Clothes
In between working on some new houses, I was messing around with Body Shop because I got bored....and I actually made some nice Maxis recolors! I'm obsessing over teal and green shades these days, and so are my Sims since Maxis never makes clothes that match! :P Well, anyway, since I was so bored today, I came up with some teal and green outfits for Sim ladies. Two recolors I did came out particularly well, so I'm going to share! Keep an eye out for them in the next few days. :)Update
The whole "Shop till you drop" set is published now and the set has became larger then I had in mind when I started working on this set. For everyone who doesn't have this set yet, there is a Superset comming out on tuesday, with an easy download of all sets in one. The complete set has 30 meshes, 69 recolors and 4 collectionfiles.In case some people had problems with placing things like toddler toys or kitchen supplies on the shelves, I recommend using the placers of part 1a. With those placers you can place those kind of objects on the shelves or on other tables. So you can also use them if you for instance want some toddler toys as decoration on an endtable in a childsroom.
Next thing up will be a kitchen, but you probably had already guessed that, as my poll is about this kitchen. I'm also working on a few other things in the mean time, so I can't tell yet when the kitchen will be ready, but I promiss I'll try to make it something special.
Almost forgot: I've done a few little updates on some files: the curtain mesh of the Turano set had a bad shadow that is now removed. I also added a collection file to the Turano set.
Also the advertising painting of the "Shop till you drop" set had a wrong description. It's updated a few days after it is published.
I'm Back :)
Hi everyone, if you haven't noticed i have been a little quiet for a while. I have one thing to say to all UK internet users DO NOT USE TALK TALK.I have had a nightmare 2 months of phone calls, delayed connections, crap customer service and tears all from trying to change my connection to Talk talk.
But nightmare aside, i am back, i have been busy while offline and hope to post some new stuff for you soon so check back :)
happy simming
Bed
I really like retro and contemporary furniture, but for my new set I wanted something more traditional. It's going to be a bedroom set, so here's a preview of the double bed:
Of course, as I am not nearly done with it yet, it could end up as something completely different :) I am looking forward to making an armoire - I have never made something animated, so that will be a first! I really love that about creating for The Sims; you can start off with relatively simple things and learn as you go.
Poll results for video games
Okay, I have the results for my last poll about video games. And the results are:1. Simulation: 61.74% (92 votes)
2. RPG's: 16.78% (25 votes)
3. Adventure: 4.03% (6 votes)
4. Platform: 4.03% (6 votes)
5. Fighting: 3.36% (5 votes)
6. Action: 2.68% (4 votes)
7. Survivor Horror: 2.68% (4 votes)
8. Shooters: 2.07% (3 votes)
9. Sports: 1.34% (2 votes)
10. Racing: 1.34% (2 votes)
Obviously none of the other game genres were competition for the simulation games since we have so many sims addicts here at TSR and that's completely understandable. I'm very happy to see that quite a few voted for RPG's, my personal favorite. Although I really would've love to have seen more votes from everyone, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to vote on my poll. I really appreciate your participation.
Maybe you all can vote on my new poll I have available. What kind of movies and music do you all like to watch and listen to? It's a 2 part poll and I'm very interested in everyone's response, especially the one dealing with music since we have such a diverse community.
Barocco - Recol and Additions
Hi! I've recoled my Barocco-Set and made some new Meshes for it - be surprised! Here is a little preview-pic ;-)
Marbles & Happy Kids Walls and Floors Sets
Dear Downloaders,I'm so sorry for what happened with Marbles and Happy Kids walls and floors sets, the problem was that i uploaded them as .zip file, because i lost the preview images for Happy Kids set, and i couldn't upload the set as individual items, while for Marbles walls and floors set, i had to submit it as .zip file because it contians 21 items ( i can't remeber how many specifically ) but i'm sure the set contained more than 20 items, and my problem is that i'm on dail up connection which is too slow, so i couldn't submit the set individually because it doesn't fit my connection speed. So i'm so sorry for what happened. I'll REpublish them in June or July again with individual items and preview images, because nowadays i'm so busy packing up my things and will travel soon to the Netherlands.
Thank you so much for your support and patiance. Please accept my apologies.
Yours,
Zuzu aka Sheera
Seasons Set 4
As you can probably tell by the poll, I am going to have a Seasons Set 4 soon! At this point in time, I can tell you that it will be a HUGE set with 23 objects! The only problem- I haven't decided what the color should be. There is still time to vote in the poll to help me decide which of those colors you would like to see!That's it for now!
Happy simming!

