Printemps

I was recently asked if I would make a version of my Bohemian Teen tops for adults and young adults. That set comprised three different styles of top so I decided to make three sets based on these different styles and to expand the colour choices. So here is the first set: eight pretty short sleeved V-neck T-shirts in fresh spring colours with contrast lace panels based on an original Maxis design.



The tops use a standard Maxis mesh and are base game compatible.

What a drag!!

Is anyone else having a difficult time getting stuff posted?! I have 2 lots that I uploaded on the 8th. They are still pending! I posted them at the same time as my last two lots. I know I am not a master creator or anything.. but when I submit something it would be nice if it got posted. Does anyone know why it is taking so long?

Spuh-ring Break!

I am on spring break this week! From the 16th to the 23rd I have NO school =]

Sadly, (for me) I will not be out partying or getting drunk since I'll be in London for two weeks this May, and I can't afford two vacations in two months.

Fortunately for you, I have a whole week to work on the Manor house sets. The second part of the architectural set is nearly done.

There's ONE piece left. Unfortunately, it also happens to be massive. Plus, I hate the original design I came up with, so I'll be redoing it.
Of course, my meshing skills are awesome, so I can finish the redesign within a day =P

After that, I'll start rolling out the MH sets, starting with the Garden set!

Watch out for that!

Look Forward Towards More...

...I've started recoloring. Just a beginner...but, I'm certainly trying...so on top of all the other things I've been doing for you guys...expect some recolors real soon.

Okey...

Since everyone else is posting pictures of themselves, here's me. This was in January at Disneyland California Adventures. Me, my hubby, Hiedibear and her Mommy all went. Of COURSE, we had a lot of fun!

Permission to recolor my meshes.

I retired from making stuff for TSR a long time ago and don't log in to TSR that often anymore. But I still get requests from user who want permission to recolor my meshes.
Since I rarely read those requests in time, here is a message to all TSR users and Sim's lovers:

Every single mesh made by me is free to recolor. I hereby give permission to do so.

So no need to ask, feel free to recolor and have fun!

Creating again

Hi all! I'm beginning to create again, after a bit of a break. But, I've made a decision. Some of my work will be submitted to TSR, but mostly only recolors of subscriber-only meshes. ALL of my work, except TSR-subscriber-only meshes will be at www.naturalsims.com.

Frankly, that's where my focus is now. I'm a valued staff member/artist there, I have control over my submissions, and when they appear, and I get to work/play with a great bunch of women. The amount of space I have there is way more than a minisite here. And, I don't have to take individual screenshots, just a set picture. That leaves me more time to create.

I'll miss all of you, but come see me over there. And I'll be around some here, too, just not as much.

Hugs,

Calli

Chocolatier Prints

I'm still working on picking up the slack. I've been sick a lot lately (pretty much solid since the end of January, truth be told) but I think I'm slowly recovering now. Naturally, my game has decided to start blowing up, however, so I'm also working on sorting that out. Luckily I have this entire week off from work for the Easter break so I'm hoping to fit more creation time in and start rolling out all those backpiled ideas I still have kicking around. Wish me luck! :)

So, here's the next addition in the business-themed prints series: yummy chocolatier prints! I don't know about you, but I get chocolate cravings just looking at these delicatable treats and hopefully for your business-owning Sims, so will their customers! The set is up for publication tomorrow morning (Mon., Mar. 17'08), since I've been so tardy at getting it out earlier.

A little Previeuw on the beachwear collection for teen boys

Like I promised, here's a little previeuw on the beachwear collection for teen boys. I really enjoyed creating them and my Teens looked great when I was playing the game. I would be very glad if you and your teen boys like them to. BTW: Because of FreeTime the trunks wil be found at Swimwear & Atletic. Please let me know if you are interested on another "only the Basic Game" versions of beachwear. A Nice close up.

Hi Again

I haven't done anything with the sims for a while. Practically the moment things became more stable at work, my boss put in her notice and my new boss is pretty insane. I've ignored the sims to veg out and watch movies in my down time. Anyway, I decided to do a couple of outfits for some meshes that never made it on to TSR. I've uploaded the meshes to make it easier for everyone to download them.
I've been away for so long, I'm really not surprised to see that not only am I not a "Select Artist" but I'm not even listed in the retired artist. Like I said, I'm not surprised, but a little disappointed and a twinge of hurt. Oh well, it's not like I have a lot of time to dedicate to the cause. I hope to find more time to create than I did before, but since I really don't know if it will work out for me, I can't make any commitments. Cheers everyone and thanks for the past support. Happy simming!
