Peony Lodges published today!
I proudly present to you Peony Lodges!
After a long pause I finally managed to come out with an apartment lot! I must say that they were worth studying a bit, I mean apartment lots! I had this great tutorial by Hatshepsut (what a difficult name to write!!) "A Guide to Apartment Building" which I actually should have mentioned in the credits of the lot. Anyway, that tutorial revealed to me so many new things to take into concideration when building an apartment. I have actually always - ever since I started to play Sims2 - dreamed of a shared lot, and now I have so much fun with this EP! I also wanted to play with the lots to really find out how they function. That, too, was essential.
Peony Lodges is ideal because there is a public building in the center of the lot. In that building your sims can practise all possible skills and they don't have to spend their simoleons to buy telescopes etc. Unless they want, of course! There is a playground for chidren and a pond. The small lodges have 1 - 3 bedrooms so there's a room for a single sim, young couple or a family with children. Or the whole family: grandparents, children, grandchildren etc. can share the same lot!! How about that?
I have tested this lot with my sims. Please let me know by PM in case there are any problems with it! My goal is to add something positive to your game, not to ruin it!!
Thank you for visting my site!! Happy simming!

Thank You.
Hello,
Just a quick thanks to all the people who have been giving me advice, Kudos, and motivation. You know who you are.
Have a wonderful day,

Visiting kangaroos - back soon.
In case you're wondering why you haven't heard anything from me for the last few weeks, it's because I've been in Australia. What a wonderful country! I had a fantastic time. I do love Scotland and it's nice to be home, but I must say it's a bit of a shock to the system returning to the sleet and gales and 5 degrees after getting accustomed to brilliant sunshine and 30 degrees plus on a daily basis. Anyway, back to the drawing board...
Tuxedo Tops

You might already have noticed that I'm a fan of tuxedo inspired clothing. My latest set comprises six tops in this style. All are available for adults and young adults. Five are base game compatible and the sixth requires University.
This will be my last new set for a while as I'm off to Australia for three weeks on 16th February.
Tuxedo Swimwear

This is a set of monochrome swimwear heavily influenced by retro glamour. I was thinking of the Silver Screen, old time Hollywood movie stars and the Bright Young Things. There are five different styles, all very elegant and understated; sexy without being too revealing.
All items are available for adults and young adults. Feet are bare. All items are base game compatible and do not require any expansion packs, stuff packs or downloaded meshes.
Debutante

My first set of 2009 comprises ten elegant formal gowns in white or ivory with contrast sashes fastened at the waist with a pretty satin rosette, which I have called Debutante. These gowns use a gorgeous mesh I've always loved from the Celebration! Stuff Pack. Some of these gowns have elegant diamanté straps while others have romantic pearl straps fastened at the back of the neck with a satin bow. Most gowns come with a bracelet to match the straps. I've also added cute bows to most of the shoes, while others have a simpler contrast stripe to match the sash. At least two of these gowns would be suitable for use as bridal gowns.
All gowns are available for adults and young adults. You will need to have Celebration! Stuff installed for the gowns to show up in your game.
I Fell Upstairs
I hope you missed me a bit. I fell up a granite stair some weeks ago - the granite was stronger than my knee. Walking and sitting was impossible for a while - I had to lay in bed or on the couch for several weeks. Now I get better and soon I'll serve some new creations. And I consider getting a laptop for the next accident...

The Leader of the Packs Poll ran between 13 April and 31 December 2008. The question posed was, "Which is your favourite Sims pack?" Thank you to the 933 people who participated. The results were as follows:
| Title | % | Votes |
| Seasons | 30.4% | 263 |
| FreeTime | 13.7% | 119 |
| Bon Voyage | 11.6% | 100 |
| Apartment Life | 9.9% | 86 |
| Nightlife | 8.4% | 73 |
| Open For Business | 7.2% | 62 |
| Makin' Magic | 5.7% | 49 |
| Pets | 5.3% | 46 |
| University | 3.5% | 30 |
| Superstar | 3.2% | 28 |
| IKEA Interior Design Stuff | 1.7% | 15 |
| Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff | 1.6% | 14 |
| H&M Fashion Stuff | 1.5% | 13 |
| Hot Date | 0.8% | 7 |
| Glamour Life Stuff | 0.7% | 6 |
| Mansion & Garden Stuff | 0.7% | 6 |

| House Party | 0.4% | 3 |

| Vacation / On Holiday | 0.2% | 2 |
| Family Fun Stuff | 0.1% | 1 |
| Celebration! Stuff | 0 | 0 |
| Festive Holiday Stuff | 0 | 0 |
As you can see, Seasons was the runaway winner overall, receiving nearly one third of the total votes cast and more than twice the votes of FreeTime, which came in second place.
Of the 24 packs available, the 3 most popular packs between them received 55.7% of the total votes cast.
83.5% of the voters chose a Sims 2 expansion pack as their favourite pack, 10.4% chose a Sims 1 pack and 6.1% chose a Sims 2 stuff pack.
Two packs, Celebration! Stuff and Festive Holiday Stuff, received no votes.
Several packs were at a disadvantage as they were only released after the poll had already begun i.e. Kitchen & Bathroom Stuff, IKEA Stuff, Apartment Life and Mansion & Garden Stuff. However, all of these packs fared relatively well - perhaps novelty value may have put them at a slight advantage compared with older packs.
Of the Sims 1 packs, Makin' Magic was the runaway favourite with 50.5% of the votes cast for the seven Sims 1 packs. Vacation was the least popular Sims 1 pack with only 2.1% of the Sims 1 votes.
Of the Sims 2 expansion packs, Seasons was the clear favourite with 33.8% of the votes cast for the eight Sims 2 expansion packs. University was the least popular Sims 2 expansion pack with only 3.9% of the Sims 2 expansion pack votes.
Of the Sims 2 stuff packs, the IKEA stuff pack was marginally the favourite with 26.3% of the votes case for the nine Sims 2 stuff packs. Celebration! Stuff and Festive Holiday Stuff were the least popular stuff packs, receiving no votes.

Recently, I was asked to re-colour gelydh's conversion of Maxis' teen jacket mesh using some of the colours from my Buckles set. I came up with six variations: four in feminine pastel shades and two chic leather jackets with contrast pockets and trim. 
These tops are very versatile. They go well with both trousers and skirts. One interesting feature is that the length of most of the tops underneath the jackets varies slightly depending what bottom half you pair them with.
These tops are available for adults and young adults and require gelydh's mesh: Converted Jean Jacket For Adult Females.
