Upcoming clothing!

Some of my upcoming clothing!

OMG! I wrote a tutorial!

I actually did it! I finally sat down, and wrote out how I make new paintings.

It made perfect sense to me when I re-read it, but I guess it's up to the admins at TSR on whether or not they wish to publish it.

I know it's silly, but I'm really nervous. What if they publish it and I sound illiterate? Or maybe I'm the only one it makes sense to?

As nervous as I am about it, I hope it's published. I really want feedback on how I did.

I'm also kinda sick of having to telling people the same thing over and over again. Now I can just (hopefully) send them a link to my article.

WooHoo!

YEAH!

I sent a PM to girl from mars and one of them got approved. She probably would have done both of them... but I realized I accidentally included a bonus item with one of them! OOOPS! Now I have to go take it out and repackage the lot. Hopefully, it will get approved then.

Sensei D'Taste - Preview

If your Sims love to cook, and if they enjoy the company of cuisine minded Sims, let them explore their palettes and culinary inspirations at Sensei D'Taste. Can your Sims dazzle the judges by cooking exquisite dishes for the food contest in the two fully equipped kitchens and win first place? It will be released on 22nd March 2008. A front view preview: The lot has been completely decorated, furnished and landscaped. Around the back, there is additional seating under canopies. The community phone and bin can be found at either side of the building, tucked away in two small alleys. A ground floor preview: Leading off from the spacious main dining area are two raised kitchens that have been fully equipped, and two raised seating areas where your Sims can relax between contests, or socialise with other cuisine minded Sims. A food contest table is near the front entrance, and there is a men's and a women's restroom either side of the two lifts. An upper floor preview: At the front of the upper floor is a veranda seating area, and off to the sides is two more seating areas. There is a small library and TV area. Uni Sims can study in these areas and gain skill points when visiting this lot. Also there is a men's and women's toilets, and a bedroom and bathroom where Sims can relax. If you place this lot in a University neighbourhood, your student Sims can gain study points if they cook, watch TV, or study in the library area whilst visiting the lot. There is no custom content or hacks included. It was made with all of the expansion packs installed, but no stuff packs. It has been thoroughly tested in game.

I have almost finished making my last 3 Teen Sets for Adults. Just finishing off the tops. I'm going to make some more clothing for Teens and Adults. Might work on some more hair too and ages ago i was going to make some more accessories so i might get stuck into that.

Anyway this is getting a little long - think i'll stop now. Again everyone have a wonderful Easter and i hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of Eggs!

Take Care,

Exams :(

I won't update for 2 weeks because I have got a lot of exams :( , but I'll return with my set Maleness Version 2 with outerwear :). Regards , Francisco ^_^

Whew!! BreakTime

Well, YES, I will be doing the FreeTime Nursery items in the MM woods just a soon as I can find a suitable way to do the Bedding, skirting fabrics etc. I will also be doing all the new appliances in MM colors. Still working on other MM & SM requests in between. Lots more coming. Took a little break the past few days to give my wrists and ankles rest. They swell you know and then they hurt. Enough pity party.

I just LOVE and APPRECIATE all the comments and requests and support of all my old and new fans. Keep On Simmin'! & Enjoy!

Easter Vacation

This year I'm taking a few days to visit Spain, and I don't intend to bring the laptop with me, so I'll be quiet for a few days. Some of my lots will be published next week, so if you have any questions just send me a PM and I'll make sure to give you an answer after I get back.

Happy Easter everyone! :)

More Lots Under Construction...

Hi!

Thanks to all who have aswered to the poll so far! I already see, what things are important and what less important! It will be so interesting to see (after a month or so), what the results will be. I will use the information so that I could build lots that meet your sims' needs!

I have new plans for the Rue d'Arles Collection of Houses, and I will submit both furnished and unfurnished versions, if possible. I have ideas concerning the Free Time EP - houses designed for certain hobbies and interests. I'd also like to furnish with custom TSRAA items, because that allows me to use color themes. I am sorry to say that Maxis basic game content does not quite offer that many possibilities.

I also got valuable advise from izazu and ladylombardi! That makes it possible to decorate the houses in a better way!!

I found wonderful new floor and wall designs from Lianaa's site, thanks to Clyne Fashions!!! I hadn't realized that Lianaa designs building items, too! (My sims have tons of her clothing designs in their closets...)

Well, I will jump into the great world of sims2 building and hope to be able to produce lots of lots that you find functional and nice in your game!!!!!!

Happy simming!

I don't know if the masks that were featured as upcoming ever were released or not. I know I still have the files somewhere if they weren't, for whatever reason.

I posted a couple of Free Time and Bon Voyage firsts that I had. I'll try to remember to make some more interesting screenshots to share in the near future.

I'm not sure at this moment if/when I'll be creating custom content again. As you can see, I took a break from TSR. I took a break from Sims as well for a while.

So, no direct promises, but I will try to be around!
