Updated Contact Lenses
I've updated my two contact lens sets to now be multi-layerable. This means that they can now be worn with other full face costume makeups, both Maxis and custom. The new versions have already been uploaded so go download them now: Photo Realistic Contact Lenses and Feline Contact Lenses.Polls, TC44, and Spotlight news
A new poll is up with multiple questions this time. These are some basic "How do you like to do things?" style of questions so I can work on making this mini site better even faster. Here's the preview of my first TC44 set. It will be published on the 22nd of June. The masks and light shown in the Current project spot are uploaded and ready to submit. I want to do at least one more accessory to try and make the full TC44 set a bit more of a real room this time.
The new spotlight will be going up later today once I have a chance to get the pictures and proper names and urls all together.
Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!

Moving days
So I have bought my own house now :D, and I will be moving shortly, and in the beginning - no internet :( so from 1. of July to about the end of August, it will be quite sillent, but then I will retur, hopefully with a lot of recolors and maybee with some new meshes (with a little help from some of the fantastic people out here) there will be uploaded quite a lot before the 1 of July, rugs, room recollors, paintings, clothing and more :)The face of one woman, 10 looks
Hey guys! I decided to open a contest, and ask you to showcase your sim ladies, in ten different looks.Well, this contest is originally inspired by a Sunsilk ad, that is currently up in my area. It was originally "The face of one woman 100 looks" but as it will be boring to take 100 pictures of one sim, I made it 10.
If you wish to participate in my contest please visit:

Wood 01 Paneling
This two-toned with stainless steel inset paneling is so sharp that every Sim will be demanding it in their home. Wood 01 in Charcoal:
and Wood 01 in Puritan Pine:
(Flooring to be uploaded in the near future)
Have an AMAZING day!
Saga Living
Think I did a kind of final version but I'm not sure if it's worth uploading..
Got a bit further with the curtain but my first wood attempt came up too dark. And I forgot to load the overworked chairs, they should have wooden legs, not blue.

The Texture challange 45 was so inspiring, I got the courage to try a Helga86 recol. The chairs and sofas are not bad so far, but the woods need some better ideas.
Just Saying Hello
Just thought I'd say hello to everyone. It's been a while since I wrote and my last entry started with Grrr, which isn't very friendly, so I thought I'd just drop a line and say thank you to all the nice people who download and thanks and send me nifty comments and strange requests. I appreciate you all.I'd also like to thank all my friends in the Texture Challenge forum for putting up with me when I've been all out of sorts and telling me the truth about how to make things better. They are such a lovely bunch of people. If you are or plan to be a creator, that forum is a great place to start.
I would tell you here what I'm up to, but I'm in a state of indecision at the moment. (Those who know me will laugh at that. I'm ALWAYS in that state.) But I'll get a clue shortly and drop you a line and let you know. In the meantime, if there is anything you'd like to see, let me know. I may not be able to work it in right away, but I can usually get to it without too long a wait. (As long as it's within my abilities.) Nice talking to you!
Little Venice - Villa and Home Business
... nearly there. Just got to run a few Sims round the lot to check it's all working; hopefully, RL permitting, it will be on the site by the weekend :-)It looks MUCH less cluttered in game! I'm really pleased with the details in these lots but they're NOT easy to photograph...

