I have two new sets available to download in the next few days. The first is my Blue Modern Bedroom set which is available to download from 25th October. Following that on the 26th October is my Traditional Rugs Set. Preview pictures for both are below.

BLACK STATUE FIVE!

...

I got you, didn't I...?

LOL...

anyways, again, I would like to say that the fifth part is taking too long because I really have to focus on my schoolwork... (and the game I used for the story is on another computer and I only create from my laptop)... but still.. i do INTEND to finish the story.

that's all.

Happy Simming!

Multi-Use Photo Frames

For a while now I've been wanting to make a set of picture frames based on the photo booth picture from Nightlife; you know, the one that you can place on either a wall or on a counter, table, end table, or coffee table... Well, with much cursing and swearing and sweat, I've managed to bludgeon the files into submission and produce a beginning set of photo frames. I got really ambitious with it, and have been making frames that can be placed at different heights on the wall, so they can be combined to make interesting layouts. I'm also ambitious in that I went nuts with the repository technique (well, of course I did!) and set it up so all of the frames get their frame textures from the square medium-height frame (the same size and placement as the original photo booth picture I started from). All square pictures get their photo image from the medium-height square, all panoramic from the medium-height panoramic, and so forth and so on. This first set of frames is just the start of what should be a sizable collection by the time I'm finished; it will include more height placements for the portrait and landscape photos (currently only available at medium height in this set), and some additional sizes and layouts of frames. And recolours. Lots and lots of recolours! For one thing, I've been threatening my brother for ages with the idea of me taking off with a big chunk of his art photos (he's a devoted amateur photographer) and using them for something in the sims... I figure this is as good a time as any to actually do so!

I'm Back, Well Almost!

I've got a couple of new sets I've recolored that I need to upload here soon. I'm sorry I haven't made anything in awhile, but I've just been enjoying playing the game too much. I finally decided I wanted some new recolors to play with so I got busy and made a couple of new sets! I hope to upload them here soon for everyone else to enjoy.

Another Year Older

October 23rd is my birthday! I�ve celebrated many, many birthdays over the years and I usually enjoy the greetings, gifts and special attention. OMG! This has been the weirdest birthday! My entire neighborhood lost electrical power for several hours today. I tell you it is well worth the money to invest in a battery backup for your computer! My battery backup software automatically put my computer in hibernation mode and no data was lost.

No computer! No way to work at home! No CAR! I have an electric garage door opener, and my car was parked in the garage. So, I had to manually lift a heavy, solid wood garage door to retrieve my car.

Later in the afternoon when power was restored to my neighborhood I accidentally jammed my finger in the pantry door. Fortunately, the only damage to my finger was a splinter stuck under the finger nail. Ouch! Did I mention I also burned dinner!

Although it has not been the best birthday I am thankful for all the family and friends who wished me a Happy Birthday! I do have plans to celebrate this weekend, so I think I will write this day off as a trial run for my upcoming birthday celebration!

P.S. I know this is a shameless bid for sympathy and birthday greetings. But, IT IS MY BIRTHDAY!

The End is Near

I'm regretfully announcing the Fisher Legacy has come to an end.

A few things have come up recently, and I will be leaving this computer behind along with all my game files, downloads, etc. I won't have much time to continue updating once moved. I'll still be in the forums and hopefully building houses and whatnot for you guys, but my stories will suffer greatly. I'm hoping that once moved, I can start anew. I'm sorry that I can't continue as I truly liked this Legacy...

If you'd like to reach me or anything of the sort...I'm still around, you can PM me or sign my Guestbook...or reach me in my thread in the Welcome Wagon of the TSR Forums...I'm all over the place. I'll see you guys around, and I'm sorry for the abrupt ending.

The Xilo Floorcollection

Un believeble but true! I never made a whole floorset for Sims2 since it came out, hahaha! Well, I tought I had to change that. So, I started to create Xilo, wich is a woodset. I made it in 3 colors, a light, middle and dark version. I made it so that you can mix the 3 colors with eachother. Again, I tried to fit them smootly so you can make large floors without noticing any differences in it. I hope you like them! :D

...and NEW POLL

As you have probably already seen, there's a new poll which will be open during November. This time it is addressed specifically to non-subscribers and it's meant as a Christmas gift for you: I'd like you to choose the sets that will be free during December. The choice that gets most votes will be set free the next month.

I've already made a selection of the most popular stuff I've released, but if you'd like to have something else free, you only need to write it here. Just remember that I cannot set free the stuff that's too new (for example the Sintesi Study or the Winding Staircase). Anyway, I'll take your choices in consideration for the future schedule. If, for example, most of you choose the Sintesi Bedroom, I'll do my best to set free the Living room and the Study too in the coming months (with the same recolours, of course).

As for subscribers, you who can have my stuff at any time, I'll do my best to offer you something new and special for XMas too. As usual, I take your suggestions in due consideration.

FREEBIES for November...

The free stuff for the next month is as follows:

From October, 26 to November, 23 the free sets will be:
A Christmas Touch
Olive Green Bedroom

From October, 23 to November, 30 the free set will be:
NH Ancient Buildings - Set 1

The first two sets, in particular, have a Christmas feeling and I think they're right in the mood of this period. I've chosen the last one to fill the last week of November, but if you like Egyptians, you'll be soon very happy... can't say anything more.

Early Spring

It was in the Early Spring this year I made this set. It�s a bit special to me because it was the first time I draw a new texture with my tablet. I made every set with a murial of 3 walls and a neutral wall to combine with. You can also mix every mural with all the other neutral walls of this collection. The neutral walls can smoothly be placed next and above eachother without noticing any difference. This whole collection contains 5 sets, so the first set comes with 4 other recolors...Have fun! :D
