AmvE Spring Glass Bathroom

I'm working on a AngelavmEliza bathroom based on Texture Challange 90. A first impression

Server work underway

We're currently doing some work with the servers to get more servers from V6 into the V7 cluster. We're trying to affect the site as little as possible while doing this, but you may notice a few "glitches". These are temporary.

 

Hi Everyone

I have been very busy lately trying to figure out what I'm going to do with a large inventory of homes that I have been working on for Sims 2 over time. Due to the upcoming release of The Sims 3, I am curious if many people are still going to play Sims 2. I will be cutting my Signature Collection to only 4 homes. (See my upcoming edition in the pic below)

I will be still creating for the Sims 2 for anyone that is still going to play it (at least while there is still interest!)...I'll be just cutting back for now and almost all homes will be unfurnished. So I will have more time to come up with some new and great ideas for Sims 3.

 

Sneaky sneak preview of my new lots

hi all, So i have been on a bedding frenzy lately as you can see by my latest uploads.It so happens I found 2 terrific fabric websites so i have been having a great time whipping up beddings galore! LOL I have MORE coming out this week so brace yourselves! lol BUT I also want to use the fabrics for more curtains ( as I have noticed downloaders seem to be liking my Cornerstone curtain recolors :)and also for some new shower curtains for all the showers ( cheap to expensive) I have also made two new lots. I am giving the Starter Home series a rest for a while ( unless people really want me to make more.. if so just sign my GB or something and let me know!)These two new houses are pretty fancy are fully landscaped but come unfurnished. ( Again if anybody wants me to start making an unfurnished AND furnished version just let me know!) So here is a sneaky preview of my 2 lots that are presently pending approval :) let me knwo your thoughts! Feedback is alwasy welcome - whether good or bad! 211 Starwood Drive Ground floor: Second Floor: 5 Garden Grove Ground Floor: Second Floor:

TSR Madness

With all the madness of the launch of TSR v7, I've decided to hold off for a bit before releasing the Shop Set add-ons. But I have to say I'm VERY happy with how they worked out. I'm trying to make items that have as much flexibility of use as possible, without your needing a million individual items.

So in the meantime I'm going to try my hand at making the dresses on the rack into ones for your Sims to wear. Making textures for clothing isn't my forte, but I'll give it a try.

Hopefully the bugs will be ironed out soon and I'll have something for you in the next week.

New Year - New Site - My Thoughts!

Hi All!

Well, I've been checking out the new site and trying to get my minisite organised over the last couple of days - with some degree of success!  guess it's going to take a bit of getting used to, but I like the navigation tabs, and also the 'My TSR' and 'Dashboard' menus (now I've got them sussed out!). Not so sure about all the new 'pods', particularly on my minisite - I'd like to be able to re-arrange them, but there doesn't seem to be a 'move' option, or even a 'delete' option if you add one then decide you don't want it anymore - perhaps I just haven't found them yet or they'll be added later!

I like the 'Gallery' idea, although I did have a lot of issues trying to get it to work properly! I discovered that, even though it says you can add more pictures by editting it, when you actually try to do that, it comes up with error messages and won't let you add any more. It seems that you have to upload all of the pictures you want in a gallery when you first set it up - I'm hoping this will be changed so that you can add additional pictures at a later time if you so wish.  It also gives you the option of 'Add Gallery', but when I tried this, it said I already had one and couldn't have any more! I hope we can have additional galleries in the future.

Maybe I'm going blind, but the 'Feature This' option for my downloads seems to have disappeared! We have the 'Featured Items' pod, yet I can't find a way of changing or adding any of my items - has anyone found this yet? If so, please tell !

Another thing I miss is having the mini avatars shown by posts in my GB - picky I know, but I'm a visual person and it made it so much easier if you were looking for a message from a certain person, or even to see if you'd been to someone's GB to leave them a message (old age you know - memory isn't what it used to be!!).

