Additions & Failures
Simple, but weird ideas for Sims 3. I know you guys will love 'em. Maybe even a few Sims I've created in the game? I have Sims 2, but Double Deluxe sucks... The Bodyshop doesn't work for that, and it's ticking me off. So, I'll buy Sims 2 itself and work on projects that way. So far, you guys don't seem disappointed in my creations. I hope? Please, feel free to give feedback! I'm going to try and unlock screenshot so you'll be able to see what all I've done.
New milestone 500.000 downloads ... thank you all!
Wow today we reached 500.000 downloads. Thank you all so much!

Hi everyone! *group hug*
Recently I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I mean A LOT. It’s gotten so bad to the point where I got a migraine and had to lie down for a couple of hours. I’ve had this thought and burden on my mind since I came back from the coast, since I last posted a chapter of Forgotten Redemption. The thought that have been on my mind have now settled though, as I have finally made a decision.
I’ve decided to stop writing Forgotten Redemption.I know some people will be angry or upset, but I have my reason.
When I started Forgotten Redemption I was so excited and I was very passionate about the story. However, as tike has moved on, I have new perspective and I have bigger ideas on my mind. Maybe I’m being foolish or selfish, but believe me…it took me such a long time to come up with a decision. Do I continue even though I no longer have a passion for writing it, or do I stop? I was so worried about everyone else’s feelings and reactions, but in the end…I realized something very important. This realization is what made me come to my decision. I realized that I do not want to let my readers read something that I no longer have a passion for. Without my eagerness and determination for this story I wouldn’t want to bring you something that I haven’t put my heart and soul into.
I apologise to those who wanted to continue reading the series, but please understand…
I’ll put up another blog post of what I was planning to write for the upcoming chapter and a few pictures too.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported me on my story, you mean so much to me :D
Keep writing!!

Select Artist for 7 Months!
I just realized yesterday I was a Select Artist here at TSR for 7 months! Wow time certainly flies. I'm always the kind who's the most critical on my own work, so I'm surprised and delighted that TSR continues to feature my work regularly, and keeps me on as SA. I still love The Sims 2 and creating for it with a passion (though you may see some Sims 3 things from me from time to time). I took a rest from creating around October - December to focus on spirituality more, but came back to my first love which was creating for Sims 2. And I actually learned some new things this past winter Accessory meshes, clothing meshes, BHAVs, adding slots, animating food. I'm having so much fun creating, and it's all the comments and downloads that keep me going. So a big Thank You to TSR, and a huge Thank You to all the downloaders, and friends I've met here on TSR.
Tanyu!

