New submission, finally!

Hello dear simmers,

I have been inactive for a long time now, but finally i have submitted a new set to TSR. Fingers crossed it gets approved. I have been working on this set for about a year now... not actively, obviously heh. It is tittled Ainola build items collection, including 3 fences, 1 railing, 2 trimmings for the fences, and a gable. The design is the same i posted a preview of last spring, check my screenshots.

I was hoping to finish this project during winter holiday, but unfortunately my comp fried at christmas day. Thank godness my harddrive was intact, so i could recover all my important files, including this set. For now i have to settle for my man's old laptop. I have installed most of the programs i need for creating. However, university continues to keep me busy, so its very unlikely i get another submission ready any time soon.

Wishing you a great year of simming,

Sanna

Busy Busy Busy

Hi :)

Very busy at the moment, making lots of walls and floors for The Sims 2.

I have lots of new ideas to share with you all, however, these won't be available for a long time yet so keep watching this space and i will make an announcement when they will be available.

Thanks for everyone's support in 2012 and hope this is continued throughout 2013.

What's With That...

So, I've just tried to comment on a couple of screenshots and both have said that they won't be published until reviewed as they have been marked as spam!!! Since when have I been classed as spam? Bit disgruntled about that..anyone else have the same problem?

Latest build in Monte Vista

Hey Simmers,

Just wanted to upload some screenies of my latest edition to Monte Vista.. this old world style villa called 2 Via Isabella!

I had a lot of fun trying to make it look "old world".. but of course it has some modern updates like bathrooms.. main floor laundry, kitchen.

No pool or fountains though! A well in the backyard.. too ponds for catching those beloved anchovies! and a garden :)

Let me know what you think! and I sure hope downloaders will like it!

New Make-Up Collection!

This is the first part of my collection! Hope i can complete a set

Overit Set

The soundtrack of my life...

How do I get inspired when writing or creating a new Sims3 set? Primarily when working on a new piece I'm either listening to some awesome music or catching up on whatever show I'm currently addicted to. While building my Hollow's End and Silent Hill collections it's been all about music and here are some great bands you should be checking out:

What is on the horizon for me - Jan 2013

Happy Wednesday Simmers!

I wanted to let you all know what is up on the horizon for me - in terms of creations- for the Upcoming month!

I have started TSR University- a very slow start I will add - I am currently at the beginning stages of it and in the starter steps of reading the "required reading" which are excellent tutorials by Angela,Cyclonesue and Riccinumbers. Presently I must read both Wings 3D & Milkshape tutes and go step bystep through each one so that I can figure out which program suits me best! This is a long ardous task that will definitely take some time! Not only am I totally "green" with both programs.. I am also unfamiliar with all the "gobbldygoop" language! LOL ( It isn't goggdygoop to those who understand but it might as well be in French to me! Ohmy! eventually I will learn the language! LOL)

I have been battling some kind of weird sinus / allergy thing this past week ( it isnt even allergy season here in Canada! ) so my progress is again really slow. ( And of course Real Life keeps getting in the way of my Simming !! LOL)

Totally difficult to learn new tings when my head feels 200 pounds! LOL 

Usually the way I work when learning new things.. is I will take a crack at something.. get totally stumped and cross eyed LOL.. leave it for a bit ( until my head stops hurting!) - maybe a few hours.. days.. weeks.. it depends.. give myself sometime for the new info to settle somewhere in my brain.. then go back in when I have "digested it" and tackle it again . Sometimes I then "get it".. other times it will take several attempts and digestion periods before the proverbial light bulb goes off.

I suspect meshing is going to be the latter!

But on the bright side... I have learned how to recolor paintings in TSR Workshop. That is a victory forme! So I have some base game mesh paintings getting ready for upload as well as some Custom Content painting meshes that Ziggy28 so graciously allowed me to use! I have a painting series starting that I hope players Scientific nerdy Sims will enjoy! Part one will hopefully be uploaded shortly.

I also have had some ideas floating around in my head for Community lots and villa types lots in Monte Vista. Have some ideas of something different then I usually build.. but yet still player friendly and easy to play. We shall see what I come up with!

So on the horizon for the remainder of this long month is the meshing.. the paintings.. some more buildings... maybe patterns? .. 

Well that is it folks.. Thanks for reading my mid week rant and Happy Simming!

The Sims 3 Supernatural: ZOMBIES!!!...?

Do you have a zombie dilemma? Because I sure do. And I hate it.

Not only are they freaking creepy, they eat our crops and I'm scared to let my sims near them.

So. Here are instructions to EXTREMELY reduce zombie population in your world! 

1. Move in your sim.

2. Press ctrl, shift and c at the same time to open the cheat box.

3. Type testingcheatsenabled true into the cheatbox.

4. Shift-click on the mailbox and select the option "supernatural population control".

5. If you want to get rid of other supernaturals you can, but if you only want to get rid of zombies select the option "ZOMBIES!!!!"

6. It is done.
