Into Romance??
Hi :) Just a small update, about what I have working on for some time now. A complete bedroom set in cast iron, some wicker and romantic pink fabric! If your Sims are into romance at all, you definitly want this set in their homes.
I admit this is not my usual contemporary style, but it is so much fun to make. The complete set contains the bed and canopy as shown on the picture, a single bed version just like it, an endtable, a vanitytable !!, a wicker trunk and some decoration objects to finish it of.
I am working on the final details now, so I quess it will be available next week.
My new set
Hi All,There was a small problem with the publising of my latest set Winterwarm Living, but it is fixed now.
The loveseat and chair in the pinkish/burgundy color, you couldn't find them in the objectssection here, they were only downloadable from the set section. Now they are, available in both sections.
So, if you couldn't find them at first, go and have second look, they are there, in full glory :)
I hope you all like the set!
Fix
I have been working allmost the whole day fixing and reuppload 4 objects. My country counters had a little white spot when using the dishwasher. I got rid of that and reupploaded the file
My future windows was showing bad shadows for some people. I fixed that on both and also made the windows fit in the frames to get better thumbnails. I also made the the small window the same "colour" as the big one.
More on 'Happy Holidays'!
I spent the best part of today's holiday on making a CCTV camera for a new series of lots I'm designing (well, that's if two lots is a 'series'...). The gentle mood for this blissful period of artistic creation could best be described as: seething fury. The camera came out perfectly after just ten minutes - most happy about that. I then spent a maddening seven or so HOURS trying to make a shadow appear behind it (note the time difference: 10 minutes for a whole camera; many HOURS for its stupid, weeny shadow!!!)... And you can see here the happy fruits of my labour. WHERE IS THE STUPID SHADOW?!!! (the dark patch behind is a wallpaper stain - not a shadow) (answers to be in by no later than IMMEDIATELY - preferably with your spare shadows attached. Naturally, I will take all credit)
Mirror and Towel
Slowly making more pieces for the bathroom set. I had to make the towel be placable everywhere, even in the middle of the room, to make it to be placeble under windows for example. Now the children tells me they are hungry, perhaps I would make som food instead of bathroom things!
Weather's Last Laugh
Okay, so I snorted about not much snow about this time of year (because winter 'proper' is only just beginning in England). So, this was the view from my front window this morning...
A Christmas Tale
My mail box seems to be flooded with emails from high street stores screaming "Buy Now!" and offering all sorts of expensive consumerist items I can surely live without, and mostly what I cannot afford. I figured therefore I'd design a more everyday typical Christmas scene. No snow, because most of the world isn't having snow yet. And no Playstation...

Returning Soon...
Since moving at the beginning of December, I've been without home internet. However, I should be hooked up again within the next week or so (hopefully by next weekend!) and back to posting the Soup family line and more items.While trapped offline, I've been working on a Bentform nursery set, which is coming along well, and a Flat Broke bedroom set. Both should be ready for release early in the New Year.
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays of their choice at this time of year :)
New set coming up
Hi! Today I have been working on a new recolor of the Contempo Livingroom set. I really liked the burgundy color of my last set, so I decided to use it again, but a in bit more brighter pinkish shade. Since it is winter (at least at this side of the planet) I went for a warm and cozy look, so included some felted pillows. Don't they look comfortable?
This is a glass vase, as you can see, it looks very simple, but believe me if I tell you, it took hours to get it look right.
These are only two objects, the set will include many more ofcourse, but I just wanted to show you my favourites to keep you updated.
The silly thing is, that every time I want to do a recolor, I end up making new meshes instead, and it all takes way more time as expected. But I quess you don't mind, :D
Log bathroom
I'm almost finished with the matching bathroom to my log style furniture sets. here is a quick preview of two pieces :) the entire set will consist of Shower, Sink, Tub, Toilet, Deco Shelf, Wall Light, log plant stands and matching bathmats.
Toilett
I finished the toilett. This is the best day of the year. Here we have the big family celebration on christmas eve. On the christmas day our family relax at home and everyone has new toys. Its a great parent day!
Magic of a Guest Book
I've just spent a very happy morning reading my guest book. I haven't visited the early pages in a very long while and reading everyone's comments made me deliriously happy. When I first came to TSR, I figured everyone had a guest book and people who wrote in mine were just being polite. Now I know different!Every creator already knows there's great satisfaction in seeing their creations downloaded. I DID worry about my zero-downloads jungle creepers in the week running up to Christmas but that turned out to be a site glitch! Yet it's something else altogether when someone returns and deliberately wants to sign a guest book or write a personal message.
Just want you to know that I appreciate all your wonderful words and comments.
Sue :)
PS: And if I hear ANYONE saying: "There goes Cyclonesue fishing for comments again!", I shall box a few ears!!!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
I wish you all a tremendous time over the holidays in whatever way you choose to celebrate (or not). Thank you all for your support, your comments and messages, the laughter and friendship I've enjoyed through 2005.I look forward to you all pointing and laughing at my woeful creations for 2006! ;)
Please don't ask for free uploads!
Some people don't realize that creators don't control what goes into a free section. The site does it automatically on a rotating basis. I have no way of knowing when and what will be available for free. Just keep on checking the free section :)It 's a lonely world out here....
It 's a lonely world out here....Or at least it can be, if it weren't for the comments, ratings, guestbook-entries and PM messages. So, thanks to all those Simmers who take the time to give feedback and support.
Some of you may not realise this, while browsing and downloading here at TSR, but all these "get-in-touch things" are very important for us creators. Feedback is what keeps us going, is what keeps us improving.
You might be in a hurry to play the game, feel to shy or whatever is holding you back, but if you want to share something don't hesitate to let me know.
Rate, comment, sign,PM...... and the sets will keep coming :)
Bathroom
Taking a break in the christmas cleaning! I got the bathroom sink to work. Off to make a toilett!
I'm frozen! ;)
In case any kind person wanders in here and finds things looking frozen or odd, all I can say is that while Version 6 is still being tweaked I can't edit or change anything in my Profile or Mini-Site, except to blog!Update Blog
Adding an entry in my blog, so that I will no longer see, "I have no blog entries."Then I am off to complete my Christmas shopping. Merry Christmas!
New Sink
I am home after chrismas food shopping. We made a new record, its the most expensive shopping we have done!As a reward I will have a break in front of the computer!
I am working on a bathroomsink and perhaps i will make a set to match - if i will get it to work that is!
Hi Happy Simmers
Welcome to my Blog... In the future I will give you updates about my new stuff, but for the next few weeks I don't think there will be much coming.
Our dog "Esra" had a car accident, and we had to let her go. She was in much pain and her back was broken. She was only 11 months old. Too Young. So see you in the next couple of weeks.
Welcome
Hi all! Welcome to my little corner at TSR! Thanks for stopping by!I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Abundant New Year!

