New tutorial - categorizing clothes
My categorizing clothes tutorial has just been published. It will help you to change clothes category by editing a package file. I've described two different methods in the tutorial: one for beginners and the other for advanced users. You will need SimPe program.2 small sets added also
By the way I've also added a set of (2) realistic "Flint Cobbles" Ground Cover, if you missed seeing them, and also a set of (6) fairly convincing flaky outdoor planking for those of you who like bridges as much as I do!!! They're under Sets in my archive .....
IKEA Kitchen Set

Time telling wall clocks
Work in progress - working wall clock meshes. I plan to make several different shapes. For now I just got the mesh to work and to be wall based, haven't tested it in a long run yet. The mesh has no purpose except decorative I suppose, but it is fun to watch as the time corresponds to the game time!
SummerTime!
I'm still really stuck in "Summer" mode! I just made a bunch of Tropical Style Paintings and uploaded them. Hope they brighten up your Tropical Sim Homes! Sue :)Screenshot of New Set
The name of the new set is Noblesse Oblige and has been uploaded but not yet approved. Until then, here's a screenshot of the set. I hope you like it! :)
Where am I?
Getting married. Today, 12 noon (it is now 2.00 am and so I ought to go to bed in order that I'm awake and manage to turn up for my own wedding in time).After that, it's back to making Bad Things for our favourite game!
Back soon!
Retro Dresses
Hi again! Just a quick word to show you my new work! It's a kind of retro dress : I was going for something Retro, but I'm not sure it fits the style now... thus the name of the set, "Almost Retro" :-) Hope you'll like it! The mesh is by Sunair!
I'm Back
Well I'm back from my holiday.Here's what's comming to day.
It's a 2 tile version of my Fenton sets.
Have fun!
New Set
Since I've not been able to spend a lot of time with my Simmies or in photoshop, I've just been puttering around a bit playing with different colors and patterns. I have a bedroom set in progress and it looks like it may end up being high, classic victorian using, of course, Cashcraft's meshes. I have a few more pieces to work with and I need to tweak some of those that are pictured. I haven't even thought up a name for the set. Sometimes I think that's the hardest part! lolI really wanted to do an arts and crafts room however I really haven't had time to look for the appropriate meshes so, I'll file it in my idea folder for now.
I don't know if anyone actually reads this but just in case someone does, I want to take just a second to say how much I appreciate everyone's comments and support. It really does mean a lot to me and encourages me to make more. So, a big thank you to all of you! :)
New pic of Weasley's House
After much revision, here's the final version of this fascinating, brain-cell-scrunching building !
Harry Potter : The Weasley's House
In a busy week with other things, I've spent every spare moment working on this. It got so difficult it became a sort of obsession! It's The Weasley's House ("The Burrow") as seen in the movie Harry Potter 2: The Chamber Of Secrets.It's taken me three demolitions and rebuilds! I had a version which at the higher levels (my version has 10 levels) was just 2 square towers, like the model in the movie and like the little add-on towers at Hogwarts. It had split-level stairs winding round everywhere ..... but there was no room for any bedrooms! So I've expanded the house a little with a middle tower which has all the staircases, giving four nice bedrooms with 3 bathrooms.
Of course what is unique about the house design is that the front tower and the back platform veranda are built above sloping roofs. In my version the stairwell and chimney wind through the larger front roof.
Tutorials, Tutorials, Tutorials
Hi everyone! I have just uploaded some more stuff for you - hope you like this little lot. I've been busying myself with more PSP tutorials which is why it's taken me a couple of weeks to get this new stuff to you.It seems like Summer has gone in this part of the world and we are experiencing cooler weather - really cool, that is to the point of wearing sweaters and switching on the heating! Oh well, that's England for ya, or maybe it's global warming!
So, Happy Simming/Downloading/Creating everyone - until next time ...
New Garden set..

