Stepping Away To Regroup

Due to losing so many family members I'm going to need to take some time and regroup. If you did not update and purchase the Nitfty Knitting pack you should not have any issues. I want to thank each and everyone of you who have liked, loved and/or commented on my baby cc. I just can't deal with losing my mother and brother who was my biggest fans at anything I attempted to try to do. I sincerely apologize to those who have updated to the newer patch and content. I will Lord willing be back sometime to pick up where I left off but I just can't do it for now. Much love to all.

Broken windows, doors and arches due to latest EA patch

I am aware of the broken windows, doors and arches due to the latest EA patch. I do need to wait for the software or patch before I can update them. I will try to update them all, but as you all know I have made a few LOL. So be patience I do my best :). Although I like what we can do now with the windows stacking on top of each other, I am full of inspiration again :).

Cannot stop creating

 What do you do when inspiration strikes and although you are really keen on releasing the set you've made, you continue making things for it, thus delaying the publish date even more? I had a set all ready to release and publish, but I found more and more items to make for it. So I took it out of the pending pot and am still adding to it. I will have to split this into two - maybe three sets because it has gotten out of hand a bit. 
My son is malnourished and has been without me for so long, he has developed an intimate relationship with the wall.

"Hiya Wall" a la Shirley Valentine. It answers back too.

I will complete it soon. I promise... ooh look. A piece of paper. I should make that for TS4!

All the best.

Ps. Does anyone actually read these things?

SIMS 4 CC WINDOWS/DOORS NOT WORKING!

Hi everyone! Is anyone else having problems with the cc windows or doors since the most recent update to the game?? The Sims team added the ability to have stackable windows in addition to being able to move them off of the grid along with the doors, since the update, ALL of my CC windows/doors show up as just a frame. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of a solution?

In-game functions

I love the [ and the ] keys in my The Sims 4 game. I LOVE them. To be able to adjust the size of almost every item in game is a blessing. It is the single most useful function in my game. To have made a plant for example, and to have made it small enough to fit onto surfaces, and wanting to have the same plant fill a gap on the floor... It's nothing short of genius. I use it often. That, and, the bb.moveobjects on cheat code. In fact, I begin my game by immediately entering that code. Once the game starts, that is. I have over 20gb worth of mods and cc. 20GB! So much that I had to create a junction link and move the Sims 4 mods folder to my D drive because my C drive was full. 

Anywho... I also love the alt key now. That too is a favourite in my game. Free movement of items... it is like wearing jellly on one's feet. It's awesome.

So thank you, Maxis and EA. I am eternally grateful.

New sets and saving lives.

Hello all. I have been busy making a new set of furniture items for you to download and ignore in game. A bit of a departure from my norm - it hasn't a single mid century modern item in the set. At all. Not one. Perhaps I should have started this blog post with a warning - NO MCM! What is going on in the world?! First a global pandemic, then a financial recession, and now, I, padre of TSR publishes a set without a single, solitary mcm item. 
2020 is a strange year indeed.
So this set of items has an industrial-farmhouse feel to it. Large timber items coupled with wrought iron and steel. It is a dining room. And it is almost complete.
And I am trying really hard not to get distracted by the passersby on my road. Gazing out my window from the first floor study room, (through the plantation shutters), is a favouirite pastime. Alas, we live in a close (cul-de-sac), so the foot traffic is limited to my neighbours. But they're good to gaze at occasionally. I wonder if they know I see everything? 
In fact, I recall a few years back, one of my elderly neighbours shouting for help as her husbnad had collapsed in their back garden. I rushed over, shoving another, elderly neighbour aside, and helped pick him up. He was mortified as he vomited and vomited. I pretended not to be bothered by it. But I do have a weak stomach for that sort of thing. Still, I rubbed his back and told him not to be silly, quitely gagging to the side. He was rushed to hospital and was released the following day with news that his internal defibrillator hadn't shown any activity and gratefully, it was his blood pressure. Too low. So the dose was adjusted and collapsing prevented.

Oh my. That was a bit of a tangent. 

New set. Coming soon! Look early for disappointment! (my new catchp phrase). Smooches.

A thank you to you

A thank you to you

I wanted to thank you for every single download. I'm really speechless because in the short time it went quite fast to crack the 100.000. I'm also happy about your comments and thank you for this. I also get ideas from you and suggestions, thanks for that.

So that's it from me in a nutshell for you.

Submissions taking a long time

I understand that there may be shorter staff etc atm but I've never had my submissions take this long for approval. I submitted my Horror Movie/Tv Collection over two weeks ago and its still pending approval. Has anyone else noticed a delay in submission approval? 

DELAY IN UPDATING MY BABY CC

I’m so sorry to those who use my baby cc. Ive been down with uncontrollable muscle spasms in my back since end of July. Have made a new onesie for nifty knitting and testing it. However I’m on medication so it will be a bit before I release it. In the shape I’m in and sedated right now you never know what will end up where. Please forgive me for not getting them updated.
