Fall Colours
Oh to be in the Maritimes now that fall is here.
Some day I'm going to take a trip to the East Coast of Canada in the autumn. Being a teacher and being married to a professor means that September brings back to school not time for vacation. So I will continue my armchair travels for now, and let my imagination take me to Prince Edward Island.
My current project is Beaconsfield Historic House in Charlottetown. When I saw pictures of this Victorian "Second Empire" style house I knew I had to try building it, even though Sims 3 does not give us a proper mansard roof and dormers as was available in Sims 2 Apartment Life. However, I am giving it my best shot. And this house is HUGE! According to the Beaconsfield website the house was "Built in 1877 for James and Edith Peake... one of Charlottetown’s most elegant homes. Featuring the finest in materials and craftsmanship, it was also equipped with all the latest conveniences of the day." Of course, I am building it based on photos posted online by the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation and by tourists who have enjoyed a visit there and uploaded their pics to Flickr. So as usual the floor plan may not be 100% accurate but I am trying to capture the essence of this beautiful historic home. My biggest challenge will be not exceeding the custom content limits for TSR uploads!
Check out the original Beaconsfield house here: http://www.peimuseum.com/index.php3?number=1043026&lang=E
Sudden End.
Im so thrilled about my next story.. I already made a quick introduction.. LOL. Anyways. I will be finishing Sudden End in two more chapters, but maybe there will come an epilogue.. but who knows :)
I hope you're having an awesome day. Keep smiling! Loveu♡Nisuki
BTW I'm planning on making a new house. Though I don't know what kind of.. Maybe just a simple one again ^o^
OH AND SOMETHING MORE. I FREAKIN WANT MIDNIGHT HOLLOW. But I bought EP showtime not too long ago.. ARGH.. XD Oh wells, doesn't matter! :D
Revised resort lots, finally!
I'll start by saying, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to submitting my lots here at TSR. I've been so happy to finally be able to share my creations with you all.
Unfortuantely, the CC used in my resorts (and my residential lot) did not export into my pacakge files like they should have. This causing an enormous amount of items being replaced in my lots! I was horrified to find this out and immediately got to work on how I can fix this for you guys. I found out that this had happened due to deleteing my DCBackup files. So, uninstalling/resintalling all of my CC it is!
I apologies for the mishap, I'm starting to learn more and more about how this stuff works! Please take a minute to check out my new revised resorts!
I am in the process of trying to fix Meadowland Court as well, due to the same issue. Right now, it's too big to upload here. I guess I need to tone it down on the CC a bit, haha. A tricky task for me!
Thanks for reading!

Made a new family~
I made a new sims home that has a vampire and a werewolf and I plan for them to have all the babies~ uwu
SCHOOL ALERT. SCHOOL ALERT.
School shot me with a massive amount of work and test. but I've already received some marks and I'm happy with the outcome!! My work was not for nothing :D! I had been working on Chapter 7 of Sudden End, day by day a little bit and just now I saw that it got approved already. Huray!
I'm currently writing Chapter 1. of my new story, but I won't be publishing it, untill the last chapter of Sudden End will end the story. Chapter 9 to be exact :)
Now I'm patiently waiting for more marks, and writing a German letter. My teacher laughs his ass off when he's reading our letters.. Yea, we make silly mistakes I guess LOL. Let's not talk about what kind of mistakes :D
Anyways, I still got a lot of crap to do for school, but!. YES there's a BUT! I will have a one-week vacation in two weeks! Happy me. We call it; Autumn-Holiday / Fall-break.
I love it ^_^
Well, that's enough typing for today! I hope you're having an awesome day!

So Much to Learn!!
I have (finally) submitted my second lot, Red Maples. What a challenge! I included custom content in this lot and found there is a lot more involved in using CC than I imagined.
In my first attempt at this lot nearly all of my furnishings were CC. I ended up with a file much larger than the 50MB upload limit. Ok, back to the drawing board. More in-game furnishings, less CC.
