanks to all who have aswered to the poll so far! I already see, what things are important and what less important! It will be so interesting to see (after a month or so), what the results will be. I will use the information so that I could build lots that meet your sims' needs!
I have new plans for the Rue d'Arles Collection of Houses, and I will submit both furnished and unfurnished versions, if possible. I have ideas concerning the Free Time EP - houses designed for certain hobbies and interests. I'd also like to furnish with custom TSRAA items, because that allows me to use color themes. I am sorry to say that Maxis basic game content does not quite offer that many possibilities.
I also got valuable advise from izazu and ladylombardi! That makes it possible to decorate the houses in a better way!!
I found wonderful new floor and wall designs from Lianaa's site, thanks to Clyne Fashions!!! I hadn't realized that Lianaa designs building items, too! (My sims have tons of her clothing designs in their closets...)
Well, I will jump into the great world of sims2 building and hope to be able to produce lots of lots that you find functional and nice in your game!!!!!!
Happy simming!
Tiina:)
I don't know if the masks that were featured as upcoming ever were released or not. I know I still have the files somewhere if they weren't, for whatever reason.
I posted a couple of Free Time and Bon Voyage firsts that I had. I'll try to remember to make some more interesting screenshots to share in the near future.
I'm not sure at this moment if/when I'll be creating custom content again. As you can see, I took a break from TSR. I took a break from Sims as well for a while.
So, no direct promises, but I will try to be around!
I am MESH Challenged
If anyone can make a mesh for me, I'd be so grateful. I've spent a considerable amount of time playing with MilkShape 3D, and I've come to the conclusion that unles someone is going to sit with me and show me the ins and outs of this program, I will never understand what to do.All I want to make is a skinny vertical painting. I tried to take The Lady on Red painting, and change the x to equal 0.5. This is EXACTLY the size I want the mesh to be, but as soon as I tried importing it into SimPE, something happened. The texture image was all screwy, and when I got it into the game, there was this weird shadow, and the image would appear under the original painting I cloned.
Needless to say, meshing does not appear to be my strongest area. Ok, ok, I should just never open MilkShape again, and leave it to the pros.
Can/Will anyone help me out?
So far so good
No issues with the new clothing set. No feedback regarding problems. Good to see. Maybe I have this set thing down now...Yay!
I've been wanting a minisite to play with for awhile now, and today I finally was able to buy my new toy! There's a few new things to get familiar with on how this little site works and what all things I can do with it, but its gonna be fun! Of course I don't expect anyone but me will look at it much!Right now I am doing recolors of other peoples meshes, but I will eventually move on to making my own meshes!
Yay!
Nightclub & Casino Prints
Continuing in the business-themed prints, next up is a selection of nightclub and casino prints featuring drinks and gambling games. They're pretty slick-looking, IMO, and framed in simple glass frames to continue the slick appearance and make them easy to fit into a variety of interior designs. Releasing tomorrow, Thurs., Mar. 20'08.
I'm Still Here
I have been working on some more recolors, but I haven't had time to get the pictures taken for them yet. I should be able to get to it this weekend. Things have been very hectic in real life and I haven't had a moment to spare for anything, it seems.I appreciate all the comments you have left and will try to get them answered soon.
Just please be patient with me as I am taxed to the limit at the moment. Things will smooth out over time, I'm sure.
Sports park!
I've made a nice place for your sims to work out and play a few ball games too.It features two basketball courts and two soccer kicks and a large custom pool too.
Inside the workout building are two bars for drinking the latest sports drinks (not really) and working out on the various machines upstairs.
Two bathrooms and two shower rooms round out the inside as well.
Soon as I make the polishing touches I'll place it in the submission area
My Avatar
I just wanted to say thank you to hiedibear for making me a new avatar. She worked very hard on it for me as a surprise. Nope, those are not MY babies in the pictures, but they sure look like them! She made it for me about a week or so ago, but I waited till I got my mini site so it would be new too!
What a Milestone
A million downloads?! I am blown away. Thank you to all the wonderful people who have downloaded my creations for their game, and left such kind comments. Wow, amazing!Buckles
This is the second set of conversions of my Bohemian Teen tops to make them available for adults and young adults. This is an unusual single-shouldered top with one 3/4 length sleeve, contrast trim and buckle detail. It comes in the original teen pink and chocolate versions along with six new colour combinations. These are simple re-colours of the gorgeous Maxis University single sleeved buckle top which I've always loved. I've just changed the colours and added contrast trim.
These tops use a standard Maxis mesh and are base game compatible.
Chapter 25 update
So i've promised numerous times to have this chapter done. I've been working on it and during my photoshooting I found that I really didn't like how I portrayed Cassandra in the beginning of the chapter. So I am rewriting the beginning and it might also mean another chapter. I'll keep you all posted through my blog.2 Million Downloads! Plus Recolours Galore!
Well, I've finally passed the 2 million download mark. Quite a nice milestone! Thank you to everyone who enjoyed my creations enough to download and use them. I hope you've all enjoyed them.
Coming back Slowly, very slowly
I can barely move at the moment, and sitting in my computer chair for any lenth of time longer than 10 minutes is quite painful, but I promised I'd be back in a week, and I don't like to break promises.I'll be doing my best to put out a wall set that I've been working on called Indoor Oasis. I have a couple other wall sets that are near completion and I may attempt to upload this week. It all will depend on how bad I feel.
I have several paintings that I'd like to share, and a few new rug sets. Hopefully, little by little each one will go up.
Thanks to all of you who have shown me such great support and have wished me well. I truly appreciate the gesture and I'm thankful that I've been able to find such genuine people here at TSR.

Take care,

Poll-What For?
Ok, here I'll tell you what it's for. I made this up so it will be a help to what my next upcoming creations will be..like which one is the popular one and which one is not...so on...So far..the Hair-Recolour set(the only one) is slightly more than the eye-colours..and I'm already thinking of submitting a new hair re-colour, so that is what it is about. So if you haven't make your choice..why not vote? =]
