Survey & News

Thanks to all who voted on the Community Lot survey. I am currently working on a larger community lot for Bannoch Village (more shopping selection) and it is going to take me a while to put it together ... but it will be done!!

Also, I just wanted to mention that my upcoming Harper Quine lots have a 'new' animated ladder (by Marvine at MTS2) in them. Fantastic! Your Sims will actually climb the ladder rung-by-rung. The animation is so real and fun to watch! Marvine granted me permission to use her ladder in my lots and I can't tell you how delighted I am.

I hope you enjoy her ladder as much as I do!!

Free Trees

Count the Pigs!

How many can you find?

Harper Quine's Cottage

No this is not a Bannoch Village cottage. I felt the need to work with some different textures .... and so this little cottage is the result. There are 2 different lots, one furnished and one unfurnished. If you have been using any of my cottages ... you most likely have all the deco shown to fit this cottage out anyway, so if you are concerned with file size, the unfurnished lot will be good for you. Note: I pulled these 2 lots to change 2 things ... 1) I added Marvine's (MTS2) "Ladder with Custom Animation", it is absolutely fabulous!!! The Sims actually climbs it rung-by-rung. Marvine was kind enough to allow me to use her ladder in my lots ... and I can't thank her enough! Wait till you see it in action! Very cool! 2) I wasn't happy with the flooring in the 'shed' so I added a couple of new flooring tiles (with dirt on them) to make it look more .... hmm ... rustic??.... Here are some pix of the furnished model with some notes: I borrowed the name for this cottage from a medieval murder mystery I read this summer, "The Harper's Quine". I liked the name ... and thought it would be a good one for a cottage. The book was excellent by the way ... There are actually 2 fireplaces here. I used Mia86's 'Fireplace with no Chimney' and using the 'moveobjects on' cheat, I placed Jasmine's large stone fireplace over it. It is functional and it might need a smoke alarm placed in the room. Not sure on this. Now doesn't the flooring look better, lol!

Small Hiatus

Due to some real life happenings I was obviously not on TSR for over a week. I will *hopefully* be getting back into the swing of things shortly.

Thanks to those who left me guestbook messages about being featured on the front page. I missed that. Ah well. I'd have taken a screenshot for my scrapbook if I'd seen it!

My next lot

I have decided to put my lot, "The Rock" Modern Home, into a pause for a while to try out a new type of home... this time... here is a sneak peek...

Hooooooooidaaaays are here!

Just a little note to let you all know that I will be away for the next 2 weeks for a well deserved break! me and the family are off to Longleat. I shall try to refrain from feeding my children (okay they are 15 & 10) to the resident lions & tigers!

I have quite a few ideas bussing around my head and i have been furiously collecting all manner of images ready to embark on several recolour sets.. If the hubster doesnt complain too much and "Get OFF that darn laptop WILL YOU!!" and "Are you simming AGAIN?!" sheesh! anyone would think we were on holiday to do... other stuff!

So I bid you farewell for the next 2 weeks.. and hubby permitting, have a mad upload spree when I get back with loads of fab new sets!

In the meantime.. I found this fab picture lurking on my hard drive, and it instantly reminded me of my beloved Zakk....LOL!

Modern Staircases again

Since my Modern Staircase has been so popular, I've thought of making some more recolours: four classic wooden colours and a couple of marble textures that I found quite original.

While making these recolours I also noticed that the railings weren't mapped well (some textures looked blurry on them). So I took the chance to update the mesh too and do some smoothing to make it look more sharp. The old recolours work also with the new mesh, and I think they look much better. If you download the improved mesh, simply overwrite the old file.
