Groovy Stuff Set 2
I am pleased to announce that I am almost finished with the Groovy Stuff Set 2. I hope to have it submitted later this week. Later today, I hope to have a preview of most or all of the set up!All I have left it is to finish two meshes, and tweak the other meshes if need be.
Also, I will be releasing other sets soon that are recolors of certain objects from the Groovy Stuff Set 1 and 2.
That's it for now!
Happy simming

On Vacation by still submitting
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am currently on vacation. I'm at my parents in Minnesota for a family gathering. I should be back home either Monday July 16 or Tuesday July 17. Even though I am away from home, I still have things I'm submitting. The next two weeks will see skins from the television show Alias that I have had at my Yahoo group, and am now moving over here to TSR. The first set of skins will be from Seasons 1 and 2. The second set will be from Seasons 3 and 4. I'll be submitting the cast faces the following week, when I return home.More Work
My part time job seems to have turned into a full time job or one with odd hours. The hours are never the same so I can't get into a routine which really messes with my sims creating. Days off are spent on cleaning house and getting ready for the next time I work which usually is the next day. Hopefully as soon as inventory is done then I will have a more permanent schedule which in turn will allow me to get my creating back on track.I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying playing the sims with all the wonderful things being created by other artists. Happy simming!!!
Coastal Lots
Well, following the trend, I've made a coastal lot. It's a home business sat out in the sea with an outdoor pool and lots of fun objects downstairs. Instead of a shop though, it's more of an arcade style business. People can dance to the DJ, play the games machines, cook themselves up some burgers and sit out on the patio and enjoy the view. Upstairs is a one bedroom apartment with nice sea views.
Pimp-My-Sims Trend Shop
Texture Challange #48 inspired me to a shop. I got a draft sate up to now...
Gift to Kate
This is a gift to my friend--Kate,and Congrats her on becoming a SA!I used hers and some of ephemera's beautiful screenshots to created my new mesh on wall, Kate,wish you like them~!
and Caselle in Storm:
Have an AMAZING day!
Uploaded Chapter 14
All I can say is that I love New York and am so glad to be home. I took some time and finished chapter 14 and uploaded it today. So hopefully it will bw published soon. I will also be starting chapter 15 ASAP.Poly poll results, new poll
Here are the results to the poly poll question:Question: Do you know and understand about poly counts?
yes 62.38% (63)
no 25.74% (26)
what are polys? 11.88% (12)
Question: If you said yes to number one, do you pay attention to poly counts when downloading here or elsewhere?
Yes, I try to keep low poly objects/hair in my game 13.86% (14)
No, my system can handle higher poly items/hairs 24.75% (25)
I mostly download low poly but will download the occasional high poly item 22.77% (23)
I pay no attention whatsoever 19.8% (20)
So, if you combine the No's with the What are polys? people you can see that 38% of people either don't understand poly counts or don't even know what a poly is. We need to educate!
Interestingly, most people either like or can handle higher poly items or just download and pay no attention to poly counts. Must be nice, because my old laptop really needs those lower poly items.
The new poll is a bit on the lighter side and has to do with my new sets coming out once a week.
Harry Potter Collection - Mrs Figg's House
**Order of the Phoenix spoiler warning** Harry always thought Mrs Figg was just a batty old lady that lived on her own and loved cats. However, in OOTP we find out she is in fact a squib, a non-magical person born from magical parents, who was asked by Professor Dumbledore to keep an eye on Harry while he was living in Privet Drive. Since the house is only two streets away from Privet Drive I decided to keep it in a very similar style, although since this is starter home it is smaller and furnished for an old lady with cats.
Happy simming everyone,

Elizabeth Rose Bridal Recolors
I am working on a few extra recolours for my "Elizabeth Rose Bridal" Collection. So far, I have completed the Bridesmaid Collection in pretty pastel shades. The set will be released on Monday 9th July.Next, I will be working on some flower girl gowns and Lingerie. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have the whole Elizabeth Rose Bridal Collection completed and released.
Will keep you posted.
a HUGE mistake
The mesh for my "Valentino Spring Summer 2007 [03]" is the 26th mesh of Liana's not the second one!!I'm really really really sorry!!
Candle set part I
I love candles. So, tomorrow will be the first submission of a multi-part candle set. Every week a new part of the giant set will be published. All different types of candles! The first offering this week is a spiral candle base with four candles and several recolors of those candles.Hello all! :)
Hiya!Think time to have own place on TSR has come! =)
I have a lot of great ideas waiting for embodiment, so wish me to find time on it please! :)
Hope you enjoy my creations!
Groovy Stuff Set 2 Coming Soon!
Now that I have submitted the Open for Business Set 8, I have begun work on the Groovy Stuff Set 2. So far, I have nearly finished the desk mesh, moon rug mesh, and bookcase mesh. I still have several more meshes to make, and I may add a few more meshes if I come up with new ideas.After that, I will work on the Video Gamer's Room, with plenty of Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros fan-dedicated decor. I think that will be an interesting set!
That's it for now!
Happy simming!

