The New TSR
Heya,
Not sure if I like this new TSR, I'm not a subscriber and for some reason when I filter the downloads to show free ones only it comes up with both free and subscriber. I'm not sure if it's just my computer but it's getting really annoying, I'm not subscribing I just want a few free downloads and when I learn to make my own I want to up load them as well.
Bye
My Sims 2 Worlds
Just a quick blog entry about the worlds I prefer to create. I'm mostly into Cashcraft's meshes and Victorian story lines. I also delve a little into historical fiction and fantasy. I've created an elf family, several Egyptian families, a Victorian boarding school, goths, Chinese aristocrats from the Tang dynasty, and crafted a story reminicent of Coppelia, one of my favorite ballets. I have one or two Vampire covens and created Vince and Howard from The Mighty Boosh, my new top fav. series.
I always like to emphasize gardens and create tons of community garden lots. It's my favorite custom content to upload. I love watching Victorian women out on a Sunday stroll amongst box hedges and carefully trained arbors.
What's next? Hm...not sure about that one. I love the idea of creating unique stories but I also want to make lasting families who enhance the community.
-
- Maybe I could do a ballet series...I love Swan Lake and Firebird. Depends on custom content
- Victorian street urchin--I'm a big 19th century history buff
- Or maybe a Victorian murder mystery!
- French Revolution? I can't get past the hair but I love Tale of Two Cities
- I'm definitely interested in creating a Roman family
- Count of Monte Cristo anyone?
- I wonder if anyone's created Sherlock Holmes content...
- Or maybe create characters from stories I've written? That would be neat to see how they interact.
Welcome and Thank you!! :)
Welcome to my little corner on TSR!!
I'm not much of a talker but, I just wanted to give a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who has downloaded my creations over the past year and of course, to those who have taken the time to post such lovely comments ... it always makes my day to know that there are simmers out there who enjoy my stuffies in their game and inspires me on to create more goodies!!
Thank you and I wish you all a fab 2009!, Donna :)
The Swing of Things
Today we were left pretty much to our devices. Time to do some serious creating? Nah! After completing my 1st architectural masterpiece I decided it was play time!
I created my 1st married sim couple and moved into a cute little starter home. Houses can now be bought either in a furnished condition or non furnished. Single sims still start out with the usual $20,000 but couples get a little bit more.
Before my sims even got into their home I got a message on screen telling me that the house was having some plumbing problems and did I want to accept the challenge of cleaning it up. I accepted the challenge which was probably not the best idea for my poor neurotic sim. Even after the mess was cleaned up and the bath and sink fixed he kept getting the urge to go back and check that everything was working ok!
It's really fun seeing how traits affect a sims personality. It really does make for a completely different game play experience. One of my sims has a childish streak and one of his favourite things to do is goof around making silly faces in the mirror. My neurotic sim is also a bit of a bookworm and loves to bore his neighbours to sleep!
sim pregnancy is also a little different. The development seems more gradual and natural. They can experience things like backache and feel the baby kick and it's neat being able to send your sim to the hospital for the birth.
Back to real life and in the afternoon was a trip to the EA store. It was like letting a child loose in a candy shop! Then it was back to the computers! I decided to quit goofing around and get back to building. Still so much to discover and so little time! tomorrow we get to learn some more build/buy mode tips and tricks. Looking forward to that!
Oh well, back the to the grindstone! tffn!
Meshes - policy / Meshe - regulamin
As you can see, I'm going to publish my first body mesh (and publish more of them - if you like them). I'd like to add few points to the main rules (read my previous post, please).
You HAVE my permission to:
- use my creations in your game, screenshots, stories, videos;
- if you want to upload a sim, you can show my creations on your models (with giving credit) but only on preview pictures (you can't include my creations with your uploaded sims);
- you may recolor my meshes, but if you want to publish your recolors, you may do it only at TSR.
You DON'T HAVE my permission to:
- show and claim my work as yours;
- upload my creations at any free or pay site;
- copy any part of my textures/meshes and paste on other textures/meshes;
- recolor my textures;
- add my creations to your uploaded sims or other uploaded files;
- publish recolors of my meshes at other (than TSR) sites;
- add my meshes to your uploaded files.
These new rules are because of stealing my work and pretending to be me at other sites. It's really cruel that people don't have respect for anything and think that they can do everything they want.
If situation changes, all pirates be punished, I will change rules about recoloring and give permission to publish them at other sites.
Thank you for your support and downloading my stuff,
Barb

Jak zauważyliście, zamierzam publikować moje własne meshe. Jeśli spodobają się Wam te prace, to powstanie ich więcej. Z tego też względu chciałabym dodać kilka punktów do istniejącego już regulaminu moich prac (przeczytajcie, proszę, poprzedni post).
