Take Care Chapter 3
Take Care Chapter 3 should be out during this weekend :)
Trying to put together this chapter left my head spinning because I wasn't sure which characters should and shouldn't be inlcuded and I guess you'll find out.
New Username, hopefully soon.
Today, I requested a new username so hopefully it's changed soon. And don't be surprised if you never see my name ever again.
Yes yes, I am alive! [Just about..]
Blog #9
It has been a little while since I have posted anything new but I am working on a few things and they should be out soon... as long as no more emergancys drop on my house. Our furnace decided to quite working and it took us several days to get it running again. While that was going on, our water pump decided to have a fit as well, and that was not very much fun either. Then I managed to hurt myself while cutting wood. Why anybody trusts me with a chainsaw I will never know, it's a wonder that I didn't cut my own head off when I tripped and fell. And naturally while all those crummy things were happening a whole lot of little irritating things came along with it... you know, all those annoying things that normally are not to bad by themselves, but starts to become big in your own mind when coupled with the larger things. *sigh* But things are better now, and I should start to have some extra time again. One of the nice things that I discovered was that I actually won third place in the TSR Halloween screenshot event on Facebook. :) It took me until Nov. 8th to realize it, but it was nice to know. I have not recieved my prize yet, but I am sure that it will eventually happen. (I am sure that people are busy.) It was just nice that somebody actually liked the picture, made my day.
Here pretty soon I will have another castle/fortress up on the exchange. I was not actually planning to build another one, but my husband saw the first one and insisted that I build him a bigger one with a mini tomb adventure inculded. I was surprised by that request but I never could say no to the man. So within the next few days it should be available for download. (I am not building something that huge and a pain in the butt and not sharing.) Happy Simming, folks!
May Upload some Take Care Characters to TSR
I might upload some of my characters from my story "Take Care" sometime this week for anyone that was interested in the way they looked, had their hair set-up, or the clothes they wore :)
No time to play sims :(
I've had no time to play the sims in the past 2 months... I've never not had to play *sigh* school is fun a killjoy! However i've substituted actually playing the game with downloading awesome custom content for it so when i DO have time to play my sims will have awesome new things woo! :)
Story Reset! New and Improved Plot & Characters
And I'm back XD
As no one knows, My Funny Friends and Me is a story that I make up as I go. There is no established history of how and why things happened. I tried to give an explanation to Samantha's kidnapping but alas, I couldn't.
So to solve that silly mistake of mine, I've decided to restart the whole thing over. Only this time, there will be an established history, facts, and other things that will make this story even more unique. (coz, I find present day settings a little too common - yes, the timeline, setting, culture and other shiz will be changed as well.)
Characters will still be the same hot sexy bishies we love, plus MORE of them. Yep, not just Zeke and Nick (which I renamed to Gale XD) but *censored number lol* more characters.
HOWEVER. This will not be in sims format, but in hand drawn comic format.
I find it hard to convert my designs to sims since my buildings and settings are almost impossible to make ingame without killing my laptop forever. Seriously, a tower, embraced by a giant tree? Simming not possible D:
See what I mean? Course they're naked right now coz...well...shirtless men are just so nice to look at hahaha.
So yeah, a comic it shall be.
Regarding the problem with downloading mesh files at Peggyzone
Hi everybody!
Since I mostly retexture hairs and very often use meshes from Peggyzone, there has been a lot of comments about the link given to the hair mesh. There is a problem with opening Peggyzone pages to download the mesh files. Google Chrome browser and some other browsers have issues with Peggyzone pages. You can download the mesh from another browser like Mozilla Firefox v7.0 or Internet Explorer v8, it works fine.
I am writing this to stop all the comments and whining about this in my posts. It is really out of my control and there is absolutely nothing wrong with my uploaded content. So please stop whining about it, I will simply just delete the comments about this otherwise.
Just wanted to get this out of my chest 
Have a nice day you all!
Facebook & Twitter
Some of you might be wondering why it is taking me so long to get my next house, or story chapter, uploaded. Well, recently I was asked to join the TSR Staff and take over the Facebook and Twitter posts... things like the daily Featured Creations lottery, and the TSR Spotlight. I'm really excited to be doing these things, but they do take some time. I promise that I have a new house on the way and Chapter 6 is written I just need a couple more screenshots. Thanks for being patient!
Chapter 2 is complete!
I've have finally sumbitted Take Care: Chapter 2 for approval so I hope you guys look foward to reading it as much time as I put into making it ^^
Chapter 2......?
