Select Artist (SA)

To be a featured artist or even a select artist would be so cool ;]

Seriously, I can't make photos of my lots to save my life. :P No, I'm not talking about screenshots---yeah, I know how to do that. But to make all those cool collages and things that everyone else does... I'm a total idiot when it comes to these kinds of things. I tinker around because I don't know what on earth I'm doing. Hence, the really awful, snicker-worthy photos I've created of my upcoming lot "Marcoset Farm". So, forgive me! I promise this is one of the better lots I've created, at least recently. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, and I hope that it will be something you'll enjoy playing!

New updates coming!

Hi everyone! First, thank you all for your comments!
I really, really appreciate it! I'm glad you are liking my little work :-)

Also, I wanted to say how sorry I am for the so few updates since the begginning of September. As you may have guessed, I'm really busy between school and work and life! With little free time I have, I usually play the sims or write the new updates on my legacy.

But, the good news is, I have new updates coming! Toddlers dresses and more! I hope you'll be pleased by those too!

Thank you everyone! :-)

So Much Talent!

I've been browsing some of the lots here at TSR and I have come across so many beautiful lots, not too mention, very, very talented artists! I am increasingly amazed at the architecture of some of the lots and I always wonder, "How did they do that?!" I am a big fan of srgmls23 and the architecture there on his profile. Take a minute and check out his site here on TSR and you'll see what I mean. I also want to take a little time here to express to the other very talented lot builders how big of an inspiration they are to me, and how I strive with every single lot of mine to make it more interesting than the one before. I can see how I've grown in my own right as a builder and can only thank the other builders here for my ever-increasing need to "fine tune" my talent and creativity. It's a bit of a challenge for me, if you will, to be as good as those around me, and I can name so many artists who have taught me SO SO much just by example (and it didn't hurt to ask, how did you do that?)....Tiko, dinad2610, iZazu, srgmls23, hatshepsut, MonteBoy24, Pinecat, Madisim, Alyosha, Huabanzhu...and I can probably name so many more. Thank you so much everyone!!!!

Retro Theme

I can't tell you how happy I am to be part of the Select Artist family! As some of you probably know already, we were allowed to have our first theme week here on TSR. We ended up choosing the Retro Theme, which you can find here. Also, if you're interested in my contributions for this theme, you can check out my very own Retro Theme section.

Have fun everyone and happy simming! :)

....and i am back online

Hello again,

With quite a delay, I am back online, well the computer has been online since august, but our roof was falling off, so we spend all our days, evenings and even nights setting up a new roof, as we never tried it before (in game doesn't count in the real world - I got that after the second day :) ), it was quite a job, and still is, but what can you expect, 2 nerds trying to be handy - it takes many hours reading, putting up roof, taking down roof and putting it up againg :) but now we got it - we think :D and I am back.

Thank you all for your sweet comments on my work, I have tried to whrite back to most of you, but if i missed, thank you!!! i really appriciate that you take your time to leave feedback.

SA RETRO THEME WEEK!

I am sooo excited to be part of the first ever TSR SA RETRO THEME WEEK! I would like to thank Thomas and the whole TSR staff for giving us SAs the opportunity to have our very own theme! Look out for exciting new creations from the SAs here in TSR! So far, I have made 2 bedroom sets for this one, all recolors! Check them out and a couple of other retro creations as well!

Crazy Clutter Collection

I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while, to make a bunch of "clutter" decor objects out of both new custom meshes I'd make from scratch, and existing in-game item meshes. And then the aspiration failure objects tapped me on the shoulder and said hello... So here's the first clutter collection, focusing mainly on crazy items like the sack baby, cup buddy, mop lover, and so forth. It also includes a few "normal" objects like coffee cups and darts... and Mrs. Crumplebottom's purse. All objects in the collection are base game compatible; unfortunately, this does mean that they can't be placed on OFB shelving without the aid of Numenor's "Custom objects placeable on OFB displays and shelves" hack from MTS2. They can, however, be placed on floors, end tables, coffee tables, dining tables, desks, counters, and mantelpieces (except for the lone wall-mounted cardboard grilled cheese sandwich).

Modernish Kitchen Set Preview

Well, I have a rough preview of the Modernish Kitchen Set. I hope to have it submitted soon, and I hope you will enjoy it when it is published. That's it for now! Happy simming! ~simmyfan2852~

This week...

This week, I should be submitting the Modernish Kitchen Set. I only have one last mesh to finish. But, I may go back and tweak some of the other meshes I made. I will have a preview for you all tonight!

That's it for now
Happy simming!
~simmyfan2852~

Yay!

I finally have enough kudos to upgrade to a mini-site. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded my stuff and especially those who left comments.

Hopefully you'll seen new creations from me on a regular basis. The first of which will be finishing out all bathroom fixtures to match Shannanigan's retro colors.

