Trouble!
Argh no! I've wanted to upload the tattoos for you, but somehow it won't let me upload the zip-file, neither directly from my computer nor from the file storage on TSR Dx I am very unhappy about it since I really want to share my tattoos with you!
Anyone who might know why I can't upload it?
Twiddling thumbs...
As for today, I'm planning on releasing some special story but I'm too caught up with making Message in a Bottle.
Message in a Bottle was originally a finished novel of mine, because I converted it to Sim story, I cutted some parts there because it will take so much chapter to get to the main and exciting parts.
I am still making that book's cover and planning of printing the book after I've finished making the Sim version of it because, I wanted to put Erin and Jasper's Sim versions inside of it. ^^
I also have a long line for next stories after the End of Message in a Bottle.
There is also a series commin' up.
I'm excited for Message in a Bottle: Chapter 9~! It was my favorite part and I hope you'll like it.
But if you didn't, that's okay because I did all my best to make that chapter and I have no regrets! xD
I feel so contented after I finished making that chapter.
The next chapters will be on fast-paced, because I wanted to start the romance slow... making the readers get to know about the character first. I wanted to make them... alive. Not just a mere characters of a story. but I wanted a world where every character inside the book has their own lives and stories.
I wanted to create a life at least in my dream world. ^^
It's my first time releasing my story publicity. I am writing for years and I don't have that many friends who are interested in books as much as I do. I'm glad to know other people with the same hobby as mine and even though most of you are at another edge of the world as I am, it gives me happiness to know that my story are appreciated by strangers like you. And those strangers became my friend. (I think I'm going too emotional or heart-talking, whatsoever.haha!)
Nah, it's just me who just finished writing a heart-warming manuscript. xD
Happy simming!

Let me introduce myself
Hiya everyone~
I don't really know what ot start with or what to say, but I've been a huge Sims fan all from the stort from Sims 1. I enjoy making stories about my Sims, and actually make them seem even more alive.
I've been avid lot artist for many years of playing sims 2 and created many neighbourhoods and universities myself and for my friends just for fun. I have never shared any of my creations online before, but after starting Sims 3 for real, and being around TSR daily, I've considered showing a few of the homes I've made.
I am also an avid fanfiction writer and simply adores anime (Japanese cartoons if someone's in doubt) and it has become a style for me and my Sims.
But enough about that! Please call me Lily as it is the name I go under around the web. Due to many years on the web, I often refers to myself in third person.
Have a nice day/night everyone <3
Account Name Change!
Hey people, so you might have noticed I have a new account name! :wub: I made this account what.. 8 years ago? and I havent used Kitriana as a name in 5 years, so I felt a change was in order <3
Hope this doesn't create too much confusion!
Hugs Angie

*SIGH*
It seems like I really lost all my sims and lots. *sadface* Currently recreating all my simmies. The house I was planning to upload soon is gone too, so yeaaa.. u.u Oh well, time to twitch and play with the CAS =D
*SIGH* I did finish chapter one of Dear You. But I guess I'm going to delete all the Dear You's and start from scratch. It doesn't really matter since I enjoy doing it ^-^ Please bear with me for waiting so long~!! I guess.. Because I'm in the CAS mood, I will upload a simple simmie. ;3
Have an awesome day! *hugs*
Waah! Me happy.
hehehehe.. Even though I had to re-install my game, I didn't lose a lot of CC! WOO HOOO. Happy me ^o^ But I DO need to recreate my sims.. and I did lose all my lots T__T ; *SIGHS* ; I guess, I've got some work to do now! .. Okee, there's nothing left I need to say. Have an awesome day!
Creating again
As you maybe have noticed I have started to create again for Sims 3 again after some time of absence. I lost all interest at the beginning of this year and considered myself done with the game. Apparently the game wasn't done with me, lol. Anyway, it's nice to be back again.