Thank You!
I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who has left comments on my creations. I appreciate all of your feedback so much! I try to thank everyone individually, but lately I've had so many comments that I'm afraid I am missing some Thank You's! Yikes! So here's a big THANK YOU! to everyone! You make sharing my creations worth while! Sue :)Masquerade Ball
I'm afraid I couldn't get excited about the Go For Broke Theme Week, and have in fact gone completely the other way and created my two most decadent sets so far: a set of six luxurious period ballgowns in silk, satin and velvet, and a set of six intricate and colourful Venetian-style masks.The ballgowns come in two styles, three colours in each style.
The meshes required for the ballgowns can be downloaded from Besen's Sims2 Page. I only recently discovered this wonderful site - thanks, Kalynn! It's crammed full of gorgeous meshes. The two I've used for this set can be found at:
50s skirt
and
Rococo gown
The shorter gown was inspired by a Renaissance Maiden costume available from various costume hire websites. The full length gown was inspired by a gorgeous Rococo gown designed by The Very Merry Seamstress
All gowns are available for adults and young adults.
The masks will show up under costume make-up in the game and are available for Sims of all ages, male and female.
Preview for September's Sets
I will take a rest on August since I need to retake a couple tests at university on August 19th & 21th --I won't upload anything at that time. Anyway, here are what I will upload on September.
Best regard

House Number Collection
Haven't you always wanted house numbers for your Sims' houses? Haven't you always wondered why such a simple concept is grossly lacking among custom content? Me too, so I made a set. :)Just in time for TSR's Go For Broke theme week, I'm sending your way this handy little set. At only �5 a piece, even your poorest Sims should be able to afford to number their new, overly priced home.
The set consists of 3 new meshes - left, center and right, which you can mix n'match to create any single, double or triple digit number and better yet, all can be placed without the need for any cheat codes! Plus, you can still place wall lights or any other wall-mounted item along with the numbers.
This base set is made from black iron. Additional recolours in white, brass and weathered copper will follow. Expected release is approx. Wed. Aug. 16'06, or perhaps Thurs.
Summer vacation
With summer coming to an end, my kids have 3 more weeks off then it's back to school. So, we are taking a bit of a vacation and I won't be around quite as much in the enxt 2 weeks.I hope everyone enjoys my contribution to this moths theme (see my upcoming releases), as well as several plants that were made to work both in the garden and with my urn planters.
Did Someone Say Kitchen?
OK, I have furnished my entire (Sims) Victorian home with vintage furniture and decorative objects, but my kitchen is 1950's mid-century chic. Yes, I have avoided the kitchen, because it is a lot of work. Cloning counters, and having them work properly can be difficult. I started a kitchen 1 year ago, and it is still incomplete, EEK! Therefore, instead of waiting until I complete an entire kitchen set, I will release vintage kitchen furnishings as I create them. What is up first? Here are a few screenshots....
Lavender Revisited
I just uploaded a new mini-set, "Lavender Revisited." The set's release date is August 15th, it is a set of recolors of some of my previous vintage objects.Busy Busy Busy!!!
Well a Mother's Work is never done!Have been a busy busy woman lately...I have a football player and this year 2 of my girls joined the ranks of Cheerleaders.
So I have been running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off...so I hope o be getting more stuff up soon.
Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments..they really have made my day.
So glad you liked the last round of bathing suits and dresses for Adult females..I love bright colorful patterns so they were a lot of fun.
I have had people ask for other ages of the dresses and shirts and bathing suits for the men folk to match.
So we will see what I can do.
So just wanted to thank you all!!!
More from red to come soon..including more Purple and many more skins!
Red
More Emme plus-sized fashions
*More pics added* I didn't get as many of the plus-sized skins done last week as I wanted because I was also trying to get an update ready for my Yahoo group(which I hadn't updated in 4 months). So the rest of the plus-sized fashions based on the Emme dolls should be submitted this week. Pics will be posted as they are completed.*Note: Some of these will not be exact copies. I wanted some variety in the color choices and as an artist I felt that some small changes to the outfits had to be made to make them more "Sims" friendly.**
Spot the Dog
This is work in progress, a dog statue of floor size and table size. Will make some more recolors but the actual model is more or less complete. Took me a while, this type of organic shaped meshes is always a difficult one. But it turned out more or less the way I wanted :).
Reflective Floor
I have had requests about where to locate the reflective floor that I use in my screenshots. The floor was created by the Fabulous Teko (love love love his designs) at Reflexsims - the direct link to the post is here. Please keep in mind that you need to be registered to this site in order to download the file - but it is worth it! |  |
jsf Designs 8
Due to publish after the trashy theme, August 25, a companion to the popular transom wall, a fav of mine purple wisteria, and the classy acanthus wood moulding with aqua textured wallpaper. I hope your Simmies will like them.
Honnoi Preview
Next on my list of uploads Honnoi previewed here.Sometimes I wish I could whip up a recolor in just a couple of hours.It never works that way at all,I was thinking today how much thought really goes into a room recolor.How absorbed one gets in choosing colour, texture,design and complimenting furntiure.How wonderful it feels when everything comes together nicely,and yet frustrating on other times when nothing seems to flow as you would like it to. Sometimes you get it just as you like first time and then other times redo,redo and redo.That final feeling of satifaction that comes from achievement and completion lasting only momentarily until the next idea pops in your head.Then off you go again,going over the same excited creative urge and process all over again.Well that was just my thought's for today!
From now on in my future rooms ,that may have reflective floors in the set.I realise that not everyone wants or has powerful pcs to enable them to use the reflective floors alot in their game.So I will add the Homecrafter version also.
New-born Architect
And now here am I as an architect for your Sims.I've been building Sim houses forever, but only after my computer crashed recently deleting all my data including my lovely neighbourhood and reinstalling the game from scrach, I can now submit my works because I still don't have any custom content in my game and so I don't have to think whom I should ask for permissions to use their objects etc.
My only sadness is that I have created a beautiful cemetery in my lost neighbourhood that I wanted to share with all of you and now I cannot do that. :(
Upcoming Objects
I am really terrible at keeping my Blog up to date, I have several sets due for release, firstly a set of rubbish to mess up the backyards...
Then I have a set of Candle-Lights, made from a Maxis Mesh hidden in the Files, I've jiggled it to make it a working Light, only the Base is recolourable not the candle.
Update - Wrought Iron Stairs
There was a problem with my Wrought Iron Stairs when recoloring the bottom step. You only need to download the mesh file, old recolors will still work.Work in progress - more Helios windows
A few more Helios windows for you to play :). They have sort of sectional look. The windows will come in 1-tile, 2-tile, and 3-tile versions. No expansion pack required. Plus matching door and curved window. I also have a couple of short Helios windows that I will through in to have them published with this set.
Oops!
I did it again...I forgot to include the flatware case recolor, which is part of my Victoriana Decor set. The file should be available later today. Sorry, for the confusion *face red* Available later today...
Screenshot
I thought I would add a screenshot from one of my latest recolour's.A bathroom with a nice large shower area, seahorse windows recolored from Windkeepers fab helio window.Probably best suited for last months theme.Oh well we got to go the way our creative mood takes us. I've been so busy I haven't created as much as I had hoped this week,the time has completely run away with me.

