How to rent an apartment furnished

To rent an apartment furnished, you need to use the cheat:

[CTRL-SHIFT-C]
boolprop testingcheatsenabled true [ENTER]

Then choose the apartment door you want to rent, and while you click on it, press the SHIFT key. There will now be an option to rent the apartment furnished!

Remember to then reverse the cheat! if you do not, it can be harmful to your game.

[CTRL-SHIFT-C]
boolprop testingcheatsenabled false [ENTER]

Update on Me II

I wanted to let you all know that we are postponing the exploratory surgery for now. We've decided to see how much can be accomplished through physical therapy, and then if I am not 100%...then, surgery will be scheduled.

With that in mind, I am grateful. Two horrible surgery experiences after another, I was not mentally ready to undergo another. Bad luck comes in three's, and I hate to see how Surgery #3 turned out.

I really, really miss creating and my Andretti's, and I hope that soon I can have time for them again. I am off on Thursday, and as of right now...I've no plans. So, hopefully I can get something out by then. If not, I also do not work this weekend, so I will have a few hours to work then, as well.

Sunday, Lovey and I are planning to do some Metal Detecting down at the river. So, depending on how are luck is fairing, I may not be able to work on the Andretti's then, but as of right now, Thursday and 1/2 of Saturday seem to be my only time.

I want to thank all of you for your patience. You really are some great, great people. I appreciate the kindness and understanding that you all possess, and even the special one's who take time to wish me luck and pray for me...you all hold a dear spot in my heart, even though I do not always show or say it. You guys are awesome!

Ramp it up!

To help your Sims comply with accessibility legislation, watch out for modular ramps, coming soon to a minisite... just about here!

Thanks to CycloneSue for the tutorial :)

Computer going bad :(

Yup, that's true, my computer is going cuckoo! Therefore, I am currently unable to even start my sims game - and it is only the last of many problems. I've been putting off re-installing everything for a long time because it will be very time-consuming, especially putting back on all the sims EP and Stuff *faints*

I will probably do it this week, so hopefully I should be able to upload my new sets soon (I have a couple who were just waiting for me to take the screenshots! That makes me sad!) Worst case scenario, I might not upload anything for a couple of weeks; next week I need to start my studying and essays for uni's end of term, so I won't have much time for the Sims.

See you all around, and keep your fingers crossed for me! ^_^

My Name Change

In case you've not noticed, I've had the 10 dropped from my name here. Just VictoriaGrace instead of VictoriaGrace10.

November Updates!

I'm posting updates a little earlier than planned but I'm not expecting to have too many other opportunties over the next week to do it. I'm also completely bored out of my mind right now. So here we go... First, I want everyone to know that every Wednesday and Sunday I will have something up for download. I selected those days because they seem to have the least amount of uploads from other artist and so it might help me get a chance at one of the coveted featured slots on the front page. I've been very lucky to have had two sets featured so far; SS Child Sundress and Unisex SS Sweater sets. I know last month I said I wouldn't be using the regular patterns anymore but I had a little change of heart and decided to do one more set. I promise this will be the last one. Now for the new patterns. Ten only this time. This first set was a request from JLOtero (Jenna). I'm not much for request but I will take suggestions and this outfit I had planned to recolor anyway. So it all worked out in the end. This next set I decided to do because, like most of you have already noticed, there aren't many options for elders out there. That and I really couldn't pass up this very cute outfit from the Apartment Life EP. Then last but never least another jewelry set. Like all previous sets, one only requires the base game and the other requires Bon Voyage. This set is named for my niece Mary Rose. She's 21, on first impression very shy and quiet but after some time she'll talk your ears off. She is also the mother to a very cute and mischievous 21 month old little boy named Selden. On a side note of things to come... I've been working on building some lots but I won't upload any until probably December. I really want to play them to test them and I haven't had the chance yet. I don't want you guys to think I'm abandoning clothes though. I have a decent little list with about ten more outfits I have planned to recolor for all ages. Also more jewelry to come, maybe even some for the guys. I think that's about it guys and gals. Don't forget if you like what you see leave a comment or drop a line in my guestbook. Later...

Submission Troubles

I hope to get the cashcraft VintageCharm set uploaded this morning. I have tried entering all the descriptions and files only to be timed out after hitting the update button, not once, but four times! This set will publish (hopefully) on the 15th of November to coincide with cashcraft's next release of items for this set.

I've created a new moulding I am calling "OakOrnate". Please let me know if you like it and please feel free to offer suggestions for the center panel colors.

Spreading the good news

I've been away from here for a long time. Honestly, I needed to be away from any and all drama. I've learned to mesh clothing, and I did try once to submit a set of recolors of one of my meshes, only to have it turned down, because I change the name of my stuff. Whoever turned it down claimed that without the number string that Body Shop puts at the beginning of an item, it won't work. That simply isn't true. Lots of people have successfully used my clothing, with the name changes. Since I've pretty much been doing only clothing for months, I haven't had anything to submit here that they would accept.

And then my friend Frogger started to mesh objects. She does beautiful work, and I want to share it with you. I'm currently working on a recolor of one of her mesh sets to submit here. Possibly two. I know you'll like her work, too.

You probably won't see too much of me here, though, because clothing is still my favorite thing to create, especially now that I can do basic meshing. I'm still a newbie at it, but having tons of fun!

I don't know if anyone reads these things, but I thought I'd let you know, just the same. lol