Okay so I promise this will be the only time I will apologize for a Tomb Raider chapter being late but I'm sorry the Tomb Raider chapter is going to be late....well is currently late because it's been 2 weeks and I really wanted to have a chapter out every few days.
But! I have good reason......well maybe not good....but I've been working on another project. A project that will reward me handsomely if I win. So basically a gaming tv show is running a competition to write a Batman comic and if you win you are rewarded with a life size 6 foot tall 75kg BATMAN! to.....do nothing with really......just have him standing there looking AWESOME!!! Yeah so not really sims related but that's what most of my free time has been devoted to. But the competition finishes on Monday, so after I've finished my batman comic I'll finish off Chapter 2 of Tomb Raider!!
Adios xox hope you all enjoy your weekend!
The Come Back
Hi ya all,
Nice to see you all again.
I''ve been away for a few months (well from the siteat least) I had to focus on finding a job and trying to keep it. over the months I switch jobs again, now everyting is more stable in my probation time at my second job I got a promotion already. having said this..... life treating me well......
I will be returning to TSR with new designs, new screens and more. I do had to reinstall all the sections of the sims 3 doing this as we speak, this means everyting else that I had planned out is gone so it''s a whole new start for me.....
I hope all the people that bookmarked me so for will stay with me for alittle bit longer new stuff arriving soon... and there will be a new world to when it is finished I''ll let you know and tell you where to get it...
Stay tunned.......
greets Liberty
New Apartment - Comming Soon!
West Appaloosa Luxury Apartments will be published on Nov 12, 2011! It is a fully functioning Late Night Apartment with neighbor NPC's! Hope you like it! ~Pieta
Kate In Canada Part 4: The Finale
Here is the fourth and final installment of my Kate In Canada set - items inspired by the wardrobe of the Duchess of Cambridge during her trip to Canada this summer. This set comprises two complete outfits, two tops and one pair of jeans.
This set is a little more casual than previous sets and has a bit of a Western theme. It requires three meshes available at TSR and one standard Maxis base game mesh.
The four outfits I've re-created this time are as follows:
1. The casual ensemble which Kate wore to visit Slave Lake in Alberta on 6 July, comprising navy blue J Brand skinny jeans worn with Linda Camm belt, cream ruffled blouse, Smythe Les Vestes One Button Blazer and Pied A Terre 'Imperia' black sling back wedges. I had a lot of trouble sourcing a mesh for this outfit as it required wedge heels, skinny jeans and an open jacket with a cut out section at the back. In the end I plumped for ulkrhsn's mesh 005 which is a little curvier than Kate but ticks most of the boxes, although the shoes had to be adapted a bit from those that Kate wore. This is a very versatile mesh which allowed me to re-create the white lining of Kate's Smythe Les Vestes jacket - I think this looks quite snazzy in the game.
2. Kate put together a Western-style outfit for Day 1 of the Calgary Stampede on 7 July, comprising GoldSign 'Passion' bootcut jeans worn with an eye-catching belt, the gorgeous 'Armonia' shirt by Temperley and R Soles 'Vegas Setter' cowboy boots - topped off, of course, with the symbolic white Smithbilt Stetson hat with which she had been presented earlier in the day on her arrival in Calgary. I have re-created this outfit as separates. The jeans use a standard Maxis base game mesh. The shirt requires Tantra's AF6 mesh. N.B. The shirt will vary in length in the game depending on which bottom half you pair it with.
3. For Day 2 of the Calgary Stampede on 8 July, Kate wore a similar outfit to the one she had worn the previous day, but this time substituted the equally gorgeous 'Rodeo' shirt by Temperley. The jeans are the same pair as worn on the previous day and the new shirt uses the same Tantra mesh as the previous one.
4. For her departure from Canada later on 8 July, Kate wore the elegant red wool 'Marianne' coat dress by Catherine Walker accessorised with the Queen's diamond maple leaf brooch and her favourite L.K. Bennett taupe 'Sledge' pumps. BBKZ's 150211 mesh worked very well for this outfit, especially the very cute platform high heels.
For once, all the outfits (except the jeans) are maternity friendly. However, you have to be careful which bottom half you pair with the shirts as bottom halfs are not generally maternity friendly and you end up with a very odd effect!
As always, a big thank you to the very talented meshers who allow me to re-create these real life outfits for The Sims.
All these outfits are available for adults and young adults.
