I'm BAAAAACK!!!

(For now--lol!) Anyways, if any of y'all have been wondering Where the HECK has Murfeel been lately!?, well, it's a very long and rather boring tale, with absolutely no fire breathing dragons, valiant knights, faery princesses or evil witches involved (yawn). Suffice it to say I was having computer problems, but I just wanted you all to know that I haven't deserted TSR at ALL, and that in very short order hopefully I'll have some nice new lots up! I learned some new tricks while I was away, and hopefully those aggravating days of losing progress due to corrupt saves and crashes are now firmly in the past where they belong. ^-^ I missed everybody! WOW, I've got some catching up to do! I'm off to download everyone's gorgeous work now! Ta! :D Murfee Lee

Laptop Working again

I got my laptop a day or two from my lastest post. I have been on and off checking in. Though I am working on something. I am writting the draft for my story that will be coming to you soon. Once I have completed writting it. I will have someone proof read it and see if it makes sense. I will be doing this as well when re typing it on the computer. Once that is complete I will start creating and playing to get the family up to where it is to start though You will get a into with this a bit. You will meet the families as well and their town.

I plan on creating a St. Patrick day pattern and few others as well and get some pets uploaded as well.

Lots of Upcoming TS3 stuff to watch for!

Thought I was kidding about getting stuff done, did you? Huh? (You know you did! Admit it!) Well, got news for you...I have just completed 2 new lots, PLUS three new fun decorative items to add to them! I know, I know...You're expecting a mansion, an estate, even a good ol' fashioned family home, right? Well, that's not always the way I roll. ;) Sometimes I throw something in the mix you just weren't expecting...(see my Biker lot for example!) So here's some peeks at what I have been working on that's kept me so busy I haven't been able to answer my comments yet!

Hope this gives me a GREAT excuse for being a lazy bum and you'll forgive me. :D (As an added bonus, your sim can kick down that ol' sign and then put it right back again! LOL!) Thanks for the thought process Estatica! Ok...back to testing, and building that last lot! Thanks SO much for all of your support! (((Hugs!)))

Love and hugs -

First Lot!

I designed my first lot that I will be sharing. Now, I am sure that anyone who reads this will think that this post means it is the first house/lot I have ever designed.

No. Haha. More like the Hundredth... haha.... Anyway...

It is designed after the house I currently live in!!! YAY!!!

When is a set TOO BIG?

I got carried away with myself on this "Seashell Melody set" & ended up making not just a set but a MEGA-SET & when I counted the files all out it came out to a grand total of 162 files.

160 walls & 2 floors

It started with ONE texture & A matching tile, from there came 2 sizes of said texture & 10 colors of paint, then in game I started thinking how nice it would be to have the tiles line up with the bathroom fixtures since this is how we would most likely tile our bathrooms in REAL LIFE, because I like to use the SFE cheat I NEED walls that are a flat (yet NICE) color to blend.......and before I knew it I had made a gazilion walls.  I have the files & have seen them IN MY GAME & I think these may be the best ones I have done yet.....they flow wonderfully & the wallpaper is absolutely seamless. I almost didn't get the paint wall with nothing but paint......HomeCrafter wasn't reading 2 of the 10 colors.....but I got it working so for each color will have 14 walls.

The GOOD news about this is that builders should be thrilled to have so many choices AND the pattern will be nice for ANY bathroom and/or bedroom; the tiles will line up nicely with any bathroom fixture, and since there are nicer walls included with wallpaper/wood paneling combo will make for nice bedroom.....and there are plain paints so anyone who likes using the CFE cheat will be able to use THIS set.

The BAD news: We are having a doozy of a storm & I'm already feel it & had to take some pain pills.......sooooo......the making of the collages is going to HAVE TO wait.......I'm just way too LOOPY from the stupid pain meds.  Between the rain & the meds I'm not sure that I CAN get them ready for uploading (cuz I have to make quite a few collages) by/during this weekend.  BUT since the ONLY thing left to do inorder to share/upload IS making the collages I WILL be able to get them share-able (ready to hand over to TSR) by the early part of the week on Monday or Tuesday (USA time).....SO LONG AS the rain has cleared (otherwise I'll still be in too much pain and/or drugged).

1 year at TSR!

i CAN'T believe that this hobby could last long... when i found this web, i suddenly fell in love with this amazing site. Then i satrted to learn about CC basic, and now i am picked to become selected artist in this site! what an achievments! :D i couldn't believe i can go this far, thank you <3 :wub:

Hello all =)!

Well first of all I wanna thank all of you who been giving me nice comments by the two lots I've build so far. It's fun to know you guys like my creations. There will be more houses someday but lately I've kinda lost my way, LOL! So I can't kinda decide what to create and how. As you guys seems to notice I love to do something different and to mix with things when I'm buildning.

I know for sure the next house won't be with a stable. It might be something like a villa or mansion or maybe just a small house with a backyard and garden like. But as soon I've made up my mind I'll start creating again and I'll let y'all know when the third creation will be up and coming.

I hope you all will have a great weekend and feel free to leave hints and ideas for my next creations. I love all feedback and I'm up for all kinds of ideas to help my inspiration to come back =)
