Halloween Update
Just a quick update on my current Halloween set! I ended up making four different versions, and each one comes in five colors for a total of 20 trees! That may or may not be a lot to you, but you can always choose not to install any of the ones that you don't like! Also, just to clarify: these are only deco. They do not actually do anything in game. (Imagine if they were like the magic gnomes and were randomly appearing and disappearing all over the lot!) You could have your cat scratch them, if you want. Although they might scratch back! Just kidding! Cats won't have the urge to scratch this any more than any other object, and will still prefer a scratching post if one is avalible.
More About Pets And Custom Content
The good news - The TSR fix works on almost everything that was broken, and is quick, and easy to use.
The bad news - The fix does NOT work on beds and bathtubs.
What does this mean? Object creators are hard at work fixing these items as fast as they can. If you download as much custom content as I do, you should already be seeing that warning at the top of the page when you sign in that reads "You have Updated Items Available for Download" And the really bad news... not all object creators are still active and their beds/bathtubs may not get fixed right away, if at all.
But in the end, it's all going to be OK.
If you are having problems with any of my houses, please let me know.
Help?
I'm completely obsessed with the Sims 2, "emo" hairstyles, screamo, and gothic/creepy things. If anyone knew where I could download some emo/colorful hairstyles or hairstyles that have streaks of color or highlights in them, that would be amazing. Also, clothing that involves Hollywood Undead, Suicide Silence, or any other screamo/rock/emo bands would be EXTREMELY helpful. Also, maybe male "emo" things because I don't have anything for my boys, really. Any ideas are very much appreciated. Just to let you know: I have already tried Parsimonious and Modthesims. I've also searched it on TSR and I still would like to find more things. Thanks <3 ~msodonnel99~

Halloween
Hi everyone!
Just a quick preview of a set that I just started for Halloween! A set that I am calling, for now, "Evil Halloween Trees" (How original! I know...)
Notice anything unusual about it? I'll give you a hint: the glow! It's the result of a material called "Full Bright" (for any other creators who might be interested) that makes things "glow". I've never seen this effect used in any Custom Content before, so I am incredibly excited at the possibility that this may be the first time! (Apologies to any creators who might have already made use of this technique, I just haven't seen it!)
There is one downside to the shiny, pretty, fancy looking effect, though, in that the glow color is NOT recolorable. Gasp! Horror! I know. I hate when things are not recolorable! The tree bark is recolorable, but everything that is orange can not be changed from within the game. To counter this tragedy, I'm thinking about maybe making multiple versions of each tree, with a different color. I'm thinking Orange, Red, and Purple. No guarantees, though! I may end up with more, or fewer colors.
I'm also highly considering taking this effect to some regular Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins, so stay tuned!
*UPDATED* Pets/Patch Beds Update
Hi all,
As you may or may not know by now, the Pets expansion pack - and it's accompanying patch(es) break the majority of Custom Content. The amazing TSR team has worked and came up with a generic "fix all" program - however, so far, we have discovered two things that it does not fix: bathtubs and beds. These have to manually fixed/updated/remade. I have several beds, and I just wanted to let you all know that I am working to get them fixed as we speak! I am hoping to have them all updated and ready for re-download tomorrow sometime. I'll post an update here when they are all ready, as well as on each individual bed/set. Check back soon!
Kris
- UPDATE - Oct 22, 2011
All of my TS3 beds have been updated and the new, working files have been uploaded and published. Each file now has the "PetsUpdate" identifier in the file name, so you should be able to tell if you have downloaded the new one or not. I tested them in my game and had no problems. (Base Game, Generations, and Pets) If you run across any problems, errors, or glitches, please let me know! Happy Simming!
Kate In Canada Part 3
So here is Part 3 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 three complete outfits, one top and one pair of jeans.
This set is a little more colourful than the previous set. It requires three meshes available at TSR and one from Just Sims 2 (which I have used previously, so you may already have it).
The four outfits I've re-created this time are as follows:
1. The navy blue Ted Baker trench coat that Kate wore for her arrival in Yellowknife on 4 July. I was a little surprised by this outfit as I felt it was perhaps a bit on the short side. There was a white dress or perhaps a skirt and blouse peeking out from beneath the coat, and NataliS's lovely layered mesh 021 from Just Sims 2 (which I also used for Kate's Epsom outfit) allowed me to reproduce this. I have categorised this as outerwear only, as generally people don't wear coats indoors! So you will need Seasons for this outfit to show up in your game.
