Tech Notes & Policy

Some technical notes here :)

*All my preview images are NON-Photoshopped - it's a simple screenshot from the game.

*I use HQ Mod by S-Club Privee to get the high quality of screenshots.

*My textures are hand-painted: using graphic tablet or/and mouse.

*I use bigger resolution (2048x2048 pixels) for DDS files (except clothing textures) so if you're using HQ Mod you should get better textures. If not they will be down-scaled.

ALL my textures ARE NOT ALLOWED to be modified, cloned, recoloured or mixed/blended and then uploaded to the Internet for sharing purposes. My creations MAY NOT be reproduced without permission. If you want to recommend my creations on your blog/website, give a link, not the file! If you are using my items in your creations (Sims, lots etc.) and share your creations outside TSR, please give a credit and link back to my TSR page (or specific item's page).

THANK YOU!!!

Story in the making......

Updated Blender Baking Tutorial

Hi everyone!

I have finally gotten around to updating my multiplier baking tutorial for the new Blender interface (versions 2.5 and newer). The updated tutorial can be downloaded here. As with the last version, this tutorial does not cover any aspect of mesh creation - only baking the shadows. If anything in the tutorial is unclear or you need further assistance, feel free to send me a PM and I will be happy to help!

Attention!!!

Hi everyone! Thank you SO SO SO much for all the downloads on my uploads :D and the nice comments! I just wanted to inform you that I have two houses pending to be uploaded! I'll let you know when they are going to be uploaded. 

Thanks a bunch!

The Halliwell Manor stuff

I'm almost done with all i made for your own Halliwell Manors i hope to get the pictures up soon too. They are the last thing and then i'm moving on with other things. Loads of walls floors rugs and paintings comming. For all the Charmed fans among you that are playing The Sims 3, for now i have no plans to do everything in Sims 3 format, no time for them in the near future neither but i will keep it in mind, so you'll never know ;) In the mean time i hope Sims 2 players have lots of fun with everything i upload. Thank you for downloading my stuff :D

Back from holiday!!!

Hi All 

I just got back home from a nice holiday to Norway and Sweden... I saw some really nice windows ;-).

I promissed you a second part of the Hampton, but I am really inspired of a window I saw in Norway. But the second part of the Hampton will follow later on... I hope I am not disappointing anyone for making an other window first.... But I am just in love with this window LOL...

Stairway to Heaven... or not?

So... Okay, now my brain just froze. Freeze reminds me of ice cream (Mmm, ice cream...) and ice cream reminds me of vacations... That's it! I remember now! (I mean, I remembered that the whole time, I was just finding a way to start this - how lame...)

Anyways (geez, I'm always saying that), I'm off to a - sorta - beachy paradise which means no updates for a while. But don't start panicking - I'll take advantage of that retreat to inspire myself and write on my Hurricane story -- I might even start a new one, who knows? My brain is just too flooded with ideas and it needs - urgently - to be emptied.

Oh well, I guess that's all, folks. I can only wish you some nice vacations as well - if that's the case - and we'll see each others around!

So long, mates!

hello and welcome

hello,

bye ws

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say thanks a ton for all the downloads on my first house! I hope you all liked it! And I hope you all like my pets that are coming out soon. I am uploading them because I noticed that there are no puppies or kittens in the pets area. I was able to upload these pets for you so you can create them in create a sim. 

Don't look for them in your CAS bin under dogs or cats because that goes automatically to adults and these are not adults. Just look for them under all and "custom" (the button in the top right corner) 

Thanks for the warm welcoming to TSR! :)

I'm not gone (not yet, anyway, lol)

Just dropping in to give everyone a little Heads Up. I've been bogged down with maybe 100 different projects at once for a while now, so if you're not hearing me it's cuz I'm trapped in Hidden Springs and the elves won't let me leave--b******s. I've got 2 sim-stories to write before August is over (sweating heavily!), a million lot ideas, dozens of sims to make, and not to mention, my daggone DCCache folder nearly exploded on me, so I had to uninstall practically EVERYTHING I have, and will have to reinstall over 10GB of CC all over again, bit by bit to track down the little bugger that effed up my game. I HATE the frakking Launcher--I wish some genius would create a different sims3pack program already so I can burn that daggone thing already. So, anyway, that's about it. I'll be lurking, and migt pop in every once in a wil to snag a few things, but other than that I'll be busy being elf-shot and pixie-led, so.... Yeah... T_T But TSR WILL be getting that new lot by me from the Sneak Peek I showed in my Summoning Rug previews (it's a really nice lot, too--if I do say so myself ^-^), but I don't know WHEN, though I want it up before September, if that's any indication. Keep a look out!

Part 3 of LIY coming soon..

so sorry it's taking a while, i've been sick and i can't write very well when i am ill. But i'm feeling better and writing has kicked up again along with screenshots. I am still working on the magical world, i have a problem with attention to detail n_n

SIMS2

I'm hoping that I can get some of my walls & floors here on the simsresource. You can visit my mini site and see 2 of the designs I have created, I want to put more on here soon.

Be patient and I will.

