05/05 Thank you, guys!

Hi! First of all - thank you so much. I'm so happy about your nice comments and congratulations. So, let me show you on what I'm working now: Wish you a nice weekend! Sasi

Community Project

We bring this set to you today, not just as a pack of custom content but as much more.
This community started back in the sims 1 days. With people coming together, learning together and then
spreading their wings into their own endeavors but still keeping the close friendships they forged.
Lately there has been alot of drama, theft and hatred circulating in this community with others trying to deem certain creators as better than others or trying to control what individual creators do with their own time and effort and art work. This is not how this community was meant to be. We all have the same goal- to create beautiful things, learn new things, and share with people who enjoy the same game we all do. It's time that we realized that it doesn't matter how web sites are run, or what people chose to do with their own content. This community should always be about friendship.

Each of us run our own sites or participate in web sites, all of which have different policies and rules and ways of operating. However underneath all of that we are FRIENDS. And that above all is what truly matters. We do not concern ourselves with judging eachother, only enjoying eachother as unique people, with a common interest.
We bring you this set to show you that out of the dark times, beautiful things can happen when we drop our own opinions, and let go of the drama and control, and truly appreciate eachother as individual creators who enjoy making content for the community. We hope that this will allow some people to really come back to the main goal of the community and back to making new friends, treasuring old and enjoying what the community has to offer instead of hurting people over opinions.
Please enjoy this set we have made for you, as friends.

Work Work Work

Just so everyone knows. . .I just took on a part time job so with running a business now this, I have very little time to create. Not to worry though whenever I get time then I will whip up something. lol My uploads are going to slow down though for awhile but hopefully I can get my schedule straightened out and get back on track. Thanks for being so patient.

New Lot

Hey all I have just added my newest lot and its waiting to be approved...Its from my better half Irish Rose.

Its the Wishes & Dreams Celebration Hall. It features 2 halls a glamorous wedding chapel and reception area and a birthday hall for all your childs birthday dreams.

My next set

Well because I cannot get permission to use the NRL logos, I will not be doing this set...hopefully I will get a response and I will at that time post the set....Sorry all!

Celebration x 2!

Well I have a couple of things to celebrate. I reached a long-time goal of 1 million subscriber downloads! Woohoo! Thanks to all the subscribers who have downloaded, thanked, commented and otherwise made things fun!

The other thing is that as of the 14th, I will have been doing this for one year! It seems incredible! A year ago, I had not submitted a single thing. Now I have lots of creations and downloads and new friends. It's been a really great year and I hope to make next year even better!

Thanks again to you all. I'll keep on making it interesting!

Sims 2 Community Project

Blue Screen of Death

Yes, I'm being plagued with it: the infamous Blue Screen Of Death (otherwise known as BSOD in various IT Torture forums). For me, it is a random event that lies in wait; watching to see when I'm doing something immensely critical, urgent or unrecoverable - and PUFF! My PC is, without warning, restarted with the unhelpful advice of "There has been a serious system error". Thanks - I would never have guessed! The Event log said nothing helpful but pointed me in the direction of the IT-Guru-Supreme: Microsoft.

It's quite alright, apparently, this error. Easily fixed. Microsoft assures me that, if I replace my memory modules, swap the PSU, or maybe my twin CPUs, or better still, replace my motherboard, and replace each of the hard disks (oh, and to be sure, get new DVD and burner drives too, and maybe replace the IDE cables for every drive) it might be alright.

MIGHT! If I rip out the entire innards of my (relatively new) PC, it MIGHT be alright - or not.

And then they have the audacity to ask if I found their answer helpful. NO, MICROSOFT - I DID NOT FIND THE ANSWER HELPFUL!!!

Needless to say, in my continual rebuilds and tantrums, The Sims has been largely absent. But, today, I have uploaded a new lot in the ridiculously vain hope that my PC will miraculously mend itself.

May 6th, Seasons' Victorian Inspired Iceboxes


A Victorian Inspired Icebox (refrigerator) for the Seasons EP. The icebox (1 mesh and 2 recolors) are part of my Victorian Inspired Kitchen set, Part I. The Seasons' ice boxes are set for release on May 6th. Let them eat leftovers!!!

I'm still here..

I must apologise *again* for my recent abscence. I can't believe the bad luck that has happened to me, but I have been without an internet connection for over a week. This time it was not my modem, but an issue related to the cable company's equipment in the street.

