Wednesday Update

Just a quick note to say I'm still alive!

Everything's been really busy lately with new jobs and old jobs, and quitting of new jobs, and losing of old jobs because the store's closing down. Plus my course started last week and everything's just been a bit hectic.

Anyway my explanation aside I have been working on the Tomb Raider stories recently and I'm getting ready to start publishing them soon. I'm not going to say when because that just usually leads to disappointment.......so I'm just going to say I'll be publishing them in the near future, and also to promise that a gap this big between chapters will never happen again!

Anyhow I hope you are all enjoying this lovely.....Wednesday? Yes it's Wednesday.

Adios xox

Today is a good day!

well, today was a good day. I just got up, but I am still tired, sleepy. Maybe if I go to bed. I wake up on later. I am sad because I do not have a job. see you later

Savant - Modern TS3 lot coming!

Got something new coming up, and it isn't a traditional. Still no CC in it, not even store stuff. It's a 2 bed 3 bath modern home with lots of extras.

2 Bed
3 Bath
3 Floors

Attached garage, pool, hot tub, laundry room, open floor plan, office nook, stocked bookcases, landscaping, fireproofed fireplace, some upgrades on major appliances (unbreakable on Hot tub, dishwasher, trash compactor, washing machine, and computer). It's currently awaiting approval, but hereis a pic.

EPs: Currently I only have World Adventures, Ambitions, and Late Night. You will have to SHIFT+Click on the front door and choose it as your front entrance or the simmies will use the back door...durn simmies. :P Oh yeah...the garage does work, even without the door. LOL! You can see more pics on my forum area Illiana's Cushy Cave. Hope you like it!

It's Showtime! Screenshot Contest

The Sims Showtime expansion pack is coming out in March, and that got us thinking about music. So, what's your favorite song? Share that song with us in our It's Showtime! Screenshot Contest and you could win subscriber downloads or simpoints to be spent at the EA Store!

Take a screenshot in one of your Sims games that helps describe your favorite song. Are you into techno? Then perhaps take a shot of your Sims on the dance floor. The shot can be anything that you think represents your song, but it must be PG-13.

Be sure to tell us what the song is either on the screenshot, or in the description. Then upload your screenshot to TSR, with the title 'It's Showtime!', at the following link - http://www.thesimsresource.com/mytsr/screenshots/add

You may enter as many times as you like.

Entries must be submitted by 10PM EST on Sunday, March 18, 2012. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, March 21, 2012.

First prize is winner's choice of either a free day from TSR or 500 simpoints to be spent at the EA Store.
Second prize is winner's choice of either 10 subscriber downloads (including hair, sets, lots, etc) from TSR or 300 simpoints.
Third prize is 7 subscriber downloads (including hair, sets, lots, etc).

(If the winner is already a subscriber, the prize can be transferred to a non-subscriber.)

This is really great!

I reached 2 million downloads and I can not tell you how much it means to me that many of you actually enjoy my work ;) It makes me want to do more.

It has come to my attention that some of you want to be able to download my retextures based on free meshes and I will certainly think about that in the future.

Lately I have not been around here so much because of my studies and illness(both me and my pets), but hopefully I will have more time now. I really appreciate your kind comments on my creations and it really lifts up my spirit. Thank you all!! :)

The spring is coming soon!!

I miss my TSR Family

I am so sorry for being so inactive, I was too busy with real life and working on making more money online. Since I'm more on the stable side on my 'sideline' I'll be making more houses to you folks so stay tune. ;)

New Clothes made by me ^^

Finally my Rockstar Outfit is finished :) I wll release it as set because I could not decide what looks better - skirt or pants ^^

Blog 13

 Soon available for upload is a house that I call "The Homeplace". As it mentions in the description, this is based off of the house plans for an actual home that was built in 1900. I am very familiar with this home since I live in it. ;) I thought that I would mention a few things about the home itself that other people might find interesting.

 First off, the basement is a highly prettied up version of reality. I live in Pennsylvania. Almost anybody who lives in this area knows that most of the basements around here leak, especially in older homes. We had people come in and take a look once to see what could be done. They laughed at us. (Not kidding.) So unless we win the mega bucks lottery it's just going to have to leak. It is also full of spiders. I try to keep it clean down there, but they just keep coming back. Yuck.

The basement steps are not put in the way they are IRL. They wouldn't go in that way and function properly.

 I only put in one of the closets that actually exists, only because the sims really has no real need for closets.

 In the backyard area there is an herb garden. Unfortunately the sims have no herbs so I left that out.

 In the bathroom off of the kitchen it actually has two steps to get to the sink and toilet. I really did put in a red carpet runner in there and decorate rather baroque. We call it "The Throne Room" and laugh about it all the time. There has been a discussion on if we should invest in a "gold" toilet.

 Room 1: While this is now where a lot of houseplants reside, this used to be an office in 1900. The original owner was the area's Constable and people would come to see him there during office hours.

 Room 2: This actually used to be two rooms. Sometime during the 1940's somebody knocked down the wall between the two rooms and turned it into one large room.

 Room 3: This used to be a large screened in porch until sometime during the 1960's.

 Room 4: We are not sure what the original purpose for this room was supposed to be, perhaps a parlor. But during the 1930's up to sometime in the 1950's it was a candy store. :)

 Rooms 5 and 6: Those two rooms switched places sometime during the late 1920's. 5 used to be a bathroom, 6 a bedroom.

 Rooms 7 and 8: Those did not even exist until either the 80's or the 90's. We are pretty sure that they were not built by the same people though. The person who put up 7 knew what they were doing. Whoever tacked up 8 was either drunk or mentally deficient. (Possibly both.) We did find evidence that there used to be another structure there at one point, but since there are no actual house plans for the original we do not know what it was. We do have a few pictures of the house when it was first built, but they were not taken from that side of the house and focused on the people, not the house.:) The most that we can see is the front door and a little bit of the house.

 Hopefully you found all of this at least mildly entertaining. :)

Changes

Hi everyone :)

Few thing have changed in my life - firstly, I finally finished my University :)! I am really happy about it. Secondly, now I have more free time for creating! I'd like to present you my newly built house - 1 Rosewood Valley. It has got 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, kitchen and diningroom with cozy fireplace, livingroom and a garden... everything what your Sims will need :). Here you have some pics:

I hope you will enjoy it :)

Patterns and a terrain paint!

There is a set of two geometric patterns that I made and that will be available to download tomorrow, and also a pretty terrain paint with the green grass and some little flowers among it, that will be coming very soon!