Bannoch Village: Blackberry Cottage
Paris Blackberry, a notable partying witch in Bannoch Village recently renovated this old, dusty stable into a cozy, small family dwelling. There are no full-sized walls in the interior of this cottage, but Paris (creative girl that she is), decided to use the old horse stalls to partion-off the rooms. Interesting concept and adds charm. The outside walls are all unfinished thatch and prone to bugs and mice. But what's a few critters when all this can be yours for under $20,000! Alas, poor Paris has had to vacate this lovely cottage for more spartan lodgings but she is hopeful that some nice wizarding family will soon purchase Blackberry Cottage.
May Break :)
I will come back soon with new creations, new hairs, make-up, clothes and everything else. Now I will create stuff for men too :) So don't forget to check my mini-site after May will end (one of beautiful month in year).Poison Ivy and other fun things
I've been fighting a severe rash from poison ivy all month. Never clear out brush in the dark. I've had it on my eyelids, which has made it hard to focus on anything for very long, so that explains the lack of updates.I'm very nearly finished with the Aaron bedroom, and I've started work on a couple of the others. I also started looking at bathrooms and have a few ideas that I'll be trying to do soon.
The results over the slave objects question were closer than I expected. I prefer to do things without using a master/slave file, so that's how I'll continue to do it. For now, I'll continue to make everything I can base-game compatible, but I'm hoping that the next version of the site will allow for more than one version of an object.
As soon as the next version of the site is up and running, I'll be updating all of my older sets.
Future Reference: 60,000 Downloads!!
Hello,I just thought I'd announce this now, because I know that I will forget when I do come across 60,000 downloads here at TSR. LOL!
When I do get there, I will be submitting many downloads, as a thank you to all of you who have ever downloaded my stuff! I really do appreciate all the downloads and comments I get, which inspire me TONS to create more.
When I get closer and closer to 60 K, I will be posting both in my forum signature and in this blog, that I will take requests for a limited time. In that case, you can private message me on the forums, where I will try and respond A.S.A.P.
More information on the time of requests will be posted later, as I'm still 2,000 downloads away from 60 K. Haha!!
Thanks for all of your support!

STUD Pics
Now that Anoeska's recolors are out, I wanted to see how they looked together with my shelves. Here are some samples. I think they go together pretty well. But I like variety and I wouldn't have an all-blue or all-pink shop. But add a bit of variety and I think it will do quite nicely. I have 27 sets of these objects. As of today, I've released 3. So I figure a set every day or two will last from 4 to 8 weeks. So you'll be seeing these around for a while. I might pull one set because I don't like it as much as the rest. But there is another set I want to finish, so maybe I'll substitute that. Who knows? Anyway, I'm through with them for now except for the publishing. The black shelves will be out in a day or two. Enjoy your shopping! Green Metal and Cherry Wood
Blue Metal and Teak Wood
Pink Metal and Wenge Wood
Black Metal and Black Wood
Mini Site
Yea! I finally have my mini-site. I am waiting for my lots and other objects to show up. I am trying to work on my Alphabet Soup Series Homes, but with school and everything it will probably be a while before all houses are here.Bannoch Village: Lockett Cottage
Another small cottage, suitable for a family of three. Plenty of room for you to add on rooms, if needed. Also, this cottage is packaged with a Maxis roof. You can use either the Wizard Roofing I created or Cyclonesue and Tiko have some other wonderful 'thatch' roofs that would look good, too! Your choice!!
May 20th, Once Upon A Time Nursery Collection

Big Thanx
Big thanx to all who entered my first poll now I kind of know that my mini site is not a total waste of time lol.Also a BIG thank you in advanced to anyone who downloads and/or comments I really, really appreciate it.

