AH Completed, Flowers of May Day Started...
The last three sets of the Autumn Harvest Series have been published for download. They are the Chestnut Dining Room, Bath and Bedroom. I'm sad and yet glad to let it go. There is so much more I could do for it but I know that would be overkill. Anyway, it was time for Autumn to end and Spring to begin.Yeah after all that talk of not doing a spring set I did it anyway. The Build set that I've made is under the featured items right now. It's not been submitted for approval yet but it should be in submission by next weekend.
This set is giving me headaches because I want to go all out and do different colors for the furniture etc. like I did for AH. On the other hand this series will have a lot of pieces that the AH set didn't have, including the doors and windows that I recolored for the build set. Anyway now that the first sets are in we'll see how the rest goes. Then I'll start thinking about some summer time home decor.
Oh and yes I will stop posting 3 and 4 updates a day to my blog, it's just nice to be able to do it without having to get rid of the last piece I wrote before I was really ready to.
Finished!... For Now... ;p
For the moment my mini-site is complete. I did finally go back to the TSR Basic color setting because it goes the best with my avatar picture and banner. Just in case the last blog entry I made really doesn't come through the last color I had decided on was the rosey pink which is a nice color frankly. It's just not my favorite, irregardless of the backgrounds on my Autumn Harvest previews pictures. I think for the Flowers of May Day preview picture backgrounds I'm going to set the blue I like and stick with it. I'll just change the color of the text to represent the colors of the series I'm working on. Ah I think I know what I did wrong. I'm so used to clicking the first action button at the bottom of the TSR pages to 'update' that I hit cancel instead of save. -_-;;New Mesh for Next Saturday
I've loaded a recolor set based on the mesh for the wedged pant mesh I loaded last week and a new mesh set for little girls for next Saturday. Also, the following Saturday a recolor set based on THAT mesh will be published. I bought Bon Voyage and spent some time playing it; it's pretty fun. I'll get Free Time, I'm sure. I was away from the game for so long, I didn't even know there were 2 expansions and all those Stuff packs. LOL I sure missed out!Finally, My Own Mini-site!
Well I've finally reached the point where I can have my own mini-site. I'm currently waiting on the email with instructions and thought I'd just type up this my first entry for the blog section. The poor site looks pretty sad at the moment but as soon as I get a look at the email for instructions then I'll fix it up properly. I'm really rather excited about this because now that I'm creating for Sims 2 I'm always doing little updates and stuff to talk about my new projects, what's been uploaded recently and what is about to be published for downloading. I hated having to take out old updates because then I never remembered what I'd talked about last or what I hadn't mentioned at all. So watch for changes to my page over the next few days as I get time to do things and make changes!Thatcher Cottage
Just a simple little country dwelling. I was practicing doing the barn-look roof using Nohan's great tutorial over at The Sims Crossing and I liked how the house turned out so I added all the necessary things and decided to upload it. I have been busy trying to learn how to mesh. I know it is very late in the game to start with this since Sims3 will be out in a year ... but I feel I need to at least give it one more shot. I am not quite sure if meshing agrees with me or not. Can't seem to find too many tutorials with the details I need. But I will keep at it .... Have a good week!!!
Modern Elegance
This is a new lot that I am working on, although it's filled with custom content from artists who prefer to not have their items published on "pay sites", so I don't know if I'll be submitting it or not. I would have to clean it up to "substitue" some of the things in it. It's my first attempt at an all modern lot. I've seen several modern lots and am blown away by some of them so I wanted to try my hand at one. I hope you like it.
The Unsung Creator
I've been away for a time, enjoying my site, Simaholicsrus.com, and it has really been an eye-opener! I'm truly grateful to have been given the chance to play with it (Thanks Ricci2882!), but realize it's alot of hard work running your own site.On that note, I do read the profiles of all the folks that comment on my creations. I look at their creations, if they have any, and sometimes download a thing or two. I find the neatest things that way! Because of this, I've invited a select few creators to Guest Spot on my site. Please note that I do not choose SA/FA creators (they've already got their recognition!!). I'm after the "Unsung Creators" of TSR and other sites.
Do you know of any "Unsung Creators" that may like to Guest Spot on SRU? If so, drop me a PM!
Thanks for reading, see you next time!
Requests and other matters
This week I am finishing work on some requests for some very patient people(and I thank you folks for your patience) that have been made through both the PM system here and the Skinning forum. Previews will be posted soon.As for the "other matters"...Since us Sims1 artists now share the automated submissions system with the Sims2 artists, I will be updating more frequently. I am shooting for once a week, with publish day most likely on either Friday or Saturday.
