TSRAA Lot

Here I am again! My latest lot is due out tomorrow. I'm really excited about this one. It's my first and probably my only lot using TSRAA content. I tried to keep track as I worked on it so I wouldn't forget to credit anyone. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. There's also some store content in there too. Rowen seemed to be well received so I thought it wouldn't hurt. I say this might be my only lot utilizing TSRAA content because in my sorting of my CC I've come across some stuff from non-TSRAA artists. I hate to lose it because it's stuff I frequently use. But it kind of makes it harder to keep track of "safe" content and stuff I have to go track an artist down for permission. A hassle to say the least.

Garahel is a renovation of my Ayesleigh lot. I don't know if any of you remember, ages ago, I said I wanted to do a better version of it and put my spin on the architect's design. I never had time until now. Being unemployed is wonderful, even if it keeps me up at night worrying about money. I recently had to gut my game because, well, I don't know why. It just refused to work one day. Huh, worked just fine the day before. Anyway, I dumped my folder, generated a new one, and started adding back CC. That's when I decided to do a TSRAA lot because I had to reinstall all my CC anyway. Garahel would've been up sooner but I had a real bear of a time getting it uploaded. It just wouldn't go. I tried for days and finally it went yesterday. Sheesh. So it's a little delayed. I think I fixed everything I didn't like about the original. Some stuff just bugged me. Especially the roof. I altered some walls and gutted the entire upstairs so I could redo the roof again. I think this version is much better. A better roof, a little more room upstairs, a basement, lots of landscaping (which I usually don't do a lot of since I like stuff very simple and uncluttered), huge pool, reworked the master suite, and many little other tweaks to get it just right. I'm still not sure if I'm game for my orange master suite but I stared at it a lot and nothing screamed "redo me I'm gawdy". So orange it stayed.

I don't have plans for anything new yet. I'm still sorting stuff in my office from back when I moved. Always the last room to be done. I haven't found my house plans and written ideas yet. I might just go looking for inspiration online. So much paper to go through. And I hate doing it. I'll spend days sitting on the floor going through this stuff. Yuck.

I put my sim into the game and plan to collect some screenies. Maybe I'll update the look of my minisite with new graphics. Dunno. I do like the cookies. They make me drool. I'll leave you with that thought.

Tips, hints and info..

Vacation

I'll be away for two weeks on a much needed vacation to the wonderful Adirondack mountains adorned in their spectacular fall colors, then on to the coast of Maine where we'll have a seaside cottage with our sons and their wives. Those lobsters better start looking for a good hiding place. . .   :-)

Well, first I'll create nice czech traditional kanafas pattern set. Look forward...

07 September 2011 - Coming Tomorrow/Update.

I'm going back to school tomorrow (the end of my summer) :(

Just thought i'd post a preview of the house that's coming tomorrow. I probably won't be making anymore house until the weekend.

Preview: Starter Modern (unfurnished).

Perfect for moving a new couple or singleton, it's cute and small :)

This is an unfurnished bungalow, and it's just §15077!

New set out soon

Currently working on a new set called Kate Part 3, comprising four complete outfits and one bag made famous by Kate Middleton. Hope to have the set finished and published soon. Keep an eye on my minisite, facebook profile and twitter for updates.
