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.
When I get back, I'll be working on cleaning up my computer. Take care,

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!
NEW SERIES... MODERN LIVING NEW STYLE
Ok, so all of you have chosen! Modern it is, and country lots up next! There will be four homes in my next series, and will probable require patience as i have a busy schedule and will be doing this only in my VALID FREE TIME!Happy simming!
Next Series...
As of now, the one with the leading number of votes are the modern lots again... i am about to end the poll in a few days, and will start in the new series this weekend... the second runner-up will be the series i will work at after the LATEST modern series, which will only consist of 4 lots, but that still remains to be seen... I may opt to make it 5 or 6...THANKS FOR VOTING!
Happy Simming...!
1st Poll Results
I only let it run for a couple of days, but it served it's purpose. I edited my avatar. That one was a close one. Per Paleoanth's suggestion, I resized it and got rid of the black behind it. I'm sticking with the current banner. I tried one thing suggested, but it didn't work out. And orange it is!

I'll try to create CC according to your votes as much as I can! Thanks to everyone who participated in..
Miracle! Or not.
Any debate around here on "it's a woman thing" and I'll be round your place like a shot!My new PC is not dead, after all. At first, I was going to concoct these elaborate tales of how the motherboard was miraculously reclaimed from the frazzled, no-hope state of 'dead'; indeed, I was even going to name it Lazarus! But in case Allan of a very wonderful computer shop about two miles from my butt is reading, I will be honest. It was, erm, an unplugged cable on the motherboard...
Oh, SHUT UP and quit the laughing!!!
* note to self: leave the case of the PC in the state of fastened and padlocked. Do NOT touch innards!
My first poll!
I just make walls and floors, so I did a poll all about walls. I hope people will take it, because it's got stuff I'd like to know.Playing the Game!
Hi everyone!Yep, I've been a little silent lately because I've actually been *gasp* PLAYING The Sims! :D I swear I just went in to test out my April Street lot... but then I started growing stuff in the garden, and got a few promotions, and then added a second level to the house, and...well... the rest is history! :)
I promise I'll get back to building starter homes soon!
:D
Nya Nya!
Yes, I have a mini site. I was buying all these little things for my site, paying money, and it hit me that I could get it all by buying the whole thing. Now I need to start making more stuff again. I've been gone for awhile.My bookmarks
I just had an idea hit me. A lot of times when I am posting in someone's guestbook, to thank them for their comment, I see who else has thanked them for the same thing. Then I go look at that poster's creations. I find some good stuff that way. So, the idea hit me that a list of favorite creators with links to their pages or a way to publically share our bookmarks might be a nice way to find unknown but good creators. Or maybe it would be a horrible idea and turn into a popularity contest. At any rate, here is who I currently have bookmarked:Windkeeper

darqstar
Simtomatic

Some of these people are not really active anymore, but I still like their stuff. My list isn't very long, but it is a start. Who do you have bookmarked?
Eyes!! I made eyes :yay:
Here is my brand new eyes check them out.They will be ready for download in a week. Please leave a comment, if you like them or not.. doesn't matter ;)
Earlier Lots... OPINIONS NEEDED!
Ok... some of you might be thinking, "What?! A SA? No way! Look at his EARLIER LOTS! I mean, REALLY!?"Well, I would have liked to delete those first few lots I first submitted, but I will prefer to keep them (update them, maybe).
"WHAT!? ARE YOU CRAZY!? YOU'RE AN SA! NO WAY!"
Well, i respect your opinions, but for me, those lots have a meaning for me... it shows how far I have gone, how much I have improved as a creator and artist, and inspires me to improve more...
So, what DO YOU THINK?
Click here to see previews...
...of the new door collection I'm working on.
Obviously these are just renders from my 3D software, but I estimate that I'll finish modeling everything within the next next two days with texturing and in-game testing taking no more than 1-3 weeks (hopefully no longer than that!)
Let me know what you think =]
My new minisite!
I've finally got it! Thanks to the wonderful creators in the Texture Challenge and the wonderful downloaders at TSR.Many thanks go to Paleoanth who has allowed me to butcher her wonderful meshes and who has stopped by to hand out Kudos faithfully. Without her, I would likely still be making walls and floors. I never would've been searching for an answer to some random question about recoloring and happened onto the Texture Challenge thread. Thank you!
And the TC participants...what can I say about them? Except to say that they are an absolutely fantastic group of creators! They are a bottomless pit of information and support. Never have they failed to answer any question I've had.
My minisite is pretty boring as of yet. I don't even have my Downloads tab, yet. But I'm working on getting it going.
With my new minisite, I've uploaded a new avatar as well. I remember watching that episode of Winnie the Pooh when I was a kid. :D
New set coming soon!
A new build collection is coming up soon. I'm currently working on it, and I hope to be done with modeling and testing it in the next 2-3 weeks.The Big Project is on the shelf for now, which is good, because if I were to work on it non-stop, I'd just get bored and tired of it. And bored+tired=sloppy work. And I really want it to be the best quality possible.
