Bean's Aged Brick Walls
Finally something to upload .... I am returning a bit slowly here in creating items .... thought I'd start off with something simple ... school has been very busy ... report cards, parent conferences, testing ... But I am working on some new items and hope to get them uploaded in between my other commitments ....!Phone - Tastic Notes
I have been looking at the download figures for the Bases and Handsets for the new Phones and see that the figures don't match, so that means for some downloaders the Phones won't work correctly, in my description I clearly state that you need all the Meshes for the Bases and Handsets for the Phones to work correctly...so if you haven't downloaded the Handset to match the Base...please do so.Thanks

Group A
Abby, Bianca, Cadence, and Jasmine will have 4 kids (one with each of the alien guys). Here are the firstborn; Group A. They all went to college together and I paired off couples from them. It was important to get an equal amount of boys and girls. Each of the four in this group are still unrelated to one another. Their parents must never get married, so there will be no step-sibling relationships among them.
The First Generation
I created 8 males with different skintones, different eye colors, and either red, brown, or blonde hair. Each of them got abducted and had an alien baby in a different neighborhood. While they were living there, they did not speak to any other character. If they had met anyone, they'd bring an unnecessary character file to the experimental neighborhood - where they all joined to form a community.Their alien children will not be related to each other because they were born in a different neighborhood. This is how the experiment begins. An even amount (4) of girls and boys gives 16 different possible genetic configurations. Math geeks: 4! = 16 :D
Abby Rainbow's father had Maxis skin #1 (lightest), custom Rainbow eyes, and blonde hair.
Bianca Brown's father had Maxis skin #2, brown eyes, and brown hair.
Cadence Green's father had Maxis skin #3, green eyes, and brown hair.
Jasmine Aqua's father had custom freckled skin, custom aqua eyes, and red hair.
Dean Lightblue's father had Maxis skin #4, light blue eyes, and red hair.
Figaro Darkblue's father had custom teal skin, dark blue eyes, and red hair.
Gabe Purplestar's father had custom red skin, custom purple starry eyes, and blonde hair.
Isaac Pink's father had custom pink skin, custom pink eyes, and blonde hair.
American Football Jerseys Set 4
I was asked to make four more American football jerseys for the following teams: Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals (all animals this time!). I particularly like the Bengals jersey with its tiger effect sleeves :-)
As usual these jerseys are for adult and young adult males and use a standard Maxis mesh.
Boomerang Pinwheel Wallpaper Series
When I first started this series, I was thinking about creating the usual Retro Boomerang wallpaper. Then, I started playing with the "boomerang" a bit, and found this design. It's my updated version of that "oldie but goodie".New Article: Creating a Custom User Startup File
After the roaring success of my photography tutorial earlier in the year (thank you, to everyone who gave me such wonderful feedback on it), I've been wanting and meaning to write more tutorials but have put them off because they take a lot of time and effort to do properly. I realize that's a horrible excuse at best.Anyway, you will (hopefully) be happy to hear that I finally prodded myself to write a new tutorial - Creating A Custom User Startup File. If you're not familiar with what a user startup file is, suffice it to say that it's an invaluable little file that will make your gaming experience all that much better - full details on what one is and how to make one is included in the article so head on over and check it out. :)
Update Post
I'm going to use this post to keep you up to date of my posts. I don't get to post as often as I would like. I often just don't have the time or the patience it needs to upload creations. If I don't get here for 2 or 3 weeks, don't give up on me. Here's a list of what I currently have on the go:HomeCrafter Plus Creations

