Farmhouse Dining Set, Coming Soon!

I just uploaded a gallery of pictures for my upcoming set, Farmhouse Dining Set! The set has approximately 11-12 pieces. I'm still working on a bowl of decorative apples for the set, which is giving me fits! But, all the others pieces for the set are complete and I just finished taking my last preview screenshot! So, while my free time is still very limited I hope to publish the set soon!

My mom's ill-health is still a major concern for my family. Although I find creating for Sims is a great way to escape for a few hours! Thank everyone, for your support, compliments, and many well-wishes!

Take Care and Happy Simming,

Carolyn

P.S. Don't forget to check-out my new gallery, Farmhouse Dining Set!

Sorry for the delay!

First, thank you to everyone who reads these and bookmarks me as an artist, even though I'm nothing of the sort.  It encourages and inspires me to continue developing the lives of my Sims and creating their backstories, documenting their current lives, and plot the expected and unexpected for their futures.

It's been a while since I wrote a blog piece, as I've been getting comfortable (more and more) with Sims 2.  Fortunately I have all the expansion and stuff packs, so I can do a lot with my Sims.  I also have to thank everyone in the Forums for their advice and help as I run into difficulties with Sims 2.  Without their patient assistance I'd still be stuck with basic families and not know what to do with them.

I'm in the process now of recreating my Sims 1 families...really, after all the effort I put into them and all the stories I told about them, did you think I was just going to forget about them?  I now have an Old Town neighborhood set up in my game where I am slowly recreating the families.  Where before in Sims 1 I couldn't do anything about family connections except what I said about them, here in Sims 2 I can actually do what I said they did.  So, that is what I'm planning to do.  That means, though, that in some cases I'm going to have to start a generation (or two) back so as to actually create the familial relationships that existed in my Sims 1 families.  For example, Grant Stone nee Silver needs to have messed around with one young lady when he was a young man, and that lady would have to have a child, who would also have to have a child, who would then have a son named Brody who would grow into an adult before his mother remarried into the Hick family, giving Grant a great-grandson only a couple of years younger than his youngest.

So, as you can see, it's going to take a while.

Because it's going to be in a separate neighborhood, I'm going to divide this blog a little.  Anything having to do with my Sims 1 families will be preceded by the title "Old Town Tales."  Anything having to do with my current Sims 2 families--which right now are all in Belladonna Cove--will be preceded by the title "BC Chronicles."  If--no, when--I get started on the other neighborhoods, I'll do something similar.

Thank you again for your patience, and within the next couple of days, I should have a couple of BC Chronicles blogs posted about my families in Belladonna Cove.  I'm still trying to figure out how to tie together all the families in Old Town--some had multiple children, deaths and divorces and car accidents--so actual blood relationships are a little tricky.  I should get them done before summer, so please bear with me.

Thank you.

My computer is in the shop.

 So... I guess I'll be taking a short break from lot building untill the repairs are done. But I will be back.

Free Top For April

Hi guys.."It's allright" is unlocked until May 2, 2011..Hope you enjoy..

It's allright

Needed: New Ideas

I think I'm simmed out. 3 weeks straight of creating has me burnt out. It's all I have been doing with my free time. I haven't picked up a book in a month. speaking of books, I am soooo excited about the movie " Water for Elephants". That was a great book, I heard a rumer back when they first talked about making it that Sean Penn was gonna play the August, the girls crazy boyfriend but I couldn't tell in the previews if that was him pr not. For some reason I pictured him bald with a mustach. I don't know, either way i can't wait.

I have a set to upload but I'm waiting till they figure out the file storage problem. I don't want to upload them as individual items. I also made a modern laundry room set for my sister. I didn't do the actual washer and sryer, just all the stuff to go in a really cool and modern laundry room. Who says l;aundry rooms need to be boring. She's made all kimds of request. Some of them are kind of out there and she keeps bugging me about clothes and hair. I'm actually a little more interested in making clothes then furniture but I'm not ready yet. I've played around with some meshes and I did make a skirt but it was kind of genereic and not that interesting. I'll keep trying. Anyway thanks everyone for downloading my stuff, I hope to have plenty more to share soon. Habby Simming

Bucket Planters

Hi everyone!

I'm working on a new set of planters that I wanted to show you all! There are only a couple versions as of now - Star Flower (my brilliantly unoriginal name for the pointy pink one), Philodendron, and a "Tropical" Philodendron that has flowers. As of writing this I am half-way done with meshing a Tulip version as well.  You'll also notice the plain bucket of dirt, too - it will be joined by a dirtless bucket, and a knocked over bucket with spilled dirt - as suggested by MsBarrows for screenshots and story telling purposes.  Bucket, flowers, and foliage are all recolorable on all versions - the dirt is not. (Although it might be on the "spilled dirt" version, for things like a bucket of spilled rocks, paint, concrete, etc)

Can't submit lots! Grrrr!

Hello everyone, I know everyone who usually downloads my creations might have noticed one thing, no new uploads, why is that? You might ask.

Well, I can't submit anything new because whenever I upload anything for submission the details for price, category and how many bedrooms, bathrooms etc.isn't there, so until things get fixed I can't upload anything new.

So, I haven't quit or anything, I'm just on a non voluntary hiatus, hopefully someday I can return.

Ouch!

Ok, by accident ALL MY STUFF, PUBLISHED, NOT PUBLISHED, WORK IN PROGRESS HAVE BEEN LOST!! 

But, my dad got it back, and yeah, there is ALWAYS A CATCH! Everything is in a BIIIG mess! Everything I had in one map is now in thousand different maps.. God, this make me so sad!! I had such a great day, and then this comes and ruins everything!

This means I'm not able to create stuff that has been requested, nor I can't update files if it has because some files have been corrupted! Sorry for any inconvenience! THIS SUCKS! 

Creating Jensen Ackles