UDZIELAM pozwolenia na:
- uzywanie moich plikow w grze, na fotkach z gry, simowych historyjkach, czy filmach;
- jesli chcecie opublikowac swojego sima, mozecie pokazac go/ja w moim ubranku (podajcie mnie jako autora ciuszkow), ale tylko i wylacznie na prezentacyjnej fotce. Nie zgadzam sie na zalaczanie zadnego mojego ciuszka do publikowanych simow!
- możecie recolorować moje meshe, ale jeśli chcecie je potem opublikować, to tylko na łamach strony TSR.
NIE UDZIELAM pozwolenia na:
- pokazywanie i przypisywanie sobie moich prac jako Wasze wlasne;
- publikowanie moich plikow na innych darmowych czy platnych stronach;
- kopiowanie jakichkolwiek czesci moich tekstur/meshy (ubranka) i wklejanie na inne tekstury/meshe;
- rekolorowanie moich tekstur (zmiany tonacji kolorow);
- dolaczania moich kreacji do Waszych publikowanych simow lub innych publikowanych plikow;
- publikowanie recolorów moich meshy na innych stronach niż TSR;
- dołączania moich meshy do publikowanych przez Was plików.
Tych kilka punktów powstało ze względu na wciąż istniejące kradzieże, podszywania się pode mnie na innych stronach. To naprawdę okrutne, że ludzie nie mają szacunku dla niczego i uważają, że mogą robić wszystko, co sami chcą.
Jeżeli sytuacja się zmieni, a piraci/złodzieje poniosą należytą karę, to zmienię zasady dotyczące publikowania recolorów moich meshy.
Dziękuję za dotychczasowe wsparcie i zainteresowanie moimi pracami,
Barb
My Story?
Hi everyone who is totally awsome for reading this. I just wanted to let everyone know that my third chapter of Sondra's Diary was rejected and will not be posted on this site because I explained to much or something about sex. But you can still read it here and get all the gory and sexual things that were not aloud here...though it wasn't much...I just said there was pain and blood, or something and they weren't having it. I guess it wasn't PG enough...sorry. If you want to read it andyway go here
http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/story_detail.php?asset_id=254947
Oh and please rate it high :) some dillhole rated it like one star, how rude. I always make sure to rate five because I am nice that way and want people to be happy and show me the same courtisy....I think I smelled that wrong. Oh and please sign both of my guestbooks if you have the time. If you do have time, so do I and I love meeting new people, signing guestbooks, taking polls, rating any and all things five stars or whatever. Please be nice and help me out, because I will gladly do it for you!!:)
Oh yeah and make sure you get to read the whole thing, sometimes you have to puch a show all images thing. I hope you enjoy my stories and whatnot. bye, thanks and enjoy!!:)
Happy New Year
Happy New Years you guys :)
Rather late to say so, but still. Big thanks to all the Artists I have Bookmarked, I love you guy's creations and you inspire me to -try- to make my own things.
Much thanks to Ayyuff, I have whole neighborhoods of your lovely homes
Pop&Soda Magazine
Vivian and I release a magazine today. This magazine it's about the community and their artists who make of this game more than a simple game. Check it out at http://popandsoda.net/
First Blog for 2009
H E L L O T S R ,
Wow, 2009 already! Man has the year gone fast, well here's to a year of more siming for everyone! As you can see the site has had a makeover. I personally think there is a few minor details that need to be fixed. The way we now have to upload stories, is a bit annoying, as i have already written out my story on the actual game. So now i have to either have to re-write the story, or write everything down that i had before. I really feel like the story is pretty good, i don't want to re-write it, and certainly not write it all down again. The old wizard was much more usefull and eaiser to use.
I am in the middle of making a few creations. I have started work on two hair sets which i hope to publish soon, and maybe even some residential lots. I hope that i can eventually upload my stories again, i wish the old wizard was back though.
Happy Siming TSR :)

Creator's Camp - Day 3
I want to take a minute and tell everyone that has been asking questions. I reply to them in your guestbooks. I've noticed a few of you haven't checked your guestbooks since I last posted in them. If you don't know how, look in the top menu bar and select 'Dashboard'. You will then see 'Guestbook' as one of the options below.
This morning, first thing, I had an interview with EA Games. It was fairly decent...quite a bite of hair spray, some powder on my nose, and a microphone in my shirt, and I has ready to go. It was about 30 to 40 minutes long, and hopefully I will get a link to it in a few weeks when the little reel is complete so I can see it. Estatica was on for her interview a little after mine. Later in the day, we were told our interviews were well liked. So...we may very well be in the final product. So far, I have been interviewed by Brazil, France, and now EA Games. It's kind of fun.