2. Another of my favourites, the Malene Birger Bullet dress which Kate wore to visit Yellowknife on 5 July. Finding a mesh for this dress was a challenge as I was keen to reproduce the padded shoulders which are so key to the shape of this dress. The closest I could find was mesh 022 by NataliS. The shoulders are a bit more pronounced than those of Kate's dress, but I think it looks quite striking.
3. Later on 5 July Kate visited Blachford Lake, a trip requiring an informal outfit. She wore the same navy J Brand jeans and Sebago Bala moccasins that she had previously worn for the dragon boat race, this time worn with a stone military style Burberry shirt and an unusual embellished leather belt by Linda Camm. I couldn't find one full body mesh which met all my requirements for this outfit, so I ended up making the shirt and jeans as separate items. This does have the benefit that you will be able to mix and match the shirt and jeans with any others in your Sims' wardrobes. The shirt uses a base game Maxis mesh. The jeans require the Mix n Match Part 4 mesh by Simal, which unfortunately seems to suffer from the same problem I've encountered with some other alpha meshes - the 'missing insides' syndrome. However, it's not a big problem here as it only affects the lower parts of the legs of the jeans.
4. For her arrival in Calgary on 7 July, Kate wore the silk Primrose dress by Jenny Packham - possibly not the best choice, as it was very windy at the airport and the skirt of the dress was full, lightweight and floaty...She carried the gorgeous Natalie clutch which I made previously. I tried a couple of meshes for this dress and settled on T035 by Sunair. The mesh is maternity friendly, but something odd happens when you have a pregnant Sim wear it, which I've never seen before - the high heels and puffed sleeves disappear. I am guessing the mesh was based on a simpler Maxis mesh which is what it reverts to on a pregnant Sim. It is a pity that more meshes aren't maternity friendly. I encounter very few.
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.

News and update on my story!
this is just a little update on my next chapter thats coming out in like....tomorrow? maybe? ether tomorrow or sunday for sure.
i could have actually post it the other day but because i was freaking out of the sims 3 pets coming out i accidently deleted PAGES AND PAGES of the story and chapters i was saving up just to be prepared for the game :( fail me right?
so i'm kind of rushing and trying to re do all the seens for the screenshots again Dx what makes it worse is that my mods don't work from the new patch so its really annoying to change traits for my sims so they can make the idle i want, and also its more annoying since the new patch messed up alot of CC's that i have for some reason -_-......so..very..annoying..so theirs gonna be some screenies with random stuff under the table *palm* just ignore them lol. if anyone can tell me whats all that about and help me out on fixing it i would love you forever!! :O
and good news!
since pets came with alot of cool things i deleted that old green barn i had in the screens and build my own so i'm very excited about that and alot of cool neat looking stuff :D
i'll give everyone a heads up though, if my new screenshots are a bit dull, i'm try to focus more on the story writing than the screenie itself, even though my grammer isn't the best >.>
anyways still working on chapter 3 for you guys<3
kk well till next time
love

Dreams? What are they? :x
It’s been two nights that i have dreamt about me getting back my ex and honestly it’s so frustrating :(...Yeah I admit, I’m not that over her TOTALLY since we broke up I think almost a year now..Why I’m still not over her TOTALLY you ask? I do not know either, maybe because I was too serious on her...Man; I gave everything to her the best that I could to make her happy ALWAYS. My friends knew how much sacrifice I did just for her and God knows how much I really love her... But I guess that’s just the way life is, at any time, everything can change even people’s feelings, I think it’s the most complex and unstable thing in the world. I have been trying my best to move on and then what? She just came in to my dreams and saying she’s wants me back? That is just so insane, I don’t want to keep my hopes up again just because of those DREAMS… I’ve had enough… It’s too painful and I don’t think I can take it anymore… every day I am hoping and praying that I would be over her soon COMPLETELY. I can say I am a bit okay now until those dreams appeared! It’s really bothersome :(… I had stopped thinking of her the past few months and just because of that DREAM it’s like I’m back to the very beginning of forgetting her. And I tell you, it’s too DAMN painful… I just thank my friends who are always there for me for they made me strong enough to face REALITY.
