Cheerio - 3 Mio Downloads!

With a glass of champaigne in my hand I thank all the nice people who liked my stuff enough to download.

This new milestone means a lot for me, I haven't had the luckiest year in my life until now. I had death, marriage, illness and tons of trouble in real life. I'm very happy my virtual life goes much better!

More pointless freebies...

I was going to cite tales about the impoverished state of the world economy as the reasons why my monthly freebies have not been available this past couple of months (after all, I wouldn't want 'free gas cylinders' tipping the balance and sending all finance markets to their final collapse), but I figured you might not believe that sort of thing, so I'll make it a little easier by explaining that the lack of freebies was due largely to my thoughtlessness (some would say due COMPLETELY to my thoughtlessness...). So, in the hope that you'd rapidly forgive my tardiness, I have released not one, but TWO diabolical and of-no-use-whatsoever sets this month (in other words, my usual fare). A nice set of newspaper stands and some gleaming decorative light switches seemed to fit the bill nicely. As usual, click the images to go to the download pages.

Naturally, there is nothing 'nice' available - just a little bit of urban decor to further spoil any not-so-nice lots you've been making (or downloading). I particularly think that my light switches will complement all that nice furniture in the Maxis Ikea 'Stuff Pack' (yes, one of those packs I'm far too mean to purchase).

Enjoy! (or not)

Neon Lights Fixed

I have written to everyone who left comments on the original set to warn that some people were receiving corrupt files which crashed their game whenever they tried to open 'wall lamps' or 'floor lamps' in their game catalog. Unfortunately, that still leaves a further 310 or so people who I can't contact because I don't know who you are, so I hope this reaches you.

If you were one of the unlucky ones, then the set has now been reuploaded and you can download it now from this link: Nevada Neon Lights. Please ensure you also download and replace the collection file as this too was corrupted.

For once, it is NOT MY FAULT! See how I make huge fanfare announcements about problems that are not my fault? In fact, I am positively basking in the glory of this not being my fault!

But all the same, I'm terribly sorry if you were unlucky enough to receive rubbish files, and I DO hope this message reaches all those of you who downloaded.

Woo-Hoo! - ONE MILLION Downloads!!

Well, what can I say except THANK YOU VERY MUCH to everyone who has made this happen! I am totally stunned that EXACTLY 7 months to the day after my first ever set was published, I've reached this amazing milestone - I never dreamed it would happen, let alone so quickly! A big thank you also to all those kind people who have left comments on my creations, or even just ticked the 'Thanks' box throughout this time - it really means a great deal to me to receive this feedback! And finally, a special thanks to my 'Herd' - for all the abuse and hassle (?!), the laughter and tears, and the support and encouragement - I couldn't have wished to have met a nicer bunch of equally (if not even insaner!) 'Mad Cows'! Ecstatically over the moon, Mad Cow!

Mira's Habily TC107

I couldn't skip TC107 - I was the one to serve the textures. As I was in a Hawaiian mood, I changed Mira's Habily set to something an European relates to Hawaii. Don't beat me, wasn't there yet - only in my dreams. Here is a draft (wall by Vitasims, painting and shoes also borrowed) I'm pretty proud of the bookshelf, it costed me a whole day! The mesh is a masterpiece and Mira seems to be the most patient person I ever met.

On a Rampage

This week I am working on some skins based on fashions from Rampage. Here are the previews...

I'm 17 today!

Hi to all of you, who ever read my blog xD

Well, wanted to say that today is a special day 'cause it's my birthday! and, as you can see, I'm 17. Yeah, already 17! Can't believe it.

And it's my 2nd B-Day when I visit TSR! I've started submitting later in October 2007, but just wanted to remind to myself the information...

So here we go) Let's celebrate!

P.S. Sorry, guys, for lack of updates - I'm too busy, but I'm working hard on new set. Hope to finish it someday! Lol))

Wish good working days to everyone.

Entirely yours,
Marina

Medieval

I have featured my medieval and some of my living in nature items on my site to make them easier for you to find. I hope I will be able to uppdate with different themes on the site regulary. Next will be Halloween!

Please Remember!

Looking at the download numbers for the MH Garden, I've noticed that the master ivy plant actually has fewer downloads than the other ivy plants. PLEASE remember to download the master ivy plant or else you'll get the blue flash of doom in the game instead of enjoying the lovely ivy texture I slaved over, okay?

All slave objects are marked with both a 'this item requires' link AND a 'get mesh at TSR' link. Please be sure you're paying attention to which items require the download of another item to function.
