Some people...

Ok, ok, this is 'coz the last time I was foolin' around tuenti - the spanish facebook its name comes from the deformation of twenty because the social net was starded by university students, I saw lucers instead of losers and WTF girl, if you don't know how to use another language nor how to use it colloquially... Well, then don't fuckin use it.

I love to say gonna instead of going to but, well...

Sorry for the long wait!

Joplin Mo Tornado

If there are any TSR members who live in Joplin or near Joplin/have family in Joplin I give you my prayers. I myself live near Joplin and am fine but that is not quite the story for many. Often with diasters it is hard to digest the magintude of devastation that can be left behind because it is not personally effecting you. It is quite a different story though when you are amongst the devastation. Joplin, Missouri on Sunday, 22 was hit by a tornado. When I think of tornados, I think of small towns only being hit not large cities like that of Joplin. It is estimated that 70% of Joplin has been wiped out and the number reported dead is climbing. Simply put the devastation is staggering. So for those who have lost loved ones, their homes, or anything you are in my prayers. I hope everything works out and Joplin recovers.

All Conversions Now Hosted on my Site

You may have noticed I stopped sharing my Sims 2 to Sims 3 and Sims 3 to Sims 2 conversions here on TSR. The reason for that is, I've been told that for SAs and FAs they expect more from us, and so conversions aren't allowed because they are easier to make than new meshes. Of course, I don't have a problem with that at all, I'm happy to make conversions for my site only. All conversions can be find by using this tag http://www.theninthwavesims.com/search/label/Conversions   Included are several Sims Medieval to Sims 2 conversions, as well as a few Sims Medieval to Sims 3 conversions. Tons of interesting conversions there neighborhood decor for Sims 2, glasses for Sims 2, so much furniture for Sims 3 and a lot more. I still of course love sharing my stuff here on TSR as well. But most of the time, you won't find any TSR exclusives. I usually like to share everything with my site and TSR except for now conversions. Anyway, just thought I'd give you all a heads up on why there are no conversions here on TSR from me recently. As always, have fun, and happy simming everybody!

Lot Making

As I was browsing TSR, I stummbled on some of the artists making lots (resedential/Community).

Its so cold

Its too cold to get out of bed, but my sims is in another room :(

WIP

Just wanted to let you know i have been making new objects, this time add-on to EA's Rise High The Window. But i have also been busy with nearing Uni entry exam, so this project has been progressing slowly. Windows are pretty much ready, but i need to test them in game, take pictures, figure out their prizes, write down info of them and so on, before i can upload them. Hopefully they will be uploaded by next weekend.

Success!

Yeah, we nearly sold all tickets for the concert and then we proffesional grade (ya know, lasts years of conservatory ) did our best singing Notre Pere (Maurice Durufle) and All Alone (Popular Chinese) which are both bloody difficult to sing. Oh, and with the orchest and all the chorus we sang Ameno and the Suite Galiciana (Lela and Para Vigo me voy). There was more, but we were on the dressing rooms so no idea about it jajaja

I'm still here! :)

Hi all,

Just a quick update to say I am still around. I have had the all clear on my health issues and I am totally relieved to hear that. I have felt totally out of the Sims world for so long now, that it really did make me feel down at times :(

I am now planning to get all my stuff ready to travel back to my beloved Italy, so I have been busy packing. I am hoping to be back in Italy within the next 2 weeks, fingers crossed.

I will then be able to set up broadband again and chuckt this rotten slow dongle out of the window.

I have lots of stuff planned for you all. Basic tutorials for beginners with step by step photos. I also plan on finally pulling my finger out and learning how to import my own custom meshes/objects. My health issues have certainly slowed me down, but that is all going to change now, I promise!

I will be totally upgrading my profile page and preview shots too. I will be taking a serious look at all my past creations and updating any preview shots that are very sloppy. I want the stuff on my page to be nice to look at, so that you can feel that I have made every effort for you. As I not only want you to enjoy downloading my creations but also enjoying looking at what you see too.

I am so excited and raring to get back into the Sims world again, so watch this space!

Hugs to you all

Why won't you get out of my head!

Do you ever start building something and then get frustrated that the item you need is completely unavailable?  I've had this idea for a lot popping in and out of my head.  It's a lot for an eco-conscious Sim, a starter meant for one to two sims, that really makes the most out of square footage while leaving a beautiful. lush outdoor lot.  Unfortunately, because I'm following a real floor plan and when I do that, I like to make the final outcome as close as possible to the original, I'm stuck!

You see, the original calls for a ladder to be used as the stairwell up to the loft space.  I may just have to reinstall TS2 to get this out of my head.  You see, I can get one-two tile ladder stairs for it, the capabilities are there for them to be made.  The frustration is that no matter what I try to build right now, I keep coming back to this.  I keep thinking about this lot.  It's like a song that you can't get out of your head!!!  I just keep being drawn back to the lot that I've started with and I wind up playing with the landscaping and planting veggies and fruits... I've tried other things, but six tile stairs (LillieBou's being the closest I've found http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/986039) but they just don't seems to fit right.  The house wind ups being too big on the tiny lot that I have them placed on and it cuts away from the landscaping provided for the outdoorsy Green living Sim.

I had a thought, sort of a brainstorm, but I don't even know if this is possible because I'm not animation savvy - Could a pool ladder be converted to do the job?  The climbing animation is there and it would help them get from the main floor to the top floor, but can it be done?  Any creator's that see this, if you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them.  I've posted this idea in the wishlist category on the forums too...

Well, best get back to my scratch pad! 

Happy Simming!