Next, I discovered I had used some EA Exchange patterns, which I downloaded before I discovered TSR. I wasn't sure if that was acceptable so I asked the question and was told that, yes, I could use them but that patterns created with the EA Create a Pattern tool do not always upload properly. So I replaced all of the EA Exchange patterns with in-game patterns and TSR custom patterns. As suggested, I tested my exported lot in a "vanilla" version of the game, and that's when I learned that some of the TSR custom patterns I used were also made with the EA Create a Pattern tool and wouldn't export properly. (Too bad because these were really beautiful.) So, I had to replace them with patterns created using TSR Workshop. They worked fine and looked great, too! At last, I thought I was home free.
Wrong! When I tried to upload my lot, I received the dreaded "RigFix" error so I had to run TSR's RigFix program on my CC. Actually, that turned out to be much easier than I expected from reading all of the posts on the subject. I just followed the instructions and it must have worked because my lot uploaded fine this time. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for approval--I hope.
I know this is a long post but I thought maybe some of you might benefit from my experience, so here it is. I hope you all enjoy this new lot as much as I enjoyed creating it--over and over, LOL.
Delayed Chapters...
Hey, Sorry if Message in a Bottle: Chapter 5 isn't published yet. Well, I revised my supposedly chapter because it was kind of not 'exciting'.
I finished the manuscirpt and what I'm doing this past days is creating additional Sims for casts.
I hate downloading pre-made sims and I prefer to do my own unique sims so, it was taking a lot of time. Plus, I want my casts to be unique form each other as much as possible. ^u^/
I'm also brainstorming because I'm planning for future stories. I made a lot of characters this week with their own personal stories. Though, I need to finish up my first story first. Haha!
And yeah, I'm also busy writing a book about my game guild's own story based from our online game, Dragon nest.
If only there's a machine that would let you do the things swirling inside your head right away. The one with a helmet-like equips, would put it at the top of your head and just a few buttons.. tada~ finished stories and such. (Sorry, I'm talking nonesense) ^^;
Oh well, I think that's it for now. :)
Hi there !

First blog post. :3
Hi everyone. :D
I just made a house that I think I'll maybe upload, but I don't know how's the procedure so I'll probably consult with Nisuki. :) The newest screenshot "Meg" is captured there. ♥ I just want to ask you guys, what do you think about it, do you want me to upload it? :D It's just some family house, not too big, but it looks really cozy and all. ^^
Please, answer me in comments. :3
XOXO, Maria
Errors, errors, everywhere.
Jalee's been having a difficult time uploading a lot that is near and dear to her heart because of how much time and energy she has spent on it. (Yes, this is the one I referenced in an earlier post that is almost an exact replica of her own home.) She has encountered SO many errors and gotten so discouraged that we're doing kind of a daily pep talk where I reassure her that YES, people do want to see this lot, and it is totally worth figuring out the bugs, and I know she agrees with me but just needs to hear it.
This morning I woke up and came to check the site and her lot had mysteriously vanished from the "Approved" list, so I texted her in a panic and asked her to call me when she woke up. I was able to find it and download it myself to test it for her, and to her horror, an enormous amount of the custom items she had searched so hard for had disappeared, leaving blank walls and oddly out-of-place clutter. (Can't tell you how surprised we were by the 9 random containers of wooden kitchen utensils throughout the house in odd places.)
Now quite suspicious about what errors the rest of our lots might have, she downloaded a few of my lots and founds things like shutters not ON the windows but instead out in the air in front of them, or behind them. So, panic mode on my end, too. If I downloaded a house that had all sorts of errors in it, I'd be really annoyed, and I wouldn't blame you if you were too.
We're going through our uploaded and approved lots trying to find and fix any errors we discover. We are very new to this process and are still learning and welcome any tips from people with more experience on this. What's the best way you've found to test your lots?
Also, if you have encountered an error in one of our lots, please do let us know in a private message. We welcome the opportunity to fix it.
I can't say enough, though, how kind and patient the TSR staff has been with us. We appreciate the effort they've made to help us rectify the situations with our current lots, and I would not want anyone reading this to think that we don't recognize that! This is a complicated process and we are just in the beginning stages of understanding how it works and look forward to gaining a better knowledge of that process.
All our best,
Maggie (and Jalee)

How Helpful are Nail Product Suppliers?
It is urgent need for the parlor owners to have all the beauty tools and equipments. Parlor professionals will have to be ready for cutting hair or treating nails. If you do not use appropriate products for nails the clients might grow irritated. The best is to have arrangements with nail products suppliers. It will help you grow your business in no time. But you will need all the tools and products of your business to concentrate on your salon work.
