Project Rug Set Modern 2-4

My new project, coming soon Apr 15. I hope you enjoy it. Have a nice day. Muccy:)

For those who speak Finnish....

Hi,

I just found a really good Sims2-site, where everything is in Finnish. I know only too well that trying to cope with a foreign language requires extra energy and it's very likely that misunderstandings happen. Therefore I'd like to warmly recommend www.radosims.com for those who want to know more but can't use English. Please forward this information to all who you think need it.

I can't desing enything at the moment. I have my job where temporarily I must work for two, because my collegue is absent; my paintings require a lot of my time - I have several ordes, it's nice but tough - and my baby girl will be 18 soon and I need to plan a nice party for that. I can't understand that she's all grown up, it was only yesterday when she was a sweet little girl!!! And anyway I really would like to have a computer of my own! I'm so fed up with stanting in the queue waiting for my son (15) stop playing, waiting for my daughter stop sending messages to her friends...

Life is hard, don't you think;))!

There'll be a new free starter lot soon to be downloaded. I would also like publish my community lots that look like provencial small towns, but that may take some time because of RL.

Anyway, have fun and happy simming!!!!

More Paintings Coming Soon!

Just a quick update to say that I have completed my second set of paintings - snow scenes this time (in case you need cooling down after all the 'Tropical' sunshine! ). I'm amazed at how popular my first set is - maybe not many downloads by some artist's standards, but I'm really pleased that so many people seem to like them - and a big hug and "Thank You" to those who have left comments & 'Thank Yous', it's great to get those! I've been sidelined a bit by a couple of Challenges these last few days, and I guess I'm becoming somewhat addicted to them at the moment, but I still have more creations to offer (another set was uploaded tonight, or rather I should say this morning! - just had to complete my last Challenge first!), and my new paintings will be uploaded tomorrow all being well Mad Cow

Simmer Sun Signs

My Simmer Sun Signs poll has been running since 1 Feb 2007, so, after over 14 months, I think it's probably time for a new one! Thank you to the 1694 people who participated. The question was, "What is your sun sign?" and here are the results in descending order of popularity:

Taurus 9.9%
Leo 9.43%
Virgo 8.9%
Pisces 8.84%
Cancer 8.78%
Libra 8.49%
Scorpio 8.37%
Aries 8.01%
Aquarius 7.9%
Gemini 7.84%
Capricorn 7.19%
Sagittarius 6.48%

If each sign had received an equal share of the vote that would have meant 8.33% each. At almost 10% of the vote, Taureans seem to be much more prevalent than would be expected by chance, and, at under 6.5% of the vote, there are proportionately fewer Sagittarians playing the Sims than predicted. I was hoping for an obvious ranking of signs according to element or quality, but this doesn't seem to have happened. I am not an expert in statistics or astrology, so further analysis by someone who knows about one or other - or preferably both! - would be appreciated.

I have recently installed Bon Voyage, which I think is a fantastic expansion pack. It has re-kindled my passion for The Sims, which had been waning, and I am probably more excited about The Sims now than I have been since first installing The Sims 1! This led me to wonder which are other people's favourite packs and this will be the topic of my new poll. It's a bit of an old chestnut, I know, but I'll be fascinated to see which packs come out on top - and bottom!

Beach House Lounge

A new set is due on Monday 14th April: the Beach House lounge. Consists of 13 new meshes with 3 set recolours. Most of the objects have had their container slot files modified. Container slots, for those who don't know, are the spaces on objects that are reserved for you to place functional and decorative objects. There's a TV Cabinet with 2 additional slots on top of the cabinet, plus a slot underneath the TV to place the Maxis games console. There are also shelving units with multiple slots, console tables for your living room or hallway, tallboys, coffee tables, a sideboard and a huge 3-tile dresser. Credit to Anoeska_B for her fantastic tutorial on slot files. All items in this Lounge Set are Base Game objects that are compatible with all expansion packs up to and including Bon Voyage.

Smile and ...

Pending...

Well, had a little extra time on my hands today, so I went ahead with the final decorating touches and testing. Everything worked perfectly. YAY! This lot is now pending for those who are interested. Thanks again! - Illiana

New Sets....Ideas anyway.

Okay, I have a sim called Rose, she doesn't suit any of the maxis clothing so I made my own for her, I also made a hair style and eye brows, heres a preview of the set, and I will make other ages too!

Aikea's sets

Aikea Guinea has been doing some wonderful meshes lately.... well let's be honest all Aikea's meshes are gorgeous. But I just so happen to adore her teen with sneakers sets. So I have done a huge (10!!) recolour of her teen girl set, and will do a recolour of the boy teen, shorts with sneakers set. Which I am recolouring today! hugs Nancy xx