I guess I'm just to old to change to the sims3, I really love the sims2,

I went out the other day to get the sims2 mansion & garden and could not believe you cannot buy it any where anymore. How unreal is that. I need a second disc so I could play it on my table top or my lap top. And low and behold, no where could I get it.  I just hope I can make a back up copy to use on my table top. I will let you all know.

Thanks & Happy Simming

Hey

Hello

I am ms83 and I love the Sims 3! My first creation ever on The Sims Resource was my Sunnyside Strand Honeycomb Home. 

I love animals and photography. 

THANKS!

Returned

It's exciting! After a long while away, about 8 monthes, I'm back submitting my residential lots to share with all of you! Please keep checking back every week to see what new houses I have posted. Have a great day!

I would like it if more people add lots of new Free Hairs!

Most of the time I visit here not much Hairs were on here and mostly clothes it kinda makes me sad. Although I do appreciate what people has been doing!

My only question is how do you make Hairs, Clothes, Objects etc.  So that when I learn I could have some up!

In Loving Memory of the Collins Family

Just to warn you guys this might turn into a rant. But wait, let me start at the beginning. A few days ago I was having problems with opening my Launcher so I contacted EA and they told me that I had to uninstall and reinstall Origin. I did. The same message came up. I contacted them again and they said to just uninstall The Sims 3 base game (I put my saved games on the desktop) and reinstall it. I did. The same message came up. Then I got REVO and completely got rid of every trace of TS3 on my computer. I uninstalled my games and then reinstalled them. The same message came up. Then...I had to get rid of my CC which means...which means RIP Collins family! *pauses to collect herself* I'm okay, I'm okay. So now I have all my games installed and no CC. I've promised myself that I'm only going to download 100% safe CC from reliable creators. If anyone has any reccomendations for reliable CC or creators, PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT! I'M DYING WITHOUT CC!!! Thanks :)

Back to Sliders

So I've begun working with sliders again, which may or may not be a good thing depending on how one sees it. Just thought I should list out some pros and cons of using sliders as well as address the issue of my sims looking "too different" compared to the picture of them shown without CC. 

Pros of Using Sliders:

1. Sims won't have a generic look since there are more things to toggle with. Chances of them looking similar will be significantly reduced. Also for some reason sliders allow sims to look so much more realistic. (:
   
   
2. Which brings me to the next point, more realistic sims and maybe more celebrity lookalikes. Let's face it, it's nearly impossible to create a celeb lookalike without sliders. They end up looking so different you can't tell it's them unless they have the same name. 
   
   
3. Selfish reason: I feel happier with more stuff to toggle with. Haha. Sorry, it's true. I get so annoyed when my completed sims feel like they're missing something. Maybe the nose wasn't right and no matter how i toggled with the default sliders it wouldn't look right. (True story)
   

damn you laptop

THANKS YOU GUYSSS!!

WOW, the lady in Yellow has made it into the spotlight! Thanks you guys for rating and giving awesome comments! It wouldn't be in there without you guys! :D I promise part three won't dissapoint!

LIY Chapter two!!!

Chapter two of the Lady in Yellow is done at last! I'm waiting for it too be approved. I hope all of you enjoy it. Oh, and if you find that it seems like some parts have been skipped, i'll fix it. Sometimes when i submit things they come back with parts missing. But i copy and past everything to Word, so i can fix it quick. :D

At a Crossroad...

Been doing some thinking...yeah I know! Scary, right?... Anyhoo, in TS2 making lots was far more complex. The plants had to be "just so" or the gardener couldn't get to them. The CFE cheat was more controllable and the land stayed where you put it. Stuff like that. Creating lots was far more of a challenge. I love the new look of the TS3 buildings because you have more control over the colors and patterns even without using custom content, which I am notorious for, and they look more realistic.

However, you can't really do community lots anymore. Not the way we used to. They've gone the way of the "Rabbit Hole" and as I have never been one to make a building "shell" and publish it, this has been a major adjustment. This leaves residential lots. Just how many houses can a sim have anyway? LOL! There are billions of residential lots available, and with the new Create a Style tool everyone can make really awesome looking lots. Daily I see fabulous lots uploaded, and they are beautiful...as they should be! :D The loss of one non-CC using lot builder in this sea of fabulous lots full of fabulous custom content would go easily unnoticed.

Therefore, I am going to occasionally make lots, but not to the extent I used to. There is truly no need. I think I will focus on making things, mostly for guys (as they get so little attention), and just build lots when I am really inspired. Lots turn out WAY better when the lot builder is inspired by something. Who knows...maybe I will see a building and figure I'll give it a shot in-game. :D Until then, keep on playing, and have a great time! That is, after all, what it is all about! ;)

Love and hugs -

"Vicio"

I'll be making a home soon. Help me reach 7000 to inspire me more to build a great home!

Back to base ;)

So after many years i'm back at uploading my creations on TSR. I've enjoyed having my own site with my three friends very much, but RL has become a lot more demanding and time and especially energy has left no room to keep on attending our own website. I decided i for one wanted my creations back here on TSR where i know they'll stay available for a long time. 

For now it's mostly Sims 2 things but Sims 3 will be right behind. I hope this way everyone who wants them can get them and that's allways what i wanted.