Starting a salon is the best business endeavor as a person can rake in enormous
profits. However without the right beauty supply distributors you will not be
able to perform. This is because you will regularly need salon supplies and
they are the foundation of your business. Without the right supplies you cannot
treat your customers well and help them enjoy your salon treatments.
Clients come with varying needs of beauty treatments. Some might want a hair
cut while some will want a pedicure. This makes it absolutely necessary for
your parlor to have all the necessary products. You will be able to serve with
different nail related treatments only when nail products suppliers will
deliver you with the right products. You may brilliantly advertise your parlor
but the customer can decide whether your parlor is good or not upon entering
it. A parlor that is well stocked can help you operate your parlor more
confidently.
For instance when a person approaches you for pedicure she will definitely look
for all the items that are being prepared for the treatment. Absence of nail
files, chemical solutions to clean the nails can make the person cringe and
reject your salon that instant. Hence every parlor owner should have contacts
with Nail Products Suppliers so that the parlor is not short of any tool or
product.
While looking out for several nail products suppliers you will come across
ample distributors. There will be beauty products or hair accessories
distributor etc. But make sure you that you look out for the right Beauty supply
Distributors. Understand your requirement and then contact the distributor.
When you have different distributors segregated as per the products you will be
able contact them immediately as per your need. While selecting a distributor
always keep your comfort and style in mind. A distributor should be able to
help you with any brand or product that you need.
When you are in touch with all the beauty supply distributors you will be
supplied with products on time. In case you run out of a particular product you
will not have to go to the market. Simply contact your supplier and he will
forward you all the necessary products that you need at your salon.
Once you have found all the right suppliers you will benefit from them for
long-time. Every time you come across a requirement in the salon the product
will be just a phone call away. From the moment you place your order you can be
peaceful because the supplier will send you the products on time.

My first year at TSR - thanks everyone!
Hello everyone! I just noticed that I was a member for more than one year here, at TSR! I wanted to say thank you to all who downloaded and commented my creations, it means a lot to me. I have met so amazing creators who are now my friends, thanks to them for everything they did for me! TSR has been the best place in the sims world for me.
I wanted to say to everyone one word: BELIEVE. Believe in your dreams, be yourself and share your creativity and your talent with the world!
Hello beautiful !
Currently I'm so impatient to start writing my next story. I'm SURE that it's going to be a fantasy one and yea, I'm thinking of putting a little spice of horror to it ^-^ I still need to continue with my story Sudden End though, but I think that one will end soon.. Very soon OwO.. WHAT KIND OF TITLE MUST I GIVE IT... Something simple.. Currently I've the title. Broken or Hurt in my head. Well yea it has to be something negative... I DON'T KNOW. LALALA XD
Ok idek what I'm typing. BYE!

Hi premiere this blog to announce that I'll be a while without climbing new things, my laptop is broken and will take almost a month to return it, afortunadamenten even had two month warranty.
A little before that fails, I the set upload it was working with to a cloud, at least I'm not going to lose, I show you a little advance with my daughter's laptop, with which I enter from time to time, but not do anything new since this I have no programs or the game on this laptop.
I apologize for my English is google translator thing
It's been so LONG~~ O_O
Aww, I just checked my profile and saw that Message in a Bottle: Chapter 4 hasn't still approved. O_O
It's been 6 days since I posted it, I hope it will release soon. Maybe because It has a lot of screenshots and pages? I dunno. but I really hope TSR staffs could approve it soon. :)
I will be making the Chapter 5 after it has been published, though I finished the manuscript and just taking some screenshots. My Sims 3 is taking longer time to load and occasionally freezes. omg.
Ahhh, I was making a house for the story when my game crashed as well as my heart. ohhhh~ T____T
Remeber to save, even though it will take you long time to save your game. Gosh, I almost cried for the hours I spent for that house. >_<
If Chapter 4 has been released, it would make me feel better. hahaha! :D
Have a nice weekday everyone. :)
*YAWN*
Hello! Well first of all, I'm supermega sorry for my "slowness". This week I'm stuck in the cinema for a Movie Festival, It's fun! But kind of tiring, sitting there and watch movies.. Anyways, my story still hasn't been approved, maybe tomorrow and my newest sim, Serene Decosta, will be avaible tomorrow huray! I really can say, I'm kind of proud I've made her!
