Pink Bubbles Bathroom...

Some shots from my latest work. I hope you'll like it. :)

It took a lot of time working on the shower. While shower curtain closes, the pattern is broken. Sorry, this is the best I can do. :(

Compressed Rock and Super Compressed Rock

I noticed that when I had compiled these packages for uploading, I must've done it wrong.  The single files have no description, and therefore, we all have to refer to the set page to find out what it does.  Nice of me, no?  Well, I'm mildly frustrated, so I just figured I'd give everyone a heads up on a couple things about the purpose and use of these terrain paints. 

As the set description dictates, this is just meant to keep the same rock graphic, but compress it a little on some of the steeper hills and cliffsides so that there's more detail in the rock, and it doesn't look so goofily stretched.  In some instances, it looks rather linear, if I can use that word, like the rock is compressed too much.  So here's a couple ways to work with these...

1. The super compressed rock vertical and horizontal are a little weird to work with, and they will seem a little pixilated.  If you pull up a hill roughly a wall and a half high, it looks great.  Anything higher than that will kinda look goofy.

2. The compressed rock is a little easier, the detail looks good on higher slopes, or it'll give smaller slopes a better, fuller rocky look.  I was going to come up with a vertical version of that, but I'm still playing around with it.

3. When you go to paint the hillsides, mountainsides, or the cliffsides, it will seem as if nothing's working, like nothing is there.  You may have to paint one section of the hill, et. al., for a while, meaning putting the cursor over the terrain and holding the mouse button down for a while, like a good 10-20 seconds.  Now, I've noticed that when that's done, it looks sorta pixilated.  If you erase the mountainside down to green grass, the paint will show up more clearly, more detailed, and very quickly.

Please, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to drop me a line.  Again, I'm sorry I didn't put descriptions in the individual files, I hope this clarifies anything.

Thanks for downloading, everyone, I aim to please.  ;)

I promised long ago a new sim of Angelina Jolie. Well it will be out this september and i decided to show you guys the sim has her latest movie role, Evelyn Salt. The sim will be her regular self but for fun i decided to show you guys this look.

Why its ALWAYS like that?!

Hello everyone,I've got both good and bad news..Lets start with good..Ive made a posebox and it works fine in game..yay!

Here's pic:

BUT submission area gone mad (for me at least)-there's no message items updated meaning that they get uploaded to "uploads" without any information or without preview image ot without being part of the set,sometimes all those glitches happen....

I have no idea why it happens...I think I should write to online support right?

Taking a break :)

Hi everyone. This is just to say that I have to take a break from TSR and everything because I'm swamped with school work and whatnot now. And although I hate to say it, I may not pick up Uncharted Territory where I left of. It's become like a chore to keep uploaded chapters of it - and I think it shows. Whereas with Shadows, I couldn't wait to add a new chapter each time. So I'm taking a break and seeing where that takes me. So look out for me in a while's time when I'll be back (mwa ha ha), hopefully with a brand new story. :)

me: update and a question

sorry the stories are getting kinda spread out.  I didn't play for a little while cause I was actully trying to build some houses in the game.  managed to get one done for the monthly compation in the forums.  It's not the best looking house ever but for me, it's actully really nice.  Maybe some day I'll get my zip file software to work right and I could up load it.

also had back to school, my younger two kids are in high school and school started back up.  shopping, getting scheduals, and band practice for them.  which means a lot of running around for me. 

had a job interview the other day.  still waiting to hear.  I really really want the job.  I think it would be great for me.  but we shall see what happens.  hopefully will find out soon.  :)

I asked about screen shots with CC in it, and so long as I don't take credit for the work (Which I would never do, since I would be the first to say I can't create)  it's ok for me to show what my sims look like.  so, those of you who read my stories. I will leave the decision up to you.  would you rather read my stories as I've been doing, leaving it to your imaginations?  would you like me to add one or two screenshots to my blog to give you an idea what everyone looks like?  or would you like to see it worked out in story mode?  figure I'd put it to you all and go with what you all would prefer. 

I haven't done a lot of screen shots, and have two more households that would still need to be written out here; Heart Happiness' and Meagan (pleasant) Dreamer.  I took some screen shots of Nina, and her daughter Niela.  so I could start with them on the screen shots. 

I try not to let my story up dates here be more then two pages in word.  keep them light and short for easy reading.  just post me a comment on what direction you want me to go.  and thank you for reading!!

Pieces of Me Chapter 10

Pieces of Me Chapter 10 is almost done and ready for upload to be approved!!!

And now a comment from the peanut gallery

It seems like everyones patience with Dani is wearing thin, but i want to reiterate that Dani is still a teen who has never had to deal with boys and love and with wanting to keep some reality to the story we all know and can identify with Dani's thoughts and feelings when we have done something or given someone a second chance we didn't feel were deserving of! So have a little faith in Dani that she can do whats best for her! 

And with that said off to finish up my 10th chapter!