The reason this took so long to resolve was because initially they assumed it was just me and didn't send an engineer out for several days. Then they came and discovered that was not the case, so toddled off to look at the box outside. This was getting late in the day, and they realised it would take further investigation, so the decision was made to return the following day. *sigh*

On top of that, when I did get my connection back, it was very slow because they were upgrading the network. So now I'm finally back to normal and have a 20Mbit line as well. Which is nice, but I sometimes prefer that it had stayed at 10Mbit with no downtime.

So anyway, that's what has been happening to me. I'll be submitting some new stuff soon, so keep your eyes peeled. :D

Cavalli collection

Hi! Today I've started Roberto Cavalli collection, suppose you'll love it (as for me - I did, I really appreciate it. It look great! LOL) Here is a small preview ;)

"Select"ed!!

I could hardly believe my eyes when I logged on to TSR today, First, I saw my cottage set listed in the feature downloads. I was so excited!!! THEN...I saw the announcement for being picked as a Select Artist. Wow!!!!! Now I'm speechless! And it's Friday to boot!!

I love making creations so much and this is just the icing on the cake. I am so glad that other people like them too. I try to design things that make me happy and would put in my own houses. I started doing this because I'm very particular about the way my houses look and instead of searching for what I wanted, I just decided to start making stuff myself. I started learning how to do different things and, well, here I am.

I want to say thank you to everyone in the TSR community. First and foremost, the people who visit here and download creations, you are the heart and soul of the site and if you like something I've done, then thank you and I hope it exceeds your expectations in game. Secondly, all the wonderful people who administer the site. I cannot imagine the amount of work that has to happen behind the scenes in order to keep this place going.

And a special thank you to Atwa! Thank you so much for letting me bug you and listening to my whining! You're the best!

Finally a Guitar

I have had a lot of requests to make a guitar recolor for The Sims 2. After a lot of work and a little frustration, I finally got one.

I call it the Gibson Mother of Pearl guitar.

Let me tell all of you, if you download it and it doesn't show up, there is something you can do. First, buy the guitar.

Next either click on the design tool, or hit the �R� key.

With the design tool selected, click on only the guitar and all the options you have for color will show up. Pick the one you want like mine, and there you have it.

Now all your Sims can enjoy playing the guitar I made. I hope you all like it.

I don't know if I will do a lot more of these, they take a lot of time, but at some point I will do another

Welcome!

Rug Links

It was brought to my attention that some of the links to the rug mesh were broken (thank you Les)I have now fixed them all, I hope. Please let me know if you find anything that doesn�t work properly

*wipes brow*

I am still hard at work on my big project. I can't believe I actually started this in February and I'm still nowhere near finishing.

I guess this is what I get for being too ambitious. I'm certainly not giving up, I'm just realizing that I am but a mere mortal.

Anyway, I honestly couldn't give a timeline for when I'll be finished and done with this project. What I can say, is that when I am finished, people will be shocked and amazed!!

*disappears in a puff of smoke*

My first poll

I am interested in who people primarily download from. Do people actually pay attention to FA/SA status or do they just go with what they like.

About my preview Screens

Just an additional Information about my Screenshots: Just to let you know that my sim models which show the uploaded item (shadow,lips,etc..)are not photoshopped! The preview picture itself is created with photoshop but not the downloadable item. The preview screenshots are the proof of how the item looks in the game. thx :-) Kisses

Little Exclusive!!

Hi, I'm bringing you a little Exclusive just to mark the birth of the mini site They will be coming very soon so look out for them on the site. Hugz xx

Its finally Spring!

I love seeing how people use my wallpapers and floors, so please contribute your jpegs. there too. Come on over and have a chat with me. Happy Spring! judi

Bringing You a minisite.

Hi There,

Well, guess you have noticed the changes by now lol.

I have decided to bring you a minisite. Currently it is underconstruction but it shouldn't take too long to get up and running so please bare with me.

Hopefully I will get it up and running and with lots of my great new items for you to use. I look forward to seeing you around and hopefully you'll like it.

Hugz and love for now xxxxxx.

Out of Town

Sorry I haven�t uploaded anything lately. I went on an impromptu vacation to see my family in San Antonio, Texas. My sister bought a new house and I hadn�t seen my parents in about six months. It was just one of those things. But, I�m home now. I will be uploading something this week. I don�t know if I�ll be keeping my schedule. I will continue the Sheffield collection, but the kitchen might not be first. I still need to work on that.

