Swing fixed - and free for a month

Due to a problem with with a file on one of the TSR servers, some people were downloading a corrupted version of this swing which was crashing their games. This has been found and fixed, and if you were one of the unlucky ones, then you will be able to download the fixed version. The set is completely free from tomorrow (23rd July) so you won't lose out if your subscription has expired.

Download from here: Weighing Hoist Swing






How do I know if the swing is causing my crashes?
The crash occurs only when you select the game catalog's Miscellaneous/Children section (in the same place that the Maxis swing is located). If you try to select anything in this part of the catalog, the game crashes to desktop if the file you were unlucky enough to be served with the corrupted file. If you experience this crash, you need to redownload the swing.

I'm getting this crash - how can I find the swing in my Downloads folder?
The file is named 'cyclonesue_swing_weighingHoist_MESH.package'. Replace with an up-to-date version from the link above, or simply delete the swing from your Downloads folder.

Do I have to redownload the recolours too?
No, though it won't do any harm if you do by mistake. Only the mesh file was at fault.

I have always been able to use the swing - do I have to redownload?
No, if you can click on the swing in the catalog, then your version is fine. Nothing has changed with the file. I have simply reuploaded the same file to force the TSR servers to replace the corrupted version on one of our servers.

So, who sorted out your mess THIS time?!
Oh, so many to credit! Sceeters02, Figaro_black, MsBarrows, TabbyLou, swmeek, deagh - and lots of other people who willingly tested and reported a yay or nay on whether the swing caused a crash. A particularly special mention goes to MsBarrows who found the cause though. She noticed that the corrupt version was a larger file size and the internal coding was all gibberish. So if you happen to feel at all grateful for this piece of tat I made, DO please thank her for saving the day!

Why has the name changed - is this a different swing?!
No, I just got it all wrong as usual. The filename hasn't changed, so redownloading will overwrite the corrupted version properly, but I've changed its name on the screen.

Why?
Because it's not a weighing hoist. It's a crane.

So why did you call it a Weighing Hoist?
I DON'T KNOW!!!!!! Probably just to make you ask questions!

I want to rank you as the worst-ever Sims creator. How do I go about that?
Go away.

H&M Summer Style 5

This is my fifth set of re-colours of the H&M Fashion Stuff Pack meshes. This set comprises five stylish summer dresses (again, two with a retro feel) and a pair of cropped blue denim jeans worn with a pretty blue and white floral patterned tube top. I was asked to make a pink dress and I've made three, so you will have a choice!



All items are available for adult and young adult females and require the H&M Fashion Stuff Pack.

A collection file is now included with all my H&M sets and this incorporates all the H&M items I've created so far i.e. any of the items you've downloaded from my five H&M sets will show up in this H&M collection folder in your game.

Older Wall Sets

According to poll results, the majority of those who were kind enough to vote would like to see the walls that came in only white trim, to be trimmed in different types of wood tone.

For the newer sets coming out, I promise to make a seperate set of just the woods; natural, oak, and cherry. Possibly walnut, but I don't want to get too carried away and people messaging me with a lot of "WTF?" comments.

For those of you who would like to see the older sets, like my Harvest Warmth Collection, please let me know. I will do my best to redo sets that have already been released, but only if someone really wants it.

Thanks.

100,000 Downloads!!!!

I am so happy that so many people like the homes I have created. I'm honored and humbled today. TSR really is full of wonderful people!!!! Thank you again!

Well just thought i would let you know that the Santiago Lounge Collection has been published. Hope you all like it. I am currently finishing off the Santiago Dining Collection, just doing some testing first. I should get uploaded tonight. So watch out for that over the next few days.
I have also uploaded some more recolours of the Esprit Venetian Blinds, so hopefully they will be published shortly.
Once i have got this lot out the way, i might actually get around to finishing the Esprit Bedroom Collection. Here's hoping!


Take care

Simford City Villa Silvia

I've submitted today a new residential lot Villa Silvia, it is pending and I hope it'll be approved, too:)! Villa Silvia is a fully furnished lot for a family with two children. It is spacious and cozy but also very good for entertaining guests! It's also guaranteed that your sim-children will get to the private school if they live in this house! I have used a lot of custom items and I thank all the great artists who let builders like me use their creations is the lots! So thank you Cyclonesue, Lianaa, Maxoid Monkey, Sims2sisters, Spaik, Tabbylou, Windkeeper, linegud and Simtomatic Here are some pictures: Brs Tiina:)
