Finally

A week after I first submitted 1 Briney Drive, it's finally approved along with my remodels of EA's Federal Fortress and my A Phantasm Mansion. Look for them on Tue. (1 Briney Drive) and Wed. (FF and APM).

I have another one already on the horizon, and some more planned so stay tuned.

Guys, celebrate with me!!! I will be preparing a celebration lot once I reach the 1,000,000 mark! I am sooo excited!

Special Effects

I've started a new set for all you storytellers that will be nothing but special effects for your screen shots. So far I have two meshes done, a full body effect and an orb effect, which share several recolors. I also plan on adding a few environmental effects, things like sun rays and fog. Depending how caught up in it I get, I might even try to custom poses to go along with the effects :P

A few samples of what I have so far:










It's fairly easy to use: The actual effect is found under Decorative > Sculptures, and is considered an object, so you have to use the "moveobjects on" cheat to place it right. So far I've found that you need to place the effect first, then the sim inside it. If you do it the other way, the effect snaps into the sims hand. Also, because its an object, it can snap into slots on tables and shelves. So for example, you have a sim in a jumping pose up in the air, you can use Windkeepers Hidden Shelves to move the effect into the air.

A great site and the next lot

Real life has been quite demanding these days and I ended up catching a cold because I wasn't taking care of myself properly. The good thing about it is that I got to spend this weekend in bed and catch up with everything going on in the community.

The first thing worth mentioning is this great site called Seriously Amused Sims. It has plenty of great lots and cool custom content, so make sure you drop by and pay those talented folks a visit!

Lately I've been quiet, but now I have something new to show. I got this request the other day to build something that matched my other lots on a 5x3 lot. It had to be romantic, symmetrical and with a street in the middle. I usually just make small stuff, but this was too much fun to pass, so I decided to give it a try!





It didn't turn out the be symmetrical, as I seem to have an aversion to that sort of thing, but I think it looks romantic just the same and the main street is still there! :D

Anyway, I still don't know if I'm going to furnish it or not, but I'm planning to publish it at TSR some day during this week. :)

1 million downloads!!

Wow! When I fist started submitting I wasn't thinking that I would come this far! This truly is amazing! You guys are amazing! Thank you very much for all your support and for all the nice comments!

Retiring the Ruffles

Well, the time has come to retire the ruffles. There is no reason, just time for a change. For now, I've created a goth avatar until I figure out what I really want to put up there. I just thought this was cute. When I get time, I'll create something in game with one of my creations, I'm sure. Anyway, I just thought people might want an explaination. ;)

"But I still have to go."

I�m sorry to inform TSR users that I�m stepping down from my FA status.

I want to thank each and everyone one of you that has downloaded my work and taken the time to comment upon my creations. Every comment, PM, and guestbook signing is, and has been, greatly appreciated, and I wish you all the best of luck.

1 Briney Drive Pt 2

It has been a week since submitted. This is weird I had one submitted after, Briney Mall, and it was approved within two day. 1 Briney Drive has been pending for an entire week now. I sent an email asking about this on Wednesday and haven't heard anything about that either.

I could understand if it were rejected or approved and I didn't notice it till now or something. But to leave it pending when other lots have already been approved for several days now, I just don't understand.

New walls Dentile Scrolls at Last!

The images of the Dentile Scrolls set are compressed, when you get the walls in your game they will have no flaws. If you find any let me know, please. These were seventeen hours in the making and I'm tired.

Having fun again

Well, I must say that creating is fun again. It had gotten to be like a chore for me. I think that I don't feel so obligated to make what other people expect; instead I'm just making what I feel like.

I'm taking some classes for work and I'm working out, so I don't have a lot of extra time. BUT, I'm making sure to leave a few hours to do this every week, just because this is something that I really do enjoy. :)