I just don’t get it, life took away the one I love and I have accepted it, that we can never be and then gave me that DREAM? Seriously, what are dreams? What do they represent? :(
Renoir is outside
My favorite artist is Renoir. I love him. I can not omit him. I am here with three paintings. I would rather publish any bathing girls but it is suitable more into my real bedroom. Renoir's paintings of children are also famous a I made also supporting story. It seems I will start to introduce every creation by story. I like it.
Free for a month!

Part 2 of the Art Deco Set delayed due to the latest patch
I am working to finish off Art Deco Build Set Part 2 but due to the latest mess that EA has created I will have to patch my game, pray that my game will still work after patching, wait for the latest version of Workshop and then remake the objects so that they will be compatible with the latest patch and Pets. This will delay the release of Part 2 about a week or so.
Purple Ghosts & Pumpkins
I'm in the process of making a very very VERY LARGE SET of wallpapers for Halloween. It will have (ALL FULLY coordinating of course) walls with tile, some paint, some with the ghosts & pumpkins pattern aka WALLPAPER, & some with a bit of more than 1. I've got a definite group of 6 colors with a possible 7th all with festive spook-tacular Halloween names. :D I myself when I have downloaded walls from people REALLY LIKE having a choice so I can make different combinations with the same "set".
I often find myself using CFE cheats when I build (ConstrainFloorElevation) to make attached garages & things like that.......it does however make 2 triangular walls where the 2 levels meet that would normally just be a single rectangle......THIS is one of my main motivations for wanting to make walls sets that also can work around THIS cheat & still look AOK. I've been hard at work.....the TRICK is to be to get them ALL DONE in time to be published for YOUR Halloween TREAT. :D
Sorry I couldn't figure out how to attache a pic.....or I'd have given everyone a "sample" to see what it is I'm up to.
I almost died @_@
when my mother told me the guy from gamestop said 'i was the only one in town who preordered and got the limited edition of sims 3 pets. and their was like 7 people calling in gamestop willing to pay more for it'
soooo happy the guy didn't sell it D: lol!! excited excited excited!!! downloading it now x3
have a little bit of bad news though, i was starting chapter 3 of trails of broken hearts today when i realized i accidently deleted all my screenshots last night while cleaning my files :( :( :( mega sad!!!! :(
but i promies i'll make more and even better ones to make up for the time and the loss. so stay tuned!
much love

Pets on its way
I just got a mail, that Pets is on its way in the mail - very excited, but I can see from all the problems that I better get the projects I´m working on right now, done before I install it. I might not have any problems, as I had decided to upload them unfurnished anyway, mainly because one of them are very, very big and probably would exceed any size limits if I did the decor.
They (the lots) have been neglected because I have had a lot of trouble with origin and I did a complete reinstall of my computer - that did absolutely nothing regarding origin – it still doesn´t work and EA has not been a lot of help, but I have an almost “clean” computer now.
Anyway – I´ll get my lots done this week and then I can have a lot of fun with some puppies.
Worse for Wear
I don't even know where to start. I'm on day 10 of an unexpected hospital stay. Absolutely going stir crazy. Well enough to go home but have to stay until blood thinners get to an acceptable level for the doctor. Gah!
Here's the skinny. I broke my foot Sept 26. That turned into being on my butt and hopping around the house on one foot. I moved in with my parents so I'd have some help as living alone wasn't working out so well. After a week there I end up unconscious on the bathroom floor. I could barely breathe and was in shock. 911 and an ambulance ride later and I'm in ER fighting for my life. I know, so dramatic. Turns out several blood clots went through my heart and into my lungs. Usually it stops at the heart for most people. It's not common to live through it. My right leg, the one with the broken foot, has a huge clot the length of my leg. I can breathe again, I'm on oxygen and blood thinners, and I'm hobbling around with my bad foot. All in all, I'm doing pretty well.
After 10 days in the hospital and much whining from me, my family finally decided to give me my laptop. Bless their hearts. I'm catching up with emails and other stuff. I'm not sure when I'm going home. I did a lot before going into the hospital but never got the screenshots and stuff done to upload it before the epic event. So that is sitting on my desktop for now. Once I get home I can get back to my games and recovery. It will be a long one.