Pyjama Party Part 3

After I submitted my first Pyjama Party set, someone commented that they would like to see a version with full length pants. I thought that was a great idea, so here it is!



Although this set has some elements in common with the previous two Pyjama Party sets, most of the items are entirely new. There are four styles of full length baggy pyjama bottoms, each with a choice of two different co-ordinating tops.

All items are available for adult and young adult females. You will need a mesh created by Kate at Parsimonious. Go to their meshes page and download mesh_k8parsfapbaggypj031205, which is the far right mesh in the second row.

Select Artist Retro Theme Week

The TSR Select Artists have all been hard at work to create lots, clothing and object for the Retro Theme Week.

From my side there is a Retro night club (Club Neutron) and 7 pieces of clothing for girls, teens and adult sims.

I hope everyone will enjoy our creations.

Best wishes,
Strawbz

Custom Objects

Hello, I know I haven't had a new blog or creation. But I just got a new computer and my friend as my sims. I'll have to go get it from him. I also wanted to know if anyone will want to make come cutom objets for me lol? I'll sned pictures of objects that I would want then you can send me the file, if anyone wants to help that would be great thanks :].

- Roboty

Grate Stuff

I decided to try my hand at creating some semi-transparent floor tiles. My 1st attempts some time ago were something of a disaster, but if at 1st you don't succeed dose yourself up on a bucketful of coffee and try again!

Look out for these coming soon:

Update

I am trying so hard to open my computer repair business lately. I have not had time for Sims 2 or anything else in my life. lol That is not to say I haven't been creating but it very sparingly and only when I have a moment or two. So projects are going very slowly. Hopefully soon I'll have the business open and I can get the projects finished. Some are near completion but need to be tweaked here and there. I can assure you there will be loads of stuff as soon as I get a little spare time. Thanks for waiting!!!!

New Lots Real Soon!

I have been working on a few things, and I have two lots ready for upload!

Little Blue House released

Little Blue House is now available to download. Hope you like it! More things soon (I hope...) Take care! Hannah

SO excited!

To my surprise, I've been appointed as an SA! It's truly an honor, and im so excited - actually, I'm giddy, lol. It's going to take a little time for me to create and upload my upcoming designs - gotta make sure the "homefront" is ok first, but I have lots of ideas, and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you all! I hope you'll enjoy them, and thank you so much for your kind comments and support!

Cast of Heroes

As requested in the Skinning forum here at TSR, this week I am working on faces for the cast of the tv show Heroes. Previews will be posted soon.

Mohinder Suresh played by Sendhil Ramamurthy


Sylar played by Zachary Quinto


Niki Sanders played by Ali Larter

Back Again

Back from sunny Fl, where it rained the entire time I was there.Had a great time in spite of the weather. Working on something special the Select artists are planning..shhhhh

Adult female undewear collection No. 1

First I'd like to say thank you to everyone who signed my guestbook to congratulate me! I was so surprised, happy and very honored to be chosen. It's a wonderful feeling. :D Now to the underwear...I'll upload these as soon as I finish the pictures. I must warn you that some of them are thongs in the back.

Work in progress - modern wheelchair

This actually was requested by several people, so here you go, I'm working on a new wheelchair :). The chair will not move but simply act as an armchair. Also I had to lower the footrest to fit the sim pose. But other than that I think the wheelchair looks close to the real thing.

Poll Result

First of all I would like to thank all the 141 people who voted in my poll asking how many items they like in a set.The results are as follows:- 2-4 - 6.38%,4-8 - 18.44%,8-12 - 8.51%,doesn't matter- 65.25%,don't download sets- 1.42% which shows that most people do download sets and they don't really mind how many items there are in a set as long as they like them

A Huge Thank You To All!

I just want to thank to everyone who kept supporting me with their comments and GB entries. I don't have too much time so I can't reply to comments as I always did. So thanks again everyone!! I really appreciate your comments!! And thank you for taking time to write them! Kisses & Hugs :wub: Simal :)

Last 4 chapters

Yes, it will end. I have the last four chapters all planned out in my head. (And fingers crossed) hope to have them all done within the next four weeks, maybe a chapter a week. I'm really excited about my ideas and how I plan to surprise you. Yes, there are still some tricks up my sleeves.

Heres how they go:
Chapter 22: The Unpleasantness
Chapter 23: The Reunion
Chapter 24: The New Life
Chapter 25: The Happy Ending

I'm also planning on an epilogue to show how all the characters throughout the story make out.

Upcoming Set....

