Coming soon - animated hair
After days of pulling my hair I finally got everthing working. New pigtails hair mesh for toddlers and girls. The hair is fully animated, the pigtails will bounce when a girl moves her head. Similar to how Maxis pigtails hair works. Not many custom meshes are animated this way, I know just one so far, so I'm happy to publish one myself!
Dot Cloth
Dot have started a fun tread in the object forum http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=309803 I had to play and here it is :)
Harley and Ferrari
The last set of skins for now from the Yahoo group I closed will be submitted this week. (The other set is holiday themed so you won't see those until Christmas time.) They are based on Harley Davidson and Ferrari themed Barbie dolls. I will also be sending in a couple of skins for that theme that I hadn't released before. Preview pics will be added over the next few days.Okay, I made that bit up
Those of you who went to my dripping tap today and saw that it stated 'Requires CEP', only to snort and walk away again - well, you can jolly well go back and download the tap from here.

You see: I made that bit up (about it requiring CEP). No, I DON'T know why. Don't bother me with stupid questions; you know it only makes me go create something horrible for your game.
Now, I'm sure you will ALL do the decent thing and download that tap. But, as with all my creations, don't expect it to do anything even remotely useful.
SpringGardening2
A second set of walls for the FA Spring theme. I have remade the BlackPrimrose wall, I think its much better now, I hope you will try this one. These walls can be used in Victorian houses too. Leave a comment if you like any of these. Thanks, judi
Flowers
Thank you, I had two comments on colours for them. The cream colour was to near the white one and the mesh fil I have already submitted is yellow, so here you go, a peach and an orange to add to the others :)
Swing
The kids have been easter hunting for their Easter eggs and we have painted the real eggs that we will have for breakfast tomorrow. Back to creating! The "swing in tree" seems to be working. No pic yet. The swing will sit in the air and you will have to put the swing tree beside to have it look right. Or you can use it as a magic swing :)
Bathrooms Galore!
I have done four recolours of Sims2Play's excellent bathroom http://sims-2.gameslife.ru/objects_sets16.htm. I hope you enjoy it!
Skintones
Well so much for uploading my skintones,perhaps that will teach me to leave them in my folder to long.Thanks to the Family fun pack I lost the entire contents off my projects folder.(Oh I know I should have backed it up)and maybe I would have, had I realised family fun pack was more like an EP than just a few extra addons. I realised when I uninstalled the fun pack,that split second of studity and the click of the mouse.Babooom all gone.I wasn't entirely happy with how all the skintones where anyway,origionally having made them for my own use,I didn't worry to much.I didn't think anyone would like them enough to want them.I'll start from scratch again.This time upload them pronto.
Happy Easter
Happy Easter, wishing you a blessed, and safe holiday!Dove House
NOTE: Please do download Windkeeper's 'Plastic Hedges' for this house and replace the Maxis ones. I did use Maxis hedges in this upload ... but the gardner/occupants will not be able to trim the hedges because of the brick borders I placed around the flower beds. I would have used Windkeeper's hedges in my upload ... but they made the upload file size huge! Sorry!This design is based on a house I did for a contest on another site. My 'user' name at the other site is not 'galilea' ... so I don't want anyone to freakout and think I am guilty of design-theft! ... heehee!
Happy Easter to everyone!
Glass and more glass
I know, "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"! But to get something in for next week's gardening show, I've made a glass-roofed planthouse called Potter's Planthouse. It was fun to sort it out - most of the plants are growing INSIDE the house, in pots, even sinks and basins! It's for a florists' home business, and the shop has a cool glass roof too .....Work in progress - kids glasses
I want to make more accessories for a toddler so I decided to make glasses. Selected the no frame glasses from adults and made them available for toddlers and also for kids. Needs more testing. And the kids don't seem too happy about them, lol!
Yes I am alive
Well I have finally created something besides houses. I wanted my very own sims of Cher soooo I made her to the best of my ability. I know I have a long way to go but I'll get there. lol I do have several houses that are unfinished that I will be working as I get time.I also have some clothes that I have been working on that are taking time to adjust and to make look decent. Soon I'll have those up too, I hope :D
Easter Bunnies
It seemed appropriate given my love of bunnies that I should create something with a bunny theme for Easter. The obvious choice seemed to me to be a set of cute toddler dresses with bunny appliqu�. I had forgotten how much of a pain it is producing good preview pictures of toddler outfits. However, after quite some time playing(!) the game I managed to obtain reasonable screen shots of the dresses and I have now submitted the set. It comprises four dresses: two white, one pink and one lilac, all with layered white broderie anglaise skirts and bunny appliqu�. I think they're cute. I hope you agree. Happy Easter!Somebody once said...
