Back from vacation

I'm back from my family vacation. It was.....interesting. I'll just leave it at that because TSR is a family site.

Speaking of the TSR site, I have no idea what's going on with the layout redesign. Everything seems to be really wonky still. I From my end, a lot of the new features are either incomprehensible or aren't working.

I planned to upload the MH Kitchen this weekend, but there are still so many weird things going on with v7 that I don't know if I should wait until some of the bugs have been worked out before doing that.

Hopefully they can get things up and running so I can move forward with the MH release.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope you took a nice break during the holidays season and you are ready now for new challenges!

I wish you a happy new year, good health, a great amount of love in your life and success. May you make your dreams come true in 2009 :)

First entry...

Well, nothing new around here. I've been a little away from here, and it sees: I have practically made nothing for the sims for about one year, save for some lot which you can find at TheSimShack.com.

I've just discovered the new layout of the site, which I find amazing!! It looks more rounded, and user friendly... Still gotta go to the forums, to see if anything has changed, haha.

Like always, Good luck!! ;)

Cant upload new creations!AARRGGHH!

Okay so I am still in Gripeing mode re: the new version of TSR. I realize staff has obviously put alot of time and effort into this project and they must of had to for Sims 3. The old version wouldnt of been able to handle the amount of stuff that will come out once Sims3 is released.

However it is still sloooooow.. hard to find things...cluttered looking and a little hard on the eyes...also I cant upload anything for 2 days now. I have a new set and about 50 new objects and a new lot...when i try to submit i get the Error -Category tree failed dialog box.. even after refreshing etc. I sent a message to staff.. as this will now stop my publish dates and push them back.Perhaps I will try version 6 ( aka the old version and see if I can upload anything and then it will show up here?) We will soon see....

Another complaint: i have noticed the no# of downloads has decreased daily by almost half... yes maybe people just dont like my new stuff LOL but i think its more like people cant FIND my stuff or any stuff to download it LOL. I usually have an average of downloads i get and also comments.. and it has decreased trememdously in 2 days. I am sure it will pick up again as people figure the site out .. my concern is for downloaders who arent technically savvy being frightened by the new site... i know it was pretty daunting looking to even me at first! And my 10 yr old was like WTH? and I had to show her where stuff was!

Installation Instructions Reminder :)

Hi everyone :) With v7, the "Installation Instructions" info./popup was omitted/not carried over, so I wanted post the info. for DL my lots, here.

**The included CC is in a separate folder in the .zip file, please download the .zip file (green arrow), and extract the custom content folder to your Downloads folder, before installing the lot.** If you downloaded using the sims2pack for these lots, it may not work properly, so please redownload usin the zip option.

While it's still available, you can also use the old v6 site (http://v6.thesimsresource.com/) to download and see the Installation Instructions needed for so many downloads, including my lots.

Also the Sims2Pack Clean Installer is recommended for installing the lot sims2pack. If you don't have it already, you can download it from MTS2- http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/

January Updates!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday season! This month I don't have as many updates as I normally do. I haven't had much time to work on any sims projects. I'm having some medical issues that still haven't been resolved so the game and creating has been put to the side a little more than I had hoped.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

First up are two sets of clothing. I think these may be my last outfits. I'm really not motivated anymore when working on clothing but if something pops up that I feel I just have to recolor I will. No promises though. This is a Base Game mesh. I've made them for Boys and Girls and now they're not only in Everyday but also in Outwear. Remember for them to appear in Outwear you have to have Seasons installed.

This next set is a Seasons mesh. I made this for Adults and Elders. They appear in Outerwear only. A little side note, if you have University all of my Adult recolors will appear for Young Adults also.

Below are two jewelry sets. Each set has two versions: one for Base Game and the other for Bon Voyage. This months sets are named for my two nieces Caitlyn and Gabrielle. They are sisters and are as different as two can be. Caitlyn is a 10 year-old girly-girl and a ball of energy. Gabrielle, called Gabbi by everyone, is an 8 year-old tomboy, shy and timid. Gabbi is also my God-daughter.

This next set is my first object recolor upload. I recolored these garage doors to go with some lots I've been working on. These are recolors of Windkeeper's Flat Garage Doors and require that mesh for them to appear in game.

It's been a long time since I've uploaded walls. This set I also made to go with some of my lot projects. I will upload the wall sets as I upload the lots I used them on. These will also include collection files for those of you who like using them.

Two more lots for your sims to call home. Here is Aubrey and Georgetown Cove. *Remember to Please download the lot file as a .zip file using the Green Arrow button!*

I hope you guys enjoy what I have for this month. Hopefully, I can start working on some new stuff for next month. Take Care! -Priscilla

And in return for comeing my my page and taking part in thing; taking the poll, signing my guestbook, maybe even going to my simpage and doing the same there. I have alot of stories and sims. Anyway, in return i'll do the same for you. All you have to do is ask in your guestbook signing. "I promise."

Totally pissed off.!!!!

Grrrrr.....I am so angry at my friend!(and to think he's my bestfriend.)When we get low scores in english class...since im the leader of our group....he blames it on me.How wrong is that.And my teacher said something a whileago.That you shouldnt depend on just one person.I hope he took that in heart.He is so paranoid.(Tagalog/Filipino)Sobra siyang suplado!Nakakainis na talaga.Na buibuisit na ko sa kanya!(01-30-09)Anyway.....todays jan. 30.That happened the first day of january.Were okay now.Were friends again.But I cant help feel jealous of him with some of his other friends.I feel like he enjoys more when his with them.Well thats life to you.You can never predict whats gonna happen.

About the new version

The new version will be ok by the time ( I guess...), but my first impressions are not so good:

- I can't move the pods once I've chosen the ones that are on my site.

- I can't find the featuring tool neither in lot downloads nor in screenshots.

- If I change my profile color theme, it won't stay but returns to the default. And there are too few colors for the minisite! 

- When I tried to write a new blog, the text I wrote didn't stay but changed all the time. Really weird and very annoying. 

- My banner is gone but it doesn't matter since I will be making a new one anyway.

The overall impression of the minisite is terribly messy. The old version was a bit clumsy, but there's no way of making the new one look nice and calm and organised. Sorry to be so negative but I pay for this and I'm not happy!:(

This is a surprise...

You can imagine my surprise at finding a new format and most of my stuff missing...while I like the feel of the site, I am disappointed that changes were arbitrarily made to my personal settings/page. I had bookmarks for members who were not artists...gone. Even if the buddy list appears at some point, I have no access to that old list. And I can't find their pages either. Or my uploaded screenshots.

So not an auspicious beginning in my eyes...but I am open to giving it a shot...