Nisuki uses super sad face. :(
So yea.. I have to re-install my game. That ain't a problem.. But.. I did lose a lot of CC.. Oh dear.. Just.. WHY!! WHY!! WHY!! ARGH *slams laptop* T^T
Oh well.. I do want to continue with the story "Dear You" . Thought, the characters might look different than in the introduction.. *SIGHS*
Well... FREAKIN' KETCHUP DROOL BANANA HAPPENS..
I kind of.. Maybe.. Messed up my sims 3 game.. I'm not sure yet.. If that's indeed the case.. I'll lose all my CC. Ok, not all, since I do have a map somewhere with some CC, but not all. Horrible! I'm happy that I DID finish the last chapter of Sudden End, but I also finished the first chapter of "Dear You." But If I really lose all the CC. I'm not sure if the right files will still be there for Dear You.. Oh wells, I only need to re-take the screenshots, but that's soooo hard to have the same shots! Oh gosh. Nisuki, you did a great job =.= Hopefully, I didn't lose the CC. Hopefully...
First Blog Entry~ Stuff is on it's way!
Hello all,
I have been looking through tons of creations on here and I have a pretty good idea on what I will be creating.
I would like to say that I will probably be doing clothing first and then moving on to objects, etc. Although I have a good amount of experience 3D modeling I'm still unsure of what to make, what size to make it, and all of that good stuff.
I definitely am new at this...but I plan on getting better--after all my dream career is a game designer. :)
Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I get started on my way to becoming a TS3 CC developer.

REJECTED? T___T
Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted a story, and finally I've finished it and post it on October 7th. I waited for them to approve and after 4 days, October 11th THEY REJECT IT? :(
I was so sad, and now I re-submited it AND I HOPE they will approve it because I really worked hard for it, I like the text and the screenshot and I'm just SO SAD. ToT
*Please approve my story Mr and Ms TSR* ~~ praying <3
I just wanted to say this, sorry again. :(
Much love, Maria ^w^
passed 100000 downloads :)
Hello followers,
Update in honour of suppassing 100000 downloads:
Sorry for my long absence! Have started a new job/new home etc AND new computer which currently I can't get my game running on properly. Thank you all for continuing to check in on my page, I shall be attempting to get back in to things soon. Probably not for a week or two, but come back then!
It may be in the end that I can only get the base game running, in which case my uploads will be available to more people, but probably not as good (e.g. houses). I have not given up yet! Just been very busy relocating!
Thanks for checking in :)
Annie xoxo
Fall--and all its holiday themes...
It's officially fall where we live. The high temperatures are in the 80s (we'll get cooler by the end of the month, but summer means 90s and 100s!) and the lows in the 50s, the pumpkin flavored coffees are out, the autumn-themed beers (for which DH is so grateful) are on the shelves, and I have dug my ratty pink fuzzy slippers out of storage. IT'S FALL!
I've seen a few people blog about the new season and I agree with them--with a season comes new inspiration! Smells, sights, sounds ... and feelings. There is a famous Halloween attraction near where we live--a haunted house--that I've never worked my nerve up enough to go see. However, as I listened to the radio the other morning, I heard one of their advertisements and was struck with--you guessed it--inspiration. It's time for Halloween!
Jalee and I have been working on our latest themed lots--mine is set to release on Oct 16, and Jalee's glam gothic mini Victorian (if you haven't heard, we have a series of 10x10 lots that we call our "Home Sweet Home" collection) should release soon after that--I know she's been working hard on it and will submit it soon.
I really do love ALL the seasons, but there is a new excitement when each one starts. For today, I shall celebrate in my awful slippers and a cozy sweatshirt with my pumpkin coffee.
Happy Simming...
Maggie
Install or Re-Install?
I wanted to update my sims to the newest 1.57 patch but I am having a problem because my Sims is istalled at different drive. T___T
I'm currently downloading the movie pack just to update my game, and if I succesfully updated through that process, I'd be really happy because I will save a lot of time and effort re-installing the WHOLE game. O___O
It would delay my next chapters if I have to re-install everything. I hope it will turn out fine.. Oh please Lordy~!
