Something Wicked This Way Comes--cuz I got the SN EP!!!!

Okay, so here's the plan...

First off, let me say thank you all SO much for reading and commenting (and liking :) ) my A Familiar Face story! I didn't know you all would like it so much!

Now on to this idea I had...

So I'm in the middle of writing two stories, both of them I really like, but I'm not sure which one I want to put out first once I'm finished with the writing.

So what I think I'm going to do is just shoot chapter one for each story, upload them at the same time, and have you guys comment on my blogs or in my guestbook for which story you want to see me keep going with for now. Then, once I finish one story, I'll just upload the next one.


I really like these stories, (one more than the other but hey, what can you do? lol) and I'm having fun writing them. My new rule is finishing the story before I shoot, as I've said before, so depending on which story we go with, one might take longer to show up on the Stories Exchange than than the other. But that's only because I was writing the first one (I think I'm gonna go with Starlight, Starbright as the title) way longer, and I only start writing the second one (I'm leaning towards The Academy) because I got Supernatural lol

So I'll be shooting and uploading today since I have the next two days off and I'm really anxious to make these characters lol so be ready to vote!

The Daily Featured Creations Lottery on Facebook FAQ

Many of you play the lottery every day but I bet you've always wondered how it works...

1. What is the lottery?

The Featured Creations lottery is a showcase for six of our subscriber items that have been published on that particular day. (If we didn't publish six subscriber items on that day, we will use popular items from the past so that we always have six.)

2. How do I enter?

Visit our Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/TheSimsResource ) and locate that day's lottery post. Look through the six images and click 'Like' on the items you would want to win.

3. What's the prize?

For non-subscribers, the prize is a free subscriber download of their choice.

4. Is the lottery only for non-subscribers?

No! Subscribers can play too, however, instead of winning the download of their choice, they can pick an item from the EA Store worth 25 Simpoints.

5. How do you pick the winners?

First, we look at how many people 'liked' the lottery post overall and that will determine how many winners we have for that day. (For example, 40 likes is 4 winners, 50 likes is 5 winners, 60 likes is 6 winners...)

Second, we make a list of the names of all the people who entered by copying the names of everyone who 'liked' the six images. (This usually means we have a list of 120 names, on average.)

Third, we use a random number generator from the people at MathGoodies ( http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html ). We enter 0 and the number of names on the list and get a random number. Then we scroll down the list and match that random number to a name. (If we need to choose five winners, we do it five times.)

6. Can you win more than once?

Yes! It is entirely random.

7. Why aren't there any Sims 2 items in the lottery?

 The lottery is for promoting our new subscriber downloads, and none of our Sims 2 downloads are subscriber - they are all free.

8. Where do you get the screenshots you use to announce the winners?

The screenshots we use are from the Featured Screenshots, in the Studio section of the website ( http://www.thesimsresource.com/screenshots/browse/featured/1 ).

Anything else you'd like to know?  Feel free to ask in the comments!

Half way done

Yep, My story (So it was you) will soob be finished, I'm still not sure if I'll make it 20 chapters or less, but I'm super sure it will finish soon. :(

I'm done uploading Chapter 10 (finally) didnt have much time lately because I'm busy with school. I am finding time to finish the captions. Do tune in coz' thing will get more exciting! 

I hope you dont mind my blabber! Toodles! xoxo

Measure Size Of Foot

Stores are filled with variety of women basketball shoes that vary in size, quality and design. In order to get the shoes you must know about the right size of your foot. In case you don’t know you can go to the shoes store where you can measure your foot easily in order to make sure that you get the right size. The more comfortable they are, the more you will find it better to perform in the court. If you are getting a little bit large you will find that while playing your foot will be getting out of the shoes which feel very awkward.

UPDATED "ABOUT ME" INFO... object creators may want to look...

Hi there!