Anyway, overall I think the site is now a lot more snazzy and brighter, and it's like with anything - the more you use it, the more familiar it becomes!

Have Fun!

Winter Wonderland

Hi everyone!

Just trying to be warm and cozy here today.  The view outside my window is that of a shaken snow globe!  It's been snowing pretty flakes of snow for about 12 hours now, and it doesn't look like I'll be able to go and do much outside at all.  (I love having these kinds of excuses to stay inside and play Sims!)  :D

I apologize ahead of time for the look of my minisite at the moment; I went nuts adding "pods" then discovered that currently the ability to move and remove them is down.  So, please bear with me.  As soon as I can fix it, I will. :)

For some reason, I've been very nostalgic lately and have been playing Sims 1.  I really really really love Makin Magic and the Sims 2 version of that (in Apartment Life) just doesn't cut it for me.  And, while we're on that topic, am I the only one who LOVES the music in Makin Magic?  I wish there were more lots in Magic Town for my Sims to live in because I love the build/buy music. :P  I need to figure out how to copy those music files and add them to my Sims 2 or something!! :D

Anyway, be safe, and have fun Simming!!

Introduction & Terms and Conditions.

Hello all! I thought I'd make use of this blog since I have it. 

 

So, I'm at that stage where I've created a heck of a lot more than i've uploaded anywhere. I'm going to work on changing that though, and thought maybe I'd add a few Terms and Conditions to save any repition. And my Terms and Conditons as of January 10, 2009 are simply...whatever. I don't need any credit, or acknowledgment. As I'm just a clothing recolorer at the moment, and a noob recolorer at best, you may do whatever you will with whatever I create. All I ask is that if you enjoy my recolors that you hit the thankyou bar! It's nice to know if someone is liking whatcha do.

Thankyou, 

-Jess

The Sims 3! Whooooooo!

I am so excited at the prospect of The upcoming Sims 3! Wow, I remember playing on Sims 1 LOL! Anyway, over Christmas I was chatting away to fellow Simmers in the Sims 3 Forums about what kind of Idea's would be great for the new expansion packs.

This is based on what I wrote.......

"I would love to see an expansion like a Zoo". Whenever I get my neices to stay over they are always talking about animals and days out. I loved all that kind of stuff when i was a kid, still do! It would be nice to be able to choose from a small selection of animals and build your own zoo to visit in one of the neighborhoods. (Some animals from the game "SimAnimals" would be good!) You could call it "Sims gone wild". You could have your photo taken, build different cages and even have a Buggy type car that you could drive through certain Animal Exibits for a closer look. There could be an Educational Centre and a look out Tower!

A Theme park would be great too. Hotdog/popcorn stands, Fair rides, and clowns etc. I have been into The Sims since The Sims 1 and I played constantly in Magic town. The Magician was great, you could preform a few tricks etc. The roller coaster was another good feature. You could select different shaped tracks, which I really enjoyed building. Apparently It was the best selling expansion pack for Sims 1, so obviously there is a market for that theme. One of the funniest features was having a black hole in your garden that you could just pop off into, to get to Magic town.

A Space/Science Fiction type one would be good too. We could have a neighborhood that was a galaxy with a planet you could visit, instead of actually being on the earth. On the load up screen you could have a picture of a rocket or spaceship. The Npc's could be Aliens. You could call it "Sims out of this world". I personally would love it, as I was a big fan of Star Wars.

Also what about a Superhero one? Could you imagine what children they would have? Mix spiderman type powers with the Hulk etc. Your Sims could be like Clarke Kent in Smallville, having to deal with all the villians in the Neighborhood.

Hows about Dreams. The expansion could be called "Fantasy Sims"? You could go to a dream realm where there is pixies, goblins and fairies. It could be like a Lord of the Rings type place that you can only access via entering "Dream Mode". There could be different options for kids like a Fairy tale theme. Medieval for male adults with knights and horses. Faires and Nymphs for Female adults. Elders could turn into water babies LOL!

What do you all think?
