Federal Fortress

My last two Remodels of this put it over 170 download a piece (174 and 185). Those two along with Crystal Springs - 2 Summers Drive (207) are in the top three. If this one also gets around that same number of downloads I may end up doing more remodels of Federal Fortress as it appears people seem to like it.

On a side note seeing how Crystal Springs - 2 Summers Drive is my most downloaded lot I am looking at remodeling it slightly to bring it more up to date.

I need a break.

Hi, I'm not going to be around much because I need a break. I just don't really feel like doing anything at the moment because I've got alot on my mind. I'm just feeling a bit sad and worried. I have a holoday camp coming up and theres kids as young as nine there, I don't really want to people seeing my arm or my scars and I feel a bit sad, really sad. If you comment on my stuff I will get back to you in a few weeks or when ever I feel better, if you PM me or sign my geustbook I'll get back sooner, sorry about this, XOX Andi.

I've Moved!!!

Hello, all.

First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you who have downloaded my creations. It has been a great experience and period of growth as a creator here at TSR, and your downloads have helped make it all possible. Thank you very much, each of you is greatly appreciated!!!

I have decided for personal reasons, to move my future creations to Natural Sims, A COMPLETELY FREE Sims 2 site, where I am a Mod and Staff Creator. I'm not allowed to post the addy here. but you can find the addy on Google.


I will leave my website here up, so you can continue to download my creations. I will also pop in periodically to check my guestbook and comments, so feel free to continue to leave such and I will see it.

Thanks again, all of you.

A 2 week nightmare

My always faithful, gorgeous laptop failed me yesterday and I had to take him to the store to fix his issues with the monitor.

I know he'll come back all shiny and in perfect shape, but I'll miss him in these next few weeks.

Meanwhile, I won't be able to play the sims, or create anything, for that matter because I could only play it in that laptop. I still have access to the internet in this old computer, so feel free to contact me if you need anything. :)

2 Mio Downloads - A BIG Thank you!

Whow! I came home from a business travel and found 2.000.000 downloads. I had never expected I would come so far!
A very big thank you to all you lovely Simmers who encouraged me again and again.

I promised myself to stop if I ever reach 1 Mio - I thought it would need 10 years. But now I'm too much addicted to stop, I will surely go on until Sims3 comes up.

Now I take a glass of champaigne -cheerio!

Free sets

As of tomorrow, the first two sets I made for The Sims 2 will be available to download for free indefinitely. These are Embroidered camisole set and Embroidered camisoles II.





Both sets are for female adults only and are categorised as underwear. All use a standard Maxis base game mesh i.e. no mesh downloads or expansion/stuff packs required.

Teenage Mina

Yay! :) Found a site full of reproduction costume images from "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (Easily the best looking vampire film ever shot, albeit not the best-acted by a long shot...). I seem to have done most of them, but there's one more I've overlooked - Mina's aqua-blue party gown. Since I have yet to make a Victorian outfit for a teenage vampire, I'm releasing it as a teen outfit (Everyday / Formal). However, I am always happy to re-release any of my recolours for different age settings, as long as I can find a suitable mesh.

May Be Fixed

I reinstalled all of Sims 2 yesterday only hanging on to my Downloads file, my Neighborhood file and the Lot file. Today for the first time in 4 days I didn't have to reload the whole The Sims 2 file in my My Documents folder. I'm hoping that means it's fixed from whatever happened after I added Pets last week. I'll be able to get the bathroom objects and the last of the recreation objects colored. Once I know the game is fixed I'll recreate my testing folder and get them checked out and get the pictures so that I can upload and submit them.

17?

Not sure why the little archive thing is showing 17, I have 20 lots available - including the two released today.

I am finally back (I hope)

I'm sorry I haven't been around for ages. My girls kept bringing home a new cold or stomach bug at least once a week all winter, and since I still haven't got a properly working immune system, I caught each and every one of them, severely limiting my time and energy all winter.

In the middle of December my youngest daughter lost her daycare place just when I was about to start working fulltime again (the lady that looked after her suddenly decided it was too much work for her), so I spent several weeks juggling kids and job and running around trying to find a new place. We finally found one in February and fortunately she really enjoys it there, too.

Then when things finally began to settle down again, my old dinosaur of a computer, who had been failing for over a year already (and hardly let me play my game any more anyway) broke down completely. It wouldn't let me play Sims2 or log onto TSR, so I pretty much dropped off the face of the earth where the sims are concerned.

I did spend quite some time going back to Sims1, and I enjoyed myself hugely, something I didn't think possible (I had last played Sims1 just after I had first installed Sims2 to my computer).

The good news is that I finally got a new computer last week. I'm still in the process of installing software and transfering data, but Sims2 is up and running again, and I'm hoping to have some of my work-in-progress projects finished and uploaded within the next two or three weeks.

First in line is the long-promised add-on sets to Hannah's and Hester's bathrooms with a stand-alone tub, towels, curtains, new tile walls and floors and more. Hester's add-ons will also contain an alternative shower with all-green tiles (instead of the original green and pink one).

After that, I've got an outdoors set and a couple of country nurseries waiting to be finished, as well as a couple of Arizona sofa varieties. I can't give you a timeframe for those yet, but I'm determined to get back into creating enough for regular uploads.

A special thanks to everyone who has signed my guestbook and commented on my items while I was away. Since my Sims time is still rather limited I'll try to use it for creating and uploading right now, which means I probably won't get around to thanking all of you individually, but I really appreciate each and every one of them (and I have read them all).

Hoping to see you again soon, Imme