If you're looking for new lots to put in your game, then go ahead and take a look through my lots! I have been building lots since Sims 2, and I am happy to say that I have gradually improved, especially now in The Sims 3. In case you are wondering, here are a few of my policies:

1. REGARDING CUSTOM CONTENT (CC): I rarely use custom content in my lots. In fact, I've only used CC once (I think) in one of my lots from The Sims 2. Unless otherwise stated, my lots have no CC in them.

2. Please do not re-upload my lots anywhere and/or claim as your own. I would appreciate if you just link back to the original download page here in The Sims Resource instead of uploading it anywhere else.

3. REGARDING REQUESTS: I take requests as long as it falls within the building style I specialize in. If you have a request, send me a Private Message with ALL THE DETAILS you need me to know for your request, like which Expansion/Stuff packs you have, number of bedrooms/bathrooms and any other rooms, color schemes you prefer in general or for specific rooms... EVERYTHING you want me to know so that I can make the lot perfectly suited to you.

4. TRIBUTE LOTS: If you are an object creator and want me to create a lot to showcase your object creations, make sure you have enough of them to fill up every needed room (like a bedroom set, kitchen set, living room set, etc). OR if you want a specific room in one of my lots dedicated to your content, then give me a link to the set/objects so I can figure out when and where to use them in my construction projects (example, you want your bedroom set featured in a future lot I will release, then send me a link to the set).

5. Of course, Have fun and Happy Simming! God Bless! :)

Coming Soon My First Dining Set

My very  first university dining set,

This is the first set I have made with the help and guidance of the University in TSR, which I am truly grateful for, and  all of  their teaching, time and most of all  their understanding,

I Know if I had never had this opportunity to be part of the university in TSR I would have gone on wishing I could be like all the other great and wonderful artists in TSR

and always thinking I would never be good enough to achieve anything like I have, it has gives me great sense pride to be apart of this wonderful learning group.

So please your feedback would be most grateful, and thank you all but most of all enjoy this download.

My Macbook's Fan DIED... so...

My next lot would be a little bit delayed. I can't even play the game without it lagging like mad, and I also risk killing my laptop with it since the fan is not working and my laptop get's really hot without the fan. Until I get my laptop's fan replaced, I would not be able to resume building. Hopefully I get it replaced soon! Until then, please enjoy my current lots for now! It won't be long, I promise!

Retirement

After a long time being inactive and not really playing the game for ages now, I've came to terms with the fact that I will not be doing anything else for the sims.

It was great to be a part of this community, though, which made the decision to leave for good really hard.

Thank you to everyone who has left wonderful comments and support in the past, it has meant a great deal to me :)

Can you pick what it is?

Hello.

I'm currently working on my largest, most involved, most exciting lot yet.

It's taking its fair amount of time but construction is nonetheless very much underway and I thought I'd take the opportunity to share a few sneaky li'l peeks with you! It will become more obvious just what you're in for the more you scroll down, but a few surprises will be left until when the lot finally makes its way onto TSR for free (not to mention CC/EP-free) download.

Meanwhile, enjoy this preview and see if you can figure out exactly what it's all about.

Till more is revealed, stay tuned...

and More Ramblings...

I just realized.. I celebrated my 1 year anniversary for Featured Artist this past June!  LOL  WOW.. a year and they still haven't figured out that they might have  made a mistake?? (rofl)  I am still feeling honored at being asked to be an FA here at TSR.. THE BEST site on the web for custom content for the Sims 3.  

I'm still finding all kinds of things to create.. (fortunately)... and I still absolutely LOVE meshing/creating.. that is  a plus I guess! :D  .. and I still enjoy reading all the comments left on my objects.. good, bad, or indifferent.. (tho mostly they are good!) And, it still amazes me that my creations are downloaded and used in other players games!  I've made a lot of very good "friends" on this journey and I thank God daily for them.. and for my ability to make these creations.  

I'm blessed in more ways than one.. and huge hugs to all of you!!

ONLY Base Game Installed!

Hey everyone.

