New Year Basegame!
Getting back into business again! Now I'm installing one expansion at the time, doing recolors for that specific expansion plus building one lot for each. A basegame-only lot is already uploaded.I installed Uni today, and once I get my house back in order (doing some serious re-decorating and major cleaning), I'll build something for students.
Wish you all a very happy Simmin' year!!

30,000 Downloads!
I wanted to ring in the New Year right by THANKING EVERYONE who has taken the time to acknowledge my humble Mini-site simply by leaving me a message in my GB, posting comments on my creations, clicking the thank you button or downloading them! I woke up this morning and saw that I had hit 30,000 DL's today, which may seem like nothing to you, but it means the w�rld to me, being that I'm exposed very little. So I want you all to know that I appreciate you, I hope that you have a very prosperous New Year and I hope that you will visit me again soon!

New Year
I would like to start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone. I would also like to say that thanks to everyone who liked and downloaded my creations i was able to buy this mini site. Which has given me the excitement to make new skins, houses and even more paintings as i do not know how to make other objects. I would also like to say a big thanks to cashcraft for her beautiful new objects, if you have not seen her stuff then you should they are fantastic. Happy New Year and may it be a great one for you all. Thank you to all who supported my work. cheers to all, sheri
2008
Just thought that I'd make my first blog of the year this very second. It's 1:04 a.m. and here I am, after watching the ball drop of course, on TSR. Tsk, Tsk, what a junkie I am!
Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! 2008, I can't believe it :DI hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday season.
In 2008 I hope to have time to make more sim creations for your enjoyment.
Look for more creations soon.
Happy New Year!
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I hope 2008 is a wonderful year for you. Hugs always, queenie

Manor House Sets
Q: When will the Manor House sets will be released?A: The more blinkies in my guestbook, the later it'll be relased!!
No, I'm kidding =P (Although, I still hate those blinkies! =[)
The real answer is, I'll release the sets when I finish them!
I know a lot of people are interested in these sets, but each set is interlinked with the others either by texture or similar styling.
My staunch perfectionism will not allow me to release them piece by piece.
In the mean time, I'll still be releasing other sets here and there, but when the MH sets are all finished and completed, you'll be glad I took the extra time to get it done right =]
Jan. 1st, Vanity Fair Collection IV
Part IV of the Vanity Fair Collection is the master bedroom. The bedroom suite features a vintage bed with a large cushioned headboard and a dark wood recolor of the headboard. A nightstand with deco slots, fainting couch (loveseat), slipper chairs, armoire (dresser), vanity table with 2 deco slots and a trio of decorative pictures complete the bedroom collection. Don't forget you can use the bathtub canopy with the Vanity Fair bed frame for that WOW factor! The vanity table and armoire require the University EP. All other objects are base game compatible. Good News! If you are enjoying the Vanity Fair Collection so far, you can look forward to additional parts to the collection. I am now working on Vanity Fair Collection Part V and plan to release it sometime in January 2008. Happy New Year! Wishing you a joyous, blessed and prosperous year! Carolyn
Bed Frame Recolor in Dark Wood & with an off-white bed skirt.

