Get ready for LONG chapters! >:)

Yay! I finally finished the "Message in a Bottle" Chapter 4!

This one was purely made from my sweat and blood and I'll be happy if this would get approved soon.

I'm still waitng for the Chapter 3's approval. I Hopefull it would come out soon.

Thank you for reading Message in a Bottle. ^^

Hey you!

!!! Sudden End - Chapter 6 is submitted! I'm terribly sorry that it actually took a long time. Chapter 7 will come right after 6, ok maybe 2-3 days, but not 1 week! xD Anyways that's it for now! 

Now I'm going to read all the stories I still need to read =D! And replying to some messages ^__^ 

Burned Out Brains...

Oh my, I'm so tired after re-uploading my firsts' story: "Message in a Bottle" Chapter 4.

When I was about to finish re-touching it, it was suddenly... GONE! O_O

I almost cried but I didn't gave up! unfortunately, when I was done uploading the screenshots, I can't seem to save the texts and always got the error 500 >_<

I was working on in for about 12hours of uploading, checking the grammars and shooting new screenshots at the same time. I hope if I were about to put the script tommorow, I won't be able to experiece the 'sudden death upload' moment again. I'm going to cry and would probably make me lazy for being active here, even though I really love this site. I sacrificed my 3D model for the story, which is okay with me because I really love story telling... I just don't want re-uploading it again and again. you'll know why I'm frustrated after I finished it (with prayers and miracles). haha!

haaaa.... I hope tommorow--- I mean, later... the site will be in nice shape ^^

I think, I need to sleep now and dream of Jasper. xD

READ READ READ !

Are you reading? Good. Here's a cookie, don't get bored while reading.
Anyways, I've had a BUSY day. (friday the 13th, wait.. THE DAY OF DOOM!!!?) jkjk xD I had school and had to work untill 10:00 PM. Now I'm home and it's .. 11:00 PM. So I'm going to bed, after I finished this blogpost.. 

I will be finishing the next chapter of my story "Sudden End" tomorrow. I'm probably going to retry uploading a sim, WITHOUT a subscriber item, tomorrow too. And I still have to reply to MANY messages + thanking everyone who commented. Oh shet, I still have to read some stories too which got added today! Argh argh. I will have enough time tomorrow!

Did I bore you? Good.

Creations, furniture, decorations

I want to know if I can use furniture from artists who seem no longer to be doing anything here for sims1? I want to use some of their old stuff (sims2 stuff) for my houses to use on another sight. You won't let me put my walls/floors or houses on your sight, so I found some people who really care about their members. 

Now can I use, shakeshaft, Reevena, Jope or Cashcraft. I will assume they are no longer doing anything for the sims2 game. I am going to use my walls/ floors and houses on the other sight, even the one I think I left for you, just the viewing.

If you have any politeness you will at least answer this post.

If they are no long creating sims2 for you, then I think we should be allowed to use them on other sights. I tried to get in touch with eveyone of these people, but you have it so they can get no email from me.

Have the decency to answer this post please

email me @ [email protected]

I'm hurt that you make it so impossible, awful, meanly, inconsiderate for some members to be able to get their creations on your sight.

We'll see how decent you are to your members, if you answer this letter, I have 7 days left to reup my membership, if you want me to reup, then answer this blog.

Problems since Island Paradise patch came out

Hello everyone! I want to tell you that during this time, after the game update 1.55, my game has gone very wrong, several problems that are caused by using custom content from this page. I want to clarify, I'm not saying that the content of TSR is corrupt, I think the CC from here are excellent!. Unfortunately I can not use them again, several users of The Sims 3, included me, that bought our copy of Island Paradise could not play anymore because this errors:

- When choosing a household, and click the checkmark icon, it turns gray and does not load the game, therefore, it is impossible to play.

- I can't share creations, OF ANY KIND, get a window saying "FAILED TO SHARE (name of the creation)"

Really damn tired of these two errors, I tried all kinds of solutions, (I will not list them all because it's toooo long, just know that I got terrible headaches), I looked for help on the official forums and I was relieved to know I was not the only one who had these problems, EA is aware of this and they said they are working on these bugs.

So it's not a problem caused by corrupt CC, since before the 1.55 update, my game and of many users ran well. I just hope a solution, as it is sad not to be able to use CC in the game or in building houses as I do.

Sometimes I think that EA creates many updates to make incompatible to all content that is not from their store, The official EA support clarifies that "the use of unofficial custom content can lead to problems". So in my case I can not do anything else, just to play with the basic content of The Sims 3 and its expansions, plus the contents of the store.

I do not know if anyone here has the same problem as me, I "envy" those who do not have problems playing with CC, since these problems do not affect everyone, so my next creation will have only store content and base game and expansion stuff, it is sad, very sad, I was so happy with my content and houses from the amazing artists from TSR and now I can not use anymore! 

I hope all this is fixed with the next update, with nothing more to say, I say goodbye.

Alan.

After days of being a TSR active...

I was amazed how friendly people around here, it makes me happy and lessed stress! ^u^

I was busy writing the manuscript for my first Sims story: Message in a Bottle.

It was originally done but in a novel-liked style so I needed to convert it to Sim-stlye. :D

Oh, the screenshots are making it longer and I did a LOT of revisions, though the stories and characters are the same ^^

I wish I could extend the clock from 24 hours a day to 40 hours a day. I haven't finished texturing my 3D character for a short-film plus I got interested on making some CC but I'm having a problem with the preview images in TSR workshop o_O

I can't squeeze out my time, but making Sims story is so much fun!

Happy gaming! :D

Catching You Up!

It's what's on the inside that counts, right?

So if you've read my last blog, you know Jalee and I are avid lot decorators but new to sharing our stuff with the world. We have been discussing what kind of houses we want to spend time on, and which ones we want to share. I personally have a more traditional decorating style so I naturally gravitate toward dark wood and patterned fabrics, among other things. My boss has a few houses and tends to choose modern designs, and since I spend so much time in his homes I figured I could draw some inspiration from them. My decision to step outside of my comfort zone and try a modern beachhouse yesterday was impulsive, for sure. I placed a lot in town and then just ... stared at it. I've never built and decorated a modern house before! Where do you start?

Okay, okay, I'll start a sweet little cottage and use some of my traditional style just to get the juices flowing. Great!! It went well! I spent a few hours on a 10x10 lot building a two-story house with all the accoutrements I would expect in my own house. "Starter home" not so much, because it turns out I have expensive tastes, haha.

So I finish the interior, decide on a color for the exterior, slap a pretty roof on it, and VOILA! All finished. Time to take screenshots for the submission. *snap* *snap* *snap*

Hmm. I never realized before that I don't spend time on my exteriors ... and looking back on other houses I've done ... sometimes it really shows. How embarrassing. All right, Simmers, it's time for some research. I've got to learn how to put together brick and stucco and stonework and siding to compose a curb appeal masterpiece. Stay tuned...
