Let's begin

Hello,

I'm not new but it's time to properly do my work. ;)

Finaly, I decided to upload my houses (etc.) here soon. You can find some my works at:

I will be glad if my old nickname will not be a problem. 

With love,

Legacy news and bugs

I've recently missed my sims so much that to satisfy this hunger for simming I came back to something that comes easy - my sims 3 legacy! I had both pleasant and unpleasant surprises from the last time I played... No more "clock skips minutes" problem (at least not in my legacy save, I didn't have the courage to check other saves, too happy for now)! But something's VERY wrong with the maid service. Maids don't come any more. They used to come 3 and more at a time, now they don't come at all. I tried calling for services, but it says I have the service already "ordered", so I tried canceling. But it won't cancel either, I called about 20 times, still not canceled, they say they sent a maid out already. I just wonder, will it be the same if I need a repairman and don't have a handy sim around? Will the fireman or policeman also not come if I ever need them?

I guess I'll find out sooner or later... Other than that, hey - my legacy idea (rainbow colors) is on sims wiki! http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Legacy_Challenge Well, unless of course someone else came up with it, then it might not be only mine... But I know I didn't copy it from anywhere, I thought of it myself, a few years ago, while still with Sims 2 only.

I'm sorry I abandoned my chronicles for so long, but I am on my final year of studies and I have so many things to do and worry about that I can barely find time for playing. And chronicles are something that takes careful planning and thinking through. Besides, my Sims 2 game loads almost an hour... While Sims 3 loads fast and I just "go with the flow", no planning. I will come back to my chronicles, I promise, I miss them myself. So I hope there are still people who read... All this being said, I'm back to my legacy. It's 4th generation is at the age of teens already!

Still busy : )

It is a while since I uploaded a  new set, but I am very busy atm with installing my new computer. But the new window set is almost done....

Here is a small preview of the door

NHL Eastern Conference jersey sets complete

I have finally made 15 teams for my NHL Eastern Conference jersey collection. :) I'm starting on my Western Conference collection.

Busy :(

Hey guys! I wanted to apologize for not uploading Chapter 2 of Back to Pleasantview yet. It's just that I've been soo busy. It's the last year of my studies and my life is pretty stressful at the moment... So it will still take me some time before I can submit Chapter 2.

Be happy!

Chapter 3: DAMN YOU INTERNET!!!!!!

Grrr! I absolutely hate doing this! But chapter 3 is going to take a few more days. I wanted to have it out like 2 days ago but unfortunately our internet is COMPLETELY DOWN!!! It's all ready to go I just can't upload it.

Now before you go calling me a liar, because I am obviously using the internet to type this. I am using the internet on my phone as a hotspot but it's the end of the month and i'm addicted to youtube, therefore leaving me with little internet that is extremely slow!! Just think what you think is slow and then multiply it by about a hundred. I've already tried uploading this stupid blog entry 3 times!! Because my internet keeps cutting out, but this time I'll be sure to copy all this text and paste it somewhere else so I don't lose it AGAIN.

Can you tell i'm just a little annoyed?

Anyway so chapter 3 should be out in a few days. I did try to upload chapter 3 but it just kept timing out and I'd lose all the pages. So......it will be out soon I promise!! And there will be no more posts about late chapters!! Unless EXTREMELY unforeseen events take place. I mean honestly the internet sure picked a good day to crap out, it's like how often does that happen?!? Just when you really need to use it, it's gone. I think it's some sort of problem with the actual router or something, need to speak with the internet people.

Alright I hope you're all enjoying your day :)

Adios xox

Pets

I like pets, but I can never decide which to focus on. It can take so much time...

New Home Design Series

First, I would like to say that I am very new at submitting my home design work. I am still working on some things. Unfortunately, I do have to limit what I add into my homes because I don't have the money as of right now to be a paid subscriber. So if my homes ARE located in the subscriber only section, just know that I did try my best to make it so they would be in the free section, but I must have included something that put it in the subscriber section without realizing it. I'm still working on getting the hang of all of this. While I work hard on my homes, I certainly am aware that they don't belong in the paid subscriber area.

