How to build the Lighthouse

To build the lighthouse you need the Lighthouse Build set and the Invisible window and door set. Don't forget the collection files! The meshes will not clog up your catalogs with stuff that is not used very often. They will only appear in the collection files. 1. Make sure you have a flat piece of ground of at least 7x7. Build with normal walls a shape like in this picture. 2. Place the round wall segments agains the walls. You place them on the inside, they show up on the outside. You can use either the normal ones or the one with windows in it. 3. Place the wall segment with the door opening. 4. Use the invisble window on all maxis walls (except for the dooropening), so they will "disappear". 5. Place the door with the arrow pointing to the outside of the lighthouse. 6. Fill the floortiles inside the maxis walls. 7. Use the "floor ring" to cover up the unfilled floortiles. 8. Repeat these steps for as many levels as you want your lighthouse to have. For higher levels you may need to first place the floor tiles before placing the wall segments. 9. On the top level you can place the spinning light (needs Nightlife). You might need to use moveobjects on to place it. 10. Place the top part at the top. 11. Your lighthouse is ready! You still need to place the stairs. For that you can use the modulair stairs, in combination with a foundation (use the lower floor ring if you have a foundation part in the middle). Or you can use some custom stairs. Spaik made some fantastic 3-tile stairs, which will fit in perfectly in the Lighthouse.

Heart of Stone

Not my heart, hopefully.
When I began creating stuff for the Sims, I made a couple of sets of stone floors called as the title of this blog entry. They weren't that bad, but I wasn't at all satisfied with them, since they were in general too plain and there were a few of them which were not seamless.

I finally found the time to fix and revamp them; I've substituted those that weren't seamless, and added some depth to the others. In the end, even if the sets date late 2005, they are completely new.

Fingernail Files Show Up In the Glasses Section of CAF/CAS

Hi folks,

I neglected to mention in my downloads where you will find your new fingernails for your Sims once you install them. They will be located in your CAS/CAF (Create a Sim/Create a Family)area in Bodyshop. I believe it's in the second part of area 4 (the makeup area) under the glasses selection.

Also, please remember that you must get the fingernails mesh at Sims 4 Rent. The internet address is on the THS download page information. Entry to Sims 4 Rent and to download the mesh are both FREE. I will never refer anyone to a site where you would have to pay for anything in order to use one of my creations. My many thanks go to ShadyLady for creating this great mesh!

I hope you enjoy these fingernails. I never felt my Sims were complete without realistic looking nails. Now I will have to come up with some for the men also.

If you are interested in special colors or designs let me know and I will see what I can do for you.

Thank you so much for visiting my site and for downloading my creations. Your comments are ALWAYS listened to, appreciated, and taken to heart.

2nd Back to Basics Tutorial Published Tomorrow!

Indeed... The second tutorial is inflicted upon your good selves ttomorrow! this one goes more indepth and rather than my erm... blatant plagerism of maxis walls, I go about showing you (in a fashion) how to make your own walls from scratch! From finding the textures, the fancy pants cornicing etc plus several important notes and tips on unstretched walls, and submitting to TSR.

Not a patch on Judi's ever so fantabulous walls, but hey! its a start!

On the work front - would you believe it? I am now a "Formally qualified DSE Workstation Assessor" Ooooooh!! Indeed I can now tell everyone how they should be sitting at their computers etc whilst I sit here, Laptop on a cushion, no wrist support, and I can without doubt say that when playing Sims2, i definately do not "take adequate breaks from my computer screen" oops!

I am back!

Hi everyone!
Its true, I am finally back! I never really left in fact, I was just really occupied with work and family.
Anyways, thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments! I will have new things coming soon : clothes, eyes, make up, etc.
I hope you'll like them!
Have a nice summer time! :D

RL interrupts again!

The new WC Spotlight and poll will go up later today when I get a chance. Creating comes first though! *lol*

Random thought:
Why do screenshots take so darn long? *lol* Longer than creating...
