How to get a wheelchair into a tiny car......a MINI.

How do you get a wheelchair into a small space? My wheelchair is 23.5lbs with OUT the wheels , arm rests , or wheelchair cushion. We have a VERY small car......a MINIcooper! To make matters worse for space......we like having our music LOUD so we have a HUGE speaker. If the MINI is a rockin don't come a knockin cuz we can't hear you. :P The speaker is about 150lbs solid oak and Mike (my friend and caregiver) pushes it back a bit. Still not enough room you say? 1st off many modern wheelchairs fold MUCH smaller than they used to. This is how to fold up my chair. Pulling the string releases the back so it will fold down. Push the big button in the center of my wheel and it release the "hub" from the axle so the large bulkier wheels used to push with can be easily removed with NO tools. Once it's in pieces it can be easily placed into small trunks OR MINIcoopers. So that's how MY wheelchair folds. There are wheelchairs out there that fold up even smaller (so small it can fit in overhead compartment for carry-on luggage in most airplanes and are even lighter then mine less than 20lbs.

Leyris kitchen

Since some of you asked me to go on with the Leyris, and since I still enjoy the theme as well, I made a Leyris kitchen. Well, at least, I made the counters (with some precious help from Simaddict to get those sinks to work on them), cabinets, table, chair and clutter. I'm not ready to make stoves and fridges and stuff, will need to study a bit first to be able to make those I'm afraid. Anyway, little preview :)

The cost of building a lot.

When I finish of my lots, I'm never really happy with the total cost. I always try and make more interesting lots, that a family starting out with 20K simoleons can purchase without cheats. (I personally cheat all of the time but I recognize that most don't.)

So in order to get around the costs I do a little trick that'll bring the cost down by around 5k.

Place a sim on the lot you just created, turn off all decay and aspirations using the codes, and let him live for a year(4 seasons), and kill him off when the value of the lot stops falling.

What's sad is if you move a sim out, that means that the kitchen and bathroom fixtures will be sold off, and the price of the lot will go up. Killing the sim brings the value down about 100 simoleons, and you can delete them in build mode.

But sometimes the deleted dead sims show up on my lots, and that's why you might see an urn.

Away for 1 week

Hey,
I'm going on holiday this week. Although I won't be available, I'm going to release two new sets- new eyecolors and some clothing. I really hope that you'll enjoy them because I worked *very* hard on these, especially on the new mesh. I can't even count how many times I've fired up the game to check out that every little piece of the mesh moves correctly. I must confess that BONE ASSIGNMENTS ARE A NIGHTMARE!
Really.
Logically, I won't be able to respond to your comments right away, but I will when I come back:)

See ya!

Coming soon

New Mini-Site!

Woohoo! I finally have my own mini-site! It'll be under construction for a little bit, and I'll definitely blog again when it's finished!

My first animated object!

I went back to learning how to mesh again and this time, with the help of Spaik's tutorial and tips from sim_man123, I was able to make my first animated object!

I still can't believe this actually worked and am really excited about it, so I had to share with you guys.





Well, I'm off to do more damage! Any suggestions are appreciated :)
