Dark Shadows and Fashion

You may be wondering what does Dark Shadows and fashion have in common.  I am not refereing to the color of shadows, but the 1966 soap opera. I remember as a kid running home after school to watch it with my friends.  Who doesn't like watching a soap opera about vampires, witches, ghosts and werewolves!

Recently my daughter and I have started watching the show together on Netflicks. We've watched the first 2 seasons which were in black and white. In the begining of season 3, they started to film the show in color! During the time we have been watching it, we commented on the fashions of that time. Many of the outfits they wore have been inspiring me to make them for the sims, especially for the elder sims. I noticed some of these styles being worn today. Well it's time to watch the next Dark Shadows episode. Let's see what I'll be inspired to create!  

70's Vintage Jumpsuit for Female Elders

I received a request to make my 70's vintage jumpsuit for Young adults / Adults for elders.  They wanted their sim to still be able to wear the jumpsuit after they became an elder.  I had not thought to make it for elders. I had to make the mesh for the elders jumpsuit. It took me about a week to do it between work and school. I had some issues with the mesh, but I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.  I hope you all like it. It will be published April 19th.

SHOOT ME!

JUST SHOOT ME!  Put me out of my misery & get it over with!

My SIM life is OVER!  I had this STUPID idea (it's STUPID in hindsight) to copy my files, pull out all my games, then reinstall them......well that was the idea anyway; I copied my folders AOK, & I pulled out most of my games without any problems, but then a couple games didn't want to uninstall, then 1 thing led to another and.....

NOW: I have lost ALL MY Sims, I've lost ALL my downloads some of which no-longer exist on the net and a couple items were TRULY "1 of a kind" items that were made as special prezzies to ME from friends who USED TO make TS2 content but have now moved on to TS3.  So now instead of being able to upload lots again which was a good 90% of my doing all this in the 1st place, or at least being able to create walls/floors for people which was fun, OR even being able to just play for my own enjoyment......I'm sitting here with a stack of games that I can't get loaded back in......and now I'm quite literally DEPRESSED!  Yeah that's right.....the sun is shining outside & it's even fairly warm......but about all I can do is TRY to not cry.  WHY OH WHY?!?!?!?  Why did I think uploading my stupid lots would be worth any of this?  Why didn't I just go on making lots for ME?  I WAS still having fun at least.  I am soooo UPSET at this point.....I'm not even sure how I'll feel about the game.  EVERYTHING IS LOST!!!  Nobody HERE made showers that had invisable backsplashes.....the ONLY place I knew of that HAD is now GONE.....& wouldn't ya know it......I HAD their "back-less showers".  I've lost MY Sims including some generation challenges where you have to see how many generations you can get 1 family through.....I had gone from Z to Y, X (that wasn't easy to come up with names for....but I had a baby naming book) W & had gotten them to the V names......UHG!

IF I could do it all over again.......I'd have just stopped @ the point that I still had the use of my Sims...... I thought maybe I could make a few people happy with being able to upload lots again.....now the ONLY 1 miserable is ME. :(  SOMEBODY PLEASE SHOOT ME!!!

Take Care 1.6: Homecoming

Finally got to this chapter done! All I need is to finish typing the other parts on modthesims.info.

Part 1 is out now if you want to read it. The other parts will be released sometime this week if I have time. Boy! It's my senior year of high school and I never thought it would be this busy and tiring.

click the photo to go read chapter 6 part 1! ^.-

Confused!

I didn't log in for a while and came back to see that the entire site seems to have been turned upside down! I'm glad to know that I am not the only one that is boggled by the new set up.

I thought I had bookmarked some artists, but those seem to be missing!  I guess there's no such thing as Kudos anymore. 

I started my first serious CAW project and am building the houses and such for it. I have a few other ideas in progress, but a few things about the house have caused set backs not to mention jarring my Zen! LOL. One day at a time and I'll move things along.

No more Lies of a Golden heart!

Okay so I went and read my story and i realized I had a ton of mistakes! How emmbaressing. Well It was my first story but I can do way better! Infact I'm already starting a new story, hopefully people like it and it gets good ratings and comments. The lies of a Golden heart had a good story line but there were just too many mistakes and I was getting no ratings or comments. So I toke them off,sorry if you actually liked them lol.

Feel free to post some tips on my guest book or in a private message! Would really appreciate it. I've been busy with my online schooling lately so I don't know how soon my new story will come out. I want to take my time on my stories more.

The new story is called - Dancing Away with My Heart.

It's a heartfelt story, about love of course, but also friendship and family. I hope you end up reading it, thanx.

xoxox, Shelby.

Alas!

Alas! My story has been approved and I'm happy that it had a 5-star rating! I just can't fully express how happy I am, this really made my day. I had to go through a tough morning because there was a huge chance that I might not graduate from College! T.T But all is done and fixed! Thank God for this day! Seeing that my first attempt was a "good job" indeed was one of my day's highlight! I would like to thank each and everyone who made an effort to read my story, feedbacks would be totally appreciated! :D

Regarding the story, I'm currently working on it! (Literally now) I'll try my very best to finish this very soon, I'll be quite busy this coming days (Internship!) but yeah, I'll make time for this! I'll keep you guys posted every now and then so I'm off then! hearts! :*
