Long Absences and Reworked Magic

Well - it's been several ... ahem ... years since I worked on anything for this site and it was at least a year since I last play the Sims 4 seriously before I got back into it thanks to pandemic. I come back here to discover my work Castiel's Warding Tattoo was no longer working properly and causing horrific glitches for people who used it or at least - turning their sims weird looking in-game. So I set back to work and have remade the tattoo as a 2.0 version. I will be trying to redo some of my other works and add to it as a means of making up for my absence...or just passing the time - take your pick.

Please... Watch this space and watch it with patience.

Keepsafe guys

it sucks and i hate it :( 

i'm COVID positive. take care of yourself guys.

My covid experience and more shutters.

I just thought I might add the details of my experience with this delightful virus that is killing so many people.

It was a terrible time, as my lovely mother in law passed away on the very same day I had visited her. It was a Thursday. We were devastated, of course. But it was all made much worse because we hadn't been allowed to see her for 6 months prior, thanks to the covid-19 pandemic and subsequent closures of nursing homes. So I kind of feel lucky that I got to see her before she took flight into the universe. She was diagnosed with dementia in 2014, and slowly disintegrated before our eyes. A tragedy and tragic disease.

We sorted out the funeral for the following Wednesday, and organised flowers etc, but all that had to be put on hold because I had contracted covid-19 somehow. I had been really careful and wore my mask everywhere I was supposed to, sanitised so often, my hands felt like leather and limited my movements to only a few places - school, supermarket, my son's martial arts club (which I don't participate in) and home. So I feel quite unlucky to have caught it. No one else that I knew had it, so it remains a bit of a mystery. However, my partner did test positive two days after I started to feel ill. And then my 82yr old father in law also tested positive. And I was so very worried about them, but they both suffered from only a slight cough and a sniffle. They were both very lucky.

Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky.

I was one of those people who showed no "typical" symptoms, and by that I mean I had no cough at all, no high temperature, no loss or change of taste or smell, so I figured the sore throat I had was another cold that I had caught from my son and the germ factory (school). I had it for a week and felt fine. However, the day after my mother in law died, I went downhill rapidly. I had nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, the worst headache I have ever felt (like 50 migraines at once), really bad photophobia (my partner opened the shutters on a cloudy afternoon, and it almost killed me as my head felt like it was about to explode), and I was completely off all food. All that went on for an entire week. I was in bed the entire time (except for many emergency visits to the loo). I lost a ton of weight (which, in my case, isn't a bad thing) and although I still had slight botty issues, I made myself get out of bed the following Sunday and face the shower to clean myself up. It was a really strange time, because my taste had changed, and that included my home décor too. I couldn't stand my house and how I had decorated it. All the mid-century items were ugly to me, and my actual taste (in my mouth) had changed also. What I once enjoyed eating was now the worst... and my greatest loss was coffee. I was a 3-4 cup per day kinda guy, but following this rancid time in bed, I detested it and the smell made me nauseous. Bananas, strawberries, all fruit except grapes, curry, cheese, toast, cereal... the list went on and I was devastated and fell into a bit of depression. Mainly because I could no longer garner any enjoyment from food. I was reduced to only eating toasted crumpets with cottage cheese, spring vegetable cup-of-soups and cups of sweetened tea. That was my diet for about a month. Even activities I loved (like creating for The Sims 4) were abhorrent to me. I simply couldn't face the computer at all. Obviously that has passed and I have been playing catch up.

However, after about 7 weeks, I finally drank a cup of coffee, and it didn't make me sick, so hoorah! And slowly but surely, it has all returned to normal and I love fruit and my home again. Phew. I was concerned that it was going to be permanent.

So, I am making more shutters. That is what I was going to write about. Long, thin ones and short, wide ones. It's all going on here now. I'm back to loving the creative process again. It's a joy.

See you two around. xx

Thank you for an amazing four years :)

Hello! It has been awhile to say the least. This whole year was been crazy for me for many reasons. I have been uploading on here since I was 14 years old. That is crazy! I didn't realize that my hobby of making clothing would soon turn into its own mini career. The amount of support everyone has shown me over the past four years has meant so much to me, and I am so grateful for everything. With that being said, as of now I am stepping away from making custom content. I started college this year, and I just do not have time any more. I have been wanting to make a return for a bit now, but time never allowed so. My priotity right now is my education, and I hope you all can understand. 

The Sims 4 has helped me in so many ways. I am majoring in interior design at College For Creative Studies. CCS is one of the best art schools in the world, and I am so incredibly blessed to be attending. The funny thing is I learned my love for interior design through the sims! I would spend hours looking at all the custom furniture on TSR, then make crazy houses, stores, venues, etc. This place helped me realize what I wanted to pursue a career in. It is crazy how one small hobby can be the thing that defines your future! 

This place has been amazing, and I am so incredibly grateful for all the love and support I recieved over the years. Maybe some day I can come back, but until now thank you for everything! It really has been a blast! If you ever need to ask me a question or anything, please still reach out! I'll still try to answer as soon as possible! 

Seriously thank you friends, and I hope to return someday <3

Post covid-19 creations!

What a horror of a virus to have, I don't recall ever feeling as iil as I did at the beginning of October. I guess I had (have) "long covid" because I am still broken a bit. I can't exert myself without feeling like I have just reached the summit of Mt. Everest, gasping for breath. I am left puffing and panting by simply carrying items up stairs, and then into the loft. It's rather boring to be so exhausted after simple tasks. So I spend my time sitting. And sometimes standing. But mostly sitting. And eating. Oh and coffee! My taste buds have finally returned to normal - meaning I am, once again, able to enjoy coffee, bananas, toasted bread, strawberries and raspberries... It's a joy!

So. on to the relevant stuff. I have made some plantation shutters for the medium height windows - a set of 2-tile and single tile. I have also made shutters specifically for doors and arches. I hope you all enjoy them. They've been fun to make. Tricky, but fun.

Happy simming all two of you who might read this.x

Leave of Absence

I will be taking a couple of  weeks off, as of today.   Routine tests have indiciated a lump on my pancreas and [because I am extremely fortunate] the finding is being investigated immediately.  Therefore I will be away from home for various procedures from time to time and unable to access my computer, at least for the next 2 weeks.

I will take this opportunity to wish everyone a special festive season and hope that we are all safe and sound come the New Year.