So there seems to be some confusion when I upload my sims. For some reason they all have World Adventures listed as a requirement. Just to clarify, I do not have any expansion packs installed at all when i create my sims so they are base game compatible. Hope this post helps. I put *only Base Game installed* in the note section as well as description of all my sims as well so just look out for those though i think it's safe to say that all my sims will be base game compatible since i have no intention of getting expansion packs anytime soon. My poor wallet can't take anymore. Haha. 

Cheers,

Sherri

Still alive!

Yes, I am still around! 

Thank you, everyone, for the messages.  I'm so sorry for being missing for so long.  I've had to take over someone else's job at work (while still doing my own), so I've been way too consumed with boring real-life stuff.  Yuck!   I don't anticipate things changing at work any time soon, so I'm going to say right here that the S2HBAA Monthly Contest is going to be on indefinite hiatus.  If any of you would like to continue the contest in my absence, please definitely do!  I will try to be back in action as soon as I can. 

I've missed you all so much!

*hugs*

The JALA: Coming this SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

The only thing left to do is finalize the landscaping and the basement floor. But here it is right now...

I Got Supernatural!

I got the new expansion yesterday. I was more excited about it before I started playing, now for some reason I feel like I can't play without having a story to make lol so I'm whipping up a story. A Familiar Face Finale is coming. I just wanna play around with this for a little, see what's in it.

Like my last blog post says, I am making a new story. I'm not done writing it though. I really like writing stories! This little Supernatural will be more than one part, but not many. It's nothing special, just a family of supes moving from Bridgeport to Midnight Falls. I don't know where I'm going with it, but I'm just goofing around.


AFF WILL BE DONE SOON. I won't give a date, because I'm not reliable like that lol but it will be soon, I promise. I have a Yankees vs O's game tonight (my first baseball game! :D) but I'm off all day Friday, and I work late Saturday, and I'm off Sunday, so if I'm not too lazy, I can knock it out and try and upload no later than Monday. Stick with me guys!


I'm so excited about this new story coming up though! It's called Starlight, Starbright. It's about singing, and since I write stories, not songs, the songs my characters will be singing are all by The Beatles. :D I hope everyone likes it! Like I said, not done writing, but soon!!


Okay guys, gotta go. I think my werewolf just bit somebody. 

Love SIMS!!

being thrifty nowadays! :))

to buy expansion packs of SIMS!!

being addictive to it totally!! :))

The Guardian(s)!

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to post a small update about something I just finished and am quite proud of.

Right now, I'm calling it "The Guardian."  It's a little statue that, originally, I was making for no reason. Then I decided that, since he looks kind of angry, it would be cool if he was actually protecting something - so I turned him into a burglar alarm!

I also adjusted the alarm effect so that it looks more like he is "screaming" when a burgalar comes near.

I'm not sure what else I am going to do with him. I've thought about making a couple of different versions and releasing of set of special alarms like this, or I may throw him in with a set of other spooky Halloween/supernatural themed things - only time will tell!

A more real blog!

Hi you all! 

I'll upload some TSR-related things on this blog, but I've started a Wordpress blog. What will you find there? Exclusive, yay, *exclusive* downloads, and some spoilers of my very next creations.

You don't wanna wait until TSR has published some of my "upcomming" items? Then, I'm sure you'll find it on JoskaSims blog!

Don't accept false Joska's, just accept the JoskaSims one! :P

Hugs and kisses for you all!

More creations on the way!

Check back soon for some historical undies, coats, and of course, dresses. I've also finally started to address my severe lack of vintage male clothes.

Ikea Sets

Hello All!

  Well now...a lot of requests for more Ikea!

As a creator I want to give you the best that I can. When I get bored with a style I set it aside and do something else. Keeps me a better creator.

As for the Ikea, yes I will make more, yes I am planning many more rooms.....but I am on a slight break from Ikea for just a few weeks. I am going to finish one more Asian room and then I will do probably a couple of shabby chic rooms, and then back to Ikea.