I just thought I'd check in to let everyone know why I've been absent. My copy of Pets is due to be delivered today so that will mess a lot of stuff up. Ah well. It wouldn't be a Pets EP if it didn't totally screw over every piece of CC for everyone. I've never been an advocate of the Pets EPs. Aside from screwing up every object ever made, it usually just ushers in more unwanted lag. Yeah, a cat is nice, but I can live without it. I get the EP for all the cool stuff included with it. Pets are just another household object to me. I know, so cold. Well, if they didn't cause all sorts of problems and lag I'd feel a bit differently. This EP always causes so many problems. Once they're cleared up everything is fine again, but it's the community-wide frustration and fuss that makes me sad. It really shouldn't be that hard. EA loves to cause problems. And why they just don't include the furry critters in the base game to eliminate this mess later eludes me. The months/years of whining from pro-pet community members is enough to kill enthusiasm for the game. It's all about money. Charge more for the base game then. I don't care. Just get it right the first time for a change.
That's enough grumpiness from me. I'm stuck for now but hope to be home soon. I'll have the time to do some new lots I suspect.
Send my love to heaven :'(
Send my Love to Heaven
She was my best friend and I have known her since we were small. She knew all my secrets, which reveals my feelings for her, that I love her not only because she's pretty and smart but also the way she laughs at everything and the way she sees life and love. I could still remember the first time we met; I was five years old then. It was one windy afternoon having no one to play with except for my best friend, Troy. He and his family just moved out to a neighboring state at transfer because his father got promoted. And so I climbed up our tree house, I saw a moving truck coming down the street. I watched it approaching and noticed a family station wagon following it. It stopped in front of the house and out came a family. I was about to glance away when came out the loveliest girl I've ever seen.
She was four years old that time but then even at an early age she was a beauty. She had long curly hair, which reached almost to her waist. She had fair complexion and eyes which could make a man lose his heart into them. I continued to watch her when suddenly she looked up and saw me watching them in the tree house window. I was about to duck when she smiled and waved her hand. I waved back and then watched in amazement as I saw her running towards the tree house. So I went to the edge of the ladder and said, "Would you like to come up?" she answered, "May I?" So I help her climb up and when she reached the top she then turned to me and said, "By the way, my name's Sam, what's yours?" I answered, "My name is Christopher but then you can call me Chris." She smiled and said, "Well I like your name. Hey your tree house's neat!" then I replied, "Thanks! Troy and I made this. This used to be our hide out. We used to goof around, play ball and go biking together. He was my best friend and I kind of miss him you know." She smiled and said "I'm here now, we could do things you do with Troy and I could be your new best friend too. I never had a boy for a friend before so it could be exciting to have one. I could learn how to play ball and I have my bicycle so we could go biking together. Now how does that sound to you?" I smiled and said, "Well that sounds good enough." Then she held her hand and said, "It's a deal then!"
So that's how it started. So we became best friends and it was kind of strange at first for she was a girl and there are things which I was little bit hesitant to indulge her like catching frogs, swimming in the lake and climbing trees, but then she tried and did everything just to please me. There was even a time when she fell off the bike trying to catch up with me in a race we had and I was the one who bandaged her scraped knee. I could still remember the time when she hit the window of our neighbor when we were playing baseball and it was I who talked to Mr. Chambers and promised to pay for the damage, which meant having to loose a week's allowance. I remembered the time when I fell off the tree when I tried to rescue a little kitten because Sam was near to tears when she saw the helpless kitten trapped in a branch. I even fought with the tough guy when they teased Sam and made her cry and I ended up having a black eye and a bruised cheek. I remember Sam crying as she placed an ice bag over the damaged eye and later gave it a get-well kiss. I did everything to please her and gave everything her little heart desires.
The lake was our favorite hang out. We had our Saturday swim routine. We would pack food and later eat them under the big oak tree. There was a special branch in which the two of us could sit together and tell each other's dreams. She dreams of being a Ballerina and she knows my dream of becoming a doctor. She never laughs at my dreams and pursuits even if they were quite impossible. It made me like her even more.
As years went by, I noticed that my feelings towards her were slowly changing. Somehow, I thought it was just a simple crush case. But when I started thinking about her at night, dreaming of her and having the feeling of wanting to be with her all the time, I thought it was something different, something that made me feel strange, but then it was exhilarating feeling. It made me feel so alive. Whenever our hands touch, I could feel the tingling sensation in my spine. Once when we were at the lake having our Saturday swim routine and as I carried her towards the water edge, I had the feeling of not wanting to let go. I just wanted that moment to continue hoping it would never end. I then realized I was slowly falling in love with my best friend.