I'm excited about the next chapter, hopefully I could finish fixing my game so, I could get back to work! ^^
I managed to move all my super-huge-memory-eater-but-so-awesome-you-can't-delete, CCs to my other drive for smoother gameplay.
I hope everything turns out well. yaa~
Happy Simming~

About my male sim-model
Hi everybody!
I'd like to tell you about the male sim showing my creations.
His name is Victor, and he is a vampire with a very long biography. I've made him in times of clear base game when there was no add-ons and stuffs. Of course, his image has been improving together with the game. It started with a standard hairstyle and clothing, but now Victor has an elegant and complicated image thanks to different custom content. But his face and general appearance remain unchanged: white hair, very pale skin and blood-red eyes. With a coming of "Late Night" add-on, Victor had gotten his occult nature and become a true vampire.
I led him through all the game updates, and all this time I play only that character. So, we can safely say that Victor is a very ancient vampire, the immortal one and forever young.
I saw that many of you want to get Victor in your game. I'm very glad that you liked him, but I have to disappoint you. I can't share him because he takes a part in some art-project of mine: I write a big sim-story with this character. It is a very big and long project, and the sim will not be uploaded until the story is finished. This is at least. Sorry ––
I BAD GURL.
K. Just kidding, I'm far from being bad.. Maybe *smirks* Anyways! I've been building a new lot.. AND I'm writing Sudden End Chapter 9 AND Dear you Chapter 1. Why at the same time? I DON'T KNOW. One hour I'm at Sudden End, another hour I'm with Dear you. I CANNOT CHOSE. I've fallen in love with both chapters.. Oh. I shouldn't say that, should I? Anyways.... I'M OFF REPLYING TO MY MESSAGES.
CHEERS! Nisuki
Where to find me....
<p>Hello! I haven't been on here in a century LONG time. They even put oldmember in front of my username -_- lol.<p> All of my stats got wiped so I guess I'm starting over from scratch. <p>You could check out my Sims 2 videos/series on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/nesha227" target="_blank">youtube</a> channel. <p>I also have a <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/blog/nesha227" target="_blank">tumblr</a> channel</p>
Old TSR
Is it just me or was the old TSR better. I really wish they didn't change it. I liked being able to earn points everyday to get free stuff or even a free subscription for a day. Technically this website is illegal because they are not suppose to be able to sell content because the sims 3 has all the rights to it. so I mean they could at least go back to letting us earn free stuff. It's only fair. I don't know why they changed it but CHANGE IT BACK. If you agree leave it here. Rant over.
Oh TSR, you are a gift from the Gods
How perfect is it that you can create just want you want for your Sim? So perfect!
I've just finished making a tattoo pack (that I'll be uploading soon) and I'm proud of myself. I'm not talented like the other TSR artists, but I'm satisfied with the result ^^
Drop by my screenshot to see them and tell me what you think!
Wolfhybrid
I'm now making wolfhybrid dogs !
Coming soon! :)
I think there are to few of them on this site but I want to make them original so it's gonna take a few days!
( sorry for my bad english im from holland hehe )
Hope you guys will download them when i put them up
Byeee xoxo
A Tender Eternity.
Bwah~ I'm currently wondering about a plan for a new house. I thought, maybe another brick house.. But I think I'm going to play with white plates. The inside is going to be more white, beige, brown -ish. with wood.. Sounds like a simple house, and that's what I like! xD Anyways.. I'm dozing off with my chapters for my stories. And yeaaaaa...
BUT, before it's Halloween, The First two chapters of "Dear You" Should be done. If not, I failed T___T
Lols just kidding, anyways.. Yea that's it! Smell ya' later! ... Nah I won't smell you.. Ew. xD
Byebye!
Pros and Cons of Eyelash Enhancers
Overview on eyelash enhancers:
Most of you might have heard about the eyelash enhancers. These are the newest range of products which helps to enhance the length and thickness of your lashes without affecting their health. It helps to enrich the look of your eyes and enhance the overall appearance of your face.
