Daily Update N5?

Not-so-daily update Number 5

Hello ladies, gents and.. aliens. xD
Yea, I'm still a but behind with a lot of things. I want to comment on every piece of clothing and screenshots..
And I still want to read the unread stories. And oh, bummer, there are so many.. o________o
+ I'm also busy with writing myself ARGH. I'm currently thinking about the end of Endless...

Here's a chance of.. when the end will be.
25% in Chapter 14
70% in Chapter 15
5% in chapter 16+

So as you can see.. it may be chapter 15, but I'm still not sure.. which means.. you guys will have to wait till chapt 14 is out.

----

Alright! I'm soon going to publish another sim on here. (I've been publishing 3 outside TSR lol.) But.. this one on here.. will be my first and last one, that uses sliders. I used sliders, due my urge to create this sim with great detail. & The person for who I've created this, accepted it that I'll be using sliders. So that's done.

I have to find a way though, to have all the sliders for you guys to be avaible in a not so hard way.. and I'm working on that ^^

Furthermore.. I had been planning on creating a house, and I saw someone with a request, not sure if he/she's going to accept it though. I haven't heard anything from him/her. So if I'm not getting an answer soon. I won't be doing that request anymore, and start with something by myself.

I've been creating 3 clothing. 
1 - A bikini
2 - A simple dress
3 - Elsa's Coronation Dress.

Elsa's Coronation Dress, happened to be published some days ago. I'm still going to finish mine sometime, because I'm doing it for someone who had requested it on the forums. Since I've already half hand-painted the texture of my version and wasted a lot of time in it, I'm not just going to scrap it. =]

The simple dress is really, simple, but damn, I LOVE the texture. The mesh is partly modified by me ^^
The bikini is a simple texture change. =] (Not sure if I'll be publishing it though.) 

YOU KNOW WHAT. I can simply create special clothing, for myself, without sharing. LOL, somehow that feels so satisfying. Sorry, now i'm being mean xD But I love to play with photoshop and creating stuff. So yea.

Oh man, what have I typed? LOL so much.
Anyways, I'm obviously still playing the game too. Currently I'm even doing some kind of Legacy Challenge and I oughted my self to not use any cheats and all that fancy stuff. OK.

That's it for now. BYE! 

World in Development: Diamond Key

I am working on my first major word in Create-A-World for the Sims 3. It's called Diamond Key!

One of Diamond Key's lighted nature trails at sunset.

Diamond Key is a medium-sized island world. My main goals in designing this world are:

1. Mostly flat land to make for easy lot management for players and builders

2. Leave enough space between lots to allow players to delete the original lot and put another one of similiar size in it's place

3. Provide a few nice, non-cookie-cutter pre-built homes in different sections of the town

4. Keep custom content to a minimum to curtail size and make it easer to install

5. Provide beautiful, realistic, and original landscaping with spawners for exploration or storytelling

6. Create each section of the town around a basic theme

7. Build in simple but diversified transportation options

8. Provide enough scenery around lot areas to enhance picture-taking for lots

9. Design world with enough pre-existing Rabbit Holes to start a substantial game with little or no pre-building

Diamond Key World Specs:

World Size: Medium

Population: 0 (at present)

# Residential Lots:

# Non-Residential Lots:

# of Residential Lots with ready-built home: 3

Rabbit Holes included:

Courthouse

Mausoleum

Rustler's Den (Criminal Warehouse)

Required EPs: WA-AM-LN-GEN-PETS-SEAS-UL-IP

World Features:

I wanted to design a world with a small-town feel to both rural and urban areas, to look like an older town that has the "beautiful but slightly spooky" feel. Each section of town has it's own theme and contains flat or mostly-flat lots surrounded by theme-appropriate scenery. Old Miner's Town and Ancient Ruins feature lighted nature trails for sims to peruse and explore. Plenty of spawners, mostly theme-appropriate. Industrial Section and Wharf offer interactive objects such as chess, easel, and bonfire for sims to use ad lib. Town sections are each built around a theme as follows: Downtown, Boardwalk Beach, Old Lighthouse, The Swamp, The Wharf, Industrial Section, Business Section, Old Miner's Town, Ancient Ruins, Inland Lake, Farmland, and Banyan Peninsula. Other features include: 4 waterfalls, 4 bridges, mini-graveyard, inland lake. Most sections are accessible by roadways and sidewalks including navigable bridges. An extensive subway system accesses all parts of the island. Diamond Key currently has no custom content and no store content.

This is a work in progress. Please come back to my TSR page to check for updates or development news. When complete, I plan to make Diamond Key available via a mediafire link in the Create-A-World forum on this site.