** Incidentally, please make sure that you have your in-game settings set to the highest quality in order for the outfits to show up properly in the game. In the past, in the interests of making the game run more quickly, I have experimented with lower settings and was appalled at how blurred and awful some of my outfits appeared. My preview pictures are always created from screenshots taken in my game with minimal editing, so that is how the outfits should look in your game. If they don't, please check your settings! **
If you like these outfits, please check out my Kate Superset, Kate In Canada Part 1, Kate In Canada Part 2 and Kate In Canada Part 3
I hope you have enjoyed my Kate In Canada series. For your convenience, I will be combining all four Kate In Canada sets into one handy superset shortly.

Have started on a new world project
It's gonna take a lot of time. I have made a new medium world on the same original plan. Youtube video before the new map here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1koqJB2NSG8
At the same time I'm working on:
2 castles: 1 I'm just trying to reduce the amount of CC. Using the Custard for that. The other I have to go through the hole thing looking for any CC hidding under the floorboards.
241011 Spanish palace kind of thing. I'm making it for MTS I hope. Using 1 of Lulasimai massive 2,71 mb windows, 50x50. Doing decorating and furnishings there now. It's a technically advanced thingi.
1 lot has not really a shape yet. It's just for showing off my skills. It has an underground theater, an aquarium in the basement, a floating hottub, a sliding waterpool feature thingi, a pool on the roof, an entrance to the basement from ground, and a multilevel fountain at the front. I'm seriously doubting this will ever be useful. What's the point in showing off my skills anyway.
The Italian Palace/mansion lot with the big fountain in the middle is still at the back of my mind somewhere. The problem is fitting the emitters without being able to see the result instantly. I probably have to live with some clutter around.
... and I have some other plans too ... of yes Villa dei Mysteri in Pompeii for MTS competition ... and more.
Just a few more screenshots to go.
Just took the story cover screenshots for "Take Care" and boy was picking which posebox to use mind boggling :s but hey maybe I can finish my next chapter by friday
^^
Almost finished!
I have been working on a project and have under the same time been busy with school. So there is why I have not been posting in a looong time. But I am almost finished with my project/request and soon there will be a lot of new content up, I hope you will like it! And thank you so much for your nice feedback on my creations, I really, really appreciate it!/Love Caiza
Hehehe!
Saw this written somewhere -
You know that moment when you walk into a room and forget why you are there? That's because the Sims player controlling you has cancelled your action...
Off Topic xD
I had so much fun playing with all these pose boxes that I got carried away from my story lol, I'll try and start a few screenshots today for Take Care: Chapter 2.
Retroset, Single Bedroom Dreams, Art Nouveau Kitchen
If you wonder where these sets are gone - we are working on it to bring them back ....
we are sorry for the inconvinience
a sign of life
Yeah, i am still alive. Sooooo much to do but sooooooo little time :(
Our Babyboy is now nearly 8 Months old, he crawls, puts everything in his mouth and will climb at every table or chair or whatever he finds.
I would love to play sims, build lots and stuff... but i have no time for it :(
New collection Update!
Part one of my new collection is almost ready! I hope you all will like it! :)
I am officially rubbish.
I got halfway through my halloween tees and then got busy. So I am rubbish, although I am a busy mum with a house to run and 3 kids (which includes a very boisterous but adorable toddler and 10 week old baby) to deal with..so..please forgive.
I do hope to release a set at some point..but I can't say when. If I do you will never see it, so it will just be a surprise.
Country Baking
Grrr! My computer is annyoing >.>
So yah my game became corrupt and wouldn't load, so I had to re-install everything yesterday on my pc AGAIN. I need a new pc so bad and maybe I wouldn't be having these problems right now. Not mention the fact that I am a total sims 2 download junkie which may be the problem why my game takes forever to load, but whatever. Once it loads, everything is there and all my sims looked decked out in the end ^^
I'm Terrible, I Know
OK, I'm just gonna get this out there because I'm still laughing from my visit to EA's site this morning. New kids' clothes. I'm not sure where in the world kids dress like that (probably California or New York) but it ain't happenin' here in the Midwest. Yes we're boring but people do stick with the trends, they just don't go weird. The new clothes for kids at the official site are weird. I think they should've named it Lil Hoodlums and Harlots. What is with the jacket crap?! We wear jackets here for warmth because we have seasons. They're not a fashion statement. They're bulky, cumbersome, often noisy depending what they're made of, and downright unnecessary if it ain't raining, snowing, or freezing out. Maybe because we do have seasons here in Illinois, when the weather lets us strip off the layers we do. We don't layer year-round. We don't wear 3 shirts to be "cool". We don't wear legwarmers. Legwarmers? My mother made me wear those in the 80s and it's only because I walked to school both ways, uphill, in winter. They were for warmth, not some sick fashionista's fantasy. T-shirts and jeans folks. And sneakers. I dunno, maybe I'm just old and stupid but I play my game for fun and a creative outlet, not to see my sims wearing ridiculous clothes nobody in their right mind would consider. You folks on the coast make Japan fads look tame. Sheesh.
