Creator's Camp - Looking Back

I am home now, the flight back was less stressful and faster. We actually landed 30 minutes early. The instant I met up with Charles and Chica, we went to get some food. It was amazing...I actually ATE for the first time in a week! ...I will NEVER forgive EA for that. 8]

It is sad that I won't see any of them again unless I win the lottery and go visit their respective countries, or we all get invited to EA again. The chances of that may be very slim, I don't know. I was sickly Friday night, so I didn't get to go down and say goodbye to everyone. But, it's not like I can't talk to them. Just an odd thought...never seeing them again.

All that aside, I've been asked plenty of times what about Sims 3 am I looking forward to the most. I will certainly have to say the Create-A-Style aspect. Gone are the days of Maxis Mush invading our houses and community lots. We can now appropriately coordinate everything and fully furnish a house that has matching furniture!

I am also super excited about the personality traits. I was playing around with them on Friday and I am just so excited about the 100's of different interactions there are. I put a Hopeless Romantic/Loner with a Party Animal/Committment Issue Sim and the chemistry and interacctions there are just great. 

I'm actually headed out soon to begin looking at new computers. I know this ol' dino won't run Sims 3 as well as I want it to, so I will need to get something else. The only problem is where am I going to put it!?

Here's a few videos from the Creator's Camp posted by Mark Joshua from Brazil. Feel free to check them out, but keep in mind most of the language is Brazillian. You will see me and many other's from the camp throughout the week. I believe that he has one more video to post so check back from time to time.

Also, if any of you find pictures from the Creator's Camp on any other site, please PM me a link or site name, I would love to see them. My camera junked out the first day, so I have about 3 pictures from the event.

Beginning Modern Room Series

Hi all again,

I am going to start with my modern living series. I will include clothes, objects, sets, and hopefully a car! All of this will most likely be free for use because, hey, they're not going to make me premium any time soon. I'm just in this for the fun and giving to the community.

Anyway, if anyone would like to help me with this project, you can reply to this post or sign my guestbook. I will be posting images and more to my blog later on when I have more objects complete.

Ill be learning how to create meshes and such, so bear with me as I get started with this. Im using blender now, instead of Wings3D.

So anyway, c ya for now. Ill report back later with images.

Corrected File Now Showing

The corrected end table is now showing up in the NK Cubist Dining set.

Ordering of set items seems to not be working so my latest set starts off with the two blank walls. Again, they show up fine in v6, but not in v7. Download just fine in either one.

I will try to find some time to work on the bookcase today or tomorrow and get that out to you as well.

I spent a lot of time yesterday making collection files for myself for some of my wall and floor sets. Might release some of those collection files so you can use them too. I'm finding them quite useful!

Also spent time making screenies for kitchen supersets featuring each kitchen item all together by color for those who are particular about their color schemes. Those should come out fairly soon as well.

Need to find some time for a new poll as well, but I want to give it a few more days to make sure the poll section is working as it should.

Lots to do, so I better get to it.

Have a great day!

The Sims 3 Creators Camp

Hi all!

It's my last day in San Francisco. I'm heading back to Turkey in a couple of hours *sigh* :.{

There are many things to say about The Sims 3 but too little time to write. If you have any questions about the new CAS (Create a Sim) and Create a Style tools, just ask and I'll see if I can answer. 

Bye!

 

Building Again

It was a little bit hard to catch up with my life, but now that I've done it, I'm back to building, at least in the week-ends :D

And I also think I'll start to update this small blog just for my sims lives.

Im back!!

After staying away from the Sims for a while, because I had discovered a new game to play on, I have decided to come back to The Sims and The TSR community. One of those reasons is the feedback I get from my objects/clothing. Every time I uploaded something, I always got positive feedback on it (even though I do accept criticism). That just helps self esteem a lot. So I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who thanked me for any of my objects. I will be making more and more in the future, just as soon as I learn how to use blender. I will still be making clothes, but with more of an artsy feeling because I just got Photoshop back on my computer. If you've heard of my bedding series, I will be creating more of those too. Lets see, my to do list for today, get SimPE back, get that bedding program back, and learn how to use blender.