Surf on over to the Beacon Falls website for all the details - there is a full and 'lite' download available, depending on your Internet connection and computer specs, installation instructions, plus extra goodies such as previews of some of the families and signature Sims and custom Beacon Falls logo t-shirts for your Sims to wear. :)

Sweet tops
As someone suggested to me, I did a few tops inspired by my evening silk dresses. I think they look cute, tough it was pretty easy to do :P I hope you'll enjoy them!
More Pleasantville beauties for you...
To help you celebrate the days of a misspent youth, I've made some garden decorations. If you never once ran off with a supermarket trolley, then I'm sorry, but you simply did NOT have any kind of misspent youth whatsoever.
Patrician Pedestal Collection
I've had a few people asking me whether I will be submitting my new mesh creation - the Patrician pedestal - and the answer is most certainly yes! In fact, you will find this lovely little end table will also be available in 5 additional marble recolours, including grey, black, brown, navy and green. I've just submitted them today so hopefully your wait will not be too long; expect them around Wednesday, August 9'06.
Brough Castle x2
I've now added 2 versions of this real-life castle, one for Nightlife only, one for Nightlife and University.Brough Castle (pronounced 'bruff') is one we fell in love with on our last holiday - and also its sister castle Brougham (pronounced 'broom' - isn't English fun!!!). It's now a ruin, but I've re-created it as accurately as possible as it was in the 15th century. The only change is that the real courtyard is much wider - it would need a 5x9 lot to fit in!
Apparently Wordsworth and his sister played over the ruins of both castles as kids.
The courtyard was cobbled in the 15th C, so I've made a pair of Flint Cobble ground covers for it, which will be available separately as well. They look better than floor tiles, I think! ;)