The food is slowly getting better. Today, we actually had Texas Food, so I was QUITE impressed. Thankful...truly thankful, actually. We're all steadily working away, and poor Padre is still creationless. Hatshepsut and Estatica and I have finished some houses, I've done quite a bit of clothing and various furniture recolors. It's very interesting the different combinations you can come up with. My house is based entirely on the the textures I used for the very first window. All the wall paper, flooring, furnishings, and decorations. It's beautiful. I did create my first Sims 3 story today...it's awful. So, don't check it out if it goes public. 8]
Hatshepsut and I were headed back to the hotel after the lab was closing down, and we saw three little bunnies hopping around the EA Campus. You've got to love bunnies. Tomorrow the TSR group is having dinner together at the Hotel Restraunt, which should prove to be interesting. We got to visit the EA Campus Store today. I bought a few games, and wanted to get some shirts...of course, they were al too big. Nothing 'petite' there. That was fun, the group of creator's basically ransacked the place, and Padre333 filled his arms with sooo much stuff everyone had to get pictures of him.
But, onto the more interesting things. As always, if you've got questions...I will try to get answers.
Answers from previous questions that I didn't have answers to previously...
The Picnic Basket is very basic. Your sims can carry it around, sit on it, and eat.
At this time, it is not possible to woohoo anywhere but the bed...including the cars.
Also at this time, you cannot recolor the cieling.
Pregnancy Outfits have a single outfit for each category. I was told that you can change the 'textures' of those clothing items, but I think my game was buggy and wouldn't let me try it.
There are 35 to 40 different food recipies.
'Call to Meals' still works and is functional.
Pregnancy is still three days, regardless of life span.
You cannot change the infant's blanket, but it is pink for girls and blue for boys.
I asked about supernatural creatures, and all I got was you can have a playable ghost with a little work and even make 'ghost babies'. These 'ghost babies' will be ghosts, but can be turned into real life sims with a little work as well.
When your expecting mother is heading to the hospital to have the baby, if you so choose, no one else will follow. She will give birth alone.
Third Day of Playing Notes
In Elders, you can select the amount of age detail (wrinkles/age spots) that you want.
Based on the personality traits of your sim that you choose, you get a set of LTW's based on them. You can pick with LTW you would like to strive for.
There are quarter squares that make it easier than ever to center everything. Meaning, your love seat can now center on the TV.
The fire alarm is lower, and I was able to hang a wall lamp above it. I am not sure that you can put wall hangings about it though.
Sims can put more than one food item on a single countertop tile.
Just because your Sim cooks themselves a plate, doesn't mean they will eat it. Some will automatically eat it, others will not.
You can donate money to different foundations based on your personality trait. This will give you good moodlets.
Old folks and extremely large sims can run.
There's a community spa where you can get a facial, manicure, pedicure, or massage.
Sims can take classes to learn skills much faster than reading or doing.
Some moodlets last days, hours, and even minutes.
Plants around town and in your home can be harvested and used to cook with.
You can choose a voice for your sim.
There are now 4 speeds of gameplay.
There's a child playground, swing, and slide.
Clutter! Need I say more?!
When you fatten up your sim, their neck and face fattens as well.
On the easel, there are three sizes of paintings.
On a computer, you can: find coupons, browse the web, play chess, play computer games, tinker, and get a job.
There is a Party Planner that allows you to set the time for your party, the location, and the dress code.
When you are socializing, there is a small pop up that tells you what the other sim is thining about your 'socializing'. You are irresistable, moving too fast, hilarious, boring, etc.
Ants can carry pieces of your food away on the picnic basket.
The more often you prepare a meal, the better it gets. Practice makes perfect.
Default CAS is a YA.
Stubble automatically comes with beards or without.
MY FAVORITE PART: You can buy a Rubber Ducky for your bathtub and bath bubbles, and have a Bubble Bath and play with the ducky. (...this is coming from an avid Rubber Ducky Collector.)
You can put any texture, anywhere, on anything.
You can choose to buy a furnished or unfurnished house.
Sims can prepare meals on the corner coutners now.
Depending on traits, sims will sing in the shower.
There are too many new interactions to name. You can discuss things your sim has done, books they have read, and movies they have seen, etc.
No more fireworks during woohoo, but falling hearts.
After my sim woohooed with the townie, she went to the bathroom, and he got on his cell phone and called someone up and was talking about my sim.
You can invite Sims to spend the night at your house.
Neat sims have the option to 'clean house' or 'clean house until pristine'.
Frugal sims can recycle.
Showers go bad and produce bad moodlets with cold water, stoves go bad and produce undercooked meals, etc.
When a sim pulls leftovers from the fridge, they only take a plate for themselves.
Preggos can visit the hospital for 'Medical Advice'.
Babies do not appear in the cars.
The Maid played with my baby while she was at my house cleaning.
Sims can hold babies and socialize.
Food can go bad in the fridge, and must be cleaned out.
Some houses have challenges when you start them. Like a broken water main where everything requiring water is shooting water out across the house.
Houses have difficulty levels based on the age and number and amount of sims living there.
Baby Sitter no longer 'tracks schedule'.
Sims can have gardens and eat the food they harvest.
That's it for tonight. Tomorrow, I will check on these things that have been asked and I don't have answers for:
Clouds, Funerals, Underwear Section, Career/LifeSpan, Job Title Limits, and Lots
