I finally got a new computer

I would like to thank all of you who download my creations; for all of your kind words and patience. I know it has been a while since I've uploaded consistently. This will change shortly and everything will return to normal. :)

This computer has the Vista operating system, I'm in the process of tracking down and updating several drivers for my many software programs. It has not been easy.

There are numerous ideas floating around in this head of mine. Let's hope they can be translated into some decent creations. lol

Happy simming!

HUGE Thanks to Girl-From-Mars & Tug�!

Results of the Poll & a little previeuw

Hi, all! Today I added a new Poll. The question is: For wich age would you like to see new recolours? I hope you wil vote and earn your 25 kudos! Here are the results of my last poll. Question: Do you like ingame screenshots for previeuws the best? Yes 74.36% (29) No 20.51% (8) Question: Do you like photoshopped screens for previeuws better? Yes 48.72% (19) No 43.59% (17) Question: It doesn't mather Yes 38.46% (15) No 46.15% (18) I looks like the most people do prefer ingame screens the best. I tell you for wich reason I also do like ingame screenies better to. Photoshopped screens are sometimes very amazing, artistic & very beautiful. I really like to watch them. But.. many times they do not give us a good or realistic vieuw about the downloadable creations. Afterwards there is a big chance it wil give people dissapointed feelings about the downloaded stuf, because the creation seems not to be not what the beautiful screenie promised. Therefore I like the ingame screens better. There's no Abracadabra, they show you exactely how a creation wil look in your game. So now you do have an idea about my feelings on previeuw screenies... Whats next? I'm sorry for the less updates. I did'nt create this week as much as I wanted, because there were some festive days in my country and after those days I was ill. At the moments I felt a little bit better I created something for your toddlers. Here's a previeuw for the next upcoming Hawaii themed dresses. Hope you like them.

Exams...

Hi!

During all of May I will be busy with exams and school projects. I won't be away completely, but I am sorry if I will not be able to answer to all of those who PM me or leave messages in my GB or to those who leave comments. I shall answer though as soon as I have some free time. There are a lot of creations from me that will be published though, so there is nothing to worry about. I hope you enjoy them in your game!

Have a great time!

Pool lights anyone?

I was browsing for some content here on TSR for my fianc� as he built a house yesterday. "Fences! Bathroom! Hot tub! Pool lights!" Oh, wait... pool lights. I couldn't believe it when my search for pool lights only turned up one item - and that was a recolour!
So then I thought, well why can't you just put a wall light in a pool? A lot of them look like they would probably be waterproof. So without further dithering, I present to you... pool lights!



These lights use the repository technique (thankyou MsBarrows!) to draw their textures from the matching original wall light, so if you have any recolours of the original wall light they will also appear for the pool light.
I plan to "convert" all suitable wall lights in this way (no fabric shades underwater!), and then I will continue to make my own original pool lights. So sit tight and your pools will soon have a variety of lights!

Sux Tobeyou's story

Okay. Here's the latest on Sux. I had to uninstall/reinstall my game. Still trying to get some custom content back in it. After all the aggravation of the uninstall reinstall game, turned out that the problem is my mouse! The camera mod wasn't working and since I had JUST installed Kitchen and Baths, I blamed the game (sorry precious SIMS2 game!-K lovingly strokes the jewel case trying to sooth it's hurt feelings). Anyways, I have to remember where I got Sux's neighborhood and re download that, find Sux (stored on a CD-I think) and try to find my simslice stuff that I was using to torture him with. Torture? Oops did I say that out loud? I meant to say "simslice stuff that I was using to WRITE HIS STORY with! :)

Paintings Poll Update - PLEASE READ!

Hi All, A big Thank You to everybody who has voted on my current poll :D It seems quite a few of you are ticking the 'Other' box on both options - if you do this, please could you let me know the types of paintings you would like as I'm now left guessing! - probably my fault, but I couldn't think of any other options at the time! Much appreciated & thanks in advance Mad Cow

Updated Necklaces - Binned Jewellery

Hello again, folks! Over the last month I ran a poll asking about people's preferences regarding jewellery - whether people like to have it located in the glasses catalogue or with the advent of Bon Voyage and Freetime, people would rather it move into the new jewellery catalogues. The results showed that 57% of people still prefer the traditional glasses catalogue but not far behind, 43% now like using the separate jewellery catalogue. Very useful information, to be sure.

So, the point of all this is thus: I went back and updated my necklace sets to be binned into the BV/FT jewellery categories for that 43% of people with this preference, as I'm sure very few downloaders feel confident in doing this themselves. These updates include both my male and female crop circle necklaces, my men's dogtag necklaces and my men's Nordic necklaces - one set will release each Wednesday over the following four weeks.

NOTE: Be aware - I have only updated the original base game compatible files; NOT created new files. This means that the BV/FT versions will REPLACE the base game versions so you must choose which version you wish to use.
