My First Mesh
I'm in the process of uploading my very first meshset. It isn't much, just three simple items...but it's a mesh and it works in game! I'm super excited...I have two other sets in the making, but am working out a few kinks with the help of Dgandy and BlackGarden...hopefully, I can upload those shortly, too!And There's More!
Hey! I've been through my carpet crazy phase, and now I seem to be going through a paintings phase (thanks to the fairy lovers
), so I've pretty much spent the last two days creating, packaging, previewing and testing paintings - something I'd been meaning to get around to for a long time, but never quite got there!
I enjoy the creating part of it all, I just find doing all the packaging, previews and testing rather boring and tedious - think my poor old computer feels the same, having crashed out on me three times whilst doing it all 
.
Still, I've now got six sets of paintings in hand, plus a few new walls/floors sets, and I had a go at something completely different - curtains! (Now that's got you all excited hasn't it?! - yeah, right!). Ok, it's not that special, but it's something new for me and I'm really quite proud that they've turned out still looking like curtains! 
- the first time I tried, well, I don't want to go there - let's just say complete disaster was an understatement! 
Anyway, if you're still with me(!), I just thought I'd let you know that I uploaded a new set of paintings tonight - no, not the 'Fantasy' ones! (you'll have to wait til tomorrow for them! 
- patience is a virtue, you know! - aaah, the power!!!). This time you get a collection of ....... Horses! Ok, so they haven't got a horn and they can't fly, but they are kind of sweet in their own way, and there seems to be a few people here who appear to like horses from what I've seen on my travels, so I thought I'd give it a go! 
So, any comments, suggestions, or even requests are welcome!
Mad Mad Cow! 
On vacation
Hey ya, people!Just want to say that I'm on vacation for 2 weeks, so I'll be not able to answer all your feedback, sorry. But when I'll come back, the first thing I'll do - check out TSR 'cause it's a great pleasure for me to read all your comments etc!
Thanks so much to all for that.
P.S. I hope you'll like my upcoming mesh set.
Good summer to every one, hope that you're having fun!
Hugs and kisses,
Marina
New Gothic Community Lot
Zutafen mentioned Gothic Architecture on one of my previous blog messages, and it got me to thinking...yes I know, always a dangerous thing...so I decided to give a community lot a shot. This particular lot is aimed more towards being used as a University library/bookstore and coffee shop, but might even make a great Storytelling backdrop. ;) It is in no way completed yet, but I thought enough of it was done that I could show you a few sneak peeks. -------------------------------- Here's the info on it: - EPs required - Just Uni - I am thinking of putting it into a later EP game and adding more exterior decor as Uni decor is limited, but I'll have to see about that. If I do, it will be a seperate uploaded lot so both choices will be available. - Size - LARGE! (Read: This is a big lot - 5x5. Not a laptop lot or an older computer lot.) - Purpose - This will be set up as a Park/Bookstore/Library/Museum/Coffee Shop. If I create a later EP version as well, I want to remove the Museum part and replace it with a Restaurant instead. I'll have to see. - Floors - Although there are technically 7 floors in this building, there are actually only 3 playable. Trying to play a lot with more floors than that is nigh impossible. If you want to try to add stairs to the top 2 floors, go right ahead. ;) But for my release, the top 2 floors are decorative only. - Custom Content - As you can see there is some CC here. I have used a few items from Cyclonesue's wonderful Gothic Building set, but not a lot. The file size is going to be large enough without adding more CC to it. These are the only items I have used. Everything else is Maxis only. -------------------------------- Ok...bear in mind that this is NOT a finished lot. It may be a day or so before it's done, and then the testing will begin. Mwahahaha! Hope you all like it! If it is well received I may do a series of smaller Gothic lots to create a University-type block with this lot as the centerpiece. Thanks for your continued support, and wish me luck on completing this behemoth! :D UPDATED PICS - Finished! Zutafen tested it himself! He liked it...isn't he terrific?! :D
A Little Bit About Me
So, for anyone who actually reads this blog, I thought that I would tell you a little bit about myself. It might also help you understand why there are lags between uploads sometimes. I am 21 and living in the USA. I recently graduated college with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education. This summer has been spent looking for that perfect job for next year. I have not found it yet so keep your fingers crossed. I enjoy writing stories and playing around on the computer. I didn't jump on the Sims craze when it all started happening. I saw the commercials on TV for Sims 1 and thought "Hmm...that might be kind of fun." My sister and I were always big fans of Barbies, so it makes sense that I would be drawn to the sims. I looked in stores for Sims 1 but just couldn't shell out the money. About a year after Sims 2 came out, my sister and I found The Sims Deluxe Edition on sale somewhere. We looked at it and finally broke down and bought it. Within a couple of weeks, we had bought all of the expansion packs. I was addicted. I would look at Sims 2 on the shelves and think "Eh, Sims 1 is keeping me busy and happy for now. I'll save a few bucks." However, once I started coming on thesims.com and TSR and was seeing screenshots by people from Sims 2, I got curious. I finally convinced my sister and we broke down and bought it. It wasn't long before I wanted an expansion pack. Open for Business had just come out and I knew I didn't want the newest pack until the bugs were worked out. So, I started asking on thesims2.com BBS which pack was better - University or Nightlife. I got mixed results and finally decided to just buy them in order. So, I found University at one store and found Nightlife for an extremely cheap amount at another store and ended up with both. Soon enough, I was buying Open for Business and continuing with the other expansion and stuff packs until I realized my computer was slowing down and couldn't handle any more. So, I bought more memory for my computer. Well, that was great but suddenly I didn't want my game slowing down due to more stuff and expansion packs. So, I stopped with Bon Voyage (I was already missing a few stuff packs). Now, I have a new computer and the game is running so fast that I'm super excited. I'm planning on buying Freetime sometime soon to add to my game. But for now, I'm just happy playing with what I've got. The fun comes from making stuff, telling stories, and sharing things I discover with others. As always, Happy Simming!! And what is an entry without a screenshot?