Many times I tried to deny the feeling for I was scared to imagine what would happen if ever I'd try to tell her how I feel about her. I was scared because she might think that I'm taking advantage of her and our friendship. I was afraid of losing her so I just kept my feeling hidden.
We reached the age of fifteen and I noticed that Sam grew lovelier each day. How my heart aches wherever I see boys glance her way. I want to punch their noses as I watch them talking to her giving compliments, flowers and chocolates. There were times when I watch her at a distance with mixed feelings of anger and hurt! Because it hurts so much to know that there were so many things I wanted to tell her but then I could not do so. There were so many presents which I long to give her but then I could not for she might see me only as a friend. I was also scared of letting her know how I feel about her as much as losing her.
Then one day, I just learned from a friend that she already had a boyfriend. At first, I tried to convince myself that it was just a rumor. Her boyfriend was Mark, a popular senior, who was the heartthrob of the campus. She, being the cheerleader was close to the basketball team to which Mark was the captain. When I saw them walking together at the parking lot that afternoon, I watched her with my heart slowly breaking into pieces. I saw her wave at me but I just pretended not to see her for I was scared that she might see in my eyes the pain I'm feeling inside because of seeing her with another guy. Those days that followed where the saddest days of my life. How my heart aches when I see her walk by me with him at her side. Every time we meet in hallways and I see him around her, there's a feeling inside me that makes me want to grab her away from him. How it hurts to see the girl I long possess was now owned by somebody else. That special smile I long for her to cast on me was now casted on him. As she passes by me she doesn't know that I whisper the words "God how I love you."
Then one faithful day they broke up. She came too me that evening crying on my shoulder. They had a big fight and it ended up with their break up. Mixed feelings were scaring me inside. I was happy because she was free and maybe I would have the chance of telling her my true feelings for her but then I was feeling so bad because she is crying her heart out just for him. At that time, I was not quite sure of what I wanted to do.
So we found ourselves doing what we did in old days with our Saturday swim routine, spending time in our tree house. We still enjoyed doing childish pranks for we still are both young at heart. So many chances I had for me to confess my feelings for her but still I couldn't bring myself to her for I was scared of losing her once more. I once lost her, now I could not bear of losing her again by telling her, "I love her". So I just kept my feelings even if it was bursting to be expressed from my aching heart.
It was a week from our JS Prom, we were seated at the branch of an oak tree drying ourselves after our afternoon swim when she said, "I was wondering Chris if you would like to be my partner?" It just got out of my wits for it was like a dream I never thought would happen. It took me awhile to answer her, "I thought there are so many boys who would die for you to be their partner?" So she turned away and quietly said, "Well I just thought I would like to spend that night with my best friend." Then she continued in a whisper I could barely hear, "Don't you want to die just like them to be my partner Chris?" I was too stunned to speak for it came close for me to blurt my feelings for her. We… we're silent for a while until I finally whispered, "I would be happy to be your partner Sam. "The she smiled and suddenly kissed my cheek. I could hardly contain the joy I felt that time. I saw her turned red and bowed her head. Suddenly she stood up and run towards the water saying, "Last one to reach the water treats to sundae fudge!”I ran slowed up so that I would lose which meant having to have her with me for another three hours or more.
Our Prom night came. I bought a new tuxedo and poured almost the entire bottle of perfume. I went to fetch Sam. Sam's mother greeted me and I went to sit in the living room waiting for her to come down. I was talking to her father when I heard her say, "How do I look?" I look up and saw her lovelier than ever in a strapless white dress with her hair flowing around her face. I stood up and opened my mouth but found out I could not find my voice. Then I got her hand shakily fastened the corsage around her wrist and whispered, "To the loveliest girl in the whole world." She then asked, "Is that true?" I nodded and she smiled and I smiled back then I turned to open the door for her. When we arrived at the gymnasium we hardly recognized our classmates. Gone were the jeans and T-shirts. They were replaced with tuxedos and gowns. Then I held out her hand bowed and said, "Would you give me the honor of your first dance?" She laughed and curtseyed. Then I led her to the dance floor. It was like a dream coming true, a moment of enchantment. I was there dancing with the only girl I ever loved. She was smiling up to me, as we were slowly moving in a smooth gliding motion. I found myself lost as I stared down to her sparkling eyes. The curls of her long hair were like waves enhancing her beautiful face. There were so many things I wanted to tell her that moment. I wanted to tell that she was the most beautiful girl that night. I wanted to tell her that she would always be the beacon of light in my darkness, but what I wanted to tell her the most was that I love her. I drew up all my courage and bent to whisper it in her ear but suddenly the music stopped and the magic was gone. I came close to telling her, but still haven't done it.
