A view of Oman

Here a few pictures of the local wildlife and landscape in my little corner of Oman. I've been told that when it's monsoon season (Kareef) this whole landscape is transformed into a green oasis, hard to imagine I know. Sam's beach. Finally one of my neighbours.

ACCEPTING REQUESTS: Contemporary Lots

I am currently out of any creative ideas... I am taking a break from doing lot series for a while (and the next series will be BLOCKS again), so I am currently accepting LOT requests... as long as it requires Nightlife, Seasons, Bon Voyage, and Free Time! So, just reply here if you have any requests!... hehehehe...

Featured Artist Again!

Wow, I'm so honored and flattered to be welcomed back into the family! Thank you all for being so kind and I'm happy that you like my creations enough to grant me this privelage! :)
I'm working on a tricky mesh right now and hope to have it done this week. I've finally figured out how to manage it so now is just the work of putting it together.
Wish me luck!

Sneek Peek

Here is a little taste for those who like old style homes...This house will give a new meaning to comfortable living - Coming in May.

Large Lots...

Some of you may have noticed a tendency for me to build larger lots. This is not an accident. ;) I have only recently gotten a new computer for Christmas and seem to be nearly unable to create smaller ones right now. LOL! This will pass, but in the mean time it is something you should consider when downloading.

The reason I am bringing this up is that I almost always state quite clearly in the description what size lot the home will be on. If it says Large Lot, and the size I list is 5x5, believe me when I tell you that a weaker computer is going to not like it one little bit. 4x4 and smaller should be ok unless there are a lot of plants and floors...things I really don't do often anyway. I would hate for someone to download something of mine only to find out they cannot play it because it is just too big for their computer to handle.

Now, I'm not saying you cannot download anything I have. You go right on and download all you want...I LOVE knowing people love my things! I just want to be honest and fair with the downloaders. Just be aware when you reach for the download button that there is a reason TSR has lot sizes listed.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my homes! Happy downloading!

Pallet Bed Fix!

A big Thank You to MsBarrows for pointing out the mistake I made with the shadow for the pallet bed! A rather important setting in the shadow texture was incorrect and so causing a big ugly black blocky thing on walls and the floor.

This has been corrected now and I'm so sorry for making such a silly mistake! I shall be more diligent in the future with checking things before uploading.

A Problem

It may be a little while before the next set from the Flowers of May Day comes out. There are a couple of reasons but the main one is that ever since I added the Pets EP to my computer I've had to reload the "The Sims 2" document file every day just to get the game to come up. I replace the file and it loads fine. Reset the "Allow custom content" and restart, work in the game for a bit and then the next day I have to reset the folder again. I don't know what is causing the problem. I'm considering uninstalling the whole thing and starting over from scratch. I hate to do it though because I'm going to lose some hard work that way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Clothing

I took a stab this morning at recolor a dress. I know its not perfect but when its approved I would like to get your alls opinion before I start work on something else.

New Grand Child!

I haven't blogged in awhile and I thought this was news to announce, because I'm sure happy about it :) Our daughter just had her second baby.

Yep, we have a new baby boy in our family that just arrived yesterday.
He's 9 pounds 9 oz and is 22 1/12 inches long, has reddish blond hair and according to his father...has big feet. lol
He's gonna be a tall one. His dad is 6'7" and mom is pretty tall too.

Hubby and I will get to see him tonight. I'm excited!


Love & Hugs,
Me :D