How to build the Lighthouse
To build the lighthouse you need the Lighthouse Build set and the Invisible window and door set. Don't forget the collection files! The meshes will not clog up your catalogs with stuff that is not used very often. They will only appear in the collection files. 1. Make sure you have a flat piece of ground of at least 7x7. Build with normal walls a shape like in this picture.
2. Place the round wall segments agains the walls. You place them on the inside, they show up on the outside. You can use either the normal ones or the one with windows in it.
3. Place the wall segment with the door opening.
4. Use the invisble window on all maxis walls (except for the dooropening), so they will "disappear".
5. Place the door with the arrow pointing to the outside of the lighthouse.
6. Fill the floortiles inside the maxis walls.
7. Use the "floor ring" to cover up the unfilled floortiles.
8. Repeat these steps for as many levels as you want your lighthouse to have. For higher levels you may need to first place the floor tiles before placing the wall segments.
9. On the top level you can place the spinning light (needs Nightlife). You might need to use moveobjects on to place it.
10. Place the top part at the top.
11. Your lighthouse is ready! You still need to place the stairs. For that you can use the modulair stairs, in combination with a foundation (use the lower floor ring if you have a foundation part in the middle). Or you can use some custom stairs. Spaik made some fantastic 3-tile stairs, which will fit in perfectly in the Lighthouse.
Heart of Stone
Not my heart, hopefully.When I began creating stuff for the Sims, I made a couple of sets of stone floors called as the title of this blog entry. They weren't that bad, but I wasn't at all satisfied with them, since they were in general too plain and there were a few of them which were not seamless.
I finally found the time to fix and revamp them; I've substituted those that weren't seamless, and added some depth to the others. In the end, even if the sets date late 2005, they are completely new.
Fingernail Files Show Up In the Glasses Section of CAF/CAS
Hi folks,I neglected to mention in my downloads where you will find your new fingernails for your Sims once you install them. They will be located in your CAS/CAF (Create a Sim/Create a Family)area in Bodyshop. I believe it's in the second part of area 4 (the makeup area) under the glasses selection.
Also, please remember that you must get the fingernails mesh at Sims 4 Rent. The internet address is on the THS download page information. Entry to Sims 4 Rent and to download the mesh are both FREE. I will never refer anyone to a site where you would have to pay for anything in order to use one of my creations. My many thanks go to ShadyLady for creating this great mesh!
I hope you enjoy these fingernails. I never felt my Sims were complete without realistic looking nails. Now I will have to come up with some for the men also.
If you are interested in special colors or designs let me know and I will see what I can do for you.
Thank you so much for visiting my site and for downloading my creations. Your comments are ALWAYS listened to, appreciated, and taken to heart.