We walked towards the table and found ourselves surrounded by friends. I asked her if she wanted a drink, she nodded and so I went to get one. It took me a long time to get one and when I returned to our table, she was gone. I asked her friend, Katie, where she was but she told me that she doesn't know. So I went to search for her. As I was searching for her, I reached the garden. There I saw two silhouette figures outlined by the moon's silvery light. They were so close to each other that I could never describe the feeling I had when I recognized the white dress that Sam was wearing that night. I just turned and left the gymnasium.
Since that night, I avoided her. Many times she tried talking to me but I never gave her the chance to do so. I was afraid to hear her say that she loves Mark and not me. I would rather have left in ignorance of her true feelings for me than to hear from those dreaded words and feel my hope crush and my heart break. I didn't return her calls. I would not see her if she comes into our house. In the hallways, as she approaches I would go to another direction. It also hurts to do those things but then I thought that was the best way to forget her. Those months were tormenting but still I kept my pride.
The day of our graduation came. I was planning to take up medicine at a neighboring state and was to move out the next day. As the program ended, she approached me and handed me a rose. As she stared at me, there was something in her eyes I couldn't describe. There was sadness in them and when she smiled it wasn't the same smile she had. I wanted to hug her at that moment, tell her that I love her but then she turned and walked away from me.
So I moved out the next day as I planned. Luckily, I was accepted at the university. I concentrated with my studies but still I think of her at night. I was always wondering if she thinks of me too. I tried hard not to think of her but still I could not stop myself from loving her. Each achievement I have was done for her. I thought that if I will be successful one day, I would be able to tell her that I love her and by that time, I'm worthy of having her.
It was a year after our graduation when I decided to return home and see her again. I thought a year is too much for me not to see her and during the past year I felt like a person lost in the desert and only the sight of her could quench the thirst I have inside. As I got off the plane, I went home directly, desperate to get to her house desperate to see her, to hug her. Then I would tell her that I missed her and that I have loved her for a long time. This time I am determined to let her know my true feelings for her and I could not contain anymore the love I have for her. I reached their house; I saw her elder sister and I approached her. I smiled at her but I noticed she didn't smile back. I was confused for she used to be a cheerful lady just like my dear Sam. I then asked, "Hi Jen! I guess you're surprised why I'm here. Well I just want to visit you and I was also hoping to see Sam. I kind of miss her you know. Mmm… by the way have you seen her?" All I saw was sadness in her eyes as she replied quietly "Come follow me."
I was confused with the way she's acting but still I followed her. As we were walking, I was trying to indulge her in a conversation but she just answered my question briefly. Then I realized that she was leading me to the direction of the lake. It was still the same as I left it, with the same oak tree, Sam and I used to climb up. I smiled upon remembering the kiss Sam gave me when I agreed to be her partner. It's been one of the happiest days in my life and I realized that I missed Sam more than I thought. Then Jen stopped walking and pointed to the tree. She then whispered, "There's Sam."
I looked at where she was pointing and saw a newly dug tomb with the name of the girl I ever loved. I could not believe at what I saw and desperately tried convincing myself that this is all just a nightmare and I would soon wake up. I stared at Jenny in disbelief with her eyes searching for explanations and she slowly started saying, "It has been a week since she died. She died of Leukemia, but even though she was sick, she never stopped thinking about you. It was even your name she uttered before she died. She asked us to bury her here for she always regards this place as a place of LOVE. She said that this is where she had spent the happiest days and that was when she was with you. By the way, she also asked me to give you this." She handed me a parcel and with that she left.
I slowly opened the parcel and saw that it contained the dried orchid from the corsage I gave her for our prom. Then at the bottom I saw a letter. It was dated last month. I opened it with shaking hands and started reading........
