New Story for October

I've got a spooky story, called Delusional over at The Sim Shack if any of you are interested in checking it out! Here's a link to the story!

Be sure to register and play some games, participate in polls and challenges, too!

I'd love to see you all there. :D

Out of Soup!

Today I posted the final entry in my Soup Legacy. After three-plus years of playing them and writing about them, it's time to (finally) move on. Though I'll be easing myself into it - I'll be writing a few short stories to tie up some loose ends of the non-heir sim storylines.

And I'll be starting work on building my new play 'hood. I'm getting ambitious with it - I want to build a complete (though small!) city and associated ruralized areas for my sims to live in, and then use it as a setting for a Legacy as well as several challenges and site stories. We'll see how far I get before I decide I've bit off more then I can chew!

This also means I'll finally get back into heavy-duty creating after my more-or-less hiatus of the last few months, since for some of the things I have planned to build, I'll need to build some build-mode and furnishing sets first.

After months of trying today I have finally managed to get here.I downloaded mozilla firefox and am using it right now. I hope it lasts and I can use TSR normally like I used to. If it works I will start uploading my new creations if not I'm afraid it's the end of me on TSR

The Poll)

Hey hey!

Well, current poll is closed - I've decided (right now xD) that it's the time to do it. So this is what we have:


Did you ever downloaded my houses?
Yes! 53.93% (103)
No... 43.46% (83)

Do you usually read required EPs?..
Yes! 75.92% (145)
No... 22.51% (43)

...and Installation Instructions?
Yes! 51.31% (98)
No... 47.12% (90)

Did you ever had problems with my houses when you followed ALL the INSTRUCTIONS and have ALL required EPs?
Yes...(please PM me - I'd like to help you!!!) 5.24% (10)
No! 70.16% (134)
I didn't ever read what you wrote... 14.14% (27)

To be sincere, I'm pleased with the result that almost nobody, except 10 persons, had problems with my houses. That's sooo sooo great. Love you all. Thanks so much for taking time to take part in the poll! I'd love to make more houses for you as soon as possible.

I'm starting new poll... It's all about houses again! I'm looking for fresh ideas while waiting for new PC...

Wish you all spending good time with your family, friends, etc)

The Obsession Continues

I seem to have a thing for shelving at the moment. My current project is another set of shelves for AP that is meant to be combined with the addition of a column/pole. I want to make three styles, so because I put extra effort into my wood textures this will probably be out some time next week.

Urban Colours

I am working on some wall and floor sets in a bunch of urban theme colours. They will include stucco, paints, siding, bricks and some floor sets. I will have the remaining Urban Stucco sets uploaded tomorrow. There are 9 sets of 5 co-ordinating colours all up and priced reasonably at $0 for those sims on a tight budget.

Men are from Mars... Women are from Venus... Computers are from the deepest bowels of Hell!

Early Sunday evening... After spending all day yesterday burning files to safety on a bunch of DVD-R discs and transferring others to my tiny little 40 gig hard drive, I was ready to defrag and CHKDSK my precious external drive. It has just finished. All night long and half the morning to defrag, and from about 11:00 AM until about 5:30 (yes!) to complete CHKDSK. Whole lot of bad sectors. Something was really futzed up and I think it all started with a nasty power outage that must have zapped the drive in mid-read or something. And yes, kids, I do have my electronics plugged into a surge protector (not just a suppressor, mind, a protector). But although the hardware came through okay, apparently some of the files got corrupted. Just enough to really mess up my life over the past week.

Plus, my expensive office chair from Staples has flipped its hydraulic lid. It won't stay elevated! I sit down and gradually sink to the lowest setting, as if I were in a bog of quicksand.

Now that things have been cleaned up I can reinstall my Sims and get back to business. But not tonight. I have had all I can take of computers this weekend, and this stupid chair that won't stay at the proper height!

Time to fetch a mug of coffee with a shot of Irish and start rereading Harry Potter.

Preparing for my COMEBACK!

It's been a LONG TIME!

This week signals my final week of the first semester! And after that, I will be coming back to TSR once more! What's in store for all of you? I will be building MORE BLOCK LOTS as planned before! And not to mention that I am LOOKING FORWARD to getting my meshing skills LEVELS HIGHER! I have so much meshes in mind to do for all of you! So, you all better be ready!

Happy and Inspired,
Alyosha

Kid Bed

I am working on a kid bed kloned from an adult bed but only usable by kids to go with my retro toddler set.



I have also featured my halloween items.
