It's a New Year

Hope that your new year is filled with wonderful surprises and plenty of success! Even though I had wanted to get back to creating I can't seem to draw away from playing World of Warcraft. It's an amazing MMO with a zany community. Which isn't to that I've given up on Sims. One day I'll get that creating bug again. Until then though it's a wild downloading spree for me! Anyways, here's to an exciting and fun-filled 2009 for all. Take care!

Prince Nuada Sim

Ok, so no one has really posted a Nuada Sim from Hellboy 2. So i compiled a list of what we can do about it!

I couldn't find anything on TSR but I did find some interesting stuff! XD

So as a base for Prince Nuada you can use this link

http://nene.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=307810 Now that's just his body since the creater sorta used Nuada as a base for her personal reasons.

For his nose scar you can use this link, but the only way you can get that scar is to install Iruka Umino.

  http://nene.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=272175  She's pretty great too.

For his skin tone, you can use Him666
http://nene.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=247426 but I'm not soo certain on this one. Because the skin looks to human.

Well tell me what you think and add more if you can. XD

And for his sister use this as a base

The New TSR

I wrote this comment in response to the developers' request for feedback on the new site:

"My first impression?  I hate it.  Sure it's shiny, but if you were aiming to make it easier for people to find things, you have failed.  It's harder than ever to locate a specific item on the front page.  Haven't you guys heard of the old saying "less is more" ?  You have so much information in such a small space, the images keep getting smaller and smaller and the numerous pods are ridiculously undersized.  Give people the option to remove the pods that they never intend to use (both on the front page and on their profile pages), and don't make it so hard to figure out how to remove them.  Accessing profile pages, forums, private messages, live chat, submission areas and the download database should only take one click.  The best websites are the ones that don't require you to spend 30 minutes looking for or doing one small thing."

Maybe I'll get used to it, but I have to say ... I'm not really happy about it. 

My Brand Sparkling New Website

Heya Simmers.

I have a shiney new website which I all want you to come visit me:D

Bye for now :D

HEY 2 TSRs!!

Sanctimonious yap - in triplicate!

Yes, my senile ramblings are appearing THREE times on my new minisite.  I don't believe anyone else has yet achieved that dubious accolade.  Therefore, I expect you think that my ego is SO huge that I want you to read what I write three times over and have been given special privileges to frame my sanctimonious yap in every available space...

Of course, that is true.  It is nothing to do with my impatient click....click..click-clickClickClickClick CLICK CLICK!!! behaviour yesterday when trying to click these pod-thingos we add to our sites...

At first, my thought was simply to walk away, whistling innocently and, when challenged about the state of my page, I would simply put on my best shocked voice and exclaim: "It wasn't me!  Oh NO!  SUCH a mess!  What HAS someone-who-is-not-me done?!!!"

But as I always do that, I guess my game would be up anyway.  So yes, I borked my site through my own usual bad temper.  Now you have to pay for it by being greeted by the messy result - in triplicate!

New TSR downloading!

Okay... I just wanted to tell every one that if you want to download any of my homes please use the GREEN arrow save it to your down loads, and take it out of the zip folder, and then turn on and off your game! Have fun with new TSR. Happy Simming!

TSR V7

I love it. It's taken me a bit to get a new minisite up and going, but I think I am happy with where I'm at right now. Of course, as time progresses and more things are made available for customizing...this whole area may change. Just remember, change is the only thing permanent.

Big speed improvement and bugs fixed

Today we made some changes that led to a very big improvement in page load times, i think you will notice the difference :).
There are still some more things we can tweak to reduce the load times even further but i believe we are on an acceptable level already.

We have also done some changes in the way ads are being loaded in an effort to improve responsiveness in IE 7, now the ads are loaded after the whole page has loaded which should help a little bit at least.

The wizard installation has been fixed today.

The Java IRC application is now working.

We have also fixed a lot of other small bugs like for example that the category tree navigation now closes the initial open node when you select another, the moving of pods on your profile page works again, links to profiles have been corrected in some places to name a few. We are working hard to fix all the bugs that we find and the ones you report.

Now with the performance issue hopefully under control we will be able to focus even more on fixing remaining bugs!

Downloads index finetuned + others

I've spent some time restructuring the downloads index with the new 2 and 3 column view. The download buttons has been merged into the box for each item, the required items info no longer hides the buttons and item info + many other smaller changes and fixes.

I've also removed some of the clutter by making all pod headers the same color (as suggested by DOT!).

For convenience sake I've also added a link to this blog from the frontpage.

Hope you like :)