Sorry, just had to get that out. I'm still giggling from the obsurdity. I've never been a fan of atomic age stuff either. That's another set at the site for November. I don't like it when it's free let alone something I'm expected to pay for. I watched the Jetsons and ya know, that's where it stayed. With Astro and his automated dog-walker and Jane with her weird hair and way wide skirts. I don't see the charm in melting furniture and adding rings to everything. Eck!
So on to some more Pets fun and frivolity because I know you guys come here to giggle. I get enough PMs to know that. Horses. I've dabbled in horses lately. I made a sim with a trusty steed and loyal mutt. I made Artax from The Neverending Story. I liked that horse and it's a crime in had to die in the mud with nothing but a scrawny brat screaming at him for a farewell. Ah, Artax. So I have Artax and a border collie. Still not a dog fan but at least I like the way those look. Don't know why I'm shying away from cats right now. I've had cats all my life so maybe I'm saving the best for last. Anyway, horses. Um, have any of you given them a horse ball to play with? It's HUGE! And my horse, and I'm sure all horses, does this weird, um, well... retarded thing on it. I took some screenies because I laughed so hard when I saw it but didn't upload them here. Long story, don't feel like telling it. The horse just sort of lays on the thing. Like it's dead or suddenly had a seizure and is unconscious. I swear I can almost see the drool running down the ball from the horse's mouth. It's really disturbing. Buy a horse ball and watch your stallion suddenly become impaired. It's worth a giggle or two.
Something I did notice, and it's really hard not to, is my pets are smart. Yes, they are, for the most part, considering they are still pets. So far I've only meddled with the premade in-game animals. They're incredibly stupid and messed up. My horse taught himself the jumping skill and the racing skill, puts himself in the barn for the night, pees where he's supposed to without training, and is generally a non-issue. Except now he's getting into my garden and I have to scold him. All my sim really has to do is fix the hygiene now and then. And learn to ride. He is such a sad, sorry sight right now. What a dork. My dog taught himself the non-destructive trait. I really didn't do much reinforcing. A message just popped up one day that he learned it. Wow, nice. He brings my sim the paper every day, sleeps in his doghouse without being directed, and doesn't do anything with his pee and has always peed where proper without direction. No drinking the pee. No playing in the pee. He doesn't even play in the horse's pee. And, I just have to mention this. The horse's get a censor when they pee? I... really don't know how to take that. The dogs don't, male or female. Yep, Rex just lifts his leg and wizzes. No censor. But my horse stands there and just goes, in a censor blur. It's a horse. What is the big deal? Is there really something there EA? Shame on you if there is. This is Barbie World ya know! What are ya doin'?! Rotting our kids' minds with unfit visions of horse paraphenalia? I'm shocked and appauled. Not really, just wanted to be stupid.
Oh, one last thing. Ben Schmidt for cute babies and Gavin Pinkerton for EXTREME FEATURES!
I've made a Website!

First attempt at creating paintings for the sims!
Hai there!
Just wanted to show off my attempts at creating some paintings for the sims. Let me know what you think..
Thanks to the great artists that a) created the tsr workshop and b) created the tutorials so I could create these.
Incoming 19! :|
Here comes 19! Another year of breathing... I was born on November 4, 1992. Yes, that would be tomorrow exactly since here in our place the time is still 9:31 AM. I can say this birthday is the saddest birthday I ever had. Though its not yet nov.4 but whats happening recently in my life is depressing. I had a very tough year. There were happy times but most of it are the not so happy times...
I have never been this sad before my birthday comes, those past 18 years as I remembered I was happy and excited. But now, I don't know. Maybe because I had lost 'something' I cannot replace and its really hard for me to move on from it, I've been trying for almost a year now but still, I am not completely over it. The past year that 'something' was the happiest part of my life, it was just the best I ever had and maybe because I do not have it anymore, I am not happy or excited like the way I used to be.You ask whats that something eh? Heh.I don't want to mention it, but you will know it if you read my other blogs especially the "Dreams? What are they for?"..