With that being said, I have finally settled down on an idea to do a specific home series. I'm going to do as much research on classic homes as I can (the first being the Classic Dutch Colonial) & then build them as best I can according to classic features. In the description I will include what the old school/classic features are. What I put in the homes I design may not be exact, but as any home creator here knows, we can only use what we have. I can't think of where I got this idea. I'd like to think that I'm that creative? But It is quite possible that this has already been done on here & I've seen it & forgot that I've seen it but remember the idea itself. So, if that's the case, please let me know.....

Going Home

I thought I should post an update for you all. I'm still at my parents' hobbling around on my broken foot and recovering from my massive blood clot episode. But I go in for a followup tomorrow on my foot and maybe I'll be able to start walking on it with one of those ugly boot things. I plan to return home this coming weekend once all the Turkey Day festivities have died down. I can't wait. I miss my bed, my TV, my food, my bathroom, my privacy... everything. With that will come a return to devoting time to my business so that will be less time for sims. I've been having a blast over this time period with the game though.

Some odd things I've noticed that scream "PATCH ME" are pets sending wedding gifts. That's just creepy. And my sims happily write them thank you notes back. What? You can't just walk over and pet the dog to say "thanks"? Do animals shop online? Maybe that's why horses run amok all over town. They're doing wedding shopping. Ah, makes perfect sense now.

Does the imaginary friend thing creep anyone else out? I'm sorry. It's got "Chuckie" written all over it. It's a bit odd when they're a teen size sack of crap standing there whining about playing this that and the other thing. And they have bad traits. Like kleptomaniac. Wonderful. Just what I need. Imaginary thieves. The burglar comes to my lots nightly the way it is. I guess they think it's Walmart or something. The guy gets beat up thoroughly every night by the cop, the butler, or the brave homeowner. Not to mention the dog chasing him around and the horse coming out stamping his feet too. Sheesh. Get a clue buddy. You're NOT going to get away with it.

Does anything bad happen if you just delete the stupid dolls? I have a household with six kids and 4 of them have annoying imaginary friends that have the wonderful talent for cancelling EVERYTHING in their queue repeatedly so they can have pillow fights. STOP IT! I want them dead. All of them. I'd hate to scar the kids by deleting their buddies but they're annoying. I hate them. Who's stupid idea was that anyway? We all need more disturbed children in our lives. Really. My sims take great pride in knowing all their kids are insane and talk to themselves and pantomime different activities. It's even better when the kids skip school because the stupid "friend" cancelled their queue.

Does every kid get one of those dumb dolls? One of my households has six kids and two never got one. My other household has two kids and one didn't get one. I really don't want any of my kids getting them. It's stupid. Get a real friend, not some make believe pile of crap from a Disney nightmare. And I love their names. Boinky, Buddy, Pal, Wiggles, Hesper, Patches, Peaches and Lord knows what else has come in my mailbox. And every one has looked different. Amazing. So much time and effort put into such an annoying addition to the game. Someone at EA needs to be shot. It's as much fun as the pranking in Sims 2 that ruined every relationship I ever built. I'm not a big hack user but I did have to get the one that removed that so my sims could live normal, happy lives instead of having flaming thought balloons of every sim they encountered. How many people carry around an endless supply of water balloons anyway? Who even carries ONE around? If you stick it in your pocket and it breaks you look like you peed your pants. Not cool.

Um, anyway, things are moving along for me as far as recovery is concerned. I'm spending my obscene amount of freetime playing Sims and Rift. The violent side of me needs to be nurtured too.

Kate In Canada Superset

A superset containing all four of my Kate In Canada sets will be published on Friday 25 November. This set comprises 19 items: 9 dresses, 2 coats, 2 casual outfits, 3 shirts, 2 pairs of jeans and 1 bag.

I love Kate's style and I have very much enjoyed trying my best to re-create these outfits as faithfully as possible - admittedly, with varying success! Some outfits were easier than others, but I always enjoyed the challenge. I hope that you (and your Sims!) have also enjoyed it. Please comment here to let me know which item was your favourite.

Many, many thanks as always go to the very talented meshers, without whose meshes this project would not have been possible: BBKZ, Fantasyrogue, Liana, NataliS, Simal, Sunair, Tantra and ulkrhsn.

If you enjoyed these sets, please take a look at my original Kate Superset.

My next project will be a set of Kate's outfits for Christmas, so keep an eye out for news here in my blog, on my facebook page and via twitter.