******************************
Each time, you held me close to you, was like a dream coming true, for to be close to you and feel your heart beating next to mine was like heaven. So many things I did so that you will learn to love me but I NEVER saw a hint. I did everything to please you because I love you so much that I even tried to fool myself that you're in love with me too. So many nights I've cried when I think of myself unloved by you. Well you might think that what I'm saying are lies but, I tell you, my heart speaks the truth for I cannot bear telling a lie to the one I love. I know you might be thinking of Mark; but I just did that to make you jealous, to make you see me as a young woman, capable of loving and not as the little girl you used to play with. Sometimes I imagined that you were jealous and fooled myself that it was a sign that you feel something for me too. When Mark and I broke up and I came crying, I just did that to know… how you would react and with that I'll know that you love me too. But I failed for you didn't give me any clue. When our prom night came, you just don't know how happy I was when you handed me the corsage and saying that I was the loveliest girl in the whole world. While we were dancing, I wanted so desperately to hear you say that you love me too but you NEVER did. When Mark came and pleaded me to give him a second chance, I was scared that you might see us talking. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression so I told him we would talk in the garden. There I explained to him that it's you whom I really love.
What happened next was that I found you missing and later learned that you were searching for me, I just concluded that you saw us together. The next day, I tried to explain but then you never gave me a chance to do so. You continuously avoided me and never knew how much pain I've experienced that time. I felt the world crushing on me. In our Graduation day, when I approached you, I wanted to tell you… how much I loved you but I decided that I just couldn't do it. I could not bear to hear that all you feel for me is just brotherly hand of love. For I want you to love me as a woman and not as a girl or playmate. So I just turned away and left.
Now that saying I LOVE YOU might be too late, but still I want you to know that I will always love you and my heart has always been and will be yours alone.
P.S.: Think of me sometimes... and always remember that loving you was the best thing that ever happened in my life.
I felt my tears falling as I folded the letter. I wanted to shout out to let her know that I love her, if not as much, but more than she did for me. I love her more than anything in this world. I knelt touching the soil of her grave and rain started to fall. I continued crying softly and whispered, "Oh God, send my love to heaven."
Blog/Minisite
Starting a new blog/minisite all about Sims 3! (but not lame news, unless of course that news is awesome :P) It'll have daily custom content finds, and some of my own to-be-creations too. SIMplicity anyone?
Pets and Custom Content
Many of you may have already heard, but in case you have not, the Pets expansion and patch made some changes to the game code that affect all of the custom objects (beds, tables, appliances, etc) that pets can interact with. In other words, if you get the Pets expansion and/or the most recent patch, and you use custom content, you will find a number of broken items in your game.
While the developers at TSR are working on a possible script that will address this issue, we don't know at this point if that will work. In the meantime, all of my lots will need to be tested and possibly re-built. I will do this as quickly as I can so that you can re-download a working version of these lots.

DDS or TIF?
I was a bit confused by interpretation of bitmaps in Workshop. The results wasn't enought good for me. I love tif format. The transparency is easier comprehensible then alfa channel. Try to explain to small girl what it is alfa channel. So I welcome using of tif in Workshop.
I think it is the same - tif or dds. I couldn't find any comparison of both formats on forums or documentations. The result? I realized tif or dds, both are performed the same way by Workshop.
Oct. 17th, Retro Modern Kitchen
Retro Modern Kitchen is schedule for publication on October 17, 2011. The kitchen collection includes 26 objects, a few are old favorites from Sims 2, but most are new creations. The set includes a retro styled stove and refrigerator, microwave, food processor, cabinets and counters, dining table and chair, pot rack (cloned from a smoke alarm), two sinks, and several small decorative clutter objects.
Initially, I planned to create a Victorian kitchen, but a picture of a Retro Modern Kitchen reminded me of my mom’s kitchen. Early this year my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness and required 24/7 care, during the following months, I spent many hours in her kitchen creating Sims 3 custom content on my laptop. I shared my creations with her and she was always my greatest fan. Mom passed on September 2, 2011. I’ve always found creativity an effective outlet for dealing with loss and grief. I think my mom would have liked this set and enjoyed preparing a meal in this retro modern kitchen. Bon appétit!

First set of the Art Deco project uploaded - More to come
After a long and winding road I have started to publish the Art Deco project with the first base set this week. It's a classic Art Deco style and consists of windows, doors and window trimmings.
Part 2 will be released next week and will consist of various build items to make a complete classic Art Deco look.
Part 3 and maybe part 4 will be a build set in the Streamline Moderne style. You can find these kind of buildings in the Art Deco district in Miami.
