3 Million Downloads

Just noticed that my downloads have recently rolled over the three million mark. That's a heck of a lot of files! I'm glad that so many of you have liked my creations enough to download and use them over the several years that I've been active on TSR, and hope you continue to enjoy them.

Hello everyone. I hope to have some of my sims up for download. I have site but not in the mood to deal with html.

I have an Iranian sim named Razmeen Soroush and an Irish-American sim named Sophie Culpeper. Once they are uploaded

Twilight faces and Gossip Girl requests

This week I am working on a couple of things...1) finishing up some requested faces for Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen, and Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl and 2) faces for the cast of the movie Twilight. I am currently planning on Edward and Bella(of course), the rest of the Cullen family (Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme) and Jacob Black. Since the Cullens are vampires, their faces will be in the pale skin tone. This is the first time I've tried making pale faces, so this should be interesting.

My funny little secret revealed

Just for the heck of it i have decided to divulge a little secret i have to all of you. I do not own any photo editing programs ( though i am going to go purchase a better one) and so up until today I have been using MS Paint. LMAO- yes you read it right, the basic paint program that comes with the computer. A lady in the forums told me 2 years ago when i was looking into recoloring that i would never be able to recolor ANYTHING using MS Paint. LOL- hmmm.. I have created over 1250 items using it so far!  I do have the GIMP on my pc but i dont use it becaus ei dont really know how- i suppose i could read some tutorials they offer on their website.. but i thought i would share this cuz i think its a little comical. I do plan on investing in a better photo editing program shortly as now i have graduated to recoloring Custom meshes and well i want my creatiosn to look clearer and sharper!

Anyways off to work i go now! Happy Simming and have a great Day!

Building

People have asked where I get my inspiration for my homes...everywhere. I was playing a card game with my family, the deck of cards series of homes. My youngest is a pastry chef so Sweetheart Chocolates was a must do. The once upon a time series of homes came from a children's magazine I was looking at in the doctor's office and all the cool stuff in AL. The alphabet houses...well that's just my quirky nature. Most of all it's imagination and creativity in overdrive. :)

Keep watching for more specialty homes by Grandmajam. My current project is a Camelot series. As always enjoy.

Happy February!!!

About time I update here. ^_^ I've been preoccupied with work too much. I said to myself its the end of the Sims 2 but am happy to see that the release of Sims 3 is moved to June this year. I hardly have time to play now really and I missed the old days. What else is new? I was interviewed by Pier in Koinup and an article about how I do my Sims 2 screenshots can be read from this link.

Since there is still 4 months to enoy this game, yes, I am going to finish another music video. The concept and storyline is actually by my husband. I just am gonna translate it to Sims 2. XD Hope to finish it before Sims 3 is released. I'm so happy to find more stuff that is helpful on making realistic animations for the game and since my game suffered a meltdown last month from a corrupted NPC memory file, I'm glad to say I have tweaked my game back to that old cinematic settings I have before the meltdown.

I also found a very cool, talented, webdesigner who can finally fix/help me manage my Sims 2 story/movie site. I payed a hefty 200USdollars for it but I can't for the life of me tweak it. I'm so happy this webdesigner, and a special friend joined my team! It will be a surprise! She's well known Sims 2 figure on storytelling, photoediting ~ frankensteining, webdesign and make the awesomest CC's and hair recolors! (She did one for my simmie Kyle. ^_^) I'm really excited to work with her.

Okay, I won't bore you much! Just keeping everyone updated! Thanks always for adding me to your bookmarks, the screenshot comments and the visit! I always appreciate them. Belated Happy V-day.

Getting my legs back under me...

I've been trying to focus on enjoying life as much as possible, and as chance would have it I have started making a few things for the game as I play.  I will post some of these here at TSR, I'm sort of retired, so I will post things from time to time with no schedule and no promises.  Some of the things I am making simply aren't suitable for the general audiances of TSR, but what is suitable, I will post here.

While I'm here, a happy belated Valentine's day wish to all of you at TSR.

Affectionately yours,

Yasha
