Leotards and Loincloths.

Continuing my Aztec theme, a simple loincloth for peasanty types will soon be available (Also suitable for other historical periods, such as Ancient Egypt). Also to come: recolours of my turtle-neck leotard, by request. I am always happy to recolour any of my items, if they do not appeal in their present form.

New project! - changed

A set for teen girls coming NOT SO soon!
I've put it unhold, since I've started to learn MESHING!!! :D

I've tried it once before, but gave up.
Now I'm into it again, trying to learn the basics, and andvance this coming week. I am off work for 7 days, and I will be doing this all the time. Hopefully, in the end of that week, I will be able to start one of my 8 cool ideas!
I won't be telling what those are until I am sure I can create a mesh.
All I know is that I won't give up this time, and if I'll succed, you're going to have a lots of cool stuff to download, made by me.

So, that teen set I was making is put unhold. It wes a set of underwear. It's not fun making it right now, since I am so into learning meshing.

The learning is going suprisingly well this time.
I haven't encountered any porblem using SimPe to transport the mesh, and I've just completed those simple things as lerning how to select, move, strecht, rotate and resize figures and more, in Milkshape. All the most important functions, so that I know what I'm doing and what happens to my mesh.
It's a good start! And I'm so ready for more!

Look at my Sims2 Videos!

I have made a lot of Videos with Sims2! Fashionshows, Dramas, Music Videos and my best Sims2 pictures from Germany�s Next Topmodel contest!

Have fun and enjoy :o) ...

Bedding-Match BV Hotel Beds Fixed!

LyssaKi pointed out to me some time ago that the opacity plane in my bedding-match version of the single hotel bed was flashing blue. Whoops! I finally got around to fixing it - which I should have done ages ago! - and while I was at it I also made a bedding-match version of the hotel canopy bed, which I'd somehow missed noticing when making the original set. At least until the flood of "will you be making a bedding match version of the canopy bed too?" comments and PMs started flooding in. Doh. Double-Doh! All fixed now. The revised set of beds will be re-released on Monday. Enjoy!

Whoopsie!

As aikea_guinea helpfully pointed out to me today, my "grilled cheese with dart" wall object from the Crazy Clutter collection was conflicting with the "Civic Idol" poster. A fixed version has now been posted and can be downloaded here.

And I swear I still plan to make both more clutter and more frames, it's just this darn Legacy story is once again controlling the majority of my free time. The neighbourhood deciding to reach unplayable levels of lag (plus random crash-y-ness) just prior to the holidays, necessitating a rebuild, has not helped matters :)

Blarg - Toes and the joys of diabetic complications

I have spent the past week getting daily shots of vancomycin HCl because of my stupid toe (see the early blog entry "Gravity and me" for how I ended up with the ugly toe). Between fever and daily "cleaning" of the bad toe, I haven't been terribly chatty or "up". Seems I spend more time getting shots of vancomycin than not these days.

I have lots of ideas on all manner of things, but strangely none of my whimsy is turning towards making medical stuff for The Sims 2... As often as I see the inside of hospitals and doctors' offices, I have more than adequate experience and visual input for making the stuff, just no particular desire to mimic the reality of my life in the game.

I suppose I should make a medical/hospital set, it would be too good a prop set for story-writers and film-makers to ignore. Oh well, add that to the ever growing list of profession-oriented theme objects I need to make for the game.

One day at a time...

These days I make objects and post them as soon as I have debugged them, rather than holding off until I have the complete set. I know this may be a little frustrating for people who prefer to download whole sets, but this way I get it on-line sooner rather than later. Sure, whole sets are a great thing, but delaying release usually means procrastinating in the making phase, if the way is always clear for the next item... well, there is nothing more offensive to an artist than an empty canvas LOL

I have computer problems

I just wanted to let you know that at the moment I'm having computer problems. I will get back to creating as soon as possible. I'm having withdrawal pains from lack of creating. lol :) I have taken to pen and pencil drawing out future creations.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

New Decorative Items

I have grown a bit bored with my current selection of "decoration" objects and have gone a little crazy with the creation of some new items to aid your most interior decorating challenged Sims.

I like being able to change the feel of a room by just throwing down an area rug, and for that reason I have a couple hundred new ones that will be uploaded over the next few weeks. (I know that sounds like overkill, but I'm sure that there will be at least ONE design that will suit everyone's taste.)

I also like to spruce up my walls with a simple painting, and you've guessed it, I've got a ton of those coming out soon as well. :)

I'll also continue my journey in wall making during all of this, so I'll be very busy over the next few weeks.

I hope you enjoy the new content, and Happy Simming!

Reflexsims Roma Bathroom

With Texture Challange 73 I try to assemble a nice-looking version of Reflexionistin's latest free bathroom

Going underground

I've been planning to build an underground nightclub for a long time. I just didn't know what to build above it. Thanks to Cyclonesue (luv you!), I now could build a condemned apartment building on the top of the club! You can wander around the whole building, if you wish. You can also furnish a room or two, maybe as a club room for a secret society...
I'm now going to install OFB (which I always think of as Out of Business, for some reason...). Have to figure what kind of shop I'd like to build. Maybe I could update my Kmart and WildWildWest? Is that a cheap idea, or a smart one?