I've also made another Sim. She's named Lure Crescent. You can see her in my screenshot "Stalk! Stalk!" She's a detective xD . jkjk. But I'm super amazed by her beauty myself.. What am I talking about lols.
Anyways, I will be replying to the messages later.. I'm sorry for the wait, I'm just.. tired =.= zzz..
Heading to bed now! Ciao! Hugs&Likes, Nisuki
Been working on a little something!
The start of this month has been mad busy, lots going on at work and at home... shortly, I shall be decorating for real, rather than just virtually. My university course starts in October, so a busy busy year ahead for me.
I have been working on a new lot to share, though the process has been painfully slow. It's an inspired house that takes attributes from buddhist temples and Indonesian stilt houses to create a truly wonderful home.
My latest peice is called Chibalba. Okay! so I know this is the Mayan name for "the underworld" but please don't reflect too much on the meaning; I just think it's a lovely sounding word. Chibalba - pronounced She-bal-ba.
Anyway I hope that it gets accepted and uploaded to share with you guys here in the TSR Community, I like to give a little something back. However if it doesn't you can always find it here http://www.scoobysnax.co.uk/chibalba/ (my personal blog) if you're interested in downloading.
Thanks for reading

No, we're not crazy.
We've had a few of our creations released over the past week or so and have gotten some really lovely feedback from other people here on TSR. I do try (and I know Jalee does too) to thank people for the comments they leave, but sometimes time gets away from us.
Today is Monday--theoretically, it's a day off for me, but what does that really mean? It means my husband wakes me up at the crack of dawn to complain that there's no breakfast, and then leaves the house in a snit (I'm not complaining; he's truly adorable like that). It means I run to the grocery store, clean the house, do laundry, make dinner, and hardly have time to sit down at the computer until a few moments ago, and I decided to send a few thank you comments back to people who have commented on mine.
I click through to someone's page and am startled. Looks like I already thanked them! Hmm...
Next commenter: same story. And the next. And the next.
Am I losing my marbles? Am I so tired at this point that I've forgotten thanking these people for their lovely words?
Needless to say, I just spent a very confusing 10 minutes trying to remember what happened today. I'll spare you the details, but the conclusion is that: Jalee thanked these same people for earlier comments on her resorts.
So no, we're not crazy. If you get more than one "thank you" from us within a day's period, don't worry, it's only because there are two of us, and somehow in the 13 phone calls we average between us per day, we found other things to talk about.
Maggie
FYI.
Probably not going to upload anything more to TSR, seeing's how all the effort I put into finally figuring out TSR WORKSHOP, and making items and taking pictures, everything gets rejected. So whatever. I'm done.
Get ready for LONG chapters! >:)
Yay! I finally finished the "Message in a Bottle" Chapter 4!
This one was purely made from my sweat and blood and I'll be happy if this would get approved soon.
I'm still waitng for the Chapter 3's approval. I Hopefull it would come out soon.
Thank you for reading Message in a Bottle. ^^
Hey you!
!!! Sudden End - Chapter 6 is submitted! I'm terribly sorry that it actually took a long time. Chapter 7 will come right after 6, ok maybe 2-3 days, but not 1 week! xD Anyways that's it for now!
Now I'm going to read all the stories I still need to read =D! And replying to some messages ^__^
Burned Out Brains...
Oh my, I'm so tired after re-uploading my firsts' story: "Message in a Bottle" Chapter 4.
When I was about to finish re-touching it, it was suddenly... GONE! O_O
I almost cried but I didn't gave up! unfortunately, when I was done uploading the screenshots, I can't seem to save the texts and always got the error 500 >_<
I was working on in for about 12hours of uploading, checking the grammars and shooting new screenshots at the same time. I hope if I were about to put the script tommorow, I won't be able to experiece the 'sudden death upload' moment again. I'm going to cry and would probably make me lazy for being active here, even though I really love this site. I sacrificed my 3D model for the story, which is okay with me because I really love story telling... I just don't want re-uploading it again and again. you'll know why I'm frustrated after I finished it (with prayers and miracles). haha!
haaaa.... I hope tommorow--- I mean, later... the site will be in nice shape ^^
I think, I need to sleep now and dream of Jasper. xD
READ READ READ !