The eyes are mirror to your soul; it conveys the feelings of your heart. People look into your eyes and get an in depth idea about what you thick and how you feel about the person in front of you. Although people might have good looking lashes at birth; as we age the health of lashes are affected. This degrades the look of your eyes.
Women want to maintain darker and longer eyelashes so that they could enrich the beauty of their face. They tend to apply mascara which helps their lashes to appear darker. However applying and removing this product can affect the health of your lashes. Some of these products contains chemical which causes irritation to your eyes.
The eyelash enhancers are products consisting of natural ingredients which help to enrich the look of your eyes. Here we'll evaluate certain pros and cons of eyelash enhancers that help to beautify your eyelashes.
Type of eyelash enhancers:
Longer and darker eyelashes have been thought of as mask to enrich the beauty and femininity. People search for different ways to enrich the look of their facial features this also includes encouraging the growth of eyelashes. There are two types of eyelash enhancers: non-prescription products and prescription products. Let us check out these two types in detail and find out the pros and cons of these products.
Non Prescription Products:
These products are easily available and require no prescription. You can find them online or in retail stores. These eyelash enhancing products are easier to use. You can apply them on the base of your upper eyelids. This helps to stimulate the growth of the hair follicles. It also provides natural condition to the fine hairs strands of the lids.
PROS:
The applicator is present in the product which can be used to apply the powerful liquid of the enhancer. You can use this product with or without mascara. If you are not comfortable using this product with the applicator you can also use the wand of the mascara. This holds the lashes together so that they appear thicker and darker.
These products are available at reasonable prices. You can use them even you are a contact lens wearer. The best eyelash enhancer products are easy to apply and do not lead you to tedious method of application for the contact lens wearers.
CONS:
However, there are certain people who are sensitive to these products. The extended use of these products can sometimes cause irritation to the people wearing contact lens. They can get infection on their eyes due to blinking. There is a risk to smear the lenses and scratch it with the people wearing contact lens.
Prescription Products:
The prescription products for enriching the look of your lashes include Latisse. This product has been approved by FDA. It contains all natural ingredients which have been approved as safe to use by the FDA. This enhancer is effective to enrich the lashes and make them look gorgeous. You can apply this eyeliner at night using the sterile applicators.
PROS:
Simply dab the liquid on the lash line of the upper lid. This spread the throughout the lash line at night when sleeping. It also helps to encourage healthy growth of lashes with natural blinking and closing of eyes while sleeping.
CONS:
These products are semi-permanent prescription therefore it is quite expensive. Discontinuing its usage will lead your lashes to its regular length and thickness. Most people using this product have experienced serious side effects. Some people complain of darkening of their iris. There are some people who noticed extreme redness and dryness of eyes caused from the allergic reaction to this product. You should check the sensitivity before opting for any of these products to ensure safe and healthy lash growth.
Conclusion:
After going through the types of eyelash enhancers we get convinced that both these products work to encourage the growth of lashes. However, with prescription eyelash enhancers you should be aware of the ingredients used in them. Some of them contain glaucoma which is harmful to sensitive skin around the eyes. Some people have noticed itchiness after regular application. The non-prescription products like maxolash, revitalash on other hand are safe to use and do not cause any serious side effects. You can read the Eyelash enhancer reviews to check the ingredients present in them. This will ensure you are opting for safe products that work to enhance the length and density of the lash follicles.

Hey everyone I am going to share a great story with you
Hey everyone I am going to share a great story with you.This will be an Indian Love story..lets see how many is excited for this .
Why I love The Sims
Many people love The Sims and so do I.
I've played The Sims since the first game came out and I can't stop playing. As the game as improved over the years with number 2 and now number 3, the possibilities and options have increased significaly and the fun just keeps growing.
The game to me is a way of dreaming a bit and also a way to but my mind to action. Who haven't created a Sim that they dream about being? The game is all about dreams and putting them out there. That's why you can play for ours and become addicted. It makes you happy and relaxed.
I love The Sims because it never gets boring!
