Little Venice - Posh Villa

Here's a few preview pics of what's coming up. I have a new lot in this series coming out in a few days' time. My intention is to then publish a superset of all the Little Venice lots so far, followed by a fresh wave of new lots. I'll be back with some pics of those soon ;-)



I'm quite pleased with this one; it was originally the third generation in a series of three (the others being the Starter and Tall Starter in this series.) I've tweaked it quite a bit and I hope you'll like it.

I envisaged some slightly pretentious Sims living there ;-) In the meantime, the Ramaswamis kindly offered to pose in a few pics of the unfurnished version:











Here's the top floor:



The first floor:



The ground floor:




And finally the basement:



Back with more previews soon...

International Man of Mystery Stuff

If you've been paying attention to the figures on the survey poll on my main page, you'll see that lots of people (over 1000 at the time of this writing) have responded and the over-whelming view of the people responding to the poll is that there is not enough male-oriented content in The Sims 2. Following my own bent for the less travelled path, I am starting my way down a experiemental series of objects for story-tellers and film-makers that will hopefully aid them in spy-thriller plots. I am partially hindered by a desire to maintain a sort of realistic look to these items, but not so realistic that it will look too much like a James Bond set. Realism is great, but I don't want to drift too far from the basic look and feel of The Sims 2. I will be trying to recreate some of the objects in another game, Evil Genius, to fill in the opposition's array of goods. I am not certain where this will lead, but it already is adding Art Deco content and some high-end designer content that will be suitable for playboy billionaires and stylish villains. The main goal is to fill in some of the gaps that have been left by the expansions, to make as much as possible of the new objects base-game compatible, and to keep a rather playful mood in the new objects. The current series (Casino Mazhik objects) is being a real challenge to keep in a low-poly range. The original Maxis buffet in the base game is far from low-poly, so adding the new base didn't improve matters. I think the hardest part of all has to be not making something someone else has already made for The Sims 2. Also, trying to make my new objects in a similar theme to the work of other artists here at TSR (Cyclonesue, Padre333, Aikea_guinea, and so many other excellent artists). Certainly, a Tokamak Fusion Reactor or a Arclite Siege Tank will not step on anyone's creative toes, but what on earth will it look good with?? More importanly, what good will they add to the game? Hopefully, I will have better sense than to try to recreate Halo 3 in The Sims 2. LOL

Aztec Theme

Spurred on by the new Aztec-style items and building materials in the Bon Voyage EP, but rather disappointed by the accompanying clothes, I have decided to try my hand at some historically accurate Aztec gear, and maybe one or two lots. Currently in the pipeline: three skirt and blouse sets for Aztec ladies (done as a whole outfit rather than separates).

Goodbye FA, Welcome back SA

I have made one of the hardest decisions I have ever made.

I decided to let go of my FA status to cater to those who cannot subscribe. I admit, being an FA was fun, but I thought that there are many people out there who cannot subscribe, so I figured that it would be best if I would just be an SA! Which means all my stuff are FREE again!

Thanks for all your continued support!

Tall Pines Campground

My latest lot is massive to say the least. Situated on the largest lot in the game it features 8 fully furnished cabins for your vacationing sims. It also features axe throwing games,hot tubs,campfires fishing ponds and last but not least a hidden surprise in the statue at the front of the lot. Above the check-in lodge there is a combination arcade and massage parlor too. WARNING!! This lot is fully landscaped and may cause major lag on slower pc's. I hope you enjoy my latest lot which will be coming out in the coming days

Oh my...

Today I just checked how my lots were doing and discovered that one of my starter homes released this last September got past the mark of 4000 downloads! This is something really so awesome to me that I don't think I will ever be able to express it properly.

I'm really grateful for all the support and friendship I found in this wonderful site. So thank you guys for downloading my stuff and thank you TSR for allowing me to share my lots and giving me so much already!

And here's a project I'm working on. It's a residential home, but it's far from finished:



I hope you all have a great day! :)

Winter?

It's supposed to be winter, but all we're getting right now is rain, wind and cloudy skies. I can't wait for spring when the sun will start to shine again! Luckily with Seasons installed our Sims can have summer all year round. To get myself in a more 'sunny' mood I've started working on a beachy recolor of the Ashley Bedroom from ATS. It's coming along nicely, there are still some things that need sorting but it'll be ready before the weekend. A little preview:

Woohoo

My problem is solved, it looks like I picked up a bad cookie in my browser, anyway it's all cleared so it's buisiness as usual for a while at least.

Have fun

50,000 Downloads!:)

My creations have been downloaded 50,000 times!! I'm so excited! I wish to say thank you very much to anyone that has ever downloaded my recolors:) And a huge thank you to all the wonderful mesh makers out there-without you I wouldn't have so many cool objects to play with-lol! I enjoy recoloring objects and posting them here so much - I love the feedback I get from the community here. Everyone is always willing to help anyone here, something hard to find in such a large community. I appreciate all of you a lot!! Thank you:)