Anyway, it's a home business, selling garden furniture, plants and sculptures. There's a restroom and employees' break-room on the houseboat. The house itself is unfurnished apart from bathrooms.
I'm going to release an unfurnished version (ie no home business / empty houseboat) of the lot, too.
Enough grumbling :-)))))
More soon,
Tiger :)
Carina
This is a set of pretty lingerie for adults and young adults in six colour combinations. The sexy plunge bra is made from soft floral print jersey fabric generously trimmed with contrast lace and satin ribbon and has ruched satin straps. The cute matching panties are also trimmed with lace and are adorned with a pair of satin bows.
This set uses a standard Maxis mesh and is base game compatible i.e. no expansion packs or custom meshes required.
BreakTime
Okay, Sorry, but I am taking a little break from recoloring. This heat has really done me in. I have been resting alot to alleviate some of the exertion breathing problems. I'll be back soon. My body just needs to adjust. I haven't forgotten all the requests. I have written them down.Keep On Simmin'! & Enjoy!
Vaca
I am on vacation this week. Heading off on a big ol jet airliner this afternoon. See everyone in about a week or so!I'm finally through my exams!
The topic says it all! I'm finally done with them, however I'll still have another little but hard exam, which will for sure need studying, so I might not update while studying then aswell. But who cares? Cuz a Zuhair Murad set is coming your way! And I was finally able to get Seasons from my local store! They're pretty slow.Have fun,
Faranak XxX
Air
Due to a particularly nasty sinus infection I haven't been around for a while, but I'm breathing through my nose again and I'm all ready to make new things :)Cuadrados de Madera
Translates to Squares of Wood. How original can I be? For those of you who wished I'd do something different. Plus many, many more to come. Cuadrados de Madera in Antique Jade:
and Cuadrados de Madera in Natural:
Have an AMAZING day!
The Art Gallery... NOT!
I have decided to put the art gallery on hold for a while and resume the series of modern lots. I found out that I was not in the mood for an art gallery or community lot, so i think i will stick to residential lots for a while...Happy Simming!
Harry Potter Collection - The Burrow
Our countdown continues this week with a CC free version of the Weasley's family home. "it looked as though it had once been a large stone pigsty, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several storeys high and so crooked it looked as though it was held up by magic" - from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets I hope your favorite red haired sims family will enjoy their new home.
Happy simming :)
Stucco & Plinth Series
For the exterior of your Sims home. Stucco in Pale Sun and Dark Sand:
The Plinth (or base) are in white (04), brown (03), cream (02), and grey (01).
Have an AMAZING day!
Wizard Lamps and more Wizard Lamps!
Plain or fancy ... these table oil lamps will add a touch of charm to your Sims dwellings. I found the meshes over at Avenida Sims and I set to work recoloring them ... I also wanted them for my game! If you like these kinds of lamps (old and quaint looking), DOT here at TSR has a few very cool ones. I know one is named Reflector Oil Lamp. You might want to check them out. She has a really nice single candle lamp, too. Pix for you!
Bleurgh!
Firstly, an apology... I have not been around much lately, I havent created much either - Ive definately been a bit "Bleurgh!" Work has been making me later and later home over the last few weeks, and doing all manner of things around the house, not just cleaning, but dcorationg, tiling, grouting, painting.. its all been taking its toll on any quality time I had left.Im currenly having one of those rare moments, in my conservatory (ie. sweltering greenhouse!!) taking a well earned break, I was grocery shopping, gadget shopping and at the garden centre this morning and i fell asleep whilst typing out a chores list in here a few hours ago!! oops!
I really do hope to be back to my former glory soon! so I do hope you will all forgive me!
House Building
This week I am building some houses for your downloading pleasure. Previews coming soon.







About My Preview Picture(My Style)
I use the realistic hair and body as the basic, and print the Sims's face in game ,than use photoshop to take it to cover the realistic people's face completely.MODERN SERIES break..
I decided to take a short break from my recent modern lots series and decided to do 1 community lot.. an art gallery... so that your sims will have a modern style business to go with their modern homes... and after finishing my modern lots series, just to let all of you know, i may post a poll again on whether to make country style, or any other lots you like...Happy Simming!
Superset
I've just uploaded the first part of the superset consisting of 9 walls and 10 floors. It was a pain to get the colours to match but I think I've finally succeeded. I hope it's likedTexture Challange 45
For Texture Challange 45 I'm working on a Tarox outdoor set. The table needs to be fixed and in general it need a bit more work.
Elizabeth Rose Bridal Collection
Upcoming...a new Bridal Collection Inspired & designed for my Niece Eilish. The set will include a Brides Gown, Bridesmaid & Flowergirl gowns as well as the Brides Lingerie and Chemise. I have decided to also do a different version of the Brides Gown in Golden Ivory. At the moment it's still a work in progress.. My "Elizabeth Rose Bridal Collection", should be available soon!
A beach house too ...
Thinking that it would be good to add some starters to place into the sea like my Rimini set, I've just posted up a beach house called Goodman's Pier. I've fitted an invisible driveway as well - boards on sand, of course ;) - and the upper roof gives a lot of room to expand. Here are 2 screenies, and you can see bigger pics in my Upcoming column. The final house is slightly different from the one being hit by lightning. The sea views are really lovely (I think!) - the second pic may give you some idea.