my crazy life
Well, it seems that as soon as I became an SA, my "real" life just went berserk. I've had a couple of business trips and a ton of other things that have kept me away from the computer. But...there is light at the end of the tunnel! Things are starting to settle down and this weekend should be quiet. I've already starting working on my next theme and have a couple more sets to go with the Cottage Decorating theme. I'll get some screenshots up soon!!! Hope everyone is having a great spring!Racer
Up next in the 1970's line-up is Racer. Racer in Khaki:
and Racer in Orchid:
Have an AMAZING day!
LINEN Living Room Published
A new 18 mesh set will be released on the 1st May with 3 recolours to be published in the following 2 weeks.
SUEDE Living Room Published
I'm uploading a new mesh set: 15 new meshes for the SUEDE living room. It'll be published on Saturday 7th April with the three recolours to follow on the 11th, 14th, and the 18th.
'Rage' Living Room Recolor
Hello,I'm gonna try really, really hard to complete this recolor! :P
I'm currently in the process of creating previews and uploading my next recolor set. It is, of course, by the featured artist: prin6je. It is her newest set, the 'Rage' Living Room set that I absolutely love!! It's a brilliant set and prin6je did an amazing job on it. It's been a lot of fun recoloring.
Click here to see the mesh set!
You will most likely be seeing quite a few Current Projects lately until I submit the last preview picture (probably the full set picture, lol), and then fully submit the recolors. I will also be posting pictures of the "finished" previews in this forum thread.
Look for it soon!! Thanks,
Benny Boy
Water Pump Play
If you have read my tread in the forum, you have alredy seen my new item. My water pump altered to actually be possible to get water from. All ages can use it, but the toddler will have a ball with it!
More On My Blahblah Blog
Hi Again Kids!Okay kitchen is done.. no more excuses for me.
'Puter is like brand new, actually I could have gotten a new one for the price we paid to upgrade this one. I have a great graphics card with it's own fan and more power..and I needed a new DVD drive even though I got it replace a year ago....so my 'puter is like shiny new and I'm happy.
Now for what's coming up. I recolored most of the Seasons country objects and I have added a surprise. It was something I wanted recolored. You'll have to wait and see.
I have the screenies done, now to size them to package up the stuff and upload and I'm done.
Luv, Me
Oh wait! One more thing I have to do...I haven't responded to everyones grand comments and I'll be doing that as well. Didn't fiveget anyone...really!
So: about that Incredibly Useless Set...
It's done - all 30 pieces of it (or thereabouts - by 5am this morning I confess I'd lost count).
Tree House Set
I mean - it doesn't even LOOK like a tree! It makes an interesting house, but it's still just a house decorated (somewhat inexplicably) with branches and foliage.
But I've uploaded it anyway - dedicated to anyone as batty as me.
Release date: Thursday 17 May.
EDIT: two bark recolours now included for the Circular Walls Set (thanks go to Figaro_Black for suggesting that one.

Ruby Living Room Set
I have just submittedt the Ruby Living Room set. This is my last of these types of living room sets.Now that these living room sets are done, I will begin work on the Seasons Set 4 soon, and then I will begin a series of bedrooms, starting with the Onyx Bedroom set, then Cr�me Bedroom Set, followed by Sapphire Bedroom Set and Ruby Bedroom set. I will not make an Emerald Bedroom Set. But, this is just to let you know what I'm planning.
By the way... tomorrow, the 17th, the Seasons Set 3 will be published, and the 18th (Friday), the Emerald Living Room Set will be published.
That's it for now!
Happy simming

Atrium House
I was extremely pleased with how a house I built for some of the characters in my Legacy turned out. It's a three-story house with an attached three-story atrium/greenhouse. I've now rebuilt it (sans most custom content and including room for a driveway, which I neglected on the in-game version), and uploaded it to TSR. And then I built a second version of it, on a wider lot, with a wider atrium and a second part of the house attached to the other side, which I plan to get uploaded some time in the next day or two. Still working on the cryo-bed, on and off. Mainly off, as the Soups have been seducing me with interesting storylines to go play and write about them instead of working on objects. Meanwhile my list of "objects I want to work on" keeps getting longer and longer... I've made another couple of counter-matching items, just a mini set of them since the counter they're for - the Impossible Mission counters from OFB - already have vast amounts of matching items. I wanted a couple of Missionaire-style tables that incorporated the stained glass insets from the Impossible Mission counters, plus matching un-padded chairs, and made both a plain (wood only) and fancy (with stained glass) version of each... since I had to make the plain versions of both anyway en route to the ones with the fancy-shmancy inserts! Just need to do a minor tweak to the meshes for those and then they will be ready to post as well.
Azteca & Azuleros
Hello!!Just like to announce that 2 new floor tile sets will be released soon! Azuleros on May 17, 2007 and Azteca on May 18, 2007
Look for them soon!