Firstly I just want to apologise for the lack of updates in the last week, I've been really busy this week. I might not have as many updates for about the next two weeks as I'm going to collect a new 65 Gallon Aquarium I bought off eBay tomorrow, only �50 too so I'm really pleased with my bargain! So I will be busy cleaning and setting that up. :D Can't wait to start setting that up and add fish!! :) Anyway back to Sims... my next and first set as a new Select Artist will be available to download from the 10th November. It's a pink and white recolour of my Heart Bedroom. A little preview is below, hope you all like it! :)

Nov. 11th, Prepare To Be Charmed

LOL! The Vintage Charm Bedroom collection is scheduled for publication on November 11th. The set is a mixture of vintage and traditional furniture. The set features multiple prints and textures in shades of blue and white. It is a clean, fresh and charming set a Sim will love, hopefully. The Vintage Charm Bedroom set started out as a small set blending a few new meshes, with recolors of some old favorites and a lost treasure. Occasionally, I will create an object for a set and later realize the object is not quite ready for primetime. The Vintage Charm dresser was originally created for my Victorian Inspired Nursery set. After creating the dresser I promptly forgot it and it sat for months hidden under gigabytes of other junk...er...treasures. So, I dusted off the mesh, created a new texture and added it to the Vintage Charm collection of furniture and furnishings. Yes, a hidden treasure is now revealed. ;-) The dresser requires the Open For Business EP. For additional information and to view screen shots of the Vintage Charm Bedroom collection visit my forum, Cashcraft�s Victorian Tea Room.

The Big Move

Hi again everyone...Hope y'all are doin all right today. It's November, nearly my birthday, and it's cold outside!

My College classes are keeping me busy, as if the kids didn't give me enough to do. It is with heavy heart that I announce that I will probably not be uploading to TSR for some time. But WAIT! There's more! I *will* however, be uploading to Simaholicsrus.com. Because of my busy schedule, I don't have an hour to upload my recolors to TSR. SRU's format is a little different. You get the whole set, no matter what! none of this picking and choosing stuff, so i don't have to have a pic for every little thing I create. Saves lots of time. As a bonus, the site is FREE. No subscriptions, no registration, no nothing. you show up, you download, you sign the guestbook, you play Sims. Piece O' Cake!

There are also some other wonderful artists on SRU that may upload content exclusive to SRU. Stop by and see us!

I will be periodically checking this site (i still love the wonderful comments you guys leave, and do my best to respond to every one), and I may be back in the future!

XOXO

Kitchen Mondo - Additions next week

Get some recols and kitchen additions next week
Have a nice weekend!

Ogularama.com

As i've been dropped as a Select Artist, you will be able to find my recent object going to ogularama.com . Expect two major sets appearing soon - Chinese and 60's.

Back - With a kitchen!

Hi! Sorry for my long absence - had to do several jobs the last weeks ... But now my jobs are done and I have a new kitchen for you. Ready to download next weekend ;-) Sasi

Recoloring

Last few days I got my self to try and do some more recoloring. I'm not an expert jet, but I hope you'll like my work. My first clothing recolor is comming up very soon.

2 Million Downloads!

Whoot! An exciting milestone to announce - thanks to all you great Sims fans, players and downloaders out there, I'm proud to say I've passed the 2 million download mark; how thrilling! Thank you SO much for all your support, enthusiasm and suggestions!

More creations are on their way - I'll try to catch up on the Hallowe'en creations I had planned, I have some retro themed things lined up and last night I started to sketch out some of my Christmas creations so stay tuned for more shortly.

Red Dress

After I submitted my L.B.D. set, someone commented that they would like to see something similar in red. Well, here it is!



This is a set of six glamorous cocktail dresses, similar to the L.B.D. set and using some of the same meshes. All the meshes are Maxis meshes, except for my old favourite ShortBallGown mesh by Chriko at 2-f0r-u.de (page 8 in the female adult fashion meshes section). One mesh requires Nightlife, one requires University, one requires Glamour Life Stuff (I've been dying to recolour this one for ages) and two are base game compatible. There is a range of styles, so something for everyone, I hope!

All the dresses are available for adult and young adult females and are categorised under formal wear.

SAU Is Back Up!

Hey Everyone,

Just to let anyone who reads this know that the Sims Artists Union is back up and the links work. I am going to resubmit my Felicity Hair Set.

Thanks to those who have been very patient - although there are a few who haven't been so understanding.

Enjoy my Sets - hopefully it stays up.

Thanks,

Louise

First Clothings

Today, I uploaded my first set of clothings. I hope you like hem. Since they are first, please don't be too harsh on them. :)

Select Artist

I only found out about 15 minutes ago that I have been chosen to be a Select Artist, I'm still in total shock! lol! It's like a dream as I never thought my items were good enough, that's proved me wrong! :P Thank you very much to the people at TSR who picked me to be a SA, I'm very grateful! :) Also thanks to you guys who download my items and for all the lovely comments you leave! :D