Another thing that makes me sad because my siblings didn't contact me yet. Usually, at the very start of november they would contact me and greet me a happy birthday. But this year, they failed to contact me. On the past years too, they're with me celebrating my birthday but since they had married and busy from work, they couldn't make it to celebrate with me.Why? because my two elder siblings work far away from my country.The other works in USA and the one works in Ireland.Far isn't it?...
Another reason is...My closest friend, I can tell she is :) here at TSR is leaving and will be seldom to check the site. Lets hide her identity and call her "Rosenoire87" hahaha maybe you know her lol. I understand her reason of leaving, I know TSR is stressful :D. But I'm still happy because she wants to keep in touch with me :D. You take care of yourself buddy! I'll miss you for sure...and know that I'll be here at TSR waiting for you :)
Though I had a tough year I'm still thankful that I had reach this age so far :) I know there will be another mornings and nights and the sun will surely set for me :) I'm still thankful because life gave me friends who made my not so happy days to happy days :D Have a great day people, thanks for reading ;D
Chapter 1 - Tomb Raider plus....ramble 100th Story!
Okay so I am currently in the process of uploading the first chapter of the new Tomb Raider story, the screen is loading in the background so I thought I'd write to let you know that. Anyway the internet is being REALLY slow today....don't know what it's problem is! Does anyone else find that it takes forever to upload screenshots? I think it's just me because it is being exceptionally slow. Anyhoo be right back need to upload the next 5 screenshots.
So I don't know if it's because I haven't done much story writing of late, but this chapter has taken me AGES to do. It's easily 10 hours of pure work, which isn't counting the time it took to write beforehand.
Woo! Last screenshot to edit and then I can publish!! Oh wait....no second last damn!
Nearing the end of the uploading process! Just have to fix up the front cover image and then I shall PUBLISH!! Mwuhahahaaa! and then I'll go to bed :)
In the final processes of uploading the story....just have to think of what to write on the front page! and my mind is a total blank.....I'll think of something to write after a proof read.
I think this is where perfectionism has its downfall. You know everything looks great but it takes AGES to do. Just finished proof reading and....I've re-worded sooo many things! and still not really happy with some of the screenshot editing.
Yeah I'll take this moment to apologize in advance if you read chapter one and it's not very long. Because it's only 19 screenshots. Which is kind of a slap in the face, I spend all this time on it and it's only 19 screenshots! BUT oh well no....chapter two is probably going to be the same length as well. Ah ha! Chapter 3 is going to be nice and long for you!
Okay just finished writing on the title page and I'm started to get....exhaustion delirious....I don't know I'm really tired....been working all night it is REALLY 8:46AM and I'm glad I have absolutely nothing on today so I can get a couple of hours sleep.
AHAHAAAAHAHAA!! I just hitted the submit button! So the first chapter has been submitted!! Wooo! So it should be published very soon! and you know what I just realised? I haven't submitted ANYTHING in over a year! Last date I submitted was 25-10-10!! Well I'm back now and won't be going anywhere for a long time!
Oh yeah! The new chapter of Tomb Raider I just submitted is going to be my 100th story published!! Well not really but my stories page thinks it is. I technically have 102, but because I stupidly clicked the edit button on my very first two stories it changed them from 'approved' to 'edited' and if I submit them again they'll be out of place....so that's why I haven't. I probably should though my first story was somewhat amusing, and it's nice to look back on.
Oh speaking of looking back on, I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to make an old story I wrote when I was 7 or something into a sims story AND then I actually did. But then I had to reinstall the game and I thought I lost all those stories, turns out if you copy your neighbourhoods folder it not only saves simmies but it also saves stories. So I do have that story all made up but I don't know if it's really worth submitting it or not.
Anyway I don't know what I'm still doing writing in this blog....really tired and I submitted my story ages ago. It's now 8:58AM and the cat is fast asleep on my lap.....he looks so happy and peaceful. Although he doesn't enjoy the sound of typing very much so I have to substitute typing fast for typing quietly......ah jeez the things we do for our pets.
Oh! See I knew there was something else! The Sims 3 arrived in the mail on Monday!! Installed it last night.....or the night before. Haven't played it yet though. I mean I've played it before when it first came out I had a pre-order but I returned it shortly after installing it on my computer. Haha the guy behind the counter was so shocked. But I really don't like the sims 3! I don't know maybe I'll change my mind after I make some pretty sims and good stories with it.
Anyway it's 9:06AM it takes so long typing quietly! Stupid cat! Ah woops woke him up.....now he's giving me sleepy daggers.......and now he's back asleep. Well I'm about to go to sleep too, so I hope you enjoy my new Tomb Raider story.