New uploads
2 became 1, a new nursery . with ducks! After a lot of very unsuccesfull work with meshing, I went back to what I know, recoloring, but it doesen't meen that I have given up, ooh no, I will just keep on trying and trying untill I succeed - who could possible have known that meshing was that hard to do - i have even more respect than ever for those who master this art to a perfection - just go and take a look of some of the FA's. Well I am not expecting to be that good, but a least just something that diden't look like a piece of clay a 3 year old kid has thrown around for a day or two, that would be nice :) But untill then I will keep uploading recolors, and today it's the Happy Duck Nursery, tomorrow who knows :D
Home from my trip....
My daughter and I returned from our trip to Jamestown, VA yesterday and we're exhausted. We went with her school orchestra to the America's 400th Anniversary celebration. Her school was the only middle school that was chosen to perform in the celebration. (groups from all the other states were high schoolers) My daughter was then selected along with about 10 kids from her orchestra to perform with the Virginia Symphony for the President of the United States! I can't even put into words, the pride I felt at seeing my daughter up there on the stage with the President. It was amazing!Now it's time for me to get caught up on all my Sims creations. I have lots of stuff that I didn't have time to upload before I left on the trip. So be on the lookout for new creations from me. :)

Emerald Living Room Set
I am currently working on the Emerald Living Room set. I should be able to start submitting tonight, but I am still tweaking the sofa. I have one preview of this set so far:
Along with this set, I am still trying to figure out what the next two sets will be.
Right now, I am thinking my next set will be Seasons Set 4 and then Ruby Living Room Set, and this will be the last of these living room sets.
That's it for now!
Happy simming!

Seasons Country furniture
I have had several requests to recolor the Seasons Country furniture in mission furniture wood colors. So I have begun working on them. They will be done over the next few weeks. I have done them with an inlay of wrought iron decor. Hope you like them. Enjoy!New Homes!
Yes, I FINALLY have some new lots done! Three have been submitted today. One doesn't require any expansion packs
, one requires only Nightlife
, and the other requires Nightlife, Open for Business, and Seasons
. I'll update to let you know when those will be available.
I've finally decided what I'm going to do, in terms of expansion packs. I have two computers that I use regularly to build/upload, so I've made one the computer that has all the expansion and stuff packs on it along with whatever custom content I like to use, and the other computer I have free of custom content with only Nightlife, Open for Business, Seasons, Family Fun Stuff, Glamour Stuff, and Celebrations Stuff on it. Hopefully these two combinations make for enough variety so that I can build lots that will appeal to everyone.
I'm also hoping one of these days to get into object-making. I think what I'd like to do first, though, is try my hand at clothing before I go into objects. I hope to spend this summer working through some more tutorials before I mess around too much! :)
Wizard Roofing!!
A bit of a problem here. On the houses I will be submitting for the Bannoch Village series, (at least for a while) ... the original roofing for these houses will have to be downloaded separately. For some unknown reason (at this time) I cannot get my custom roof recolor into the packaged lot. I have tried everything this past weekend but with no luck. So if you download Harrow Cottage (and future cottages) ... it's going to have a regular Maxis roof *curses and spits 3 times*. The 'Wizard Roofing' is coming soon ... I just uploaded it ... and it will be available on May 17. And it does make a difference in the appearance of the cottage(s). I am so sorry ... never had this problem before ... and will continue to hunt for a solution (so frustrating *curses and spits*, again)! And Francien & Elven Ranger! ... I truly hope you like Harrow Cottage ... it looks much better in the game than the preview pictures. Pictures are a little too dark and make the green siding look icky ... but really the siding is nice.