Are you reading? Good. Here's a cookie, don't get bored while reading.
Anyways, I've had a BUSY day. (friday the 13th, wait.. THE DAY OF DOOM!!!?) jkjk xD I had school and had to work untill 10:00 PM. Now I'm home and it's .. 11:00 PM. So I'm going to bed, after I finished this blogpost..
I will be finishing the next chapter of my story "Sudden End" tomorrow. I'm probably going to retry uploading a sim, WITHOUT a subscriber item, tomorrow too. And I still have to reply to MANY messages + thanking everyone who commented. Oh shet, I still have to read some stories too which got added today! Argh argh. I will have enough time tomorrow!
Did I bore you? Good.
Creations, furniture, decorations
I want to know if I can use furniture from artists who seem no longer to be doing anything here for sims1? I want to use some of their old stuff (sims2 stuff) for my houses to use on another sight. You won't let me put my walls/floors or houses on your sight, so I found some people who really care about their members.
Now can I use, shakeshaft, Reevena, Jope or Cashcraft. I will assume they are no longer doing anything for the sims2 game. I am going to use my walls/ floors and houses on the other sight, even the one I think I left for you, just the viewing.
If you have any politeness you will at least answer this post.
If they are no long creating sims2 for you, then I think we should be allowed to use them on other sights. I tried to get in touch with eveyone of these people, but you have it so they can get no email from me.
Have the decency to answer this post please
email me @ [email protected]
I'm hurt that you make it so impossible, awful, meanly, inconsiderate for some members to be able to get their creations on your sight.
We'll see how decent you are to your members, if you answer this letter, I have 7 days left to reup my membership, if you want me to reup, then answer this blog.

Problems since Island Paradise patch came out
Hello everyone! I want to tell you that during this time, after the game update 1.55, my game has gone very wrong, several problems that are caused by using custom content from this page. I want to clarify, I'm not saying that the content of TSR is corrupt, I think the CC from here are excellent!. Unfortunately I can not use them again, several users of The Sims 3, included me, that bought our copy of Island Paradise could not play anymore because this errors:
- When choosing a household, and click the checkmark icon, it turns gray and does not load the game, therefore, it is impossible to play.
- I can't share creations, OF ANY KIND, get a window saying "FAILED TO SHARE (name of the creation)"
Really damn tired of these two errors, I tried all kinds of solutions, (I will not list them all because it's toooo long, just know that I got terrible headaches), I looked for help on the official forums and I was relieved to know I was not the only one who had these problems, EA is aware of this and they said they are working on these bugs.
So it's not a problem caused by corrupt CC, since before the 1.55 update, my game and of many users ran well. I just hope a solution, as it is sad not to be able to use CC in the game or in building houses as I do.
Sometimes I think that EA creates many updates to make incompatible to all content that is not from their store, The official EA support clarifies that "the use of unofficial custom content can lead to problems". So in my case I can not do anything else, just to play with the basic content of The Sims 3 and its expansions, plus the contents of the store.
I do not know if anyone here has the same problem as me, I "envy" those who do not have problems playing with CC, since these problems do not affect everyone, so my next creation will have only store content and base game and expansion stuff, it is sad, very sad, I was so happy with my content and houses from the amazing artists from TSR and now I can not use anymore!
I hope all this is fixed with the next update, with nothing more to say, I say goodbye.
Alan.
After days of being a TSR active...
I was amazed how friendly people around here, it makes me happy and lessed stress! ^u^
I was busy writing the manuscript for my first Sims story: Message in a Bottle.
It was originally done but in a novel-liked style so I needed to convert it to Sim-stlye. :D
Oh, the screenshots are making it longer and I did a LOT of revisions, though the stories and characters are the same ^^
I wish I could extend the clock from 24 hours a day to 40 hours a day. I haven't finished texturing my 3D character for a short-film plus I got interested on making some CC but I'm having a problem with the preview images in TSR workshop o_O
I can't squeeze out my time, but making Sims story is so much fun!
Happy gaming! :D