Happy New Year!
I would like to take this time to wish everyone a prosperous, safe and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to another great year hear at TSR.Bring on 2008...
Time to think about New Years Resolutions! Hmmmmm...
Just bought myself a Minisite!!
I have no clue to just how long I have been saving up for this, but when I finally had enough I just sat on it pondering if I really wanted on or not. Well, seeing how SimHost is no longer around I thought I would just go for it and upload my new stuff here. If I ever find the CD's that did have the items I made when I ran Mocha Sims, I will upload those as well. I am not sure just how long it will take for all my current downloads to appear on here, but from what I gather it usually takes a day or two.Happy Simming to all!
Happy New Year!
Hi everyone! First, let me offer you my best wishes for the year to come ; may 2008 be filled with joy, health and everything good! (chocolate anyone?) I am celebrating the beginning of a new Sims Year by sharing my newest set, "Coming Wind", with you all. It's an other set for elder ladies, and still no mesh or EP required! Yippee!
Focusing On Men Again (Preview)-New Year's Resolution
I'm bringing it back to the basics for our male Simmies. I know their always neglected, but I swore to my men that I would spare them and take real good care of them this New Year. I WISH I knew how to mesh, but since I don't, I scoured the net in search of friendly meshers who don't mind me using their bases. So with that said- I bring to you another preview with PLENTY of thanks to Lueppi. This New Year's... devote a resolution to the Male Sims in your life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I will try and have one, as I have been deathly ill with the flu all Christmas week! Could not even eat Christmas dinner!! WAH!AS for my resolution? it is boring and standard, to lose weight. I have started already before Xmas, I only mention it here to remind myself to stick with it. It is only the last few years I have been gaining weight, and it has to stop.
As for VAN HELSING Because I have been sick I am behind, will try and finish it up after the New Year, and post the conclusion ASAP. I am toying around with a western, (as you can tell from my latest screenshots) whether I will post it, who knows?
I am also behind in reading my buddies blogs...same reason posted above, it is on my list!
Got Celebrations stuff pack for Xmas, my family asked if I wanted any EP's I said no!? Shocking isn't it? So far I have only 2 EP's, and I think that is all I will stick with. If it wasn't for creating objects and stories, I wouldn't be playing. I cannot remember the last time I just 'played the game'.
That's it for this week...Happy New Year...Cheers!
SimCity Societies... and a new BLOCK series!
I have some stuff upcoming for your sims this new year! (not really the New Year, but this coming year.)Before I reveal some of my PLANNED projects, forst of all, I would like to extend my biggest congratulations to our friends over at EA for creating such a wonderful game, SimCity Societies! If you haven't tried it out yet, I BEG you, buy and try it! It is definitely worth your money!
Anyway... you can expect these lots after I get over my SimCity Societies madness...
My new BLOCK series, which will be called: BLOCK HILLS (I cant really find the guts to get rid of the BLOCK word... LOL)
A continuation of my EXTRAVAGANCE SET (maybe 2-4 lots)
A new SERIES (I mean it, COMPLETELY NEW!) that will be called (working title..)... I won't reveal the title yet, on second thought! Have fun speculating what that will be!
Anyway, that's all for now in the world of Alyosha.
Happy Simming and a WONDERFUL AND BLESSED NEW YEAR 2008!
Alyosha. :)
Happy New Year
I just want to wish all of my loyal downloaders and fellow simmers a Happy New Year! There will be lots of new stuff coming in 2008 and I look forward to hearing from all of you. Have a great time at your new years celebrations whatever they may be!Back !
After almost two years away from Sims2 clothing creations, I'm back and hopefully still able to make something out of my two hands ;-)
I'm almost on pregancy leave, baby boy due in April, and enjoying the work on new creations for your Simmies !
So see you soon ! ^_^
Merry Christmas, a happy new Year and a big thank you^^
Thank you all^^I got over 60 comments since i pubished my last set.
I'm so happy that you like my stuff, and i hope all of you will have a great 2008.
For me it'll be a year full of changes, i'll have my exams and maybe i'll start going to university.
I'm a bit scared, but i hope it'll be a good new year for me ;)
I'll still create clothes and with the help of some nice friends, i'm currently working on meshes.
Because of christmas, family, work and preperation for the new years eve, it was difficult to submit a new set, but be sure, it'll come soon :)
Happy new year, tschib
Seasons Match Items
Well, I have done MM (OFB Mission Match) items. I am now doing SM (Seasons Match) items. Started with appliances and branching out to most of the furniture etc that I did for MM. (rec items, pianos, clock, aquarium, etc.) I know, large project, so please be patient. As long as my health is good, I will recolor!I will also be doing requests in between. Need to keep busy. LOL!!
Thanks for all the support and downloads. You are a fantastic group here at TSR!
World of Warcraft Pictures
Released today were 4 world of warcraft photos for your walls.They are all recolors of Maxis items so nothing special is needed for them to work in the game, just download and enjoy!
I will probably update the screenshots of them because they appear dark for some reason.
The four are:
- A blood elf portrait based on a wallpaper from the WoW trading card game.
- One I title "Moonlight Sonata" and is a screenshot from the game of my blood elf standing in front of the moon with my best in-game friend.
- Another is a panorama of Thunder Bluff and was taking from a wallpaper featuring the same picture.
- Finally the last, is my character Cl�ver standing in the winter clothes in Orgrimmar
Secret Santa
Now that Christmas is over (almost), along goes Secret Santa with it!I just wanna say thanks to R.Quest for her amazing present, two very different lots, very nicely done, I really love them :D
Here's the link to my post showing the presents off