Somebody once said that blogs are the pointless ramblings of frustrated, talentless egotists. Talentless because, if they COULD write, then they would use their skill for something a little more productive than pollute the world with their pointless, inane thoughts that nobody could be bothered to read anyway...Which is, quite frankly, rubbish! It is when it comes to MY intellectual musings. Naturally, you agree. It would be unwise of you NOT to agree.
In fact, I shall say that, whenever you hear someone cite: "Somebody once said...", you'll find they can't name who that 'somebody' is. This is because that 'somebody' never existed. No, your storyteller is passing on THEIR opinion to you by proxy: blaming a 'somebody else'.
Don't worry: I'll find them.
Flower
I newer work one one object at the time :) I made these flowers and they are ready for uppload. Would there be need for more colours?
Sea & Sky
This is my final set of embroidered gowns although I may still submit a few individual gowns. This set comprises seven gowns in shades of blue and green, some satin with pale embroidery, some velvet with dark embroidery. Again, they all use Rosemat's Giverny mesh available at http://rosemat.free.fr/Pronupsims2/indexeng_pronupsims.php?page=10a.Comments
A few days ago I switched my comments back on again after leaving them off.After today I am seriously considering switching them off again.So I apologise beforehand to the person who wanted me to switch them on,as the way I feel right now, I may not leave them on much longer.I think it a real shame that there are a few people out there who feel the need to insult or leave negative comments.By this I mean those who have neither anything constructive or sensible to say.Ok, if you dont like something that someone takes the time to create to your taste or not,why bother to take the time to insult or malign that person for their efforts? On the whole people respect others efforts and are very nice,it just a shame for these few bad ones who want to spoil it for everyone.
A message to those taking the time leaving horrible comments to either myself, any other FA or creator in general.At least have some some constructive critism not just insults.And at least try and create something yourself,and see if you think you can do better at least that will be a positive out of your free time and not a negative.
Swing
The longest friday there is... At least it was when I was a kid.I am in the process of making a swing in tree to sheer me upp. It is actually a swing and a tree. not finished yet.
Eep!
Okay, this is now the second time I'm typing this out because clever girl closed the window by accident! *snorts*Ahem. What I was saying, was basically I know I'm terrible at blog keeping. BUT I'm still going to point you in the direction of my new (ish) blog that I've set up to track my weird and wonderful journey across the north-eastern states of America. Go on! Go have a peek: HERE
Anyhow, back onto Sims stuff. I hope you've noticed my forthcoming Easter releases (and if not, why not?!). Lapin Community Garden is a work of art - you've gotta take your Simmish kids and see how many Easter eggs you can find in the Easter egg hunt. Seriously! I hid 15 Easter eggs during the creation of the garden. You can go and find them on the 16th!
Shower
The tursday before Easter, the witch day. We had some little wiches here begging for candy lol.I made a shower to match the pee tree. A watering can in a tree :)
Requests...a quick Q & A
Hey, Sam, I love your work. Do you take requests?Well, thank you very much, and yes I do take requests. Please understand that I cannot make everything that gets asked of me, as I have projects of my own that I want to complete as well. I will do my best to make what is in my range of expertise, but there are some things that I just am not interested in(anime characters) or simply cannot do(animal skins). I also ask that you be patient with me on the time factor for completing requests, as I have a real-life job and a family that also demand my time and attention.
How do I go about making my request?
Very simple. Just PM me with the particulars(be as specific as you possibly can) and include links to photos if you have some. If the photos cannot be linked to, and need to be sent via email, I'll reply back with my email addy so you can send those my way. If I have taken on your request, I will PM you again when it is completed, with links to preview pics for you to see. That way you can let me know if there are any changes you want made, or if you like it as is.
Can you make your stuff here at TSR be free?
Nope. No can do. The free selections are chosen by an automated program once a week (on Thursday), not by any individual so we have no control over what is appearing in the free section. Just keep checking back each week to see if the item or items you are wanting have been moved into the free section.
Happy Easter!
I wish you all a happy Easter! Have nice holidays and much fun with the bunnies and eggs :) Regards SophiaGiverny Mesh
I understand that some people continue to have difficulties downloading the Giverny mesh used as the basis of many of my gowns. This beautiful mesh was created by Rosemat at Pronupsims, and can be downloaded free from that site. Pronupsims has a number of URLs and the one I have generally given in my installation instructions (because it's the simplest version) www.pronupsims.net appears not to work for some people.So here are the revised installation instructions:
The mesh required for the silk formal gowns can be found at Pronupsims and is called "Giverny":
1. Go to Pronupsims2 bridesmaids dresses page at http://rosemat.free.fr/Pronupsims2/indexeng_pronupsims.php?page=10a
2. The second dress from the left is pale pink. If you hover your mouse over the dress you will see at the very bottom left of your screen that the file is called SertieRose
3. Underneath this dress it says "Mesh" and if you hover your mouse over this link you will see at the very bottom left of your screen that it is called Giverny
