Newbies and freebies!

I know - I've been a bit quiet lately. But what a nice relief for you!

Anyway, I've made some decorative-only Highland Crofter Chimneys that are found gracing tiny rural cottages and crofters (I may have just made that up, so don't go ahead believing me!), and a small set of lots to match. All I need now is someone from Scotland to point a finger and say: "but crofters look NOTHING like that!"

From tomorrow, the Brick Plinths set will be free for a month. Yes, I KNOW they're not actually 'plinths' (we've had THAT particular conversation before)...



Plinths Buttresses

And my Invisible Driveway is now permanently free - so you can use this in lots without your lot becoming subscriber-only as a result!

And a free lot...

This time, a lot from the Industrial Age series - the first one that I made before I even knew there was ever going to be an entire series!

My Projects.....

Hey Guys, Here are some things i have been working on and have just uploaded. There is a mixture this time around. I tried my hand at creating Lipstick. I think they turned out resonably well. I also have a Nails Set. These are just some plain ones with fancy ones coming later on. Hope you enjoy them! Hugs, Louise.

Small Setback

Well, I finally went and got a new graphics card for my computer, and I must say that the graphics in my game are so much more better. I now can see all sorts of things in my game that I hadn't seen before like the fishies in my fish tanks, the fish in the ponds, and the beautiful reflections on the pools. There's a small problem that I had been having though, but I'm hoping that I have resolved it. My computer was crashing to a black screen and the monitor was going into power save mode, and nothing I did made the screen come back up except for hitting the button on the CPU and rebooting. It was only letting me play for about 5 to 10 minutes, and that's when it would go black. Well, I thought that I would look at any updates to the video card, and I found one and downloaded the update and installed it. I was also playing on max settings, which I don't think helped matters. So, after installing the update, I started the game and lowered the graphics settings and it actually let me play for almost two hours. So, I'm hoping everything is fixed, although, it would be nice to play on full graphics settings. I also kept saving in certain spots so that if it did go, I wouldn't lose the progress that my Sim family was making in occupations, relationships, and skills. Cross your fingers for me that I've, indeed, fixed it!!!

Advent calendar at EA Germany - Day 3

Hi folks!
Beside the Firenze livingroom you can also download an object by me at the official german sims site. What it is you have to find out yourself. ;)
The calendar is located here. Enjoy and check this blog from time to time as there are other days I made objects for. :)

Best regards,

Cheap Shower Set

I've just finished the cheap shower set to match Shannanigan's retro colors. They should be published soon so keep an eye out for them this next week. Thanks to Lily Whyte for requesting these.

I hope to broaden my creativity and recolor either some clothing or maybe some other objects next.

Hair Requests

Hey Guys,

Well it's getting to the point now that i am running out of Hair Tones to recolour. So now i think i'm going to start taking any requests. If there is a particular Hair Tone that you have seen somewhere and would like it to be recoloured just sign my Guestbook or send me a PM telling me where it is - and if possible to give me the link. I won't though recolour any "Pay Hair" or ones that i am not allowed to recolour. I want everyone to be able to download them. I'm also not going to do any Hair Tones that i have already done.

I have a couple more Hair Sets coming out within the next week. There are a couple for Females and a couple for Males. Any requests can be for Female or Males - it doesn't bother me.

While i am also on this topic i must apologise to anyone who is trying to download any of my Peggy Sims Hair Tones. Peggy Sims is doing maintenance to their Free Area - so you won't be able to download from there for a short period. Hopefully though they will be back up and running soon.

Thanks guys,

Louise

Christmas Colors Bedding

Now see ... I can do nice things on occasion, LOL! I did enjoy making these bedspreads and they actually work on twin beds, too, which is always difficult to make happen. Here is a preview picture of a single bed (Do ya think I squeezed enough Christmas items into this picture? Lol!)

My computer drives me mad!!

I have every Sims2 expansion and stuff on my computer, but can't play the game without my computer choking. What happens first is that the screen goes blue whilst the time-glass is spinning. Then the screen comes back. After this has happened a few times, the screen turns permanently blue, then black, and by then the game has crashed.
If I'm lucky, I get to play for some time before trouble starts. But sometimes it happens as soon as I enter the game. I'm about to get seriously allergic to the color blue...
ARGHHH!!! I got to get me a new and more powerful computer!!
