boredom...

This is my first post!

It's Autumn!

I love the Autumn.  The smell of fresh morning dew, the colour of the leaves on the trees....

Anyway, to celebrate the season, I have created a set of short sleeved woolly jumpers (sweaters).  They will be published tomorrow here on TSR.  Here's a sneak preview:

Hope you like them!

Time enough

The meshing or UV mapping have to wait. I checked some textures to my daughter and I think she had enough with it, still it is not perfect. We smiled during playing, she made me screenshots. Thank you El Nyna.

What I'm working on now!

tThis is what i'm currently working on. I think i'm gonna call it maggie :) what do ya'll  think of calling it Maggie?  All comments are welcome! 

Halloween!

I guess I stay a kid at heart.

Even though sadly in France we rarely celebrate it, I still like this day and have some good memories. I have started to create a bit for Halloween, a couple of clothes and paintings mainly, though I like how my table turned out. I want to try to create for the Sims 3 soon, we will see how this go. 

I have many projects, most of them above my abilities. But it's trying to do it that we improve and get better, right? There are many awesome creators, on this site and others, and I am far from being one. But it doesn't stop me to try my best, and as long as people like what I create, then I will keep trying.

Thank you!

Kate In Canada Part 2

So here is part 2 of my Kate In Canada series, four more items inspired by outfits worn by the Duchess of Cambridge during her trip to Canada this summer.

The set requires two meshes available at TSR, one mesh from Mod The Sims and one mesh from H&M Fashion Stuff.

The four outfits included in this set are as follows:

1. The pretty black and white bird print Issa dress which Kate wore to a barbeque on the evening of 30 June along with black Pied A Terre Imperia sling back espadrilles and which she was also seen wearing the evening before her wedding. This dress uses a mesh from H&M Fashion Stuff (one of the few meshes from H&M Fashion Stuff that I hadn't already re-coloured! - see my various H&M sets) which is very similar to Kate's dress except that it has a collar and bangles.

2. The elegant Vanessa dress by Joseph which Kate wore for her departure from Québec on 3 July. I wanted to make this dress with the pretty bolero jacket she wore over it as she arrived in Prince Edward Island, but couldn't find a suitable mesh. This dress uses mesh 090 by Liana. I have included the white gold Asprey diamond pendant she wore as part of this outfit.

3. One of my favourites, the Alexander McQueen knitted sailor dress, very Anne of Green Gables, which Kate wore during her visit to Prince Edward Island on 4 July. This dress uses mesh 005 by Liana. A custom mesh rendering the scarf in 3D would have been ideal but, as I've said before, I am not a mesher and have to do the best I can with existing meshes.

4. Later the same day, Kate changed into a much more casual outfit to take part in a dragon boat race. This outfit comprised a black and grey Nike anorak worn with dark blue jeans and very cute taupe/white Bala moccasins by Sebago. Finding a mesh for this outfit was very tricky and I had to compromise. I couldn't find a mesh with a hood, skinny jeans and flats, so in the end I plumped for a conversion of a male mesh from H&M Fashion Stuff by Fantasyrogue at Mod The Sims. It has a hooded long sleeved jacket and flat shoes but baggier jeans than Kate actually wore. I  have categorised this outfit as both everyday wear and outerwear.

As always, a big thank you to all the talented mesh creators who give me the opportunity to re-create these real life outfits for The Sims.

All these outfits are available for adults and young adults.

If you like these outfits, please check out my Kate Superset and Kate In Canada Part 1.

I'm still planning to re-create more of the outfits from the Canada/USA tour, so watch this space for updates...

SA selection!

It was great news becoming a Select Artist for TSR on October 7, 2011. I'm very happy to be creative and the Sims allows so much for me to do and learn. Thanks to everyone that has given me great feedback and helped me along the way. I hope to be around for a long while, especially with my new interest in meshing! Building lots is my first love though. So no way will I stop that. I appreciate all the kind words from so many great people on this site. Take care all:)

What's Next?

I've been busy making a few more patterns and here's whats next from me over the next couple of days.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) you will be able to download this pretty pink and lilac pattern:

And the following day (Wednesday), you will be able to download this one:

I will let you know what's next on the agenda in a future post.

Until then, happy Simming (and downloading),