If you havent heard of blender, its a great tool that's free. They even made their own E-Book on how to use it, that of which, is also free.

End of the Ride

The final day at EA campus and a chance to finish off anything we might have been building/creating.  I also took the opportunity to upload a few furniture sets to the exchange and create a sim family for upload.  It was also fun to play the game a little more because I've been so busy with the building aspect of the game the gameplay side has been sadly neglected by me.

In the afternoon we all gathered together for some fun and games with a plumbob cookie decorating contest.  Sadly my efforts were somewhat pathetic to say the least but it's amazing what some people can do with a couple of cookies and a tube of icing!  Afterwards we were given the opportunity to see what everybody else had been working on throughout the week and prizes given for the best (and in some cases the most unfortunate) custom content.

Finally it was time to gather in the hotel bar for some farewell drinks with the guys from EA.  It was fun to catch up with everyone and discuss what we'd experienced through the week.

Before I sign off from the US and head back home I'd like to say a huge thank you to the guys and girls at EA for giving me this wonderful opportunity and for being so welcoming.  It's been a blast guys!  I've made some awesome friends here and would love to return again some day.  I also want to thank TSR, without you this wouldn't have happened.

Ok, mushy bit done!  Now, I'm off to do a bit of sight seeing!  See you all when I get home.

AmvE Smoked Glass Bathroom TC70

I'm working on my last AngelamvmEliza lass Bathroom. It should look moodful and luxurious with smoked glass, red metals and a velvet rug. The first result is a bit disappointing, pink was definetely not planned.

My first Blog!!!

I don't usually use or rather write blogs but recently I have been writing in place of a friend in our school website and I liked it so I thought I'd give it a shot.You may write many different things in a Blog,but I'll be using this blog to tell you about my upcoming items and of course my opinion on many different stuff,so for those few that will be reading this (I'm not one of the very popular artists but everyone can have a go at writing a blog,right?) I will be posting ideas for lots that I might upload or walls and preview images for them.This week I've been watching Katy Perry's Hot'n'Cold simlish video-WOW this song is catchy even in simlish!- and I was staring at those awesome apartments shown there for about an hour.What a waste of time someone might thing but it wasn't a waste at all!As soon as I first watched the video inspiration struck, BIG time and I thought "Hey, maybe I can recreate these Lots and upload them for the sims fans to have a piece of this video!" ,since then I made the first Lot and now I'm working on a second one.

The first one, which I have already uploaded and is now on "PENDING", is the building that is first shown that sim-Katy is living:

As I have already explained that
for the outside I used the building
in the video but the inside which took a lot of work is my desing if it wasn't I wouldn't and couldn't upload this Lot. It has three floors with one apartment on each floor.The apartments are furnished but the decoration might require a bit of your touch.The outside is a bit tweaked because well I can't copy paste things it just isn't nice,and the attached apartments on the back of the building shown in the video would need a huge Lot and,well,I think the Lot looks kinda better this way!Well when it cames out make sure to try it out it is really worth it-and I'm saying this not because it is my Lot but because I think it really is cool!It will be in the apartments section under the name:High Lane Apartments.
 

 

 

 

Well I'm also working on some walls on the moment but I think I'll first finish a different project,another building shown in the video I already talked to you about and I'm sure you've definately seen it by now.If not here is a link,(tell me what you think):

So to wrap(I have no idea how wrap is really spelled) it up see you all and if you have anything to say Guestbook me, write a comment or something,see ya!Have a nice day full of amazing experiences in and out of the sims world! 

P.S.:Sorry for any spelling mistakes!

Early anniversary present

My 14th wedding anniversary is coming up on February 14th, and my husband got me a present early. I have always wanted a china hutch, and my husband came across one today where he works at. When he saw it, he asked if he coud have it, and was told yes!!!! It matches out table perfectly, and I cried when I saw it, now we can take my mother in laws stuff out of storage, and be able to see it everyday!!!