2nd Back to Basics Tutorial Published Tomorrow!
Indeed... The second tutorial is inflicted upon your good selves ttomorrow! this one goes more indepth and rather than my erm... blatant plagerism of maxis walls, I go about showing you (in a fashion) how to make your own walls from scratch! From finding the textures, the fancy pants cornicing etc plus several important notes and tips on unstretched walls, and submitting to TSR.Not a patch on Judi's ever so fantabulous walls, but hey! its a start!
On the work front - would you believe it? I am now a "Formally qualified DSE Workstation Assessor" Ooooooh!! Indeed I can now tell everyone how they should be sitting at their computers etc whilst I sit here, Laptop on a cushion, no wrist support, and I can without doubt say that when playing Sims2, i definately do not "take adequate breaks from my computer screen" oops!
I am back!
Hi everyone!Its true, I am finally back! I never really left in fact, I was just really occupied with work and family.
Anyways, thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments! I will have new things coming soon : clothes, eyes, make up, etc.
I hope you'll like them!
Have a nice summer time! :D
RL interrupts again!
The new WC Spotlight and poll will go up later today when I get a chance. Creating comes first though! *lol*Random thought:
Why do screenshots take so darn long? *lol* Longer than creating...
Back!
I just got back from vacation and had a great time with my two little nephews. I am ready to resume my current project which was placed on hold while I was gone. I hope to have it finished and up by this weekend.Happy Independance Day America!
Kitchen 01
These are nice two-toned walls with a simple white trim. Looks great in the kitchen, but will work well in other rooms of your Sims home. A simple, clean must-have for your Sims. Kitchen 01 in Blush:
and Kitchen 01 in Hosta:
Floors to be uploaded in the near future.
Have an AMAZING day!
Stairs, stairs and more stairs
It seems that I'm only able to build stairs. Since I knew that Select Artists were allowed to participate in the Marine Theme Week, and I saw the great stuff that was going to be published, it came to my mind that a folding staircase could be nice for lighthouses or those lots that resembles a boat. So I googled "folding stairs" and found images of how they looked like. It took me a while to mesh them, and there's no way that I can make the animations working (that would need a much smarted artist than I am), but I think that they turned out well in the end. They will be published tomorrow, with some wooden and some metal recolours; please, let me know what you think about them.
Toddler Move Toy
After a lot of fiddeling with slots and animations a managed to get this toy car that moves back and forward for toddlers. It adds fun and Mechanical skill. The toddler will climb upp and down and ride on it when playing.
Going on Short Sabbatical
For personal reasons, I have decided to go on a short sabbatical. I will not be creating anything new for at least two weeks with the possibility of as long as a month. I have uploaded and set all of my finished work to date for release in the coming days so you will have some things from me in the interim.You will more than likely see me lurking in the forum or get a comment/guest book entry from me if you have commented on my work, as I will still be around daily to check on things and communicate with friends.
I simply need a break to work some things out & get my head on straight.
Happy Independence Day to those of you in the U.S. and Happy belated Canada Day to my Canadian friends!
Cya around & as always, have fun simming!
Regards,
Stace
Billabong Wetsuits
I've been thinking a lot about what to make for Marine Week, and here's what I eventually came up with: a set of ladies' shorty wetsuits in eight colour combinations (including, of course, pink!)
These wetsuits can be worn by adult and young adult females and use a standard Maxis mesh (no expansions, stuff packs or downloads required). I've categorised them under swimwear.
I didn't manage to fix the problems I encountered after installing the Celebration! Stuff Pack, but the bump maps did reappear after I uninstalled it. However, in the process I have lost all my neighbourhoods including even the default ones so I think I'm going to have to reinstall everything from scratch. I can't believe a stuff pack could cause so many problems! My theory is that the problem resulted from installing Celebration! out of order as I don't have any expansion packs installed more recent than Nightlife.
Coming Soon
I know that a bathroom was the overwhelming winner of my last poll, but it's not coming together well. I've yet to find a bathroom set that not only inspires me, but flows together well as a whole set and is simple enough for me to make. I was working on the Anna bedroom from the previous poll before my hard drive failed on me. When that happened, I lost that entire folder. I'm not sure when/if I'll redo everything from that set. So as for now, I'm working on the Pablo Collection. I'll be doing it separately, though. I'm finishing up the couches from my living room set that I started long ago, and I'll be adding pieces from the Pablo Collection to it. Then I'll finish up the bedroom set and add the rest of the pieces from the collection to it. Here's a little teaser of what's to come:
Oh, and one more thing regarding the last poll ... I was surprised at how close wanting master/slave files to not wanting them was. I personally prefer not doing them, so that is what I'll continue to be doing for the majority of the sets from now on. However, the seating from the above set will be master/slave.
However, I'm trying to get Thomas to include a way to have two versions of one object in the next version of the site. If that happens, I'll be uploading files the way I have been in the past with an alternate that will not only be master/slave, but also updated for the latest expansion.
The Black Statue... This time it REALLY is serious!
Because of the very tight schedule I have right now, work on the fifth chapter is VERY VERY delayed... but, as I told you before, I WILL FINISH WHAT I STARTED! Maybe around the month of september to october, i will get to work on it again...*sigh*
I know what you're thinking, two more months to wait...
But here is a promise... the long wait will be worth it!
Happy Simming!
Greetings from Prague !
Thank you all, who wrote me a lot of beautiful comments on my creations, I am glad, you like them and I promise I'll upload some new items as soon as possible. I'm working on a few special floors and walls, it'll be a small summer update, but better small than nothing .... I have still a lot of work in my business, now I'm preparing with my friend some new models for a little autumn fashion show. We make clothes of natural materials especially flax and silk. I am going to make some of our creations for Simmies, I hope you'll like them. So, have great summer time and ..... see you soon !Nautical
I've created something for the Nautical/Marine Theme: a boat where sims can really sit in, including a version that can be used on lots with neighborhood water (ocean lots). And also some build material to build your own lighthouse with round walls. Yes, round walls! The walls will go down with the normal walls, so you can see your sims inside the building and see them climb their way up to the top, where they can freely walk around. Including also a lighthouse light, that spins around. I still need to finish a few details for these creations, so they will be published at the end of the week, probably thursday or friday.
Welcome to my page!
It's nice to be here at TSR, and sharing my work. Thank you so much for visiting and downloading my clothes. Enjoy them!
Fishing boat - The Marlin
In the Coastal Lots theme, I wanted to start adding some liveable boats and ships that are good homes for Sims, not just novelty items for the 'hood. :lol: The first is called The Marlin (how original!) and is a very comfy, if tight-spaced, home for 4 Sims - more if you want to build up the buildings on the shore. The most time was needed on getting the under decks living area weather-tight in Seasons. We have to provide stairs, but for this kind of fast fishing boat the bridge isn't sealed so the stairs aren't covered. I eventually realised that maritime designers know their stuff, so the stairwell is open to the elements, but the rooms are sealed!!! Here's a couple of piccies:

Thanks Cop Out
I just want to say "Thank you so much!" to all of those who have left me comments lately. I had way too many to answer individually after my short hiatus!Wow! I do really appreciate it! It encourages me to continue because now I know somebody out there actually likes my stuff!
*A special shout out to WytchOfTheNight & qt3.14: You guys are awesome!*