Love, TS :)

First entry, first gift!

As soon as I saw the hair thought about him, so... doing my best... Maybe he doesnt look like Edward Cullen since it's my first attempt!

I haven't slept at all for a day...Still going strong..

MEH! I just can't sleep. Theres too many distractions. n_n I feel pretty epic staying up, and still wide awake. But i know how staying up isn't the best for you, so i'm about to hit the hey. I decided too inform you guys on a couple of things...First, The Sims Story, Lady in Yellow (LIY) chapter one, has been posted. There is another story in the works as well. I'll be getting pictures for the LIY chapter two while writing for the up and coming book. For those who read LIY, did you like it? Give me some feedback, i've got nothing on the actual story page. Hopefully some will greet me in the morning. Oh, and if you see typos and stuff, ignore them. n_n"""....If you've looked at my snapshots you'll see that i've got intermisson pics up! For what? For the LIY show of course! :D I'm super excited! I have to wait for filiming because i'm going to need the next EP, and thats why i'm starting another story while working on LIY. We do need voices. Information on that will be posted soon. All you have to do is read Eliza's, Fawn's, or Mom's words on cam or just voice. You Can get the lines from the story, any lines will be accepted. Where to send this will be posted soon, as we are still figuring out some things. n_n" Anyway, thanks for reading this blog. I hope you like my stuff, and if you don't i'll get better, so don't give up on meh!

I'LL PEEL YOU, BANANA!!!

My New Story

So this is my version of the Pleasant family. Mary-Sue got fired from her job and caught Daniel in bed woohooing with Kaylynn- third time. Mary-Sue got furious, so did I, lol. I made the couple get a divorce and Lilith became enemies with her father and best friends with her mother, along with Angela doing the same. Daniel and Kaylynn got engaged and had twins out of wedlock. One boy and one girl. They named them Dane and Kaykee. Mary-Sue kissed Daniel to get back at Kaylynn and Daniel refused. Kaylynn became furious with the both of them and soon kept attacking Daniel. Daniel apologized and Kaylynn forgave him and they woohooed one more time. The twins learned all their toddler skills and grew into children. Kaylynn gave birth to Daniel's fifth child who was a girl and named her Dani. Dani would get teased by Dane, and Kaykee would tease him back. Kaykee loved her little sister and always played dolls with her. Lilith changed her life around and got an A plus report card and a job in the Politics career taking after her mother. Angela got a job in the Oceanography career and got a promotion. Soon both teenagers became overacheivers. Mary-Sue redecorated the Pleasant home and made it more beautiful inside and outside. Mary-Sue was networking with Jennifer Burb, her ex-sister-in-law and got her job in the Politics career back. Daniel and Kaylynn finally got married and Dani aged to a child. Dane and Kaykee aged to teenagers and Lilith and Angela went to college, along with their boyfriends. Angela and Dustin broke-up after college, but were best friends still. Same with Lilith and Dirk. Instead, Angela and Dirk began dating and Dustin and Lilith began dating. Mary-Sue and Daniel aged to elders and Kaylynn became pregnant again. After college, Angela had Dirk's first son, Bean Dreamer. Kaylynn gave birth a day later to Daniel's sixth child, who they named, Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn and Dani never got along and would always toddler fight. Dani aged to a child and Dane and Kaykee headed off to college. Kaylynn gave birth to Daniel's seventh child who was a boy and named him Shane. Daniel died of old age leaving all his seven children with one heck of inheritance over one thousand simoleons. Kaylynn adopted her eighth child with Daniel named Avri Pleasant who was a baby boy with beautiful green eyes just like her and Daniel. Dane and Kaykee finished college and moved into The House Of Fallen Trees in Downtown. After three sim-days of living there, the ghost of Rainelle Neengia made them pee uncontrollably (I didn't really like Dane, but Kaykee!) and they both died of fright. Avri grew to a toddler and learned all his toddler skills from his mother and grew up badly. Shane aged to a child and got a D report card. Dani aged to a teenager and died in a fire now only leaving five more of Daniel's children alive. Shane died of fright from the ghost of Dani's and left only four more children of Daniel's alive. Gwendolyn grew up badly and into a child and got a D report card which soon lowered to an F report card. Gwendolyn died of the flu and and her grave was placed in the family's backyard cemetary. Kaylynn died of old age along with Mary-Sue and Avri got taken away by the social worker. I went back to the Pleasant household where the now elder- Jennfer Burb, adults Lilith and Angela were living. Angela got married to Dirk finally and he moved in the Pleasant home with her and his son, Bean. Dirk, Angela, and Bean moved to Downtown and into a cute black townhouse. Lilith and Dustin never got married and had one girl together named Lidia. Bean learned all his toddler skills from his parents and grew up well to a child. Angela then died in a fire while Bean was at school and while Dirk was at work. Bean came home from school and got a D report card and grew up badly. Lilith constantly kicked Angela's grave whenever she went to the graveyard, so I turned her emo (with custom content of course!) I then got Dustin a job as a comedian. Thats all I got for now!! :) XO my wonderful simmers.. :D
