Hey! I�m finally back!

RL was keeping me busy, so I didn�t have much time for my simmies :-(
But finally eveything is getting better.

I would love to hear your requests on new CC. So just let me know, what you would like to see.

Free Set for September

Ulkrhsn Set 27 and Ulkrhsn Set 28 will be unlocked this month. I hope you all have fun with it!

I'm baaaccckkk....

Hi all! I took a break in August to spend more time in my RL garden. Now that fall is creeping up and I've bought Apartment Life, I've gotten back into Simming! I know, I know I promised rugs and they are coming...especially with AL expansion, your Sims are going to want nice throw rugs for those rented hardwood floors (I mean who wants to spend the Simoleans to put carpet into someone else's building??) So watch for rugs.

In the meantime, I've just uploaded two sets of cloths using AL meshes..a comfy, cozy tunic and pants set for the ladies and a way cool casual suit for the guys. Check 'em out!

You asked, so....

...I have done it!

MILLIONS of you asked whether lots I've featured in my latest screenshots would become available. Okay, maybe 'millions' is a slight enhancement to the reality (a small enough number to count on one hand is probably a little closer to the truth)...

Okay, two people, to be exact. But in my small, dark corner of the world, two requests in one month is like peak demand for me. Unprecedented!

Anyway, in honour of these requests, I have just uploaded two lots. They're both 'streets' (well, a motley collection of small and dilapidated buildings in need of the the tender loving care of a Sim or two). They're RESIDENTIAL lots at the moment, but you can easily convert them with the ChangeLotZoning cheat if you require a community version. If you think this is a frightful bore and you want me to upload community versions too, I will give it a go (but be warned, I haven't used this cheat since I was about four years old, and it might cause the lot to implode or something)...

I DO have a bit of a confession to make though. They weren't lots until today. I mean: the screenshots I published were deceptive - just a few random walls, not proper lots (especially in the case of the Backstreet lot). I made the screens to be the backdrop of my rotten old signs set, but then I liked the images so uploaded them. My cheating ways left me with a fair bit of building to do, but they're now fully fledged lots.

The file sizes will be a tad hefty because there is a fair amount of custom content, and they WILL need Sims2Pack Clean Installer in order to be installed properly, but I hope you enjoy them. I hope to have them slotted in the calendar within the next two weeks.

Romance

A look at my new project Im working on its called Romance. I thought this set might be good for a honeymoon suite in a hotel. Comments and suggestions welcome!! A closer look at the bedding detail.

another hurricane

So, Hanna is approaching my town (Jacksonville, FL) and will be here Thursday night/Friday Morning, they expect. Hopefully I won't lose power again. (Or more to the point, I hope I don't get hit directly with a Cat 2+ Hurricane.) Wish me and the remaining trees in my area good luck!!

Don't forget to vote on my Poll. I'm getting ready to start making custom frames for my art and I want to see what everyone is looking for.

Thanks!!

edit: well thank goodness for me, it looks like Hanna is going to miss me. Unfortunately, it's heading for South and North Carolina.

Niece's birthday

Happy birthday, Jo! New school year, and now 15!!! OMG, where does the time go?

So the doctor has put me off work for a week. I figure that's one week to make new walls and floors and try to figure out recolouring! Ugh, so far not so good. lol There are some awesome pdf files here at TSR, and I'm studiously reading and trying. Hope to soon get the hang of it and start adding more than just walls and floors here.

Hope you like the new sets that were just published the last few days. Already the leaves are changing on the trees here, and falling! 0.0!! But it puts me in a Fall state of mind. So I'm thinking my new sets will be Fall Themed. Keep an eye out for them!

Thanks everyone!

FIXES !!!!!

If for any reason any of my items need a fix or if a change has been made it will be posted here. If you have a problem with any of my creations, please check here first to see if it has already been corrected. If not...please PM me and I will see that the problem is fixed. Thanks!


Window Boxes Single Door - 9/2/08 Please re-download the single door file as a small flaw in the frame was fixed...sorry for the trouble! All the other files are fine.

Woodback Chairs - 3/6/07 Please re-download the Woodback Chairs...cushion and solid...They, for some reason...had the height of a stool and simmies sat in the air! I have fixed the problem and hope it didn't cause you tooo much trouble! Thanks...Cat

Bubble Plant Set - 7/05/07 This set has been re-submitted because the individual items were not being linked to the complete set. If you have already downloaded them you do not have to re-download as nothing in the files themselves has been changed.

French Door Bar Inset - 7-26-07 The zip on the set and single files were giving the wrong file. Please re-download them if you want this door style. Sorry about that, Very frustrating! lol

Daydreams Streetlight 8/8/07 Please re-download the Daydreams Streetlight as there was a guid conflict. The file has been updated. Thank you.

Summertime Slumps

Just wanted to say lately I've not been in a very creative mood for the basic reason that my computer doesn't respond well in this Indiana heat at this time of year.
Also this time of year almost always puts me in a creative slump too.
Summertime and simming don't usually make for good game play on my PC.
For one I don't have AC in the house and lately it's been rather warm lately also.
Once it cools down a bit I'll start creating again and playing the game also.
Also it'll come as no surprise to some people that I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Spore.
So for those of you who are faithfully visiting my mini-site looking for new stuff it may be awhile.
Thanks for visiting too and I may chance fate sometime and knock out a lot or two in the coming days!
Thanks again,
Steve