The Olde Farmhouse
You love gardening, the peace of rural life and don't mind a somewhat used look if your home is spacious enough to house a family? Then you should have a look at this old Farmhouse with the oldest part being built at the beginning of the 19 century. And the descendents of its first owner added room by room to enlarge the house during the times. The builder was a peasant but over the decades his sons and grandsons and great grandsons nursed a garden and grew many many plants he didn't even know that they existed - rare and extraordinary plants they brought from their visits from abroad as they all were a rather adventurous family.
It was hold
by the family over a period of nearly two centuries but now Mrs Rose Leister died at
the high age of 101 years it is for sale. Because of the many additions you'll
have more stairs to climb then used to when living in a temporary house but
perhaps that's just what Mrs Rose saved her health all through her long and mostly happy life.
She never got tired to take best care of her garden and its plants and nursed them so carefully that at least she's got the perfect garden. This garden is the
warm and vivid heart of this home and it will fill the heart of any avid gardener with pure
pleasure and joy - if working or relaxing in the warm sun before the old stone walls that keep away the wind from the sea. Here you get a look into the backyard:
But the house has a heart, too: it's the kitchen with that great fireplace that never went dark. At the floor plans you easily can see which rooms of the house Mrs Leister was living in. That was the kitchen, of course, followed by the small room leading directly to the garden. Though Mrs Leister didn't change much at the
building itself she made sure that the appliances were contemporary and of best
quality. She preferred to spend her time in her beloved garden with gardening or
painting or doing some pottery in the shed at the end of the lot instead of wracking herself with old fashioned washing. The washing machine as well the dryer and most of all her stove are high tech! Adjoined to
the kitchen was her bedroom she loved to read in before going to bed and the bathroom that had access
both from the kitchen and the bedroom. At the other side of the entry you'll
find the living room - no much furniture here as she gave it away when her youngest daughter move out but she loved to play the piano in the evenings lit by candles and the fireplace.
On the left
side of the landing of the first floor there is a bedroom she called the "boys' room". It's carefully kept clean but you can see it
wasn't used for more many many years.
The wallpapers and pictures still show the love of her two adventurous sons who
dreamed of travelling to spots far away from home: they painted the walls with treasure paths and decorated them with objects their uncles brought with them returning from visiting spots of the world far far away. When they ran away at the age of 16 Mrs Rose wasn't afraid first - she knew her brothers did the same. But when they didn't return home
for years and some day she got the message that the ship they stowed away with had sunken, she locked the door. She never changed anything in this room and only visited it to clean it or to remember the
time when her twins were small. Then she cried some bitter tears. On the right hand there is the old study of her
children - one summer they'd painted it with dragons and she never changed that
either - though it might look a little surprising to visitors. When she became
older she placed a tv in this room and on cold dark winter nights she used to
light a fire in that fireplace and enjoy some movies. Watching the wall painting always gave her a smile - they were so talented, all the four of her children. Adjoined to this study
there is the "girls' room" her two daughters shared and the
children's bathroom. These two rooms have a rather low ceiling but no
one ever worried about that as they felt very cosy sleeping there. And whenever the daughters and their family were visiting they slept here. Especially the grandchildren loved the attic - they used to kneel at the window and watch the cars driving by at the old street below.
There is a basement below that farmhouse with a garage, a room with an old but still working nectar making machine and access to a spacious cellar one level down - a great place to store nectar shelves! The basement has direct access to the garden, too, and when you're dirty you'll appreciate the shower Mrs Rose has installed here and even the old privy under the stairs.
I know it's
not really cheap - but it's a real bargain if you're looking for something like
that to live your dream and to raise your children at this wonderful spot of Sunset Valley. And I promised dear old Mrs Rose that I'd look for the right family to move in her beloved home - a family that appreciates the beauty that it offers.
So if you're interested, don't hesitate, call me! You know I'm the real estate agent you can trust in. You’ll find me right near the library.
Sims Medieval - Quests
EA UK just released this info :)
Package 1: Quests
The Middle Ages were a time of adventure and intrigue so of course The Sims Medieval includes a variety of heroic quests for your Sims to undertake. From initiating an Inquisition to arranging a politically advantageous marriage, the quests that your Sims engage in shape and color the experience of all of the Sims in your realm.
Quests – The Basics
The information that you need to monitor and direct your Sims on their quests is easily accessible from the Quest Panel. There you can see who is assigned to your current quest, what they need to do (broken down in to tasks that they need to complete), and how well they’re doing. Sometimes your Sims have options in how they accomplish certain tasks on their quest. The direction you choose will of course impact what impact the quest has on your kingdom, so choose wisely!
Quest Selection
You start quests in Kingdom Mode by choosing one from the Quest book. Quests can play out in a wide variety of ways, depending on the “approach” you take at the start, and on the choices you make as your Sims progress. Your approach also pre-determines which heroes you need to complete the quest. You will then choose your quest leader and the primary hero for the selected quest.
As you make choices, the right-most section of the quest book records each selection, so by the end, it shows a summary of all the quest decisions you’ve made. If you forget some of the finer details of your current quest, you can check out the quest book to remind yourself. You can also quit the current quest from the quest book, but beware, you will not regain the Quest Points you spent.
Quest Performance
How well are your Sims doing on the quest? There a couple of indicators that let you know. The first is the goblet and small meter next to it in the UI panel. This goblet and meter reflect your current medal ranking (bronze, silver, or gold). You can also review your quest performance meter by hovering over the Quest Performance goblet. The higher your performance and medal ranking when you complete the quest, the better your rewards! When a quest ends, your current Performance Level dictates both the medal and the rewards you receive.
Your performance doesn’t just entitle you to better rewards. If your Quest Performance drops below the bronze medal ranking, you will be thrown in the stocks! So remember, neglecting quest tasks for extended periods of time lowers your performance until a quest task is completed.
Go Forth Gallantly!
That’s it! Those are the basics of quests in The Sims Medieval. So gird your loins, summon your courage, and send your Sims out in your name to make their mark on history!
