Teh Chunky Floor Edger

I've been back at the drawing board with the floor edge skins, working it out to make them 3d and also able to turn corners nicely. The first one, which is Victorian inspired, I think turned out nicely. I've also finished meshing and making one texture for a basic rectangular one. Just need to make more textures, probably wood and metal looking ones. After cloning a variety of objects, I have found that using curtains as the base to clone from works much better than a sculpture like I did before. One because Sims can already walk through them (so I don't have to mess with the BHAV) and two because when you place one curtain, a second automatically comes up for placement (so you don't have to go back and click the icon again and again). Oh and you can see the object in the preview icon, which I think is a major bonus. ;-) I also have several gothic doors half finished that fit in with the wallpapers I made. Yes, I am very matchy-matchy. And I haven't scaped the Gargoyle project, it has just turned out to be a rather massive puzzle project to get it right for UV mapping. J

Old Boston Lot 5

Yes, here be another one! I think this might be the last one for this series, although I do have a part of another house built. I'll see how it goes.

July Updates!

With all that has been going on personally I considered not updating for some time, if at all. Actually, I was on the verge of retiring my select artist position. After my niece passed away last Saturday, I started trying to put things into perspective and a game just wasn't topping the list. But as the days have been passing I made a decision to stick it out for the time being. I decided instead of retiring to just take a little break. I didn't want to leave you guys empty handed so I finished up some old projects and will release them for July. You guys probably won't even notice me gone, except for me not answering back to comments or emails for some time. I'll try checking in every so often though. I'm sure after a few weeks I'll be ready to start working on some more stuff. Here are the updates for July, hope everyone likes!! This is from the base game so no expansion is needed. If you notice, I changed the dress underneath, I didn't think the original was that cute so put one that was. These are the last walls I have plan to do for some time. I'm not really digging the wall and floor recolors. If I do anymore I will upload them though but I haven't fully decided.

Tips on Building a Trailer

1 Select the deck foundation, drag out the size required, either 6 or 4 tiles wide and however long you want. 2,3,4 To get rid of the columns use the swimming pool tool and the CTRL on your keyboard, drag across the offending column and release to delete it, do this with them all. 5,6 Open the cheat box and type Moveobjects on, now place the wheels under the foundation. 7,8 Place your walls and then a floor. 9,10 Select the End Roof section 01, then the centre sections along the roof, when you reach the opposite end use the End Roof section 02. 11,12, Finish with Windows and Doors.

Taking a Break

Just a quick note to say that I'm taking a break from TS2 and building. I plan to be start submitting some more lots in mid-July. I'm having a very busy, but wonderful summer. Hope all of you are having a great summer, too!

Robes, plaid and comfy

Just uploaded recolors of the bathrobe included in the Kitchen & Bath stuff pack. I particularly like the brown plaid men's robe as it reminds me of my father's robe from the early 1960s.

I also just built a mobile home...a replica of the one that we live in. Just have to get some images and then will upload it. I'd like to get some bales of straw made to put around the base of the trailer like we do to help insulate in the winter (I know, we are hillbillies!)

Also have a few ideas for athletic wear and sundresses which I may tackle this weekend.

If you have a minute, LMK what your favorite colors are in my new poll. Thanks for stopping by!

Poll Closing Tonight!

Last Chance To Vote!! Ok, I've had my poll running for quite a while now and, after a slow start, I now have quite a few results so I have decided I will close it late tonight (UK time), so if you haven't yet voted and wish to do so - DO IT NOW! BIG thanks to everybody who has voted so far and, as always, I will be taking note of your responses The Sick of Carpets Mad Dancing Cow!

Thank you!!!

Yay!! I finally got my minisite! I'd like to thank all of my friends here on TSR who helped me get it... Cinderellimouse and Cutedazy for their fun conversations, I look forward to them all the time! :) Midland_04 for his help in finding new polls and Twinkletoe for her advice on bookmarking! I'm so excited I finally got it, now I can finally show off all my creations! I'd especially like to thank all of you who have downloaded and taken the time to comment on my creations, especially SimCredible. It's these kind words of praise and encouragement that keep me motivated to make new and better things! :D

New Bathroom

I started to work on a new bathroom. Here is a little preview on a plant, which comes with it.

Rules for my creations

Well, I figured as part of my new blog I would set the rules for my creations. I only have one rule... please don't claim my stuff as your own. Other than that I don't care. If you think any of my stuff should be uploaded onto another site, please let me know and I will do it with credit to you for showing me the site. You may use any of my stuff in your lots or screenshots. I would LOVE to see pictures of my creations being used so if you wouldn't mind, feel free to send me a message in my guestbook so I can see it. :D I hope everyone enjoys my creations as much as I have enjoyed making them. If you have any requests for CC, let me know! I would love to know what people think or if they have any suggestions. My specialties so far are swimsuits, wall murals and paintings. Hopefully I'll get a bit better at some other stuff and once I feel they are good enough I will upload them here. My lots are always small, starter lots since my computer isn't fast enough to run smoothly when I use big lots. So if you have any requests for those too, again, I would love to hear it! Take care and happy simming everyone!! :D
