HTML Headache!!!!!!!!

Okay .. i here and now commend the staff here at TSR for the amount of time and effort they put into Version 7! I say this because i just spent 4 hours trying to deal with my crappy looking website..LOL. Whatever it looks like now WILL NOT be the end result. But since I have no HTML experience i am getting furstrated. What a pain! Its okay .. it doesnt have to be built in a day! Nor will it be! Sigh. Patience Jackie.

Its alot of learning that I must do in order to get this thing up and running. I say April 1st is a good start date... but who knows it may be sooner. i am pretty dogged determined. Besides the web tools and resources ( articles etc) that my hoster provides.. I also have been reading WebSites for Dummies...lol. ( meaning ..me!) In the end I will have learned alot and in maintaining it I will learn more.. and like I said previously.. I will know whether or not I want to do it as a career.

Well enough for tonight.. LOL.. my brain hurts! I have a Valetnines curtian set I still need to upload so i am off to do that before I hit the hay! Nite!

New story

I just made my 1st story on TSR and really excited to share it to everyone .Both parts are up of Memories to Last.I hope all of you will enjoy it n.n

I Have Given In . . .

to the Pinkness! At least for now, I've decided to be pink! I may be red or gray tomorrow, but for today I am pink. I've been trying out all the different colors at random times and have decided to go with this for a while.

My poll is getting a bit long in the tooth so I will have a new one for you before too long.

This week features the last of the sports cars and another Floppy Cushion living room.

Next week will have a Bathroom and another living room.

After that, we will have to wait and see. I may have something different for you.

Awfully busy and crazy lately, so anything is possible. Thanks for stopping by! :D

400,000 downloads!

i just want to say WOW and THANK YOU! I have reached 400 thousand downloads today! I was at 300 thousand just 3 short weeks ago! Geesh.. you all are makin me blush ..LOL.

Really Busy!!

 Hi everyone.. I am sorry if i havent been answering , writing back and creating.. I really want to , but my teacher Mr.Kelly is making us do tons of projects. So i have been trying to catch up.. Right now I   have made a house but still need to upload it.. I have a new project on any ANcient CIvilization of ur choice. I picked Ancient Egypt.. Well I have to go, byebye!

I'm back, after being hacked!!

I had some kind of serious trouble with my account and my mini-site for over a week. I just wasn't able to log in at all! While trying to get this fixed, I viewed my mini-site as a guest. To my horror, somebody had erased my presentation and written some false accusations about TSR instead! I could hardly believe my eyes. Also, my latest submission was nowhere to be found! And, despite requesting support from TSR, I didn't receive any confirmatory emails at all. It was as if my email address was gone, too!

At the end of the week I started to feel like Sandra Bullock in the film The Net. She had her identity erased by bad guys and replaced with a new one, complete with a criminal record! I really didn't know what to do or whom to turn to. If you can't log in to the site, you can't use support, send a PM, or even get in touch with anyone!

In the end, I created a new free membership account, just so that I could PM the staff about my problems. That finally helped! I received a new password, and IT WORKED!! Hallelujah!

The weird thing is, I then checked my support history, and there was none at all! As for my latest submission, it's nowhere!

Well, hopefully my existence is settled now. I'll have to make the submission again tomorrow (it's way past my bedtime right now). Keep your fingers crossed for me!

New Set Coming Soon

I am currently working on a brand new set!  It is another Maxis Match Set (I won't tell what it will match yet), but I should have it done soon.  By soon, I mean within the next few weeks, as I am working on the set a little bit at a time.  I currently have one object fully completed.  I will keep you updated on my progress on this upcoming set :-)

Hello Old Friends

I haven't been active at TSR lately, and I must say I REALLY want to change that! For what it is worth, even if I have to let some of the other things I've been into slide a bit--I want to come back to TSR and make it my "second home" like it once was!  I have really been missing it!

Sim2 online?

Now I heard they made a the sims online but recently I heard they disconnected that.So,why cant they make a sims 2 online for Pc? It would be totally awesome if we can make out sims then share them online live in the sim world.

Its official!

Happy monday! its gorgeous out today where I live .. spring is just around the corner! Finally! And funny .. as nature is being refreshed .. I too feel the same way. Along with the sunshine cmae a fresh new hope and new zeal that i have been lacking throughout this long cold winter!

So.. in my last blog i wrote of the website taking shape and form. And it is official. I registered and paid for web hosting and my domain name for my Sims site. So here is the URL.... www.mfgsims.com !! You can go check it out .. LOL.. but there is nothing there yet! Now I must put all the HTML coding together to get it up and running! I am sooooo excited! It will be alot of work but thats okay - i wanted to learn HTML anyways and my hoster has lots of free web tools and resources and tutorials to help get started! After doing my own site I will then know for sure whether i want to pursue web design and webamstering for a living! I am incredibly thankful for my husband Paul who is so supportive of me in all that i do! He realizes how much i love creating for you all ( and I also create for myself - but mostly for the public) My experience with Sims2 and TSR has brought out dormant creativity in me that i never really knew that I had. And for that i am thankful.. and I am thankful for all of you who are so faithful to download my things and leave such encouraging comments. You really have no idea how it affects me..not only does it make me smile but also pushes me to learn more , try harder, become more meticulous... all good things trust me.

I have no idea when my web site will open to the public... I am pushing for march 1 st but I am a novice so please all of you PRAY that my understnading is opened and that I will be quick to catch on!

Also whats new and exciting is that I found some terrific clothing sites and I am going to start trying to make some clothing. I have always wanted to but didnt feel very confident about it. But in the past couple of months I have begun to get better at re-coloring so I need to now try and branch out more.. custom content meshes and clothing. And then as I have mentioned before several times .. I will attempt to learn creating my own meshes.

The wonderful thing about creating is that i never run out of ideas for long.. every house I drive by gives me an idea for a lot.. ads and the Ikea flyer that comes in the mail cause me to desire to learn how to make that myself!LOL. I have sooo many ideas!And sometimes I am frustrated by my own skill limitations so theres that inner push to learn how to do more. Of course i have been over worked and stressed out and too tired to learn new things .. but I decided last night that I am going to take the imte necessary to learn.. I have to if I want to progress ahead.

So you can expect to see me grow and flourish in the next few months.. i know I can do it if I put my mind to it. I am a very determined person! And you all will be pleasantly surprised to see what I create!

As for upcoming stuff ... some new wall sets are coming out . ( i have been practicing) I have some Valentines themed beddings and curtains coming out too! As well as some other beddings with matching curtains. And two new lots.

Thats all for now folks.... have a great day!