Enjoy and have fun building!
i have deleted all stuff
i have deleted all my old (and new also) creations here, because it's too ugly for me :D

Blog #6
Recently I put up a screenshot titled "Sisters". They are sims that I painstakingly put together just to see if they would turn out the way I saw them in my head. They didn't exactly, but I am still pretty pleased with the way that they look. Now if I could just find some decent long curly hair that does not stick out a foot away from the chest area... perhaps someday.:) (Because goodness knows it won't be ME who does that, no talent there.) But the hair that I found works really well for them, and that beautiful gown by Meronin is just PERFECT for them. I would love to upload them on this site, but they are not a celebrity or anything like that... they just came out of my head. However, I DID upload them to the sims3 site. So for those people who would like to own them for your own game can get them here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4710017
Make sure to actually READ the description so you know where to get the two bits of CC (Dress and Hair) so they will look like that. I am always surprised at how many people do not bother and then whine when something goes wrong.

So...
Okay...where to start. At 23 I find that I'm still quite a child. I get giddy over holidays...well one holiday and that's halloween. I've went so far as to buy my dogs costumes so they could be apart of the fun. Not like they believe it to be any fun... Speaking of dogs I never thought I would have two so soon. It's been a year since I put my big baby down and it still hurts. I remember thinking and saying that I didn't want another animal for a while because I had lost all of my little ones in a span of a year and a half. In May I went to the local animal shelter to prove a point to my boyfriend (that point was he would be able to take care of dog despite his flakey-ness) and we walked out with Indiana (well they called him Bongo but ugh) a 5 month old mutt. He was such a cute wirey little thing with big scared eyes and HUGE ears. No way I was leaving the little booger. He was the exact opposite of Rusty so I could handle having him around and to my surprise it was like having a cat instead of a dog. We noticed that Indy had soo much energy that we couldn't wind him down enough to save our lives. This meant that we should start thinking about getting another dog around his age to play with. We decided that on July 9th we would go to the Humane Society in Charlotte to find him a playmate and had pretty much settle on a 1 & 1/2 year old female pit bull terrier mix that they called Spade. Since Charlotte is about 45 minutes away from our house we called and made sure it would be okay to bring Indy to check her out with us before we fully commited to adopting her. On that day when we got there two Hispanic men were trying to give away an adorable 6 week old puppy. There wee some noticable issues with his health, but it wasn't anything we thought to be serious. They said that the Humane Society wouldn't take him (which I understood because they get their animals from animal control and other shelters) and that they were told to take him to animal control. I knew that a 6 week old puppy had a decent chance of getting adopted but he looked like a pit mix and that would decrease his chances because of the misrepresentation of the Pit Bull Terrier Breed (damn the mass media and dog fighters!!!). With a glance between us, Mike and I decided that we would take him health issues be damned. We went to get him some water from the Humane Society and were treated rather rudely while the poor thing was the focus of some insulting comments (thank goodness he couldn't understand those hateful people). We rushed to get him to a vet before they closed at 12:00 pm (it was Saturday after all) with hopes that my gut feeling was wrong. I absolutely love Lake Norman Animal Hospital because they took us without having an appointment despite the fact that we walked in 2 minutes before they were supposed to close. Maximus (yes he's named after the gladiator) proved my gut feeling correct. He was loaded with hook worms (which feed off of blood) and was deathly anemic. Plus what I thought was mange ended up being ring worm (yay me!). Now we have a wonderful 40 some pound almost 5 month old mutt running into things around the house with my tiny 18.5 lb Indiana trotting along behind him. So yeah life is life and at times surprising. I wonder if anyone would be willing to share stories of animals they adopted?This is very important!
Okay, so here's the thing. I just previewed this new Sim that I will be uploading in a matter of minutes, but I find that there's one major problem.
It says that the only expansion pack that is needed is World Adventure. PLEASE TAKE NOTE: you would need all expansion packs as well as stuff packs up till Generations for the upcoming Sim!
In fact, for TS3 work that I upload to TSR, I'd be sure to specify what EPs and SPs you need, and the version that my game was in when I crafted the work.
Hence, before you download TS3 stuff from me, do be sure to click Show Details and check through the details!
I'm feeling a bit disappointed though, because of errors like these that I can't get rid of. Trust me, because I try to never compromise integrity & honesty when it comes to work. For now, the only way to work around the problem is for me to do whatever I've mentioned in the third paragraph. So, I really hope you would co-operate with me on this one!
I'll clarify this matter with the TSR admin ASAP.
For now, I'll see you guys soon!
Regards,
Zul