Settling down?
It looks like it'll be a while before the new version of TSR has settled down! :lol: So I'm going to wait till after Christmas before adding any more new stuff.Meantime I'll be busy gathering and making materials to use in some parts of Rivendell from The Lord Of The Rings ....
Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday and a Great New Year ... !!!
Day 1 of TSR v6
It's coming together!It's been a rough day (for downloaders, creators AND the TSR development team), but I've just taken a look and it seems like most of my bizarre and useless items are back to haunt you.
Isn't that wonderful?!
Welcome!
Welcome to my own little place, here at TSR!Many thanks to the wonderfull TSR staff for making this possible.
This new blog feature is a geat opportunity to keep you all updated on what's new, what's next, what's happening. So, in the future, here you will find pre-previews of new sets, questions and answers and just all other things what's on my mind.

Merry Christmas
I am away for the week over christmas but have left one or two presents for you under the christmas tree! Namely a recolour of MangoSims bedroom and entrance way set - I decided to combine the two. I have done it in teal and in browns and grey and I am hard pushed to choose my favourite. If you look carefully you can see them in the column to the right. I hope you all have a wonderful, happy and safe christmas!Yeah!
Great new look for TSR and fab new mini-fa sites. I'm really liking this new design they worked hard on! Now I have been really busy lately, today is actually the first day of my in vitro treatments so the worrying has begun again with that! I haven't been able to create much lately but I send Kath some goodies for Sims1 fans, still lots of requests for stuff that was lost.Merry christmas & seasons greetings to you all!
Sideway Driveway
I saw this neat looking tutorial about using driveways sideways to make on-street parking. I tried it; it means meddling with a portal (a Maxis pavement tile to you and I). But it seems real easy AND people are getting this to work. Me? No, it all went wrong - big time. The driveway turned as it was meant to, I was able to place the vehicle and I built this super lot on the terrain.But the family wouldn't move in properly (the game simply hung), then the lot was crashing my game, then the neighbourhood it was in was crashing my game. So, bye-bye lot, family, neighbourhood. Bye-bye one and all.
Lesson number 17: back up your neighbourhoods before trying exploits like this! I hope I have learnt it - this time!
Middle Earth
Whoo Hoo! Balin-Dur, (Eye of Sauron Tower) is finished!!! The animation on the eye works great! It is also placable on lots, so you can build a house inside of it that your Sims can live in!!V.6 Released!
Ok....since everyone can now see our new "Mini Sites" it's time for me to leave a real blog entry.I'm enjoying having my own space here, and I hope everyone that comes in to take a peek likes it also. I shall continue to do my best to offer quality items for you to download and enjoy. I love to hear what you think so please feel free to leave comments in the ratings section, through PM's, or in my guestbook. Those comments help keep me motivated to work hard to provide you with good content for your Sims to enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Happy New Year
The set is ready and upploded for publishing on wednesday. I worked hard to get the animated decoration to look like I wanted but it was hard to make a prewiew of it, so it will probably not get many downloads!Arrived!
Well, waddayaknow? My very own vessel through which to bore you all to tears!Best you dig out the Kleenex right now, because those boredom tears will be rollin' pretty fast! I'm good at carping on and on about nothing.
Dang Thing's Finished
Ever started building a house because you wanted to build that ONE BIT?Well, I wanted to build a house with a garage on the FIRST floor (yes, I know: DUMB idea). And I did it; it CAN be done (see my not-very-good "Badger's Lodge"). Shame the rest of the house is, er, unremarkable, but it took weeks to decide what could be added to the aforementioned first floor garage.
Ho hum.
Welcome
Hello and WelcomeI hope you like my new TSR webpage. Special thanks to TSR for creating such a wonderful concept for the Featured Artists.
I hope you all have a merry, happy and safe Christmas
Hugs

Christmas Tidings
To celebrate the festive snowy season being enjoyed by marginally less than half of the entire planet, my contribution will be...A jungle scene! A few huts, creepers, rope bridges etc.
Well, I don't have any snow-topped trees, snow terrain or anything like that, so there we all are.
Lord Of the Rings
12-16-05Still trying to perfect my new Middle Earth. It is pre-decorated so I need to write a very easy to follow instruction file.
I think I get it just right, and then I find so mething that is not quite right. Isengard and Lothlorien is finished. Currently I am working on the animation of Balin-Dur...and the Lava crown of Mount Doom. Neighborhood objects have a bit different configuration then lot objects, so it takes me longer to figure out first if something is even possible!
Feature Artist, Tiko, is making the playable lots for this Middle Earth neighborhood....It is going to be great!!!