I need to mix up the styles to make sure I don't get to a point that it becomes not fun. So bear with me and Ikea will be back. Promise :o)

Symmetric Poly-Molecular Matrix Windows... New Project

A long time ago I received a request if I could convert the Sims 2 Symmetric Poly-Molecular Matrix window into Sims 3. I just started this project and I allready have a lot of ideas. Some of the windows will have slots too, even the diagonal versions. Hope you like it.

Back to my buildings ;)

Well .. it was over my stress, my mother was operated on and is running fine ... now I can get back to my buildings ;)

New Story In The Works!!

Unfortunately, A Familiar Face is coming to an end. I loved that you all loved it, it was my first completed story on TSR and although the content was a little heavy, you all kept coming back for more. I uploaded chapter 9 last night and will begin taking pictures for 10 today. But every good story must end eventually, right?! But for those who really like my story, never fear!!

Since I can never have my mind on one thing at a time, EVER, around the time I started A Familiar Face, I began to write chapters for other story ideas I had come up with.

I deleted 2, but the one I think I'm going to continue with is called Starlight, Starbright (unless I can think of something better lol) I only have 3 or so chapters, but I'm re-reading it now, and it's pretty okay. I won't tell you all what it's about, but it is definitely different than my last one. It's still a love story, but nothing like the story of Isabella and Elliot.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as you did A Familiar Face. I'm taking my own advice and finishing the whole story before I upload anything (I really don't want to, I wanna start now! lol) to avoid the same problem I had with Once Upon A Summer, which was basically typing a chapter, uploading it, and then getting writers block and having an unfinished story :(.

Not sure how many chapters this one will be. Like I said, I only have 3, so who knows. But again, I hope you like it.

Anyways, Chapter 8 just got uploaded, go go go...expect Chapter 9 soon! :)

College Life Spin-off Update.

Hi, everyone! I'm writing this blog to give you an update on the College Life Spin-off I've been talking about. If you don't want to read this entire blog, just know that it won't be happening... Not exactly how I planned it, anyway. If you do want to read the rest of this blog, then I should probably thank you, since I would hate if I was writing this and no one read it. Read on for details.. 

Okay, so a few days ago, I downloaded the Compressorizer to compressorize my downloads. It was about 2 in the morning, so I was obviously super sleepy, so I forgot to back up my files. I was so excited that everything was compressorized, and I couldn't wait to get in the game. When I did get into the game, it was loading slower than usual. It took almost a half an hour just to load the game.. I don't know if I compressorized a download that isn't compatible, or not, but I realized that my entire game was ruined. I don't blame the compressorizer, though, I blame myself for not backing every thing up. I do still download compressorized stuff, so I know that it must have been something I did. It could have just been my computer, since it's a pretty old computer. 

Anyway, long story short, I lost all of my lots in my neighborhood that took me hours (sometimes days) just to decorate. Now I don't have all of the items I once had, so I can't do the spin-off. I do, however, still have the sims. They look a bit different since I had to delete some of their stuff (like skins, eyes, etc) but they're still the same 'ole sims that they once were. Well, they got a makeover, actually, since they're adults now. Which means I can't do the graduation special, either. Sorry! 

So, since I can't do the spin-off, I've been thinking of something new to do. Something that would involve Mia and the College Clan.... I'm so excited to get it written up and uploaded.. It might take a while since I have to decorate the houses for the story, but it'll still be up, no matter what. It shouldn't take longer than a few weeks since I have all the time in the world to play sims. (If you're wondering, I don't go to school anymore, I graduated, and I don't have a job. So I'm literally home [almost] all the time. Even when I did go to school I was home [almost] all of the time since I was home schooled.)

Anyway, thank you for reading this, and I hope you'll like what's in store for the College Life characters. If you would like for me to post a new blog highlighting what was supposed to happen in the spinoff, I happily will. Since there will be a bit in the new story that you won't understand without knowing what happened. I don't even know what all is going to happen, I just have an outline, so I know I'm definitely on the edge of my seat. It's going to be crazy, I can promise you that... ;)
