Snoopy Nursery Set

I have completed my Snoopy Nursery Set, I had a go at making some of my own objects this time. It was a lot of fun making new objects rather than doing recolours. I made the crib, changing table and the toy. The curtains are a recolour of the curtains I previously made. Here's a preview of the Snoopy Nursery Set, it will be available to download from TSR from the 14th September.

"I am not a number" (or words to that effect)

Fans of the cult TV series "The Prisoner" might like to note two forthcoming projects: the costume of the main character, as worn by Patrick McGoohan, and the "Green Dome" (AKA the Pantheon; home and headquarters of Number Two, and a real-life structure in the North Wales village of Portmeirion). This will be a residential lot, built to accomodate 3-4 sims, and will require expansions up to and including Seasons.

NEW Colors!

After much deliberation, I decided to add 8 more colors to the Studio K signature color line. I had thought about this for a really long time (like for almost 6 months), but tried very hard to get it out of my head, as I knew it would only create even more for me to do. The "clearing-of-the-tata" thing didn't succeed.

I have to admit, I was getting a little bored with the original 28 colors, and the wall and floor colors were starting to blend into one big blob. I could almost recreate a design in any one of the original 28 with my eyes closed. So, I knew only one thing could cure it: a new challenge. I say this because almost all of the upcoming designs that I will be posting in the future, were already done. By this I mean, designed, uploaded to Homecrafter, packaged, zipped, screenshot, and preview image were totally complete.

I put a lot of work into the upcoming designs. Trust me, even though it's only walls and floors, there are many, many hours into all of it. Just ask my husband. I emerged from my basement just yesterday, to which he stated, "Pardon me ma'am, who are you and why are you in my home?" And later, he stated, "Ma'am, if you happen to see my wife, could you please tell her that I love her, miss her, and wish she would come back."

So, basically what I'm saying is Enjoy the new colors and have an AMAZING day!

Mins Library Set

Made to match my ParkLane Bookcase Blues collection, her coordinating objects are absolutely wonderful. Beautiful renditions of both the Moire fabric and the ParkLane mouldings are used in her library furniture. Pop over to "Just judi" in the FA Discussion forum and post a screenshot of how you used them in your Sims home. I hope to soon see more of Mins creations using my walls and floors. :-)

First Blog Entry

Well, I noticed that my page looked a bit bare without this blog thing going.
I am going to get ready to do a full Halloween Livingroom recolor (since I don't do meshing). I hope you all enjoy it and download for your own fun.

Please let me know if you can't see the banner at the top of my page. I am unable to see it, but was told that it is there by TSR staff. So, if you can or can't see it, please let me know.

That is all for today. I will try to update this as often as I can, but I get busy at times.

HUGS TO ALL AND HAPPY SIMMING!

Appliance recolors here!

I finally became satisfied with my textures for the dishwasher and trash compactor and cheap stove. Maxis doesn't make it easy to recolor their in-game items! I hope you like them. The designer recolors to match the fridges are coming out today and in the next several days. I've also done two other sets of colors - brights and pastels. Those should start coming out in the next couple of weeks.

And I haven't forgotten about the Just Color series. My next color scheme will be very neutral, cool, and modern. Which should be a nice complement to the types of furniture and objects that I like, which are decidedly NOT modern! I'm already starting to work on objects and I hope to get some preview pics up soon.

Eon's Odyssey free!

Something for builders of country dwellings, stately mansions and medieval palaces?

Not quite, but I hope you'll like it anyway.



This set of decorative roof pieces is free from 10 September for four weeks! Meanwhile, fans of low-down-and-dirty industrial stay tuned for my next set (sorry that there has been too long a run of 'nice' things in this tiny corner of the TSR world). More on that soon! Ooh, what a tease!

Fireplaces out on 13th September...

Of COURSE you've been waiting! In fact, WOE BETIDE anyone who hasn't been waiting!!! Those fireplaces have now been lifted from the rotten pile of absolute crud bulging the seams of my hard drives, and is now due for release next Thursday (13th September).

A few notes on what to expect (otherwise known as 'lame excuses')...

(1) Where they will be found: Under Appliances/Miscellaneous (for fireplaces to appear in the build catalog, they would need specialist script installation, which is a total bore when you just wanna play).

(2) Larger fireplaces: Unfortunately, adding grid tiles to fireplaces doesn't seem to work. Any fire larger than 2 x 1 is still treated by Sims as 2 x 1 tiles, meaning they can clip through the brickwork if the fire is larger than 2 x 1. The solution is simple: just hide a small object inside each end of the fireplace or otherwise obstruct the floor tiles from irritating Sims who just love to stand in brickwork! You can also use Dr Pixel's wonderful DO NOT ENTER cones specifically designed for this purpose.

(3) The Tavern fireplace needs that window! I've also included a window in the set. This is for the double-fronted Tavern fireplace (to create a hole for the fire).

(4) Matching wallpapers have been included! Two of them to be exact - totally seamless in all directions.

(5) A bit of cheating! The chimney pieces would ideally like to sit on floor tiles. As you can see in my piccies below, I've used the 'moveobjects' cheat to place the pieces on each floor level. You might also need to use this cheat to place any chimny piece in the pitched roof space.

Mini-Site

Well, i've been putting it off hoping the powers that be might think I have a talent for lot building & stuff, but guess not lol. So I finally gave in & bought my own mini-site. Hope you find plenty to keep you amused x
