Last Reflex Prague Hall Update

Now I'm through with the brush-up of my Prague halls. The additional paintings and curtains come tomorrow in two object sets. Here is the black hall new and old: New version: Old version:

No Submissions in three weeks

I hope to get some new walls uploaded tomorrow. I lost my work computer and three weeks of work, five sets were ready to go and now they are gone. Having to install Homecrafter again, I lost alot of already made walls. I tried to run clean installer on what was left and it can't read anything. I've decided to start from scratch. My game refuses to load even after having cleared out the cache. I checked my wall folder and half of the walls left are corrupt with long strings of numbers. On the bright side, I do have a computer, no sound yet, but I fired up paint and the new homecrafter and managed, after about ten hours, to get walls made and packaged to upload. I'm exhausted LOL. Anyone have a chocolate chip cookie?

Two Million!

I hit another milestone today and I have to stop and thank everyone who has downloaded my items and given me such positive feedback. It makes me happy that you have all enjoyed my items in your games and that you feel they make your Sims' world a little more beautiful.

I'm currently working on recoloring a set of kitchen cabinets to match my Designer Series Appliances - sets 1 and 2. I'm still debating whether or not to do the Brights series, some of those colors are just a little overwhelming in such large doses!!

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!

Finally some good news

After a beginning of 2008 I might wish on a person I hate, I was told great news by the doctor on Wednesday. My various blood tests came back with almost every thing in the places they need to be. My triglycerides are a little high and my HDL cholesterol is a little low, but for the most part everything else is "spot on".

The "ugly toe" is healing nicely, only a dark spot under the nail shows any evidence it was every mangled.

Also this week, we had the roof properly repaired and the washer and dryer replaced so I can have clean underwear on a regular basis again! WOOT!

I still do not have a system that will play The Sims 2, but I have finally agreed to let someone help me with this, so I should be creating again soon WOOHOO!

So after a horrible start, 2008 is pulling up out of the nose-dive! Alleluia!

Update

My birthday was a few days ago, and I got some really special things, one of which was a new 320GB hard drive for my computer! I haven't gotten it situated with all my favorite programs yet (like the Sims, and simpe!) but I'm working on it! So I hope to soon have some recolors to share. I am still working on learning to mesh, so I won't be sharing any new meshes for a little while yet! ;)

Kitchen Pending

The Flowers of May Day Kitchen is in the pending stage. I'm going to have to get myself in gear and get the bathroom set done. The bedroom set is done and half of the recreation set is done. I've been sidetracked lately.... I got Pets this week and I've been roleplaying at Dragon Fable during my spare free time instead of doing recolors. I'll get back on that this week though I promise. I just want to play around a bit with Pets and enjoy the addition of the animals to the game. By the way does anyone know if some one has created a Yorkshire terrier or a Pekingese for the game? Those are my two favorite breeds and neither one is even possible to make with the game creation tools. It bums me out.

Wow, a month?

Has it been a whole month since I wrote anything in here? I knew I was short on time, but usually I try to say a little something once in a while.

Anyway, things are crazy. I'm ramping up on a new job, trying to get my health under better control and in short just chewing up all my time with RL which means less time here.

Sorry, all I'll say is that I'll try to do better.

There isn't much time for meshing at the moment, so you'll have to bear with me on that front. I have some ideas, but no time to try them. Hopefully things will calm down soon. Have to wait and see.

I'm now two or three EPs and SPs behind as well.

Anyway, keep me in your thoughts and I'll try to come back as soon as I'm able. I'll still try to get you at least one thing a week.

Ask & Ye Shall Receive...

As you very well may know, my latest Poll Question was neck to neck when it came to Simmers voting for shorts and cargos this summer. With sports & swim wear coming in last. Poll Question As warm weather approaches, what clothing items are you most interested in? Swim Swear. Male & Female 18.06% (13) Summer Shorts. Male & Female 30.56% (22) Summer Cargos. Male & Female 33.33% (24) Sports Wear. Male & Female 18.06% (13) Since I love you all so dearly. >XD I've decided to go ahead and just create them all since you did take the time to vote and let me know how you felt. What I wanted to do is create them according to chronological order in which they were voted on. But since swim wear was at the bottom of the totem pole and I created that before I had enough votes; that idea is merely impossible now. Tsk Tsk... I said that to say, since everyone pretty much voted cargos & shorts, they are coming, and they are coming abundantly! hehehehe So Enjoy soon & thanks for voting, Aj�ya�

Regarding Shalimar feels at Home Kitchen

Ok folks, I just had a look at the packages of the 'Shalimar feels at Home' kitchen. Having made this kitchen two and a half years ago, it lacks my today's standards and I don't want to rerelease the old version of this kitchen. Rather I'd like to remake the whole kitchen in much better texture and mesh quality.
I hope you all agree with me since it seems so many love this kitchen and are waiting to download it. The only disadvantage is the older recolors won't work with this new version anymore. I'll see if I can come up with some recolors for the remake of this kitchen. :)

For those who don't remember or don't know the kitchen, this is what the old version looks like (diningroom part):


Depending on how much time I need to put in my school leaving examination the new kitchen will be hopefully published at the beginning of July.

Best regards,
Murano

My Bedding Tutorial

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd throw out that I made a very easy to follow bedding tutorial, in the forums section. Here's the link:
http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=353530

It's had great feedback for the ease, and clear directions... I'd hate to see it fall down in the threads, so please visit it, and post your success pictures to keep it a current thread!!

Also, you'll find all the sheets, pillows, and toppers Maxis has, so it's even more convenient!

Thanks, Tammy