*YAWNS*

My Favorite Mods
QUICK LINKS TO GAME MODS THAT I ACTUALLY USE (AND A FEW THAT I DON'T)
Mods make Sims 3 gaming easier. At least, I think they do. Want to find out for yourself? Here are my recommendations for mods, and a brief summary of what they do. A * means I've actually used this mod or an earlier version of this mod from the link posted for it.
Disclaimer First!
Please read the notes for the mod on the link posted to it. Since neither I, nor anyone else at TSR, created any of these mods, you will be installing these at your own risk. So: Read ALL Mod Documentation Before Installing! You have been warned.
Mod Categories I Use
Here's how I group the different types of mods that can be used in the Sims 3. These mod categories are not defined anywhere according to my knowledge. I made them up.
Game Be Good
These customize the global game play in any world or saved game I choose. I want my game to act the same every time I load it, and I don't want to have to spend time entering cheats or parameters every time I play.
Sims Be Good
These customize the way the sims act in the game. Whether the mod is used or not during gameplay depends on the scenario it is designed to modify. If that scenario doesn't happen, you won't see the effects of installing the mod.
Objects Be Good
These modify the properties of in-game objects or the availability of in-game objects during game play. Whether or not the mod is used during gameplay depends on the object it modifies and possibly how the object will affect Sims in Live Mode.
My Mod Quick Link List
These mods all come from other sites. Some of them require a free membership before you can access the downloads.

Want to Design a Mansion?
LOT DESIGN TIP FOR BIG-HOME BUILDERS
If you want a beautiful but real-looking mansion, consider using a house plan of an actual luxury home. You can get several for free right off this site (see link). It's one of my regular go-to sites when I need big house help.
What You Need
- A house plan (on screen is best)
- Graph paper (also called quadrille paper)
- A few sharp pencils
- A plastic ruler (see-through is best)
- A pencil sharpener
- A good-old-fashioned eraser
- Clear tape (optional)
What To Do
- Choose a home from the site.
- Click on the home and scroll down to the house plans.
Note:
- There will be one house plan for each floor of the home.
- There may be other house plans there if the home has any outbuildings such as a stable or unattached garage.
- Some homes also have the elevation drawing (front of house) so you can see what kind of exterior items to use. - Using pencil and ruler, copy each house plan to the graph paper.
Note:
- Here is the scale, which seems to be standard with house plans:
2 x 2 foot square = 1 square on the paper
- Which for building in the game, won't mean anything. So look at the house plan and find a toilet, a sink, a washer or dryer. The space that each of these occupy in-game is 1 tile. Copy your house plans using the same scale.
1 square on the paper = 1 tile in the game
- You may have to measure to find out how many squares each room is. Just remember that house plans are to scale which means that every bit of space is in correct proportion to real-life measurements.
How This Helps You
If you can successfully copy the house plan to scale onto graph paper:
- You can build a home in the game square by square.
- You can use FullScreen mode in the game since your layout is on paper in front of you.
- This will really cut down on your building time and make you a more confident lot planner.
- You will minimize building mistakes.
- Your home will be symmetrical (balance is required for beauty).
- All the rooms will fit (no having to stick parts on afterward).
- Best of All: You'll know the exact tiles where any stairs or elevators will be on your lot, before you even start building! Very handy for multiple-story homes or stairs to a basement underneath a foundation.
Some Tips
- Get the House Plan Right on Paper
Huge houses weren't built in a day. Take the time to get the house plan right and make sure you understand it. It's easier to erase than to rebuild. Believe me. Don't be afraid to erase! If you are not confident about copying a house plan, use lighter pencil strokes that are easy to erase, then darken them when you are sure of the layout.
Number off your graph paper across the very top and down the left side. I usually number every other line. Start with 0 as the first number. Do one page for each floor of your layout. You'll see that:
One piece of 8.5x11 graph paper = about a 30x40 size lot with some spare room
For larger homes you will have to run one house plan onto more than one piece of graph paper. Because I number off my graph paper, I do not need to tape papers together, but you can if you need to.