Thanks for being patient with me. ~Lisa

Happy Anniversary

I've been a TSR member for a whole year - happy anniversary me!!

Creativity Blanket

Reupploaded 2/5-07. Fixed so the toddler will earn the right skill. Thanks to Contracat that told me about the dysfunktion :)

Hello!

Hello! My name is Kate and I'm from Moscow, Russia! You may also know me as KateK. I'm fond of skinning and you can find my Sims creations on such great sites like Simsconnection.com, simsecrets.biz and justsims2.ru For pity to say, I've registered here, om TSR befor I became KateK, so, here I'm K@. So, I hope, you'll love my creations! And I'll try to do all my best!

Happy Trails Resort

A bit rundown (a bit?) ... but can be refurbished. Perfect for those troublesome old folk who need a quiet setting. Long narrow lot with main housing/kitchen, 3 private cabins, loft bedroom for a caretaker, a large communal bathroom for your Sims needs, and 2 areas to place driveways (invisible, works best). Fully furnished with recreation items included.

Ooops

I am here honest :)

Haven't updated the blog for a while, I've been a busy girlie just lately. Started playing Lord of the Rings Online and so I'm off journeying in Middle Earth a lot at the moment.

Anyways, back to the Sims 2. I've got a few lots in the pipeline. Have made five, yes five, teenie tiny lots for the Too Many Sims Too Little Space competition over on the Build A Lot Forum.
I'm also debating whether or not I can enter Crass' latest May S2HBAA competition because this one is to design something with an extensive Asian Garden.
Now, as I like to make my lots available for everyone, I don't use Custom Content in them and there's not that much Asian stuff which works in a garden.

I've had a basic fiddle round and I did do something but it's probably not swanky enough and so I think I shall just upload it as is and people can get it if they want it.

This is my Asian Garden delight

Cryobed Progress Report

I've been working on the Mark II version of the cryochamber bed on and off for a while now, and I have to say, I'm very pleased with progress. Currently involved in doing the texturing on it, which I'm being much more finicky with then normal. Here's a little preview of how it's looking in my modelling software.
The main thing I'm dreading once the actual model is finished, is making the .package file for it - I strongly suspect that getting the lid to animate properly will prove to be a pain in the nether regions.

Tudor Flower Shoppe - free for four weeks :)

Yup, this is this month's free lot. A home business with accomodation upstairs and a lovely garden and pool. Here's a few detailed pics.











Have fun,
Tiger :-)

Butterfly Flower

Finally a new item!

Do you love the butterflies in game? You can have them all the time if you use these new flowers. It takes a little while before they appear.

There is interactions for all ages and it also adds a little fun. (It does not add room as I couldn�t get that to work)




new hair

i Have recolored and alpha edited raonajenas hair to make it shorter which i find useful for my younger sims as i like them to have the same hair as thier mother but shorter

New stuff again, soon!

I will keep my promise! I will have a brand new stuff again this month! But, you all have to wait a few more weeks.

My first new set I wills submit will be Seasons Set 3.

That's it for now!
Happy simming!

Creations on Hiatus

Hello Benny Boy fans!!

Well; I know that the list I posted in the: Possible New Items!! blog isn't really getting done, but that is because I'm trying new things and some things I haven't done for a while. Like...

I just downloaded a tutorial by the wonderful Echo at ModtheSims2 that will teach me how to mess around and edit BHAV files, which can sometimes deal with Sim animations, new and edited. Weee!! It's hard, but well worth learning it. :)

Also, building. This is something I haven't done in a LONG time and I've been trying lately to find a house plan I really, really enjoy. If you have any lot requests, please private message me as I'd love to see them. And who knows, maybe you'll have a house named after you here on TSR!! Haha!! :P

Well, the bell just rang for school so I gotta split, but I will be updating this blog after school (3:30 PM, Central US time) to give you more information on what I'm currently doing.

Thanks for your support!!
Benny Boy

PS: If you are interested in BHAV editing and finding the Echo tutorial, please private message me saying so and I'll happily give you a link. :)

Wrong Mesh - Fashionset 03

Hi! I gave you a wrong link to the mesh from the Fashionset 03! It�s not Site 2, 2. Picture! You must load the Mesh at Site 1, 3. Picture!
Sorry ;o) ..

