Some Updates �
Hi All! Okay, so to start off this entry, I would just like to state some updates on upcoming items etc. :) First of all, I am hoping to release some more painting and pattern sets, preferably in a Japanese/Chinese/Typically Asian style. In fact, you might be seeing a lot more items from me that are Asian-based, as I am currently working on an asian-based world, which is actually my slightly-editted version of Pokari City from Ether Saga, an online MMORPG that I very much like playing ;). I was really interested in the Architectual aspect of the city, so I thought that I would have a go at creating is myself! So far it is only in the production stages, but I have finished making the base of the world. I just need to add lots and some more details now to make it look a little more realistic. :)
I will update the blog with images of the world when I personally think that it should be shared. At the moment, I think I would be a little bit embarassed as it really doesn't look that good :P Just some mountains and trees. Nothing special. :)
At the end of this week, I will be finished school for a 2 week Easter Holiday! I will therefore have plenty of time to make and upload some brand new Sims 3 items for you all to see! :) I am moving off Sims 2 now, but I will upload a few little things for Sims 2. Just a few, like some patterns etc. :)
I hope that you all will like me uploading some more Asian inspired things, but if you would rather see something else, please do not hesitate to let me know and I'll see if I can upload some other things that aren't Asian based for you. :)
Thank you for checking into the blog and I hope that you are all happy and well!

Happy (belated) birthday the Garden family!
It's been a week since we passed March 28 2011, the official anniversary of the Garden story. What a long way this story, and the family, have come! Who would've thought that my little experiment with writing a storytelling legacy would grow to this extent. 48 chapters already, and we're at the dawn of sixth generation, the F generation... Only 21 more to go!
At this point I would like to thank all my readers, your comments make the writing even more fun, this story wouldn't have come this far without your support! Also, I would like to thank my mother for the help with writing and screenshots, after all, the Gardens wouldn't be here without her, being my mother's sim family.
Credit goes also to the Sims Design Avenue for the Galaad world that has offered a great home for Cherry and her descendants.
It has been a great ride, I hope to get you many more chapters of this crazy family :)
Happy Birthday to the Gardens!
Site Problems
I don't know if any of you have noticed there is so much negative energy going around the earth right now! UGH! Well my site got HACKED! again! This time I was not able to recover. They cancelled my premium service, deleted all my content, and downgraded my site to html. Webs.com does not offer backups to that, and the report abuse if your site was hacked feature is a total crock of Poo Poo! They gave me a long form letter saying if you think your site was hacked, it was probably this, and you should do this, blah, blah, blah! They left me another email to contact, so I did, the webs billing team. They said that they wanted me to prove that I owned the site and the premium service, well I couldn't answer 1 question right away, so they closed my case. So, anyway, long story short, I'm through with webs forever. I've started a new blog here: http://theninthwavesims.blogspot.com/ There you can find any game mods for Sims 3, global mods and careers for Sims 2, or any conversions from Sims games that you will not find on TSR.
New Creations and as well as A day in a Life of a Firefighter Series
A day in Life of A Firefigher Series: It has not been abanded and I have the next chapter pictures. I just need to upload it to the site and then place the story line. I have not forgotten about it. It coming.

Patterns: 3 New patterns, with Cross patterns coming new Colors.

Multi colored glass
So, I ran accross this really cool vase while looking for inspiration on something to create, but I had no idea about how to go about making this vase. I was one of those glass vases with streaks of color like blended in the glass. I don't think I am descibing it very well. Anyway, I posted a pic on the forum hoping someone could tell me how to make it.

I didn't get any responses. I thought maybe it wasn't possible although that seemed silly to me, but maybe no one has thought about doing anything like that before but that seems even siller. I mean there are easily thousands of creators in the sim community and not one person has thought about doing multi colored glass. Really. Well either way I never got a response. No big deal.
Yesterday i was playing around with an idea I had for a piece of modern table decor. I'm making a modern laundry room set for my sister, and I decided to clone my vase with lemons from my studio living dinette set (which I am sorry to say is still not uploaded, I'm waiting for them to figure out the filestorage situation before I upload any more sets to tsr, although I do have a few individual items I am working on.) Anyway, so I closed this vase which, btw was cloned from Nickedemia's Vase with oranges. i didn't use any of her original mesh but i did you her defuse map. I just changed the color from orang to yellow.
Well I was playing with this same mesh yesterday. I had an idea to make a glass bowl with a few multi-colored balls as a modern abstract piece of table art. It's not really my style but I knew my sister would like. (on ana unrelated topic, my sister just found out she was pregnant which is really good knews because she is 29 and she has been with her boyfriend for almost 5 year and she hadn't had so much as a scare, so yeah I'm gonna be an auntie.) Anyway back to the point so I was playing with the diffuse map for the balls, it has a transparent alpha layer and I created this kind of funky multi colored disign using the
smudgey finger. I though it was cool. i don't rember what made me decide to make the white transparent but I did so i basically had the streaked color over a transparent layer and when I loaded it back in to workshop, low and behold I had what looked like multi colored glass but it wasn't a glass material it was the basic Phong material with a partlu transparent diffuse map. So I had to play with the tiling and I had to play with the actual image to make it seamless becasue at first you could clearly see where the image split and it looked crazy. I ended up with this. This isn't my finished product I just througha quick mesh together to show you what i was trying to accomplish. You can see between the color is transparent and you cna make it completey clear or kind of milky using various tools. I use paint.net mostly and I 've been experimenting with transperancy for a while.
Anyway I figured this out completely on accident, but I will be uploading a vase with a similar texture soon, I just wnat to practice the technique a little more because It's a little sloppy looking.
