New Minisite

Yeah, so i finally racked up enough kudos to buy a minisite! Umm, I'm still working on getting my banner all fixed up and what not. Thanks for actually reading this. You must be so bored, I know. Anyways, I hope you have an awesome day! ~Claire

Silly...

...me, for forgetting to submit the Marble Floors set and wondering why they weren't being accepted :) Unfortunately, this means that the matching floors won't be available for quite some time, so here's a little preview:

Pathlight Error

Hi all. Apparently, some downloaders of the MH Garden pathlight experienced the flashing purple texture when the light was turned 'on'. I've updated the pathlight file with the fixed version. If you experienced the flashing problem, please redownload the file. Thanks =]

Thanks a MILLION!!

(-:Hurrah!:-) Over 1 million downloads!! A huge THANK YOU to all TSR members who have visited my mini-site and downloaded my creations! You're the reason to why I keep taking time from my busy schedule to create items for the Sims 2. I wish I have given you as much joy as you have given me! Lots of kisses and hugs to all you out there! - Now I have to go and crack up a bottle of champange to celebrate this memorable occasion! -(Dancing happily away...)-

New Series : New Beach Lot : New Freebie!

Thank you to everyone! I see quite a few of you downloaded the Sommerset lot, and that makes me very happy. :) I also see that my apartments and duplexes seem to be doing well, and I sure do thank you for that!

NEW FREEBIE INFO- Oct 19 - Oct 26th
The Colton - Suburban Mod (A link will be posted for ease of downloading on the 19th. :) )

Well, some of you may have noticed that there are some subtle changes in the air...namely a return to a few Base Game Only lots. I have yet to let a month go that I didn't at least create a few of these challenging lots for those who prefer just Base Game, and this month is no exception. ;)

BRANDON VALLEY - BASE GAME LOT SET

These are being made available one at a time first, and then an entire set will be uploaded.
Set consists of:
- 2 Community Lots
- 2 Brand new lots
- Midwest Memories - Updated Cosmetically. (Which basically means I just did some redecorating, but no changes to the actual architecture or design.)
--------------------------
- No custom content at all!
- EPs: None
- You don't have to use both Community Lots as they are complete shopping experiences. Corner Drug is an all-in-one stop and is on a smaller lot. Downtown is a Medium lot and includes an EP ready bar and a lovely community park/church. Both are corner lots, please be sure to read the notes. :)
If the set goes over well, I have some ideas for some "Cracker Box" houses, and even a farm to add to it. Guess we'll have to see. :)

NEW CONTEMPORARY BEACH HOME-

This residential home has everything possible to make your stay at home the ultimate in luxury!
------------------

- 2.5 Baths
- 3 Bedroom
- Lot Size - Large Beach (5x5)
- Cost? Flipping expensive. ROFL! Over 330,000.
- Custom Content? -
Only lirunchik's "The Motion" window set, and dancbauer's "Modern Mosaic" paints/floor for the bath were used.
- EPs: Uni/NL/OFB/Seas/BV




- Amenities - Infinity pool, easy maintenance landscaping, beach, 2 car garage with vehicles/room for reward objects, indoor and outdoor verandas, open floor plan, breakfast nook and formal dining room, private bar, fireplace, mud room, all skills/alarms/phones.







Thank you for your continued support, and I sure hope that you enjoy these upcoming lots. Yes, I have plans for more duplexes and apartments, but everyone is doing them right now so I thought I'd make something different. LOL! Keep your eye on my Upcoming Releases area for more details on each lot, and to see what lots I haven't announced here. Mwahahaha! Thanks again all!

Good News

Hi everyone! thanks for the kind words and comments. I have some good news. I got my computer fixed. I am still installing all the programs and have big plans to finish CSFB in November. I do have a couple days off for my birthday and will most likely use them to finish this story up once and for all. Thanks all for being so patient!

Get Ready for Hallowe'en

Hallowe'en items for free members and subscribers!
From 18th October for 4 weeks, the "Ouch! That's Gotta Hurt!" novelty axe set will be free! It contains two meshes (axe in the back, and an axe in the head) and a recolour for each mesh. And don't worry, it won't hurt even a tiny bit!
And for the subscribers out there, keep an eye out for my new Hallowe'en items, coming up over the next couple of weeks. Here's what's coming soon to this minisite:
* A set of clothing, accessories, and a hairdo to dress your Sim up like a well known character from a videogame by Nintendo. Who could it be? Well I've already made a set that lets your female Sims dress up like that silly princess he has to rescue all the time...
* Cute costumes for toddlers. Awwwww!
* And probably more ... I don't have my list with me right now ... oops!
And don't forget, last month I published a set of mummy outfits for the Egyptian theme, which will also make some pretty spooky Hallowe'en outfits!

So get set for Hallowe'en at TSR by having a little peek in the "Hallowe'en" theme :)

Latest poll

On my latest poll I was trying to see if people would like to see different elevations on some houses that I build (won't be every house) I get the idea some people like certain styles and this way, there will be more choice or something for everyone by having 2 different elevations.
Anyway, here were the results:

Question: Would you like to see alternative elevations to my houses? (see blog entry)
Yes 79.13% (91)
No 19.13% (22)

Question: If so, What would be your first choice:
Modern/Contemporary 34.78% (40)
Mediterranean 14.78% (17)
European/Rustic 18.26% (21)
Traditional 9.57% (11)
Country 2.61% (3)
Surprise Me 16.52% (19)

Question: And your second choice:
Modern/Contemporary 17.39% (20)
Mediterranean 20% (23)
European/Rustic 18.26% (21)
Traditional 14.78% (17)
Country 6.09% (7)
Surprise Me 20% (23)

Oh Gawd! She's at it Again!

Just in case you'd thought I'd given up lot building in favour of creating rubbishy wallpapers! There's a new residential development on the way! I decided I wanted a typical modern suburban cul-de-sac in my game. Well, why settle for one house when you can have five?

Here's how it's shaping up so far:


Each home comes with it's own front and rear garden area (fully landscaped). 3 detached properties and 1 pair of semi's. There's also a children's play area/picnic area and fish pond. Reserve your viewing appointment now!