Comments and/or constructive criticism is always welcome.

More Pictures of Diamond Key

Harvestables of all kinds can be found in all the navigable parts of Diamond Key.

Trails in Diamond Key feature themed scenery, seats, and lights.

Banyan Falls is one of four waterfalls in Diamond Key.

 A pre-built lot in the Old Lighthouse section of town.

 Old Mining Town's beautiful but spooky scenery invites only the bravest sims to explore.

The old mine is guaranteed to turn up rare (or not so rare) gems and metals.

The Industrial Section features intriguing urban locations including an old favorite, "The Grind". 

Drifter/Homeless sims will find it easier to start life near the Industrial Section where useful items may be found among the scenery or in lots.

Downtown in Diamond Key, sims will find a mix of modern conveniences among scenery that hints at the town's history.

Wildlife are attracted to every part of Diamond Key.

Fishing spots are beautiful and easy to find.

What's Black and White and Red All Over!?

A Newspaper!  (Get it?  Red / Read).... ok fine!  Black is the new white! Or maybe white is the new black... who can say for sure! What we can tell you is that we're having a screenshot contest and the theme is Black and White!

Take a screenshot in one of your Sims games (Sims 2 or Sims 3) and either transform it into black and white using an editing program, or simply make it as black and white as possible using objects and clothing that are already black and white.  It never hurts to add a pop of color here and there, but the majority of the image should be black and white! Your shot can be anything related to Sims, but it must be PG-13.

Upload your screenshot to TSR, with the title 'Black and White!' To do that, click on Account at the top of the front page, scroll down to Edit Screenshots and click. Choose the tab at the top that says Submit Screenshot and fill in the information. Also, make sure you change the Public to Yes or no one will see it. 

You may enter as many times as you like.

Entries must be submitted by 10PM EST on Saturday, August 9th 2014. Winners will be announced by Thursday, August 14th, 2014.

The first prize winner will see their screenshot on our Facebook page and will also receive a full month of VIP access to the site (no advertisements, use of the download basket, etc).

Second place will get two weeks of VIP access.

Third place will get one week of VIP access.

(If the winner is already a VIP, the time will simply be added to the number of days left on their current account.)

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Daily Update N4

Hello lovelies! 

So... tomorrow I'll have my last test. Math, I'm ready for you. *puts jet-black sunglasses on*
After I've done the test. I'll take a nap. After a few hours, I'll wake up with a good feeling.
I've no idea what I'll be doing then. . . Oh well, I've to work at 5PM.. But man, there's 3 things I'm definitely going to do. 

1. Reading every story I've had followed. I haven't been able to read every story on the site. A few, but I'm missing the latest ones! But I'll get uptodate soon. =]

2. Finishing a sim, and put it up for download! I've been working on a sim . . . . Soon.. you'll see.

3. Writing Endless. The name may be Endless, the story isn't. It's going to it's end. The question however is, when? Well, we'll see!

Waiting For The Sims 4

HELLO EVERYONE! 
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I LEAVE TO CREATE THINGS FOR THE SIMS 3
I ENJOYED PLAING VERY MUCH! BUT I GOT A LITTLE BIT BORED OF IT
CANOT WAIT FOR THE SIMS 4! 
WILL RETURN WHEN THE GAME ARRIVE WITH NEW AND FRESH STUFF! 

ALAN 

Er, story?

5000 or so words into a story, and I wonder why I keep adding ideas to this already behemouth piece. (You should see my notes, seriously...) My writing muse, she dreams in vividly colorful epics. Oh well, it's not like I haven't written 50-60,000 word novels already.

I just wonder how I'll post this on TSR...or even if I will post here. The places I want to take this story, it won't be approved I suspect. :\ This might end up on my Livejournal page.

Power of Pink Diningtable

I had to update the Power of Pink Diningtable because the Sim could eat, but not just sit at the Table. I'm sorry for the inconvinience.

So if you play and not only decorate in Game pls. redownload the Table. New Filename: ShinoKCRPowerofPinkDiningtableUpdatetAnim.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH EVERYBODY ******

Hello friends. I post this little message because you are likely to leave me messages and comments.

then I confess that I have so many messages that it is difficult to meet all the world very quickly.

So if sometimes I long to answer. Know that I will.

Thank you all for your support. You are my inspiration.

Friendly.jomsims.

Frustrated.

Dang it, why does Isla Paradiso have to be such a buggy world to play? I've even got ellacharmed's less buggy version of the world (via MTS) installed, and still after an hour of game play, the freaking world stutters, sticks, and lags. *throws things*
