Shop Set AddOn

Working on a few more pieces to go with the High Fashion Shop Set before I move on to other things. I think this will be a small set: another clothes rack, shelving for rack, and new clutter object. I wanted to try my hand again at making a better mesh for the clothing on the rack and am fairly happy with what I've come up with. It needs to be sized bigger and the texture needs work still. I might even try to make those dresses for Sims to wear, but not making any promises ;-)

Maxis Reloaded...

Hi My Fellow Simmers!

I sometimes wonder if computers really add some extra special bonus value to our lives! We don't have problems with electricity very often but the other night I was writing an e-mail when all went black, my computer made an interesting sound and I was afraid of the worst! And I was not wrong!!

In three years this is now the third time I'm reloading Sims2 to my computer because of such major problems! I am not happy about that!

This means that my newest lot (in the picture) is gone before I could submit it. Great.

This means that all my sims are gone, generations of educated interesting charachters. Great.

This means that I have to reload about 7000 custom items that I had in my files. Great.

This means that to be able to just play I've already spent 10 hours during Christmas reloading and searching for my favourite items and I haven't finished yet. Great.

The good thing is that I already know by heart my favourite artists!!! I know where to look for! And this time I will only download TSRAA building and furnishing items to be absolutely sure I will not submit anything that I'm not allowed to! So, there may be a longer break before I submit anything. On the other hand, while the construction work in Simlington (former Pleasentview) continues I may be able to submit some new lots because I will not have my sims live in the Maxis houses:))!! I have huge amount of construction work ahead!!

Yes, what else is there in life than rebuilding the Simland????

Brs, Tiina:))

Willington Wold Castle

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and that 2009 will bring you happiness and joy!! Its been a while since I have had the time to update my blog as my life at home has been rather hectic the past 6 months or so but this does not mean that I have not been around. I try to pop into the site for a few minutes every day to read all the lovely comments you leave on my lots and I appreciate every single one of them. Although my building time has been somewhat limited lately I had a few quiet days just before and after Christmas and I have been using this time to work on 2 versions of a new lot named Willington Wold Castle. The first version is Willington Wold Ruins and shows the Castle in a state of disrepair and ruin – this version is furnished for a single sim and is still completely weather proof as all the ‘holes’ in the walls are actually Cylonesue’s amazing windows. Your sim can lead a quiet life among the ruins or work to repair the Castle to its former glory. The second version is the restored Willington Wold Castle – the new owners have rebuild the outside of the Castle and have managed to furnish the inside to be a comfortable home for a small family complete with a teen suite located in the old gatehouse. I hope you will have as much fun with this lot in your game as I had in building it. A huge big special thank you to Cyclonesue for the amazing windows and vines, Dot for the stunning stair-lights (in the restored castle) an Solfal for the bathroom set (in the ruins of the old castle) without your creations this lot would not be possible. Happy siming everyone!! Strawbz

Preview of new set

yeesh! I was so busy posting pics of my puppy I never thought to give a sneak preview of my new set. Its nothing fancy.. but i hope somebody likes it out there! Oh by the way.. this shot was taken in the diningroom of a new lot by my 10 year old Mia . Her username on here is Princess MooMoo and she is a really great aspiring builder! i loved the room so much i used it as my "studio" for the preview! Look for this lot soon .. its 167 Waterloo Road by princess MooMoo.

Some photos...

Ok ay so i am back to creating full force .. sort of ( i mean with work this week crammmed into 3 days again) Also i had an estimate for a new cleaning customer whcih made me very happy as I definately need more work! Money is tight around here right now with my hubby off work injured. Anyhoo.. I started some new beddings , got a bunch of walls to upload, and I uploaded a bluewood diningroom recolor set ( for my good friend Squeakers .. who loves blue! Hope you like it.. I will make more Denise :)). Have yet to put together the bathroom wall and floors sets - its large and I keep getting distracted with other ideas! LOL I will in the next few days as I have a couple days off due to New Years. Also iwanted to share some photos with you all of me , my kids and my pets.. and especially my beloved Puppy Reuben who is growing like a wild weed .. he is only 3 and half months old but he is gonna be HUGE! he is such a smart puppy too! this one above is a recent one of me. yes I am definately starting to look old in comparison to my wedding pic i put in ABOUT ME whcih was taken 3 years ago. this next one is of Reuben .. when he was a few weeks old: here he is yesterday .. see he is HUGE already!( not the greatest shot of my hubby .. i am sure he wouldnt like me posting this one..lol..poor guy he looks rough but thats due to the pain he has been in!) Thats it for today .. I will add more pictures in my next blog!

DSL Down

Hello all,
I just wanted to let you know that our internet has been out for a few days and our provider can't seem to fix the problem. On the bright side, when we get our internet back, my husband and I both have some residential lots that are ready to be uploaded. Sorry! Be back soon!

WE'RE BACK!!

Dreaming of a vacation...

Can't travel away just now, but I can travel to exotic places in the game! I've tried the hotels, now I'm building vacation homes for my simmies. That means I'll have to try new building styles, which is good. The brain is like a muscle in that it requires exercise in order to stay fit! Doing things you don't normally do will stimulate your mind. So I guess I'm going to get REALLY speeded before the holidays are over...

Poll - Results

First of all, thank you everyone, who participated! It helps a lot to me when deciding about what to create next. :)

RESULTS:
Question: Which set of clothing would you prefer?
Style of Kate Moss 33.75% (27)
Style of Kate Beckinsale 23.75% (19)
Style of Eva Longoria 40% (32)
Style of Nicole Richie 25% (20)
Style of Carmen Electra 11.25% (9)

So, I had a Kate Moss styled outfit before, and I'll make 2 more outfits in her style, and I think I'll make an Eva Longoria styled in the near future as most of you voted on her. ;)


A new poll is up, I hope you'll participate in this one as well! :wub:


ps: I'm working on a new lingerie set, and a set of clothing "as seen in Gossip Girl". I have already made one dress which was seen on Serena in the last episode of season 1 on her mother's wedding. That dress was just awesome!