Plaid Inspired (PI)
Since I've finally released my last set of Plaid Walls and Floors, I just thought I would put down in words how many sets these plaids have inspired.Released:
NK PI Burglar Alarms
NK PI Curtains
NK PI Embrasure WindowsNDoors
NK PI Hanging Plants
NK PI Smoke Alarms
NK PI Triangle End Tables
NK PI Short Kitchen Windows
Not Yet Released:
NK Plaid Inspired Beds
NK PI Dahlen Bookcases
NK PI Pianos
NK PI Sofas
NK PI Stereos
NK PI TVs
NK PI Arizona Desks
NK PI Desk Chairs and Frames
NK PI College PCs
5 sets of solid walls with various trims and moldings, with the possibility of at least 10 more.
And of course, the 20 recolors of Solander's Modern Kitchen
Wow. That's a lot of mileage from one set of plaids.
Wall Stencils
I have recently been working on wall stencils and have come up with quite a few. The idea is that you will be able to stencil an image on your walls instead of using mural wallpaper. This way you will be able to use your image of choice and your wallpaper of choice and combine the two into something you like. I hope it will be to your liking....
New Theme: Witching Hour
Shell out! Shell out! This witch is out! :DI *LOVE* Hallowe'en!
Summer is now past and it's time to change my mini site theme so if the burn-your-eyes-out orange was getting on your nerves, you're in luck! For the month of October you'll enjoy dull grey and a host of spooks and ghouls, such as my little white tiger me, complete with fangs and furry little ears - aren't I cute? :P
As you can see, I had oodles of fun making the new theme and likewise have a wide selection of Hallowe'en Sims goodies to share with you all, starting with my new feline eye sets being released shortly. Later on this month you'll find a new selection of Wiccan jewellery to outfit your Sims with, at least one new cemetery and what can only be described as possibly one of the most original business retail lots you may well find but I'm keeping that one under wraps for a fun surprise. :)
I've been creating sims2 contents for almost 2 years! I can say that I've improved a lot since then. I always cringe when I see those early works. Back then, I haven't figured out the bodyshop zoom controls that's why the seams weren't perfect...ugh! Now I spend a lot of time aligning the seams making sure that the front and the back connects.
Anyway, I boldly submitted my first works here at TSR on Nov. 2004. I think you can see how my work has progressed through the years, as I submitted most of my stuff here, until I got the chance to set up my own site. I have been creating stuff on and off since then.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my previous works, and will get to enjoy my future works as well.
Coming Up
The upcoming set contains five meshes and some recolors. The vanity table on the right is one of the new mesh. I have to speed up, hope can finish the set before my son's first day going to play group! I will need to stay with him the first three days... |

About my mini site
I was given a mini site... but I have nothing on it! Kinda silly, right? Well I am going to try to recreate my alien experiment here. Since I lost the pictures on my thread, it needs to be updated somewhere. We'll see how it goes. My readers will have to read the blog backwards to see the genetics progress. Do you think you can handle that? I hope so. ;)So I will attempt to begin... Wish me luck!
More Marley Wentworth
I'll be finishing off the Marley Wentworth girl's fashions for this next week. I didn't get as many done this past week as I wanted to because I bought the Battlestar Galactica Season 2.5 DVD box set and got a bit sidetracked. So more girl's fashions are on the way.
Bathrooms
Decided to do some bathrooms. Found a nice mesh at tarox4sims2, the badantik set, 8th from the bottom. Going to work backwards and TRY to do one to match my grow-up sets. So far, Sesame Street is going well and should be published this coming week. Enjoy!Victorian Inspired Kitchen Decorative Objects
It always pays to double check your set uploads. I almost forgot to include a few recolor. Somehow, my Victorian Inspired Kitchen Part IV set has grown to 24 objects. Everyday I think of something new to create for the kitchen. I love creating decorative objects, but enough already!Some Stuff
I would just like to say a few things this week.First, it is now officially the 30th here (it's midnight though), but it doesn't look like I will have the Autumn Stuff Mini Pack up today. All the meshes are finished, but I have to finish making the recolors, and some other stuff. I should have it this week, if not next weekend.
Second, I probably will not be putting the Autumn stuff mini pack up on a Yahoo! Group. I will probably be putting it up on my website instead.
Third, since October is only a day away, expect some new creations to be uploaded here this month. I will be starting with 3/4 neighborhoods.
That's all I have to say for now...