Hope you all had a wonderful christmas :D
First thoughts on Free Time
I have to say, this is the first EP that adds something I have wanted� since the first day I bought The Sims 2 -- Sports and other stereotypically "guy" activities. I know ladies do these things too, but so much of the game is already so heavily gender-biased toward the ladies, as the recent poll on my member-page at TSR shows male-oriented content of every sort is a much needed addition. The poll clearly indicates the majority of players feel male-oriented content was/is seriously lacking from TS2.The way I see it, only Nightlife� and Seasons� EPs are the must-haves� released to date. They are the only ones that add to the immersion and verisimilitude of the game, FreeTime EP looks to finally add something that is equally important for game immersion and verisimilitude: Real-life activities...
Sure, the other EPs add things, I even like some of them, but I don't consider them must-have.
Other than the bugs due to inadequate QA testing -- which we all know to expect at this point, the only thing I am hating about this new EP is the return of the dreaded, miserable Sad-Clown NPC... I have been finding creative ways to kill him since the original game.
I will be watching for the first mod to nix that hateful so-and-so... I hope it involves fire and explosives >_<
I'm sure it is just a matter of time before the annoying Mime and Saxaphone player make their return. We already have Mrs/Ms. Crumplebottom, and she has all the charm of a real-life Gladys Kravitz (USA TV-series "Bewitched" reference). I have a great affection for all the NPCs... an affection I might say is equal in every way to the affection I have for bathroom tile mildew.
Thank you Evi!
I hope you all had a magical Christmas and that 2008 will be full of excitement, love and peace for everyone! I was extremely spoiled by my very special Secret Santa, Evi, whom I have admired for ages for all her amazing kids creations! She created a set of special Christmas PJs for the sim version of my real kids :-) They are over the moon with 'their' PJs and I just love it! Thank you so much for this amazing gift I will always treasure it.
Beach Lot Neighborhood
I tried my hand at making a neighborhood and this is the end result. Are you tired of the neighborhoods in the game having only a few spots for beach lots? Well look no farther because with my beach lot neighborhood you can have 82 3x5 beach lots side by side (obviously overkill),62 4x5 beach lots , 50 4x5 beach lots or 40 6x5 beach lots. You can also have a jumble of mismatched lots all thrown in together if you so like! lol On top of that there's always room for regular lots in the middle of the hood and there's also a separate section of road for placing a secret lot if you like . You will need a neighborhood camera hack to see the entire neighborhood in all it's glory but you should be able to place a large number without the hack too.
Hope you enjoy and Thanks to Hatshepsut for setting me straight on the download specifications!
My HK Yahoo Blog for my Little Baby

Thanks for all your patience. Any problems let me know.

Building New Creations
Hi guys, I've recently gotten back into the game again and have started making creations.Please continue to check back for more items, including lots of World of Warcraft themed items.
Long Absence
As some of you poor folks who read this or visit my minisite may have noticed my very sporadic absence of late...Apart from my grandma passing away, Some of you may be aware that I am not the healthiest person going, but recently i have not been well. my OA has been very bad, the medications arent really helping much, and i have been left exhausted by the time i have got home from work. I also have stomach problems which have resluted from years of prescribed medications and that has been giving me a riugh time recently too, so creating as well as simply playing Sims has been on the backburner for some time now.
I have creations almost ready to go, the male versions of my Spiral Tshirts are done, an I just have to take shots of them and make some preview pics and upload them here. I also have a half made nightclub itching to be finished off, so hopefully i will be able to do that soon too.
Baby Snoopy Sleeping Time Room Set
Hi all, my sister-in-law brought me a "BabySnooy Bedding set" for my little baby, so I recolor one for my Sim's baby too :D. Here is the preview picture, I still working on this and will come soon!! Enjoy.
CRASH KA-BOOM!!
So my computer finally crashed. Good thing I did some back-up just the days before. But you all know how annoying it still is, and the time it takes to install all the games! Also, there's some problem with my Sims 2 basegame CD:s, as the installation freezes at the control point. I managed to get around that, but the same happens with Uni... and I really need some of the objects from that expansion!!But alas, as it is raining and pouring, there really isn't anything else to do but to fix the computer. A fresh new hard-drive and some extra memory will keep me busy.
In some ways, it's quite liberating having to start from zero with the Sims 2. I'm somewhat of a collector and had too many things for the game. Maybe that even contributed to the overload...
Now I'm making a New Year's promise of not downloading ANY custom content that isn't my own.
I really won't bet on myself, though...! :-)

New Years Resolutions
It's that time of year again. So, here are my resolutions.1. I will quite smoking (again)
2. I will lose 20 pounds (again)
3. I will learn something new (or at least relearn something I forgot.)
I'll have to think of some more before the end of the year. That's enough lying for one day any way. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
The big pack.
Well it's started.....weeks & weeks of stress, house full of boxes & getting emptier everyday, mess & mayhem everywhere. Our first lot of boxes go on the 11th of January, we started packing just before Christmas day as my Hubby has got to go to Salisbury on the 1st January to do his Arabic language course, he'll be there for 5 weeks so I have the pleasure of all the packing.....lucky me!I will still be doing a little creating, especially when I need a break from it all but unfortunatly RL is my priority, my poor Sims are gonna feel so neglected LOL.
I hope you all had a really lovely Christmas.
Happy new year ...
As the title says, I wish you all here happy new year 2008, and your families too. I'm looking forward to meet you here on TSR and in our big "Simsworld" :). Be healthy, happy, satisfied, simply have the new year as beautiful as you want !Peggy Sims Recolours
Hey Guys,Some of you might be aware that Peggy Sims 2 is now Peggy Zone. This also means that all my links are useless now. So i am going to update all of the links but it's going to take some time. So please be patient with me. I know it must be frustrating but these things happen. So if you aren't able to find the new meshes then just sit tight and the new links should be up soon.
Thanks for your patience.