I'm Back!
There will be new update on my mini-site between 18.06.07-24.06.07 I will add a lot of new stuff, so be patient and check Dreamwork's section :) Here is a small preview of comming stuff. I hope you will like it... Some clothings for men (tops, bottoms etc.)
Now On Holiday!
End of the year ceremonies for the school where I teach were held yesterday and I am now officially on summer holiday - whoot! :D And of course, as I type this, it is pouring down rain in typical Sk�ne fashion. :( Guess it's a good thing I didn't lugg my camera down to the flower festival today as I'd planned.Anyway, I'm telling you this because it means that after a very busy month and an even busier week this past week, I'm hoping to finally get back to my Sim creations again with a little more dedication than has currently been the case. I'll keep you posted shortly. ;)
Just thought I should mention this...
I thought I should mention this again. If something of mine you download does not work, please do not leave it in a comment, please PM me or sign my guestbook so I can work in private with you to figure out a solution.But, before PMing me or signing my guestbook, please try one of the following first:
1. download as a zip instead of a sim2pack for objects
2. try to redownload the set or item as a zip, and not in a basket
3. check to see if you extracted all the items from the zip file and placed them in the Downloads folder
4. if you have never downloaded anything before, or not often, go back and re-read general installation instruction.
5. check the item requirements. You may need CEP installed, or a certain expansion pack, or you may even need a mesh.
I hope these tips help you out. I test all my creations several times before submitting to make sure they work. And please, if you have a problem getting the content to show up, please PM me or sign my guestbook instead of in the comments. I like the comments for constructive feedback.

Hello,I will be going on a family vacation for about 1 week and will leave tomorrow, very early. I've been uploading quite a bit last night and this morning so you should have quite a bit to download while I'm away.

PICTURES of NEW MODERN SERIES first lot
Here are pictures of the new modern series I am working at... the exteriors only as the inside is not yet done!... so, enjoy... these are the night and day views!
Cabin fever!
After searching awhile for a 100% seamless cabin log wall, I found myself dissapointed. :( So off I went, to search the far reaches of the internet! Finally I found a lovely pattern, and used it to make my 2 upcoming walls, Warm Honey, and Warm Maple. I was also fortunate enough to go to a cabin with a friend recently, and have recreated that home. Let's say the friend turned 34.... and let's call her Tackett... :) So I named the home 34 Tackett Dr.! I am very proud of these papers, and this lot!! Happy Birthday Tackett!Bannoch Village: Gillyweed Cottage
A mid-size cottage on a small lot. I attached a large backyard so you can add perhaps, a greenhouse, pool, play area for kids, pond or anything your Sims might enjoy. You can also add more living space if needed. I had built a nice greenhouse to go on this lot ... but it blew-up the size of the file, so I decided to tear it down before I uploaded the lot. I hope you don't mind, but I do enjoy adding interesting custom content to my houses that I find at various Sims sites. Such as plants, stairs, and I just love Maylin's cauldron/stove over at MTS2. Her stove just fits this theme of houses so well! Like me, I bet your downloads folder is just jammed with custom content. I love downloading a house and then customizing it with my special items that I have gathered from all over the Net. When decorating my lots for TSR, I am restricted (because of file size) putting in all the things I want to. So I hope you are all customizing and tweeking my lots to suit your needs. Oh, how I wish I could upload some of the lots I use in my game ... but no one wants to download a lot that is 32MB, LOL!!! Here are a couple of pix of Gillyweed Cottage:
Stuart Legacy
I have decided to start, for real this time, an honest Legacy. I have realised that for a while now, I've been playing with no cheat and most of my family looks like Legacy, with a chosen heir and all. I started by writting the prologue, which is available on http://www.freewebs.com/Nanamouskoury/There are no screenie yet because I created an empty hood for this, and I'd rather have some buildings there before. I'm also not sure of how to name that hood, so if you have any suggestion, do tell please!
