Here we go again...

After serving about 50 people at a party, picking up plums in an orchard, babysitting 3-month-old diaper filler and enduring a 4-hour train ride back, I can finally say - I am back! I hope you all had a great summer (it might not seem like that, but mine was pretty good), and now it is time to get back to studying and free-time simming! At this point, I have to admit I made no new sets for upload, but I decided to publish three new hair meshes I have made some time ago. I did not make textures for them though, but I figured it would be better to publish them and have others give it a try than letting them be "sitting ducks" at my hard drive. I�m really looking forward to see how others interpret them and what kind of different hairstyles are going to "pop up", so get your creative juices flowing and surprise and amaze us all! As for me, I am working on some clothing sets ATM, and you will be the first ones to see them, download them and, hopefully, enjoy them.

Until then, keep simming!

A new poll!

Woot! I know how to introduce excitement!

Market testing, consumer survey, vox populi, opinion poll - whatever you want to call them, have nothing on MY sort of screamingly thrilling poll! No clipboard in sight, no promises to take 'two minutes' of your time then drag you off to imprisonment for several hours whilst asking what on earth would make you buy my stupid unwanted product. No, just a couple of REALLY EXCITING questions about lots with custom content...

I even avoided painfully personal questions for a change!

The main reason for this poll is that I have lately uploaded lots with content that traditionally won't install nicely with the default Maxis installer. If you've downloaded lots, you may have seen this already: items with bad or incorrect textures, windows with the wrong sizw window holes (wall masks) or items that have been replaced by the Maxis object that was originally cloned. Not only do I want to measure what percentage of people use Sims2Pack clean Installer, but also how you prefer your lots to be prepared if you can't use Clean Installer.

The other reason is that I'm simply nosey and like people answering my inane questions.

If you DO download my lots, then if you could spare a couple of seconds to complete the poll in the left-hand menu, that would be great!

My Second Stab!

*** Updated 9-11-2008 ***

Ok, I finished my TC 97 Raspberry Bathroom, and I got a new screenshot, but I need to upload it to my site first. So I'm just letting everyone know that it has been uploaded and I will update when it is published. I'll try to get the preview updated tonight. Hope everyone enjoys the set.

The Bathroom Set with the Second flooring



This is the Preview of the whole set.



Here is the Counter and Sink that I worked on for so long to complete this set.

I had requests to make the counter for the sink, so it is now created. Hope everyone enjoys! Download it a lot please! This one took me quite a while. :D

Mira - Mira - Mira and TC

Mira seems to hunt me with her meshes. Whenever she submits a new meshset I'm teased to recolour it. Actually I'm working on 2 Leyris bedrooms - one following TC86, the other based on (blue!!!) TC97. Here are some previews: TC97 TC86

Fair Warning

Hurricane Ike (Category 4) is headed straight for me. Should be hitting land sometime tomorrow, so if I am not around for a few days...it is most likely because we've lost power or potentially other things...

We've not been told to evacuate, but they are evacuating some parts of Houston (about an hour's drive from me). Our little town never has to go anywhere actually, but it'll hit us as a Category 4, so who knows? All we ever get is rain and flooding...maybe some wind, but nothing major. You can go to stormpulse.com and see what I'm talking about. I'm a little North of the Houston dot.

I just wanted to give you all a head's up in case I disappear for some time...

Backstreet Place and the Incredible Lie

The first lot of two, Backstreet Place is now released. The installation instructions advised using Sims2Pack Clean Installer to install the lot (and gave a link to this program). And that still applies - IF you can use Sims2Pack Clean Installer...

But what if you can't? My advice is no good at all for Mac users and anyone else who cannot use Sims2Pack Clean Installer, so I've updated the lot's installation instructions to advise on how to install if you cannot use Clean Installer (it simply means you downloading a couple of sets before installing the lot).

My apologies for my usual laziness, untruthfulness and thoughtlessness (and any other 'ness' you can think of adding to the list - like 'gorgeousness' for example...)

---

If you cannot use Sims2Pack Clean Installer then please download the following items before installing the lot:

Derelict Windows
Rowhouse Slum Windows
Industrial Strength Doors
Castle Ruins (window holes)
Low-level window vent (single item)

Note that the Castle Ruins windows and Low window vent were missing from the 'installation instructions' due to a typo (my apologies). Hopefully, the above will ensure that the lot will install with the standard Maxis installer, but if you run into any problems, be bold, risk my unchecked wrath and let me know! I might even be helpful for a change!

My Computer Died With All my Sims in it!

Last Sunday, my computer died. I was actually loading the Sims 2 when there was a power failure (for no apparent reason) and the power supply when awhole! So there goes my sweet Derbyshire, which was going so well! The early born of the second generation we all teenagers. But it's all gone.

I just ordered today a new computer, not sure when I'll get, but I'll sadly have to cope with Vista... yeurk! Any suggestions or advice?