Get ready to shop!

My newest set is almost ready and will be published in a few days. Get ready for a whole new way of designing your (OFB)shops! Modernise your shops with several new types of shelves: small, large, round and straight, wall shelves and even some counterdisplays that realy can hold objects to be sold. Included are also a new counter that matches the new shelves and some advertising displays. To fill your shop with some nice salesware (or just to decorate your houses ofcourse), I've also made a whole set decorative objects in all kinds of trendy colors. Several of them are stackable, like the cushions and baskets. They stack them in normal shops, and soon you can also stack them in your Sims shop. All objects (even the shelves) are cloned from base-game objects, so they should also work if you don't have OFB.

Simphany Up-and-Running Again

To all who tried accessing the site for the past week, and sent me messages about when it would be back up again, I've reopened it as of yesterday afternoon.

Very sorry about the inconvenience, and for those subscribers who joined beforehand, I have sent you notices to inform that you have been given a free month of membership for the inconvenience.

I've changed the layout a bit, and also changed the member section (you can now preview each individual download).

The site is still being worked on, but for the most part, it's up-and-running rather nicely (double-checking on everything today, just to be sure that everything runs smoothly).

There are also free meshes being offered (two that I haven't featured here on TSR).

Any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line.

Thank You

WOW 225,000 downloads I just had to thank each and every one of you />

Georgian Set

This set of two lots requires no expansion packs. It's all Maxis content. There are two unfurnished houses on one lot - and a single house on the starter lot. I quite like the slightly grittier look to these Georgian houses, so I may do more if they are popular. If you've downloaded my Georgian Starter Set, you will find that these houses are very similar in build.

A few pics:









And for those who like basements, I've pre-dug them on the Georgian Duo lot. To gain access just follow these simple instructions:



Just take out the four floor tiles next to the stairs:



Add some modular stairs:



And you will have access to the basement, to which you can then add a floor and wallpaper:



I know, I'm so good to you!
Smiles,
Tiger :)

Lots with no EPs required

I've had a few requests for lots that don't require certain expansion packs. And for some that require none at all. Sometimes this is possible - and I try to use as few EPs as possible where I can - but at other times, I need a certain EP to use the half-walls (NL); certain windows or features (such as the square ones in OFB) or certain build cheats.

Sometimes when I release a set, I include a starter that doesn't require as many EPs. There's a modern one coming up in the middle of May. So please check the EP requirements on each individual lot. Also coming up are two Georgian lots which require NO EPs. Depending on how popular these are, I may do more.

I'm also going to repeat the info I included a while ago in my blog. This was written pre-Seasons. If you find this works with the Maxis Seasons Installer too, please let me know!

Installing Lots for which you do not have all the EPs:

There are two possible ways to install lots for which you don't have all the EPs. Read on! Please back up your data if you're trying either of these methods for the first time (although I haven't heard of any problems so far). But I don't want to be held responsible for any problems with your game, ok?!

If you have Pets installed, you should be able to use the Maxis Installer to install ANY lot, whether or not you have the correct EPs. This works for both Macs and PCs. Of course, items from the EPs you DON'T have will be missing. So, if you don't have the correct windows, the building won't have windows. Same goes for furniture. With doors, it seems that the game will replace them with a door from the base game.

If you don't have Pets but are using a PC, you can use Clean Installer to install lots for which you have the last EP. That is, if a lot requires Uni, NL and OFB, as long as you have OFB, the lot should install for you. Once again, items from the EPs you DON'T have will be missing.

I hope that helps some of you who've contacted me wishing you could install a certain lot for which you don't have the EPs.

Sintesi Bedroom Recolours

The Sintesi Bedroom seems to have been quite popular. Thanks to everyone who downloaded it and thanks A LOT to everyone who commented on it. It's strange, but after a good month of work, when I was going to upload it, I was afraid that maybe nobody would have liked it. So thanks to you all. Now I've made a couple of recolours, so that you can have more choices (even in your readings, if you don't like Harry Potter ;) ). I hope you like them too. I'm planning to make at least another recolour in more neutral colours soon, but since I've not begun working on it yet, I'm open to suggestions and requests. And of course everybody is welcome to recolour all my items: Momama has already made a really nice recolour of the Sintesi Bedroom for the Texture Challenge.
