New colours for the Victorian Radiator

I don't often do recolours (I leave that to people better at it than me), but the Victorian Radiator I made in the recent Climate Solutions set offers the grand total of ONE colour: black!

Not good enough! I've been meaning to put together a set of colours for ages. I've now done that...


Recolours of Victorian Radiator
Expect this set at or around 31 May (if not before).

Bon Voyage - first screens

On the official Danish simsite you can find the first pics of the upcoming 6th EP. I've found this news on http://www.snootysims.com/ and http://www.simtimes.de/ Here the pics: I think Bon Voyage will soon be officially announced. And this will be really a great news - Finally vacation with the sims again! /Sophia :)

The Cape Cod Sets

Now that all the Bedroom sets are submitted (the first three to be published Friday, and the last set pending), I will be creating matching room sets to the Cape Cod Kitchen Set. The first set will be the bedroom set with two new meshes, followed by the Living Room Set with four new meshes! Also, I plan to make a matching bathroom and office sets.

I should have some previews of these sets soon!

That's it for now!
Happy simming!

H&M Stuff pack is coming soon

Hi there, in ca. 2 weeks is the release of the H&M stuff pack. I really happy about this pack, because there comes really cute new clothing items with it. And I'm buying often in these shops clothing ;) So my simmies get a bit more reality. I think these ones will be some of my favourites: I'm interested in, if you'll buy this pack - so I create a new poll about this. I'm curious about the result :) Cheers, Sophia

Bannoch Village: Quille Cottage

Very small, one bedroom cottage with bathroom facility outside (but there are bushes for privacy ... and a nice overhang (vordach2) to keep the rain and snow off your Sims, when nature calls. Windows have a very unusual, custom awning (by Crocobaura at MTS2), who graciously allowed me to recolor them for this cottage. This is a small, long lot with plenty of room to add a driveway or additional living space. The house was suddenly abandoned, and has been tidied for a new owner. Quille the Hag has apparated, and no one knows exactly where she is at this time. Bannoch Village will not miss her or her one-toothed smile. She was a cranky old thing.

New tutorials - basic info

Although I haven't had a lot of time in the last few months, I'm determined to work on more tutorials. And I've been getting a number of Help-Me questions about simple but important issues, which has made me want to work on them.

The first tute like this comes out tomorrow. It's called Creating Invisible Stairs, and will show a much simpler and more useful way to create Invisivle or Stealth Stairs.

I'll also do a tute on varying roof slopes, and one on basic gardening, and if I can I'll try one on "Decisions to make before building!" !!!!!

If anyone reading this has any more ideas on basic issues that seem to need short tutes, please say here or PM me. ;)

...So Thats Why Mistress Hates Pink!

I bet youre all just dying to know huh? Go on.. I know you are glued to your seats unable to move out of the sheer suspense, and not becuase i have squirted a bucket load of Araldite super contact bonding Adhesive to your sofa!

So why does Mistress hate Pink? why wont I have this offending colour in my house? or my wardrobe? or ruffles, and flounces? well, are you sitting comfortably? then I shall begin...

Imagine this, Mistress is a little 8 year old girl, a bit tomboy'ish, I liked to make mud pies on the building site near my home, I liked to play on my bike - yes.. it was a boys bike.. it was a bright yellow Grifter.. no pretty clinky belled bycicle with shopping basket for me... Noooo! My mother would put me in a nice dress each weekend, and I would either go off to the building site to "bake pies" or help my father tinker with his car in the garage, or sit on the floor and band 2 bits of wood together with a gazillion nails and a big whopping hammer. Ace!!

She gave up after a while.. so she began buying me dolls.. doll houses, baby dolls that pee'd and Ice Cream dolls (the rubbish UK equivalent of cabage patch dolls i think) and Cindy dolls (the equally rubbish UK equivalent of Barbie) so they were promptly discarded, given away or in the sad case of poor old Cindy, she had all her hair shaved off, my older sister's make-up proved excellent camoulflage paint, and she enjoyed her brief time in the Action Man tank my father smuggled home for me, until her sad depart in a bad accident when Action Man took Cindy Paragliding - His "Eagle Eyes" werent quite as effective as I thought... oops!

The Pink thing happened soon after - think as a form of punishment and desperation shortly after Cindy's sad demise... It was School Trip time! We were due to go to some caves with Stalagmites and such, and mum said i could have a new outfit.. she ordered it (or what i though was what i picked) from a catalogue and we waited for it to arrive... and then... It did.

It was a dark dark day in the budding Mistres' life indeed. the new outfit i was made to wear consisted of a CANDY PINK Jogging Suit, with matching PINK waistcoat, with a PINK tshirt, PINK socks, PINK trainers, PINK hairband and a PINK denim Skirt...darn it if there was even a PINK vest and knicker set... Mistress was heartbroken!

Ever seen one of those unfortunate photos someone took which had one kid with the biggest scowling frown ever that dominates the whole shot?

That was me that was....

Last set of Alex dolls

This week I am working on my last set of skins based on the Alex dolls by Madame Alexander.

Plodding Along - New Poll

Haven't gotten very far with my Solander Kitchen links, but I'm trying.

I got tired of the old poll and put up a new one.
Here is the results from the last one.

Question: Which expansion packs are you currently playing with?

None - Base Game only
8.91% (27)

University
59.74% (181)

Nightlife
58.42% (177)

Open for Business
54.79% (166)

Family Fun Stuff
36.3% (110)

Glamour Life Stuff
41.58% (126)

Pets
55.45% (168)

Happy Holiday Stuff
30.69% (93)

Seasons
74.26% (225)

Seems most everyone has Seasons and not so many have the stuff packs. Interesting results. Anyway the new poll is about the kind of wood you like in your rooms (and one question about fixtures). So here's a new opportunity for kudos and I'd love to know what you think. I appreciate everyone who took the last poll. These polls have shaped a lot of the content you see and will continue to do so.
If a poll sparks a different idea, don't be afraid to PM me or send a guestbook entry and let me know. Can't guarantee I'll adopt every suggestion, but I'll certainly listen. Thanks again!

Welcome :)

Hi there, and welcome to my brand new minisite. I just bought it and now need to find out how to configure it ... if you find anything not working correctly, please don't hesitate to send me a pm so I can fix it!

Have fun, Imme