- Pay Special Attention to Staircases in Multiple-story Homes
The Most Important Thing: Get the spiral stairs (or elevator) in the same place on every floor. The exception is straight (6-tile) staircases. In the Sims 3 they cannot be stacked. So for straight staircases, plan for one more row of tiles than what the home plan shows. The staircases will have to go side-by-side instead of one-atop-another. Or modify your floor plan to use spiral staircases if you want stacked stairs.
- Start Small
Practise on smaller homes first. That's what I did. Since I learned about house plans, I don't build anything without one - and now I can create my own house plans, straight from imagination to graph paper!
- Save Your Graphed Home Plans
If a downloader has a question about the size of items on one of your published lots, it's much easier to whip out a binder and locate the house plan, than it is to start up the whole game, make sure that version of your lot is still installed... well, you know.
Or (knock on wood) you can easily rebuild a complicated house if you (ulp!) lose your work in the game. This has saved me a few times!

LATE LATE LATE! D:
Hi guys, I'm sooooo sorry because I'm late for my next chapter of the story and I'm so mad at myself.
It's just that I've been busy all this time, and couldn't find the free time for me to shot some pictures. And the text isn't ready so, I'll try my best to post it this weekend.
Also, I haven't read the new chapters that were submitted, so that's my new task for now. :D
That's it. I don't know if anyone reads this but I just felt like I needed to apologize. :)
XOXO, Maria ♥
You raaaisee mee uppp ~
That song has been stuck in my head for the past few days :c Anyways, Chapter 8 is done and The Finale of Sudden End is also right around the corner.
There's nothing more that I've to say... BYEEE :3
Story~ Story~ Story~
Woot, my brain's drain for now but it felt so good. ^^
I'm still brainstorming about my characters as well as make them. I feel so satisfied the way they looked like~ >u</
I'm thinking about sharing them here at TSR, but well... I need to finish their stories first.
By the way, can you tell me some of your own stories or favorites for me to read? :)
These past few days, I had a lot of things I needed to get done like cleaning the house and such because I'm living alone O___O
It's been raining for days and it was the perfect time to write a book right? :)
Oh, with music to play along with the rain. I often listens to sweet melodies such as piano pieces when writing. Plus, a hot chocolate would add some spice. yeah!
I'm doing screenshot for my next chapter, but I need to clean some unnecessary files for the sake of my PC's memory, but I dunno what to delete O____O
Oh, well... I need to work hard to upgrade my PC xD
Happy Simming!

Hello folks!
I stopped making Custom Content because i had many problems and my meshing and texturing skills were..limited, like my freetime. School, Removals and many little things were ABSORDING my time, so there wasn't time to expand my meshing skills. And I'm a lazy Person. And now that Sims 4 is comming out soon, i will concentrate on learning how to create CC for TS4 (when it's time) .But I discovered a new funny activity! Taking and editing Screenshots for Sims 3.
In the Moment i have problems with uploading anything.
So i will upload some Screenshots as soon as possible. I think i was very successful and the photos came out great.
See you soon. In love, your Sheila!
Here's a sample. :)
Mushy Stuff..about retiring and having fun.
Hi!
After a long time of only thinking about it, I decided to actually retire.
It's been so much fun and a big part of my life for a surprisingly long
time. Thank you all for the support and the enormous number of comments
I received since I started.
It's funny, I can't even remember when I started creating here!
I think I was like 16 or 17 years old at the time.
But now I have two jobs in RL and I'm a university student.
I don't have the time anymore, and quite honestly, when I do,
I don't want to spend it in front of my computer.
Plus my creating skills aren't getting any better (maybe even the opposite).
So, you know, that's it. Creating imagenery castles (in my case
mostly pretty clothes for "dolls") just doesn't add anything to my life
anymore.
Thank you again for all the love and support. It really has been FUN.
And that's what creating is supposed to be about right?
Cause when it's not, it is high time to stop.
Ok and now I stop writing cause nobody will read it anyway :D :D
Have a good life and stay awesome..!

Now, I can rest easy and help Maggie create some beautiful homes for your beloved Simmies!