4. Click on "Mesh" to download the Giverny mesh.
PeeTree
I had this silly idea and just had to try and make it. A pee tree for male sims :). I did got it to work but then I had to allow person intersection so the sims will walk right trough it. To prevent that you have to put a bush or something behind the tree. The tree also have a magic flush lol Silly, but I thought this was fun :)
Vintage Victorian Part III
Vintage Victorian Part III scheduled for release, Apr. 15th. Part III included 3 new meshes, working Armoire,(disquised as a linen cabinet), vanity cabinet with glass doors, and new low-tank toilet.Mailbox cover is now working!!!
Thats right! That same mailbox cover that wasn't possible to use since the release of OFB! The one that people kept bugging me about! FIXED! You can place it on top of the mailbox again. Not only that, it NO LONGER REQUIRES A CHEAT CODE!Victorian Velvet
Tonight I have submitted a set of six more embroidered gowns with a period feel which I've called "Victorian Velvet". These are basically just inverted versions of the "Fragrant Flowers" gowns which I felt resulted in a velvety appearance. The gowns come in jewel tones as follows: emerald, jade, antique gold, tourmaline (deep pink), amethyst (purple) and ruby. I'll probably submit one further set of embroidered gowns and then possibly some individual "leftovers" which I didn't feel fitted into any of the sets.Trimming the fat
Before I begin, I would like to explain that I absolutely do NOT advocate 'diets' (read: calorie-counting, 'does-my-bum-look-big-in-this', self-starving type of dieting) at all. No way. Never. No excuses.So, given this, whose fat would I like to trim, exactly?
Well, Andrea (Shakeshaft) nudged me in the direction of my invisible driveway. It was a rather large 600kb. This is because it was made by a complete beginner (me - back in October, when I'd only just learnt to recolour).

After its work-out in SimPE, it is now a much leaner 2.5kb, so if you're a lot builder and would like a little less Cyclonesue bloatware in your lots, download the revised version now.
Visitors
I love to be able to see how many visitors this little mini site has. Moore than I expected! It�s the feedback that gets me going :)Formal & Designer
*Pics added* The next set of skins that I'm submitting from my now defunct Yahoo group will be a mix of formal and designer wear based on Barbie dolls. I will be including both "normal" and "formal" options for the formal wear. For the designer collection, you'll find a classic American jeans look from Ralph Lauren, a sleek black formal from Givenchy, a business suit from Anne Klein, a pink and black formal from Escada, and a simple black turtleneck and skirt combo from Donna Karan for her DKNY line.


And I'm Out!
Well, not really. I'm heading to my brother's wedding. My flight leaves tomorrow, but we're staying over at my great uncle's house tonight because the airport is 3 hours from here. I'll be back middle of next week. I was hoping to have 3 new sets up and ready to go before I left. But alas, it didn't work out that way. So here's a little preview of what I may or may not get uploaded before I leave and/or while I'm there. And then a preview of what's to come when I get back. Sorry for the size of them, but I don't have time to resize.
Skinning Break
Even though skinning is still my favorite,every once in while I fancy a change from skinning mainly object recoloring which I have been these last few days.Sometimes I open bodyshop sit and stare at it, even though the ideas are always there and still flowing in,the urge and excitement to begin the creation just isn't there.That is the time when I need the creative change.Maybe I will manage to get my finger out and upload the skin tones that I have been asked about so many times.I would have uploaded before now, but am not entirely happy with the other ages skintones.
New Eyes Set - Tristar
Hello all and sorry for the lack of updates. I'm really busy so I can't update as much as I'd like to. I've made a new eye colours set called Tristar. I hope you will like it. ;)NL Unlocked Flowers
Due to several request, I have created a slightly smaller version of this flower arrangement that can be placed on all surfaces, including fireplace mantels. Due NOTE (as stated in the download): this file is a slave file of the unlocked floor based mesh and does require that mesh for the textures. It should be published/available for download within a few hours.Update - plastic garden
Some minor changes to plastic shrubs and hedges - I removed the "View" option from them. Now sims will no longer gaze at them dreamily as if they were statues. Made the same change to two terracotta pots. You can re-download all the updated files from this page.Ombre Lipstick Set
Just thought I would share with you a screen of my upcoming lipstick set, "Ombre". This collection of lipstick is duotoned with a metallic finish. Its very dramatic and bold. I hope you will all like it!
Comming soon - bunny ears!
Bunny ears as accessories for all ages. Coming April 15th. Can be used with any hairstyle and can be combined with other accessories. I'm really happy I was able to make toddler bunny ears as well! By default toddlers don't have accessories or glasses in the game. Well, now they will!