New Bedding On The Way
I made a bunch of original bedding designs a while back and wasn't quite happy with the shadows - they looked too flat. I finally got them to my liking and am excitedley uploading them as I type. And, to toot my horn, they look real nice in the game. If only I could find the time to play :)Can't wait to see what you guys think!
Feline Eye Sets
I may have seemed quiet lately but that assumption couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, I've been busily working on a number of projects behind the lines but more on those details at a later date when they're closer to fruitition.Now, the real reason for this post. I sat down today and created brand spankin' new feline eyes. :) In fact, you will have not just one set to choose from but a whopping three - regular feline eyes, default replacement feline eyes and finally feline contact lenses! In fact, you need not limit yourself to using these eyes just for cat Sims - they work well for all sorts of anthropomorphic (animal) Sims so get creative and test them out.
As you can see, the sets come in 5 colours, including yellow, green, blue, orange and brown. I've even set these up to have dominance/resessiveness properties that reflect the most common occurances of eye colour in cats, so yellow and green are dominant while blue, orange and brown are resessive and you should see this reflected for the most part in your games. :)
I expect these sets will release either this coming Saturday or Sunday, just in time for October and Hallowe'en, my favourite celebration!
Happier Now
OK. I think I have all the existing kitchens updated. Sorry it took so long.I've been having an issue where I could not see my custom banner. Not that it's that great a banner, but I couldn't see anyone else's either. Found the problem. McAfee Privacy Service. Go to Options, Block Ads and there are two checkboxes. Block Ads on this computer and Block Pop-Ups on this computer. I unchecked Block Ads and can now see the banners. Thought I'd put this here in case anyone else has this problem.
Autumn colors
Shades of autumn in white moldings, the second in the series. Be sure to find the matching floor tiles for these walls.
Next tutorial - on Gambrel Roofs
What the dickens is a gambrel roof? - I maybe hear someone say! :lol: (BTW, as you may have noticed, tutorials aren't showing in our 'Coming Soon' sidebars (yet?!), so I'll keep adding them to my blog.) Well, I put a wee Preface to this tutorial explaining, and showing some examples. They're now most common in North America so most guys there will know. It's a roof with 2 different slopes each side - 'gambrel' comes from gamba (latin) = leg, so it kind of means "bent at the knee"! As always, a pic is better than a hundred words:
Victorian Inspired Kitchen Part IV
Finally! Victorian Inspired Kitchen Part IV, is scheduled for publication October 1st. At this time the set includes 19 objects, several new meshes, in addition to recolors. Happy Simming!
Teens Ruffle Skirt
Another body mesh - teens ruffle skirt. A bit different from girls skirt, just one layer, but I think this style works better for teens. Still testing this one, plus need more recolors. Watch my October calendar if you wish to get this mesh.
A Few Preview Shots
I just created a few more objects, which are decorative for the Victorian Inspired Kitchen, Part IV set. Some of the new objects are decorative plates and potholders set, knives set, utensils, and a few more kitchen objects. Here are a few screenshots.
New Clothes SOON!
It's been awhile since I've written anything! I've got lots of new clothes but I'm having trouble uploading to the site. I know the great folks here at TSR are working on it--so I'll be excited to get all the new things submitted soon!Working on new set
Everything is settled, it's time for me to get back to my position in here. I have an idea about a new kid set; it's in my mind for three months already. That will be the next series I am going to submit here. In the meantime, I am making new kitchen items for the "Pinewood Series", and the next will be dining room items, than living room� Guess my new kid set will just pending until the whole �Pinewood Series� is finished! Please come back in a few days for the new set! |
My first tutorial
I've written a tutorial for one method of adding an alpha part to a body mesh. I'm planning on writing a second tutorial as well, using a cloned part.Bright
Here a preview of my Sunbright kids room,When I made the main screenshot, I forgot I hadn't included the bedding.So here it is!
Where Am I?
For those of you who have dropped by from time to time, you'll probably note that its now late September, and I haven't submitted anything since June.It'll probably stay that way. I got a promotion...I'm now a High School principal, and my time with my family becomes ever-so-much-more important, as my hobby time is down to nearly nothing.
When I do have some time, I'm spending it on some other projects; my vocal group (The Four Dots and a Dash), the Viking novel I've been working on (for the last six years...nearly finished chapter one)and my fireworks business (yes, I sell fireworks in the summer).
For those in the community who know me, and I'm not very personable online, I still hang around. I still donate here and there, and I am still browsing and amazed at the things being created by this community. It's top-notch, and I'm very proud to have been a part of it all.
Big props to Xandher. She has been my buddy throughout good times and bad.
Fionn

Marley Wentworth
Since my kids are now back in school(my son is in 5th grade and my daughter is in 4th grade) I thought this would be a good time to make some clothes for my Sim children and yours. So this week's project is some skins for girls, based on the Marley Wentworth dolls by the Tonner Doll Company.
Rules of recoloring my creation.
Rule 1: If you are recoloring my clothes, you can but you cannot change pattern, design, and logo in anyway, that is mean that you can't change shape or design of pattern, design and logo but you can recolor it.Rule 2: About changing my alpha texture for clothing, hair, make-up, and eye. You cannot edit alpha texture no matter what because if you recoloring my make-up, eye, clothes, and hair. I would like see alpha texture stay the way I made.
Rule 3: If you recolor my clothes, hair, make-up, and eye. You always must give an proper credit to me.
Rule 4: If you want to add an shine to my hairstyle, that is ok with me.
Rule 5: If you want to to upload the sim to here, at TSR. With your sims wearing my clothes, hair, eye, and make-up. Sure, you can but important rules is that you always must give an proper credit to me.
Rule 6: If you want to submit an screenshot or story with your sims wearing my creation, (hair, clothes, eye, etc) Sure! You can because I will be more happy if you submit an screenshot or story with my creation inside it, you can and you don't have to give an credit to who made this creation.
The REAL Lord Tiko
Some of you have asked about our cat, Lord Tiko. He's a Birman. The breed is originally from Thailand. He's 11, and was a bit of a tough boy when younger, but recently I've learned how much cats love learning tricks - almost as much as dogs! Boy, I wish I'd known this earlier on. ;) So far we have all kinds of games with him rolling over and putting his paws in the air or lying on one side - he responds to gestures more than words so I point or wave. And he loves games with rituals, like taking the morning coffee up to Ruth (who's fast asleep in bed!). He purrs like a motorbike as we go up the stairs, and leaps on her in bed then lies next to her! Here he is:
